Got my T7 first of July and after a few weeks here is my quick review on the bike: For the price $2k with Tax its hard not to like what you get right out of the box. The Shimano Deore is absolutely bulletproof, no need to change anything on the drivetrain in my opinion. Many entry level bikes come with SRAM SX which really should be SUX. The Recon Fork was my biggest worry and yes it is a little heavy, it has done an admirable job so far, as well as the rear shock. Contacts points in Saddle and Grips are just fine and dropper works great. Even the the pedals that come included are just fine. If you get the Schwalbe Tires they are easy to setup tubeless. The 2.6 width and aggressive tread is somewhat a slow roller in my opinion, but again for what you get out of the box for this price how can you really complain.

So my bike is suppose to arrive today and buy watching your video will really help me prepare for the small things. Such as when putting on your front tire, make sure not to lose the shim, even with feeding the cable for the drop down post. Seriously it's the small things that counts, very nice well done video.

Thanks for a well done review and assembly video. It helped me a lot! I Ordered a T7 on March 21st and it arrived April 2nd. The top flap was open and the little box with the goodies was busted open. Luckily I found all the pieces and there was no damage to the bike. I kind of think I got a bike that was previously returned. I'm 5'9" with long arms and long upper torso. The sizing calculator placed me on the lower end of the size L range. It feels pretty good and a more experienced rider than me said the fit looked good.

I have the rear derailleur on my super pricy bike, yes, no need for pricy Rd if you can smash it to bits. I've also tried this cassette, it shifts smoothly This bike seems quitw nice, nice to see they went for reasonable drivetrain option. Seems like a good option, no matter the budget. But I would out an oval chai ring. And of course Catalyst pedals too

Just to ad a comment about Polygon bikes, there has been a couple of people who received two of the same side peddles but they where marked L&R so if you ever feel like a peddle is not going on properly just check the threads so you dont strip your cranks. Also people have issues with the dropper not working properly, just make sure you do not have a big kink where your cable comes out of your downtube.

@rgmtb 2 жыл бұрын
Yep! The tools in the video came with the bike. I didn't have to bleed the brakes but you will always have to adjust the shocks. That's not a fault of the bike because this always needs to be tuned per rider so I'm cool with that.

Great vid. I love my T8 and haven't changed a thing. One question for you: have you ever had to remove the rubber grommets from a bike? I had occasion to change my dropper cable but I ruined the grommets getting it out. Also if you order new grommets they require that you remove your brake cable so you can thread the cable through the grommet. Lastly at 10.00 each they are too expensive to ruin and frankly there must be a better way to install new ones as they were a real PITA to remove. Any tricks?
@rgmtb 2 жыл бұрын
Oh I hear ya buddy! Those things suck on ALL BIKES! Trust me you're not alone on this one. Honestly the only tip I have is that I often add some lube to the grom to help get it to fit in the bike and allow the cables to slide through. You are correct that the cables will need to be removed to run through the new grom and that also sucks it! I'm sorry I have no tips for you but at least you know you're not alone HAHAHA!

did the suspension have air when you got it? For example: my YT did not have air in the suspension and it was crucial to set that up first before riding. Buying one of these for my son

@rgmtb 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, but don't make it to tight because that may cause the dropper to stay up and not down after you push it down. This is common across all droppers and not just the one on these bikes. I've been finding the sweet spot for years with these ;-)

What thickness does your bike tires came with? I'm under the impression that it seems that some people get 2.6 and some 2.4's. which sucks because they are charging $200 more now!
@rgmtb 2 жыл бұрын
Mine came with 2.4. I totally understand the frustration but when I asked BOL about this they responded by saying that getting tires in general are very tough. Also, BOL gets these bikes from Polygon so the switch happens a bit further up the food chain. The other issue is that the shipping costs to move these bikes is insane now! It's just messed up across the board.

@rgmtb 2 жыл бұрын
Ok, you're in a tough spot. I'm 5'8" and always have the same question. First off, you're lucky in the sense that you will be good either way. Now are you looking for a more playful bike to rock around on or (med) or something that might be a bit more stable and better for climbing hills (large). Look, this is a really tough one. All I can say is that you'll be cool on either. The med might feel a bit tight but can be adjusted with seat placement and different stem. Large might be a bit stretched out but the same can be adjusted. I realize you asked me for a solid answer but I can't give you one. I'm 100% in the same boat. I tend to ride med but you are a bit taller than me.
