Buying a clutched derailleur is also highly recommended.Īnother thing I’d like to touch on is the drivetrain durability. Totally transformed the bike at higher speeds. I’d recommend everyone who isn’t very well versed in derailleurs have a bike shop set this up. They adjusted the limits perfectly, and I believe they adjusted the clutch system to keep more tension on the chain. I ended up taking the bike in to have the derailleur adjusted by my local bike shop. I had attempted to adjust the derailleur multiple times with no success. I had the rear wheel rebuilt with newer heavier duty spokes. I had the chain jump off on me multiple times, eventually breaking two spokes on the rear wheel. Initially I had issues with the bikes chain skipping on the lowest two cogs. Overall I’ve been very happy with the bike. Seat/Stem – Stock Seat, added Suntour SP12 NCX suspension dropper post, which is a cheap way to add a lot of plushness if you aren’t going to run a dropper post. Had issues with non-integrated lights getting too cold and the battery stopped working. Powered directly from the battery accepting 6-90V. Light – Roxim X4EP Integrated Headlight / Taillight. Made the “slightly too small for me” frame fit much better. Summer – 4.0” Kenda Juggernaut low profile, great for summerīars – Came with narrow ~720mm bars, upgraded to Spank Spoon 60mm riser bars - 780mm wide. Winter – 4.6” Specialized Ground Control Fat – studded with Grip Studs Oddball sized rims/hubs do not allow for an easy upgrade, one of the big drawbacks of this bike. Wheels - ~60mm rims, but can clear 4.6” tires. Upgraded to Shimano MT420 200mm 4 calipers – great budget option with tons of stopping power.įork – Steel, slightly heavier, but useful for the added weight of the bike Brakes – Original - Tektro 160mm Cable Disc Brakes.
