    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.

      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.

    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.

    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 . 😁

    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.

    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).

    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!

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?

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!

    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.

      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?

      @WOLFTICKVIDEOS  Před 2 lety

    • @WOLFTICKVIDEOS

    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

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.

    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.
