Mango Point R
Received my Mango Point R just after Christmas and should say seems to be a very nice bike for the money. However, the set up on the bike I received was poor (headset really tight, gears poorly set up and the spokes on the front wheel worked loose within a few rides, perhaps should have gone for the upgrade set..). Disagreed with them about what constitutes good customer service to try to resolve these issues and am about to put bike into local bike shop (shouldn't have to on a new bike!) for a service and check (which they will pay for).....I am sure that this is a one off but curious about others experiences...

Interesting to read your experience; mine is very similar. I got my Point R early in the new year. It's comfortable and easy bike to ride - I use it for commuting and for 2-3 hour rides at the weekends, and overall, I like it. But it's given me stupid, annoying problems. Like you, spokes have come lose - on back and front wheels; the gears have quicky needed adjustment; and the bolt into the bottom bracket was screwed on incredibly tightly. A local shop managed undo it, to sort out a creaking noise coming from the bottom bracket. It no longer creaks, but since then neither they or I have been able to get the bolt done up tight enough so that it doesn't come undone after 50-100km. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
