After having a heart attack two months ago , I literally got into this hobby a week and a half ago. Thanks to you both for posting videos that are both enjoyable to watch and educational. And a Merry Christmas to y'all and the group.
😂😂😂😂 stones and lbs in the UK! How many times man!?😂😂😂😂 Looking forward to the real-time on cheech, I hope those brakes work as well as they look. Loved the viewers rides (😂😂😂😂still can't help it), Matt's Konas a great looking thing. Take care gents 😎🍻👍
Another Great episode!!! #Wolfticknation viewers rides was so good the light blue schwinn Al comp ❤😍🤩 so sweet 🤙🏾 the Mongoose schwinn combo both my favorite and that “fat bike” looked like it could plow through anything with the wood cart attached 💪🏾💯 Thank you guys for sharing. Can’t wait for the Real time review on “Cheech Marin” 💨
countless chain routing nightmares ...... i just couldnt get it the first time i tried over and over. Anyways awesome episode yet again well done guys hope the whole package comes together well and that the field tes goes superb and looking forward to it too, stay safe guys and you guys have a very Merry Xmass and a superb New Year all the best guys
Hey dudes! Great video as always. Keep inspiring everyone to get out on the trails! These build videos are motivating, and a great learning tool! Merry Christmas to the both of you!!
Joe looks like he is about to be ridden by the bike in that crash pic. Thanks for having readers rides! Always fun. Hey, I hear it might snow down there, if so it might be the time to bring back your Monster Malice fat bike! It already snowed where I live, to the tune of 44" in a week. We have had over 4 feet so far this year. Right now the trails are not good.
Happy Holidays Gentlemen! Thanks for the shout out again and look forward to seeing Cheech on the trail. Would love to see the head to head battle one day Cheech vs Chong.
Now that’s interesting, the set of z race brakes I got (which I brought separately ) had a hose that was plenty long enough, but I also ride uk style with “backwards” brakes. I also went for their 4 pot versions rather than the 2 pots🎉 that came in this bundle. I will say the visual difference to the bike is epic! Looks very cool. I will have to send you guys one of those cassettes as I don’t think you’ve ever featured that brand before….
Euro style isn’t backwards my dude. The vast majority of cycles of any kind worldwide are right front, left rear. I converted mine to rf lr so there’s no confusion between mtb and motorcycle.
I think this is the longest I've ever taken to watch one of your guys videos, been busy with work, retail. I gotta send you guys some pics of my Aggressor Pro now that it's been winterized it looks so damn hideous it's hilarious but I'm waiting on a new back tire, Maxxis Minion DHR II so I'll have better grip in the snow, I'll send some pics your way on Thursday since Amazons shipping went from 2 day to a week shipping. Regarding what you said about the nice snappy shifter with that ltwoo groupset you guys should try out the a Box 4 groupset, i know you've already tried a Box 3 (Ithink it was a Box 3), my Box 4 is snappy and smooth as butter when shifting. Anyway keep up the awesome work guys.
I'm using the Zrace X4's (4 cylinder calipers but same lever as the X2's) this season on two of my bikes after my Shimano levers failed. Compared to my Shimano M8120 they are comparable in power, but the Shimano's servowave will deliver more power on the last 1/3 of the stroke. That being said, one-finger braking is absolutely no problem, and you can lock the wheels just as easily as with the Shimanos. They are terrific brakes. For the price, nothing else comes remotely close. I have not tried the X2's, but the X4's are so light that I don't really see any reason to choose the X2's over the X4's.
14:43 It will be interesting to see how these rotors perform, as they have massive venting holes, little braking surface. On a rotor you sohuld want as much braking surface as possible and as much cooling as possible, but here they went with maximum cooling, and little braking surface.I suspect these will be a bit flexy, might make more noise, might not brake as well.
Have you ever tried to mount a hydraulic brake cutout kit for an ebike? It's a massive pain in the arse. Those zrace brake levers have a great flat spot to epoxy the magnet to. It will be interesting to see how well they go.
Chain measurement? I do what you do, except I add only two more links. Perhaps I should go for four next time? By the way, I've added a 13T and 15T jockey wheels on my L-TWOO A12 rear derailleur recently. Now it makes sense to add four chain links instead of two.
5:55 If the dropper post can't handle this it's trash. But make sure it's clean, or you can scrape up the stanchion. But nothing wrong with clamping it at the post. But clamping on the fram on a carbon frame can end badly if you tighten it hard, especially easy to snap a road frame. but how strong the frame is varies. But my frame is 7020 T6 aluminium, and it uses thick tubes, rated for downhill.
12:05 Shimano hoses are not great, but they work, but easy to damage in a crash,also avoid using zip ties to clean up the cockpit, they will rub and dig into the hose. But better hoses exist, but to destroy it an brutal crash is needed. But watch out for zip tie rub, and check hose after every crash, so it's not kinked, cut.
Only reason I always route the chain correctly is I have the park tools playing in the background when I do it. Edit: it’s funny I’m watching cheech the bike with my pomski Jack Russell chihuahua who’s name just happens to be Cheech.
Grin.... Wolfman. Tick weighs more than the bike! Hanging the bike by the dropper won't hurt it! Y'all shouldn't be smoking anything after being sick 🤢.
Oh no you got oil on Wolfman's Justin Bieber cd collection 🤣. I like the looks of those zrace brake levers, calipers didn't bother me too much either. Those are not M's on the stock rotors, they are W's for Wolftick 🦥🦥 Enjoy your eggnog and hopefully you had a great Christmas!
🤣🤣Justin Bieber Collection!! Wolfman is crying lol. Hope all was well with you too Slothsquatch, I like to way you think totally w's 😉. Got a patreon video coming out tomorrow and just let Dan Boyes know we got to paint the bars today!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS 😂 glad I could bring some laughter to you two this time since your videos give the nation so much of it the rest of the time. Oh nice, can't wait for the next Patreon. Stay warm and toasty!
Gotta love Wolfman hollering from the "Peanut Gallery" section of the garage 😆
You should hear me coaching🤬🤣👍.
It's the peanut gallery! Haha
@@TheCaptainsCog Agreed ! I just re read it before clicking to this and was like, "what the hell did I say".. *fixed.. gratsi
Haha Wolfman is Ticked off again!

Thanks for sharing my ride! Love your videos! Happy holidays! 🎄
I have the 4 piston versions of those brakes on both my FS and HT bikes. They've been great and I have no complaints.
😂😂😂😂 stones and lbs in the UK! How many times man!?😂😂😂😂
Looking forward to the real-time on cheech, I hope those brakes work as well as they look.
Loved the viewers rides (😂😂😂😂still can't help it), Matt's Konas a great looking thing.
Take care gents 😎🍻👍
Oh yes lbs it is unless you’re a weight weenie then it’s grams 😂
You guys do a great job advising us where to spend our hard earned,...thx blokes!

Oh and the Brooks saddle was my fathers day gift this year, def less $hittier than my typical fathers day gifts 😉
Man, that was an awesome gift!! Cool kids I guess 😎
great gift. So much love for Brrooks saddles.
Well so much for snow it looks like its rain in Morrilton. Merry Christmas!
Yes!! Lol
Very good video again 👍 great views rides love that segment love wolfman shouting he must be feeling a lot better have a great Christmas 👍
Right back at ya brother!! He is doing great and it was a nice fee days
Great video, I'm loving the look of the zrace set-up.
Thanks brother, the setup if it works well is gonna be an eye catcher for sure 👍
Merry Christmas, guys! (Awesome video, as always too) 😁✌️
11:03 The WOLF-OSOPHER !!! IDK why but I had to pause it... the look on his face lol
Well, you know🤨😜

I wouldnt put it on the dropper! Dont really know, but it would worry me! Just sized a chain last week using the Wolftick method, works every time!
Hell yeah!!! Thanks Chris, hope you had a merry Christmas 🎅
Love your guys channel
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all and your viewers too...🎄
Merry Christmas wolftiick And Wolfman
🎉Right back at ya brother.
Hey dudes! Great video as always. Keep inspiring everyone to get out on the trails! These build videos are motivating, and a great learning tool! Merry Christmas to the both of you!!
Thanks Greg, love that you love them man. I cannot wait to ride this animal!!
That's such a clean looking bike. Totally dig it
I think so too!
Rad levers, such a clean design. Is the black chain painted or anodized? Everything is everybody's favorite 🤣 Merry Christmas🎅🤙
Love it, it wont mess the dropper up. I even tripple checked with our mechanics, you'll B fine :)
Wolfman strongly disagrees!! 😝

That would be sweet man, love the looks as well. I am hoping we can get those brakes bled!! Such a mess 🤣🤣🤣
Bought it new in March 2020 bro. Rode today in our Wisconsin blizzard. Apparently I'm a big deal!..insert old school will farrell dart scene.
Lol I can picture that!! Thanks for sharing the bike man
Can't wait to see the zrace brake review. I'm looking at tossing the x4 model on my fat bike.

Thanks non legit! Nice seeing you brother, I wonder if the box is compatible??
Been itching for a new video!
Happy christmas wolfdad and tick bro
Right back at ya brother!!
The Zrace stuff is pretty sick!

Well that's good to know man, thank you for the comment. Would love to try those
how do the pads compare? have you tried fitting other pads? From which brakes do pads fit in these brakes?
The Marin is looking nice, needs a chainstay protector to quiet down the chainslap.
You think so?? I thought it was pretty quiet 😝
Excellent video love the groupeset gt avalanch 3x9 29er £450 must have
Thank you, appreciate that man. 🙏
We weigh in KG here in Canada too.
Though Z race brakes are Rad! Can't wait to see how they perform! Happy holidays guys!
Please review the new Himalo 160 and 180mm suspension fork it is so good and they have the 160mm double air with damper too.
Hope yall have a GREAT Christmas!!
Happy holidays!

You were right!! Lol
Did you adjust it. Off camera or were the stops that close out of the box?
I adjusted off camera and the stops were super close! Out of the box

Feels like forever since I got a new Wolftick Videos Episode! Is your boy really considering retiring?? :*(
Man, I try not to listen to anything Bryce says 😆. Just found these comments haha.
Cool! man that stinks the brake line was so short on the brakes. those pedals look nice on the bike.

Great stuff guys!
Is there a test ride video? curious of the performance of the combo though
nice weight loss on the marin !
Dude that was heck of a weight cut!!!
Woo hoo, a Wednesday night video.
🤣🤣🤣 Just for you!!

I have Shimano on my bike and would use Shimano Deore next .
The Chinese have really started to push into the bicycle market hence the LT-WOO .
11:55 The WOLF-T-F face
That's just me trying to figure out what 🐂💩 he is spewing now😆👍
Can you try the IIIpro 4 pistons please
Hmmm...We will take a look
Its bothering me that the rear brake hose is routed on the outside of the chainstay. U are gonna snag ur foot on that hose while riding
Yeah I noted that, also a longer route (not that it would have made any difference)
A lot of mechanics mount the bike in the stand by the dropper, I wouldnt panic about it
Tell Wolfman!! Lol
Tick, rate mineral oil's effectiveness as hand moisturiser 😁
🤣🤣🤣 Still moist!!! Nice to see ya S Lin, our ltwoo supplier!!
Wonder how those zrace would work on a trouvaille?
You know we were super close to doing that!! They are terrible to bleed
I have three stripped screws...what do u suggest????
Get a hold of the seller and ask, that's what I would do. Ask if you could possibly buy a set or a discounted price for soft metal screws.
Thats alot of chain slap!
Only reason I always route the chain correctly is I have the park tools playing in the background when I do it.
Edit: it’s funny I’m watching cheech the bike with my pomski Jack Russell chihuahua who’s name just happens to be Cheech.
Now that is a great idea!! LOL I've got Wolfman in the background saying, "Son that does not sound right!!"
6:50 hey man, it works too.
The intro 😂😂😂😂
CERTAINTEED CERTAINTEED CERTAINTEEED
Haha
I want those stickers 😅😅😅
😉
Nearly first!
Nope, you got it!🏆🥇👍
Should’ve run the rear brake line inside the frame not on the outside
👍👍👍
