Not so much a tire choice, but what I already had laying around. I was going to mount the Goodyears I have on the stock wheels, but simply got lazy and just tossed these wheels and tires on. They work better than expected! Funny thing about the dropper is it is the same weight as the stock seatpost which is made of steel. The only added weight there was the dropper lever, cable, and housing. Sure, I coukd drop a good chunk of weight if I used an aluminum rigid seatpost, but dropper posts have become a necessity for me.
If this mtb bike sold in the Philippines i swear all the local tournament mtn xc Full suspension competition always have this cheap Full suspension mtb its very expensive
Yep! Makes no sense, right? Or, you could look at it as having a really fun full suspension for under $1000. This bike originally retailed for $800 and this one is arguably way better for about the same cost. I also look at the potential to repurpose these upgraded parts on another bike in the future. Bike parts are a little like Legos in that you can take stuff apart and put it back together with different stuff. This is a hobby (playing with bikes and making crummy youtube videos). I have a little bit of disposable income that I choose to blow on bike related stuff.
It’s not 200 anymore, the only ones available are from decathlon Canada for around 550 usd, even at 550 i think it’s a very solid bike and worth all the upgrade
looking good, interesting tire choice. I bet it feels much lighter with the hollowtech crank and air fork (although the dorpper add weight)
