Great episode guys…..don’t hurt yourself with the mullet😆😆🤘🤘
I should of been wearing one!! 🤦♂️
Great video guys. I believe the "nipples" on the new chainring are actually spacers, meant to move the chain-line inwards.
I believe so
4:46 teasing that patreon build in the background lol
Haha you know it😜
My favorite upgrade I did was making my GT aggressor pro a 1x using the full IXF crankshaft/bottom bracket, thanks for all of your videos!
Thanks for the awesome comment timothy 👊
I should replace the square tapered BB on the GT with one of these. Thanks for showing it.
YES you should! 👍 It's such a fun and satisfying upgrade Lebron Photo (not.com)
Great stuff guys, glad to see the crank find a home. Just saw JGBike has another crank in their lineup, slightly more expensive, looks more premium but still a good deal. Love the content
Chuck appreciate it brother, thanks for helping us out man.
It's still a little different, you explained stuff really well(with more knowledge than you had in the past) I don't know if you do this one and done, you do a really good job talking and explaining stuff.
Well thanks man, i believe it's from my years of teaching nongi jiu jitsu class👍
I didn’t read all the comments but the basher guard goes on the big ring spot and will only work with a thru bolted middle chain ring. So in this case you need the outside of the crank machined for the chain ring like the IXF.
Gotcha, that's what we figured. If it were an ixf then we could of mounted it like that, oh well 🤷 Atleast we got that old nasty one off there.
the basher guard mounts to cranks meant for a 3x drivetrain. it mounts to the outside of the spider where the biggest chainring would go. it would work great on ixf cranks. great video, bros.
Thanks man, we wanted to mount it on the outside but like you said, not machined for one.....It's all good.
Great video, and just in time - need to change out my crankset and this helped me walk through it! Thank you!!
Yes sir, thank you for watching. Now go and get you some of those affiliate linkz!!!
🤘 Woot Woot! Another Wolftick episode! 💪 This video and the Ardor video helped me to upgrade my crankset!
WOOP WOOP!!! LOVE IT!!
Awesome job as always! Love me some build videos. I found your channel not long after we got into MTB around Sept 2020. These build / instructional videos really helped me along in learning how to maintain and upgrade my bikes. Now, two years later, I still love to watch these types of videos! I still regularly take my bikes apart, clean them, lube them, etc. You guys have made a difference to a lot of us out there for sure. Thanks dudes!
Man Greg, that's the sweetest comment ever. Thank you for being here and being a Patron. It means alot that someone like you helps support what we are doing.
Great Video guys! 👍
Thanks man, it was a fun episode 👍
Nicely done! very detailed
🙏🙏🙏
This video is great bc even if ur not upgrading ur bottom bracket its good practice to maintain it and keep it lubed up and cleaned. Great video as always Gents!
Thanks buddy👍🥰
You listen here and you listen good John. It's a dang tootin spindle so if you wanna keep calling it a crank shaft I may have to "consistently" call you a crazy old Kook.
With Love,
The Captain
You tell 'im Captain
🤣🤣 Well I'll be a monkeys uncle! 🐒 We were just about to start calling it a spindle but.....A wise man once said to always be your own captain and......Us Captain's around here drink, smoke cigars and call shafts shafts when we see e'm🏴☠️🦜🦜🏴☠️

Its dejavo again, Jg bike man your having a laugh thats what we got have to match it with snail bolts to be a contender much love and positve energy vibes from the uk wider than the spider
Ooohh I like that! Wider then the SPIDER!!!!
I like the fox jersey 😊 🦊 No alcohol too much sugar for your body fat you need to hit the gym Love the introduction of the video your dad did an amazing job❤
🤣🤣🥒 Man, your lucky I like ya Sam, you know how to get right under my skin!!
Just did a 21 km in 68+ faren... And ended up in the e-bike karen rush hour 🤬🔀 writing this before watching it, caus fell like i am going to need a ❄️ beer first!
Enjoy the BEER!!!🥃
Really nice concise guide, very professional 😂 it's a shame about the basher guard, it looked really cool. Nice to see an alternative to the good ixf too
Take care guys 🍻😎👍
You are right, it's always nice to see what looks to be good alternatives. 👍 wish the basher would of worked, but could not mount on the opposite side 😕 see you on the next Dan! CHEERS
The Ledge X1 is lookin good!
Dude you need to ride it!!
Makes the bike look better !
Dude it really does!!
Cheeky Thursday upload.
You betcha😜🤣
Another fantastic video did you guys change the fps looked very cinematic 🤙🏾 and great install and mentioning the spacers great beginners tip 💪🏾💯 shame about that bash guard I was hoping it was going to work out I run the same cranks and looking for a bash guard that fits. Looking forward to the real time review #wolfticknation catch you in the next one 💪🏾💯
Hey Akiva, man thanks for the comment brother. I have been working on my color grading and it really helps the overall look.
You had a much easier time getting your crankset and bottom bracket off the X1 than I did. I totally forgot about the nut and threaded in the crank puller only to very badly strip the threads out so much that I had to use a tire rod separator to get them off. Then I had to use a powerful impact gun to get the bottom bracket off because I nearly stripped the BB tool like you guys use and the impact gun I did have wasn't strong enough to break them. Successfully installed an IXF crankset without an issue.
😆😆🤣🤣 Man it's all in how you FINISH!!
Hi guys very good video I am learning lots watching your channel I think I might have a go at this job one day hope you can sort out the back adaptor in one video when you get time keep up the great work
Well thanks Clive, we usually keep it going but thought it was about time we did a wolftick style install 😉 Much love man
Looks slick!! I will tell you I am using the stock shifters and components on my ledge x1 but I just put a cheap $20 shimano rapid fire shifter on and man it makes the pro rush rear derailleur work way better no more skipped or dropping in the wrong gear and the shimano shifter is so much softer to push and easy to click and know your in gear a great cheap upgrade for anyone using the stock wheel and pro rush stuff.
Man good looking out! Hopefully someone sees this that's trying to find a way. IM MILKED!!
i got my gt 20 years ago now im passing it on to my son all wolfticked up i love my scott 29er but that dam things a whippet, looking forward to the dirt jumper and would love to see a colaberation video with you beserker, captians cog and the bike chick it would be so cool.
Man I could see that!! That's very cool your Wolfticked ride is going to your boy 🤘🤘🤘
Damn I just bought all this stuff 3 day's ago. I used your link on the puller
Ryan, appreciate you doing that man. Now return all but the Puller and reorder😜😜🤣
The same one comes on the Ardor. Mine was over tightened. I took it out.. mine had decent greasing but I regreased it and threw the bearings in oil for a bit, tightened it right and now it's way better. Until I can replace it.
Nice, our Ardors was tore up to lol.
Nice pair Crank arm sets 😊
Thanks brother 👊
For the spacers, just measure the width of the bottom bracket shell. A 68mm shell uses 1 spacer on the drive side and 2 on the non drive side. A 73mm bottom bracket uses 1 spacer on each side.
That'l seems like a great rule of thumb, but every bike is different. We found that out with our patrwon build lol. Thanks man
Just picked up the Axum from walmart. On sale for $228 by the way. This is probably the first thing that I'll be doing to it since that stock BB feels pretty bad.
Great video as usual. Thanks guys!
You are welcome David, thanks man.
10:36 The chain line will also be better depending on the offset the spider has, some cranks have crazy offset, like triple chainring cranks, offset can vary, and if you install the chainring without spacers or it does not have the nipples as you call it, spacing it out it will be horrible.
🙏🙏🙏👍👊
Good Morning 👊🏽
Good morning🤪🤣👍
My buddy's first bike had a square taper bb. He's a bit of pedal masher and managed to round off the square end of the spindle. Crank arm came off mid ride and he had to one pedal it all the way back to the trail head. 🤣
He upgraded his crank shortly after.
Lol, man the first fmfxtr crankarms I put on the gt didnthat exact thing, had to pound it on with a piece of tree! Lol BEEN THERE
Science! By the Tick!
S Lin BABY!! ALL SCIENCE 😉🧪🔬🥼👨🔬
Great video as usual! You should really be able to smoke olé Lawson now that it will pedal smoother! Lol!
🤣🤣🤣 You know it!!
That's a nice crankset. I like that the chainring bolts are black and not grinded down exposing the metal.
Also I'm excited that you put on the 30t chainring. Not sure if you've tried that, but I think you'll like it better than the 32t oval.
Man it's been a long time since we have installed like this. Thanks for the comment and yes, that crankset is sweet!!
That IXF crankset one was the first one that got me on your channel. Ended up buying one a couple of years ago to put on a rebuild of my old 1999 Stumpjumper and it's been great since then. The Stumpy is my winter bike so that IXF bb and crankset have lasted great through two or three Ontario winters. Great vids.
For the bashguard, you can try to put it on the outside of the spider where a large chainring would fit in a 3x setup. The IXF crank supports a 3x so maybe the JG ones does as well.
Well that's awesome to hear how you found us man, way cool! Now I would of mounted it on the outside but it is not machined like the ixf is....

That face though face pickle juice 🤣🤣🤣. Another great content. Just Installed an IXF crankset. Got the idea when you Installed the red one. Might hurt a few people but I like how wolf say chevy and dodge are ford's knock off. Glad I have an f150 🤣
That mallet to the finger. I saw that coming when you put your hand on the crank. I flinched for you bro 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's great! Thanks man love when you comment 👍🤘👊
Remove hand then apply hammer! Haha, I think I have done that to myself as well. JG Bike sells some good parts at budget prices. I've used their rotors, and a set of disc hubs in a wheel build, as well as a set of MT200 shimano disc brakes (when they were a steel). Fun upgrade! Cheap oem BB fail is not surprising. Those cranks look really nice, and seem well designed and constructed!
Man that's such a good deal everyone should do! Thanks again Patches
Lmao he must not know who The Tick is baby! That was the nicest disrespect I've ever heard " I don't mean this is in a mean way I don't think you can keep up" Lol. Come on son that's the world redound Tick! Wheeling dealing, limousine riding, jet flying son of a gun WHOOO! Could you shave some metal down on that slanted part to make sure it clears and doesn't collide with the teeth? But very educational video I like it.
🤣🤣WOOOOO!! LOL Thanks for the great comment brother, I loved it. Now regarding the shaving down some material, I think it could Def work! See you on the next my man 💪
Could the bash guard mount on the pedal side of the crank, leaving the cog on the inside?
19:26 The bash ring always goes on top of the spider. If you use it like that the chain will get worn fast, and the guard will be damaged too. But to do this you need to have logn enough bolts. The spider looks flat there, so possible to mount it there, as logn as the bolts are long enough.
👊👍🤘🙏😉
It’s all about chain line…. The theoretical chain line is the distance from the middle bike to the chain when in the middle of the cassette…. So middle of rear hub to middle of cassette should equal centre of frame to centre of chainring teeth. For boost =51-53mm non boost = 48-50mm so the spacers allow you to play with the front chainring position to get within the range . Different cranksets and setups will need different spacer positions it’s not really hard and fast so many spacers here or there… it’s what works a 12 speed cassette is not the same width as an 8 speed even if it does fit onto the same freehub body.
I feel a little smarter now.....Someone was TRIGGERED!! 🤣🤣👊Thanks Matt
That other end of the crank puller actually fits with the bolt you just removed with the ratchet
Not when you have a way better tool to use😜
Damn i was hoping that bash guard would work out because I wanted to get one, lol, oh well.
Well of you go with an IXF it should
I’ve used these and the IFX cranks on a bunch of bikes. They work good but you need to grease the bearings. They come pretty dry. Carefully remove the black flange sleeve. Next use a small pick/toothpick and remove the bearing seal. Squeeze some grease into the bearing. Replace seal and flange sleeve. This will keep the BB alive and working good.
We have had good luck with receiving greased ones. I don't believe we have ever received a dry bb yet, thank goodness 😅
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I got 2 that had zero grease. Felt good adding grease.
Spacer between the basher and ring! But yeah with compression it is likely going to fuck shit up! Got a bashers 4 fullsus in my bike parts tub but before I get my lazy ass over to the post office after looking up your info some one already prob sent u one🤔
AWHHHHH! THINKING of us LOL, THANKS TURNOVER
Bros I think the basher is supposed to go on the outside but im not sure if that is possible on the JG crank. It would work great on that trusty IXF!!!
yeah and make sure that saw blade points forward to dig into logs etc so it helps pull you over !
For sure man, but like you said the JG is not machined for it. We were just about to grind down the spider!! 🦜
Nice install video with perfect instructions 😉 When is the Wolfman and the Diva official bike repair manual going to be released?
Thanks brother, SUMMER 2024
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS 😂 it will be a bestseller for sure
I was going to suggest putting the bashring on the other side of the crank spider, but it appears the crank isn't machined for that configuration.
THANK YOU FOR NOTICING!! LOL EVERYONE IS MENTIONING WHY DID WE NOT
It looks like a professional work 💪🏻🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊 you should review a Yeti Bike 🚴
Oh Sam!!
Wolftick! Which dropper post did y’all put on the Ledge X1?
I really like the looks of the jgbike cranks compared to the ixf especially the v2 version look super sick
Dude I sent those, i like them a little more too.
17:41 I was about to say, 😆
Glad you caught that!!
I've wanted to upgrade my square taper to one of these. But is it really a big upgrade? Do these last longer then a good square taper? Since I've bought a "good" one from my store. It's in quotes cause I feel like I've chewed through it even though the most I've done is like small jumps to medium sized jumps lol. If I got these would I go through these faster then if I got a good square taper? If you answer these questions or not thank yous for these videos they're so enjoyable to watch. You two are damn entertaining :D 👍
I run thru square taper, these should last a bit better
Thank you for the comment man. Now regarding the question, these are less prone to stripping. The square taper overtime will start wiggle, especially being aluminum. These are smooth and light, not sire if it would last longer but the GT of ours had had 0 issues and I have ridden the 💩 out of that thing.
What size is that cap that goes on the outside of the crank arm I seem to have lost mine
Do you guys think you will every do a full ground up ebike build? Check out the Dengfu e22 and bafang m620 on greenbikekit. Carbon and it's the OEM for a lot of bike retailers. They even have batteries for them. The ebike part is very easy and simple to put together. I think you will be blown away by the mid drive power
Hey brother,now since we are not an ebike channel, most likely not. The reviews of ebikes do not do very well at all and cannot seeing a ground ground build with one. But there was talks with a company about a new mid drive budget bike!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS dang I really want to see you guys try out one of the high power mid drives. Do you have a discord I can join?
@Bengy22 no man, sorry we don't have a discord, not too sure how it works. Lol just don't have a lot of extra time.
I used to use JG crank sets on everything but I started having problems with the big center screw breaking(they were made of plastic)
it's the same as most Shimano and those has issues also. I recall someone making some out of metal but not sure where
I broke the one on my ixf but I bought a metal replacement one for just a couple bucks on Amazon
Gotcha, the JG Bike one is an aluminum style,
Why don’t you fit the bash guard on the outside of the spider? Or are the bolts not long enough?
Bolts are long enough, but the spider is not machined to fit a basher or chainring in front.
I will be converting my bike to a 1X and possibly just go single speed. Did you notice a quality difference between the JGbike and the IXF? Any one you would recommend over the other?
Not really, the only difference was the compression cap the JG Bike comes qith is aluminum as opposed to the IXFs plastic generic one....
4:11 ooh a marin san quentin what you gonna do with it
PATRONS GET EXCLUSIVE BUILDS
What’s up wolf man wolf tick
YO YO YO YO YO YO YO YO YO YO YO!!
I assume the saw blade on the basher gard is to help climb over logs. If that's true then I think you put it on backwards.
Well well, technically if it were meant to saw then I would definitely bottom out!! Lol 😆😆🤣
My crank arm is 170mm long too😉
🤣 Yeah? How longs your chain!?!?!? 😜
Maybe put the bash guard on the outside of the spider?
If it were an ixf style we could, but like we pointed out the outside is not shaved down .
Could you mount the bash guard on the outside of the spider?
Nah, it is not machined for it.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Balls
How bout putting that bash guard on the outside of the spider?
Man it's not machined like an IXF, I was going to but no go....
When are you doing viewers rides again? Also are you doing some updates for the dirt jumper?
We actually talked about having one this episode, but we ran out of time and we wanted to have a dedicated crank replacement. The Basher Guard wasn't even supposed to be on this episode, but The Tick kept forgetting. The Dirt Jumper is awaiting parts👍Thanks man
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS awesome super stoked to see what you do with that build for sure!
What's happening with that marin sq3 in the background? 🤔
PATREON EXCLUSIVE BUILD
damn those loose bearings. I thought at first it's a cartridge BB.
They are terrible!!
I’ve used a 2x4 and hammer before
😆😆🤦♂️
Move just basher guard to outside of crank?
Good thinking but i could not due to the spider not being machined for it.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I guess it’s not machined like the ixf. Enjoying your videos!
With the fake Fox shirts. You can ask the supplier not to put the http on them so they look more legit 👍🏼
Haha well then it would look like we were trying to pass them off as real😉🤣

May need to take a look!
4:09 Yet you guys drive a damn Silverado lol. I do get the analogy but I cant stand the irony
Haha that's right. We drive a Chevy and couldn't care less if back in the early 19 hundreds they ripped off Ford's ideas and manufacturing processes. 🤣 It's capitalism at It's core. If they can't patent an idea or a particular design, then people are going to swoop in and make their money while they can. We get ripped off by channels both bigger and smaller everyday, and we just keep coming up with more of our own stuff.🤷♂️ It is, what it is.
Hey bro if you ever start cramping them pickle juice viles will save your life. js
That's why we had it, that is until it started leaking in my truck🤬🤣👍

🤣🤣Man you know nothing beats a great crunchy juicy PICKLE 🥒
you put the left side of the bb on the right side of the bikef
What did wolfman mean Dodge is a knockoff of Ford but he got that backwards Mopar baby Mopar
Bad comparison but everyone is cheating off the guy sitting next to them now days. Makes no difference to me but people get really upset about the whole Fooker pedal thing.
@@Iosis6 I thought it was a dated but great comparison personally. Think about it. Ford didn't invent the automobile, but they invented the way they were designed and manufactured on an assembly line. Ford basically created the automobile industry then Chevy and Dodge came along and ripped off the way they did things trying to steal some of the automobile industry pie. I feel this is a very similar to what Fooker, RockBros ect. did. RaceFace didn't invent the pedal, but created such a popular design that others are going to want a piece of the pie. Hopefully that makes it make more sense.😁
Hey, hey, I drive a Chevy🤣👍
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS well I 100% agree on the assembly line. Ford was the first and everyone had to follow suit or be left in the dust. The fooker design is just such a blatant copy you would think they were made in the same factory. I do however own a set on my cheap XC bike. Really just can't beat them.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I'm just glad y'all can take the joke you guys pretty cool man and the family channel
