So, physical symptoms are manifesting from "psychological" ailments? It's possible, but fairly unlikely.

How do you feel driving this on flat asphalt? Is it heavy cycling?

Hard to pass on single-wide trails like that

Great video picking up my bike today , super excited for it. Never was into gravel bikes always rode big fat tire bikes but these bikes looks awesome. And cant beat the price . Gonna be watching all your videos for tips and tricks

Im 5'7 to 5'8. Should I get the 44cm or 50cm?

29x2.125” tires fit on stock wheels

Why everybodt has this color? Doesnt they sell the red one in US?

That's good to know, 45 is my preferred as well 👍 Plus, they look great on there ✌️😁

Spokes cause flexing too!

Bike looks great, keep it up

Which fork is that and how much? I got a marlin 5 as an extra for a rugged commuter basically and i HATE the spring fork lol. I just dont want to spend a fortune on an air fork. Thanks 👍🏼 Mines a 2023 gen 2

I’m still haven’t pulled the trigger on one yet. I tried to pull one out yesterday to see how the frame sizes fit but couldn’t get it out and it looked like one of the spokes was bending from the metal hook that holds the tire on the rack. I may go back later this week and see if I can get both off the rack, pick a size and order one online so I can assemble myself. Hoping to use this bike to practice bike mechanics on it.

I'm planning to put a bafang BBSHD on this and I'm new to biking. So, what size is the bottom bracket? 68mm? Walmart's website says 122.5mm.

I use the Podium chill’s which work far better than standard plastic.

Awesome ride!

Great to see you getting more miles on the Ozark G1 Explorer bike before the rain comes in. It's nice that there are off road sections that you can ride in your area. I take it that you're in a rural area that isn't too overdeveloped with housing and shopping centers galore. Oh btw, I am in the process of developing my new UA-cam channel which will focus on some bicycling content and also music related vids that I will be posting from time to time. I previously did some videos under the name - distantcyclist. Then when I upgraded to a new phone recently, I decided to start a new channel that is forthcoming. Stay tuned for that bro. Would love to have you check it out and join if you wish when my new vids are available. Have a good one & happy trails!

I’ve heard that the pedal arms are long for the frame size, which explains the pedal strikes.

What size headset kit is it? I stripped my star bolt and can't find any specs for a replacement for the ozark trail gravel bike. Thanks

Besides the frame, what's left from the original OT?

Yep…I think it’s going to be okay 👌

Lol definitely testing the fork

For someone new to this world coming from a Costco hybrid this is perfect. Check everything though because mine had loose bolts and brakes weren’t adjusted properly. All you need is a bottle holder and maybe a better saddle and you’re on the trails!

Curious if you leave it out in direct sunlight, Would it heat up the water if temperature reached above 100F? 🤣🤣

The Siskiu T series are decent bikes, but when it comes to green and blue trails it's hard to beat a Hardtail!

I sold my Roscoe 7 for a T7 and I’m glad I did

As somebody who put another $850 in a $800 Trek Marlin 7 your justification to put $1000 into a $250 bike doesn't sounds quite so crazy! Now that I have my Marlin more set up for trail (initially it was more like a hybrid with wider tires) I may have to pick one of these up! I'm still not sold on the drop bars though. Would straight bars look weird on this?

Silly questions how can I fit 148mm hub into a 142mm dropout,I too got my wheels from AE and i got it wrong width for the first time

or you could tell me what size tape you used for your rim, im assuming since you have the same tire size , the rim size would be the same as stock , no? im trying to go tubeless but the bike wont be delivered for a couple more days and id like to have everything that i need asap

Thanks for the videos but with so many mods you have done, it's barely the same bike. One thing I do notice is they did not put a granny gear on it, which would have been nice. Don't know if it being a freewheel has anything to do with that decision.

im dying to know the rim width to see what size rim tape i need to order , do you happen to have the stock rim width available? i cant find jt anywhere online and i just ordered this bike

would you happne to know the rim width on the stock rim? cant find any information online

Hello, I'm a new subscriber. I see that you're also a Matty Active follower and a former Trek Marlin rider. I guess the algorithm threw you on my home page and I decided to check out the Ozark gravel bike content to see if it's a fad or not. I don't know if I'll pull the trigger on the Ozark because I don't really like drop bars or even riding on asphalt so much. I'm happy riding rail trails and swapping out parts on my 2019 Marlin 7. When I saw that you were into modding your bikes as well I decided to subscribe.

Purple accent looks amazing on this bike, I have purple bottle cages, pedals and bar tape, stands out imo

Are the stock wheels and tires tubeless ready ?

Hey Matt that’s a nice set up you got. I’ve been watching your videos on the G1 explorer bc I bought the same bike. I like it so much but the stock seat becomes unbearable after awhile. What upgrade do you recommend for that?

Put 200 miles on that thing and let us know. Just curious. No disrespect.🙏🏻✌️

The ride is looking good Matt. I have my first round of upgrades coming in this week. I wanted to get some miles on it before I changed anything. Now I know what to start with I am going with a seat post, stem, brake pads, and pedals.

Nice upgrades man. Looks sick

Obviously the consensus should be this: if you are new, as I am, it's a better bike than I've ever rode. If you are a seasoned gravel/road bike rider, it may seem a little janky. For $250 this bike has gotten me outside and hit some nice trails that I wouldn't have if I saved and waited to buy a $1500 bike.

Can you please provide links to the shifters and the cassette/derailleur you used? Thanks!!

Nice upgrades and I'm sure you spent less than a similar specd bike.

Dude thank you so much for making this g1 series in such detail these videos will inevitably blow up as the bike is gaining popularity quickly.

Toseek has actually been around a long time ,I remember buying there parts years ago , how much weight did you save changing out parts ,a lot just with the fork I imagine

all that work you putting into it you might as well go for broke & install the E converter kit

Eva-01

Was able to find one of these today at a local Walmart. 2 rides today and I’m still getting used to the drop bars.

Great update ✌️😁

Thank you for the video. By the way, do you remember how much the frame itself weighs? (just the frame)

Who else is confused about why there was a picture of Joe Swanson from Family Guy? Lol

It’s my understanding that pedals shouldn’t spin really freely otherwise it can make getting a foot back on the pedal more difficult. Smooth but not free. I didn’t know this until my first set of aftermarket pedals that were decent quality and looked it up.
