- I picked up an old 2011 Marin Pine Mountain 29er to restore and I couldn't resist giving it a good pedal before I tore it down... Is an old steel hardtail any good in 2023? Let's find out!
Let me know in the comments what direction you think I should go with the build! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
In 2013 I got my first 29r , a Scott scale 930 , its carbon, super fast with a Fox front fork , I sold it but wish I didn't because it was so fun to ride 😊
Very nice!
I use my old Haro Mary, steel-frame bike for gravel road and multi-use path riding. It has a SRAM X9, 9-speed triple drivetrain, coupled to a SRAM crank. It has a 100mm travel RockShox Tora, 32mm stanchion air fork, and Avid BB7 brakes. If you look at old mountain bikes like this as flat-bar gravel bikes or super-hybrids, there is nothing wrong with them. They can still be a lot of fun.
Awesome! Basically what I'm gonna use this one for! Thanks for watching man!
Great footage son. How was the NO NET segment?
It actually did great in there
If it's cromoly, then yeah, it's good! I rather have a cromoly frame then aluminum!
It is! I actually enjoyed riding it, even if the ht angle is steeper than my road bikes 😅🤘
Isn't it more of gear adjustment issue if your chain drops between? L screw is not tight enough? I would just stick with 3x10 if you already got enduro bike it's nice to have bike with big gears for asphalt etc. I'm marin fanboy still got my 2009 alpine trail 26" and 2022 san quentin 2 27,5".
Yeah I adjusted the limit screws when I got home and it's WAY BETTER and I agree it'll be nice to have the extra gears for cruising around.
Try adding drop bars and, voila, you have a gravel bike!
I already have a new Rocky Mountain Solo sitting in the shop or I would haha
@@evelkestriegel That Solo isn't steel is it? 😉
Haha no... No it's not. But it was expensive 😅😅
He makes it like he found the bike in a Tomb and it will fall apart moving .
You're not far off 😅😅🤷. I'll resurrect it soon enough, waiting on parts. 🤞 This bike is great though. I like all my projects but this one has been fun and I'm growing fond of it being in my stable.
Easy fix, swap to XT brakes, service the fork and change it to a single speed to become a real man. LOL
Bro idk if I'm ready for a single speed yet 😅🤘
@evelkestriegel ... honestly, it's the perfect frame for an SS. And I wouldn't worry about the single speed ... you absolutely are in the right gear ... about 10% of the time LOL. It'll make you stronger and give you the ability to spin at well over 100 comfortably
Haha maybe I'll try it🤘 thanks for watching man
TURN IN THE L SCREW ALL THE WAY THEN BACK OFF ONE TURN AT A TIME DUDE
i THINK YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SET THINGS UP IF YOU ARE GOING TO STAY IN THE HOBBIE.
Haha I have a base knowledge but I rode the bike without adjusting it first admittedly, after adjusting the limit screws when I got home it's better. Definitely bent the rim though.
