Still think you all should do a market place find to upgrade ... show people they don't have to go new and used can work well.
We may check into that man, but now new bikes are all fixing to come out so get ready X!! It's gonna be a great season, but who knows!! Word had it there just may be a tandem for sale around us!!!!
You mean the Boundary didn't win!?!? This is a conspiracy! 😂🤣 Can't wait to get my hands on an Ardor! Love to see you two gentlemen still growing in subscribers and awesome content!
HA ha ha!! It needs to make a comeback! Appreciate the awesome comment man, much love and we will see you on the next, MAILTIME AND TIME TRIAL!!
WHAT???? GT is the Holy Grail of bikes and there is nothing worthy of being mentioned in the same video!!! Lol. I am almost finished building mine and plan to buy you guys some coffee and submitting photos once it’s complete. Teaser- has a Luna Off-road 1500 Bafang mid drive. Keep up the great work guys..
LOL!! Man let me tell you, we'll you watched!! HA ha now the Gt until the axu. Would of been, but I love the axum dp! Get that job finished and we look forward to the pics! Thanks for the comment brother.
I like all of them, except maybe the axum dp, damn thing looks like Spiderman's underwear. Everyone already knows which one I'm partial to. I'm really looking forward to seeing how that tennis ball does bouncing down the trail. Keep shredding that shxt😎🤙
😂😂🤣🤣 Man don't knock my axum now!! LOL Now hopefully come Friday balls will be bouncing!!!
The Compzerker rules but you gotta mullet it to get the Stand over down and slacken it. Then it really comes alive!!!
@@TheCaptainsCog maybe I should build one🤔
Erase the decals, put some personalized ones, it would look bad a$$
@@BerserkerNick I think you already did!
So awesome the ascension made one of your favorite. I love mine! The memories I had to get it was awesome the wife and kids went and I had seen mine like the week before but didn’t get it that day and when I went back to get it a week later it was still there waiting for me 😂 keep up the awesome videos guys!!
Thanks man, our story is a big part of it too! Very cool you've got it and you kucked out with it still there!! LOL
Ayyye! Working a hula popper getting some top water action in! I dig the little fishing clip thrown in, good stuff. Great video as always, Thanks guys
🤣🤣 I love the comment man, thank you!! Tried to fish that episode but it was cold as hell!! LOL Thanks man appreciate the comment.
Ardor #1 for sure. It's a budget gem. Especially the way you guys set it up.
THANK YOU!! The second dude to agree!! LOL Apprexiate ya brother.
What about the Boundary! 🤣
Just kidding. Love y'alls videos! Keep em coming. Oh, and love the new intro....."get off my hand" 🤣
😂😂 Thanks brother, now the Boundary is not bad, atleast you did not say the scout!! LOL
I bought my GT almost a year ago. I like the bike but after upgrading it and learning so much more about bikes and how to upgrade them I think a better purchase for me would have been the Axum or Ardor. I like the GT brand and have full confidence in the strength of the frame but the 34mm straight headtube really kills me. Had I known anything about headtubes and choosing forks I would have gone with a different bike. And honestly with the amount of money I put into the bike I could have just bought something nicer all together like a Roscoe, polygon, etc. Not to mention every time I ride the GT I see more and more how it's really meant for XC, which is what it is advertised as. That being said, I definitely learned a lot about building bikes to fit the type of riding I do from tinkering with the GT. I just wish I looked into some other options before I purchased the GT. But hey, you don't know what you don't know.
Completely feel ya man, but it's always good to get started on something like that and get your bearings!! Thanks for the comment
I'm in the same exact boat that you're in. I also have a GT Aggressor Pro and upgraded almost everything on it, thanks mostley to this single channel (all i have left to upgrade is the wheelset) but I just bought a new fork for it the Rockshox Recon RL and looking at it now, I wish I had gone with the Mongoose Ardor, if it was available with an XL frame, which it isn't. Right now I'm looking into just buying a new frame with a tapered headtube, I'm probably gonna go with a NukeProof frame, which can be had for around $450. I'll probably pull the trigger on that in spring or summer.
Great vid as allwas,keep up the great work
Much love Tim, see ya Friday man.
You guys are fun to watch!
Thanks brother, glad you found us!
Great videos 👍👍👍👍
Lol Thank you sir, glad you checked it👍👍👍
Hardtails is where it's at! Finally starting to warm up around here. Gotta get back on the bike soon!
HELL YEAH!! Get out man, and very nice to see ya around brother, it's been a while!! I am sure it's a little icy there too🥺🥺
Greatest opening ever!!! Grandma we love you 💯💪🏾 another awesome video guys. I for sure thought it would have been 1 GT Aggressor 2 berserker comp 3 Ardor and so on, man I was WRONG on that. Looking forward to the next one 🤙🏾
Man you are her favorite!! LOL Glad you gave me a list, interesting.....Hope to see ya tomorrow brother, good luck and have a great weekend.
Revisiting this video, you mentioned the small cockpit on the AL Comp. With the 27.5 wheels and short length, I find that bike very maneuverable, which makes my Axum DP feel like a station wagon on the turns compared to a sports car. I'm thinking of upgrading it and using it more since my son never took to it.
I love that honorable mention!! i have a 1000w mid drive on my dolomite and Its the most fun I’ve had since i was a kid. The fat tires sound like a tie fighter going 35mph 😂
Man I love the way the tires sound on the road!! But I would love to ride your dolomite, one day we will get a hold of you on an ebike mid drive build!!
Fellas!! Well done. When I saw the title I said to my self Ardor better be #1.
I ride a custom Ragley BigAl but I got an Ardor for my son and threw everything away but the frame rims(tossed the terrible hubs). Now built with an xfusion fork, dropper post , AdventX 1x10, a little Oil Slick here and there😎😎😎. Your initial run breaking records in stock form sent me running to get the thing for a project . 😁
Hell yeah man! That's great to know, the Ardor as you know ow is a great platform and man oh man is it fun. Sounds like you are doing it right!! #ARDORLIFE
Really like the pudgie Bike , great vid , I've watched all your stuff but man great for reference 👍 ☘🙏
Well thank you for watching and that's what we are here for. Appreciate the view and comment 👌
Yes boys! great video! from what I gather based on the information that you just told us, you like the Ron Burgundy the best because it fits you and you style the best. And that is a very important factor when doing stupid shit LOL!!!! Cheers and have a great week.
😂😂 Stupid 💩 is Def my style!! LOL Thanks brother
The Ardor (even though I do not own one) seems like such a great platform. The bones and geo are so spot on with newer styled bikes. It is definitely impressive at the price!
I already miss mine :(
@@keosoutdooradventures I have been so torn on buying one lol
Man it really is, just talked with another guy about your fat bike video! They just make you wanna laugh! Thanks Chicken Sendies 🐔
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS HAHAHAHA Gotta love the fat bike!!! 😁😁😁
Tick can definitely handle a 29er. But I don't know when they'll come out with a budget small frame from Walmart on a bike.
Thank you!! Wolfman says I am too insecure to ride a small frame!🤣🤣😂😂🤬
New sub here.
Also just got an Ardor myself a couple months ago. Ain't been on a bike in over a decade, but for a wally-world bike, it was very impressive for what it is.
Now that I've seen this channel and what ya'll done with it, I'm even more satisfied with my purchase.
Already changed out seat, grips, pedals and xtech cable/hydro brakes.
Next is either a wheelset or hubs. Not sure what will be the best bang for the buck yet.
Man, thanks for finding us! Welcome to the #wolfticknation 👍 Awesome you are getting back on the pony man, the Ardor is an awesome one to jump back on. Be sure and checkout the patreon Ardor
My favorite is definitely the Axum I just love the ride quality and looks
Man when we meet up this summer, I cannot wait for you to ride her again! New brakes and the chainring will be fixed with a narrow wide. See ya soon brother
Last! For now;)
Sorry I can't hate on your list but I'd switch spots 2 & 1. I'm more sorry that most of your choices look like kid's bikes to me because I started riding large frames at like 12 or 13 years old.
Loved your honorable mention. I just got a Mongoose Dolomite ALX (pretty much the same but aluminum, 8 speed cassette & trigger shifters). Indirectly I have you to thank, for suggesting Chicken Sendies who also giggled like crazy while reviewing his ALX. Wasn't sure I'd like no suspension but fat bikes are fun! I can't wait to put a motor on it so I can get out of my immediate neighborhood without having to put it in the car. Your Malus with a mid-drive would make a beast of a hunting/fishing bike (would blow the wheels off Wolf's Himiway).
I love the way you think! Thay Chicken Sendies video was fun, I laughed as well! You cannot help but smile while on that bike, thanks man!!
I enjoyed your video, but i just wish you had tryed the Polygon Cascade. I paid $525 with hydrolic brakes, cassette, 27.5, Suntour fork. If I wasn't so far away I would try and talk you into riding mine! My friend bought a Aggressor pro and I am really impressed with it(other than the 35mm headset)
I have teh Polygon Siskui N9 enduro bike and they make an epic budget bike with non budget parts.
That would be nice to see something like that
Thanks Chris, that seems like a deal for the price man, we may look into polygons...Who knows!!
Polygon premier 5 is better 120mm fork and it's built well
Great video. I knew you were going to pick the Mongoose Ardor. It fits you like a glove.
Thanks Lebron, that bike is a winner man, but the axum dp is sweet too!! I feel the list was correct👍👍you are the third person who agrees with the Ardor too
I understand why it’s number 1 your fishing bike I love kayak fishing I understand great video 🦊💪🏻👽
Thanks Sam, the Malus is awesome!! The Ardor is freaking sweet on the trails and the Malus is my camping buddy!
Can't argue with the list, but owning a GT and upgrading it as I went was the choice for me. Got it for $299 to start and now close to 1k with all the updates. I'll have to do a bike check to see what everyone thinks. Great job wolftick
Thanks brother, no problem learning and growing both as a rider and a mechanic! LOL I always will love the GT it is a great foundation and 3 out of 26 is not bad! Ha Ha
can you post a pic on imgur and share it. I'd love to see it. i also have a highly upgraded Aggressor Pro.
priced literally doubled
Great video guys :-) You should take a look for the ghost Kato or the Orbea MX 50. Very budget but with nice breaks and stuff. My wife and I ride them with lots of fun. For a very small budget they are great 🙂
I world love a total cos for the alumni with upgrades on
Man we would too, we figured 1200ish...
I’m not surprised on your number 1 but I really thought the GT would be your number 2 😢 lol…. I’m partial to the GT because that’s what I ride. Another great video guys!
🤘🤘 Man appreciate you not hating!! LOL See ya on the next one fake snake!!
Well hands down it had to be Mr Burgundy! As a GT owner I think we was robbed for the 2nd spot but I’ve never ridden the Aggressor. I would love to see Tick on a small 27.5 Avalanche! Maybe a good used purchase? Growing up as a kid in BMX era I have a bigger affinity and loyalty to the GT and Mongoose brands. I have never connected with the Schwinn brand and wouldn’t buy one but I have to admit they have done a lot to advance the out of the box technology showing up in big box brands. Cheers you two for another great vid!
Well good write up, I would not mind a small frame but i I worry about being too big. I don't know maybe i I crazy! Wolfman says I have an insecurity LOL. And yes, schwinn has had a huge hand in technology.
Grandma to the rescue!
Great rundown, different to my listing but you've got a much better view on the bikes because you actually ride them (I'd never fit on one of them small ass bikes 😂😂). I can see why you put them in that order though 👍. I'm not one for geometry, but it seems the newer bikes or higher up, maybe there's something in that?
Take care guys, looking forward to the next video 🍺😎👍
You know DN, the newer bikes do have more slack and I believe better geo too. I like that you pointed that out, it makes sense. That plus SCIENCE of course 😂😂 Also Grandma is the best! LOL
Love my medium axum dp. Your video is the reason i bought it. And if i was to go 27.5 it would be the ardor. Full squish i would go ledge x1.
Hell yeah man, that's awesome. The axum dp Is LEGIT!!
No suprise. Ron Burgundy. Great geometry. Nice honorable mention. That one was new to me. Great work
Thanks John, glad you enjoyed and the Ardor is freaking sweet!!
when someone asks me where to start fir an entry level, i tell them to watch your channel
Well thank you brother, that is awesome to hear and we both thank you for the comment!
Thanks guys, this video helped me to narrow it down to 2 bikes: the Ardor and the Grit (gravel) I know it might be of topic for you but I’m still deciding if trails or gravel…
Trails!!! 🤣🤣 But gravel is more available...
I know I am coming in a little late on this video (like a whole year) and that's because I only started watching your videos this past spring and summer, anyway I am surprised that the GT was not number 1. I am happy the Ardor got placed because that is a great bike. I have the women's Aluminum Comp that I have done some budget upgrades.
You know what my pick is. GT
SHOCKER!!!!!😂😂
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS LOL!!! But to be fair, I haven't been on any of the other bikes.
Groovy episode. Very informative. I'm just not a fan of your number one bike. Obviously I've never ridden it but the look leaves something to be desired.. very fun video.
Stay frosty brother 😘
Love the comment man, thanks for the love PEACE THUNDERLUNGS!!
I snagged my aggressor for $330 when DSG had them on clearance back in 2019 that bike led me to your channel. It hurts to not be first but I understand why. I'm surprised yall didn't mention the straight steerer as a negative on it haha. It's a great bike and I still love the blue color. Wish it was tapered and thru axle. Then it'd be perfect (wish I could get my hands on a modern Zaskar frame in the future if I build another hardtail. Also! Planet cyclery has this sweet deal on some WTB thin lock on grips ($5) snagged 3 pairs.
Man those were the days!!LOL, appreciate the comment and the EMAIL!!
Lol been waiting for this video lol next time we need a scientific break down by wolf dad lol i need my numbers and charts
🤣🤣 Man everyone always asks and finally we got it out!! So happy you enjoyed and more science and numbers for Fridays video....POSSIBLY?? YOU KNOW!
I love my GT Aggressor Pro but I do wish it had a tapered head tube. If I had to do it over again, I would have found a used bike in the same price range with a tapered head tube.
That's understandable, but if you want more slack then yes but a 44 would be fine to to give more options👍 it is a little steep right now.
We are being spoilt now 🤣😉
🤣Thanks man👍
Long live the Aggressor Pro!
Much like yours, the only thing still original on mine is the frame.
🤣🤣 Man it is too easy to get that upgrade bug! LOL
I think all the bikes are great that you demo
Man there are some winners and only a few busts!! LOL
I'm 6'1 and i love it.but i put 29er wheels on mine and works great
Which one???
Your dad is the best part of the video 💪🏻🚴🦊
You are his favorite too🥺🥺
I pulled the trigger for my first mtb and ordered a framed rendal alloy XL. Came with hydraulic disc brakes and cables ran in the frame for 500. Should ne a good learner
Really should be man! Awesome you got a frame with internals, be careful and take your time when you start cutting cables!! Good luck brother👍👍
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS keep the good content coming! You guys are awesome!
Lol, not a shocker at all. I ride an axum and just recently put out a video on it, getting ready to replace pretty much everything on it.
👍 Axums are Sweet!!! Gotta check yours out
My favorite is my 2020 Schwinn Boundary, also because it's the only one I have right now, LOL.
Hey man Rock what you Got!! Ain't a damn thing wrong with that!! The Boundary has its upsides too!!
I'm 100% with you on the GT Aggressor Pro. I love mine but the one huge thing that's holding it back is the lack of a tapered headtube. Right now I'm looking into buying a new frame because of that. Straight steerer tube air forks are basically phased out with just maybe 3 or 4 high quality name brand air forks out there. At this point really every bike that costs more then $400 (I paid $479.99 in march 2021) should have a tapered head tube.
Agree, that and a cassette!!
You can get a conversion headset that gives you the larger bottom bearing. I assume your complaint is related to the small amount of straight steerer forks lately?
@Kenneth Harrod That's the problem. All of the Cane Creek and other adapters are based on 44mm and maybe a 40mm head tube but none for the GT's 34mm head tube.
Got it, I was thinking about the ones that went from internal cup straight steerer to an external cup 1.5" tapered. Forgot GT was the little external cup bottom headset bearing
For those unable to find the AL Comp, the Mongoose Spire at Academy seems to be the same bike/different name. Has grip shifters you’ll want to swap, but has QR front/back.
Nice, I like it but thought it was a women's bike??
They have a men’s and women’s version
I would love to know what you both think of the High Schwinn timber ALX 27.5 . Obviously a video would be pretty nice. It's nothing special. But I took up mountain biking last summer and I enjoy this bike. Going to upgrade it buget friendly!
Thanks. Love channel!
Thank you Ashley, that sounds like an interesting bike. We need to take a look at it and see of it may be a possibility. Appreciate you watching and hope you keep on with mountain biking 🤘
I think you guys should try to go tubeless on the malus to save weight, and take one of the 1x drivetrains of one of the schwinns or mongooses to get lower gearing.
Now the gearing idea I like, it is a little heavy but really, the tubeless thing is not a bad idea. The fork is a big part of the weight too, I would not know were to start with the tubeless stuff! That's a whole lotta SEALENT!!🤣🤣😂
Big surprise coming up::::::::: my favorite is the Schwinn Axum. I'm 6" at 200lb, the Axum fits me so well I was able to do a rocky tech uphill section that I wasn't able to do with 3 other bikes including a Santa Cruz Bronson. Did I mention the L-Twoo drivetrain and the other upgrades?
I have a hard time determining the size of a bike with just the seat tube length, the stack or the reach. Of the 5 bikes that I ride or recently rode, my "medium 18", Motobecane is the most comfortable to ride. I took the stack X reach and divided by 30,000 to give be a number under 10. The Moto was 8.55 the Axum 9.92. Two of my other bikes were 8.66 (sold as a large) and 9.46 (also a large). Under 10 is good for me, under 9 is gooder. At 76 I am done purchasing bikes, but I would use my RxS method on any future purchases like an ebike. The 2005 Specialized that I had felt too small. Unfortunately, I lost the data on it.
As long as you are just hanging around waiting for better weather or the price of gas to go down, please do the RxS /30,000 on your two e bikes. xxxooo Bob
Live the comment man and yes, shocker!! LOL Also man that's a little too much math for me!! Not too sure about all that noise!!! LOL
You guys should do a top 3 full suspensions now, don’t know how many full suspensions you’ve had enough to rank the top 3, I’m guessing the ledge would be 🥇
You are right. The Ledge would definitely be numero uno if we did a full suspension list. I think we are currently at 4 or 5 full squish bikes at the moment. Maybe one day we will rank our favorites. Thanks man👍
Great video as always! Bike preference is a personal choice and since probably no one here has ridden all the bikes you have, no one can say bike x is better than a/b/c.
Gotcha! Now although opinion based you are right, it still is fun to argue😉 I would like to know your list, from bike 1 to however many you have now.. mine sometimes changes but I think this is a pretty good write up.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I've never ridden any though (parking lot doesn't count) so I don't have any opinions on them. I do remember you saying that you could ride the Ronburgandy every day, so I figured it would be #1. Plus, according to my tech-other-half, it has more "modern geometry " which would make sense that you like it.
Hi Aunt Lena! :)
💯💯💯 She loves making cameos!! 🎥📸
Hey guys awesome videos! Would love to see ya'll take on a ozone 500 elevate 27.5 budget build!
Man we may need need take a look, thanks for the idea!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS yeah that would be awesome! Especially that the going for 50% at academy right now too!
I love all of your guys videos..been watching for a while now ..and really want to get a bike. I'm just wondering what you think would be good for a 6ft 210lbs 30year old
Man your a big oll boy, nownyou are just in luck! The Honorable mwntion in this video was the Malus, that bike is a freaking blast and Wolfman is 6ft 4 and it fits him. It's beefy, it's BAD and it's big oll boy approved! Take a look at it man, Academy
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS thank you so much I'll look into it. Keep up the awesome videos
Would like to see you review the new Ozone 500 Gira terrano. I just got one to ride with my wife and daughter and have been wanting to upgrade it to a 1x to start getting into trail riding. Has a lot of nice features for the price.
Man that sounds familiar, we gotta take a look. Thanks for the info and you may see it 👍
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS awesome I’ll be looking for it! Just found your channel and really enjoying your videos. Definitely make it entertaining 👍🏻
Hey can we get a real time review of that band aid?!?!? Lmao
😂😂🤣🤣 HA ha you can find affiliate links below!! LOL
Man I was close. But you are right about the GT head tube size and seat post size, it’s hard to find a wide selection of parts. Especially with all the tapered forks out there. One question for you, was that a funnel cloud at the 16:16 mark where you were fishing? That was wicked!
Oh man, you noticed!! LOL That is actually Arkansas 1, it is a nuclear REACTOR!! Very cool huh? That's why I fish there, all the big fish! It's on lake Dardanelle which is the arkansas river. Of you ever come out we are going to have to ride mt nebos Chickala loop, it has a bluff that oversees the entire operation, it is beautiful!! Funny fact, Wolfman is SUPER freaked out by them!!! ☢☢☢☢☢☢☢☢☢☢☢☢☢☢☢☢
No surprise here. I hope for more good budget options out there, so far all stock bikes were bad spec, I hope better options come. But not looked into this.
Just wait till tomorrow's video!!
Check out the Mongoose Argus Trail. You will forget about the Malus.
🤔🤔😳
Liked the video. No comment on the list as I only have 1 of the bikes and it's opinion based anyways.
I bet if you did an auction or maybe a raffle for the older bikes you could get quite a bit of revenue for the channel.
Or possibly finding a local kid who can't afford a decent bike. Have them "volunteer" to help w maintenance at the Cats Meow or similar and surprise them w a bike?
That's a great idea, we have thought about that other a bike or two. Especially. Kid who does not get out much or cannot afford one, let's see what happens. Thanks for the comment man.
Nice top 5! I am old and all shot now so I like duel suspension now!
LOL So your the thumbs down guy!!🤣🤣🤣
i love my gt Aggressor im think of upping to the Avalanche
The Aggressor is great. I hear good things about the Avalanche as well.
I just got a Schwinn Boundary for $100 new from Walmart. Tweaked the shifting so it's not throwing the chain going into 7th speed until I can upgrade the groupset. Took some adjustments and adding tension to the arm of the derailleur. Already ordered Clark's Clout-1 brakes for $60 with a 180mm front rotor. Just gotta figure out how to cheaply get it to solid axle with better forks and a better groupset.
Hell yeah man, that sounds awesome!! The Boundary is a sweet bike and we need to bring ours back out!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I'm new to Wolftick nation but enjoying the budget build ideas and realtime reviews of products. Any suggestions on a tapered fork for the boundary? Thinking I would like to go solid axle too but that opens a can of worms as the hubs and groupset would have to be replaced too I think. I like jumping stuff and I fear the skewers just won't cut it. Might also have to find someone local that is equipped to weld aluminum so the rear dropouts could be closed up for a solid axle. Thoughts? Like the bike so far.
@Chris Reed Welcome to the #wolfticknation You can take a look at these, but they are a little bit more. We have tested a few 29er tapered forks with 15mm thru axle but most are over the $200 dollar mark.
czcams.com/video/MbLN2nlo6oQ/video.html
You can also look at this one, it might work.

You guys need to review the Diamondback Motown
Man gotta look it up, we had tried to buy a diamondback multiple times but they are always out of stock.. but we will look into it
They're $268 right now. I've had a hard time finding an al comp. Found one yesterday at Walmart in a box, got it home and started assembling only to find out that the fork was jigged up wrong at the factory and welded crooked. Must've been the last fork welded on a Friday before quitting time. Currently waiting on one to be delivered and hopefully the first was a fluke
Hope so brother, that's a shame but hopefully they take care of ya👍
I love my Malus . . .
Man that thing is SWEET!!
Have you guys reviewed the Nishiki Colorado Comp? a 27.5+
You ain't first your last.
Put a "got" sticker on there. 😆
🏆🥇👍
i put 29er wheels on my ardor x1...seen in on a on youtube 20 i did it
Really???
Glad the Axum made the list
You like that spanish!! Ja ja
@WOLFTICK VIDEOS lol, I did had something to say however. Cuatro, you were probably thinking about audi, lol
@MTB Alex hahaha I don't want to insult Audi. Who knows what goes through The Ticks head. I asked him if he was going to fix it before we uploaded it and he said no, because you would enjoy it.🤣
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS lol, I'm sure he did
Hard Tail….sounds like a porno….Wolfman used to probably do some filming back in the day ehh
Hahahaha😀😀😀👍👍👍
I think WOLFMAN was in that one!! 🤣🤣🤣😂 you are too damn funny, oh no a mental picture!! LOL
Fuji Nevada 1.7 $699 my ride , it's great
Hmmm......Gotta look it up man, thanks for the comment! Fuji? Hmmm
I like my polygon premier 5 does the job I ask it to granted we have ice and snow still
Man that's a bummer, I feel ya brother. Hang in there!! 🦥
Unless I missed it have you ever considered a mongoose dolomite alx? I know it ls out of your normal price range but might be worth it if you really like the fat tire.
Oh come on the Mongoose dirt jumper have you checked it out
Checked it off the list man, it's a little chincy looking. Not too sure!!
I saw all the names on the table it was just a matter of finding the order
👍
I have two gt aggressor bikes. One is a small frame and one is an XL frame. I am 5 foot 6 inches and weigh about 150 and have 30-50 pounds of additional weight with things like having to carry heavy things on my backpack. Which is the best one to upgrade?
Man you being 5'6 it depends on your style you ride and which you prefer....It's kinda up to you. I would go with whatever bike feels better to you, doesn't matter the size just all you brother👍
I'm curious about something. You posted your first video about the Marin Bolinas Ridge three days after this one and have done a few videos since then, including the recent test after some upgrades. Now that you've had some time on the Marin - a budget model of a brand sold in bike shops - would your list change? Where would the Marin fit on this list?
I don't know if you'll see this comment on an older video, but in case you do...
Hey brother, as long as there all new comments we see everyone of em. Now I think this would of been a 5 or honorable mention. It's a solid bike man, and someone just stated they got there's to 27lbs
Of course I love the Taff. But I understand your exclusion. It’s a big bike…..made for real men. LMAO!!
Great video dudes!! Loved the bonus one also! Thanks!
😝😝🤣🤣😂😂 LOL Real men's bike!! HA HA YES your too damn much!
Will you guys get a dolomite alx or northrock xc00 to maybe replace the malus. They are both alloy frames and both around 35 pounds. Also the two have more upgrade potential than the malus but alx comes equipped with a cassete while the northrock doesn't. (Fun fact: northrocks are rebranded giant bikes)
🤘
try the diamond back on amazon
Man would love too! We are currently looking, trying to see if academys are on stock. Thanks man
I miss my Grandparents :*(
Lucky to have my grandma
Try some of the Marin bikes some are lower price than the Schwinns
We just may, we were talking a while back about a possible bike, but we do hear good things. Thanks Man
I agree with the list, Team Ron Burgundy!!

Mine is when I shattered my plateau on my knee still recovering from
OUCH!!
I can’t find anything but a gt aggressor pro near me I’m 6’ 2” think that a large is good for me
That would be fine I'm sure, almost an xl but you could upgrade and really handle a bike like that! DO IT!!
I purchased the Axum DP during the bicycle crisis. I like it and hate it. All the components are cheap and untrustworthy. The dropper post cable broke right away. Then the lever on the bottom of the post broke. So now it is just a really heavy seat post. I need to replace just about everything on it to make it rideable. The front fork makes this bike very unpleasant to ride on any surface. It flexes too much for comfort. It also bottoms out on big bumps and sticks and does nothing on small bumps. I am going to replace parts in this order. Fork with Epixon, stem, handle bars, pedals, brakes, seat post, gear set, crank, and hubs. But only if it becomes rideable with a fork and bars.
Man just hang in there and upgrade accordingly. Sounds like you have got it figured out. Take your time and give it chance, let us know how it goes brother. Wish you could rode ours, it's a slick bike!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Thanks man, I know what to do from watching your videos!
I should have mentioned that as a Cannondale rider through the 90's this Schwin frame is remarkable. I am very impressed with the frame. I am also very impressed with how easy a 29 inch wheel rolls over just about everything.
What about a top 5 from the wolf perspective ?
He needs to do a list as well, Mayne in a few months during the season!
