😆 The Tick already owns a rode bike. He has a Kona Dew Drop.

Great find! Glad you got it. That grounder is pretty bad ass man. Can’t wait to see that one in action. And looking forward to the upgrades for the Explorer.

hey! im glad you got the explorer g.1! ive been seeing cable actuated hydraulic brakes on amazon , and i can see those on this build for sure!

Oh geez, that groupset... Loved the opener and Wolfman is probably the one who was prepared with the gloves from his first aid kit for when Jeremiah needs it.

You got lucky found that at Walmart again❤

i ride the erie canal and its flat gravel used for boat transit early 1900s this bike could be perfect to play with upgrade and ride out of the box, im riding 700cc on my cross country straight bar now lol

Man I hope you guys can review a Giant Talon with an Epixon fork. Nice video as always.

It's about time you picked this up. It's a great bike for the money!

Great episode guys, glad to see you going to the dark side of GRAVEL! Upgrading that will be a good time.

Just seen a new mongoose gravel bike on the Walmart site as well. Ok really really curious about that one. Also do like the Ozark one hints why I'm clicking on the video but I'm old school and like mongoose.

Got mine, loving it!!! First upgrade will be the breaks. 😅

I got 2 of them on clearance for $110 each. Put Sora, carbon forks and carbon seat post dropped 3.5 lbs off.

Yeah 300 seemed on the low end for your content...keep it coming man learned alot about my GT from you...been great upgrading it.

Got mine a week ago in medium. I'm 6'1" so I hope that's the best size for me. I'm waiting on my new pedals and seat to cone in before assembling ( bought mine boxed). I'm 59 so don't want big jumps just light trails. Thanks for all your reviews. Enjoy your videos.

Someone on another channel reported that his front wheel fell off when he applied the break. Seems he was airborne when it happened. Probably because his quick release wasn’t tight enough and he was jumping things.

Holy Hannah! That groupset is a wildy over the top upgrade for that bike!!! Looking forward to seeing it in action. Will you need a new rear wheel to get a cassette instead of the freewheel? Upgrading to a carbon fork would make for a nice video as well I think. Cheers guys!

Wireless shifting seems cool (I've never tried it). Better get used to charging...or you won't be able to shift.😂

Hope you guys get back to mountain biking soon...good luck with the Ozark tho!!

I love wolf man’s red cap

I can't wait to see you ride it down americas favorite trail! Meow Man! 😺

That bike looks legit.

The camera view of the cart reminded me of The Naked Gun movie intros.

#411-You're more than half way there! I just looked at that bike the other day. It's pretty sweet for a Wally-world bike. Yeah, the rails to trails up here is the 385 mile Ohio Erie trail that I wrote you about earlier when I was asking you about a fork for my Trouvaille. I want to build a trailer that I can pull my kayak with and bikepack the whole thing in the fall.

Glad there was one there, interested to see what you think. Also really interested in the electronic groupset, was looking at these a while ago As a car guy, those wheels on that white car are disgusting 😂😂 Stay safe 👍😎🍻

I’m a new subscriber awesome content 👍🏽

Might have to look into that.

I have an unassembled small frame ozark trail gravel bike. Haven’t had the chance to assemble it. Now I want to wait and see what you do to yours so I can get an idea of what direction I want to go with my build. So far I got fooker pedals and bottle cages.

The Ridge is now avaliable in a small on their website and I'd like to see one in the wild.

Can't wait to see what you do with that gravel bike. Seems everybody else is just leaving them stock for the most part.

Nice!! I am in the same area.

We have a "rails to trails" here in North GA, NW of ATL, called The Silver Comet Trail.

Can’t wait to see what you guys do to this bike!! I’m excited. I would love to see a review on Ascend Yungas 29'' Full-Suspension Mountain Bike at Cabela’s!! That bike looks amazing they been on sale for like 500 for a full suspension it’s insane!

I liked the last video so you could buy it and take it down Hayes Creek, obviously...

Suspension seat post and bar stem clamp STAT !!! Maybe some aero handlebar rests ?

I like to think pushing the likes up to 890 made this video happen. Subscribed as I said I would.

I bought the bike despite the haters. I also have a Giant Talon. Nothing wrong with my Giant but when I ride this Ozark bike, I actually am having more fun riding it on the streets and light trails and I’m not sure why.

We just bought a large 29er ridge and a 27.5 vibe . Newer version small . If you guys want to take some measurements.

I did some rudimentary measurements in the store some time back. I didn’t write them down. But the dimensions on the old sizing aren’t the same as the new sizing. The medium dimensions of one were the same as the large on the other, or something like that. I’m thinking the “updated” dimensions are more in line with industry standards, but I can’t be sure.

@Tick, if you ever come up to CT, I’ll show you some cool parks and let you try out my bike on them.

Been enjoying my G1. Had to adjust it to fit me. Flipped the stem angled up, made a big difference. Got lucky and all my functionals were dialed in. A lot of people complain about the brakes, but I’ve not seen an issue nor feel the need to upgrade. The tires are a little noisy on pavement as others have mentioned, but not loud and I’ve had no issues with performance. Thinking of getting a pair for my schwinn I also have the updated Vibe in a medium. It got upgraded pedals, new seat and seat post, and new grips. I don’t like the shifter brake combination. Works like it’s supposed to, just not my preference. So it will be getting a micro shift and new brake levers.

I made my GT Aggressor Pro into a janky gravel bike, minus the drop bars. It's actually more enjoyable riding it converted to a gravel bike then it was a mtb, I think mostly because how light it is now.

Pretty sure I picked up the last medium in LR area on July 5th after going to 4 different Walmarts. Walmart computer inventory was way off. Bike ended up being at a store listed as having ZERO. first 10 mile ride was good. Brakes eh. Shifting eh. Seat more comfortable than anticipated and bars tape is good.

Saw a Kent hard tail mountain bike in Target yesterday. It was Red so I don't believe it was a Truvaille

Entire bike is cheaper than a SRAM cassette 😂 just shows that you don’t have to go crazy with money to have fun. Looks very capable. Looking forward to seeing both of your opinions

As of mid-July 2024, only the small frame is available. Shorter wheelbase and stem.

Yay

I turned e-bike my G-1 expoler into an ebike, need to upgrade a few things but a solid bike at 250

Totally unrelated but I got an aggressor pro. Whats your favorite fork I can still get today for that bike. Mostly songle track, lots of rock garden stuff in missouri, like to jump whenever possible! I came from motocross

I have the G.1 Explorer in small, and besides a few added accessories, the only mod I did was adding a lever action dropper post. I wouldn't be against adding a suspension fork on my Explorer.

@user-fo9ri5dy7b

What would think the dimensions for the fork would be 1 inch in order to have a suspension fork it would require at least one and 1/8

First upgrade! 😀 A WREN inverted fork! 🎉????

Hey gang, fun and inspiring as is the norm ON this channel. Keep it up 🤘🤘🤘... almost got all my new parts together to rebuild my ledge x1. I can't find any info about chainring possibilities, do you guys know if a 32t chainring is doable w IXF crank? Thanx. Peace 🏁☯️☮

Should be brother, we have used 32t chainrings before with the ixf stuff and a 32 may be just what we have on the ledge... but for the price of a cheaper chainring get a 30t as well. Thanks for the comment man, and hope the build goes well!

Hi man, just curious, how's the huffy scout doing? xD I remember the test you did on huffy haha, and GUESS WHAT, huffy scout 26inch is being sold in my country now and curious if I go for it haha (one of the factor is the frame-steel!) . Walmart expedition is going great for you seems like xD

WolfTick😂

Just looked up the price of those wheel top group sets 💵💵💵💵 😮

I'm trying to buy this bike for a month now, here in NJ all walmeart stores dont have it on medium size, I just gave up

Would love to ride with ya but I'm in SC area

They can send us something to test, but we will not be giving them any of our information. The state of Arkansas is actually suing them as we speak.

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS ok I hope they send you something I have looked and they seem to have some good forks for the price

You’ll like the explorer. Gravel. Stay away from the hyper gravel bike. At 498 it has bolt on wheels. Where the Ozark gravel has quick release. The hyper gravel is not worth that high price. The gravel bike you’ll like upgrades yes. Brakes rub. But again it’s a 248 Walmart bike. And some did add a fork to it and another. One added the mtb tires at 1.1. Yes I ordered two. Medium and small. Me n the wife.

The Tick drank all 10 cups of that coffee, cuz you be sweating like a slave.

Put a mtn bike fork on it

We all knew you'd get over 300😅

Post test ride video

Yea I’d like to know the weight

First?

When you get bored with that bike send it to me

So, I over did the upgrades, basically I paid $248.00 for frame. what I have done so far Fork, Manitou Markhor (parts bin) Headset, Cane Creek 40 ZS44/28.6 / ZS44/30 (Planet Cyclery sale) Headset spacers, Sumind Carbon fiber (parts bin) Stem, RaceFace Affect R 35 90mm (parts bin) Bar, OneUp carbon fiber flat bar (parts bin) Grips, Ergon GP3 (Planet Cyclery sale) Brake levers, Avid FR-5s (Amazon) Shifters, SRAM X5 9 Speed trigger shifter set (Planet Cyclery sale) Wheels, WTB i23 27.5 (parts bin) Tires, WTB Byway 47 650b (Planet Cyclery sale) Cassette, SRAM PG-970 11-34 9 speed (Planet Cyclery sale) R.
