Hi tomorrow I'm going to take my Schwinn Phantom beach cruiser bicycle to the bike shop to make a repair & have been going to that shop store for 3 yrs now with no problems until now. Ok here is the problem, I've been having this bike for almost 2 yrs now & yes I ride it everyday. Every time when I ride my bike, the bike chain it keeps falling out every 3 minutes. Some say that it could be the chain but dude the chain is only 4 months old OR it could be the back rim. I called the bike shop & the owner who fixes the bicycles, he told me that he believes is the bike rim that need to be replace to a new rim. He also said that's why the chain it keeps falling out because the back rim could be damage & I told him that the back rim is not wobbling. He could fix it for me to add the back rim for $54 but is not that I don't trust him......well I don't trust nobody but I think he's ripping me off a little I don't know. I'm buying a car in end of July but as for right now, I need a bicycle. Do you think is a fair dea or should I take it somewhere else? Thank you.
P.S. I have TWO Schwinn Phantom beach cruiser bikes & believe it or not, both of them have the same problem. I think is because is made in China.
