DOG!!!! Oh and a bike. HA! Beautiful build! You and that purple! Love how you pimp your bike out. We all love personalizing. It keeps our bikes looking different in the parking lot. Got me looking at getting new decals for my forks. Great video brother!
I built up a Transition Smuggler in March. I was tempted to go with an expensive carbon wheel set but ran out of money and ended up buying Hunt Enduro Wide wheels. As it turns out, I couldn’t be happier. They’ve been bombproof. The rear hub is smooth , with rapid engagement. Got them on sale for under $400, which is amazingly affordable given the quality.
You may just need a lever bleed, which fortunately is pretty easy to do. I finally completed a successful bleed on my Tektros the other day. I was very excited to do it correctly! LOL Good luck! Nice Giant btw.... so cool.
If I remember right, tektro minimum rotor thickness is 1.8mm, they recommend a rotor thickness of 2.3 or 2.4mm i belive so that dead spot my be because the rotors they put with these tektros are already to there minimum.
@chickensendies for sure! My bike came with shimano rotors which are 1.8mm and I have the same feeling, first half of the lever feels dead so I dug into and found that so. I have not changed mine out yet to 100% confirm but it's on the list to do before next season lol
Full Suspension bikes really feel like a cushion ride but can be bouncy, just bought used 2009 Iron Horse Full Suspension at reasonable price on ebay, it seems like the comparison between the 26 and 27.5 tires is 1.5 inches taller.
@@chrishorbatt3504 The thing I enjoy most about it is it makes me feel more planted to the ground but is also supple. I am not really sure how to explain it though HAHAHAHA.

27.5 full squishes are a lot of fun. Sweet bike!

@@nicks8026 seems to be more reason for me to try hunt! Appreciate the input! 😁😁😁
8:30 +1 for another one with a wobbly front wheel, but I opted to replace the entire hub instead. Been smooth since making that change!
@jakebarton7991 you are the one I was mentioning HAHAHAHA Appreciate you sharing man
@@chickensendies hell yeah, officially in the friendzone 🤝🤝
@@jakebarton7991 🤣🤣🤣😉
I have the black and green one. It’s the nicest bike I’ve ever had and I really like it.
@@Runnin2Live Glad you have been enjoying yours as well!

@gregnowak2492 Oh, yea! Love me a good lever bleed! It is pretty satisfying HAHAHAHA

Finding a full squish 27.5 is nearly impossible these days. Bike came out great!
@KeoOutdoors they definitely seem to be getting rare. Appreciate it, Keo! Definitely happy with how it turned out 😁

@megashovelmanam1517 They definitely can be more bouncy. Getting the suspension dialed in for you can definitely help though 😁
@chickensendies Sometimes when you got to dial it in, it would be different than dialing up the Telephone ☎️ man you know what I mean...
i have praxis decendant cranks on my transition spur
@@txmale5070 how have they been for you
How often thought about trying to coil shock. Is there anything you could exactly pinpoint what feels different?

What stem did you use? Im also looking for a budget stem
