Lebron did a great job filling in for Wolf man 🐺! Great commentary and bike isle banter! I’m still riding an og Axum too Lebron!! We can be axum bros 🐺🚴 good ep dudes!! 🫡 get well soon Wolf man!!
I picked up a silver to black fade Al Comp three weeks ago for $81. The tires were muddy and the rear was flat, a little mud splatter on the frame but no damage. The guy working said they found it in the store like that. They guessed someone took it out back of the store for a test ride and brought it back in dirty. I figured for $81 for a new frame I couldn't ho wrong.
Started riding again. Bought an Axum in 2021. Stated having some components wear out. I've gone overboard with upgrades and now I have a schinn axum dp frame and dp with everything else changed out. I feel like i should gave just bought a new bike. I mean i got 4 years out if it.
I've seen stuff like that Schwinn component swap at my local Walmarts lol. Not a big fan of that curved top tube. Nice to see Mr. Not Dot Com filling in for Wolfman.
The version 2 has a replaceable derailleur hanger and they went with the black brakes (versus orange). Not sure if there are other changes. Jeremiah may know better. That’s in the Vibe. On the v2 Ridge, I found this list someone posted on Reddit by r/mountainbiking. “Here's a list of differences I noticed versus videos I've been watching. 180mm Front brakes (instead of the 160mm) JAK Front and Rear brakes (previous was Radius) Acolyte Derailleur (as opposed to the L-TWOO used before) Rear Derailleur has a clutch Microshift Advent shifter (previous was L-TWOO) No display window showing current gear on shifter 30T Narrow Wide chainring (previous was round) No plastic ring around the chainring Thicker crank arms Thicker pedals (still plastic) Tires look overall the same but now have Yellow "Kenda" lettering on one side Smaller/sleeker dork disc Comes with a kickstand (for those that wish to install it)”
Agreed. I think it’s because customers think that bigger is more comfortable (which isn’t necessarily true) and those few that know better buy their seats elsewhere. They have to carry what sells there.
On that boundary I would almost venture to think that the assembly company got a severely damaged vibe and the boundary was returned with some messed up wheels and they swapped the wheels. The brake cable is completely unacceptable. The label on the handle bar is one of the labels that the online shoppers use, the but the rest of the store uses them for tape.
Is he talking about the red ones with the dropper posts?. They have them all day in Massachusetts. But the employees screwed up the posts on every one of them 😞
The Axum Comp X? Yes, red with dropper and clutch derailleur. I saw one in Mass at the Walmart in Leominster and had forgotten about it. Haven’t seen them in any other Walmart in Virginia or Arkansas.
Not always. Really good used bikes are limited. They aren’t always cheap. They are usually a few years old and may not have the best geometry. I look at my Axum DP and compare it to an entry level Trek Marlin and mine has better geometry and a tapered head tube. Since it was cheaper, the extra money was spent on upgrades and when compared with a similarly equipped Marlin, mine was still less expensive and has a tapered head tube and better geometry (this was in 2021 when I purchased the bike). There are also people that can’t afford the entry price for a “good used bike” and some of these are good enough and allow for slowly upgrading them.

That was a great purchase. That bike is very upgradeable and that price gives you lots of flexibility.
Great job LeBron!!
Love you Wolfman. Get better for all of us.
Wish we had Walmart here. That's a good selection of bikes.
Hope you're keeping well Wolfman 👍😎🍻

So happy to know that you are getting better.
LeBron kicking ass over there!
I bought the Mongoose Fireball SS at my Walmart and it’s a pretty good bike
Get well soon Wolfman!

@3:29 I say the exact same thing!! LOL
Get better Wolfman! Chill out. You look really red in the video. 😮
Have you tried the Ozark trail version 2? If so what are your opinions. Thanks in advance
Get well soon! Take care of yourself.
Cool! Hey do you know what was upgraded or changed on the ozark trail V2

Thicker crank arms
Thicker pedals (still plastic)

Smaller/sleeker dork disc

If you're going to check out a decent Mongoose bmx, the Legion isn't bad
Some reason Walmart only sells HUGE seats now. I bought a couple of the normal ones on clearance

Not a fan of the green screen
The Tick loves his green screen.🤷♂️
Walmart's in Canada suck balls. They're all steel frame 3x7s. Like they're still trying to sell off their bikes from the 90s.
I hope you get well. We're gonna need you at full strength in time for Christmas coming up.
Unsafe at any speed
🤣
Its better to buy a used bike then that garbage
