Agree, the Wolf's sole purpose in life is make Tick's life a little harder.
lol i think its the other way around lol
LOL!!!! TOTALLY A DAD THING!! But Steve "YOU KNOW!" Has a great point as well:) I just edit those parts out!! HA HA HA
@@stephenbouck 100%!! Tell them Steve🤣. People always trip on me dealing with The Tick, that is until they spend time dealing with him themselves. All of his co-workers watch our videos and love it when I get on to him😂. Thanks for having my back buddy🥰👍.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS always man always
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS All us Dads can hear ourselves through your lecture... It reminds me of a few I have given my sons! Hahaha. Also reminds me of a many that I got from my dad. I think one was about leaving his tools out in the rain...
Need a women's budget bike build up, for the girls out there. Trying to get my wife into biking. Walmart got the new Schwinn Al Comp women's 27.5" tapered head tube, in stock right now for $224. Very nice for the price.
ps.. keep killing it, best mtb channel out there!
Do a search, a couple of channels have done mods on women's Al Comp
Man thank you so much for that statement:) Totally not an opinion!! HA HA Now that is not a bad idea, we have thought of it but fear a women bike would tank like the kids fragment did? But possibly an idea for this winter, really.
@WOLFTICK VIDEOS try using slime tubes, comes with its own sealant to seal in punctures in the tube
DEF!!!
Enjoy your dad , love him , honor him , defend him and make him feel special around you ; he is not gonna last forever and once they depart , you cannot bring him back . It happened to me with my old man .
Man I am glad I read this tonight, we are a little at each others throats at the moment, thanks.
The decal and the stem cap. Best upgrades!!! Glad that you had a spare because I was enjoying the ride. Wolf and Tick, I have the Epixon on my bike. Giving the Judy to my son. My humble opinion? Love the Epixon but the Judy is amazing at soaking up everything. The Epixon seems to have ESP at just the right moments. It gives when you really need it.
Man the Epixon is a winner! And what a gift to give to your boy!! Wow such a loving father:) LOL
Ahh, morning cup of ☕️ and some WT Ron Burgandy! Starting my Tuesday off right! 🙏 Wolfman “Judy likes to be used…” New classic wolftickism 😂.
HELL YEAH!! Thats how Tuesdays need to be started😆. wolftickism...DEF A SHIRT!
YESS another install and real-time review thank you guys so much!!!!
Lucas you are very welcome, hopefully you watched the entire thing:) NO FAST FORWARDING!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS of course not! The video was awesome
@Lucas Bright haha Thanks man👍
Great video. You guys crease me up.
So pleased the vinyl got used (as did Judy!)!
Thank you Maria- We plan on using each and every one of them!! It was a perfect match for that bike:) So glad we made your day and glad you are properly creased LOL- Judys Gonna Get Used!! See ya next time, thanks again. Oh and Tell John we have not forgot about the goods!! We plan on using them as an opener:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS that's great to hear. I will sort you some more vinyls soon, as healing well. But John has a long list first 😂
Appreciate feedback on them as only made them for John so far.
Nice to hear Maria, thanks and dont worry about John:P LOL
Wolf, you do your job well. A true professional. Shit talk is under appreciated and under valued.
Brakes, who needs brakes? They just slow you down;)
Haha thanks man. I used to be good at a lot of stuff, but now I'm only good at drinking and talking 💩. The best part about it is they go great together🤣.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS 😂🤣😂
Good morning guys. Love yalls videos still. Hope everything's going well. Love this bike
Everything is great man, thanks for asking and so happy you LOVE us!!
You should put one headset cup in at a time so that way they go in straight so you dont go all sidewerds
Was thinking the same thing and maybe a bigger spacer to cover the whole area of the headset
@@yardsalecycles or maybe a cheap bearing press?
yup
YES!! Thats a great idea, the Wolfman has said that before too/ dont know why dont do that?? I will though brother, thank you
@@chrishorbatt3504 I pick one up on ebay under $20
Hell yea! Been waiting for the realtime review
WELL!!! What did you think!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS they can do better on tires or breaks like you said, but i love seeing that ardor in action haha 😂
Fro sure man, the brakes have got to be stage #3!! Thanks Darryl, the bike is a MONSTER!!
Nice realtime review. Kudos to the camera man 🤣😂👍. Cant wait to get my hands on an Ardor! ✌🤟👍
LOL WOLFMAN SAYS THANKS !! See ya FRIDAY brother:)
hydro disc brakes and better tires setup tubeless and that thing is VERY capable. Nice job
COMING RIGHT UP!! LOL Needs some hydros for sure!!! Thanks andrewpm2
Great video! Might just have to pull the trigger on the Judy soon! Can’t wait for Friday, hope all is going well!
Man its all good! thanks for watching and the Judys are a steal right now! Get them while theyre hot:) LOL See ya Friday man, everything was a _________________ SHOW!!
Love it! PRB WDE Stage 2 was rippin up the trail!
Hahaha it was doing something. PRB WDE is certainly a mouth full ain't it. I think Jeremiah likes this bike as much as the GT right now. Thanks for all the love man🥰👍.
"Groove is in the heart" .....timeless classic. Hahaha
That one was for you🤣. I figured if you were watching you would have to comment on that one😁.
That was a perfect time to say that. Well done Wolftick!
@Martinez Family 🤣Thanks👍😎
Can't wait to see what them brakes do!
DUDE!!! ME EITHER!! HA HA HA THEY WERE________________!!!!!!!
Awesome video Jeremiah and wolfman
Thanks Willard:)
Great job fellows!
Hey thanks buddy🥰👍😆.
Bike looking really nice 😊wake bars are nice I like them .your dad does make me laugh but he is right about your headset 👍like the forks to
LOL You are now Dads favorite!! Or should I say favourite:)
I have a Schwinn boundary with the same issue as yours with the crown race being affixed to the fork. I'm changing my fork out to a bucklos 120mm and I'm going to have to replace the whole headset group out as well lol. thanks for the how to as far as taking it apart and putting everything back together! I was surprised to the my bearings were all there with no damage after 3 years of having the bike.
Wow that is funny man! So glad you got something out of the video:) Thanks for the comment and good luck on the install:) See ya TUESDAY!!
Hey guys!! Great build!! Had to do one my self for under $1000. Thanks!!
Awesome man! Thanks for the kind words🥰👍
😁👍 Nice upgrades, I like the grips and the 2 color combo you did it looks neat! Lucky you stopped and caught that rear flat in time it sure would have stunk if you wiped out again.
Man no SH**!! I am so happy as well:) Thanks brother and the bike is turning out great!! See ya Friday for a maltime and a realtime!
I'm ok. Are you ok?
Get well soon, Robert F.
HA HA We were both ok:) Yes! ROBERT FRAZIER-IN AND OUT MAN HIMSELF-GET WELL SOON!! Thanks El Capitan
“It got a lil slideways on me” 🤣
Ha ha WOLFTICKISMS!!
Man I love that bike haha I don’t know why but I love the looks of it. It looks so much better with the rockshox on there man haha!
Dude the bike is a WINNER! I love looking at it from afar, it looks totally like a dirt jumper!!
You've made Maria's day. 👍🤣
AWESOME:) WELL DESERVED!
would love to see u try out some budget triple clamp forks to see what u think.
keep up the good work looking forward to the next 1
Awesome man, we will see you then! I would love to try some as well:) There are a pretty good amount of cheapies out there???
I use the corki grips on my kids bikes. Cheap and hold up well. Rocks and tubes are worst enemies, I've just gone tubeless on everything after countless flats.
Man that is good to her they can last thru some kids! LOL And man if we were t run tubeless on all the build it would be an expensive undertaking!!! HA HA Only 23 bike deep!!
Glad to see the Rockshox back in action. The Diva bike is coming along nicely, that sticker looks factory and the grips set it off. Wolfdad is right, forcing things breaks stuff. #thingripguy
Man they are so fitted to this bike:) Diva bike is a great ride and need more!! DUDE #Thingripguy is our next shirt!! LOL
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I'd buy that shirt! I like thin grips on my MTB but prefer the foam/silicone grips on the road bike since they help soak up the smalls.
I bet you would!! You damn MOUNTAIN MAN!! LOL have never ridden with foam, is it like memory foam style??
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Hahaha. They are closed foam. Similar to what is on the tubing of exercise equipment. I'll get you a pair.
Gotcha:) Now I can imagine the feel:) Thanks dude, see ya FRIDAY were you make your WOLFTICK debut!!
Man you gotta set up the rest of your bikes tubeless too. I haven't had a flat since I switched last winter
No way man. Not worth the hassle or money in our opinion. Maybe if we had one or two bikes and no channel, then we could spend more money on doing it right, then maybe😉😆.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS it should only take about 15 to 20 minutes per wheel. Once you get the hang of taping clinched wheels, it's easy.
Man that would e ice to have it down to a T :)
Can't wait to see the review on those breaks . My gf needs an upgrade but doesn't want to spend a fortune on hydraulic
Ma these just might be up her alley!! See ya FRIDAY! Thanks S.I.A
Bit late this time around, sorry guys, works been crazy.
The Ardors looking great, makes me wonder why they're not specced like this from new, but then where we be the fun in that? 😂
Loved Wolfman "reminding" you about tools etc, that's what we call in the UK "getting a b0ll0cking" 😂😂😂
Great video as always gents, take care 🍺😎👍
Jeremiah, you need to get a bag of peanuts to throw to Wolfman since he's often commenting from the peanut gallery 🤣
Wolfman "Judy likes to be used " 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome upgrades to the Ardor! You gentlemen do budget upgrades and comparisons so well that I'd love to hear more of your opinions in each video about how that particular bike compares to other similar bikes in its class. Thanks for awesome videos and awesome Wolftick Nation!
🤣🤣😂😂 Totally need to throw em! Lol Ej thanks a bunch for the comment man, very damn funny! We shall see ya FRIDAY!!
Appreciate you sending it but go ahead and take it easy on that wrist till it's healed up. I too messed up my sealed bearing on my Jessica headset ( sorry Jason ) using a flat head screwdriver 🤦🏾♂️ I feel your pain. Great video 💪🏾💯
Man I am glad t still worked:) So dumb!! SORRY JASON FOR SURE:P Thanks Akiva
Haha Jeremiah getting in trouble! Good father son moment caught on camera
Man I felt a little lectured!! LOL It was needed though:)
I finally orders and got my hands on an ardor rode it sweet ride
Hell yeah man! Cannot wait for you to start upgrading!!
Gotta get one of those tubolito tubes for your oh-shit-pack. They're really compact. I keep a 27.5 tube. You can use it for 29s and 27.5s, works fine.
Really?? That sounds great + they are so freaking light!!!
“Real popular crash site for me” lol best comment ever haha
HA HA Man you would absolutely love the stuff that does not make the cut!! If we ever do a patreon it will be there!! HA HA Thanks Fran:)
Tick man I thought you worked at a body shop didn’t you learn how to use tools😇😆
Great video boys ! About the stem, you can alway shoot some black spray paint on her to spruce her up. Or whatever colour tickles your fancy.👍
LOL!!! Mn that was a low blow!! I did not say I was good at my JOB!! Now why on earth would we want to spray the stem?? LOL!!
Agree...when you have something like that between your legs, it's hard. Can't help but go crazy on it.
DAMN STRAIGHT!! MY MAN!! I JUST WISH IT WOULD LAST LONGER THEN 7 MINUTES!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS 😂 There is a bottle of blue pills with your name on it!
@MD Geist 😆😂🤣
Bike looks nice
IT IS SALTY!!!!
I've used those bars and the head they were just fine I used them on my motorized gas bike race frame
Nice:)
Haha! Wolfman sounds like the dad he is! Glad you ruled the trail today. Stage 3 brakes and tires? Those go together well.
Lol, for sure man well hopefully! They go together like chest and back day👍👍 Needs brakes BAD!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Oops stupid autocorrect keeps changing Wolfman to Wildman...
TOMATO TOMOTO!!
I'm starting to dig your videos more and more. Love these builds man. Can you give a more clear list of exactly what it cost to buy the components for each bike as well as the bike itself.
Absolutely:) Its funny man, we break sown the buys in the next Ardor video this TUESDAY LOL-See you then and let us know what you think please. IT is Stage #3 Thanks Brandon
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS You are very welcome. You are a very genuine spirit doing a great thing for fellow peoples. Stay humble and real. You've inspired me at 40 years of age to believe I can do it as a mtb beginner and dont need a 5k$ bike. I admire yall very much for showing integrity on your chosen path and daily choice to keep living the dream "for real". Blessings and good fortune to you both and this channel!
If I choose to start a career in the industry in some way it would be great if our paths cross again. 🤙🏽🤙🏽💪🏽💪🏽
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS funny bc I'm definetly in the right place at the right time if ya know what I mean!. I feel good things in the air on this path I am on and yours as well. I'll kit and look forward to sharing thoughts amd ideas.
Absolutely, thank you for the comment Brandon:) Its awesome to have a little something to do with your new found interest! Good luck and of you ever need anythigng please ask! Later brother
UNDERSTAND YA! See you Tuesday
Lol Judy likes to be used! I need Judy's digits! Definitely a Mahogany stem 😆 Seem kinda neutral on the tires, they're more for speed than grip, in my opinion. I've got that stem's lil sister on the Polygon Siskiu D7 "Good Golly Ms. Polly" it's blue and purple looks like Outer Space! I'm surprised you liked the grips Big J... They're like "really really fhin pancakes" 😉😆 I'm going to try some out, can't beat some good grips for $9.99! Those wheels really impressed me, they handled that Black 💎 like it was nothing
HA AH WE got you!! LOL HA HA Seen that stem and I love them both!! And dude def do try the grips brother! They are so comfy and you will dig them, later man! See ya FRIDAY!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS word will do 👀 you Friday brother
The thing with budget bikes is that once you invest in certain upgrades (drive train, wheelset, bars, brakes, etc) you can move them around to upgrade new big box model offerings as they come out. The key is to not spend more money than you could just buy a smokin' hot used big name bike for on the secondary market.
Agree man 👍
Ardor looking good with a nice aggressive geometry now! You ever think about going mullet on one of these builds?
Thanks man👍 Well we might just have a mullet in mind coming up in a few weeks. You probably will trip out😆.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS hell yeah, I'm looking forward to it!
Did you use a CO2 cartridge for that flat? Not really a fan of that frame but the bike looks ok . Another fantastic episode stay frosty brother
Did not an, those things are so f****** weird!! Not enough too much:) They will freeze your damn hand OFF! LOL Just a pump I had mounted on the bike. It is looking groovy! Thanks Poe and see ya FRIDAY!
I'm still waiting to see the monstrous GT pantera with the downhill forks! Lol that's a BEAST!
Ha ha!! Us too brother🤣🤣 Homeboy is a plumber and it is the busy season!! Lol soon soon!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS hahaha alright I understand, I hope its worth the wait cuz I'm really curious on how its going to look and perform.
For sure!! I feel ya man;)
Kamikaze baby….go hard or go home 🤘🤘🤘🤘always push out the innards never pull😆😆
ABSOLUTELY!!! YOU KNOW!! DIVA NEVER DIES!!
fork seems to run pretty nice on that bike, bummer you got a plat tire, great video
Thanks man, I am so sick of flat tires!! Lol
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS yeah same there really annoying
Not bad I like the way the bike is shaping up... May I recommend some Shimano mt 200 brakes and some Maxxis minions on a proper tubeless set of rims and I think that bike you will want for nothing... That shock looks like a RockShox Judy silver which means it has steel in it that's why it weighs so much and you didn't see a huge reduction in weight but bike weight doesn't do much to affect how fast you go except in the climb minimally... And with the tubeless set up you'll stop getting flats I remember when I first went tubeless the month's prior I was constantly getting flats I have even had situations where my tire sealant was completely dried up probably for months still never got a flat... But then again I ride in Florida and they do make limerock rock gardens here
Sorry 1 more thing your Rockshox Judy can probably be adjusted to 130 mm easy and because you are riding a hardtail i would recommend 2.6in tires (wider the tire the less air pressure and the softer the trail feels on your body the vibration is dampened by it) Maxxis minions have a soft rubber compound to greatly help with grip and stopping power.... Bro you ride hard please be safe couldn't comment on the other videos because I hate seeing you crash its nice you show your fails along with your wins but i hate seeing any crash... Budget MTB is awesome for 90% of people but... brother you are the 10% that needs a bike to handle your riding style and I can tell you want a bike that can handle what you truly want to do i put you on my Trail bike i promise you will send harder than you ever have before
Well man, we have a lot of the items or similar that you listed but this is a sub $1000 dollar build including the bike price so we can't just go crazy. We have a lot of experience with the MT-200 since we had them on the GT until we upgraded to the MT-420 and we like them but the price has gone up so high it would just blow the budget. We also have some 2.5 Minions that we reviewed a while back and we might end up using them at some point. We appreciate your concern but we have this budget channel because we like trying and reviewing budget stuff. Hopefully you wont be seeing anymore crashes for a while🤞🤷😆. Thanks for the support man👍🥰
Team Ron Burgundy!! it's hard to beat the Judy for the price, it's gone up a little but still a good deal
Man the affiliate link is still like $10 over what we originally got it for!! Crazy:) Not bad!
Dumb question but what size tapered fork am I going to need when I start building mine in a few weeks?
Next time you guy's get a bike with a Pro Rush Clutch derailleur you should try tightening the clutch, I've done it before on other derailleurs and it can help a lot.
Edit: Any derailleur with a clutch can be tightened up.
Gotcha man, it is something we def need to do:)
What upgrades would you make to the Rocky Mountain Fusion 30? I have changed the pedals to Fooker pedals, went tubeless, and added a dropper.
Well, I would of gotten some grips and may have looked at a fork??
6:23 Pro tip, always press one bearing cup at the time, to avoid it them going in skewed. That can easily happen. Always use grease.
You did a mistake and it happen just like knew it could, I keep warning people about this. But of course another reason for a cup to go in skewed is ovalized headtube if head tube was so weak it deformed, or if the headtube just has so bad tolerances. It's not a surprise if this frame has horrible tolerances. I had those issues with Trek, I had to use a hammer, cus it headtube was undersized at a spot. Stock headset was bit undersized made for bad tolerances but Chris King is perfection, so was so tight.
Really should never hammer it in headset cups, I jus thad to, but if headtube is not too tight and you have no reaming tool, you might need to, but on new a proper frame please don't do this you can damage the headtube if it's very skewed, mine was not that skewed, but had to help it with a hammer, until I could press it in flush.
Stock Vp components headset made for cane creek was super easy to knock out. B
YES SIR:) Thanks Johannes! Appreciate you getting my back!
I bought a set of Wake bars on eBay here in Australia a few years ago. They looked pretty good apart from all the print for angle adjustment being way off centre and crooked. They didn't stay on the bike for too long.
LOL Well man these are a little better:) Maybe you otta give them a chance?? CRIKEY!!!
I like the narrower bars on my fat bike but I might have to give them a try on my 29er. What about a Wolftick Nation stem cap? Are they available?
Man, the Nation Stem Caps are not available:( Atleast not yet....Hopefully soon though brother.
Do you feel the good vibrations?? Lol
CMON CMON!!!
I always had to run my RS air fork a little more pressure than suggested. 5-10psi
Man I wonder if the fork people been try them or if its a rule of thumb, it is weird us too. Maybe because we ride a little harder, most of the time:)
Another cool review. Not sure I like the spacers above the stem sticking up like a nub. I've seen other reviewers do the same thing and I figured it's because they don't want to cut the fork tub down in order to use it later on other frames. Is that it? If not, why shouldn't the stem be on top? BTW: Cats meow seems to have more radical jumps, while this trail seems to have more rocks. Which one is harder on the bikes?
spacers add a bit more adjustability to body setup: ie: lower for cross country(more aggro for attacking), higher for backpacking(more upright position ,;less aggressive). Myself i keep high because it reminds me of B.M.X... .
Exactly right, we just use all of our forks and want to keep them as universal as possible:) Learned that the hard way....Also in my opinion the stem being on the top keeps the feeling of being lower on the front tire and a true feeling at minimum, so I figure lower is better?? IDK??? LOL I would say the Cats meow is way more of a softer trail, it is way smoother and if you hit all things just right no problemo, but the hayes creek is so fast and rock gardens rule. A few natural features but all in all a great fork and brake review trail. We like it as well because you can review multiple things on it at once, it is a long 2.13 mile trail and gives you time to think, well sort of! The Cats meow is a fast and shorter trail which sometimes feels like I miss alot of the points I would like to make. But which do you prefer??
I like both trails. It’s rock gardens versus jumps from what I can see online.
Def true:) The rock gardens are NASTY!
Can you guys try the Koozer 490m wheelset? Apparently the hubs are good
Wasssup Doc b, got a link?
LOL JUDY LIKES TO BE USED!!! My Aunt Judy would beg to differ LMAO this had me rolling on the floor!!! I have nothing against cheap bars but i cant go cheap on a stem bc if your stem goes you're in the hospital. Dads right patience is a virtue got to slow down and do things right lol
Man I dont know, Judys sure are better when broken in!! LOL Very right on the patience man.....it gets me everytime:) Thanks Steve:)
You gotta stop blowing out those tubes man hahaha just proof the bike needs more upgrades so you can unlock it's full potential!
DEF!! Budget MTB appreciate ya brother, see ya Friday, we give you a couple shouts:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS awesome bro I cant wait!
Will you be adding a dropper to the ardor and the ledge
Yes, hopefully the Ardor will get one, if it will keep within the budget.
can u put maxxis rekon 2.6's on this beauty?
I would think you could man, it had a tiny bit of room with the original 2.6's
Where did you get the Monument trails tshirt?
Man we got it from the Mount Nebo visitors center, you dig?? Dont know f you can get one on the internet though??
Is this fork worth upgrading to from a suitor xcr 120mm
Oooh? Man I couldent tell ya? I would think not, these forks are a little heavy and the stanchions are only 30mm. I personally like Suntour stuff pretty good.
is the judy on the ardor temporarily or there forever
Well when you are a CZcamsr nothing is forever. We have to change stuff when we do different reviews of parts and stuff. The Judy's will be on there for the remainder of this build, and then we will probably change it out because of a fork review or something. Thanks Eugene
I get the backyard aspect of all thread and washers but maybe you need a $30 bearing press?
Just might Chris, gotta talk the Wolf into it:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS dont buy one yet
@Chris Horbatt Hahaha do I smell something brewing🤣?
Do you take the rebound key out?
Sure do! Just don't see a good reason to risk loosing it. We enjoyed the picture of young Noah and his accomplishment.👍👍
I install all my head headset cups with a block of wood. I don’t even use the hammer and block. Just whack it in with the wood block. Park Tool BOW-1…hahahahahahaha
Park Tool WHO!!! LOL
odfly enough i remember when the judy only had the taper shox in stock now they only have the straight steer i have a 29 tapered steer judy on ny trek
idk if my treks judy has a tapered adapter or it comes that way but i know i cant find them to purchase
i only see them in staight steer
is judy nice fork?is it good on small bumps?
Not a bad fork man, a little heavy but all in all it is tough.
14:00 yeah, those bars are great, I have them a over. Although I can make them creek a bit, but again I'm about 60lbs heavier than you, lol
Man try some fiber grip! It quiets things down soooo much!!
Hey tick , wat was ur tire change time ,
Man it was a lot longer than it needed to be-heres the reason....I actually had a pump on the bike that I had only used for schrader, it listed presta so I thought, what the hell? Once I got the flat I pulled the pump out and went to fill the tire and could not figure out the presta style!! The innerds had to be pulled out and strategically changed and stacked!! LOL It was a damn mess brother, but other than that I am generally pretty quick, I would say 6-8min?? Sound about right? Also great question!
Hey dudes let me ask you a question. They was supposed to do an Ardor X2 but I haven't heard a peep out of it. Any word on your end of an Ardor X2?
I don't know if we have ever seen the Ardor X2. I wonder if it would be like the Ledge X2.
Yeah I had heard it would be a better equipped version like Ledge X2. Thanks.
Can u review the mongoose Durham
After we get caught up with all of our projects, we might consider it. Thanks man
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS yup
Hey did you guys see the himalo frame they had on aliexpress? look pretty good do you think its budget?
Ive been looking at that frame, cause it comes in different sizes. It is heavy, though, like 8lbs.
Personally I wouldn't buy any frame from aliexpress because if anything is wrong itll be a huge hassle returning it
@@chrishorbatt3504 8 lbs isn't that bad is it for 190 mm of rear travel
Not yet, we may take a looksy though!! Thanks DaddyBigBoxers!
@@munchiejordan1 i am looking at a GT full suspension frameon ebay, there willing to take same $500 and its around 6lbs. A good hardtail frame is under 4lbs
Do you think you can get the bike under 30 pounds for under 1k?
Man I dont think so. Unless we removed the fork and got a cheaper one?? Maybe still 30.??
See I said the headset bearing when you wrecked it the first time
LOL
Hay Guys! What's up? I thought you were doing the Tee shirt video today ? WTF? Anyway.... have a good day!
STEVE!! YOU WILL BE FEATURED LOL FRIDAY!!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I love you guy's!
@Steve Barnett hopefully you still feel that way after Friday🤣👍🥰.
Whats the head tube angle on that? Looks pretty slack
Love that top tube sticker!
Also, recommend changing out tires to Michelin Wild ENDURO AM tires. Super grippy and good ratings. Up there with Maxxis tires, but not as expensive.
STICKER IS PERFECTO!!
Dude not too sire, not really us but would love to measure the angle!!
3:04 only ogs remember that name. haven't heard that name in a while besides when will that bike return. what happened with the sidewinder the boundary and the two ozone bikes
LOL For sure, you are def an OG!! VILLOTTI BABY!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS what ahopened with the achwinn sidrwinder and the boundary. Why did you stop makinf content on them. Same with the two oxone bike

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I'm glad you had a perfect run on there other than the flat tire and no accident peace be safe have a good night see you in the next video
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS 🚴😆❤️
YES!! HA HA
:)
Take some penicillin after handling that stem please! It looks like it's caught some nasty venereal bug.
I don't recommend using antibiotics frivolously, but this seems like a legit health risk to me.
LOL!!! Def looks like it can be CONTAGIOUS!!!
I have never been a fan of the newer Judy's . Hope you get brakes on that thing before you do a "Tick of the Jungle" "No brakes" Watch out for that tree! Lol
HA HA HA!! Might be the Stage #3 UPGRADE!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Umm. That should be stage 1! Lol.
5:00 the tool should be inserted with the hammering side so the fin spread should be bigger than the bearing. And the find should squeeze tru the headset bearing, and seat. I have the proper tool. I see you already damaged your home made tool. Not sure how, but not a surprise. Keep in mind a proper tool has the right thickness length and correct material to be used for years or decades.
Man it def needs to be better dne, I totally need to do it separately or get the right tool!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS proper tool will make it easier and faster but I don't think it's the reason for missaligment. Unless what you used to press the bearings in was too small, it should cover the whole cup. If you get a press I reccomend to get one with quicktelease system, so you don't have to pretread and unthread.
May look into that, thanks!
Do you have a bike scrap yard out in the back 40 of your property? Lmao!
HA HA YEP! Thats were the Stem came from!! LOL
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS You really don't like that huge billet aluminum stem eh? Look on Amazon. EC90 has a nice carbon fiber/aluminum one for cheap. I think my carbon bars were like 35$ and like 800mm. Had to cut them.
Not a bad idea:)
Y'all need a Netflix show.
the 1000 dollar shock tgats 172 bux
Hmmmm?? What do you mean??
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS i feel like its. great shock for the value
Sure is for $169
I love the wake bars not so much the stem though. The stem is durable I just don’t like the look.
I feel the same way jgbike has come out with a stem for the same price that looks alot better
Man that STEM is MONEY$$$$ LOL
Front tube caused crash in last vid now rear tube flat ... ready to stick to Tubeless yet ? 🤣
😂Nope not yet🤣. Got to have a better budget to try again. Not worth it on a tight budget. Thanks man👍
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Cut the valves out of an old tube, tape up the rim with gorilla tape and your all good!
@OktaFierce well we would still have to factor the tape we bought $15 plus the sealant $16-$20 and don't forget tubeless ready tires $$? it all adds up quickly. We have $1000 dollar budget on this bike and we aren't going to have enough to do what we want as it is. We did try to do a ghetto tubeless setup a few years ago just like you put and it was a major fail. We tried without proper tires and sealant was leaking through the sidewalls. We appreciate the advice but I'm not sure if you know about our budget. Thanks man👍
FYI, it's pronounced V-Moot-Sop
GOTCHA:)
Also REMOVE THE MONGOOSE STICKER lol
NOPE!!!! Gotta get a WOLFTICK sticker FIRST!!
Pipe cutter 14 bucks.
To anyone out there using this bike in this manner. DO NOT PUT A ROCK SHOX JUDY ON A TRAIL BIKE MEANT FOR DOWNHILL. Even a Judy gold has 30mm stanchions and 120mm maximum travel. We are already in the age of 34mm upper stanchion diameter and 140mm travel for BUDGET FORKS. The DAMPERS are larger as well, and retain more hydraulic fluid. Judys in 2021 are XC based trail forks that simply are NOWHERE NEAR Suntours Epixon performance level for XC trail riding in the budget category. Judys gold are 458 bucks worth of RIPOFF if you know budget fork prices. Old Judys are legendary because EVERYONE HAD THEM, and the Marzocchis COST TOO MUCH AT THE TIME. By todays standards, BOTH WERE COMPLETE JOKES for hardcore trail forks. Get what you want, but this style of bike REQUIRES a different standard of fork in 2021.
The Judy's ain't bad for $169.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Judy's are XC trail and not all mountain.
@Thiosemicarbizide Benzoyl Alcohol You are correct. Is someone claiming otherwise? I have not read any comments on here that I can remember that claim it to be anything other than a good value XC fork at $169 dollars.
