💙Well thanks brother:) Thats very nice of you and we are not for everybody, but the ones that are we fee a true connection. Very cool comment and hopefully we can be there oneday.....
Hey thanks so much. Sending that groupset was such a nice thing, and it got here at the perfect time haha. Jeremiah will be on here later to thank you I'm sure.
I will have Jeremiah look, but I do know he figured out some stuff on this groupset since this video. Thanks for the advice, and consistent participation on our channel.👍
I want to see a gt aggressor pro high end build like what you have learned up to this point and where you should really put you money type of thing like hey u can go cheaper on the cassette so u can get a better fork type of build
Is there a tension screw on the shifter end? Usually when there isn't one on the derailleur, they'll put it where the cable exits the shifter housing. Glad you like the decals. The small red ones are for your bike. I sent an email with some pics of mine and where I put them.
They are cool aren't they. I remember when the GT Performer, Haro, Redline, Diamondback, and Mongoose BMX style bikes were what all the kids wanted. Thanks Buddy
Well it is when that's all you can afford, that's for sure. It makes more sense to buy something and enjoy it while you do incremental and affordable upgrades, rather than having to take out a loan on a over priced bike, don't you think?
Hey thanks man we think for under 1000 with the bike purchase included is a very good start:) Most of the money is in the forks but not bad with the headset and hydraulic brakes:)
Dude I have the jamis durango and that is basically like the gt build. I just need a group set and a fork. Any suggestions for the fork? I am 17 6'2" 200 pounds and looking for something durable.
Well I would look at some forks that are no bigger then a 20mm more travel then what you r bike comes with. The Lutus are tough but they are 120mm and would be too much slack im afraid, maybe a fork with 100mm? Bolany sells some pretty budget stuff and I hear they are good, bu havent tried them yet? Maybe otta look there man
Hey Jaguar they produce cable houses they produce a cable adjuster the pits in place of the cable housing you cut the cable housing in half and you put the adjuster in between I got them on my road bike because I have no cable adjusters on the frame
Oh snap! A Wolftick video! Looking forward to a review of those XKing tires. And I might buy that groupset until I can afford better just for the extra range... that'd be awesome if it works good. F*** YEAH I wanna see a new GT aggressor build... (or a GT Avalanche?)
Your build has me wish I had the cash to catch up with you. Mine is still stock out the box with various issues that I never encountered on other bike I have bought big box. The free wheel gear set broke so I only have one hard gear to pedal crank stripped out so only one pedal,but hey I still love my bike and will work towards getting it on point as the one you have. Great vid keep it up I definitely will be watching.
Dang! And we thought that we got a bad one😜. Well hopefully you can just do a little here and there, and make something fun to ride out of it. Good luck man, and please keep us updated on your progress.
I just recently swapped my box Two with a box four on both my bikes and it was a nightmare setting them both back up, but now I'm super experienced with them lol. It looks like your chain is one link too short
Man I bet that was a nightmare. Actually we are going to try and run the chain as short as possible, since we do quite a bit of downhill. Hopefully the sizing works and we won't have to lengthen it any, but we will see.
Great video as always guys, really brightened up my day 😁 Have to say, it's videos like your that have inspired me to get back out on my mountain bike, so far I'm loving it. Waiting for some parts to arrive from China, which is taking forever but really looking forward to some upgrades on my trusty specialized Keep the videos coming, they never fail to make me laugh 👍
I heard the they ended the gt aggressor pro branding and changed it to something else for the modern gt aggressor s. There are also vendors that sell just their frames. Wondering if with all the parts you have lying around you could buy just a half decent frame (like a gt sensor or something) and build the rest of the bike from parts you got lying around.
I have yet seen a rear derailleur without a barrel adjustor, a bit odd. It does looks like there is one on the shifter, so it's still workable. I am just wondering how well it will perform, especially without a clutch. And also what are the internals of the shifter are made of.
You and us both, or trith I guess😂. Not sure about any internals, but for the money it doesn't feel bad. Watch for the real time review in a week or two. Thanks man.
Prices have really gone up on bike parts. The Zoom brakes were $43, now $59, not including a 180mm adapter. The A7 LT Woo 10 speed groupset was $51 and is $66 for the 11-46T.
I actually thought of buying a new aggressor myself and doing my upgrades a little different this time, would love to see a new video or series on that. Also would like to see a chain tension video. Does a chain that’s too long cause random shifting up and down a cog while riding?
The new GT would be awesome and appreciate the votes man:) Chain video hopefully will get some more votes:):) And yes a chain that is too long will def jumo around on ya. Thanks for voting man and hope we can get all going soon;)
Thats hilarious man, I watched it back and laughed as well, I had to leave that portion in there, I was hoping people would catch it:) Later Poe, you ever email me??
Love the vid that new tag looks so good cant wait to see the real time review and about that new gt. The new 2021 look great but have u thought about a different brand like maybe a trek marlin or a giant talon Or a different brand but still around the same price
We have thought of lots of different bikes. It will probably be a while until we do a bike shop bike due to cost and availability. Those bikes you mentioned start at about $800 and go up from there. This whole build we just did cost $902 including the bike. We will have done about 10 videos on it before we are done with building and reviewing it. However we will note that you would like to see a Trek or Giant at some point, so we will keep that in mind. Thanks guys.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS yeah thanks man and good new a vid is going up in about three hours but I need to know what editing software do y’all use cause we need a new one
HA HA damn editing sucks!! We use an I mac to edit on and what apple sets it up with ha ha so unless you got an I mac man you are out of luck:( but we just watched it a while ago and added it to #WOLFTICKNATION
you guys have iron will. I doubt I'd be able to wait few days to open the mail. but those GT logo stickers are great. I have same old school logos with wings on my GT Avalanche. it is really nice blend of old school and awesome. I hate when cables are exposed like those on Taff. have partially same thing on my GT. thinking to remove it, go full cable housing and just use zip ties to tie the cable housing to the frame. less dirt and other crap on cables, which in theory should lead to better shifting and less of maintenance. and next time my hair ends up in someone's meal, I'll just say its good for theirs immunity :D and great video, btw :)
😂Sometimes it is extremely hard haha. Thanks man. PS Jeremiah told me that you are one of his favorite commenters, thought you might like to hear that😁.
Heck man, we have changed everything on that bike and then even changed some stuff back🤣. Here is the complete GT playlist. Check it out👍 th-cam.com/play/PL38o4hPoo4C7VX2R19Hsl2liG0aK2Ph9m.html

Ebay as well, you may want to check out the videos and the descriptions, they have the links to most of the parts list and for what I got them for when I did, but if you ever need some help man, just holler:)
Ur able to run a sram eagle nx/sx 12 speed and sram nx 11 on that hub if it is the old school shimano type hub. Looking to upgrade my rear shifter just a 8 speed shifter and a 10 speed casette. 🤯 prew.. owner did a mcgruber. might get the sram or just go lwooho and save $. New continental trail king did ok on todays 36 km up and downhill.
Dude just get the LTWOO, you wont have luck with an 8spd shifter and a 10spd cassette, been there done that.....no good!!! Wont shift brother man:( Thanks for letting us know on the tires:)
Would you guys try to build a aggressive hardtail frame with budget parts? I think you'd make a sick hardtail that way. You can probably get your hands on a good slack aggressive geo frame that would fit your riding alot better
I would like to get that done for sure man, I was really happy with the Taff build and thought it was a blast. Checked out those frames and they are very cool looking, want to do a jumper and may hit you up for suggestions ha ha, thanks AeroPrixma!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS oh man that dirt jumper would be a awesome build. Huffy scout frame would be a great start haha. I’ve built a few budget DJ pretty fun!
How many links did you cut off th chain to make it fit. Did you use the extender. I can't get the LT WOO 10 Derailleur on the Schwinn Ascension. I used the extender and the grooves seems to not fit.. it extension isn't going under the cassette for the last gear.
Used the extender yes, checkout our chain measuring video, I use that method for everything. You may need to screw in the top screw on the derailleur to get it to fully clear the biggest cog, that or resize it using our method.Sounds like the chain is too short
so far only the cheap rear derailleurs have a barrel adjuster, beginners need all the adjustment they can, I guess is the thinking behind it. cus you don't need that much adjustment the shifter already has enough, and when that's not enough just turn barrel adjuster in and pull wire and tighten it, and fine tune it again. you should look into maintenance and components some more. or get enough sleep next time.
Yeah I prefer two, why not??? Doesnt make any sense to me, why not have another option to tune instead of short cutting, but its all good. No big deal:) and yes sleep!!!
Love the videos on the taff. quick question. Does your rear wheel/tire sit more to the brake side than cassettes side. Or is my taff tweaked somehow? I have more room on cassette side buy about 3/16” 🤔 I’ve looked at all sorts of possibilities
Hey brother, the Taff's rear tire is completely centered with my frame??? But if I were you I would take my rear wheel off and make sure, the spacers are on the outside of the frame on both sides of the axel, you should have two, one on each side, maybe one is missing or one is on the inside of the frame and one is on the outside.Good luck man and keep me updated:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS so I didn’t see any sort of spacers. I had a bike shop change the rear wheel to a cassette style when I first got it and they put a quick release on it as well. After much consideration and eyeballing I used some persuasion and a 2x4 to align the rear of the frame. With the tire off you could clearly see the cassette side of frame was pushed in. All better now. Idk who puts these bikes together but they need to find another profession. Lol. Next upgrade is brakes or BB.
Well we just got the fork in for the stage #2 upgrades. We had to borrow the crankset off the bike, but we hopefully have that taken care of now. We are now debating rather or not to upgrade the freewheel or to maybe wait and upgrade the whole drivetrain. It shifts good now so we might just do the fork haha. Decisions, decisions 🤔
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I am debating putting a RockShox Judy Silver TK on mine but I'm on the fence lol as well as upgrading the stem and handle bars as you have
Man the Taff is super similar, but if that's not good enough for you then maybe sometime next spring. Remind me sometime in February and we might be able to do something. Thanks man
Ive been mia for a bit and now i see the upgrades! Gotta say, its looking nice. Question though, did you have to change the hub to use the 10 speed group set?
Actually brother if you watch the WTB Wheelset and TAFF teardown vid, I talk about the having to change the wheelset in order to get a cassette, so no. But Imma let this one slide;) glad you are back!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS thanks brother. Yeah, work has been really busy and i finally get to take a breather, and i was like whoa, "The Taff is looking sweet"..I'll go back and watch what ive missed.
Hey brother, if you are asking from a learning standpoint then you can watch our MTB cutting your chain video? It's a more of a how to, or are you asking to maybe explain why that may have been an issue? Thanks man!
HA HA I was waiting for you to see that!! LOL Love it, thanks man and cant wait to take the bike for a spin!!! She is going to be awesome and a very big thrill, hope everything stays together lol
We can't run tubeless on the GT or Taff because we do tire reviews and have to take off and put on tires often, and sometimes in a hurry. Maybe on the Fragment or Sandstorm though.
Yeah man its been an on going thing for a while now, going tubeless is just more expensive and not only that but gotta find a cheaper wheelset as well. And I know you can make them tubeless but we would like to keep things legit and not too taped together LOL:) Thanks man
My 300$ bike actually came with ltwoo a7 3x10 drivetrain and it’s doing fine after 1200+km of casual riding. Not sure about trails tho. Would be interesting
Hey man thanks for letting us know about your experience with that drivetrain. We are like you, interested to find out how it will perform out on the trails. We should have a real time review video out in a week or two.
Hey brother got a chance to check em out!!! They seem similar but the analog has a better drivetrain and the x caliber has a better geometry overall and has an air fork as opposed to a coil?? Pretty tough man pretty tough? I would buy the excaliber!!!! Let me know but that fork being what it is, is a top selling point for me.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS i want to upgrade my analog with a recon but it does not have a tapered headtube and i can not find one!! The attention already has one but f this i love my bike so much 😕
Why not try doing a frame build with one of the Chinese frames ....do you know that lutu and Jessica both make frames ..I would like to see one of those get built and reviewed as I haven't seen on on TH-cam yet .
HA HA!!! Tats hilarious you must be old too😂😂😂😂 Thanks brother and glad to have a scott for a friend. appreciate you watching some American Walloper's!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I am from Scotland and enjoy watching all your videos and the banter between you and your father is funny he seems to be a great guy ..and he is 100% correct the tortoise won the race ..I also have a gt aggressor but it is an older xc3 which I have a few upgrades on also .
Oh damn man thats not gonna happen!!!! Your a military man you should know all about eating other peoples "hair burgers" LOL!!! and NO on the mail forwarding ha ha, but be sure and watch Fridays video!!! You are gonna be jealous my man:) NEW 29erFORKS!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Nobody had hair lol. I went ahead and ordered the deore BL-6100 BR-6120 brakes for my bike😁😁😁 maybe when we get back from Philly and yaw come down we can put em on.. At least now my big a$$ will be able to stop😂
LOL😂😂😂 Oh and nice when it comes to the brakes man!!We looked but dude, they have gotten outrageous!!! Will def help in the putting on department, that will make for a good opener/vid!!!:) Dint do it without me if you can hold on:) Later man!!! Very funny
Barrel adjuster is on the shifter and you also need to adjust the B-screw to the correct settings so that it will shift properly to the biggest cog. Also check the L limiter if needs adjustment.
Thanks man, and will do. I like for derailleurs to have a little barrel adjuster as well but I guess I just got used to the more budget style😬😬 but thanks for the I put man!
There is a tension screw on the shifter itself, then you can fine tune and adjust properly the shifting. And also there is another TH-camr who installed this same shifter and from AliExpress and had better results. th-cam.com/video/1kKIMijuEiU/w-d-xo.html
I love your intros, it like watching an old 70's TV show like the original "Odd Couple"....🤣
😂😂😂Thanks man thats a great comment, we hope the "odd couple" thing continues for a long long time!!!LOL Thanks John

May be getting something soon!!!!!!:)
the adjuster barrel of the groupset is on the shifter you can adjust it there of you want.
Hey brother, I know but I do prefer two:) I am a total diva ha ha ha thanks Shadow
Honestly putting better parts on bad bikes is so much better then buying a good bike
Maybe maybe not, but its definitely more fun!
Well it is when that's all you can afford, that's for sure. It makes more sense to buy something and enjoy it while you do incremental and affordable upgrades, rather than having to take out a loan on a over priced bike, don't you think?

HA HA damn editing sucks!! We use an I mac to edit on and what apple sets it up with ha ha so unless you got an I mac man you are out of luck:( but we just watched it a while ago and added it to #WOLFTICKNATION
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS alright man and no I don’t have a Mac but thanks and yes editing sucks
you guys have iron will. I doubt I'd be able to wait few days to open the mail. but those GT logo stickers are great. I have same old school logos with wings on my GT Avalanche. it is really nice blend of old school and awesome. I hate when cables are exposed like those on Taff. have partially same thing on my GT. thinking to remove it, go full cable housing and just use zip ties to tie the cable housing to the frame. less dirt and other crap on cables, which in theory should lead to better shifting and less of maintenance. and next time my hair ends up in someone's meal, I'll just say its good for theirs immunity :D and great video, btw :)
😂Sometimes it is extremely hard haha. Thanks man. PS Jeremiah told me that you are one of his favorite commenters, thought you might like to hear that😁.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS wow. that is really nice to hear. cheers guys!
CHEERS:)
Hey man was wondering if you ever changed the cassette and derailer and stuff on the gt?!👀 thanks man
Heck man, we have changed everything on that bike and then even changed some stuff back🤣. Here is the complete GT playlist. Check it out👍

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS thanks for the info where did u get the cassette crank set up
Ebay as well, you may want to check out the videos and the descriptions, they have the links to most of the parts list and for what I got them for when I did, but if you ever need some help man, just holler:)
You should see if those 29's will fill on the GT?
Already tried man:( The front wont for sure it hits the fork, but back rubs:( way ahead of you ah aha, maybe some different tires?
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS you see that other TH-cam who put 29's on his GT aggressor Pro
yeah I saw that, looked pretty cool😎
Ur able to run a sram eagle nx/sx 12 speed and sram nx 11 on that hub if it is the old school shimano type hub. Looking to upgrade my rear shifter just a 8 speed shifter and a 10 speed casette. 🤯 prew.. owner did a mcgruber. might get the sram or just go lwooho and save $. New continental trail king did ok on todays 36 km up and downhill.
Dude just get the LTWOO, you wont have luck with an 8spd shifter and a 10spd cassette, been there done that.....no good!!! Wont shift brother man:( Thanks for letting us know on the tires:)
Would you guys try to build a aggressive hardtail frame with budget parts? I think you'd make a sick hardtail that way. You can probably get your hands on a good slack aggressive geo frame that would fit your riding alot better
I would like to get that done for sure man, I was really happy with the Taff build and thought it was a blast. Checked out those frames and they are very cool looking, want to do a jumper and may hit you up for suggestions ha ha, thanks AeroPrixma!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS oh man that dirt jumper would be a awesome build. Huffy scout frame would be a great start haha. I’ve built a few budget DJ pretty fun!
Man! hey brother can you email me?
How many links did you cut off th chain to make it fit. Did you use the extender. I can't get the LT WOO 10 Derailleur on the Schwinn Ascension. I used the extender and the grooves seems to not fit.. it extension isn't going under the cassette for the last gear.
Used the extender yes, checkout our chain measuring video, I use that method for everything. You may need to screw in the top screw on the derailleur to get it to fully clear the biggest cog, that or resize it using our method.Sounds like the chain is too short
When is the GT upgrade coming up
Not sure on any one item yet, hopefully a new fork if we can get one:) gotta keep saving up on the coffee money!!!
You guys should get a new GT aggressor pro and put a Judy on it! That would be awesome
Thanks for the response to the question. I would love to do just that, so we will see.
so far only the cheap rear derailleurs have a barrel adjuster, beginners need all the adjustment they can, I guess is the thinking behind it. cus you don't need that much adjustment the shifter already has enough, and when that's not enough just turn barrel adjuster in and pull wire and tighten it, and fine tune it again.
you should look into maintenance and components some more. or get enough sleep next time.
Yeah I prefer two, why not??? Doesnt make any sense to me, why not have another option to tune instead of short cutting, but its all good. No big deal:) and yes sleep!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS a barrel adjuster there means one extra part that can fail. So da ri haven't needed it.
also one extra part that can help dial it in:)

I think I'm into my Boundary about $815. But I love seeing parts on a $6,000 bike that are on my Walmart bike 😂😂😂
Dude it is so fulfilling!!! I am with you there brother:) Thanks for watching man and cant wait to take her out.
where did you get the adapter for the derailleur?
Hey man it came with the derailleur, checkout the Taff ZOOM brakes video and you can see what it all comes with:)
What is the chainring size you are using with LTWOO Group Set?
32 T I believe, you can see the install on the Ganhopper crankset:)
Hey brother what wheelset did you use on the taff project
They are WTB sx19 Check this video out: th-cam.com/video/IMRgk_ZQop0/w-d-xo.html
Hi, will the cassette fit stock wheelset that came with the schwinn? Or do i need to upgrade the wheelset as well?
Hey brother you will need either a freehub rear rim or a new wheelset completely:( The stock Taff is a freewheel and cannot take a cassette.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS thanks bro! This helps a ton
Micro-Adjustment should be at the shifter
Yeah man but I prefer two:) I guess im just a diva ha ha, hey brother can you email me? thanks Alex
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS done
Love the videos on the taff. quick question. Does your rear wheel/tire sit more to the brake side than cassettes side. Or is my taff tweaked somehow? I have more room on cassette side buy about 3/16” 🤔 I’ve looked at all sorts of possibilities
Hey brother, the Taff's rear tire is completely centered with my frame??? But if I were you I would take my rear wheel off and make sure, the spacers are on the outside of the frame on both sides of the axel, you should have two, one on each side, maybe one is missing or one is on the inside of the frame and one is on the outside.Good luck man and keep me updated:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS so I didn’t see any sort of spacers. I had a bike shop change the rear wheel to a cassette style when I first got it and they put a quick release on it as well. After much consideration and eyeballing I used some persuasion and a 2x4 to align the rear of the frame. With the tire off you could clearly see the cassette side of frame was pushed in. All better now. Idk who puts these bikes together but they need to find another profession. Lol. Next upgrade is brakes or BB.
Dude well I have done the 2X4 thing before but not on my frameLOL Glad its all better man and hope you arent going to be all unbalanced not lol
I’m sorry we have not posted we will very so
You don't have to be sorry. Either you do or you don't, as long as you are part of the #wolfticknation 😉👍. Thanks guys.
How is the Ozone 500 Fragment 29er doing?
Well we just got the fork in for the stage #2 upgrades. We had to borrow the crankset off the bike, but we hopefully have that taken care of now. We are now debating rather or not to upgrade the freewheel or to maybe wait and upgrade the whole drivetrain. It shifts good now so we might just do the fork haha. Decisions, decisions 🤔
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I am debating putting a RockShox Judy Silver TK on mine but I'm on the fence lol as well as upgrading the stem and handle bars as you have
I would sat handlebars and stem first, then save up get used to the new setup, then my friend go to a sealed bearing headset and new fork!!!:):):)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS thank you for the advice!
Can you do a 2020 boundary?
Man the Taff is super similar, but if that's not good enough for you then maybe sometime next spring. Remind me sometime in February and we might be able to do something. Thanks man
the intros crack me up everytime lol
🤣Sometimes when we watch one of our older videos, the intro cracks us up too.🤣 Thanks man!👍
Ive been mia for a bit and now i see the upgrades! Gotta say, its looking nice. Question though, did you have to change the hub to use the 10 speed group set?
Actually brother if you watch the WTB Wheelset and TAFF teardown vid, I talk about the having to change the wheelset in order to get a cassette, so no. But Imma let this one slide;) glad you are back!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS thanks brother. Yeah, work has been really busy and i finally get to take a breather, and i was like whoa, "The Taff is looking sweet"..I'll go back and watch what ive missed.
Thanks Brian and thanks for being BACK!!:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS thank you for the entertaining vids of you and your pop. As well as thr bike upgrades. Keep em coming.
I want a 2nd Gt aggressor pro
I keep telling Jeremiah the same thing.👍
How many links did u cut off?
Hey brother, if you are asking from a learning standpoint then you can watch our MTB cutting your chain video? It's a more of a how to, or are you asking to maybe explain why that may have been an issue? Thanks man!
Is it a shimano killer?
Lol, not too sure about that!! The Ax 11 is pretty sweet!
first time iv ever heard eating a strangers hair helps with your immune system lol
This is the logic that I have to live with😂. Like I always say he has been hit in the head a lot😜. Thanks buddy.
actually if you just eat the hair it helps your immune system more hahahahaha that was funny....this bike is sweet
HA HA I was waiting for you to see that!! LOL Love it, thanks man and cant wait to take the bike for a spin!!! She is going to be awesome and a very big thrill, hope everything stays together lol
Are u running tubless right now?
We can't run tubeless on the GT or Taff because we do tire reviews and have to take off and put on tires often, and sometimes in a hurry. Maybe on the Fragment or Sandstorm though.
That's true. Hopefully one day u all run them tubless. It made a whole lot of difference on my axum, and also the lutu air fork.
Yeah man its been an on going thing for a while now, going tubeless is just more expensive and not only that but gotta find a cheaper wheelset as well. And I know you can make them tubeless but we would like to keep things legit and not too taped together LOL:) Thanks man
My 300$ bike actually came with ltwoo a7 3x10 drivetrain and it’s doing fine after 1200+km of casual riding. Not sure about trails tho. Would be interesting
Hey man thanks for letting us know about your experience with that drivetrain. We are like you, interested to find out how it will perform out on the trails. We should have a real time review video out in a week or two.
That’s a cool chain j-whip 😂😂😂
LOL glad you caught that!!!! j-whip!!!!:)
Try the miscroshift acolyte too
We will look into it. Thanks
i need help, i am thinking of selling my upgraded cube Analog 2020 and buy an x-caliber 7. what is your opinion?
Hey brother I'll check into that tonight, we don't have those brands here but I will see what's up tonight man!!thanks
Hey brother got a chance to check em out!!! They seem similar but the analog has a better drivetrain and the x caliber has a better geometry overall and has an air fork as opposed to a coil?? Pretty tough man pretty tough? I would buy the excaliber!!!! Let me know but that fork being what it is, is a top selling point for me.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS agree
but now i found another one😪.. Cube attention SL (1x12 XT and air fork 😱) vs xcaliber
lol thats on you! ha ha do the upgrades man!!!! Its way better to do than have done or byuy:) you know this!!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS i want to upgrade my analog with a recon but it does not have a tapered headtube and i can not find one!! The attention already has one but f this i love my bike so much 😕
Why not try doing a frame build with one of the Chinese frames ....do you know that lutu and Jessica both make frames ..I would like to see one of those get built and reviewed as I haven't seen on on TH-cam yet .
Didnt know that man, I may look into that and thanks for the comment, that is very interesting? Appreciate it brother:)
I am from Scotland and really enjoy all your videos and your father is some character and yes 100% correct the tortoise won the race

That sounds cool man, you should look at getting a newer model an dfollowing along ha ha! And hes an alright guy😂😂😂

Oh damn man thats not gonna happen!!!! Your a military man you should know all about eating other peoples "hair burgers" LOL!!! and NO on the mail forwarding ha ha, but be sure and watch Fridays video!!! You are gonna be jealous my man:) NEW 29erFORKS!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Nobody had hair lol. I went ahead and ordered the deore BL-6100 BR-6120 brakes for my bike😁😁😁 maybe when we get back from Philly and yaw come down we can put em on.. At least now my big a$$ will be able to stop😂
LOL😂😂😂 Oh and nice when it comes to the brakes man!!We looked but dude, they have gotten outrageous!!! Will def help in the putting on department, that will make for a good opener/vid!!!:) Dint do it without me if you can hold on:) Later man!!! Very funny
Barrel adjuster is on the shifter and you also need to adjust the B-screw to the correct settings so that it will shift properly to the biggest cog. Also check the L limiter if needs adjustment.
Thanks man, and will do. I like for derailleurs to have a little barrel adjuster as well but I guess I just got used to the more budget style😬😬 but thanks for the I put man!
guys u set the lower limit screw first before you tension the cable!!!
Gotcha brother:) Appreciate you looking out brother😉😉😉😯😯😯😥😥
You should do a GT Avalanche instead of the Aggressor.
HA HA Got that one a few times already man, may look at that idea????:)

I know! we will have to get that setup for sure man, I hope to do that soon ha ha, thanks man and email me please if you havent!!!
Roflol those intros though
😂Thanks man!👍
There is a tension screw on the shifter itself, then you can fine tune and adjust properly the shifting.
And also there is another TH-camr who installed this same shifter and from AliExpress and had better results.
