Can I Start Mountain Biking With $300?

[@tracymcmanus550]

Those were definitely some great finds. The one thing I’d caution people on is not using the bike beyond its intended purpose. Most of those are MTB style bikes not meant to be ridden on dirt. I’ve actually seen one fall apart on a ride and it was kind of scary.

[@EvansMTBSaga]

Yup! I said it at the end not sure if you caught that

Not using a bike beyond it’s intended use is pretty much a great advise regardless of the bike’s price tag.

[@Anonymous_MTB]

Coming from someone who raced BMX this video has some great advice, I started mountain biking this year with a 600 dollar bike. With experience in jumping and the basics of riding a bike I grew out of this bike in 3 months and ended up buying a 1500 dollar hardtale that was much more fit and durable for jumping and tougher trails. Overall this video is 100% truthful and has awesome advice for beginners 👍

[@_MrSnrub]

Glad you mentioned the issue with the box store bikes, and the bike rental. Bike rentals are affordable and a great option to enter the sport. Especially because they will be serviced by an experienced mechanic. Better to save up and buy the right bike for you than to purchase something you can afford immediately and be disappointed.

[@ohhi5237]

one bike between your legs is better than 10 bikes in the store

[@GF-cb8rr]

Evan, Great content as usual. I'd like to see a part 2 where you level up your skills on a budget bike but only from beginner to intermediate initially and see what parts start to break on that thing. If nothing breaks take it from intermediate to advanced trails till it does. Would be fun to see what gives out first and how long it keeps up.

[@EvansMTBSaga]

I'd rather not risk my safety riding something until it breaks. Sounds like an entertaining idea though

[@Jetsonn]

Watch Sam pilgrims video if you haven’t where he bought a few hundred dollar Amazon bike and rode it til it broke

[@GF-cb8rr]

@@Jetsonn those are fun videos to watch. I'm not suggesting Evan do it to that extreme or put himself at risk. Just what a user could expect before part failures. It looked like he did a couple of table tops on it in this video and was just curious to see how long the bike would hold up before the user outgrew it. Not suggesting he snap a frame.

[@ekims_echoes]

I picked up that Schwinn Taff Comp deal too. It's pretty good for the price and it is at least upgradable with higher quality parts. Mine had some big issues, the biggest being the dish of the rear wheel. By the end of a 2 mile loop it was rubbing against the chainstay. However, a few minutes with a spoke wrench and it was better. Still, the repairs this bike needs out of the box and it may not be the best choice for a beginner.

[@EvansMTBSaga]

Mine didn't have that issue at first, but same issue for me after the first ride, tire is running

[@ekims_echoes]

@@EvansMTBSaga Yeah. Out of the box mine was fine, but got out of whack after a small bump-jump off a root, I think. The fix was easy enough, but would definitely annoy someone new. Fortunately, a bike shop can fix that issue easily.

[@danielvelasquez7708]

I did bought a bike Gt Aggressors Pro for $300 from 2019 which was in my opinion a good deal, and couple of years later I have bought a trail bike. Most bikes for $300 are rarely that good, and very pleased with explaining the issues with box store bikes are not always reliable.

[@theroadnottakentravel]

Same here, bought a GT Aggressor pro for half price (400$), and I use it for XC and easy DH trails without an issue. I’m not an aggressive rider, so if I see anything too sketchy, I walk my bike down😂

A while ago I managed to get a used full sus for £300 (2016 Voodoo Canzo)!

Amazing! I would not have even considered that it was possible to get a whole setup for $300. From some comments, it does sound like the parts are so sub-standard that the bike would not last long on rough trails. How about the NEXT step up in quality where the bike would stay together for a whole season of at least medium level trails. I have no issues with buying used, but that can be tricky.

Nice work Evan Just noticed when you jumped at the end and the landing was so stiff since you got used to a full suspension and mostly you just let the rear suspension do all the work so just something that needs improvement and probably takes time in getting used to since I myself got in the same situation few years ago where I switched from full sus to hardtail and I can feel my arms and legs sore after every ride

Great advice, I used to BMX as a kid and bought a Trek Marlin 6 without thinking about the fact that I was already past that point in my progression of riding. Sure i hadn't really rode a bike hardly at all in 20 years but all of the skills were still there and I am wanting to ride trails that are honestly just dangerous on a hard tail because the chunk throws the rear tire in the air without suspension and you can't manual through it because the chunk is always in a super deep braking section right before a sharp 90 degree or a switch back. The trail closest to my house requires a very high level of skill, I would say the greens are realistically blues and the blues are blacks and the actual blacks feel like you are doing stuff that is too dangerous for people at Whistler. I really regret not saving more money and buying a full suspension from the start, instead I have to spend twice. The only positive of this is I have a bike I can ride around paved bike trails even though it isn't that great at that either as it is a 1x drive train without enough gears and I need to switch tires for lower rolling resistance.

[@Im_Hugo.]

I was blessed that my dad bought a super good mountain bike and he didn’t even use it and gave it to me the bike is super light and strong all I need to do is change up the brakes and chains but only for my preference their already good and everything I need to start the sport and I live on a country side with nice hills I can ride down so I am very happy

@@EvansMTBSaga Oh yeah, I'd still like a little more stand over height and I'm around 5'10".

Tried both limit screw, B screw, chain adjustment for days - nope, still shift worse than the cheapest $10 Shimano jumping gears and making horrible noise in the rear. Both have bent rear axles from factory - 141 QR boost wheel with freewheel has a super long axle and Schwinn uses bottom of the barrel junk parts. Schwinn sent me new freewheels and rear wheels to fix this bloody mess, but new axle got bent right away. Horrible brakes, horrible front crank. Frame is the only good thing on this bike, I have a bunch of spare parts from other bikes so had to replace everything to make it work - rear wheels, cassettes, shifter, crank, brakes.
