It is a great little feature. Its funny riding it though. In your head you are thinking its going to start tipping waaaay before it actually does. The folks that built it did a fantastic job. :)

Agreed.

No not today. This was from a few days ago actually. Rode at Tryon Park this afternoon

Lol some of it is the camera angle yeah but yeah she is growing like a weed. We moved her seat up a whole bunch this season.

She's really starting to ride well too. I didn't record the whole ride but her and I rode the other night and she was riding like a maniac. Pretty soon she'll be dropping me on the downhills. HAHAHA

Yes this is the Trek Roscoe 24. 24 inch size for kids. It's awesome. Annie loves it. czcams.com/video/wjCaBXPIOxQ/video.html

This is Dryer Road Park in Victor, NY. They just put this feature in a couple of weeks ago. It's right near the back by the new trail Rufus which is fantastic fun.

@@eightwheeladventures That’s awesome i’ve definitely gotta check it out, especially being a frequent rider at dryer. rufus happens to be my favorite trail, haven’t ridden it in a while though so i haven’t seen the new feature. i’m already planning to be at dryer this weekend so i gotta go and ride it, thank you

Awesome. Yeah they did a great job with Rufus. Annie was all proud when she "caught air", her words towards the bottom the other night. I didn't see it so can't confirm but it's definitely her favorite as well.

You could certainly put 2.4in wide tires on it. That would be a great width for that kind of riding.

Thank you 🙋

Sounds awesome. I just upgraded tires here and went with a maxxis Assegai in the front and a dhr ii in the rear. Seems to be a great combo so far.

Oh nice. I debated which color to get when I bought it as well. Lol

Awesome. It's such a great bike platform. It rides so well. 😄

awesome deal. The Roscoes are really great bikes. I love my 7 and Jack really enjoys his last gen 6. They are just solid.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Well the newer 7 is a 29er with slightly newer frame geometry, 12 speed Deore versus 10. The rest stock looks similar to the 2019. A brand new 2024 Roscoe 6 is now in my opinion a great buy as they updated the frame to be the same as the 7.

So you have a new bike with an amazing frame. Hahaha. 😄 Awesome.

Koje kotače ste nadogradili na svog roscoe ? Jeste li širinu mjenjali ili samo marku guma

I just changed the tire brand. Went with a Maxxis Assegai in the front and a Maxxis DHR II in the back. I believe the Assegai is a 2.4 and the DHR is also the same. I believe the stock tires were 2.6s.

@@eightwheeladventures u planu mi je da kupim Roscoe 8 i da stavim uže kotače 2.4. tako da sam malo brži . Puno vam hvala na savjetu 🙋🇦🇹

Good call. That was a nice upgrade to the 6 this year to give it the same frame as the others. 😄 Ride that thing hard and keep the rubber down. Lol

Yes it is!

Awesome. Sounds like good upgrades for sure. Hope you are enjoying yours as much as I am mine. I think my oldest child is waiting for me to make the jump to a FS so he can have the hand me down. Lol

Awesome. Had that been the price difference when I bought mine I would've probably done the same. Great bike choice. 😄

Aww thanks for hanging out with us. It really is a blast.

It does ultimately come down to personal preference. They felt really cheap to us and hard on the hands hence the upgrade. Lol

I just turned 68 I'm not a very aggressive rider

That's awesome that you are out there though. It's so fun getting out to ride just in general. The whole family loves it here, which is where this whole CZcams thing came from.

​@eightwheeladventures where did you purchase your 3 upgrades from, about to purchase a 2024 Roscoe 7 in a couple weeks.

@@jeffreyjuneau1959 Grips and pedals were purchased right from PNW. You can also grab them on Amazon. Tires came from JensenUSA. They were on sale when I bought them.

Thanks guys. Appreciate it. Keep having fun out there. 🤪

We have the Feedback Sports Ultralight Repair stand - www.rei.com/product/749596/feedback-sports-ultralight-repair-stand It works great. For the garage we just bought a few cheap hanging racks that hang the bikes from the front wheel. No name brand that I see on them. Nothing fancy.

Lol 🤣🤣🤣

@@eightwheeladventures nah seriously i have the old gen of this one and its worthin trust me buddy

Upgrade to what though on the front?

@@eightwheeladventures the shifter make it to 2 speed on front

@@REB00TED. Oh definitely not for me. Lol. I love my 1x in the front on this bike. I had a 3x way way back in the day about 25 years ago. The 1x drivetrains of today are so much better in my opinion.

Woohoo awesome. Yeah mine is about a year and half and it's been ridden in everything. Lol

Agreed. It's a fantastic bike.

Haha thanks. This is awesome. 😄 Love it.

Thanks as well for putting in all the work on the trail system and the event itself. Was a first timer to the event and it was a blast to ride in. Will have to convince the rest of the family to give it a try next year. And to anyone else out there reading this. COME RIDE THIS EVENT NEXT YEAR.

Yes it is. Works great. I need a different mount for it so it doesn't stick so far out.

Thank you. It's way harder racing than I ever thought it would be but it actually is alot of fun.

Thanks Bo. It's lots of fun being out there. 😄

LOL was such a hard race. Lots of fun for sure, but way way hard.

Yes 24". They work great. It's a great bike for 7-10 year olds

@@eightwheeladventures That's good to know. Then I can upgrade relatively soon.

@@eightwheeladventures Quick question. They have bikes for sale at REI. Do you think the Co-op DRT 1.3 is a good deal? Or is the Roscoe 6 better? I heard the Roscoe now uses the same frames on all models. Idk about the frame on the Co-op.

@@Jose-sy1je That REI bike seems like a decent bike for the price. You probably can't go wrong with starting with a bike like that. We do love our Roscoes in this house though they are a bit more money. LOL

@@eightwheeladventures I am not really planning of buying another bike down the road. I do want to keep it for a long time and be able to upgrade components on the bike when necessary. You are saying the Co-op is decent for the sale price. Does that mean you think the Roscoe 6 is better?

100% agreed. Lots of fun for sure.

Thanks Randy for watching. Appreciate the comments as well. The family certainly has a blast getting out to ride. The riding that you see isn't sped up at all in any of our longer videos. I think some of the "speed" is due to the wide angle on the gopro. I experimented a little in a few shorts with speeding things up and it's real obvious that I did. Lol.

Yes the new 6 is much closer to the 7 that I have. The frame is now identical. With the 7 you'll get the Deore drivetrain with 12sp where the 6 is only a 9sp. The forks are probably similar in spec from a quick look at the moment. The new 6 is a decent bike for the price although the spec is a bit lower. If you have the funds go with the 7. The 12sp and the Deore is rock solid for a drivetrain. The older 6 if you can still get one is a decent bike. Jack rides one of those even though the frame is a little older.

@@eightwheeladventures Does 12 sp mean you'll have an easier time on climbs as with the 9 sp? Or is the range the same and you mainly have more refined gears between highest and lowest?

@Jose-sy1je the cassette on the 9sp ranges from 11-46 teeth and the 12sp cassette goes from 11-51 teeth. So yes the 12sp will give you a couple more easier gears for climbing and I think it's 1 more in between some where. I would have to look specifically where it lays.

@@eightwheeladventures The lower number (11) stands for the easier gears if you go uphill? Or is it the higher number?

@Jose-sy1je higher numbers are easier when it comes to teeth on the cassette in the back.

Thanks I'll take a look at that. Appreciate the tip.

Aww Katie. Thank you. The family has so much fun making them. So glad the season is getting going again. Appreciate you watching

Just the stock that came with the Roscoe. I've pretty much worn them out. Lol
