First!
Second
I got one of those crank arms, I need to install them
Nice video guys! I bought that same crankset for the wife's G.1 Explorer. They would not fit the mountain bikes I have as the crank arm does not curve out enough top clear the rear chainstay, so be aware of that! But they are so SWEET! Glad to hear Wolfman is recovering, and almost DONE! Happy New Year to all!
You mentioned you do not spend that much time in the seat, however do you have a video comparing budget seats or possibly interested in making that video? Box store seat almost ruins the riding experience for myself. Ledge x1 and x2.
Someone tell me about the boost converters! This converts a 9x100mm wheel to a boost fork? How?
Seat lever dropper posts are awesome! No cables.
Those 5dev clone cranks are nice!! It's crazy 5dev wants $500! I might get the Evosid in black. Great patreons y'all have!!
Curious what you think of the Evosid crank?
Man the tick doesn’t shop around much when it comes to droppers!!! 😂
I’ve been eyeing this cranks up, they’re a copy of the 5dev cranks… much more budget be interested what you think of them.
Brakes…. Hmmmm Clarks M4 look good on amazon in the uk atm, maybe same in the US?
I have this dropper. Just installed it. The lever is so so, but it works. The post itself is great. Almost zero play, and quick action. Just as good as my way more expensive PNW post.
Oh no! Did you not get the rest of the gift I sent?
19:04–19:18. 20:48. Dad's concerns well founded. lol
My i900 dropper lasted about a year
really wish i could have you guys to show me what type of head tube adapter and wheel i should get for my bike, dang it! already have the fork picked out (tapered fork). love these videos though
You guys are going to need a new wheel to run on that through axle fork you bought. The stock OTR wheel is quick release skewer not through axle. You can convert a through axle wheel to QR but not vice versa. The adapter you bought is to convert a 15×100 (non boost) through axle to a 15×110 boost through axle.
Them 165mm cranks look stunning very good cant wait to see how you get on with them ❤
Ladies, save yourself the money in the long term and get a PNW Loam.
When you have it all built do we get a cat's meow ride❤
Budget Brakes are easy, MT200. Prices are way down on those. I think Kevin H and Berzerker are coordinating.
Since you are talking budget MT200 brakes are a no brainer. Prices are way down on those.
That coincidence of Kevin H and Berserker sending the same items was weird. The only thing missing was some Twilight Zone music in the background.
I have a pnw suspension dropper on my GT. The suspension component was awkward at first but I got used to it quickly. I recommend one especially for a hard tail.
The whole family watched and yes we were laughing during mail time! Lil Squatch smiled for sure. The bottom bracket tool looked beefy.
If I was a betting man I'd say berserker sent the same crank set too 😂
Guys exaform is made by ks. Happy new year. I like the relaxed blog style format. I actually over torqued my fatbike dropper and never even thought about it being the reason my dropper is slow since switching it from my hardtail for winter. I even re-lubed it and then cranked her back down again without it crossing my mind. So thanks for the psa Jeremiah.
I picked up those Evosid cranks have them on my Rail and my son's Diamondback. They've been awesome.
Satori Sorata Pro Dropper Post 31.6mm x 485mm x 150mm , i got one and it works great aliexpress
Clarks mechanical breaks are good but shimano mt200 for the win if price is right
Mentioning groupsets, 365cycles has listed a Microshift upgrade specifically for the Ridge on Walmart's web site. It's a 10 speed cassette, derailleur, shifter, and chain for $142. Worth it?
Jg bike is legit I got a dropper for Gt aggressor pro back that came with remote and for another build I used there 1x crankset and stem and handle bars the price looks stretchy but I’ve used there stuff it’s good for the price
Glad to hear you are on the mend Wolfman. I enjoy both of your channels. Mail time was particularly good this episode 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧
I really enjoy these videos guys. I myself ride high end bikes but love how you guys show that it don’t matter what you ride just ride. So much good content for these budget bikes. Shows people it’s all upgradable. I’m not part of your patreon but would like to send you guys some parts from my parts bin. I have a lot of really good take off parts and parts that didn’t really work well for me. I would love to see you guys put it to use on your channel. Let me know how I can do this.
Suspension seat posts are a blessing on a street bike, they are very forgiving and they work very well; just don't buy the cheap ones.
I only use Wittkop Medicus Air saddles ( the Trekking model ) they are my default bike seats.
