Buying and Testing a Department Store Bike

- In this video I set out to buy a new bike with my friend Angus. First up I went to Big w they had a nice Diamond Back in there it was a bit expensive. Next I went to Target and they didn't have many bikes for sale so we headed off to Kmart to look at what bikes they had and thats when I came across the Crest 27.5. The reason I decided on buying it was because it looked decent just bike the diamond back but just at half the price! in Australia we don't have Walmart so I can't test a Walmart bike. I had lots of fun riding this bike and I have some awesome things planned for the bike!

It’s good to see Aussie department stores not Walmart
Big W is walmart here
dorihako in big w defense some of their bikes are definitely better than walmart bikes
ik right finally I hear big w instead of walmart
i actually have the bike be tested after 5 months of riding the front shock is blown, the rear rim is kinda wonky and 7th gear is missing 2 teeth
also the other day the left crank arm fell off and the pedals are fucked
“Basic skills” * does 100 foot wheely *
Well yeah, that is basic as its the easiest trick to do on a bike other than a bunny hop. So if its not basic then you are saying that only the bunny hop is a basic trick and every other trick ever is not.
You mean 30 metre wheelie
@@BaldMancTwat No it isn't.
Wheelies are balance tricks. A backflip is easier to learn and do with teh right equipment. A wheelie cna take months to learn.
It’s nice to see an actual review of a cheap bike as opposed to a destructive “test” you see others doing.
Agreed. Most people use a floor model and jump it down gaps without setting the bike up at all
This is actually a really comprehensive review and then you top it off and do all that rad shit on the cheap bike. 10/10
Hell yeah only youtuber on bike that has the thumbail as a real pic!
Thanks! I screen shot them straight from the video!
Biggsy Rides ....Scotty Cranmer?
What about Sam pilgrim...
Sam pilgrim
Damnnn you flew! That’s road gap was insane!

The department store bikes are fine for cruising around if set up by a good bike mechanic, but if they are ridden hard they tend to fall apart. Liked how you just did the video of just mostly riding chill on it and didn’t take it to a big bike park and try to see how fast it would brake and saving that for another video. Keep shredding 👍👍.
Thanks! 👍
lets just say i did the exact oppisite and after 5 months it is screwed
7th month update i snapped the rear axle😑
Bloodbrothers Production 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Good vibes hit me when I watch u man🙏🏽
Good to see a fellow Aussie makin great videos
I was looking at buying this bike yesterday to put a $130, 50cc bike engine on it. Great video, I was looking for a video on cheap bikes and you made the video I wanted to see! It was beyond my expectations as a bike demo video. 10 out of 10. Very cool and well done. Cannot fault it at all!
Hahaha
I recognised the, “If you have a flybys card please scan it now.”
Thanks mate. Helpful review.
I tryed to whip yesterday and crashed then ran into a tree 😐😑😑
okay
Cool
That sucks
Noice
go hard or go home right
I like the ideas you have for the bike, also I would like to see the dual suspension bike too, awesome video👌🏼
Well-done thanks for the review

you're a brave man!!
Don’t u just love it when the forks work not too bad

Great to see someone actually giving cheap bikes a good chance
IV had good brands and the cheap ones if you ride alot and are an experienced bike rider then get an expensive bike if your a new bike rider or only ride now and then get a cheap one expensive bikes are made of aluminium witch dents easy and new riders often just drop there bike or don't chain up properly or dont put the kick stand down new bike riders usually upgrade their bike pretty quickly once that have more experience if you get someone who now's how to put a bike together properly the cheap ones are fine new riders often crash and have accidents so cheap is good for new bike riders and people who don't ride often
I love your vids bro❤️❤️❤️
Nice vid 👍 keep them up
Good video mate,for $150 seems good with a bit of adjustment this is perfect for people on a budget that want a bike.
Super love your videos man
Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Informative. I was surprised that it held up as well as it did.... but then again the spokes were coming loose. Did you check them and the rims trueness out before riding? I was curious if the loose ones were the result or the cause of the 'warped' rim. Please keep up the good work.
Thanks James, the wheels were actually true and the spokes were tight at first
Greg love your videos I just wish I had big jumps like you:)
Great video mate
That was a beautiful AU wagon m8 haha! Keep up the videos they're entertaining :)
Thanks mate! :)
The mighty falcon wagon !
Watching during the freaking COVID pandemic looking for a cheap bike! Thanks for the review mate!
Good video champ!
great vid
Love your vids
Super nice
This is the best vid I’ve seen
Nice bike good deal
that bunnyhop though
another good vid keep it up :)
sweet hatch man
awesome video nevertheless I love that manual on the street really long like you said once you got used to it you can handle the bike cuz you're a professional Rider and it was awesome to see that thing jump
Haha I would’ve died, nice vid 👌
Mad video bro!
Cheers bro!
No way the Cyclops bike at 0:30 is the bike I am riding today lol. Besides being to small for me and very heavy, the bike is holding up. Great video!
Sick video 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks 🤘
Holy crap! We've got a goat. Who saw that bunny hop??? Or that manual it was dialed. Take it off those dirt jumps at the end😂
haha 😂
Those bikes have no chance
Great video mate subscribed
Thanks mate!
This is so cool! Keep up the vids
Thanks Kieran I will!
Thanks mate. The bike on its product details does say no stunt riding but it does well with you. You are a good rider
Great video, thanks Greg. I like the result of your test considering its a department store bike. Mine's one too, and mine has a sticker saying not meant for off road or stunt use...just wondering if the test bike had the same sticker?
Your skills though 😍🔥
Me got a fly buys card machine
Nice place
Good vid
bro
Nice vid
You should do some tricks with a kid bike with training wheels :P
Not sure what anyone would expect any more from a 150.00 dollar bike. Good video, I subscribed.
Subtitled 'not too bad'
Nice work mate lol
I have a second hand wallmart dual suspention that i converted to single speed rigid. The bike is rock solid and sturdier than my scott.
Hella dope
I bugared a Kmart full suspension in the shop doping a stoppie, popped the back spring off
I was just look the other day and target had nothing but kids bikes. I was thinking the one for $109 from Kmart and it got a rear shock. But I one I really like was the orange one from bigW, price over $300 putting me off. Cheers Graham
I got that exact same bike for Christmas and now I’m saving for a bike store bike. Hopefully a dirt jumper
Oh nice man
Wow Kmart down under!? We have those in Texas 😎
Aye good ole big dubs
haha my favorite shop
I remember having this repco bike from big w but now I have a giant talon 2
Sick
the bike is really good
Goes alight!
I love your accent mate!
Bit of an expensive series but this is sick !
Legend
Tx mate...you are a worthy salt !!!
Can you please test BIgW's Axle vs Diamondback BmX ? Considering these 2 for a beginner bikes for tall teen. Thanks
wow i got that one just black and gold i like the subspention
227 likes and 0 dislikes, that's a good ratio
Yeah it is! Now it had a few dislikes
On a cheap push bike I did a jump and the foot peg like bent off but didn't completely snap,off then another bike I landed and the handle bars bent down
You got a sub from India
Thanks brother
Can I pat your dog. It looks so happy
haha :)
diamondback actually do very good bikes- that diamond back would have been fine
If only you had an aldi to test their bike that featured in flow mountain bike
Yeah no ALDI around here
could you do reviews on the kmart bikes, not just mountain but urban and road as well?
