Nice! I just started getting into biking and I just built an old Trek Fuel...I was reading up on upgrading the Marlin 6 I have and was disappointed when some of the comments I read would say don’t waste your money on it, instead just buy a better one. I enjoy riding the Marlin and I will definitely go this route when I start doing the upgrades.

Hey man. Awsome vid. I also have a Trek Marlin 5 and would love to know the updated specs down your description. 🤙

As long as you get the same size I did it will fit. But if you have a bigger frame size than me, I wouldn’t get a 125mm post. Get bigger. You have to use their remote. The way the cable routes is backwards compared to other droppers. It comes with a cheap remote though. I still have it on mine and it works fine.

Nice!!👍 Great video. I see the video was three years ago. Are you still riding this bike? I was trying to decide if I want to do this to my Marlin 5 or buy a better factory specked bike. Considering that it does have a great frame with a lifetime warranty I may just build it up and that way I can take my time and buy the right parts as I need them.

It really depends what you do, but I have maxxis minion dhf and dhr and they are fantastic. If I were to get new tires, I would run dhf front and rear. I’m also tubeless, so that makes a big difference as well.

I bought them on amazon.

How did you fit the fork into the bike because isn't he bike only fit a straight fork. The suspension you use is a tapered fork.

It’s not a tapered fork. It’s 1 1/8 straight. But they make an adapter head set that allows you to use a tapered fork

Not this fork. I have since rebuilt the bike, which I had to use an adapter for. Watch my marlin 5 jump bike build!
