@@TheJp316 first I recommend upgrading to some better tires. Get some maxxis aggressors, high rollers or others. Overtime upgrade the brakes and seat but the most important for now is the tires.
@@LeBoosLeisure for sure I’ve been hearing about those tires everywhere on UA-cam I’m definitely gonna get them overall I love the bike I’ve always grown up poor first time owning a decent bike

I agree! I have that same setup for another bike I own but the aggressors are holding up well so far! Thanks for checking out the video man I appreciate it! Be safe out here!
Wow! I am not sure how you pulled that one off but that is awesome man! $200! You can't beat it! DSG can be great when it comes to customer service but it depends on the store and the manager. Believe it or not, I have two Nishiki Colorado's. One in FL and one in NC and I got one of them for $200 because of a continous mishap on the stores part. I had to drive over 2 hours to pick up the bike and it wasnt set up properly and the manager discounted the bike as low as he could (plus it was already on sale). You can get some great deals sometimes.
@@jameslopez5371 Oh wow! Yeah that is nice! I bet that colorwar is awesome! I just got a full suspension. I got the specialized epic. I wanted a blue colorway but they didnt have it.
LeBoo's Leisure going to see what the price is around Black Friday on this but really want that Nishiki you reviewed. No stores near me have it and looks like only large available online from Dicks. Need a medium.
I turned mine into a street racer. Continental Contact Speed 27.5x2.00, Acera M360 Shifters (to match the stock Derailleur). You wouldn't believe how important it is to match the shifters with the derailleur. I get super crispy shifting. Shimano M396/M395 Hydraulic brakes (RT66 rotors). Swapped out the hub grease for Lucas Heavy Duty. I want to put a 50/39 Sora crankset on it as the finishing touch, but I'm not sure if a 50t chainring is going to fit on the frame.
@@LeBoosLeisure If you're riding trails, you shouldn't need much more than a 42t. That's actually kinda over-sized. Typically trail riders won't do more than 40t on their bikes. What size were you thinking of going up to? The guy at the shop said that something like 48/38/28 triple was plausible. At first he said that the 50t was a no-go, but then said it could be done. I'm going to take it down there once the rain stops and get a second opinion.
The GT Aggressor just got it's new fresh drive train and shoes the SRAM NX Eagle 12x1 and I just upgraded the wheels with my favorite Specialized tires 2.3 ground control up front 2.1 fastrak on the back, shimmano 53 point hub and a new ceramic bearings bottom bracket I now have 730 dollars wrapped up in this bike going to go a little further and get hydraulic breaks and an adjustable stem and some new handlebars. Riding Santos tomorrow will tell you how it turns out. If you are ever in Ocala go see my homies at brick city bikes they are great and will take care of you for reasonable prices.
Oh wow! I want to see that! You really hooked it up! You need to make a video on that. I havent seen anyone put that kind of money, time, and awesome components on the GT Agressor yet! Let me know how it rides but I am sure it will be awesome. One thing about the GT Agressor is, it is light and the fram is really good. With those upgraded components, I am sure it will be awesome bro!
Not bad at all! I have seen them as low as $200 at times slightly used. Honestly, I know people hate my kickstand but it comes in handy so many times and never gets in my way. Maybe I am just lucky but I have a feeling it will scrap against a rock or something one day and then i'm going to be on the gorund. lol Make sure you upgrade those tires asap if you havent done so yet.
@@LeBoosLeisure the one I got is spanking new. No wear and tear whatsoever. Bout to slap a 9 speed derailleur on it and change the forks around spring.
Like yourself I have 6 bikes. I have derailleur from another bike so money's not the issue with that upgrade. Probably grab some Continentals first chance I get
How is the Expert model? Yeah, the pro is a really good bike once you make a few upgrades on it. I like how light it is. I just got the GT Avalanche and it is on the heavy side.
Almost the same as the Aggressor Pro. Except it has hydraulic brakes, Suntour XCM30 front fork (which I don’t think is any better than the XCT that’s on the Pro), and an Altus rear derailleur. Same shifters, bars, wheels, seat, etc, etc.
By the way the upgrades that he did to this bike are always the first upgrades you should do the any department store bike it will increase the confidence that you have riding it tremendously may not have the best drivetrain may not have the best brakes maybe a little bit heavy but once you start putting better grips better pedals that your feet can grip and stay there and confidence-building tires that grip the ground it changes the bike completely but I'm fixing to do is going to take it to the next level I can't wait until this weekend to try it out
Sup man! I’m thinking about buying this bike. What color is that? Gun metal? And what size bike do you think I need? I’m 5’7. I had a medium giant talon before and it was kind of big.
What’s up Andy! Yes the color is gun metal but they have made some more colors for this bike recently. If you are 5’7 I would def recommend a medium but if you can try out a small, do that but I think a medium would be perfect. I think Giants run a tad bit larger than GT so you should be good to go! Try to get this for a good price. Bikes have surged in prices due to demand but this bike use to see for $400 before Covid. Check on your local selling apps like offer up or letgo as people sell them on there often. Keep in mind you will need to do a tire upgrade from the start and that’s more money. It’s a good bike but for the cost of what these are selling for these days, you might be better off with a specialized rockhopper, or trek marlin 6 or 7.
My GT aggressor Pro is getting some love it's at Brick City bikes in Ocala I'm putting new drivetrain on it everybody knows he's going to be 1X I'm changing the tires to Ground Control in the front Fast Track in the back got to love those specialized tires changing the where Hub to a Shimano Acera racing Hub with 52 points of contact and considering upgrading the fork not sure yet it still works well. I cannot wait until I no longer have chain drops with this bike. I have new pedals coming in to match the color scheme which is the light blue color Comfort grips for The Handlebar and an adjustable gooseneck. I love your channel so much because you have both the same bikes I do except I'm a little bit jealous of your GT Avalanche
Hi Lawrence! Thanks for the comment and support! I was thinking of upgrading to a 1X system. I have it on the colorado and I love it. How much are you paying for that if you dont mind me asking and which one are you getting? I think the GT's are realy good bikes and I love the designs. Do you live in Ocala (SANTOS)? lol
@@LeBoosLeisure yes I live 5 minutes away from the 49th trailhead and I haven't received my phone call yet but I know Sram nx is 375 dont know what the labor charge is going to be I'm waiting on that it'll probably be under 500 then another hundred for the tires I'm considering putting purgatory on the front of my Nishiki and butchers in the back 3.0 inches and taking the Fast track and Ground Control off the Nishiki and putting it on the GT aggressor but they have other 1X options that are cheaper
Thanks for checking me out! Here is a new seat I highly recommend and it’s on Amazon. Cloud-9 Kush Plus Comfort Saddle www.amazon.com/dp/B07FJN72YJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_bDj4FbQEQWWHV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Also, buy some padded bike shorts or pants. They help a lot! I wear them underneath my regular shorts.
I put new maxxis wide tires on my bike I'm looking to upgrade my brakes next. I want to do hydraulic brakes and get a larger disk. Any ideas on what size disk I should go to? Or new brakes?
Thats cool! What color did you get? You will enjoy it but I highy recommend getting new tires soon if you are taking this in the woods! lol If you are going to be on the street and paved trails then the stock tires will do fine.
Great video ! I was about to purchase one as well , not in a hurry so hope to catch it on sale , since right now the are at $429 been June 2019, I thinks it’s a good beginner bike but you do have to make those upgrades .
Hi Chrsitiam and thank you fo rthe comment. Yes, wait until they go back on sale for $300. I would start to check Dick's Sporting Goods everyday up until the 4th of July. They normally have a big sale on the 4th of July. The reason why I say wait till it drops in price is because you will need to upgrade the tires asap and that will cost you around $75-$100 for good tires. If I see it back on sale first, I will let you know!
Well I always say any bike is as good as the rider so it depends depends on your rider style but I would say yes it’s a pretty good and fast bike. Upgrades can make it even faster but it’s good right out the store!
Nicholas Caminero the tires need to be upgraded ASAP. The pedals next. You can get away with everything else. Eventually the brakes should be upgraded too but not right away.
@@nicolasjuniorcaminero2526 If you wear a size 10.5 or lower I would go with racface chester pedals and they come inmany colors. If you wear a size 11 and up, I would go with the Crankbrothers Stamp series that have a size large.
Hi Nicholas, Yes that is the size you need! I am 6'0 even and a lage fit me well. I did have a medium at one point and i could get away with it but the large was a little better fitting for me.
Thanks for tips. I like your tire upgrades and will be ordering tomorrow. I am strictly a trail rider and I am pretty aggressive on my bike so I'll see how this handles with the new tires. I'll be adding the pedal upgrades as well but have you experienced any chain drops?
Jose Rodriguez Hi Jose! I never experienced any chain drops and I had a few aggressor pros and the Gt Avalanche. You will se a huge difference with the new Maxxis tires! I actually called Gt and complained about those stock tires but they wouldn’t do anything! Let me know how it goes and be safe out here! Crazy times we are living in!
@@LeBoosLeisure I saw someone else's review prior to yours and the guy said he experienced quite a few chain drops. I'm assuming the bike tech did not make the proper adjustments when he put it together but thanks again.
Thanks man I appreciate it! I had the green one but it was a size medium and after riding it, I needed a large so the only color they had was the black one so thats the one I had to get but the green one is the best color in my opinion! Thanks for watching and lookout for more videos coming up soon! By the way, DSG is having a big 4th of July bike sale in case you know anyone looking for a GT.
J Siciliano hey J! Yes go with the large! Are you doing basic trail riding or basic riding on pavement? If you are riding on pavement, you will be good with the stock tires but if you go on any type of trail, I highly recommend you upgrade the tires. Maxxis dhf, aggressors, or even high rollers will do! Hope this helps and thanks for checking out the channel!
LeBoo's Leisure I appreciate the response. Yes just pavement mostly. I appreciate the recommendations. I will be getting a large tomorrow hopefully. Thanks
Just picked up this bike. Same color. Good video. I always like to add my own style to anything too. Ordered that water bottle cage. I'll probably be getting a stem and pedals soon.
Thanks for the sub! If there is anything that I can do to help or answer any questions, let me know. FIrst thing I would do is change out those tires and go with the Agressors or DHF (Both Maxxis tires). The other components are decent until they need to be changed but the tires and maybe the pedals, I would chage asap. Be safe out there!
🤔 Thank you for this review. I find a boat load of videos on the Aggressor as well as other bikes, but you did what 98% of them do not. You stated your height and how a medium compared to a large. Awesome video, thank you again. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸😂 Too bad here in California you can only pick it up for $399 not $299. 👎🏻👎🏻
Thank you Nicholas for the comment! I try to add as much info. as possible. As far as price goes, Dick's Sporting Goods normally has them on sale during holidays. Check the store or DSG website on Labor Day weekend or any other upcoming holidays. You should be able to find them for $299 soon. If I see them drop, I will let you know.
So i got this bike for quite expensive actually,cause i did not know much about mtb and i would like to know if there are any available forks for this bike
Hey Andrew! Yes you can switch out the fork and there are many options out there. It all depends on how much travel you want in your fork. I would take it to your local bike shop and let them show you some options. Fox has good ones and there are many other brands!
Great video. I have the same bike and it's now 2 years old. Holding up well on harsh trails. I'm in the process of upgrading it not and am looking for new tires. I still have the stock set on.the 2.3 are nice size tires but do you think I can put a 2.5 on the back and front or will I need a 2.5 in the back and 2.3 in the front
JOHN.RUGBYJZ hi john! I had 2.8s on mine so I’m sure you can do a 2.5. It’s going to make your bike feel like a new bike for sure! I would go with maxxis agressor, high roller, or maxxis dhf tires. Let me know how they work out and be safe out there!
JOHN.RUGBYJZ I didn’t upgrade the brakes but I should have! They are decent but hydraulic would be better. I would look into some good shimano brakes for it. I’m sure you upgraded the pedals already. The tires are most important! It’s a good bike for sure!
What's up I just purchased gt aggressor pro ..man i pay $479 in dicks danm you thing 2019 and 2020 is the same thing so you thing the first thing is change the tires do you have other options on tire not that expensive that can work offroad so I won't kill myself the one you suggest was the maxxin.. $50+ shit I bought 2 bike need to change the tires that almost $250 crazy do you have any other option cheaper...I live in Miami in 1 of the videos I saw you riding in Broward park trail any suggestion...thank you keep doing the videos awesome
Hey Ralph! Congratulations on the bike! As far as the tires go, for that price range, the maxxis agressor, maxxis dhf, maxxis high rollers are your best option. You can find these tires on sale most places for two for $100 or $120 at the most. Good tires will keep you from sliding and slipping. They also keep you from getting hurt so they are good investments. You could look on offer up or let go app to see if you can get them cheaper. Markham park is awesome! Great place to start and gain skills on your bike! Make sure you get elbow and knee pads and a decent helmet! Any help I can provide just let me know!
Hi there! It does not but I did put one on! I think I put the link in the description. It never got in the way of anything when I was riding with it and it came in hand a lot more than you would think!
Bike Channelforwatching ahhh gotcha! Well if you can find one just like it, get that kind because it is adjustable. It has the three screws/bolts and can fit in the rear. It doesn’t get in the way of anything. There are different brands that sell similar ones.
Hey Farmer! Yes, the Pantera is gone. It was a decent bike but it depends on your budget. Right now, Dick's Sporting Goods has a sale on the Colorado and the Avalanche. These are my top two DSG bikes (Nishiki Colorado, GT Avalanche). The Agressor is on sale too but I would spend the extra money and go with the Colorado or Avalanche. The colorado or no longer sold in stores and only only online so you will have to just research it online and see if you want one or not but I highly recommend it. The Avalanche is a good choice too fpr the price and it has hydraulic brakes and it is a 29er. They are both good choices but two different bikes. The 1X11 on the Colorado is great along with the 27.5 tires. It all depends on budget and what you are using it for.
Thanks for the reply man. I was considering the ricochet instead of the avalanche cause I'm not into 29rs but it's clear that you think the Colorado is superior to the aggressor (money not being an issue). Can you please give me your opinion between the Colorado and Pantera(ricochet is the same exact bike I believe). I've seen reviews stating the the Colorado will have very limited fork upgrades and is quite heavy.
@@farmermike9262 I forgot I had the Pantera! It has been so long ago. lol I did love the color on that bike but between the two, I would go with the Colorado. The Colorado is heavy but not that much more heavier and the 1X11 drivetrain is worth the bike alone. That setup is worth at least $300 by itself so if yuo can get the Colorado for $400-$500, it is worth every penny! The stock tires are not bad either. The only issue that I had with my Colorado is the crankset which I will say, more than likely, will need to be upgraded to a better one. I paid like $150 to upgrade to a better SRAM crankset so there is not much more that I will do to mine at this point. The Colorado is one of those bikes that you will keep forever as long as it is maintained. Even when you upgrade or get better bikes, it is a good one to have around. I have had a few people see mine and tell me that they want one too but couldnt find one in store. These are guys that were riding expensive full suspensions bikes too! The Colorado is just a fun bike to have. Throw any trail on it and you will have a good time. Here in FL, we have a lot of tree stumps and roots on our trails and that bike can go over all of that with no problem. Another thing to keep in mind, watch my Nishiki Colorado videos. I have about 3-4 on my channel. Also, I wouldnt get the extened the warrenty for that bike and here is why. All Dick's is going to do is switch out a part of the same part so for example, when my crankset failed, they wanted to replace it with the same cheap set. What is the point is replacing a bad part with another bad part. So turn down the extended warrenty. It will come with a 12 month warrenty and if anything break, upgrade that part (which I doubt anything will). Another thing to keep in mind, I am not sure if you are ordering it online or buying in store but make sure you grease the pedals or make sure the mechanic greases the pedals when putting the bike together. Mine came with no grease and stripped the crankarm. I hope this helps man!
Very great commuter short geared not speed demon but hit orange leaf patch slammed back .3 secs controlled slide oh ur knubs much larger pattern similar but hose slides like b*tch compound u prom slide on a stick but still rubbers fault
Hi Tyler, The upgraded tires I have are tubless ready but I have not gone tubless yes. Most Maxxis tires are tubless ready. I recommend the agressor MAxxis tires of the DHF Minions.
Matthew Miranda Hey Matt! I didn’t do anything for the brakes but I would suggest upgrading to hydraulic brakes eventually. A rockshox fork would do wonders on this bike so you are correct! Let me know how the tires work out!
Hi. I am looking at this bike and am 5'8.5" approx. Sat on large and medium and cant decide which direction to go. I plan on riding anywhere from pavement to lower rated trails. Thoughts on size.
Hi. Michael. I would go with a medium if I were you. I. had a large and I am 6'0 even. I also had a medium at one point and I could ride it but it was a bit small for me so if I am 6 feet even and the medium was a bit small, I am sure at 5'8 a medium would be perfect for you. If you find that you need a bit more reach, you can always get a longer stem. I hope it helps and keep in mind about the tires that I mention in the video. If I can help, let me know! Be safe out there!
@@thenuclearnarwhale9188 I agree and you are correct! I contacted GT and they said they same thing. This is the number one mountain bike sold at Dicks. Even as an entry level mountain bike, most people who go to buy a bike at Dicks Sporting Goods probably don't have a lot of knowledge about the type of bikes they are buying (not all but many do not as I have spent plenty of time at DSG and I watch and listen how customers choose their bikes, it is entertaining) . Most people are going to think they can take this bike on their closest trail with no problems. I took it on a beginner trail and the traction was horrible. I agree it is more of a hybrid type tire but the bike isn't advertised as a hybrid bike. For the price of the bike, GT should include an entry level mountain bike tire like they have on the GT Avalanche.
@@thenuclearnarwhale9188 I can't recommend a tire in the $30 range but for just $20 more, you can find the Maxxis Aggressor tires. They are worth it! I think they are on Amazon now for $50 each but some bike shops will match that price and do a free install if you purchase in their shop. Every shop is different though. Those Maxxis Aggressors tires are awesome! I think I will buy them for all my bikes eventually. If I see or hear of any that go on sale for around $30, I will let you know. Oh, DSG is having a big bike sale right now. GT Agressor Pro's are $300 which is the lowest I have seen and the GT Avalanche is down to $500!
What's up Jelinha! Are you talking about the bike tube or a tire? The tube, yes, the tire, not so sure. My bike tube is a 27.5 1.90-2.125. If you are talking about the tire, what tire are you wanting to put on there?
have you considered upgrading the drivetrain? I am having so many problems with missed shifts on my aggressor pro and want to switch to a 2x10 but my buddy is telling me I won't be able to fit the 10 speed cassette on the stock wheel
Hey there! That is a really good question. I have not tried to switch out the drivetrain myself but I have thought about it. The Nishiki has a 1X11 and I love it. I would like all of my bikes to have a 1X system if it were up to me. I will look into but you might be right, it might not work on the Agressor Pro. I had problems with the shifting a little bit bit not to bad. I took it to my bike mechanic and he was able to work out the problems. If it keeps giving you problems, you need to switch it out for a new one. Did you happen to get the warrenty? You shouldn't have to use the warrenty if it keeps giving you problems but it also depends on your DSG Store Manager. Some are cool and some are not. I would talk to the Manager and see what he can do.
I got the comp, the components are crap, In the process of removing the all Terra crank, I can't believe they send these bikes out with such terrible components!
Yeah I agree that they will need upgrading! For beginners though, I think they can get away with stock components but will soon need an upgrade! The tires need to be replaced ASAP! Put a sram nx on at least lol
That bike is a large and the one above it is a small GT. WHat is your height? I am 6 feet even and I would go with a large if you are close to 6 feet to maybe 6'1.
Tom Aubuchon hey Tom! I got if off amazon! If you search my videos, you will find it I did a review on it and I put the link in the description. It’s just a regular bike stand. Amazon sells some decent work stands as well. Just check the reviews of each one but many are similar.
Gian Blanco hey Gian! That’s cool man just keep in mind about the upgrades I mentioned! The tires will need to be upgraded ASAP if you are going on a mountain bike trail. I would say go with the medium if you are 5’9. I’m 6 foot even and went with a large but I did get a medium one too one time and it wasn’t so bad but the large fit me better! The Gt Avalanche is a good bike too if you can get it for $550 or less and the Nishiki Colorado is awesome if you can get it for the same price! Hope this helps!

Hey Eder, I thought about it but I doubt I will go tubeless. If I do, I will def. do a video. I do have a video on a new bike coming up soon. :-) You have a GT Agressor Pro?
Adrian Reyes Well I would assume any of the top brands would be good. I’m not sure off hand as I have not had to replace any pads yet but just google best brake pads for mountain bikes and check out the reviews. The first thing you need to do with this bike is replace the tires!
Hi Adrian! I hope you are doing well and being safe! I do not have instagram believe it or not. lol I just have a youtube. Did you ever get new brakes for your bike?
Hi Christopher! Yes, that bag doesnt come with instructions but you have to bolt the little piece beneath the seat that clips into the actual bag. It should be two pieces and one screw. It bolts onto the bottom of the seat and it should lay flush on the bars that are beneath the seat. It is harder to explain but I assure you it is simple. Once you clip the bag onto it, there is a velcro strap that you wrap around the seat post for extra support. I hope that helps a little.
LeBoo's Leisure thanks man, not sure if I have different model or what not but can’t get the bag to fit, just not enough space. Ended up returning, but thank you anyways!
Noah Petteys well it depends on what drivetrain and crankset you have. To be honest, I would upgrade all those components to something like a sram nx with a sram bottom bracket and SRAM nx crankset. It will all set you back a few hundred but we’ll with it!
Hi there. The tire size is 27.5 X 2.10 so the tub would need to be in that size range depending on the brand of the tube. If you upgrade the tires, you might need to get a larger tube depending on the size. I hope this helps.
Yes got that part. My new tire is a 2.0, I am not sure what size range that stock tube is. Duro is sometimes 1.95-2.3 and 2.1-2.35 so I ordered tubes that cover the size range without question just to be safe
@@jameylane9196 I have been looking online and can not find the exact size for the stock tube. Sorry about that. If your tube is slightly larger, you should be ok.
The stock tires, no. You will need to upgrade which is what you want to do anyway. Even if they were tubeless ready, you do not want to keep the stock tires on this bike. DSG has this bike on sale this week for $300 for the 4th!
What are you going to do with your other bike I wish I could have a really cool bike like yours but I will do mine a little bit different with bright colors in case if you had to ride your bike at night time for emergency to go somewhere that's what I would do but don't mean time I like your bike that's pretty cool where did you say you got it from hybrid bike that's what I have a friend bought me another one cuz my other bike was not doing too good but I wish you would have never done that cuz all I was going to do was tried to get my bike fixed at the shop but he went bought me a new one but that's okay do you have to raise the handlebars up just a little bit so you're not leaning over looking at the tire while you're riding your bike that's another thing I need someone to answer questions on well I better let you go
I sure do! That is the Sunlite Cloud 9 seat. Here is the link: www.amazon.com/Sunlite-Cloud-9-Suspension-Gel-Sofa/dp/B000TD24VG/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=cloud+bike+seat&qid=1556632625&s=gateway&sr=8-5
Funny you ask that. I bought that memory foam blue seat cover from Ross believe it or not. If you have a local Ross clothing store, check the men's department where they sell sporting goods stuff. You should find it there. If worse comes to worse and you really want one. I can get it for you and ship it for a small fee. The seat cover was only like $5.
I got the Atlas 35 Handlebar and the Atlas 35 Stem and the bar is too big for the stem. Did you have any issues with your bar being wider than the stem?
@@TechSupportGPT I was about to say. lol That couldn't be right but yeah, I actually had that happen to be but the website shipped me the wrong stem. I'm sure you can just do the return to get the 35 stem. What colors did you go with?

@@mjmoreira2643 I had Maxxis tires 27.5x2.3 on mine. I like the Maxxis Agressors and Maxxis Minions. The DHF's and high roller maxxis tires are good too!
Hi Jeff. It depends on what size Maxxis tires you plan on using. On this bike, I have the 27.5X2.30 (60 psi). These tires required a different tube. If you get these same tires, I recommend buying a tube that is 27.5X2.5-3.2 tube. The stock tube is a 2.1 and a little small. I hope this helps.

I'll look into your upgrades
Loved your video
Thanks so much! Yeah check out the upgrades but def upgrade the tires first with some good Maxxis ones! Let me know how it goes and be safe out there!
Just got my GT PRO. Nice Vid!!
Thanks man I appreciate it! Hope you are enjoying the bike!
Dhr maxxis tire for the front and for the rear tire maxxis aggressor is a good down hilll set up!
I agree! I have that same setup for another bike I own but the aggressors are holding up well so far! Thanks for checking out the video man I appreciate it! Be safe out here!
Just purchased one, they took an additional $100 off,got it for $200. Really liking your upgrades!
Wow! I am not sure how you pulled that one off but that is awesome man! $200! You can't beat it! DSG can be great when it comes to customer service but it depends on the store and the manager. Believe it or not, I have two Nishiki Colorado's. One in FL and one in NC and I got one of them for $200 because of a continous mishap on the stores part. I had to drive over 2 hours to pick up the bike and it wasnt set up properly and the manager discounted the bike as low as he could (plus it was already on sale). You can get some great deals sometimes.
@@LeBoosLeisure thats what pretty much happened to me had to take 1 back because not set up properly. Really good customer service on their end!
I like the upgrades
Thank you James! I appreciate it! Do yo have this bike?
@@LeBoosLeisure no I have the scott aspect 2019 teal and orange color wave with orange grips and a orange water bottle holder.
@@jameslopez5371 Oh wow! Yeah that is nice! I bet that colorwar is awesome! I just got a full suspension. I got the specialized epic. I wanted a blue colorway but they didnt have it.
@@LeBoosLeisure Nice I've been wanting a full suspension myself.
@@jameslopez5371 There are some really good used ones out there! People start selling them this time of year as it gets colder.
Under rated!
Verst Plays I completely agree! Thanks for checking out the video!
Nice upgrades and Great colors!
Thanks a lot Michael! I apprecaite it! These are on sale at Dicks Sporting Goods at a good price!
LeBoo's Leisure going to see what the price is around Black Friday on this but really want that Nishiki you reviewed. No stores near me have it and looks like only large available online from Dicks. Need a medium.

Tires for sure! I replaced my tires with Maxxis Minion 2.3 in the front and Aggressor 2.5 in the rear. I also replaced my seat.
That’s a good combination Mariano! I have that same combo on another bike of mine! The seat and tires should def. be the first upgrades on this bike!
I turned mine into a street racer. Continental Contact Speed 27.5x2.00, Acera M360 Shifters (to match the stock Derailleur). You wouldn't believe how important it is to match the shifters with the derailleur. I get super crispy shifting. Shimano M396/M395 Hydraulic brakes (RT66 rotors). Swapped out the hub grease for Lucas Heavy Duty. I want to put a 50/39 Sora crankset on it as the finishing touch, but I'm not sure if a 50t chainring is going to fit on the frame.
That is awesome Kev! Let me know about the chainring. I was wondering about that as I wanted to switch it out with a raceface one.
@@LeBoosLeisure If you're riding trails, you shouldn't need much more than a 42t. That's actually kinda over-sized. Typically trail riders won't do more than 40t on their bikes. What size were you thinking of going up to? The guy at the shop said that something like 48/38/28 triple was plausible. At first he said that the 50t was a no-go, but then said it could be done. I'm going to take it down there once the rain stops and get a second opinion.
@@pkmntcgkl Cool! Thank you Kevin!
The GT Aggressor just got it's new fresh drive train and shoes the SRAM NX Eagle 12x1 and I just upgraded the wheels with my favorite Specialized tires 2.3 ground control up front 2.1 fastrak on the back, shimmano 53 point hub and a new ceramic bearings bottom bracket I now have 730 dollars wrapped up in this bike going to go a little further and get hydraulic breaks and an adjustable stem and some new handlebars. Riding Santos tomorrow will tell you how it turns out.
If you are ever in Ocala go see my homies at brick city bikes they are great and will take care of you for reasonable prices.
Oh wow! I want to see that! You really hooked it up! You need to make a video on that. I havent seen anyone put that kind of money, time, and awesome components on the GT Agressor yet! Let me know how it rides but I am sure it will be awesome. One thing about the GT Agressor is, it is light and the fram is really good. With those upgraded components, I am sure it will be awesome bro!
@@LeBoosLeisure you have enough info to find me on FB I'll send pics of both
Lawrence Morrison how was it?
I like it, good job
Thank you Jeff! I appreciate it!
Just got one out of the pawn shop for 250. Take the kickstand off😆
Not bad at all! I have seen them as low as $200 at times slightly used. Honestly, I know people hate my kickstand but it comes in handy so many times and never gets in my way. Maybe I am just lucky but I have a feeling it will scrap against a rock or something one day and then i'm going to be on the gorund. lol Make sure you upgrade those tires asap if you havent done so yet.
@@LeBoosLeisure the one I got is spanking new. No wear and tear whatsoever. Bout to slap a 9 speed derailleur on it and change the forks around spring.
@@ANTAGONISTKING That is a really good deal then! What about the tires?
Like yourself I have 6 bikes. I have derailleur from another bike so money's not the issue with that upgrade. Probably grab some Continentals first chance I get
Word up.
Hey Bryan, I posted a new video for the GT Avalanche and shouted you out! Check it out when you can.
@@LeBoosLeisure word, I'll check it out thanks brother
Loving the color matching. Sold my Aggressor Pro and got an Aggressor Expert. Kinda wish I had my Aggressor Pro back, sometimes.
How is the Expert model? Yeah, the pro is a really good bike once you make a few upgrades on it. I like how light it is. I just got the GT Avalanche and it is on the heavy side.
Almost the same as the Aggressor Pro. Except it has hydraulic brakes, Suntour XCM30 front fork (which I don’t think is any better than the XCT that’s on the Pro), and an Altus rear derailleur. Same shifters, bars, wheels, seat, etc, etc.
@@jeffb243 Oh ok gotcha! SOunds good then. I hope its just as light at the pro! You know that the pros are on sale right now at DSG for $300.
I do. My Aggressor Expert is up for sale on FB Marketplace, to get another Pro
@@jeffb243 You should put your bike on these two apps. It will probably sell faster. Offer up and Let go app. They are free phone apps.
By the way the upgrades that he did to this bike are always the first upgrades you should do the any department store bike it will increase the confidence that you have riding it tremendously may not have the best drivetrain may not have the best brakes maybe a little bit heavy but once you start putting better grips better pedals that your feet can grip and stay there and confidence-building tires that grip the ground it changes the bike completely but I'm fixing to do is going to take it to the next level I can't wait until this weekend to try it out
You are exactly right! Tires, pedals, grips, handlebar, and seat are the first thing that I normally change. :-)
Is it possible to install 29" wheels on this bike?
I don’t believe so do to the geometry of the frame. The GT Avalanche is the way to go for a 29er!
Sup man! I’m thinking about buying this bike. What color is that? Gun metal? And what size bike do you think I need? I’m 5’7. I had a medium giant talon before and it was kind of big.
What’s up Andy! Yes the color is gun metal but they have made some more colors for this bike recently. If you are 5’7 I would def recommend a medium but if you can try out a small, do that but I think a medium would be perfect. I think Giants run a tad bit larger than GT so you should be good to go! Try to get this for a good price. Bikes have surged in prices due to demand but this bike use to see for $400 before Covid. Check on your local selling apps like offer up or letgo as people sell them on there often. Keep in mind you will need to do a tire upgrade from the start and that’s more money. It’s a good bike but for the cost of what these are selling for these days, you might be better off with a specialized rockhopper, or trek marlin 6 or 7.
Great video.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you subbing and let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for the video! I’ll be starting the process of upgrading mine an I appreciate the information you presented.
No problem at all! YOu def. need to start with teh tires asap! lol
@OB ONE it’s a cheap one I got off Amazon.
My GT aggressor Pro is getting some love it's at Brick City bikes in Ocala I'm putting new drivetrain on it everybody knows he's going to be 1X I'm changing the tires to Ground Control in the front Fast Track in the back got to love those specialized tires changing the where Hub to a Shimano Acera racing Hub with 52 points of contact and considering upgrading the fork not sure yet it still works well. I cannot wait until I no longer have chain drops with this bike. I have new pedals coming in to match the color scheme which is the light blue color Comfort grips for The Handlebar and an adjustable gooseneck. I love your channel so much because you have both the same bikes I do except I'm a little bit jealous of your GT Avalanche
Hi Lawrence! Thanks for the comment and support! I was thinking of upgrading to a 1X system. I have it on the colorado and I love it. How much are you paying for that if you dont mind me asking and which one are you getting? I think the GT's are realy good bikes and I love the designs. Do you live in Ocala (SANTOS)? lol
@@LeBoosLeisure yes I live 5 minutes away from the 49th trailhead and I haven't received my phone call yet but I know Sram nx is 375 dont know what the labor charge is going to be I'm waiting on that it'll probably be under 500 then another hundred for the tires I'm considering putting purgatory on the front of my Nishiki and butchers in the back 3.0 inches and taking the Fast track and Ground Control off the Nishiki and putting it on the GT aggressor but they have other 1X options that are cheaper
I mainly clicked on this vid for the seat change but you didn’t list it lol my ass be hurting from the seat on this damn bike
Thanks for checking me out! Here is a new seat I highly recommend and it’s on Amazon. Cloud-9 Kush Plus Comfort Saddle www.amazon.com/dp/B07FJN72YJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_bDj4FbQEQWWHV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Also, buy some padded bike shorts or pants. They help a lot! I wear them underneath my regular shorts.
Needs rather rack and mudflaps and kinda inglue storage
I put new maxxis wide tires on my bike I'm looking to upgrade my brakes next. I want to do hydraulic brakes and get a larger disk. Any ideas on what size disk I should go to? Or new brakes?
I recommend shimano slx or xt braked! Kind of expensive and hard to get these days but they are worth it!!!
Great upgrades. Picked up this bike and using the kickstand you linked and c9 cover.
Thats cool! What color did you get? You will enjoy it but I highy recommend getting new tires soon if you are taking this in the woods! lol If you are going to be on the street and paved trails then the stock tires will do fine.
Great video ! I was about to purchase one as well , not in a hurry so hope to catch it on sale , since right now the are at $429 been June 2019, I thinks it’s a good beginner bike but you do have to make those upgrades .
Hi Chrsitiam and thank you fo rthe comment. Yes, wait until they go back on sale for $300. I would start to check Dick's Sporting Goods everyday up until the 4th of July. They normally have a big sale on the 4th of July. The reason why I say wait till it drops in price is because you will need to upgrade the tires asap and that will cost you around $75-$100 for good tires. If I see it back on sale first, I will let you know!
Hey the GT Aggressor Pro is on sale right now for $300 for 4th of July sale!
What size do you recommend me I am 5’5 ?
I would say medium for sure
I got another question, would you say the bike is pretty fast?
Well I always say any bike is as good as the rider so it depends depends on your rider style but I would say yes it’s a pretty good and fast bike. Upgrades can make it even faster but it’s good right out the store!
LeBoo's Leisure what upgrades would you recommend the most?
Nicholas Caminero the tires need to be upgraded ASAP. The pedals next. You can get away with everything else. Eventually the brakes should be upgraded too but not right away.
LeBoo's Leisure which pedals would you recommend?
@@nicolasjuniorcaminero2526 If you wear a size 10.5 or lower I would go with racface chester pedals and they come inmany colors. If you wear a size 11 and up, I would go with the Crankbrothers Stamp series that have a size large.
How tall are you? I’m 5’9 or 5’10 and I bought size M
Hi Nicholas, Yes that is the size you need! I am 6'0 even and a lage fit me well. I did have a medium at one point and i could get away with it but the large was a little better fitting for me.
LeBoo's Leisure thanks man, took me forever to find out if I needed a large or M, hopefully it’s perfect for me
Thanks for tips. I like your tire upgrades and will be ordering tomorrow. I am strictly a trail rider and I am pretty aggressive on my bike so I'll see how this handles with the new tires. I'll be adding the pedal upgrades as well but have you experienced any chain drops?
Jose Rodriguez Hi Jose! I never experienced any chain drops and I had a few aggressor pros and the Gt Avalanche. You will se a huge difference with the new Maxxis tires! I actually called Gt and complained about those stock tires but they wouldn’t do anything! Let me know how it goes and be safe out here! Crazy times we are living in!
@@LeBoosLeisure I saw someone else's review prior to yours and the guy said he experienced quite a few chain drops. I'm assuming the bike tech did not make the proper adjustments when he put it together but thanks again.
I got the bright green GT and love it. I agree the stock tires SUCK! Nice build
Thanks man I appreciate it! I had the green one but it was a size medium and after riding it, I needed a large so the only color they had was the black one so thats the one I had to get but the green one is the best color in my opinion! Thanks for watching and lookout for more videos coming up soon! By the way, DSG is having a big 4th of July bike sale in case you know anyone looking for a GT.
Tj Caldwell Heyy same here, what size frame?
I’m 5’11”. Should I get a large ? Just going to do some basic riding.
J Siciliano hey J! Yes go with the large! Are you doing basic trail riding or basic riding on pavement? If you are riding on pavement, you will be good with the stock tires but if you go on any type of trail, I highly recommend you upgrade the tires. Maxxis dhf, aggressors, or even high rollers will do! Hope this helps and thanks for checking out the channel!
LeBoo's Leisure I appreciate the response. Yes just pavement mostly. I appreciate the recommendations. I will be getting a large tomorrow hopefully. Thanks
Just picked up this bike. Same color. Good video. I always like to add my own style to anything too. Ordered that water bottle cage. I'll probably be getting a stem and pedals soon.
That is awesome man! What pedals did you get and stem?
Just picked one up today, looking forward to putting some miles on it. Thanks for the video
Thanks for the sub! If there is anything that I can do to help or answer any questions, let me know. FIrst thing I would do is change out those tires and go with the Agressors or DHF (Both Maxxis tires). The other components are decent until they need to be changed but the tires and maybe the pedals, I would chage asap. Be safe out there!
🤔 Thank you for this review. I find a boat load of videos on the Aggressor as well as other bikes, but you did what 98% of them do not. You stated your height and how a medium compared to a large. Awesome video, thank you again. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸😂 Too bad here in California you can only pick it up for $399 not $299. 👎🏻👎🏻
Thank you Nicholas for the comment! I try to add as much info. as possible. As far as price goes, Dick's Sporting Goods normally has them on sale during holidays. Check the store or DSG website on Labor Day weekend or any other upcoming holidays. You should be able to find them for $299 soon. If I see them drop, I will let you know.
actually right now it’s around $700 just INSANE!
@@ozielmelendez IKR! For some reason they upped the prices on it AND the Nishiki Colorado comp!😡
If u can stomach a 26" The Best i found in hayeday Pacific 1500 SX the FX has issues not SX model
So i got this bike for quite expensive actually,cause i did not know much about mtb and i would like to know if there are any available forks for this bike
Hey Andrew! Yes you can switch out the fork and there are many options out there. It all depends on how much travel you want in your fork. I would take it to your local bike shop and let them show you some options. Fox has good ones and there are many other brands!
Great video. I have the same bike and it's now 2 years old. Holding up well on harsh trails. I'm in the process of upgrading it not and am looking for new tires. I still have the stock set on.the 2.3 are nice size tires but do you think I can put a 2.5 on the back and front or will I need a 2.5 in the back and 2.3 in the front
JOHN.RUGBYJZ hi john! I had 2.8s on mine so I’m sure you can do a 2.5. It’s going to make your bike feel like a new bike for sure! I would go with maxxis agressor, high roller, or maxxis dhf tires. Let me know how they work out and be safe out there!
@@LeBoosLeisure thanks man. also did you upgrade your brakes on this gt? That's also high on my list if upgrades
JOHN.RUGBYJZ I didn’t upgrade the brakes but I should have! They are decent but hydraulic would be better. I would look into some good shimano brakes for it. I’m sure you upgraded the pedals already. The tires are most important! It’s a good bike for sure!
What's up I just purchased gt aggressor pro ..man i pay $479 in dicks danm you thing 2019 and 2020 is the same thing so you thing the first thing is change the tires do you have other options on tire not that expensive that can work offroad so I won't kill myself the one you suggest was the maxxin.. $50+ shit I bought 2 bike need to change the tires that almost $250 crazy do you have any other option cheaper...I live in Miami in 1 of the videos I saw you riding in Broward park trail any suggestion...thank you keep doing the videos awesome
Hey Ralph! Congratulations on the bike! As far as the tires go, for that price range, the maxxis agressor, maxxis dhf, maxxis high rollers are your best option. You can find these tires on sale most places for two for $100 or $120 at the most. Good tires will keep you from sliding and slipping. They also keep you from getting hurt so they are good investments. You could look on offer up or let go app to see if you can get them cheaper. Markham park is awesome! Great place to start and gain skills on your bike! Make sure you get elbow and knee pads and a decent helmet! Any help I can provide just let me know!
@@LeBoosLeisure thank you...hope to see you 1 day out there
Do you think 2.4 or 2.5 will be fit on gt's frame?thanks
Hi Michael! I think you can do a 2.4 but not sure about a 2.5. I wouldn’t go to wide with this bike but 2.4 should be ok.
Just got my aggressor pro a few months ago and I’m loving it expect for the pedals. Definitely will change out the tires at some point too
Hey there! Congrats on the bike! Yes, change the pedals but the tires, you need to change those asap. My agressor Maxxis tires are doing great!
Kirby I got a medium and I’m 5’8” 160 on the website they have a chart for size and height.
Kirby I was wondering the same thing, if u are near a dicks I would try one out if possible. But the medium has been good size for me
Hey great video!, do you think I could run 27.5 x 2.6 or even a 2.8 maxxis?
Carlos Vasquez thanks Carlos! Not sure about a 2.8 but 2.6 might work. I had 2.3 with a little room to spare so that’s why I say a 2.6 might make it.
Does it come with a kickstand
Hi there! It does not but I did put one on! I think I put the link in the description. It never got in the way of anything when I was riding with it and it came in hand a lot more than you would think!
LeBoo's Leisure thanks
LeBoo's Leisure the one you linked was out of stock
Bike Channelforwatching ahhh gotcha! Well if you can find one just like it, get that kind because it is adjustable. It has the three screws/bolts and can fit in the rear. It doesn’t get in the way of anything. There are different brands that sell similar ones.
Was thinking either the Colorado the aggressor or the ricochet sport. Any suggestions? You got rid of the Pantera?
Hey Farmer! Yes, the Pantera is gone. It was a decent bike but it depends on your budget. Right now, Dick's Sporting Goods has a sale on the Colorado and the Avalanche. These are my top two DSG bikes (Nishiki Colorado, GT Avalanche). The Agressor is on sale too but I would spend the extra money and go with the Colorado or Avalanche. The colorado or no longer sold in stores and only only online so you will have to just research it online and see if you want one or not but I highly recommend it. The Avalanche is a good choice too fpr the price and it has hydraulic brakes and it is a 29er. They are both good choices but two different bikes. The 1X11 on the Colorado is great along with the 27.5 tires. It all depends on budget and what you are using it for.
Thanks for the reply man. I was considering the ricochet instead of the avalanche cause I'm not into 29rs but it's clear that you think the Colorado is superior to the aggressor (money not being an issue). Can you please give me your opinion between the Colorado and Pantera(ricochet is the same exact bike I believe). I've seen reviews stating the the Colorado will have very limited fork upgrades and is quite heavy.
@@farmermike9262 I forgot I had the Pantera! It has been so long ago. lol I did love the color on that bike but between the two, I would go with the Colorado. The Colorado is heavy but not that much more heavier and the 1X11 drivetrain is worth the bike alone. That setup is worth at least $300 by itself so if yuo can get the Colorado for $400-$500, it is worth every penny! The stock tires are not bad either. The only issue that I had with my Colorado is the crankset which I will say, more than likely, will need to be upgraded to a better one. I paid like $150 to upgrade to a better SRAM crankset so there is not much more that I will do to mine at this point. The Colorado is one of those bikes that you will keep forever as long as it is maintained. Even when you upgrade or get better bikes, it is a good one to have around. I have had a few people see mine and tell me that they want one too but couldnt find one in store. These are guys that were riding expensive full suspensions bikes too! The Colorado is just a fun bike to have. Throw any trail on it and you will have a good time. Here in FL, we have a lot of tree stumps and roots on our trails and that bike can go over all of that with no problem. Another thing to keep in mind, watch my Nishiki Colorado videos. I have about 3-4 on my channel. Also, I wouldnt get the extened the warrenty for that bike and here is why. All Dick's is going to do is switch out a part of the same part so for example, when my crankset failed, they wanted to replace it with the same cheap set. What is the point is replacing a bad part with another bad part. So turn down the extended warrenty. It will come with a 12 month warrenty and if anything break, upgrade that part (which I doubt anything will). Another thing to keep in mind, I am not sure if you are ordering it online or buying in store but make sure you grease the pedals or make sure the mechanic greases the pedals when putting the bike together. Mine came with no grease and stripped the crankarm. I hope this helps man!
Very great commuter short geared not speed demon but hit orange leaf patch slammed back .3 secs controlled slide oh ur knubs much larger pattern similar but hose slides like b*tch compound u prom slide on a stick but still rubbers fault
What thread size of pedals is on this bike? 9/16
Yes! That is correct! They are your standard size pedals!
Are the upgraded tires you have tubeless or tube in? Also do you think tubeless is possible with though’s tires
Hi Tyler,
The upgraded tires I have are tubless ready but I have not gone tubless yes. Most Maxxis tires are tubless ready. I recommend the agressor MAxxis tires of the DHF Minions.
Thank you!
Great video. Just got the tires. What did you do for the breaks? Also, get a rockshox for on it! Freaking awesome!
Matthew Miranda Hey Matt! I didn’t do anything for the brakes but I would suggest upgrading to hydraulic brakes eventually. A rockshox fork would do wonders on this bike so you are correct! Let me know how the tires work out!

DJ WORKWELL no I’m from NC originality but I have been in Orlando for a little while now.
LeBoo's Leisure ok
Hi. I am looking at this bike and am 5'8.5" approx. Sat on large and medium and cant decide which direction to go. I plan on riding anywhere from pavement to lower rated trails. Thoughts on size.
Hi. Michael. I would go with a medium if I were you. I. had a large and I am 6'0 even. I also had a medium at one point and I could ride it but it was a bit small for me so if I am 6 feet even and the medium was a bit small, I am sure at 5'8 a medium would be perfect for you. If you find that you need a bit more reach, you can always get a longer stem. I hope it helps and keep in mind about the tires that I mention in the video. If I can help, let me know! Be safe out there!
The tires are more for light trails since it is an xc bike
Also a bit more of a hybrid tires
@@thenuclearnarwhale9188 I agree and you are correct! I contacted GT and they said they same thing. This is the number one mountain bike sold at Dicks. Even as an entry level mountain bike, most people who go to buy a bike at Dicks Sporting Goods probably don't have a lot of knowledge about the type of bikes they are buying (not all but many do not as I have spent plenty of time at DSG and I watch and listen how customers choose their bikes, it is entertaining) . Most people are going to think they can take this bike on their closest trail with no problems. I took it on a beginner trail and the traction was horrible. I agree it is more of a hybrid type tire but the bike isn't advertised as a hybrid bike. For the price of the bike, GT should include an entry level mountain bike tire like they have on the GT Avalanche.
@@LeBoosLeisure I agree also can you recommend any tires similar to the maxxis aggressor but costs around 30$
@@thenuclearnarwhale9188 I can't recommend a tire in the $30 range but for just $20 more, you can find the Maxxis Aggressor tires. They are worth it! I think they are on Amazon now for $50 each but some bike shops will match that price and do a free install if you purchase in their shop. Every shop is different though. Those Maxxis Aggressors tires are awesome! I think I will buy them for all my bikes eventually. If I see or hear of any that go on sale for around $30, I will let you know.

have you considered upgrading the drivetrain? I am having so many problems with missed shifts on my aggressor pro and want to switch to a 2x10 but my buddy is telling me I won't be able to fit the 10 speed cassette on the stock wheel
Hey there! That is a really good question. I have not tried to switch out the drivetrain myself but I have thought about it. The Nishiki has a 1X11 and I love it. I would like all of my bikes to have a 1X system if it were up to me. I will look into but you might be right, it might not work on the Agressor Pro. I had problems with the shifting a little bit bit not to bad. I took it to my bike mechanic and he was able to work out the problems. If it keeps giving you problems, you need to switch it out for a new one. Did you happen to get the warrenty? You shouldn't have to use the warrenty if it keeps giving you problems but it also depends on your DSG Store Manager. Some are cool and some are not. I would talk to the Manager and see what he can do.
I got the comp, the components are crap, In the process of removing the all Terra crank, I can't believe they send these bikes out with such terrible components!

whats up bro love the bike just purchased one online im 5'9 190lbs what size fram do u recommend
Gian Blanco hey Gian! That’s cool man just keep in mind about the upgrades I mentioned! The tires will need to be upgraded ASAP if you are going on a mountain bike trail. I would say go with the medium if you are 5’9. I’m 6 foot even and went with a large but I did get a medium one too one time and it wasn’t so bad but the large fit me better! The Gt Avalanche is a good bike too if you can get it for $550 or less and the Nishiki Colorado is awesome if you can get it for the same price! Hope this helps!
Mine nne 2 things to brag to Norman Reedus my bike like tripled in weight accessories lock on bike pump light bacd led reflector and odd handle bar cup holder i stress the importance of this at Dick's Sporting Goods put on inside towards u inside ur shadow keeps drink cool bonus handling mathematically will do MUCH better but my bike tag yeah ouch i have medium GT Aggressor Pro my tires stock from MA looks like ur current was always a biker skate FAST thin ankles CANT STOP and every skateboard broken on ollie attempt
Hey what’s up men !!!! Question why don’t go tubeless on this bike and if you do ... do a video !!! About it ....
Hey Eder, I thought about it but I doubt I will go tubeless. If I do, I will def. do a video. I do have a video on a new bike coming up soon. :-) You have a GT Agressor Pro?
What would be some good break pads for this bike ?
Adrian Reyes Well I would assume any of the top brands would be good. I’m not sure off hand as I have not had to replace any pads yet but just google best brake pads for mountain bikes and check out the reviews. The first thing you need to do with this bike is replace the tires!
Hi Adrian! I hope you are doing well and being safe! I do not have instagram believe it or not. lol I just have a youtube. Did you ever get new brakes for your bike?
Hey thanks bought that same bag on your recommendation and am having trouble fitting it. Any tricks?
Hi Christopher! Yes, that bag doesnt come with instructions but you have to bolt the little piece beneath the seat that clips into the actual bag. It should be two pieces and one screw. It bolts onto the bottom of the seat and it should lay flush on the bars that are beneath the seat. It is harder to explain but I assure you it is simple. Once you clip the bag onto it, there is a velcro strap that you wrap around the seat post for extra support. I hope that helps a little.
LeBoo's Leisure thanks man, not sure if I have different model or what not but can’t get the bag to fit, just not enough space. Ended up returning, but thank you anyways!
When you when with 2.3 maxxis tires, what size of tubes did you went with?
Hi Tuner, I went with the 27.5 2.5X3.2 tubes. I believe the stock tube is a 2.1. Hope this helps.
@@LeBoosLeisure Thanks
Hey i need a new bottom bracket do you know what I could buy to upgrade ?
Noah Petteys well it depends on what drivetrain and crankset you have. To be honest, I would upgrade all those components to something like a sram nx with a sram bottom bracket and SRAM nx crankset. It will all set you back a few hundred but we’ll with it!
Anyone happen to know what the tube width range is on the stock Duro tubes on these?
Hi there. The tire size is 27.5 X 2.10 so the tub would need to be in that size range depending on the brand of the tube. If you upgrade the tires, you might need to get a larger tube depending on the size. I hope this helps.
Yes got that part. My new tire is a 2.0, I am not sure what size range that stock tube is. Duro is sometimes 1.95-2.3 and 2.1-2.35 so I ordered tubes that cover the size range without question just to be safe
@@jameylane9196 I have been looking online and can not find the exact size for the stock tube. Sorry about that. If your tube is slightly larger, you should be ok.
Thank you. I'll use the stock ones as extras.
@@jameylane9196 No problem and yes, that is the same thing that I am going to do!
Prob my b
Does it come with tubeless ready wheels/rims?
The stock tires, no. You will need to upgrade which is what you want to do anyway. Even if they were tubeless ready, you do not want to keep the stock tires on this bike. DSG has this bike on sale this week for $300 for the 4th!
What are you going to do with your other bike I wish I could have a really cool bike like yours but I will do mine a little bit different with bright colors in case if you had to ride your bike at night time for emergency to go somewhere that's what I would do but don't mean time I like your bike that's pretty cool where did you say you got it from hybrid bike that's what I have a friend bought me another one cuz my other bike was not doing too good but I wish you would have never done that cuz all I was going to do was tried to get my bike fixed at the shop but he went bought me a new one but that's okay do you have to raise the handlebars up just a little bit so you're not leaning over looking at the tire while you're riding your bike that's another thing I need someone to answer questions on well I better let you go
How much does the size medium weigh?
Looking for that info. now. It is not on the DSG website. I will keep looking and keep you posred.
Do you have the link to the seat on the top bike?
I sure do! That is the Sunlite Cloud 9 seat. Here is the link: www.amazon.com/Sunlite-Cloud-9-Suspension-Gel-Sofa/dp/B000TD24VG/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=cloud+bike+seat&qid=1556632625&s=gateway&sr=8-5
whered you get the seat cover from?
Funny you ask that. I bought that memory foam blue seat cover from Ross believe it or not. If you have a local Ross clothing store, check the men's department where they sell sporting goods stuff. You should find it there. If worse comes to worse and you really want one. I can get it for you and ship it for a small fee. The seat cover was only like $5.
I got the Atlas 35 Handlebar and the Atlas 35 Stem and the bar is too big for the stem. Did you have any issues with your bar being wider than the stem?
I figured it out. I actually bought the 31.8mm stem SMH
@@TechSupportGPT I was about to say. lol That couldn't be right but yeah, I actually had that happen to be but the website shipped me the wrong stem. I'm sure you can just do the return to get the 35 stem. What colors did you go with?
@@LeBoosLeisure I got the stealth bar and the blue stem.
@@TechSupportGPT Oh ok cool! I just recently reviewed some cool new products you may be intersted in so check my latest videos I posted. One is a really good phone mountand the other is bike frame protection wrap.
do you have the link for the seat on the top bike?
Yes, for the top bike it is the cloud 9 C9 saddle. you can find it here: www.amazon.com/Sunlite-Cloud-9-Bicycle-Suspension-Cruiser/dp/B000TD24VG
For the bike on the bottom, that is just a blue seat cover.
@@LeBoosLeisure thank you.
@@mjmoreira2643 No problem at all! Check out my other videos for more products you may be interested in!
@@LeBoosLeisure I have the same bike but I mostly use it for road. What tires do you recommend and should I go wider?
@@mjmoreira2643 I had Maxxis tires 27.5x2.3 on mine. I like the Maxxis Agressors and Maxxis Minions. The DHF's and high roller maxxis tires are good too!
Are the stock tubes ok for the Maxxis tires?
Hi Jeff. It depends on what size Maxxis tires you plan on using. On this bike, I have the 27.5X2.30 (60 psi). These tires required a different tube. If you get these same tires, I recommend buying a tube that is 27.5X2.5-3.2 tube. The stock tube is a 2.1 and a little small. I hope this helps.
LeBoo's Leisure thanks for the info. Ended up going with same size and bought new tubes
@@jwilkins1121 Cool! Which tires did you go with?
LeBoo's Leisure Maxxis aggressor 27x2.3
LeBoo's Leisure bike handles so much better in the trails now
