Bro upgrading crappy bikes is exactly the content I wanna see lol
Facts, it's the most relatable content on this website lol, this is exactly what I do in my spare time
I know you no longer care for old bikes, but I'd love to see an even older, more obsolete full suspension PoS get a video.
203mm is almost exactly 8 inches where as 200mm is like 7.88 or something I believe that’s the only reason for the slight discrepancy in size. Saying you had 8 inch rotors back in the olden days of mountain biking was viewed as cool lol
Parts companies are loosing out not sponsoring you. They could give you unmoved merch from 2 years ago and you would put it on a shit bike and make an interesting video about it.
I swear no one changes parts out as much as you.
Now most rotors are in metric sizes and come in 20 mm increments. 140, 160, 180, 200, 220. Back in the day imperial sized rotors were also popular, like 6" (152), 7" (178) and 8" (203), but they've mostly gone away.
Commenting solely because I like you.
That high BB is the only thing that really stands out to me. Definitely not a slow tech type of rig, but probably okay for rocky descents.
We have 203mm rotors probably because 203mm is around 0.00222034995625547 football fields, which is approximately 8 inches.
Part swapping is so fun
That frame looks badass. Definitely rock that .
Iv got an airdrop edit v2 frame and shock , hung on the wall im not using would be perfect build project for you 👌
Have you considered new bearings to make it less clapped out?
Great job! Keep up the great work and love for older and more budget builds.
Has work bench, uses office chair as work top instead. I can relate my friend.
I wanna ride it! I recently built a Trek Scratch 26ER very much in the same manner and it was a great bike! Sold it to a friend for entirely too little money when I bought my YT Capra… but it’s not about the money, it’s about the journey, the enthusiasm and seeing what works haha. Thanks for all the inspiration, love these vids!
This is exactly the content we wanna see ❤
15:28 And the slack seat tube angle. But yes the reach is short.
does the piggyback clear the frame when fully compressed?
Might be worth removing the spring and cycling the suspension to see.
I have a huge scar on my left calf due to some +5 year old cranks. The left crank arm snapped and stabbed me in the back of my leg while powering through a short climb. At first I thought the chain snapped but then saw blood everywhere... and yeah I'm not taking chances with old equipment any more... specially the carbon/aluminium stuff. Happy to se you chose to put new ones in, I also have those on my enduro thing, they are cool.
I also have always questioned the 203 and therefore bought a 200 simply because I like round numbers. 200 & 180 just feels better to say and I can use the same adapter front and rear.
finally a front tyre that doesnt look stupid
the thing with the rotors was they didnt need a mount or specific caliper to use just put em on the hub and wheel back on the bike the three mm made a huge difference on steep slopes
The bottom bracket seems to get too much away from the ground, maybe for more slow but tecnical trails should works fine
Andrew Major wrote a good piece on 200 vs 203mm rotors on Bikemag recently.
Time to order that Stash
from what I can see, that frame is a linkage driver single pivot or "faux bar" setup. Notice the rear pivot is on the seat stay above the rear axle not on the chainstay before the rear axle. Same setup as my older merida 140.
yeah i´m not sure but 203 might be a conversion from imperial to metric...did they do imperial measurements for rotors in the past?
Looking good 🤙🏾 looking forward to the ride video 💯
Be nice to see a Dropper post and angleset headset , another offset bushing in the upper eyelet would help with the bottom bracket hight also . Does the shock hit the frame on bottom out ?
I love cursed bikes. The more cursed the better
Ha I have a 203 on the front of my junker. It stops!
Liked that !!!
How many years is it that you were in the back of the bike shop doing videos ???
My favourite cycling channel....
Within 2 minutes of watching this video, I thought that you're thinking of another frame.....and you mentioned it with likes....Come on folks, get liking this.....!!!
I wanna see that thing at bike parks man, so cool
Why not see how an moto cross fork like from a kawasaki kx 80 mid wheeler feels on that bike? when I was a teen I swapped one of those forks on my ht mtb, it was so heavy but suddenly downhilling was a breeze as the whole bike was more lika a chopper after the operation. 203mm rotors are actully the more broader standard, I have those xt servro rotors on my ht rigit 26" xc bike at front.
It looks better imo. The cranks/chainring did the most, the shock a bit, the fork bot much if at all. Curious how it rides. The shock will make a huge difference i think
I love these videos! Thank you
13:30 - 1.5mm, obviously, and SRAM wanting to be different from the norm. Probably to keep the consistent +20mm size increments of PM brake adaptors, otherwise there is this weird progression of 140-160-203-220 because rotor sizes were 'determined' 20 years ago and they stuck.
Good job keep it rolling my friend
Better than my bike!
I was just talking about 203 rotors, customers bike came in; 20mm front thru axle/QR skewer rear!?! 26” aint dead its zombie
I just changed shock bushings on 2 bikes. Took out slop on both.
I think this bike would look so much better raw than with paint.
Looks half decent now 👌 need an updated ride vid for sure.. love your channel and content BTW, legend!
You could try to flip the shock over and run it with the reservoir facing up like my Norco Optic LOL. Have that Deore crank, good solid choice, heavy but it will last a lifetime.
More junk budget 😅
going directly towards the Status haha
thank you!
All others just said it: More upgrading content. I Think it's a nice bike for money. Have a good ride.
Those upgrades ARE absurd.
Absurdly good!
And I'm stoked to see 'em!
I'm curious what you think of that Dissector rear and I'm pumped to see you rip on this bike! Shorter reach? Higher bottom bracket? Sounds like you have yourself a bmx-inspired freeride bike right there!
p.s. Don't look now but GMBN is reporting that there are new "budge parts" being revealed by bigger brands at Sea Otter. Does that make you a influencer now? Looking forward to your TikTok dances out on the trails!
That FSA crank could, i reckon, take any 104mm N/W chainring. But I bet Eric knew that.
EDIT: that CC has an offset bushings - there is an opportunity to drop the BB a touch.
EDIT2: Run the CC upside down - should clear the bike without wasting the offset.
Can we get a followup/review of your time on the cursed FS TT bike after a few months?
I did enjoy it. Very much, indeed. Few things like bringing a bike back to orderly (-ish) condition. If it helps, I like the way it looks. To be fair, I know nothing about full suspension mountainbikes. So yeah…Cheers!
Okay, so I read the comments. 203 is 8 inches...but...I mean...what about every other rotor size. 200 is 7 & 7/8"...MAKE IT MAKE SENSE
Awsome content exactly what I like.
This content is GREAT!!!!
What no dropper swap?
At time of writing 656 likes and 4.2k views. Looks like its new bike day for you soon!!!!
I was hoping it would get a dropper hahah. Congrats on getting the likes - cant wait to see the Status.
Thats a clapped out pos 😅😅😅 but it turned out way better.
lovely
Order the specialized geo in a steel frame to uhhhhh.... expose the bike industry?
203mm is 8 inches... since MTBs are not metric
Maybe because 203mm is very, very close to 8 inches.
Still would love to have a bike like that lmao
This will upset you, and dare cross the algorithm. But I LOVE this content!
Man, this whole rotor size thing really triggers me.
Everybody...Stop buying new bikes to satisfy the MTB industry. It is a big behemoth industry that brings very little to the table. Fix your old bikes, and make them better with very little cost. It's a carrot on the stick industry and they move the stick as soon as you bite. Don't buy into the hype...there is very little ROI gain for dollar spent. 😎
MOAR ENGAGEMENT
bro says "crappy bikes" but his bike is better than anything ill ever have to spend on a mtb
Careful the piggy back thing doesn’t hit the downtube
Becaus 203mm is 8 inches and sram can justify selling you a 200mm rotor specifically for their lineup
Man, that shock is awesome. It's a DHX2 but the clickers work and it doesn't blow up every 3 months
Also, 203mm is just an 8" rotor described in metric
203 vs 200 is imperial vs metric. 203mm is 8 inches. Its dumb
Why not give it away to one of us when done with it?
Comment for the algorithm.
Click bait ;)
