Those brakes in original state, without swapping, are decent anti-theft system. Who ever tries to steal the bike will go over the bars in 50 meters. Speaking of OTB, your dad has tons of faith in you. 'you're going over the bars every two minutes anyway' :) but I agree with him on boost etc standards. Will be fun to see all that stuff installed. Keep up with the good work and stay safe
One of the biggest drawbacks to these budget parts is the availability of the products you need for upkeep, such as your brakes. Its not like you can go to your lbs and they could punch it into the computer and tell you what will work, although that would be nice, but they don't usually register the products to a database. You are going to like the X Fusion forks. They will slightly slacken your headangle which makes it easier to control at speed and on descents! So, your favorite old school mechanic is in the hospital with covid. Came in last Wednesday, went home, and came back Saturday. Glad to have WolfTick on my subs, because it makes things a little more bearable to have you 2 entertain me!
Absolutely right when it comes to the availability!! You would knowLOL And excited about the forks man, hope they change the angle cause I need more control as well!!LOL Hope you are going to be alright :) Hang in there and very nice to hear from you! Watching us in the HOSPITAL!!!!???
Man that is just awesome the way you are following our vids! Its real cool of you brother, that bike has got some really nice forks coming and a new sunrace derailleur/groupset!! Shes a beast, I just gotta get used to riding a little bigger of a bike :)
Nice round up guys, humpty dumpty has come a long way from humble beginnings. Looking to seeing where it goes from here. That crash still makes me wince watching it again 😂
Thanks man, I seen your last comment. The Taff is great man, have fun with it and think wisely on your first few upgrades! Bars are always a cheaper alternative to the steel one you got.
Odyssey twisted PC pedals are the only pedals I use, ever since Odyssey first came out with them (currently running the pink/black swirl on all of my bikes). Awesome grip and your shins will thank you.
I think the SHIMANO A01S pads would fit the Zoom breaks, because they look almost identical. But im not sure. And a tip to save some weight is to replace the spacer with carbon ones. It saves not a ton of weight, but a bit.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS that little won't matter much. but if it's a good deal, and it's real, why not, but if you already have spacers ,it's just waste of money.
That’s still a great looking bike! I don’t see how you guys have time for all these projects but I really appreciate them! Love the videos guys and thank you for the letter! Awesome surprise haha
Ha ha Jeremiah said not when he rides😂 No one knows what is going to happen when The Tick is on the bike. The GT Aggressor Pro is a pretty good and reliable bike that's for sure. Thanks for the support man.🙏
I play guitar as well as ride MTB bikes and with guitars we always talk about diminishing returns. From my 3 GT MTB builds I’ve done recently in my opinion diminishing returns also affects MTB bikes. My best friend rides a $10,000 full suspension fully built MTB and ya it’s sweet but does it ride $9,000 better than my builds??? Hell no!! If you guys have looked at my Instagram you’ve seen my GT builds a 1998, 2005, & 2020 so here’s my challenge to you...... build a budget bike based on an older bike that any can find on Craigslist, or Facebook market place 😁😁. Love the channel guys!! You 2 kick ass!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey brother thanks for the idea!! Not bad at all:) Appreciate the 2 coffees as well! Very cool and will be responding to the site later to get you some STICKERS!!! Thanks brother and completely agree on your frame of mind as far as prices go:)
That pads on zoom brakes are some old model Shimano compatible. It’ll be nice to see this X-Fusion forks. They really shine even on video. Great job guys
Will look into that thanks man, and yes cant wait to install the forks man!! Im curious if I can feel the 34mm stanchion difference and the non boost? Thanks man for the comment
Dycomace on Amazon has the pads that look like for the zoom. When you buy them they come up. Under the zoom breaks as you search and hit view item scroll to the bottom they should come up.
11:35 why do you keep mounting the front wheel to the fork before installing it, why make it harder? the fork goes on first, then cockpit, then the wheel. but if you do it for the challenge, and that's not enough do it in high heals or in rollerblades or on a skateboard.😀
Understand but, recording and showing it being put together is easier when I can place the bike on the floor with a wheel on the front, it tends to be a little higher up when shooting it on the stand, and the shop is very backlit so it doesnt mix well😬😬
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS feta tripod and led lights in the sealing I don't have any of it, but I want a tripod, but a repair stand should be able to adjust the height angle, Ive tried to do it the way you do it just to try it, it was not nice at all, but possible, but still when doing it on the floor I prefer to install fork first.
I really like your guys videos. Great info and opinions on parts. I wii be watching for the group set video seeing I want to get a better one for my boundary. Side note not sure if you care but I’m going to make my Boundary into a single speed for pump tracks and what I call bad bike decisions over stairs and gaps in town and will be buying a Schwinn Axum for my trail bike. Keep up the great work on the channel!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I will keep you posted on the build for sure. Finally will be getting back to work on Monday. Good thing seeing I need to feed my mountain bike addition. Today in Minnesota it was 50* and sunny and I ripped the town up need to get a new go pro to record my bad biking decisions. 😂👍🤟
No problem Jason, thank you for always watching us brother, now wasnt really feeling it and when we bust out our 5000 SUBSCRIBER BIKE, we will see if you are on board with it!!!
Front brake lever should be on the right side not the left ffs lol Just like on motorcycles. Imagine being on a motorcycle in an emergency stop & you went for the clutch lever rather than the front brake because you were used to riding bicycles! Put them the right way around like we do in the UK :)
I've seen reviews on that xfusion fork saying it's compared to similar performance as the Fox factory 34 forks. So very interested in seeing what your thoughts.
We are looking forward to it ourselves. It will be put to the test for sure so we can feel good about our short term conclusions on it. Thanks for your input and your interest in our opinions/reviews. 🙏
The stiffness is what matters with a through axle and tapered head set. Straight steer is more suited for a XC bike but for trail or Enduro. But at 900$ for a few hundred dollars more you can get a much better full suspension bike with better components.
Yeah the Taff feels stiff and responsive, but waaaaaay funner than building something as opposed to buying, and we get some pretty funny content doing so😂😂😉 But completely understand what you are talking about👍
Hahaha you know it😜. We will probably mess with the full squish bikes this winter/spring. We have another big project that is going to start soon but its not the Sandstorm or Temissor🤔.
Keep the rear wheel and upgrade the hub. A Koozer hub cost less than 40.00. It got high contact. you can run it as 10mm qr, 12x135 or Boost . Ton of videos on how to spoke a wheel.Its not that hard at all.I did that On my Trek Marlin.
We will man and have, they are a little more expensive on ebay, we had an amazon affiliate account but they screwed us so like to give our business to ebay and there (some) small shops. But maybe, they look sweet and everyone loves them! Have you tried the Chester's as well? If so which so you prefer
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Chester is original product, fooker is copycat with a dust cap with a hole in it. They don't even know what a dust cap is😁 it's like a bullet proof West with venting holes. 😀
On the X-Fusion, see how serviceable they are, I've heard they are difficult to service or hard to get parts. I've heard that something is weird about that brand that people realize after the fact.
Very cool man, now we have to string you along so it will be an initial impressions/install video. Weight, sizing, pressure and then install. Hope you tune in for both of man, with the channel we would love to put everything out there but....We got to do it in arts to kind of recoop on our spending LOL!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS No doubt, I understand 100% man. I'm looking at putting the same fork on my GT Pro, I've read some good things about it, so I'll be here for both videos. Appreciate your hard work, keep it up brother!
Cool man and Will C ya Friday!!! Just got done shooting the opener mail and coffee shoutouts a little long but if you are a fan then you will enjoy! Thanks for understanding the HARD work!
You can but "simply" doesnt really explain it. You can order a new hub but would require you (or bike shop) to re spoke it and make sure its true, I think it would be easier and cheaper just to order a new rear with QR and a freehub!!:)
this video was clearly recorded before my reply, you already know about the brake pad thing, cus I mentioned it.😄did you get to see if the pad thing I suspected was right?
#Death From Above is spot on with using GEO MTB HANDGUARDS to prevent instances like bending your handlebars in a crash! They PROTECT your HANDS and CONTROLS and I’ve crashed a few times myself while riding with GEO MTB HG’s and they’ve saved me from walking out of the woods with a broken shifter, brake lever or bent handlebars. They ABSORB impacts and although I can’t guarantee the bars wouldn’t have bent, I can guarantee that the results wouldn’t have been as bad! Next time the “TICK” heads out for a ride I recommend using GEO MTB HANDGUARDS.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Pinkbike is where it is at my man. Seriously check there for parts. Maybe you guys can use your expertise to help beginners to know what used forks or parts to look for. Often times a 2015 Fox 36 Can be found for under $300 and will out perform a $700 2020 RockShox. It is worth investigating i promise, you'll be able to stretch your dollar further
so that bent the handlebar ok, so they are junk handlebars as I suspected. I've crashed with various handlebars and none of them bent apart from the steel handlebar on the trek 3900, I don't remember how, I think bike fell over or I crashed in the city centre, but in that's too weak anyway. I've had hard crashes with Bontrager Lowriser 650mm 31.8mm 6061-T6, when I was a kid, Bontagrer Race lite 720mm 31.8mm 7050 alu , Race Face Turbine 720mm 31.8mm, Race Face Sixc 35 Carbon 800mm, none bent, cracked.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I was of ourse alot lighter when I was a kid, but still decent handlebars, and the other with 7050 alloy are stronger than 6000series, I went over the bars hit bars on the side but had bar end plugs, the Sixc i hit when falling sideways off a ramp. Also had similar crashes to you, with several bars. I don't know what the Jessika bar is made of, very weak and and alloy not resistant to bending probably. Cus to bend a bar like that requires crazy force. But this was a common crash scenerio.
Grease that chain, checkout some white lightning from Walmart. Pther than that, you may wanna make sure Ann bolts are tight and maybe just a good once over. Also air pressure👍
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS so hilarious point but I actually work for a vendor company as a Contractor building bikes for Walmart is there anything you would recommend me doing two bikes that I'm putting on the floor just to better the quality even just that grease and my lady son knocked over my calf before I could finish building up the front headset and knocked bearings out of my ring so I haven't even written it yet and just contacted Schwinn for replacement bearings so I'm waiting about half a month before I even get in my first ride and I'm also starting to get interested in gravel bikes could I possibly use the taff for gravel riding?
Put a 27.5 rear on the Taff already. It's gonna fit you better and make for a good video. I'm gonna comment " Mullet " on every video from now until you do it. Haha.
For sure man, you will enjoy Fridays opener segment, mail and coffee shout outs! Thanks for reminding me man, I think about that alot and were the channel would go but.....We got eachother now and thats all that matters
Man like in the video I say that the bleeding process was very "all over the place" due to trying to use a shimano funnel def wasnt the right size.

I stumble over the break pads ur jiberising about all over the .com 🤔 l-woo might be the "mecanic" that needs to go back to bike shcool😆 had to take a 2 look at this to comment on it. The dude living next to me was drilling in the concret wall to drown out the sound of hillbily bikers on my sound system 🤪
Those brakes in original state, without swapping, are decent anti-theft system. Who ever tries to steal the bike will go over the bars in 50 meters. Speaking of OTB, your dad has tons of faith in you. 'you're going over the bars every two minutes anyway' :) but I agree with him on boost etc standards. Will be fun to see all that stuff installed. Keep up with the good work and stay safe
😂😂😂😂 That would be a nasty PRANK! LOL!!!! Funny how much you see my dads "FAITH" in me!!!!
One of the biggest drawbacks to these budget parts is the availability of the products you need for upkeep, such as your brakes. Its not like you can go to your lbs and they could punch it into the computer and tell you what will work, although that would be nice, but they don't usually register the products to a database.
You are going to like the X Fusion forks. They will slightly slacken your headangle which makes it easier to control at speed and on descents!
So, your favorite old school mechanic is in the hospital with covid. Came in last Wednesday, went home, and came back Saturday. Glad to have WolfTick on my subs, because it makes things a little more bearable to have you 2 entertain me!
Absolutely right when it comes to the availability!! You would knowLOL And excited about the forks man, hope they change the angle cause I need more control as well!!LOL Hope you are going to be alright :) Hang in there and very nice to hear from you! Watching us in the HOSPITAL!!!!???
Definitely some really nice new additions! Great to see that fork and crankset. Excited to see it be put on. Awesome video keep up the great work!
Man that is just awesome the way you are following our vids! Its real cool of you brother, that bike has got some really nice forks coming and a new sunrace derailleur/groupset!! Shes a beast, I just gotta get used to riding a little bigger of a bike :)
Nice round up guys, humpty dumpty has come a long way from humble beginnings. Looking to seeing where it goes from here.
That crash still makes me wince watching it again 😂
Ha HA I have night terrors!!! Thanks Dan
Have been interested to see how Sunrace drive trains perform. Can't wait for you guys to do your thing.
Hell yeah man, the new groupset will be interesting and hope to get some revenge!!! Appreciate it S Lin and see you FRIDAY my man:)
Loving your videos, I picked up a new Taff for 170, can't wait to start with upgrades
Thanks man, I seen your last comment. The Taff is great man, have fun with it and think wisely on your first few upgrades! Bars are always a cheaper alternative to the steel one you got.
Odyssey twisted PC pedals are the only pedals I use, ever since Odyssey first came out with them (currently running the pink/black swirl on all of my bikes). Awesome grip and your shins will thank you.
Hell yeah man, I cant wait, I know they are BMX style but look forward to the lightness and the stickiness:)
I think the SHIMANO A01S pads would fit the Zoom breaks, because they look almost identical. But im not sure.
And a tip to save some weight is to replace the spacer with carbon ones. It saves not a ton of weight, but a bit.
Just looked it up!!YES! Thanks man and maybe the carbon spacers, I heard they reduce weight enough to pull off backflips!!!:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS if so get real carrbon spacers fro reputable brand, or it might be fake, or bad quality, but carbon spacers are unessesary.
Well every ounce helps!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS that little won't matter much. but if it's a good deal, and it's real, why not, but if you already have spacers ,it's just waste of money.

They PROTECT your HANDS and CONTROLS and I’ve crashed a few times myself while riding with GEO MTB HG’s and they’ve saved me from walking out of the woods with a broken shifter, brake lever or bent handlebars. They ABSORB impacts and although I can’t guarantee the bars wouldn’t have bent, I can guarantee that the results wouldn’t have been as bad!
Next time the “TICK” heads out for a ride I recommend using GEO MTB HANDGUARDS.
Give the used market a go. There might be a fair argument to make about spending $800 for an upgraded bike vs outright spending $800
Not bad thinking man,we will play with that idea for sure. Gotta love some craigslist:)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Pinkbike is where it is at my man. Seriously check there for parts. Maybe you guys can use your expertise to help beginners to know what used forks or parts to look for. Often times a 2015 Fox 36 Can be found for under $300 and will out perform a $700 2020 RockShox. It is worth investigating i promise, you'll be able to stretch your dollar further

Appreciate it brother, will look at the link!! Thanks

Wheelmaster wheels on Amazon go on sale quite often for about 70$
Seen those actually, just ordered one!NOT AMAZON THOUGH
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS yeah that's what I'm running for my rear now hopefully gonna grab a front one for Christmas
😉😉😉
so that bent the handlebar ok, so they are junk handlebars as I suspected.
I've crashed with various handlebars and none of them bent apart from the steel handlebar on the trek 3900, I don't remember how, I think bike fell over or I crashed in the city centre, but in that's too weak anyway.
I've had hard crashes with Bontrager Lowriser 650mm 31.8mm 6061-T6, when I was a kid, Bontagrer Race lite 720mm 31.8mm 7050 alu , Race Face Turbine 720mm 31.8mm, Race Face Sixc 35 Carbon 800mm, none bent, cracked.
Wow, all name brand my say somethign:);)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I was of ourse alot lighter when I was a kid, but still decent handlebars, and the other with 7050 alloy are stronger than 6000series, I went over the bars hit bars on the side but had bar end plugs, the Sixc i hit when falling sideways off a ramp. Also had similar crashes to you, with several bars. I don't know what the Jessika bar is made of, very weak and and alloy not resistant to bending probably. Cus to bend a bar like that requires crazy force. But this was a common crash scenerio.
What hydraulic oil you use

Good Day. What is the pedal size?
9/16
I just got a taff is there anything I should do before me 1st ride
Grease that chain, checkout some white lightning from Walmart. Pther than that, you may wanna make sure Ann bolts are tight and maybe just a good once over. Also air pressure👍
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS so hilarious point but I actually work for a vendor company as a Contractor building bikes for Walmart is there anything you would recommend me doing two bikes that I'm putting on the floor just to better the quality even just that grease and my lady son knocked over my calf before I could finish building up the front headset and knocked bearings out of my ring so I haven't even written it yet and just contacted Schwinn for replacement bearings so I'm waiting about half a month before I even get in my first ride and I'm also starting to get interested in gravel bikes could I possibly use the taff for gravel riding?
Put a 27.5 rear on the Taff already. It's gonna fit you better and make for a good video. I'm gonna comment " Mullet " on every video from now until you do it. Haha.
Wouldn't expect any less from you brother!! Lmao, we may try ha ha I bet the downhill will be awesome like that.
Everything will be awesome like that!!! Just as awesome as you and WolfDad.
MIGHT DO A MULLET!!! Thanks brother, love the WOLFDAD!!!
A01s brake pads look like the same ones on the zoom brakes
Will look, thanks man
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS no problem if theres one thing I'm good at its scouring the internet for parts I dont need lol
HA HA Feel ya!
Opening up is considering how deep your pockets are..
Absolutely and around here they barely hold change!!!LOL
We in the same boat then. Love the channel, keep doing y'all . .. it works. Enjoy your time together while y'all can.
For sure man, you will enjoy Fridays opener segment, mail and coffee shout outs! Thanks for reminding me man, I think about that alot and were the channel would go but.....We got eachother now and thats all that matters
What bleed kit you use bro
Man like in the video I say that the bleeding process was very "all over the place" due to trying to use a shimano funnel def wasnt the right size. I asked for help and everyone swore by these, havent ordered it yet but heres an affiliate link.

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS thanks
Damn imagine going to lock the rear brakes up but its reversed 😬 maybe it's like driving on the opposite side in other countries 🤷🏻♂️
😂😂😂😂That would be an amazing PRANK!!! If no one got hurt of course!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS of course! 😄
What is a Taff anyway? Had to look it up. It's slang for a Welshman. I don't understand you, Schwinn.
HA HA glad you looked it up, I followed a rabit hole into Ignaz Schwinn!
I stumble over the break pads ur jiberising about all over the .com 🤔 l-woo might be the "mecanic" that needs to go back to bike shcool😆 had to take a 2 look at this to comment on it. The dude living next to me was drilling in the concret wall to drown out the sound of hillbily bikers on my sound system 🤪
TURNOVERACE6 First of all you are a freaking mess! Drilling? Us Hillbillys?LMFAO!!! HA HA And what the hell man, why did you change your PIC???
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS up all night gaming 06.17 in the morning now 😴 i got dyslexia🤯 hard to text in 🇬🇧🇺🇲

Thought of that actually, then it would of been weird!! Cant have that LOL!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS lol yea it looks weird but when i had zoom brakes that how i rode them since im too lazy to rebleed them and all
Either too lazy are just waaaaay smater than everyone else!!!:)
Or for a person that doesn't ride like a WHATTT?????
DUMBA**😂😂😂😂
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS 🤣🤣

Your downgrading on your fork
Well we wouldent have a channel if we didnt try more than one fork out:) But the jury is out, we will see;)
Bike is shit without upgrading
Lol maybe street riding will be better for people to ride!lol
No pro rider use those forks they’re cheap overpriced because of the coronavirus their price gouging
I think EVERYTHING is overpriced due to supply and demand and good thing im not a "PRO RIDER"😁😁😁
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Are you going to try the fox 🦊 fork on the GT
oooooohhh! IDK man?? Kinda want to but just not for the price, that would def be a company sponsor or a send in! But would like to:)
