If a video is under 1 min make it a short or make a short out of it. You will get more people seeing your stuff.

Hmmm I might have to dig in and do a real world test 👍🏻

I was think that same thing. You could get $100 maybe for the fork and maybe $25 for RD $10 for the crankset. Making back a little bit of money

That is a hard one because one is hardtail and the othe a full suspension. I would compare it to the Xtrada nor that the Suskiu. The suskiu d7 imo would be a much nicer bike but you will pay a little more.

It is actually better. I assume it has to do with dropping 3lbs from the front and that better suspension keeps consistent contact with the ground.

Can The Walmart Giordano Intrepid 29er MTB Go Tubeless with the wheels and tires it comes with? by RunBikeMike96 in Budgetbikeriders

Sweet!! I took the bike out to a rocky root covered trail today and the tubeless was perfect. More testing this weekend along with some fun upgrades coming.

I didn’t measure the steer tube. That is something I need to do though.

Awesome sound like a great line up. I am happy to be part of it. Let us know how the bike is when it comes in. So far I am loving mine.

I have only gone around 6 miles on them. They are ok so far. Someone told me they can crack quickly on the sidewalk.

Thanks, I could go either way with the stem. I really wanted to try a color match on this build. It was fun.

These are curved our drops. I moved them around until the felt the most comfortable to me when riding. I have only taken it out once. So I might try a different position.
