  2. I have a 2020 GT Agressor Comp. 29er medium frame in orange. the comp and pro were similar, but came with different components. AND BTW I love you two as a pair! Wolfman, you resonate with my soul buddy! An tick, you make me smile! Great video boys

  4. I bought a GT aggressor pro because of your videos. I so far have upgraded to the microshift Acolyte 12-46T, Shimano Deore crankset with a 30t chainring, Shimano BB, CST patrol tires, Shimano MT 200 calipers,Shimano XT brake levers, 180 mm brake rotors, RaceFace Chester 50mm stem, RaceFace ride handlebars with 1” rise, cane creek 40 headset, RaceFace half Nelson grips, and Supercaz krypto pedals. It’s really a fantastic bike to tinker with!

  5. FYI, the 8 speed version of that L-TWOO derailleur comes with the new Schwinn Taff Comp that’s currently $124 at Walmart, replacing the crappy Pro Rush unit. It’s model T8S with an effective switchblade clutch. I replaced the rear wheel and used an Acolyte 12-46t cassette with it. Works incredibly smoothly, just needed a b-screw adjustment and even had plenty of chain with the larger cassette.

    The bike is on clearance and goes in and out of stock. At 5’9”, it fit me perfectly, more like a medium Axum.

  6. Lol! The chain looks a touch short when on the big sprocket but that was a smooth swap out, as it should be!

    Tick you’re definitely more knowledgeable on the derailleur side of things these days! Every day is a school day man!

    I’m looking forward to seeing you guys messing with the internals of a fork for the first time! Biggest tip when doing this = cleanliness!!!

  7. I bought an 11-50 cassette for my Diamondback, similar type drivetrain & used a mech hanger extension which gave me the extra lift to get over the 40t using a fairly standard rear mech. Even on the smaller 11-40 I did run the extension made the shifts smoother.

  8. Still waiting for you guys to review an avalanche. They were recently on sale for under 600.00.
    And the avalanche has much better geometry than the aggressor. Tapered headset more slack and will be much better in technical and downhill. Thanks guys love your videos!!❀😁😁
