Hello, I’m 177cm so could fit in the ml or l according to trek but only just turned 15 so I’m probably going to continue growing. What should I do?

Loving my Roscoe 7. I’ve had it for 3 weeks and ride it 3-4 times a week. I did upgrade my pedals. I also upgraded my handle bar to PNW Gen 3 35mm along with my stem and went from a 50mm to a 45mm. I think my next upgrade will be the brakes to Shimano 6120’s. Keep the videos coming.

I’d agree on your comment of probably being better on a M. I’m 5’10 but short inseam and originally bought a M/L, traded it in for a M which I’m waiting on to come in. I felt the M/L was awkward/sluggish in corners and wasn’t very precise at picking and staying on line. Haven’t been able to trail the M yet, but from a test ride I immediately felt more confident and precise on that frame. Also an interesting note, the M Roscoe has the same wheel base as the last generation Roscoe XXL. These bikes are significantly larger already on modern geo.
@graysonmtb 12 күн бұрын
Nice! I'm glad you were able to trade in! If I were to trade in id probably loose out with what I've out into the bike already. That's a really interesting fact about the wheelbase!! I know last gen was 27.5 though!

@@graysonmtb Yeah I was still in the 30 day window, so it was an easy exchange. It’s been a learning experience for sure as a new rider, but it really amazed me how much 15mm (difference in reach) changes how a bike feels. I also tried putting a 35mm stem on the M/L which makes it identical in reach to the M. That felt better but also definitely a completely different feel from the M. For me it was too short of a stem and didn’t like it, back of bike felt stable but front wheel felt twitchy like a shopping cart swivel wheel. Unbalanced front to back is how I’d describe it. I think had a kept the M/L a 40 or 45mm stem would have been the right choice. Learning what you like and don’t like is all part of the hobby though. Important thing is you’re out there enjoying it!

Good video! Did you encounter any issues with the back derailleur being so low? Is it hitting on any obstacles or ground? Not sure why Specialized did not install a shorter one like other brands. Even Euro version of Riprock 20 has a shorter derailleur. Let me know if you had any issues with that, this is the last thing that stops me from getting it for my little guy.

I've had to bend it back a few times. I have not been able to find a short derailure that allows the 11 to 42 cassette! I'd have to go down to the advent 11-38 inorder to run a short cage. I've been thinking about it because I've since converted him to tubeless and its been getting smashed lately.

I have a Roscoe 9, and it's a fun bike. Just swapped out the stock Bontrager tires for some Continental Argotal/Kryptotal tires, and they are noticeably better (and actually roll faster). I have the PNW dropper lever as well, it's nice but the bolt they use to clamp the cable is super cheap and strips easy (the Chinesium is getting worse lol). I went with a Raceface carbon bar, and cut that down to around 745mm or so (I'm 5'7").....sooooooo much better than the stock 780mm width, and the carbon is a bit more smooth on the rough stuff. I went with an XT shifter as well, which is nice. I did swap the stock dropper post for a OneUp, and that thing is a piece of junk......it constantly creaks when you sit and pedal, so need to figure out a replacement for it that has around the same size clamp area, as with the stock dropper post my seat sat a bit too far forward. Love the stock brakes, but after 500+ miles the pads are getting a bit noisy/not stopping on a dime like they used to, so might need a replacement soon. I think if I had to do it all over again, I'd prob get a new Fuel EX lol.

If any of the spacers are above the stem, you could move them to the bottom but that may or may not be enough to make a difference. There's options to extend the fork tube length but it's very sub standard. It sounds like it might be time to move to a 24”

This bike is crazy. My 5 year old just tried it out in the store. He needed the seat lower and forward but could fit right now enough to use it and come spring summer he would be good to go. He is 43” tall 18” inseam this is just a close measurement. Looking at other bikes this bike looks pretty darn good. I agree it does not need a suspension fork yet. It is specked nicely for a kid. Price is more than the trek but better looking and better parts. Cheaper than some but more than others. 600 or what ever it is seems just crazy expensive for a kids bike and yes it is a tad pricy. Remember the parts are perfect for the kiddos and the bike is better than some it also gets your kid out there so that you both can have more days together on the bikes. Remember kids do grow and there are used ones out there to save money and potentially have a free to cheap kids bike because you will resell this bike and can get a good portion of your money back if not all of your money back if bought used. It’s a great time to be a bicycling parent not a great time for your bank account though.
@graysonmtb 6 ай бұрын
Agreed. Double check your LBS if they’re a specialized dealer this goes on sale for $450 from time to time! It makes it cheaper than the Roscoe 20! The seat post can be trimmed to sit flush with the collar if you need to slam it down but Grayson was 42” when he first rode so your kiddo should be good. After all the upgrades we did (future video), knowing what I know now, I would have made it tubeless FIRST. All the stock rims and tires can be made tubeless with valves, tape and 2oz of sealant. Well worth the ~$30 in parts and time.

But when a company does this crap, they are simply taking advantage of their customers, most won't say a thing. They will just replace the broke part, and trek makes more money off the bike that was crap to begin with. Scandless, and I would expect more for a name brand company. So for talking trash about trek. No. They did it themselves I only stated the obvious. Make better products, better quality control, and give your customers what they pay for. When they buy it. Not in a few months or days when it breaks.. ridiculous. Rather buy a bike that is built right that I don't have to ask to replace parts they know is bad. So if they want people to not discuss or talk about how they do bad business, well, then change the way they do business.

Enjoyed the video, I've had my Roscoe 7 for a week, ridden it every day, I'm 5'8" and the knowledgeable guy in the shop I purchased from suggested 100% that I'd need a medium, I'm completely satisfied. I find I can one finger brake with the stock 2 pistons but I went through and set up all the positions of the brake, shifting and dropper levers so it feels intuitive when out riding. Something every owner of a Roscoe should check is if the rear derailleur hanger is in the correct position and is NOT loose, mine was moving around.

Thank you! I really appreciate the compliment. I’m glad they recommended to grab a medium! My trek store is amazing but I preordered my bike after sitting on the last gen Roscoe (27.5, not 29er) that’s how I got “stuck” with my ML. If I had to suggest any upgrade that really changed the entire ride experience. It’s the XT shifter. It gives so much movement positive feedback and shifting is noticeably faster. If I had to do it all over again, knowing what I know now, XT would have been ordered before anything else. Thank you for watching. We really appreciate your support!!
