The new build looks KILLER and the DEAL on the fork blew me away! $500.00 for a name brand fork is a fair deal and you guys got it for 1/2 that much! Building a bike on a budget can be challenging and rewarding and once you get to try out the FRUITS of your labor it’s always a great experience. I’ve built up a few bikes and each one has its unique challenges... like not having a BOOST front wheel! Have fun with the build and I’m looking forward to seeing the first ride!
Gonna be golden !!! Thanks guys and very good deal on the forks, cant wait to try them out. We will see if we can fit everything into our $1000 budget with the bike price included:) Gonna be a challenge but the Fruits are gonna be sweet if so!! Thanks GEO
Thanks for the video, you guys crack me up. You remind me of me and my son, who is away at college. Keep it up. Honestly, a big part of why I watch is because of the interaction between you guys, and the bikes are secondary.
You have no idea how much we loved that beginning....I am actually an advanced clinical nurse on ventilators and specialized in respiratory disease, asthma, and allergies, and have basically cured myself of all my allergies that I grew up with and I know you don't want to hear it guys but basically going plant based did it amounts other changes....all I can say is I don't miss em one bit hahaha....Do It Live!!!! Hahahahaha....this is turning until one heck of a cool bike....Irish German here too fellas amongst other things hahaha....have a great day!
LOL Very cool Dan!!!! Appreciate it man and funny but not going to the plant based stuff! Will try the honey method!!! I do appreciate you not telling me how allergy pills will hurt me and etc:) Bike is gonna be awesome!! Cant wait to ride it:) Later guys!! Rock ON!!!!!
13:13 the bike looks much better now, and yes you can convert the front to boost. I know there are universal kits that work with all hubs, but the problem is they use spacers you have to hold in place while sliding axle thru, suuch a kit will include rotor spacer, two spacers one for each side of the hub. but you might be able to get adaptors that instead. looks like you have a Novatec hub, in any case you will be able to get it resolved, but then all you will have then is rotor adaptor, spacers for hub, one on each side, unless it's a kit that just moves the hub to the left by using one wide adapter, hope does that with their kit, it's not even a kit, just one spacer, but I have MRP better boost adapter, so I did not have to dish the front wheel, I just used spacer, for rotor and adapters. but on the rear I used Hope Tech kit.
You can find adapters for non-boost wheels to fit a boost fork. They cost between $10.00 to $20.00. They come with spacers for the axel to increase the axel spacing from 100mm to 110mm. Make sure it has a spacer for the brake rotor to move it out to fit the calipers.
Well man I got a link and used it from a fellow subscriber!! It cost $13 and they have the spacer for the rotor as well, thanks for the heads up brother, appreciated
Im a fan of that fork. Way better than stock and can be adjusted for you specifically. I did the same swap. You will enjoy the improvement for sure. Those are some Wide bars my man.
Hey brotha! Watching your videos made it really Easy to make the purchase on my bike. You both are great! Keep it up! 2020 Schwinn boundary 29. (Upgrades coming soon)
Thanks so much man, thats cool you realize the similaritys. The boundary is on the list but cannot find any near by:( we will soon hopefully! But the Taff video will be put up tomorrow regarding the forks! And we got one hell of a MAILTIME!! Very cool stuff and some announcements:) Thanks for the kind words man and thanks for being apart of #WOLFTICKNATION
3:39 I noticed the imperfections immediately. but at least the round holes where you mount handlebar, and mount stem to the steerer tube look decent, but they did not deburr, run stem in a mixer to get rid of the imperfections, the place close to the hole where steerer tube goes has imperfections, metal sticking out, but the rest looked pretty decent.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS if this stem is forged, it should be quite robust, I don't remember if this stem is forged. I don't know if it's a copy of something or original design. but it fits the build well. I could not notice any burs or imperfections where the bar and steerer tube would be, did you? does it feel smooth?
And yup you can use spacers. I have some on my forks. Plus I’m gonna keep a eye for the review on the forks. And breaks. Need to see them in action. For 2 bikes I own
That handle bar combines 👌 with the bike, i love the 780s, I have on both of mine. Yes, there are spacers. And I got another fork vid tomorrow. Surprise...
sweet forks. it be interesting to see your take on how does it feel when going from quick release or any other way with dropouts to bolt thru axle. although, not sure will it be possible to notice difference with upgrading from budged coil forks to fancy RS one. keep 'em coming!
Thank you so much Mario, Im curious as well this is by far the fork with the most pressure on it!!!! Has to be good right??:) Well we will find out soon I hope, thanks again brother we appreciate ya! Soon we will be doing a bike check on our stable>
Brooooo! I’m pumped about the rock shocks. I’m eager to hear the differences between the those and the ‘LUTU’ brand we both have! Also, the OCD in me is so happy to see you guys have organized the extra bike parts 😂👍🏼
Ha Ha thats great man!! Cant wait to see whats up with the RockShox as well, they are sweet looking, and how about the headset/bars/stem!!!??? Gonna be sweet brother. Thanks Tyler
OH MAN I love this channel. First of all, bike's looking SICK. Can't wait for a review on the RockShox... Second of all.... HAHAHA .. you had me cracking up. From my experience, usually Jessica comes pre-lubed. ;) You guys are the best. This is def. in my top 5 TH-cam channels, top 3 even.... I did the 1x conversion on my Aggressor. Had to beat off the drive side crank... was beating off for 2 hours... My neighbor was probably pissed because of all the noise... When it came... off... It felt so good, I was so excited I wound up yelling.. Such a good feeling to get that crank off. Got some cheap pedals as well, RockBros, they're pretty much imitation RaceFace. So much better. I wanna know if, in your opinion, after you get some riding in on the RockShox, if you think it's worth the extra cash money to go name brand, or if the knock offs are just as good (but probably break faster and lacking in the warranty department). My local trails are set to reopen October 3rd... hopefully they actually open this time... it keeps getting pushed back because of rain... so I haven't done much off pavement w/ the Aggressor yet :(. But I put at least 10 miles in daily and so far I'm loving it.. especially w/ the 1x. I think the oval chainring makes a HUGE difference. Got new grips in the mail today.. Ergon GA2.. hopefully they help w/ my hands going numb.. Anyways, sorry for rambling but watching this video put me in a good mood... YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
Very funny man!! When you beat it that hard without the right setup, its bound to piss people off. Its a lot smoother during the morning hours when people are gone off to work;) Just some advice for ya in the future. And as for a pre lubed Jessica completely understand, found out this past weekend:) I know you mind when you look down finding a jessica between your legs, but for some reason.....I dont mind it at ALL! Glad you found our channel and GOODNIGHT brother! Bike is coming along:)
Haha well that and the crankset, pedals, and seat. Yeah once we realized that the derailleur was messed up and we drove two and a half hours to get the bike, we were like lets just replace all that we can for under $1000 dollars. Thanks man.
hey guys love the channel ill be sending cups of coffee and or beers once my build is complete. but i have this bike and i got this same shock as will. can you please shed some light on a video EXPLAINING THRU AXLES AND QR AXLES. I ran into this problem with my build and trying find a new rim for this wheel shock to work. what size JESSICA HEAD SET DID YOU GUYS USE FOR THIS ?? THANKS
Yeah we got ya brother:) Just we have that long history of cutting steerer tubes to fit certain bikes!!!! Like the ZTZ and the LUTU so dad was giving me crap, thats why we had to make it a big deal
@Crazy 8s Drums This is the old guy. You are correct, but that is when someone is putting the fork on one bike. We have 9 projects going and we sometimes need to swap parts or have hand me downs. Just like you said bikes have different length headtubes, so we have to leave enough on the fork for a variety of bikes. I think you understand what we are saying. Thanks for your support man.
@Crazy 8s Drums We could not agree with you more. If that were the case we would not even have to cut the steerer tube because it would be universal. Could you please start a movement for this standard headtube thing to happen haha. Thanks again man.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS There is a way to help you use those forks... A head tube extender. www.amazon.com/s?k=head+tube+extender+bike&crid=3KRD3KMOX6G7K&sprefix=head+tube+extender%2Caps%2C162&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_18
Dam rockshox? Nice choice I’ve been wanting some rockshoxs for my bike. Vid idea, you should make a video installing protective film on your bike it would be a fun video and helpful. Keep up the great videos.
:) HA HA Dude we had to!!! I wanted them so bad and the budget for the Taff is $1000 including the bikes price of $298 so I wanted to splurge! We will check out the protective film as well my man, maybe a good idea! Thanks
great to see the steerer tube was cut properly, the only mistake, was the non boost wheel, not even that big deal as it's not a long term issue, just assembly problem, but I am sure you will get that sorted soon. get adapters, check with the manufacturer if they offer adapters for this hub if not get aftermarket stuff, if you can't find specific kit for this hub, go for universal kit.
When you start getting to the mid to high end, you'll always end up needing to cut the steerer tube. Good job on that, BTW. I've always preferred a pipe cutter to a hacksaw!
Here is why I was waiting for this video. When upgrading the front suspension you can run into wheel spacing issues like you just did, axle sizes, Boost/regular, etc. I don't want to buy front suspension until I figure out what to do about the wheels. Right now the front has 9x100 QR which doesn't look like it would last on a real trail. I know you watch Kev's channel so you know what I'm talking about because I said it there and I know you were there too I saw you. I wish someone would (maybe you guys at some point) get into how to buy wheelsets a little more - what to look for and where to find them, etc. They seem very difficult to configure and find online. Example: If I want a 29" wheelset , whats a cost effective but good hub (Novatec?), I want 2.5+ tires, inner width of rim should be 25-29mm, who has that? How do you know if you are getting a 3 or 5 pawl or which is good enough?, What do I need for the front wheel F - QR 9x100, 15x100 or 15x110 Boost and what about the rear R - 12x142 or 12x148 Boost? Do I need a rear wheel, do I buy just a front wheel or is better to buy the whole thing as a set? I'm going down a rabbit hole here now because now my rear cassette and derailleur get impacted when I mess with the rear wheel. I need help. -Val from Boston. Thx.
Hey brother, it is a rabbit hole for sure! And can be very very confusing. Lets start with the bike and fork you are looking at. What bike do you have + wheel size, then if you dont have a fork in mind thats fine we can help you there as well. A 9mm QR has served me well and I have never heard of anyone bending one or a failure. Not saying it cant happen but I have take my GT on some very hairy stuff and not once has the Axle ever failed me, but anyways let us know please
Not sure if this is what you would need for the front wheel Silverock Front & Rear Bike Boost Hub Conversion (15mm x 100mm to 110mm) (12mm x 142mm to 148mm)
Great video! Download the rockshox app and put in your fork serial number and body measurements. It will give you a good starting point to set air pressure and rebound! Also, that fork has adjustable travel, all you have to do is remove some spacers and it may make an interesting video
Thanks so much for the advice man, gotta take them apart one of these days and do some more research on them. We appreciate ya brother and thanks for being a public subscriber! Will also look into the app thing, another subber mentioned it as well:)
Appreciate you man, we enjoy entertaining everyone and just being us, thank you for being a public subscriber and sticking with us. We appreciate it brother man
man i didnt even think about it i just got rid of my 27.5 boost wheel set to bad this is a 29er? i donated them to a fellow MTB club member u can find hubs for a decent price if u know how to build a wheelset or take it to a local bike shop and have them built, but a spacer is deff the cheaper option i would think iv just never seen a spacer in person im super interested to hear your feedback on how that set up feels and runs
Cody we have gone to about 12 Walmart's and once in a while we will find something. Trust us we know how hard it is to find bikes right now. Hopefully this will change soon.
Yeah checkout the Lutu link in the Lutu review video we shot for the 27.5 GT. They are great for the price with 120mm of travel and rebound. They offer them in a 29er if that is what you need? Checkout the new tire review and and see how they do down the black diamond:) Thanks man
Again, gotta stop commenting before I watch the whole video 🤣, that email had a boost spacer link in it! I'm running the dymoece from Amazon on my boost fork.
Well that's a tough one. We have a lot of miles on the LUTU's and we have not had a chance yet on the KRSEC's. The KRSEC's have the best rebound adjustment that we have seen yet. The LUTU's are tough as nails so far. I think you could go either way and be happy for the money. Hope this helps at least a little.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS hey man thanks for the reply. I actually said yolo and went a little over budget and got the rockshox recon RL for the GT. did you have any issues installing a new fork on the GT? do i need new bearings ? A star nut came with the rockshox correct?
Cool man I cant wait to see what you think!Now they did not come with a star nut and I totally recommend a new headset! I got a video on that you know LOL But heres a link brother and it is in the U.S. and comes with a star nut!!!

I am really glad to see budget reviews. I have a question regarding forks you have been testing. I am going to upgrade the forks on my daughter's trek marlin which has a coil fork right now. She is only 9 and only weighs 60ish pounds. Of all the forks you have tested could you please talk about how the budget forks compares to the rockshox? Or let me know what you would recommend? Thanks and keep up the great vids
Yes sir, and will do. When we get the RockShox and the rest of the Taff project going, I will be sure to talk about the differences and feel. Maybe there will be minimal??? For $100 more there better not be!:) Thanks and hope you stick around man.
HA HA Thanks Ernie, that sveyr funny. Kinda like carrots and chocalate! We are a mess and we are very happy you subbed brother, thanks for watching us and commenting:) Got a good kids bike coming out tomorrow!!! 20"
Brother this forks go on the Aggressor!! Those are the ones that me and my son are trying to save up for. Although the 120mm travel you have on the gt is looking pretty good to me right now. I think I could use the extra 20mm of travel lol
Sorry Wolfman, but fork tubes are meant to be cut. Tick, I just got that stem last Thursday. Its pretty sick. This is becoming my favorite build. Looks sweet. Good color combos. Need the pedals and grips to be a bright contrast color.
You are right. Anyone that has a bike and gets a new fork should size and cut the steerer tube. When you have 9 projects and you cant afford to be buying a fork for each one then it is different story. Jeremiah has a budget of $1000 for the whole bike including the bike and he just blew $230 of it. I don't know if he will finish this out the way we planed at this rate. I will tell him to look at your suggestions on parts. Thanks for the support man.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS trust me Wolfman, I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but forks aren't really meant to be switched from this bike to that bike for comparison. Not all head tubes are created equal. I dig what you guys are doing.
Haha no rain detected here. I'm just saying the LUTU's and ZTZ's were screwed by cutting them for the GT. Now we have other bikes that need the forks, and they don't fit. Remember Jeremiah could not care less about the budget. I get to be the bad guy and say no haha. In the end he usually gets his way. The little spoiled brat haha. Thanks man.
Hey brother my understanding is rockshox offers the Recon RL in black stanchions only, and the recon silver in a 26" only. So this is a RockShox Recon Rl. We got heck of a deal on it and brand new it is right at $230???
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I think that if you google: Rockshox recon silver rl then a fork similar to the one you reviewed will come up. Only the fork decals are different i think. Anyways if you guys can review it that would be great. If not im still going to watch your great videos. Thanks for the good videos. Keep up the great work. 👍🤘🏼
Hmmm....we will check that out man? If it's in the price range it might be a possibility. Thanks for watching us and commenting brother! See you next Tuesday
Well ma I would recommend the 42 tooth, its enough top end speed and enough torque to really get going up ad down hills. I will be sticking with mine for a while, but you wont be able to switch yours up man until you get a new wheelset or a freewheel that will accommodate that. Right or what is your plan?
Hey brother here is an affiliate link and for future references we have all (or atleast try:) parts links in the descriptions of our videos.

4:59 be careful with clamping the brakes or you might snap the clamp, cus it's not forget aluminium, only the caliper is forged, the master cylinder is cast I think. I've seen that someone managed to break it, so be careful. also these brakes are discontinued.
Haven't watched this yet but im wondering something. Where is the Sandstorm? You need to do a dual sus budget upgrade. There is a budget rear air shock made by DNM I think. It seemed like you had fun trail testing that thing.
Man it was a blast brother, and we enjoyed it! The front hub is making a weird noise, about a month ago we went to take it back and exchange it but they are out of stock. So it will be upgrdaed with that $100 schock most likely when we get another model, but it is coming sooner or later:) Thanks Ian
Can you plz make another upgrade video for the OZONE 500 FRAGMENT I have that bike and I love to see more videos about it thankyou love the videos keep up the good work!
Got you on that first brother hell yeah I keep up them vids I started filming yesterday I think you're going to like it I may or may not have hired someone to do some video editing for me
6:27 just a regular cardboard? that must be OEM packaging, what bicycle factories get to build their bikes up, cus RockShox comes with a box that clearly states Rock Shox, also has the model number on it, and is a more robust box. but that fork is a much better fork than any of the forks you had.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS 7:10 this fork has a feature on Rockshox forks have, it's Torque caps culpability, that's big adapters on the hub, to increase the stiffness. I haven't tried a fork and a hub with that yet.
Cool man. We don't know how much we like them yet, but I'm worried that at $230 it is going to wreck our budget of $1000 bike included. Thanks for the support man.
Forgot to mention I had the same issue on my GT avalanche when I upgraded my front fork to the rockshox sid lol it arrived in the mail , smh lol had to go upgrade my front rim to make it work , I ended up getting a race face affect front rim with the boost true axle 🤯😂.. i’m interested to see how it works out for you guys , i’m guessing we’ll find out in a future video, happy trails fellas 😎 🤙🏽
Funny and it sucks to learn by trial and error!!!Ha ha but we have made a channel of it. It will workout fine im sure just gotta not make any mistakes, the bike has a budget of $1000 including bike price!!!:0
WOLFTICK VIDEOS , yes indeed bro your guys channel is the place for that! I can totally relate to the trial and error stuff !! I will say its a great way to really learn though, Because when you mess up you get pissed off and you don’t forget !!🤣 .. ok awesome bro , With that budget sounds like you guys can afford a few more upgrades 😎
Dude it goes so fast though!!! Trying to see if you can make a bike cheaper with all components better than you can buy a bottom line bike shop bike at around $1000 to $1200. Hope so, also going to be doing a bike check soon on all our rides!!
WOLFTICK VIDEOS lol yeah bro your right , it’s goes quick as hell and its really easy to spend more than intended lol Not like I know that from personal experience or anything 😏🤣.. Thats partially why I like the channel because you guys do everything on a budget .. 😎.. Funny you say that because The only thing stock on my XL GT Avalanche is the frame, I believe I could’ve spent a lot less money if I would’ve just built my own bike from the get-go 🤷🏽♂️🤯😳🤣 .. like always stay safe and blessed Fellas, from your hippie buddy in Cali 🤙🏽😂🤣✌🏽
@Cody Doerzbacher We are feeling the love 🥰 haha. Not sure if we have ever been accused of being, or getting smarter 🤣 but thanks. Time will tell if it was a smart buy with a budget of $1000 including the bike.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS anything enjoyed cant be wasted. I enjoy working on and doing "budgetish" upgrades to my bikes. Hell I love tinkering on my Agressor, and this is how I found your channel, but I also ride a full suspension Santa Cruz
The GT is a better bike that's for sure. We are trying this whole $1000 dollar budget for the whole build thing including the bike. We will see how it goes. Thanks sam fisher.
HA HA they are sweet man and yes the color is too cool, totally Humpty Dumpty:) Got to stick in that $1000 Dollar budget including price of the bike so finding some other stuff gots to be very budget now!! LOL Later dude
Well fortunately that has not happened yet 😥. Remember though we have about 9 projects running and sometimes we need to borrow parts. If we cut the steerer tube to fit the headtube of a bike it might not fit others (think ZTZ from the GT to the Villotti here). If we only had one bike then it would be a no brainer. Thanks for the comment.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Yw I hope one day my channel will get as big as yours I’ve been watching your vids for a while now you guys are very entertaining and funny lol
they are not good to take every day they are actually horrible for your stomach and if u take them one a day they become less effective bc your body builds up and immunity, i used to do the same thing until i talked to a professional lol Same forks i run on my hardtail good forks for the money and they look great too!

The new build looks KILLER and the DEAL on the fork blew me away! $500.00 for a name brand fork is a fair deal and you guys got it for 1/2 that much!
Building a bike on a budget can be challenging and rewarding and once you get to try out the FRUITS of your labor it’s always a great experience. I’ve built up a few bikes and each one has its unique challenges... like not having a BOOST front wheel!
Have fun with the build and I’m looking forward to seeing the first ride!
Gonna be golden !!! Thanks guys and very good deal on the forks, cant wait to try them out. We will see if we can fit everything into our $1000 budget with the bike price included:) Gonna be a challenge but the Fruits are gonna be sweet if so!! Thanks GEO

Rock Shox!? You've made it guys, well done 😁
I'm glad you like our craziness🤣🤣. We will see how smart of a choice the RockShox were with the budget only being $1000. Thanks man.
13:13 the bike looks much better now, and yes you can convert the front to boost.
I know there are universal kits that work with all hubs, but the problem is they use spacers you have to hold in place while sliding axle thru, suuch a kit will include rotor spacer, two spacers one for each side of the hub.
but you might be able to get adaptors that instead.
looks like you have a Novatec hub, in any case you will be able to get it resolved, but then all you will have then is rotor adaptor, spacers for hub, one on each side, unless it's a kit that just moves the hub to the left by using one wide adapter, hope does that with their kit, it's not even a kit, just one spacer, but I have MRP better boost adapter, so I did not have to dish the front wheel, I just used spacer, for rotor and adapters.
but on the rear I used Hope Tech kit.

You can find adapters for non-boost wheels to fit a boost fork. They cost between $10.00 to $20.00. They come with spacers for the axel to increase the axel spacing from 100mm to 110mm. Make sure it has a spacer for the brake rotor to move it out to fit the calipers.
Well man I got a link and used it from a fellow subscriber!! It cost $13 and they have the spacer for the rotor as well, thanks for the heads up brother, appreciated
Im a fan of that fork. Way better than stock and can be adjusted for you specifically. I did the same swap. You will enjoy the improvement for sure. Those are some Wide bars my man.
Thanks brother and cant wait for the adjustment phase! Dude the bars are way long LOL hope that helps with he 29"er
Hey brotha! Watching your videos made it really Easy to make the purchase on my bike. You both are great! Keep it up!
2020 Schwinn boundary 29.
(Upgrades coming soon)
Thanks so much man, thats cool you realize the similaritys. The boundary is on the list but cannot find any near by:( we will soon hopefully! But the Taff video will be put up tomorrow regarding the forks! And we got one hell of a MAILTIME!! Very cool stuff and some announcements:) Thanks for the kind words man and thanks for being apart of #WOLFTICKNATION
I have the same fork. You're going to love it!!
HELL YEAH!!! Cant wait man, its like imma have 2 christmases!!!!:)CHEERS
3:39 I noticed the imperfections immediately. but at least the round holes where you mount handlebar, and mount stem to the steerer tube look decent, but they did not deburr, run stem in a mixer to get rid of the imperfections,
the place close to the hole where steerer tube goes has imperfections, metal sticking out, but the rest looked pretty decent.
ok will see what you are talking about:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS if this stem is forged, it should be quite robust, I don't remember if this stem is forged. I don't know if it's a copy of something or original design. but it fits the build well. I could not notice any burs or imperfections where the bar and steerer tube would be, did you? does it feel smooth?
A little burs on the bottom side but man oh man it is pretty smooth! Very nice as well and cant wait to ride it!!! HA HA
Got the same stem oil slick for the sidewinder
Stem is so sick man! $25 isnt bad either:)
And yup you can use spacers. I have some on my forks. Plus I’m gonna keep a eye for the review on the forks. And breaks. Need to see them in action. For 2 bikes I own
Well thank you man, you will see them in action alright!
Keep atleast a 5mm spacer ontop when you cut your forks :)
😉
That handle bar combines 👌 with the bike, i love the 780s, I have on both of mine.
Yes, there are spacers. And I got another fork vid tomorrow. Surprise...
HA HA will be watching my man!! Thanks Alex:) Spacers ordered!!!
Great video can’t wait to see the vid of u riding it and hope u get that tire thing fixed
Thanks guys, the part should be here tomorrow so that will be fun, also will be doing a bike check soon on our stable! Thanks
WOLFTICK VIDEOS can’t wait
sweet forks. it be interesting to see your take on how does it feel when going from quick release or any other way with dropouts to bolt thru axle. although, not sure will it be possible to notice difference with upgrading from budged coil forks to fancy RS one. keep 'em coming!
Thank you so much Mario, Im curious as well this is by far the fork with the most pressure on it!!!! Has to be good right??:) Well we will find out soon I hope, thanks again brother we appreciate ya! Soon we will be doing a bike check on our stable>
Brooooo! I’m pumped about the rock shocks. I’m eager to hear the differences between the those and the ‘LUTU’ brand we both have!
Also, the OCD in me is so happy to see you guys have organized the extra bike parts 😂👍🏼
Ha Ha thats great man!! Cant wait to see whats up with the RockShox as well, they are sweet looking, and how about the headset/bars/stem!!!??? Gonna be sweet brother. Thanks Tyler
OH MAN I love this channel. First of all, bike's looking SICK. Can't wait for a review on the RockShox... Second of all.... HAHAHA .. you had me cracking up. From my experience, usually Jessica comes pre-lubed. ;) You guys are the best. This is def. in my top 5 TH-cam channels, top 3 even.... I did the 1x conversion on my Aggressor. Had to beat off the drive side crank... was beating off for 2 hours... My neighbor was probably pissed because of all the noise... When it came... off... It felt so good, I was so excited I wound up yelling.. Such a good feeling to get that crank off. Got some cheap pedals as well, RockBros, they're pretty much imitation RaceFace. So much better. I wanna know if, in your opinion, after you get some riding in on the RockShox, if you think it's worth the extra cash money to go name brand, or if the knock offs are just as good (but probably break faster and lacking in the warranty department). My local trails are set to reopen October 3rd... hopefully they actually open this time... it keeps getting pushed back because of rain... so I haven't done much off pavement w/ the Aggressor yet :(. But I put at least 10 miles in daily and so far I'm loving it.. especially w/ the 1x. I think the oval chainring makes a HUGE difference. Got new grips in the mail today.. Ergon GA2.. hopefully they help w/ my hands going numb.. Anyways, sorry for rambling but watching this video put me in a good mood... YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
Very funny man!! When you beat it that hard without the right setup, its bound to piss people off. Its a lot smoother during the morning hours when people are gone off to work;) Just some advice for ya in the future. And as for a pre lubed Jessica completely understand, found out this past weekend:) I know you mind when you look down finding a jessica between your legs, but for some reason.....I dont mind it at ALL! Glad you found our channel and GOODNIGHT brother! Bike is coming along:)
Wow! The only Walmart part of that bike is going to be the frame! I love it! Awesome! 👍👍
Haha well that and the crankset, pedals, and seat. Yeah once we realized that the derailleur was messed up and we drove two and a half hours to get the bike, we were like lets just replace all that we can for under $1000 dollars. Thanks man.
hey guys love the channel ill be sending cups of coffee and or beers once my build is complete. but i have this bike and i got this same shock as will. can you please shed some light on a video EXPLAINING THRU AXLES AND QR AXLES. I ran into this problem with my build and trying find a new rim for this wheel shock to work. what size JESSICA HEAD SET DID YOU GUYS USE FOR THIS ?? THANKS
Most bikes have a different length headtube so forks are made with extra steerer tube length. You are supposed to cut the extra length off.
Yeah we got ya brother:) Just we have that long history of cutting steerer tubes to fit certain bikes!!!! Like the ZTZ and the LUTU so dad was giving me crap, thats why we had to make it a big deal
@Crazy 8s Drums This is the old guy. You are correct, but that is when someone is putting the fork on one bike. We have 9 projects going and we sometimes need to swap parts or have hand me downs. Just like you said bikes have different length headtubes, so we have to leave enough on the fork for a variety of bikes. I think you understand what we are saying. Thanks for your support man.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS IMO, the headtube on MTB should be a fixed length, for exactly those reasons. Some of these forks cost just stupid money....
@Crazy 8s Drums We could not agree with you more. If that were the case we would not even have to cut the steerer tube because it would be universal. Could you please start a movement for this standard headtube thing to happen haha. Thanks again man.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS There is a way to help you use those forks... A head tube extender. www.amazon.com/s?k=head+tube+extender+bike&crid=3KRD3KMOX6G7K&sprefix=head+tube+extender%2Caps%2C162&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_18
More awesome upgrades! Love that new fork
HA HA You know it man!!! The fork I cannot wait to use it:) Im totally drooling ha ha, thanks U.P.O.
The Taff is looking sweet!
Thanks brother! We like it too haha.
You got a branded shock I'm so excited!
Yeah buddy!!!!! I CANT WAIT!!!!:)
Dam rockshox? Nice choice I’ve been wanting some rockshoxs for my bike. Vid idea, you should make a video installing protective film on your bike it would be a fun video and helpful. Keep up the great videos.
:) HA HA Dude we had to!!! I wanted them so bad and the budget for the Taff is $1000 including the bikes price of $298 so I wanted to splurge! We will check out the protective film as well my man, maybe a good idea! Thanks
great to see the steerer tube was cut properly, the only mistake, was the non boost wheel, not even that big deal as it's not a long term issue, just assembly problem, but I am sure you will get that sorted soon. get adapters, check with the manufacturer if they offer adapters for this hub if not get aftermarket stuff, if you can't find specific kit for this hub, go for universal kit.
Did and done!!!! Thanks Johannes
When you start getting to the mid to high end, you'll always end up needing to cut the steerer tube. Good job on that, BTW. I've always preferred a pipe cutter to a hacksaw!
Ha HA thanks brother, I have had some practice!!! (With Hacksaws) As you know!!! A little cleaner with a pipe cutter ha ha
Yep on the p cutter
Awesome Video!! Just ordered the Jessica Headset for my Schwinn Boundary
Sounds good brother!! You will love it ha ha, and the stickers:) Sent them out Today!!!! That headset is so smooth:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOSI can't wait for the both!
Here is why I was waiting for this video. When upgrading the front suspension you can run into wheel spacing issues like you just did, axle sizes, Boost/regular, etc. I don't want to buy front suspension until I figure out what to do about the wheels. Right now the front has 9x100 QR which doesn't look like it would last on a real trail. I know you watch Kev's channel so you know what I'm talking about because I said it there and I know you were there too I saw you. I wish someone would (maybe you guys at some point) get into how to buy wheelsets a little more - what to look for and where to find them, etc.
They seem very difficult to configure and find online. Example: If I want a 29" wheelset , whats a cost effective but good hub (Novatec?), I want 2.5+ tires, inner width of rim should be 25-29mm, who has that? How do you know if you are getting a 3 or 5 pawl or which is good enough?, What do I need for the front wheel F - QR 9x100, 15x100 or 15x110 Boost and what about the rear R - 12x142 or 12x148 Boost? Do I need a rear wheel, do I buy just a front wheel or is better to buy the whole thing as a set? I'm going down a rabbit hole here now because now my rear cassette and derailleur get impacted when I mess with the rear wheel. I need help.
-Val from Boston. Thx.
Hey brother, it is a rabbit hole for sure! And can be very very confusing. Lets start with the bike and fork you are looking at. What bike do you have + wheel size, then if you dont have a fork in mind thats fine we can help you there as well. A 9mm QR has served me well and I have never heard of anyone bending one or a failure. Not saying it cant happen but I have take my GT on some very hairy stuff and not once has the Axle ever failed me, but anyways let us know please
Not sure if this is what you would need for the front wheel
Silverock Front & Rear Bike Boost Hub Conversion (15mm x 100mm to 110mm) (12mm x 142mm to 148mm)
Well thanks man for the input, now I ordered the exact thing you listed the 15mm X 100mm to 110mm adapter:) Should be here Thursday, thanks man
Great video! Download the rockshox app and put in your fork serial number and body measurements. It will give you a good starting point to set air pressure and rebound! Also, that fork has adjustable travel, all you have to do is remove some spacers and it may make an interesting video
Thanks so much for the advice man, gotta take them apart one of these days and do some more research on them. We appreciate ya brother and thanks for being a public subscriber! Will also look into the app thing, another subber mentioned it as well:)
Hey guys! Got the stickers you sent! They are sweet! The package I sent passed through Tennessee a few days ago. Hopefully it will reach you soon!
So glad they reached you S Lin, very col man and looking forward to the package, if it gets here in time, who knows it might be the Taff's!!!!???
Don't forget to do some service work for this fork(change oil inside as from factory in many cases fork don't have it in lower legs) before riding
Thanks man, I will do some research
Looking sick!!!!!! I’m enjoying the channel you guys kick ass! 👍🏻
Appreciate you man, we enjoy entertaining everyone and just being us, thank you for being a public subscriber and sticking with us. We appreciate it brother man
man i didnt even think about it i just got rid of my 27.5 boost wheel set to bad this is a 29er? i donated them to a fellow MTB club member u can find hubs for a decent price if u know how to build a wheelset or take it to a local bike shop and have them built, but a spacer is deff the cheaper option i would think iv just never seen a spacer in person im super interested to hear your feedback on how that set up feels and runs
Glad to hear it man and will let you know! Thats totally awesome of you by the way to donate some wheels man!! Very nice of you💙
Are those zoom back brakes 4 piston?
NOOOOOOOO just 2:) We will see how they do stopping me:)
Duuuude! Bike looks sick. Would love to find a nice AL comp or Taff soon to do the same
Also, HOW do you find any bikes at walmart?? There is one schwinn Boundary at my local.
Man oh man you are missing out!! We will see when shes all put together ha ha, thanks brother
Cody we have gone to about 12 Walmart's and once in a while we will find something. Trust us we know how hard it is to find bikes right now. Hopefully this will change soon.
I'm gonna order some of these parts for my budget bike. thanks
That sounds great Cristian, going through our affiliate links helps us out:) So we appreciate it brother:)Good luck on your build
I gonna wait for them zoom. I thought to get them for a bike I have budget also used 40 dollar bike but worth the ride.
Cant wait to try them out as well man, hope they do a good job stopping me LOL And you!
I can't wait to see you try this fork
You and me both brother, hell the whole bike!!!
I wanted to see the Zoom brakes also. My Vitus has Tektro brakes which have terrible reviews, but I think they compared to the MT200
Yeah man we are looking forward to the Zoom's as well, gonna be a good one I hope and I hope they stop me!!!!:)
looking better already.
Thanks man! We love the way it is turning out so far.
Got the same exact stem for my taff!
Hell yeah mna!!! Cant wait:) We will be twinkiesLOL
What a beautiful bike that is .
Thanks brother, the Taff needs to make a come back.
What's the budget goal for the Taff?
$1000 dollars including the bike price!!!!!
Any decent straight steerer forks?
Yeah checkout the Lutu link in the Lutu review video we shot for the 27.5 GT. They are great for the price with 120mm of travel and rebound. They offer them in a 29er if that is what you need? Checkout the new tire review and and see how they do down the black diamond:) Thanks man
Again, gotta stop commenting before I watch the whole video 🤣, that email had a boost spacer link in it! I'm running the dymoece from Amazon on my boost fork.
Gotcha!!!!
Would you recommend the krcrs fork or the lutu for the gt ?!
Well that's a tough one. We have a lot of miles on the LUTU's and we have not had a chance yet on the KRSEC's. The KRSEC's have the best rebound adjustment that we have seen yet. The LUTU's are tough as nails so far. I think you could go either way and be happy for the money. Hope this helps at least a little.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS hey man thanks for the reply. I actually said yolo and went a little over budget and got the rockshox recon RL for the GT. did you have any issues installing a new fork on the GT? do i need new bearings ? A star nut came with the rockshox correct?
Cool man I cant wait to see what you think!Now they did not come with a star nut and I totally recommend a new headset!

Nice video brother and those upgrades looks awesome , good stuff man, keep them coming brother 💪👍✌
Right on brother!!!! Will be throwing those sweet a** tires on there as soon as the realtime review is done!!!Cant wait man, thanks again
I am really glad to see budget reviews. I have a question regarding forks you have been testing. I am going to upgrade the forks on my daughter's trek marlin which has a coil fork right now. She is only 9 and only weighs 60ish pounds. Of all the forks you have tested could you please talk about how the budget forks compares to the rockshox? Or let me know what you would recommend? Thanks and keep up the great vids
Yes sir, and will do. When we get the RockShox and the rest of the Taff project going, I will be sure to talk about the differences and feel. Maybe there will be minimal??? For $100 more there better not be!:) Thanks and hope you stick around man.
Love the channel guys! Keep up the great work. 🤙🏽
Much love man and thank you !!!!
Use the plumber tool on the bad toe. To bad that the rim and fork dont fit. Stil working on the beer not easy to get it🤯
HA HA got an adapter that will be here by the next video!! LOL And as for the BEER CMon man, make it happen😉😉😉😁 TOE BE GONE!
Looks like this one is going to become the flagship bike. GT had a good run.
Hey now lets not get too excited!!! LOL:)
I just subscribed.....you two go together like peas and ice cream.......
HA HA Thanks Ernie, that sveyr funny. Kinda like carrots and chocalate! We are a mess and we are very happy you subbed brother, thanks for watching us and commenting:) Got a good kids bike coming out tomorrow!!! 20"
Brother this forks go on the Aggressor!! Those are the ones that me and my son are trying to save up for. Although the 120mm travel you have on the gt is looking pretty good to me right now. I think I could use the extra 20mm of travel lol
Ha HA and the extra $100 dollars!!!! Funny man LUTU all the way:)
It’s going to look sick mate. Keep it up. 💪🏻👍🏻✊🏻
YES SIR!!! Thanks brother, she is gonna be awesome:):):)
Sorry Wolfman, but fork tubes are meant to be cut. Tick, I just got that stem last Thursday. Its pretty sick. This is becoming my favorite build. Looks sweet. Good color combos. Need the pedals and grips to be a bright contrast color.
You are right. Anyone that has a bike and gets a new fork should size and cut the steerer tube. When you have 9 projects and you cant afford to be buying a fork for each one then it is different story. Jeremiah has a budget of $1000 for the whole bike including the bike and he just blew $230 of it. I don't know if he will finish this out the way we planed at this rate. I will tell him to look at your suggestions on parts. Thanks for the support man.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS trust me Wolfman, I'm not trying to rain on your
parade, but forks aren't really meant to be switched from this bike to that bike for comparison. Not all head tubes are created equal. I dig what you guys are doing.
Haha no rain detected here. I'm just saying the LUTU's and ZTZ's were screwed by cutting them for the GT. Now we have other bikes that need the forks, and they don't fit. Remember Jeremiah could not care less about the budget. I get to be the bad guy and say no haha. In the end he usually gets his way. The little spoiled brat haha. Thanks man.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS yeah man. Us Dads always get to be the bad guys. It sucks sometimes.
Being the bad guy 🤬 is part of the job though...right?😜
Is that a Rockshox recon silver rl? Because those run for about $250-350 i think.
Hey brother my understanding is rockshox offers the Recon RL in black stanchions only, and the recon silver in a 26" only. So this is a RockShox Recon Rl. We got heck of a deal on it and brand new it is right at $230???
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I think that if you google: Rockshox recon silver rl then a fork similar to the one you reviewed will come up. Only the fork decals are different i think.
Anyways if you guys can review it that would be great. If not im still going to watch your great videos. Thanks for the good videos. Keep up the great work. 👍🤘🏼
Hmmm....we will check that out man? If it's in the price range it might be a possibility. Thanks for watching us and commenting brother! See you next Tuesday
Which cassette would u recommend? 42 tooth or 50? Im not getting any young and hills are knee killers for me
😂😂Well what spd? 8,or 10? And is it the Taff's original wheelset or a completely different build? Thanks man
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS 10 speed and yes its original wheelset sorry
Well ma I would recommend the 42 tooth, its enough top end speed and enough torque to really get going up ad down hills. I will be sticking with mine for a while, but you wont be able to switch yours up man until you get a new wheelset or a freewheel that will accommodate that. Right or what is your plan?
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS ok. Yeah didnt think about the wheel. Im gonna get a new cassette and derailleur coming asap! The stock one is trash.
Yeah man just get that QR rear wheel and you will be good to go!!:)

Appreciate it man ha ha, will do :):):)!!
4:59 be careful with clamping the brakes or you might snap the clamp, cus it's not forget aluminium, only the caliper is forged, the master cylinder is cast I think. I've seen that someone managed to break it, so be careful. also these brakes are discontinued.
I will be careful with it brother, hope to not brake the brakes:) Thanks for the worry ha ah
Those forks are rad just need a boost wheel set adapter and u will be shredding the trails 🇬🇧❤️
Got one on the way. Thanks so much for your support.👍
Haven't watched this yet but im wondering something. Where is the Sandstorm? You need to do a dual sus budget upgrade. There is a budget rear air shock made by DNM I think. It seemed like you had fun trail testing that thing.
Man it was a blast brother, and we enjoyed it! The front hub is making a weird noise, about a month ago we went to take it back and exchange it but they are out of stock. So it will be upgrdaed with that $100 schock most likely when we get another model, but it is coming sooner or later:) Thanks Ian

6:27 just a regular cardboard? that must be OEM packaging, what bicycle factories get to build their bikes up, cus RockShox comes with a box that clearly states Rock Shox, also has the model number on it, and is a more robust box.
but that fork is a much better fork than any of the forks you had.
Ha HA will see, the fork number is listed but the seller states box will come in OEM packaging.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS 7:10 this fork has a feature on Rockshox forks have, it's Torque caps culpability, that's big adapters on the hub, to increase the stiffness.
I haven't tried a fork and a hub with that yet.
right on, we will see when we become more familiar with it
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS not all hubs support this system. it's uncommon now, I am not sure if it's necessary.

WOLFTICK VIDEOS that’s my favorite color too lol I put a purple chainring on it as well
SWEET!!
I have Recon's on my bike. Far better and lighter than the spring shocks that came with the bike.
Cool man. We don't know how much we like them yet, but I'm worried that at $230 it is going to wreck our budget of $1000 bike included. Thanks for the support man.
Forgot to mention I had the same issue on my GT avalanche when I upgraded my front fork to the rockshox sid lol it arrived in the mail , smh lol had to go upgrade my front rim to make it work , I ended up getting a race face affect front rim with the boost true axle 🤯😂.. i’m interested to see how it works out for you guys , i’m guessing we’ll find out in a future video, happy trails fellas 😎 🤙🏽
Funny and it sucks to learn by trial and error!!!Ha ha but we have made a channel of it. It will workout fine im sure just gotta not make any mistakes, the bike has a budget of $1000 including bike price!!!:0
WOLFTICK VIDEOS , yes indeed bro your guys channel is the place for that! I can totally relate to the trial and error stuff !! I will say its a great way to really learn though, Because when you mess up you get pissed off and you don’t forget !!🤣 .. ok awesome bro , With that budget sounds like you guys can afford a few more upgrades 😎
Dude it goes so fast though!!! Trying to see if you can make a bike cheaper with all components better than you can buy a bottom line bike shop bike at around $1000 to $1200. Hope so, also going to be doing a bike check soon on all our rides!!
WOLFTICK VIDEOS lol yeah bro your right , it’s goes quick as hell and its really easy to spend more than intended lol Not like I know that from personal experience or anything 😏🤣.. Thats partially why I like the channel because you guys do everything on a budget .. 😎.. Funny you say that because The only thing stock on my XL GT Avalanche is the frame, I believe I could’ve spent a lot less money if I would’ve just built my own bike from the get-go 🤷🏽♂️🤯😳🤣 .. like always stay safe and blessed Fellas, from your hippie buddy in Cali 🤙🏽😂🤣✌🏽
You are the new "DUDE" ah aha Big Lebowski reference:) Love the comments brother and peace and love, peace and love:)💙✌💙✌you seen it?
I have that stem too
Dude that stem is sweet man! I love the design and hope it holds up over along period of time, cant wait to ride the TAFF!!!! Thank you for watching:)
This bike has better upgrade than GT the GT’s are more expensive bike
Yep. I think they're getting smarter with upgrades too. Im glad I went my own route with my gt, but I love these dudes
@Cody Doerzbacher We are feeling the love 🥰 haha. Not sure if we have ever been accused of being, or getting smarter 🤣 but thanks. Time will tell if it was a smart buy with a budget of $1000 including the bike.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS anything enjoyed cant be wasted. I enjoy working on and doing "budgetish" upgrades to my bikes. Hell I love tinkering on my Agressor, and this is how I found your channel, but I also ride a full suspension Santa Cruz
The GT is a better bike that's for sure. We are trying this whole $1000 dollar budget for the whole build thing including the bike. We will see how it goes. Thanks sam fisher.
@Cody Doezerbacher-ooooh sounds nice man I love the Santa Cruz designs! Very cool geometry im totally jealous!!:)
Love the intros 🤣🤣
Man we never get tired of hearing that🥰. Thanks for being a public subscriber and commenting.
Rockshox fork?!
Now you’re getting too rich for us 😂
Haha kidding, I do love mine on my Marin
And the color matches so well!
HA HA they are sweet man and yes the color is too cool, totally Humpty Dumpty:) Got to stick in that $1000 Dollar budget including price of the bike so finding some other stuff gots to be very budget now!! LOL Later dude
You have to cut forks, you don’t want a 2 inch piece of metal to slam in to you in case you fall
Well fortunately that has not happened yet 😥. Remember though we have about 9 projects running and sometimes we need to borrow parts. If we cut the steerer tube to fit the headtube of a bike it might not fit others (think ZTZ from the GT to the Villotti here). If we only had one bike then it would be a no brainer. Thanks for the comment.
*rockshox kicks in*
😁😁😉
😆 WHAT'S HIS PROBLEM WOLFMAN???🤣🤣🤣
Damn kid doesnt listen!!:)
Nice video!
Hey thanks man!
Nice bike
Thanks man👍
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Yw I hope one day my channel will get as big as yours I’ve been watching your vids for a while now you guys are very entertaining and funny lol

You know dakota kelley right?
Yeah man, thats our BOY!
they are not good to take every day they are actually horrible for your stomach and if u take them one a day they become less effective bc your body builds up and immunity, i used to do the same thing until i talked to a professional lol Same forks i run on my hardtail good forks for the money and they look great too!
LOL, thanks brother! Need to get a check on that allergy pill quick haha. The fork is gonna be amazing man I just know it! Knew you would like it brother, thanks "YOU KNOW" Later man, see you Friday for a new bike!!!

Got the Boost conversion thank s to you!! HA HA should be here Thursday, I was like hang on Steven Thomas sent a link!! HA HA thanks for that brother!!We will give you a shout:)
You guys have to cut the forks don't fight it
Haha we compromised and cut half as much so we can still possibly use them on future projects.😜
Wow that fork costs almost as much as the bike, looks sweet though.Rip toe
Just about ha ha, gotta stick in that $1000 Budget with the bike included!!! Hope I can make it work with the next upgrades:)
