I've been out of the loop for about a year now. But a lot of kids' Treks were coming in with tight chains, hubs, headsets, and bottom brackets. I always took the time to set them right.
And, come to think of it, my daughter's second bike was a Walmart return, a 20" Next. I think it came back with a flat tire. Now she has an Emonda S that she can't ride because she lives in Georgia.
