I just ordered online a 26" GT Pro Performer. I had to do some quick research on doing a solo assembly. Easy enough... Only question is. Does lube need to be applied as I've seen others do? Thanks
@@jimminycricket6618 Yup thanks. My local bike shop said it's a common issue with GT bikes that the hub threading isn't manufactured consistently. I'll have to get it replaced
@@bacdoliljo that means either you, or the bike shop you brought it to.. striped the threads. Just shine a flash light on the threads and you'll see if it's cross threaded. Cross threaded from factory is not possible neither is a change in the axle diameter because when it's machined its done in such a way with all bikes that this can not be a possibility. Contact GT support. If you assembled it yourself and not at a licensed dealer your warranty is void and not valid. As with all bike brands.
even 2 years later this video has helped a lot, appreciate it 💯
I hope all is going well with your bike! I bought the same one and I love it!
By the way the magura hs33 hydraulic rim breaks do fit on this bike if curious.

The two sided hub is called a flip flop hub. It's an 80s thing. I'm thinking about getting this exact bike.
Love these 29s!!!
That bike is beautiful
How did you screw in the front axle bolts to secure the wheel? Mine will only go in a third of the way and it's extremely tight.
Hi Tommy, mine didn’t have any issues going in and having the nuts screw on. If its that bad of a fitment issue i would look at returning it.

The other has the super laced hubs
Any difference between this and the 29” pro performer?
Hi PJ, im not sure, ive seen other 29” peformers online with different bars. I haven’t seen any in person though.
Hey dude can I ask a few questions about you gt please.
I own the same bike didn’t come with the same accessories just wondering? The bike shop said the front brake and goodies you got doesn’t come with it.
Mine was sources from a uk shop. Is yours us or uk spec?
Niiiiice👍🏽💯
Can I get a free bike please
