    I bought one just like yours a few weeks ago, and I'm really enjoying it so far. I've been road cycling for about 8 years or so, but I decided to give mtb a try...so far so good. Nice bike and nice mods.

      how are you getting on with the gear speed? Im thinking of getting one but worried the 1x9 wont be high enough when cycling on the road (vs gen 2 2x8)

      @laurencegoff2976 I agree with you and I found a take of sram 1x12 sx cassette and a gx derailleur at my local bike shop. If you go with a sx cassette you don’t have to replace the rear wheel and it works with GX parts.

      Good idea, was thinking of changing it. Just never worked on gears before so will be all new

    Have the exact some bike and was thinking about modding my bike also. I'm a bigger rider at 300 so thinking about upgrading the brakes and when I start doing trails getting the suspension replaced.
    Already swapped the pedals, grips and seats.

    I just picked mine up today! I wanted to get a Roscoe, but it was out of my price range. I’m very interested in doing some upgrades in the future!

    • @BareBackBroncos
      @BareBackBroncos  Місяць тому +2

      The Roscoe was out of the range for me as well. I figured I could build mine close enough to a Roscoe and for what I need it’s a good bike and I really enjoy it. Keep me posted on your upgrades! Congrats on the new bike.

      The risers and 8• steam helped me be more comfortable on the bike. I recommend putting some miles on and see what you want to change. I wanted to be more up right and not so far forward. I know on the trail I will have different results, but I primarily ride on the road.

      The new forks shipped today. Then I’m going to work on upgrades to brakes to a 180mm system. The 160mm on it now seems weak at times.

    Man, I just got rid of my EV bike. I never rode it. I broke my toe last year and it kept me off of it. I guess I lost the love. Sick bike tho!

      I can see that happening, having something of that value is hard to let sit unused in the garage.
