Keep Up The Good Work!
Merci Mihai!🙂
I always like upgrade videos!
More to come!
I'm building up my wife's Trek Marlin 5. So far I replaced the seized fork with the OEM fork, I changed the pedals and grips and now I'm replacing her 3x8 tourney drivetrain and putting on the Shimano CUES U6000. The new Marlin also has a really cool looking chainstay guard and I'm installing that on her bike as well. It should be completed by next year 😂
Sounds like a great plan! BTW I have my upgraded Marlin here - ua-cam.com/video/uB0-a0khOvY/v-deo.html 😉
@@LoveMTB haha I watched it. I commented asking what freehub you were using but I figured it out.
awesome vid thank you!!! great selection of cheap up grades that really improve your cheap bike,even with exspensive bikes you'll want to change the 3 contact points,most exspensive bikes don't even come with pedals...Cheers!!!!
Ain't that right!🙂
It all depends on the frame!
I bought a $900 dollar Norco Fluid HT. I installed Fox Step Cast 34 forks, Whiskey Millhouse carbon bars, a full Shimano XT drivetrain, Wolftooth Resolve 200mil dropper, and my Onyx Vesper hubs with some cheap DIY carbon rims.
After I got it dialed in, I sold all of my other bikes. (Spot Rocker, Banshee Paradox V3 and my Giant XTC Advanced)
Hands down, my new Norco is the best mountain bike I've ever ridden!
Cheers from Arizona!
Wow that's quite the upgrade! And happy trails from Canada, can't wait to come back to AZ!
Let me know when you do, I'd be happy to ride with ya! @@LoveMTB
@@AZRob. thanks for the offer🤘
Great video
Love the upgrades!
😉
I wish other UA-camrs would learn from you on how to make UA-cam videos. No fluff.
Thanks brother☺
nice bike nice setup !! you dont need expensive bike to have fun
True that!
That was a good video. I have a TREK WAHOO 29er (which is now a kid’s model since the MARLIN series came out). A lot of the drivetrain is worn. But, at the selling price, I snagged it right away. Your upgrades are worth considering after I take care of the drivetrain.
Right on! Take a look at the Shimano CUES for drivetrain...🤓
@@LoveMTB I'm still waiting for it to come out. I haven't seen it anywhere.
@@bikdav did you check my links in the description??😊
When simplicity arise, silence is due!
cheers
I did almost the same in my Orbea Alma H20. The only two more things that I’ve changed was the seat and the tires.
Bet it is like a different bike now? Enjoy🤘
@@LoveMTB looks like my Orbea Rise M20. I don’t feel to much difference between the bikes doing XC!
@@ilidiofaria agree depending on the ride the difference can be minimal especially if the geo and fit are right
@@LoveMTB I have both with bike fit did in the same place and geo of the bikes is very similar. The difference is the comfort of the full suspension and of course the forgiveness of the travel on the Rise
Great video. Is the rear wheel QR Boost 141mm? Looks like a good entry trail har tail.
For some reason it’s QR weird choice based on the rest of the frame and specs. Hard to notice the difference though…
I think when the tires are not TR at least the rims has to be, but also the tire pressure has to be higher than full TR compatibility wheels, it can be dangerous with low pressure to make an agressive turn for example. But I’m no expert on the field!
If you check my video on the Ardents, an older vid, you can see the difference. Rims have to be and they are in this case
I remember my very first bike I built back in th 80s was a diamond back, and I was 11 or 12 yrs old. 3 months later it got stolen😢
Yeah legenday brand. And we know everything about bikes stolen unfortunately...
Depending on the rider’s weight and usage I’d consider upgrading to a bigger rotor on the front brake. 160mm on a lower mid-level brake like these Tektros may be a wee bit insufficient with a burly rider going downhill for some time…
Agree 100% but it's not how we're planning to use the bike in the offseason so that 160mm will do.
Where did you find this bike to buy,it’s not on their website😊
It is what do you mean?
