Just came home from a ride along my son & wife. His Coop Rev 20+ does great š
He -perhaps because he is a 5yo - could not get used to the twist shift 6 speed, so I've swapped it to a trigger shift 7 speed (could not find the 6 speed in a price that made sense) and a megarange 7 speed freewheel (was like $35 total).OEM shimano RD works fine on the new setup.
Otherwise the bike does good. You need to run low pressure to make the most of the grip...it is 2.6in tires for a 45-50lb rider after all...we are talking low teens in PSI, even with tubes.
Only upgrade I think is needed, are pedals...those are included are the typ. stamp steel cheap pedals that are pretty slippery. looking at some plastic MTB pedals.
Good quality bike, especially discounted.
We got our Rev20+ end of April 2022, same price.
The cool thing to do is wax poetic about "modern" geometry. For 99% of the families out there that aren't going down black diamonds, it's overrated.

Anyone know the frequency of their bike sales? My kid has a spring birthday and were planning on a new bike but can buy now and hide it until then if it won't go on sale again. Thanks!
Anyone know if they have a greater selection of colors in-store? This 20" looks good but my daughter likes bright and colorful stuff. The blue looks fine but she'd prefer something else.

Do you have a link to the trigger shift? my daughter doesnt love the grip shift on her bike.

Edit: nvm I'm apparently blind.
I had a tourney derailer on a half bike that literally fell apart going down the road.
Replaced it with a used STX from a used bike shop for about $5.
The Altus m315 trigger shifter work great, and cost less than $20 new.

Shimano Altus SL-M315 7R for the shifter &
TZ500 14-34T freewheel.
I didn't find any proper trigger 6s for kid fingers

Good point, is 26lb considered heavy for a 24"?
Thank you! I'll wait and hope for a spring sale then ā¦ thanks!
