 Denali Boys bike a Good Value but requires mechanical attentionMay 02, 2008
By Carl E. Kurz
This size bike is hard to find and so you are limited as to what you can reasonably find if you have a 9 year old, like our son, who wants to get out on the road and do some fast miles. The bike came in bad shape and it needed lots of mechanical attention, I'm a professional bike mechanic and founder of Bikes Not Bombs an organization that recycles 5,000 bikes per year to developing countries and works with inner city youth and adults in the Boston area. I knew, by the other reviews, that I was going to have to work on it. I also knew that I was going to retrofit it with a lot of different parts.
So here goes. The frt deraillure was a mess, the spring had come off its tension post and getting it back on required grinding a v notch into an old screw driver; the wheels were very out of true side to side as well as round; as was reviewed by many, the brakes are pretty cheap, however its really the fashion that they are secured by not their quality so much, but I just bought some Tektro dual pivot brakes and drilled the right size hole in the fork brake bolt hole to allow for the recessed allen head bolt of the newer brakes. Unfortunately I still have to get a 90degree angle drill to drill the rear brake bridge. I like the frame and I like the shifters, at my sons age its good to have them high on the tops of the bars. I bent the brake levers inward so he could reach them better they are full adult size which is ridiculous for this sized bike. I put on a used rear deraillure, the stock one is pure junk, finally I ordered 110PSI Wheel chair racing tires and installed them. The rims are drilled for schraeder so I had to get rubber gromets to flesh out the holes for presta valves. The hub cones where very tight as was the Bottom Bracket, so be prepared to adjust them correctly. I will probably rebuild the wheels at some point with better quality hubs. I also replaced the falcon freewheel with a Shimano one, I never trust those falcons, be careful taking them off they require a special tool even though they look identical to the Shimano they aren't. My son loves this bike, but as you can see its a handypersons special. I probably spent $165 on the parts I mentioned and that doesn't include labor to get it dialed in, but even then its a good deal for whats out there. If you have the skills its a good value.

Great value, highly recommended for the 8-14 groupAug 05, 2007
By Scott Braden

This is really the only option for a kid who's outgrown a starter bike and enjoys longer rides. That said, it's a really good option. Got this one for my boy, 11 and the girls version for my 8 year old.
Tip: use Amazon Prime for shipping these... it pays for itself!
Bad:
- you'll need to do some basic adjustments like brakes, check and tighten the various mouting and adjustment bolts etc. This is typical in this price range, same problem you'd have with a walmart bike, but if you're not a bike mechanic it could be a challenge.
- the reach to the handlebars was "ok" for my 11 year old, plus it's a challenge using road style brakes, so I swapped the road racing bars for the upright kind that flare towards you a bit. Also had to switch the brake levers for this. Again, not something most parents could / would / should do but it makes the bike great for my boy.
the good:
- overall, it's a heck of a deal. Good range of gears, easy shifting, smart component choices.
- nice paint job, red and black and not too garish.
- comes with a kickstand! yay!

 Very Pleased!Oct 19, 2007
By Joseph Ketchum
"JOEY"
My wife & I are avid cyclists, so for my son's 9th birthday, we bought him his own road bike! I am very pleased with the bike! I am somewhat of a bike mechanic, so putting it together was very easy, and simple. I did however, have to adjust the brakes, and now they work wonderfully. I also added brake levers on the handle bars (cross inline levers), and that was a great safety net. I also replaced the two tires with 24" x 1" wheel chairs tires, and tubes, and they fit and work wonderfully. All total, I have spent less than $175.00 on his road bike, and We are very pleased with it!

Nice bike for the moneyJan 29, 2007
By P. Flores
I'm a small person at 5'2", so this 24" Denali is perfect for me. I bought the 26" one and liked it, but it was too big, so gave that one to my husband. The bike was easy to assemble, no problems with delivery, very quickly. I like the way the Denali shifting system so u can see what geer your in similar to my mountain bike. It Shifts smoothly rides very nice, this is my first road bike and am very pleased with it!
