Men's Apollo Phaze mountain
We bought a men's Apollo Phaze mountain bike for our 12 year old in August 2024. He uses this approximately 90% for the school commute and 10% for a what you would think the bike was made for, albeit in the local park and not on any mountain. He has had it for just over 10 months, but only had about 9 month use out of it for various reasons. Last week a small part of the brake came loose and won't screw back in as the thread is worn. This is not a part that moves, so no wear should be expected. Just went to our local Halfords to be told that the bike needs £183 in repair and maintenance! We paid a £160 less than a year ago. Warranty was refused as it was wear and tear according to Halfords. Even the part that should not be moving! If this bike can't be used as our son uses it without this amount of repair with 9 months use than it is not fit for purpose. Avoid like the plague unless you only want to look at it.
