@@samutya77 I don’t have the bike anymore. Overall, I liked the bike and components for a beginner bike. My main complaint was steel fork but if you’re too concerned with added weight, it’s a good bike for the price

@@gdrive44 😅 a bit older wheelset, could probably use servicing but don’t think sprocket has anything to do with noise

@@WeekendWarriorBentonvilleMTB if sprocket is ok, still is too loudly. Generally it should be silent. Bike with such sprocket is unacetable for me.

@@TariqBandar it is right? I like the green with black plus tan tire sidewalls look cool too

@@egoebb agreed!

@@raceface_m2579 that’s interesting to know. Assembling is one thing, but I wonder if they also adjust the bikes any before putting out on floor. After servicing the one in video, I learned others from ride group had bought same bike and had similar problems with brakes/shifting

@@glenjo0 I love to hear that! That’s a lot of miles, but as long as you replace wear parts, most high quality bikes last a long time!

Ha good question! First off, i'll say some people don't like loud hubs. A loud hub doesn't always mean a quality hub, but usually does because it's a reflection of the numbers of engagement points/pawls. You can make a hub quieter by greasing. Intent of hub check shorts is to hear "buzzing" of different hubs, not necessarily gauge quality. Myself, I love sound of quick engagement hubs, not necessarily loud. Wheel tech is so cool, it'z amazing the beating they take and durability. Long answer that probably did not answer your question 😅

@@WeekendWarriorBentonvilleMTB it did. I just bought a bike and it is just as loud.

Maybe the translation isn't perfect, but it's not so much the bearings that create the noise. Instead it is the hub and pawl interaction when you freewheel. See link, good explanation of how hubs/wheels work: www.bikeradar.com/advice/buyers-guides/freehubs

🤘🤘

@@donatoton not seated right! I saw that and I figured someone would catch it 😅 Wheel true as can be

휠이아니라 타이어 갈아끼고 비드장착이 제대로안됬자나! 뽕 뽕 소리가 날때까지 바람더넣어라

@@user-xo8ft1ri9b have no idea what this says but thanks for the comment!

타이어가 휠사이드에 제대로 장착이 안됬다고 ㅡ타이어가 바퀴에 안끼워졌다고 ㅡ

@@user-xo8ft1ri9b Ok, translated. Yes, just need to air up until it pops

Agreed! Otherwise a great value bike!

You’re right, the website does state rapid drive 108. I purchased preowned so there might have been a swap, the hub on mine does say 54t engagement. But I agree, great sounding hub

thanks 🙏

Yeah, I had planned on heading back out there Sunday, but unfortunately the storm changed those plans!

@@WeekendWarriorBentonvilleMTB ah man that sucks you should head down to the railyard in Roger’s it is concrete so it’s not torn up like the other bike parks! I went there yesterday and nothing was ruined! It’s the best place anyway. You should go if you are still in town!

@@SKULLY2024 I actually live in Rogers and Railyard is 2.5 miles from my place. I do some warm up runs there, but not really my style. I hit the trails for Lake Atalanta from there.

Having owned a Roscoe 7 before, they are very capable bikes, but yes, the Roscoe 9 is loaded with great components!

It’s a great bike and amazing condition!

small world! just documenting my passion for bikes!
