 You get what you pay for...Jun 03, 2010
By H. Butusov
Like one of the previous reviewers, I, too, had issues with the handlebars; except even the handlebars were installed backwards. I'm a mechanically-inclined individual, but am still pretty new at putting bikes together. This lead to me having issues with the cheap screws (that are prone to stripping) on the derailleurs.
On the plus-side, the manual is relatively comprehensive, although is jam-packed of information for EVERY bike that Pacific makes.
As far as the ride goes, I don't completely have the brakes or shifters adjusted, so I won't speak to their quality (although they weren't completely terrible), but the bike seat is a bit hard. The bike is also almost too big for me (I'm 5'3"), so short people should probably look elsewhere. You'll want to adjust the rear shock's spring depending on your weight, as the stock setting had no give at all for me.
The packaging from the manufacturer was lacking. I'm lucky that my FedEx driver isn't very abusive to packages, but people that are less fortunate could definitely have problems. The bike arrives with the front end disassembled (which is standard), and is secured to itself with zip ties and absolutely zero foam/paper/etc to hold it in place. There is cardboard wrapped around certain areas of the bike to dull hard points, but this obviously won't save it from any kind of drop.

Dangerous Warped Front WheelJun 02, 2010
By Raymond H. Simmons
"born loser"
Bike arrived with Dangerous Warped Front Wheel. Fix it, and add $40.00 to the price. Don't fix it, and crash.Pacific Chromium Men's Dual Suspenstion Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels)

 Ok i guessApr 12, 2011
By MJSTAR502
OK so it was very easy to assemble and its a smooth ride somewhat but, the brakes and handle bars are cheap. Like a lot of the people said, you get what you paid for and that's exactly right because the brakes aren't solid metal, they're hollow and the things u use to press to make the bike some are plastic -_- which means that they break easily. (sorry for not knowing what its called). SO i went to the bike shop and told them that i cant stop because i have the brakes adjusted properly but I'm not getting the proper stopping power. The guy told me that my brakes are cheap and he showed me some of the one of the more expensive bikes and it was way better than mine.( The bike he showed me was a trek) And he said that he was going to replace all of it for $97 n that's including everything , so now i have to get it fixed. but If i knew that i was going to have to spend another almost $100 then i would've bought a more expensive bike. But If you're buying this for exercise and like going to be using it a lot then i wouldn't suggest getting this bike.

 quality issues, weight limit, extra costs to fixJun 02, 2010
By JW
Item arrived in well-enough condition and it comes with reflectors. The good news stops here.
Setup: They do not supply you with the 2 different sized hex tools you need to put the bike together. The squeeze-brakes were installed backwards on the handlebars - luckily I had a hex tool set to fix them. The brakes require adjustment to get them not to touch the wheel in the normal resting position. The kickstand is loaded with gobs of grease that is plainly visible. Inflated tires to recommended pressure.
Ride: What ride? The front tire popped after rolling 2 feet. Very loud bang. I didn't know this when buying, but the tire has a weight limit that states "198 LBS Max Load". Being 200+, I assumed there would be an acceptable amount of tolerance...I assumed incorrectly. I worry that lighter people might also find themselves in a similar bind if they do any kind of spirited biking. I would have liked to have been informed about the tires maximum load weight before buying.
Things I didn't consider when purchasing: The frame shape. Where do I place a water-bottle bracket? There are no pre-drilled holes in the frame, not to mention space, to allow easy installation.
