WASTE OF LIFE! OUR LIFE! GOOD JOB PAL

I’ll take out knee caps if I have too.

What was the red liner thing? That wouldn't be for tubeless, right?

Agree 100% ! Enjoy the channel and also doing upgrade on the G1. Switching to a 1x

The frame itself isn’t bad. That’s the only thing that’s not total garbage. The move here is to buy the bike strip it down and build it back up if you got decent parts laying around then sell all the stock components to people that are stupid enough to buy this bikeand keep it stock. They are going to need them as they’re constantly breaking these cheap parts. I don’t think you guys realize how cheap the bearings are in this thing.. headset bottom bracket wheel bearings is there any chance those things are gonna last more than a year or two? You will drop the cost of the bike repairs after a couple years if you’re riding this thing hard. Especially if you’re a heavier rider, you’d be a fool to think you’re gonna go out and shred single track on this thing without destroying it quickly.

I did something similar to a giant escape. Had to knock out the existing cups and machine off the inner lip. Fits perfect

Haters gonna hate...Keep on building.

If it puts a smile on your face it's worth it, keep shredding 🤙

LOVE the ending and i needed that today!

Im a MTB and DJ person.. just got these to ride canals and gravel and has work perfect for me no issues.

LOL bike snobs putting down a bike they’ve likely never ridden and accusing you of being bought by walmart. Your facial expressions are hilarious! I bought the 44cm and at 5’4” with a 28.xx” in seam it rides nice. I bought the 50cm also and it felt a bit big so I returned that one. Overall, I like the gearing, shifts well enough, rear derailleur needed a bit of adjusting, brakes squeal like a mother (at times), but I don’t think it’s a bad bike at all and it might even be underpriced! I’m a casual rider and enjoy riding it and I’m so glad I found your channel! I ride to please me, not anyone else so I rock my Explorer without shame and will take it out over my 2024 Rockhopper Comp. Keep up the videos!

I’ve done a few videos about this bike. Not great ones because I just have started trying to make videos. I know Walmart isn’t paying me to make mediocre videos. 😂 I was in a bike shop yesterday and said something about this bike getting decent reviews for a cheap bike and having one. The guy said “Those guys on KZfaq get paid by Walmart. I didn’t tell him that I had done a small review in my own attempt to make videos.

I mean… i thought it was an ok bike to experiment with also. 😅

I like the budget builds. I built my kent cause I saw you do it. I didn't go all out just tires, brakes and different cassette. Budget bikes are a good back up to have when your main bike is down.

Haha. Haters gonna hate.

I bought one this morning. lol.. Keep doing your thing Sendies!

Preach it brother. 100

Hey, I’m first!

Always check your grease lol

Brake getting blood transfusion.

I wish I could have got the Ozone Park over the Mongoose Grit price wise

I use that brand on my hybrid and have no issues with it. Been riding with it since 2000 but I do street riding and some curb hoping it works great

Just picked this bike up and absolutely love it. I'm a mountain biker and my expensive enduro is not what I want to be taking out for fitness rides around my city when I can't get to the trails. For 250$ bucks this was a great fill in bike for those times and the weight doesn't bother me, since i'm used to riding heavier mtbs any way. Had to do a bit of a tune up from the store, so maybe not the best for someone with no mechanical knowledge, but outside of that I haven't found anything wrong with it. Also cut the seat tube post in half to save a little bit of weight since it's SO long.

Should try out a suspension seat post and carbon printed 3d saddle. I got a Suntour NCX and Ryet on Ali for a little over $110. Great cause they can easily be swapped to other bikes they made an awesome difference when I ride on gravel!

I bought a baloney 38 with 180 mm of travel for giggles it came with foam rings and half decent Teflon lined bushings, it's a still a non serviceable damper cartridge and the air side had stuff lying on the air piston seal head but the really improved a ton since the dirty inside first inverted fork I got two years ago, still not up to par with RST or suntour QC but they might come to Rock shox judy levels in a couple of years 😂

I want a 50CM but cannot locate one...this sucks!

If one truly wants to get the most out of their money, buy used gear. The best way to save on upgrades.

they're one of the best budget brand, enough for most people

Dang sick❤

I have a T8. Polygon tells you to save the packaging and use it for travel. Specifically air travel.

Risk make some really handy tools too.

I think all the upgrades are worth if you use the bike and have a good time building it up. Sometimes you don't have all the money at once so upgrading a bike little by little as you get the cash is a must.

It's pronounced ball-ah-knee

Maybe technically doing the upgrades isn't worth it but what if you only have $250 to spend but a couple months down the road you can spend some on upgrades it's not only fun to do but I think it would be worth it in that case

If you bought a wheel for $60 that's a killer deal you can't even lace one up that cheap

I cut forks with a big tubing cutter or my grinder with a cut off wheel

I think that work was a good choice. I've been thinking about trying one on my "gravel" bike

I bought this bike for my wife and swapped out the headset for a Cane Creek, kept it straight steerer and used a Manitou Markhor 100mm fork I had in the parts bin. Frankly, I got a little carried away and you might say I paid $250.00 for a frame; I've swapped and upgraded almost everything...

There is a flat mount to post mount adapter that you can use which would allow you to keep the stock brakes. The adapters run $2.00 to $5.00 each from China. If you want to save money. A $5.00 part vs a $20.00 part. Although, the new brakes would be a great improvement over stock.

Almost a perfect build and video, except for... SAVE THE NUB! FORGET ZERO STACK! Millions of forks end up in landfills every year, too short to be of any use to future riders too tall to want to hunch over shortened stems. Unwilling to use stem extenders. It's amazing the quality of ride that can be delivered for such a price! Great video!

👍

What's the max tire width the frame handles?

Will be interesting to see how you like the handling and ride now. This fork is longer so it will slacken the head angle and raise the bottom bracket ? Also imagine its a fair bit heavier ? Good experiment tho as a lot of the high end gravel bikes are coming with suspension forks now.

“Today Walmart sent me more money so here’s another video about this POS Walmart bike! Don’t forget to like and subscribe!”

I think that’s my friend Henry in the blue helmet 😂

Did you get a rear caliper to match the front?

the work fine i have so many of there parts get a pump

There are multiple reviews of this “great” bike and that tells me that Walmart is behind all these KZfaq videos and the positive comments. The reality is that it’s a crap bike with cheap components. All the happy customers will find out after a year or so that it’s just another Walmart POS.

Where's the full video?!

I guess the shock absorbed the impact, sorta risky for those 2 to under the bike when you go over.
