Going to mountain biking for the first time in 2 months, what kind of entry hardtail bike for 500 dollars is good?
Awesome that'll be super fun. Take a look on the used market for that price. See if you can find a used Trek or Giant or something along those lines.
You must have a lot of skill to do that
🎉
LOL it was a little scary. Rolled up going, yeah I want to do this but also going "NO WAY"
Yeah man, skinnies are some of the most mentally challenging feature in mtb imo! Good job!
Thanks. :)
This one was quite intimidating since its not just sitting 2 inches off the ground., HAHA
Tires too😮
Nice 🎉
Thanks 🤗
These things are ass bcs the bike is cheap, then yes but my bike grips and pedals were perfeccct
Thanks for chiming in :)
And a dropper post
ahh yes a dropper if you don't have one. Roscoe 7 does have one thankfully :)
Job job
That's what makes bikes with no pedals nice, I could just throw some diety pedals on my tallboy and ride it out of the store, the burgtec ones that come on santa cruz bikes now are actually sweet probably gonna throw some ergons on it tho
Good good
Thanks, scary to try it again after the very first time I did it. HAHAHA
good job
Thanks. 😄
Screw that! Im buying dropper seatpost.
Lol for sure if you don't have one that's a huge upgrade
I don’t know the grips that normally come on nice bikes pretty good for me petals ehh maybe just save your money and learn to ride
A rear shock…
Next bike will have a rear shock. Over the winter it'll be new bike day. 😄
You on crack?
I have the same bike
Awesome it really is a great bike. Mine is due for some service on the fork. Definitely enjoy riding it.
Clips
Can it read the psi in the tire I heared it could
Yes it seems to do that although I never really pay attention to it. Just set what I need, screw it on, push the button.
My new bike arrives tomorrow and I bought today some good pedals for it❤🎉
Hope you enjoy it!
This was fun. We did stream it live and thanks for watching that but figured it was a good thing to post the high quality version as well.
Depends what bike and spec you bought, cheeper bikes yeah. Also pedals don't normally come on a new bike so getting new ones it s given but mine came with a decent set as it was part of my build.
Higher spec builds you are right that they typically will leave the pedals off. There are lots that come with them however and they are typically cheap plastic.
@@eightwheeladventures if they ever put them on the Pedals are worse than cheap plastic. Probably buy a box of 100 for£1 from temu lol
@PsyMongSki lol for sure
Also get a few wheels just uncase your bike doesn’t float
HAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣
Also get a good helmet
@@jimmythe5906 yes agreed. A good helmet is also a must.
Hy nice roscoe 7 I have one exact same colour
By the sounds of it you also need to sort that headset rattle out 😵💫
@@LifeOfAJP internal cable rattle. 😞
@@eightwheeladventures I’d think I’d have to sell the bike 😰
@LifeOfAJP lol yeah. Almost like they didn't sleeve the cable run.
Instructions unclear I now have grips on my road bike
Well on the drops some types will work well. LOL
MTB not road
I bought a santa cruz,the grips are great. And most top end bikes dont come qith pedals bud....
Good to know!
You're absolutely right! I'm also planning to get new grips and pedals for my 2024 Roscoe 6. If you go you my community page you'll see a picture of my bike, same frame as yours.
If you go to a local bike shop they can usually give you grips and maybe pedals on top of the bike if it’s a higher end bike
This is true depending on the store you can wheel and deal for pedal and grip upgrades
Most higher end bikes don’t come with pedals. Mine didn’t. It came with some nice odi grips but I swapped those out for some pnws
@spyder027 awesome. I love the pnw grips. Bought the XL but going to order a pair of the regular.
@@spyder027 you can usually get the store to throw some in but you need to be chill with the store
@@luukasthenerd3793 I bought my bike online
And a saddle I bought a selle Italia gel saddle
Yeah, you are probably right I guess you can't go wrong with buying a new saddle
What about water, tubes, co2 or a pump?
See now that is for another video. 🤪
My grips that came with my bike are the best things I’ve ever held on to
@@Nightmare_Realm6 Then you got lucky and you should tell me what kind they are so I can try them. Hahaha
@@eightwheeladventures haha I’ll try to find the name of them but they came on my talon 2 (giant)
Most high-end bikes come with decent grips so I don’t know
Same for me with the grips on my Marin SQ3
Magical forest ❤
This one was fun to make. Some of the outtakes are hilarious. We'll have to share them later.

We need to meet up and go for a ride soon. We finally got moved to the Rochester area now.
ooooh awesome, welcome to Rochester. Yeah lets do that sometime soon. :)
For the halfpipe on blue trail, did you start at the west-most parking lot or the main trail head? Coming from which end is more flowy?
Main trail head where you go up purple first.
@@eightwheeladventures thanks! A lot of it seems like a back and out so what is the most fun but not so challenging way to get back? My Uncle’s place is literally like a 2 min bike ride from the west end so I might just take the rode.
@Aki10795 it's all about the same as far as difficulty. Everything is pretty flowy. Lots of climbing. We climb more there than anywhere we go. Lol
@@eightwheeladventuressorry for all the questions but for your #1 Im assuming you took the blue trail from the east end and headed west. However the jump you hit is on another colored trail which looks like Orange? Is this correct? And does it connect back to Blue again?
@Aki10795 it's all kinda interconnected right thru there. That lower jump very well could be technically on Orange. Lol. And yeah east side to west.
What year is it beacuse I have a trek rosco 7 2024 and it’s the same
Mine is I think 2022 technically. The Roscoe 7 hasn't changed in a couple years. Trek did upgrade the 6 to be the same frame as the 7 with different components for 2024.
I think she is doing great and definitely advancing in skill. I noticed one thing though, To me it looks like she may be one or two gears to easy.
that's a good tip for sure. I'll have to pass that one on to her.
At what point in Letchworth was the route you guys took in this video? I’m thinking about driving down myself and this looks like a good first one for me. Also, is there a campsite near the route as well? Might want to car camp.
We started this ride at the Mt. Morris dam and went south. There is the lean to camp site I would 6ish miles down. Don't quote me on that distance. Lol
Thanks! There is “The Ridge” campsite in Mt Morris so probably not too far from the dam area where trail starts. Might just do it as a day trip though and no staying overnight. Sometimes that’s not my thing haha. But it’s closer than I expected to Victor. The heart of Letchworth is like an hour but this is only 50 minutes.
@Aki10795 it's an awesome ride. Beautiful area. There's some tricky spots for sure but it's a great adventure type ride. We are looking forward to getting back down there and starting further down and going to portageville at the southern end
@@eightwheeladventures yeah! It looked gorgeous (pun intended)! I’ve never been riding in a forest like that before. Have only hiked in places like that so biking will be quite an awesome experience. My family and I have been hiking in California and the southwest. My endurance is nowhere close for riding the whole trail down south. Sounds like quite an adventure! Have fun.
@@eightwheeladventures is the Mt Morris dam area before the toll to get into Letchworth? I remember going there years ago when I was little and we had to pay to get in.
Flats!
I’m traveling for work and decided to bring my bike with me. Today I rode at Beaver Creek state park in Ohio. It was awesome. I live in Binghamton so I normally,y ride around there and the finger lakes.
Oh awesome. Hoping to get down Binghamton way to do some riding. Thinking of doing the Enduro race down that way next weekend.
Hi Chris! I also live and ride in the Rochester area (Dryer Road)! I just wanted to say your videos inspired me to get my first real trail bike, the Roscoe. I ended up going for the 8 though because of the 35mm stanchions, better brakes and drive train. I upgraded the grips and pedals too. Your videos, especially with the family seem so fun. By the way, where do you mount your action camera? I have mine on my chest and you can see my knees from pedaling.
@@Aki10795 that's awesome. Congrats on the 8. That's a nice bike. Let's see i usually put the camera on my chest, it sits upside down on the chest might at about a 35 degree angle. Gigi puts hers on her chest as well and sometimes hers is pointing low enough to see knees while pedaling as well. Thanks for watching. We just have fun getting out there. Everyone has a blast.
@@eightwheeladventuresthanks! 😊
@Aki10795 anytime. Maybe we'll run into you out at Dryer. 😄
It was nice to meet you tonight. Sorry we didn't chat longer it was a little chaotic with all the ROOTZ stuff ending. We will have to get out for a ride at some point.
@@eightwheeladventures You too! Sounds good! All the stuff with the kids looks fun.
Just got the pnw bars and I can’t wait to try them out
Really good review. Most videos usually only talk about the first ride so you dont know how the bike will stand up to a years use. Also most videos tell you to upgrade everything on the bike so only the frame is original Might as well buy a new bike 😄 I plan to buy the Rosco 7 in a months time and feel confident the bike is reliable and needs minimal maintenance
Lol thanks. You can certainly buy one and beat it up pretty good before you need to add or upgrade. Just get yourself some decent pedals because those stock ones really are terrible. Lol
