#wolfticknation you guys are the real MVP Fantastic mail time I can’t wait for the installation and real-time review on the Shimano breaks and he had a #wolfticknation shirt for every occasion 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 . That Fanny pack and water bottle combo was DOPE 🔥🔥🔥. Now that dropper something about taking my hands off the bars to lower the seat or maybe I’m overthinking it, I can’t wait for the real time review. Guys can’t wait for the next one 💪🏾❤️💯
Delium tires have a good tread pattern and easy to understand casing options. Inexpensive tires but they are heavy.
you can finally say you got a wireless dropper for less
The slx brakes are nice. I have the XTs on my Santa Cruz.
For water. You gotta get a bunch of Fidlock mounts and you can get adapters and use any bottle on them. The absolute best system

What do you think on the giant talon 4
I see gravel riders where I live sticking those droppers on their rigs. I'm curious to see how it does on a mountain bike.
Once the dropper is installed, I really prefer the bolted clamps. Makes it harder for clowns to crawl out of the sewers and scuttle away with my seat and dropper.
A dropper post that doesn't require the courtesy of a reach around, nice.
First you can't stop grabbing your lever then you go grabbing your package;)
Cool dropper. Especially for someone like me without internal routing. I'm not sure about using the lever on the fly the way you ride but for someone like me (going slower and not needing immediate reaction time) it's pretty good placement, even if a little socially embarrassing.
You guys definitely got tired in that mailtime. (OK if you groan at that one;)
Embrace the CamelBak. If you don't like bottles they are the king of hydration packs too. Awesome company and love their moto from way back: hydrate or die.
I don't know about that dropper post, either way it's going to look like you're digging at your underwear when reaching for the lever. Awesome mailtime, the oil slick parts would look awesome on the Marin. Keep shredding 🤙
You guys made out like bandits on the mail time. I like that water bottle fanny pack! I don’t have a water bottle cage on my bike, I typically use a sling bag for that. But the fanny pack is sweet! Have a great weekend!
Great video tonight guys….you can’t have too many tires and you can’t have too many packages either😀😀👍👍
I have an X-Fusion Manic dropper 150 mm infinite travel cable actuated post on my Stumpjumper…. LOVE DROPPERS!
I'm glad you guys put it in the correct direction. You don't wanna be reaching back like a pimp. People will just think you have an itchy bunghole. It's better to do crotch grabs.
Good to see the sun shining again on the Wolfman.
Slappin' Chains n Takin' Names! 🤘😎
Gotta do the REACH AROUND on that dropper buddy! Just like in Prison
Nice video my friend, keep up the Great Work!!!🔥🔥
Dude, so so many comments I had, just gonna keep them to myself, lol
Nice slx brakes, I want someof those
Y'know… it wouldn't take much to put a morse cable under the seat and make that TranzX both lever AND remote capable. clamp the cable end on the front rails of the seat and throw a small lever on the bar like a ZTTO with the less friction wheel design. Just drill the lever with a cable size hole right through.. and a cable end size drill from the bottom half way through if you want to keep it tidy.
What I want… is a double stage dropper so I can get 150mm travel out of a 180mm frame tube with max height of the top slider of 370mm… I need to do some drawing…
(currently I've got a Zoom Tequila that seems to be the best choice for 100mm travel while having the shortest body…. (I've got a Giant Faith 2010 and the Zoom dropper is bottomed out on the linkage bolt…)
I yelled from the other room the lever goes in the back , why would it not!! Then the correct way was front , I told j why is my brain still thinking it goes in the back & it’s irritating me ! He said bc your brain 🧠 thinks like his does! My brain is accepting it slowly !
The seat post is cool that’s something we can sell in the bike shop . There are so many that need one but don’t want to pay 300 plus an install . A lot of bikes won’t accept internal routed droppers so this is perfect for bikes under 1,000.. it will be an epic add on just like a seat with a hole in the middle. We work off commission and If we sell 3 accessories we get 3 bucks , 5 accessories 5 bucks . This reminds me I gotta add those up it’s been since September.
You guys have so much great content, some of it is very funny and charming, but most of all everything comes across as deeply honest, from the way you interact with each other, the learning curve you are going through and the reviews of these budget products. You’ve inspired me to build up my own trail hardtail in as much a Wolftick style as possible. Hopefully it will all work out ok 👌. When I’m done I must send you guys some goodies to play with.
Why not an externally actuated post instead of under saddle lever? There are plenty out there. Taking hand under saddle is awkward. For a dir tjump build it might make sense, but on a regular bike I would have one with a remote.
13:31 Jagwire has excellent wires and cables.
The cheap wires do well but not as slick, but the Pro wire is slick, and does not have a silly bad coating as Shimano XTR has, that's so bad it performs worse than any cheapnwire as the coating adds friction once it wears and it wears out in first ride.
I have used the brake housing and wire too. They performed well.
So they get the seal of approval from me.
15:14 the new SLX brakes have bad rep now, due to the lever blade snapping easily.
16:00 I think bottles should have a cover to avoid poop, dirt on the mouth peice.
If using bottle make sure to have a good cage, I had cages bend out and bottle shoot out on a downhill. I bent it back. But I no longer use bottles on my bike.
Very good upload
I saw that dropper on Amazon. Don't think I want to let go of the handlebars to release each time its used. Im in the market for a budget dropper but haven't pulled the trigger yet. What's your recommendation?
Haha! Lever, whatever. Yeah you were holding something! Anyway, it comes in 27.5mm post diameter, this could be perfect for one of my rides.
Shimano SLX brakes work very well! I have a set of SLX 2 piston disc brakes, probably an older generation, but they work great!
I like that dropper. Been wanting one for my gravel bike and it doesn't have internal routing, and really didn't want to run another cable anyways. Might be good option for me!
Yeah I totally agree with you in regards to this lever style dropper. I messaged you a while ago about this style dropper. The one I have is the KS EXA Form Speed up dropper.
It a very easy install, but take getting used to have to reach between your legs while riding.
It will work as long as your familiar with the trail an know when you'll need to drop your saddle like the cats meow.
Yeah they much uncomfortable to use and mine quit working in less than a year! ..
What we really all want to know: Will this fit the 20” ozone 500 kids bike???
Hahaha, I’m probably the only one actually. Whatever happened to it?
Too bad they don't make them on 31.6.
