      Hello, I want to buy a T7 / but I have doubts about the size of the frame, I measure 1.74 meters (5´, 9). Which one would you recommend ?
      Thank you

  • @LarryHopper

    My T7 came with Schwalbe Hans Dampf tires, which I today converted to tubeless, something I have never before done. I needed only valve stems and sealant, no tape, and was even able to seat the tire beads with just a hand pump. The 2 pops were very satisfying indeed. If I can do this, almost anyone can.

      Thank you! I figured anybody can just read the spec sheet online so I wanted to talk more on the nitty gritty.
      I hope you get the schwalbe tires too, bc I can guarantee you’ll have an easier time getting them to convert tubeless. I made a second attempt with the flow snaps and still to no avail. But when I build it they’ll be changed out.

      Like your bike, mine's headset had no grease. Is this common? While that is an annoyance, it is hardly a dealbreaker considering the bike's price.
      I have the Schwalbe Hans Dampf tires, but have not yet attempted the tubeless conversion.

      Hi Bikes Online, description to T7 says "Upgrade from riding with tubes by adding tubeless tape, valves, and sealant to take your riding to the next level." As Jared confirmed, they are coming already pre-taped which makes above statement confusing. Super excited while waiting for my T7 to arrive. Keep up great job!

    I received and assembled my new Siskiu T7 two weeks ago. It arrived 1 week early and no issue with the pedals. Head tube bearings were minimally greased which I took care of. I did not see the white warranty registration card and as of now, have not registered the bike with Polygon. The dropper post actuates up and down nicely but the valve is very tough to operate with the thumb switch. The girls are having trouble actuating the dropper. I was able to go tubeless with the Vee Flow Snap tires. Other than that, I am glad to own the T7. A fellow single tracker rode it and within 2 days ordered a Polygon of her own (D7). I will assemble that for her and will watch for the warranty card.

    • @JaredRMorgan
      @JaredRMorgan  3 роки тому

      Right on! Glad you had better luck with the tires. I tried them again a second time and had 0 luck, but I’m not too worried. As for the dropper lever I recommend the PNW loam bc it will drastically reduce that resistance. Thanks for watching! Would be awesome if your friend bought her bike through my link to help support my channel! 👍

    Just got mine TODAY after Fed Ex had the bike just sitting in their sort facility for over 2 weeks. Bad thing is I'm away on business so I can't put it together YET. Based on the Pics the Wife sent, the box was somewhat beat up, was open, but looks like everything is there. I do get home just in time to put it together to meet my Bro in Law in NC to do some sick trails in Pisgah. First thing I am going to do is set it up Tubeless. Thankfully it came with the Schwalbe Tires and not the Vee Snaps which I heard some people got. For the money the components look solid. I have always liked Shimano drivetrains, they are much better than the SX SRAMS which come on this budget range a bike. I've heard the fork is just so so, but this isn't a $4K plus bike. Anyways great review. Thanks.

    Siskiu T7 owner here, mine comes with a small paint chip on top tube, seems their packaging is not that good. But mine come with schwalbe tires, which is easy going tubeless with a floor pump. I upgraded a fox36 fork, grip and saddle, I’m thinking maybe a dropper lever next. Overall it’s a very nice bike, looking forward your review and upgrades.

    • @JaredRMorgan

    Appreciate the honest review and pointing out the issues despite the fact that you got it for free and the fact that bikes online may not like it. For what it’s worth, I set up one of the Flow Snaps on my Rift Zone tubeless without issue. Maybe it’s a bad rim tape job from the factory? They are some slow rollers though. You’ll want to at least replace the rear with something faster.

    • @JaredRMorgan
      @JaredRMorgan  3 роки тому

      Yeah both Bikes Online and I want the reviews to be real. It allows them to get better, and viewers prefer real. The issue is the diameter of the flow snaps bead. They’re simply not snug enough for these rims. I could use my fingers as tire levers to get them off. There’s no way I could get them to seat tubeless unless maybe I ran a kushcore to push the beads up the bead ramp.
      I’m not stressing it, because these tires aren’t staying long term. Just for a review or two.

    I got the T8 about 2 months ago, found metal shavings in the seat post when assembling it, someone at Polygon or Bikesonline tried to enlarge the seat tube diameter as I'm guessing it didn't meet spec. All they managed to do was ovalize the seat tube and put undue stress on the seat post :( After many back and forth, Polygon finally accepted a warranty claim for the frame, so now I get to wait 3-6 months for a new front triangle. Makes me wish I would have bought locally.

    Nice new bike. I am considering one of this Siskiu's but am torn between which size to purchase. I kind of sit right at the border of the Medium, or the Large. I am 5'-10" / 178cm. I see you have a medium. How tall are you, and how does it feel? Thx.

    • @JaredRMorgan
      @JaredRMorgan  3 роки тому +1

      Actually mine is a large! They totally mislabeled it. If I were you, however I’d probably recommend the medium. I always suggest that if you’re between sizes you should go down. There are ways to make small bikes feel bigger, but you can never make a bike that’s too big feel smaller.

    Hey man! I have recently been looking to get a polygon t7 but i just want some help with what bike i should get. I don’t want to spend anything over $3000, can you please share what bike you would recommend?
    Pls respond

    • @JaredRMorgan
      @JaredRMorgan  3 роки тому +1

      I think the T7 is the perfect route to go. The reason I say that is, it has a perfectly balanced spec and it’ll allow you to have some money left over to buy upgrades where you see fit. No bike is perfect out of the box, but this one is darn close…and at 1800, you’ll be able to have 1200 left over to either hold on to or use to pic out some upgrades to make it suit your riding style. Hope this helps!

    I just got this bike Saturday, I had/have issues with the dropper post. There seems to be too much slack in the cable (ie. I have to push the lever really hard and way past a reasonable range of motion). Any idea what I did wrong or any suggestions to correct?

    • @JaredRMorgan
      @JaredRMorgan  3 роки тому +1

      Normally when the dropper is acting wonky it’s best to check everything. I’d pull the post out, check both ends of the cable housing for messed up cable ferrules, check the housing for any kinks, once all of that looks clear, just take out any remaining slack in the cable up by the lever and you should be good to go. You do that just by letting out the little screw that clamps down on the cable, pulling the cable, and then tightening it back down.

      I had same issue with my T7. I appropriately shortened and lubed the cable and then made sure I removed all the slack before tightening the gripper bolt. That seemed to help a little. The dropper valve is just tough to operate in my opinion. I have had 3 previous droppers that I installed on other bikes.

    • @JaredRMorgan
      @JaredRMorgan  3 роки тому +1

      When I weighed it out the box and after I added frame protection, I weighed it as 38lbs which is heavy. I changed out the tubes, bc the factory tubes are absolutely overkill. Should’ve shaved off a pound just with this alone.
      My scale also might have been inaccurate. I got a new one from park tool today, so I’ll try to see what I get.

    • @JaredRMorgan
      @JaredRMorgan  3 роки тому +2

      Updated weight: I’ve added a fidlock bottle, frame protection, and a tube strap. I’ve also switched the tires with lighter tubes. I’m at 37lb and 10oz. Quite heavy. I’ll push to get it below 34 in the upcoming weeks.

    I own a T7 and let me just say the issues you experienced are not rare with Polygon. Everyone that I speak to that owns one has had to correct numerous issues with each bike, myself included. I think the bike is a good value but the quality control is ridiculous. If Bikesonline and Polygon really want to build a customer base, they've got to get some consistency in the build quality of these bikes. Warped rims, missing bolts and washers, scratches, dents, and dry headsets are unacceptable!
