I bought a used trek xcabliber 7 for 200 dollars. It now has a fox 34 performance, gx 1x12, new dt swiss 533d/370 wheelset, dropper, shimano xt brakes. Upgrading can and probably will become an addiction
@KoRnudo definitely just eu vs us pricing, over here bikes are so common that people dont care for them and practically sell them for nothing. Pretty nice but parts are just as expensive as in the us if not more expensive.
Hey man! I just turned 14 so i am geting a new bike, ive had an old Scott Voltage YZ 30 for like 5 years now so k am looking for a better bike, i saw the scott aspect 760 on sale for 500$ so i am probably gonna buy it. What do you think? Btw i am an absolute begginer at mtb. Sorry for bad english, i am from Sweden 🇸🇪
500 sounds pretty good if the bike is being sold in a store. If it's second hand then it depends if the bike is in good shape (if everything works if it's been cared for) and the model year. I say go for it :D
I have a Scott Aspect 960 from 2018, and it looks like it's pretty much the same bike, same paint, same tyers, same brakes. I am planning to upgrade it to a 11-50 12 speed Sram Eagle SX with a crankset from Shimano XT. I can't wait to that project. I love that bike, and I want to put even more love into it. I've already spent some money on it, mostly for maintenance, and few parts changes. But last month I've did some researches and I made plan for upgrading it. I already change a tire, I've put a 29x2.40 Continental Trail King in the front. I've used that tire on the back for a short period, but today I've put the Kenda one on the back, and now I feel the bike to be a lot faster, but with better grip for the front. Next time I will get a 29x2.35 tire for rear from Maxxis.
Nice, is it still riding nicely ? I just got the 970 but I’m trying to figure out what the difference in numbers are (970-60 and others) is it just better parts on the lower number models
Thanks. The shifting is way better since there is only one derailleur. Also the cassette has a lower and a higher gear than the freewheel before (so you can say I have more torque). :)
Hi, great video, can you please share cost for doing the upgrade? I am thinking to do it on my daughter's bike as the shifting shall help her as well, but not sure what cost it requires. Many thanks

You don't need a goat link on that deore, it has a massive range. I have mine on a 11 to 50 tooth cassette and it works perfectly without a goat link...
I don't know what hardware you are using, but my derailleur's maximum capacity is 43 teeth (like is written on Shimano's website bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/deore-m6000/RD-M6000-SGS.html ). So I had to use a road link.
A Scott Aspect 50 definitely can' be upgraded to an enduro bike it's just too basic and it wouldn't be worth it. Plus you wouldn't have the full suspension luxury that any other enduro setup has.
@@s4chy According to my research yes, for how many speeds you can have I don't know. For that information you must take off the current cassette and measure how long the hub is.

how could you get it for only 200 was it in that bad of a condition? or is it just europe to america price difference?

Nice bike stand.

Well done! Specially the wheel that you built yourself.
Thank you.
Super nice! I have a Scott aspect 930 and was thinking of doing something similar. How much did this upgrade cost you?
About 100 to 180€. It depends if I sell thee old components.
POG THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@ryanp5052 well it still good. Sadly I didn't have had time to upgrade it :/
so satisfying to watch
Great Job buddy! Can you tell us about how it rides now? Is is better then Before? Faster? more torque? etc.... well done
what were the benefits of these upgrades??
Thanks. The shifting is way better since there is only one derailleur. Also the cassette has a lower and a higher gear than the freewheel before (so you can say I have more torque). :)
got same bike, just replaced bb and put new bearings in head set, they are nice bikes, 29" wheels
Good job.
Nice content man 👍 - this is why TH-cam was made for. good stuff. 🙏
I did the same on my new aspect, it looks like a no more cheap bike.
I wanted to to upgrade my 2018 scott 750, thanks for the video.
Why didn't you go tubeless after all this work, like rebuilding the wheels?
Also lock on grips xD
Tubless was out of my budget. I would have had to buy new rims, my don’t support tubless. But the grips I will get.
Bravissimo, ottimo lavoro!
Looks awesome 👌 👏 👍
How is that upgrading your putting the old stuff back on the bike
Any idea why the back and front wheels are different thicknesses? Both 27.5 s but front one is alot thinner
Nice upgrades, I used to run that same derailleur and you dont need to install a goat link for a 46t cassette
Thanks I’ll definitely try to remove it.
Hi, great video, can you please share cost for doing the upgrade? I am thinking to do it on my daughter's bike as the shifting shall help her as well, but not sure what cost it requires. Many thanks
The derailleur was like 50€ and the shifting lever was like 25€
Awesome, how much was all the upgrades in total? So I can see what I would be working with too. Keep it up.
Thanks, the parts were about 200€.
O yeah very nice 👍👌
good stuff
Is cost effective to upgrade or purchase a new bike?
It depends on your current bike and the one you want to buy. But yes upgrading is more cost effective.
Very impressive.
Men this Is great, where did you buy the parts? Thanks a Lot, nice video
I ordered them on amazon.
@@LUKASOPW cool, thanks
Perfect job!Can you tell us the name of the upgrades(all of them) thank you very much!!
I upgraded the cranks, the front chainring, the rear derailleur, the derailleur shifter, the back cassette and the rear hub.
@@LUKASOPW the brandnames of these? Shimano?
@@teotheo1176 Yes everything is Shimano except the cranks are from action.
@@LUKASOPW you made that choice for any particular reason ?? Plz let me know
@@vinjagvijya Not in particular, Shimano is just a reliable brand.

Awesome. Thanks for the content. You should put some affiliate links to the parts you used. Make a little money off this.
Worth it
I have a scott scale 980 2018 with sram nx 11 speed
Wow great video
Thanks for the support.
Why did you not put on chain lub pluse buy NEW brakes AND grips i Had a problem with tektro brakes they leaked Oil.😁
The chain came lubed. I am planing on buying brakes my back one has some problems.

Can i upgrade my Scott Aspect 50 2010 or to buy new one i want to upgrade it for enduro if this is posible
A Scott Aspect 50 definitely can' be upgraded to an enduro bike it's just too basic and it wouldn't be worth it. Plus you wouldn't have the full suspension luxury that any other enduro setup has.
@@LUKASOPW thanks for reply :)
Beautiful brooo🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️👍
how much cast do you spend on this cycle upgrade
About a 100€.
it's applicable to the aspect 950??
Probably, try to do some additional research.
Let's try to upgrade our aspect 950 2018 Scott bro
My aspect 750 has a 3x8 configuration, can I upgrade it to a 1x10 without a free hub?
You already have a free hub, you can upgrade.
@@LUKASOPW wait really? What is the max configuration I can go upto
@@s4chy According to my research yes, for how many speeds you can have I don't know. For that information you must take off the current cassette and measure how long the hub is.
@@LUKASOPW thank you 🤝
Your old hub was 135mm?
Yes the old rear hub had the O.L.D. (mm) 135.
Sigan Viendo...😊
No need for goat link for 46t cogs...
Ghetto setup. Awesome!
Sick
The ghetto setup LOL
How much did this cost you in aud
About 230 AUD.
@@LUKASOPW thanks I’m looking into doing the same upgrade
great but when you go down give yourself a lower seat because you will be able to move your legs and control the bike much easier
Great thanks for the tip.
ker kral si legit, ti boš pobegnil iz ghetta
no way :P
Bye a better bicycle.Dont waste money to upgrade this one.
Maybe you see it that way, but some people get attached to their bikes and don't want to replace them.
