[@poelawless13666]

Thanks for the shout out brought a tear to my eyes. Watching mountain bikes and learning new words.. what else could I ask for?? Hahaha the production of your videos is top notch.. Stay frosty brother

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

HA HA We are the THESAURUS!! LOL?? Now man we never forget about our bot Poe! So glad you saw it man, I know you are one of the all the way thru a video guys, thanks again man:) It really helps with our build and overall content!

[@poelawless13666]

Hey ... I'm here for you brother... LONG LIVE WOLFTICK!!!!!!

[@brandihodges9548]

Yeah...back to 2 videos! Definitely will be back to ride with you (and be backup filmer) this spring. I'll have to take this one down the CM then switch back for the climb up! And we never got the tow done.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

HA HA HA !! YES PLEASE DO!! Backup camera girl :) Totally a shirt!! Cannot wait, we need to get you queen of all the trails out here!! Thanks Brandi

[@danboyes7477]

Thanks for shout out guys, you get to the UK and we'll go riding and drinking, it'll be awesome 😎🍻 For me, shifter brake then grip, can get to everything nice and easy then. I'm so glad you got the right adapters for the brakes I don't think I would've liked riding it with the spacers on there... Great video as always, take care 😎🍺👍

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man DAN! We are getting an allegiant air credit card and hopefully we can HEAD ON OVER!!! LOL We are serious about looking at some sort of deals, but yes had to get the right adapters!! So glad we ran into other problems

[@slothsquatch5023]

Wolfman is the shot caller!! 😉 The ledge is looking good, those foam grips match the ledge's color decently. 🤣🤣🤣 The brake line install had me almost crying. Nice to see all the support your channel is getting.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

🤣Thanks man! We appreciate the grips and your support man. We are happy that you find our relationship as funny as we do.👍 P.S. Glad you know who the boss is😉😎

[@JBadoozle]

I had tektros on a bike for 5 years. Never had an issue

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man they seem to look the part:) Hopefully we have the same outcome as you:) Thanks Jason:) Hey have you weighed in on the New Patreon Bike build yet?? Or received some sweet STICKERS!!!

[@Wannaridebikes]

The foam grips are to your touch. Like a drink if you like it you drink it.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

🤣Very good Metaphor!

[@graemebaker-henderson390]

Here from Alberta as well. Today it was a bit warmer (-4 °C) but a few days ago it was -27°C. Great video as always.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Oh my God! A bit warmer!!😂😂😆🥶🥶🥶🥶 Thanks for the laughs! Damn could not do it!

[@gregnowak2492]

Grip, brake, shifter. I have those same brakes on my Taff. They are great and I was able to score them for free. Awesome work, guys.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thanks man! We have had pretty good luck so far with these. Thanks for being around here for so long👍🥰

[@desertmtb5028]

Oh man. My ledge is my go to bike nowadays. Perfect timing you post this video. Looking to upgrade my brakes soon.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Well oh well!! Another LEDGE MAN! NICE:) Thanks for watching and man this thing is so fun on the trails!! OH CHECKOUT THE AFFILIATE LINKS SON!!

[@rdkuless]

Caution on that ReachAdjustment screw.. Remember every time you bleed your brakes, back that screw up as far as possible (counter clockwise) If you don't eventually, you will turn clockwise to make the reach correct, and the screw (which is really the rod attached to the piston/plunger in the lever reservoir) will fall into the housing of the lever.. The only way to get that little Adjustment screw out of the housing is to sent it into Tektro in Ogden Ut, and have it repaired ($30).. and once it falls inside, it jams up the action and the lever will not depress the fluid to make your brakes work. Remember, if you turn in the adjustment screw on occasion, back it off all the way, before you begin to bleed your brakes..

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man thank you for the lesson in brakes!!! I appreciate that very much, will do brother.

[@Dan.Cordeiro]

When it comes to the order you install your break and shifter is all personal preference. The touch points on your bikes are very personal lol

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

GOOD:) LOL I figured but man oh man, you would not believe some comments!! Its a little different when you put it all and I mean all out there for everyone to see:) Thanks Danny

[@shoobybikes1728]

I routed my brake cable the same exact way!! It works great! Another awesome video WolfTick 🤘

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

🤣🤣 Great minds think alike brother👍

[@chrisjones7281]

I have that Bucklos fork.15mm Thru axle, Tapered steer tube, 120mm travel. I have since replaced it with a Suntour Axon with the same spec and wow . It will be interesting to see if you you feel the same. I won't say anything and wait for your review 😎

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Wow that is good to know and thanks for not giving me any spoilers!! Cannot wait to ride on it:) Thanks Mr. JONES!

[@EvansMTBSaga]

Internal cable routing sucks!!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

YES AND YES!! Man it's always something with the stuff! Always dripping allover the place ha ha, I just about landed oil allover our gear! Wolfman had a fit😂😂 Thanks Evan

[@BerserkerNick]

I'm running Tektro brakes on my Trek and they're awesome. Also, get the correct brake adapter or they're going to feel sloppy

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

GOTCHA:) DONE AND DONE! The Tektros get a bad wrap sometimes but they seem to be holding there won on the Comp-ZERKER

[@chrisk9351]

Love my Fookers, just got some for Christmas. I do brake lever right by the grip followed by the shifter. Great Vid!

[@npjohnson75]

Another great vid guys. I find myself looking forward to the next all of the time. How about a "Stable review" where you go through and show off all of the bikes? Just a thought =) Cut my thumb off and hope to be riding by April and using my time to dream about upgrades LOL. Remeber rubber side down. Stay safe!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man we tried but it just takes a bunch of time, its very lengthy and our videos are already 25min!! LOL 2 min per bike + amount of bikes we have = 1 hour!!!! But maybe a future idea or atleast 1 once in a while when a project is finished:) Rubber side down and remember WATCH THEM DIGITS!!

[@oldmansadventures4627]

When I put hydraulic brakes on my Ledge X2 I used the old cable to fish the new hydraulic line into the frame. What sucks is you have to cut the olive & insert off to get it through the hole, then it was a pain to put a new olive & insert then bleed!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man I feel ya!! But that was a good idea trying to try! LOL I def dont blame ya!! Thanks for being here man

[@timpeterson7821]

Great video, glad to see more videos on mongoose full suspension bikes

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thanks TIM! We have a few more things to do to her yet:) Appreciate you watching man,

[@MTBAlex]

18:29 I mount it like that. I actually was working on lil' Alex's Huffy Scout, well we were, and I had to look at my other bikes. But it does make sense, I mean, the brake covers the shifter

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thanks for weighing in! I appreciate it brother:)

[@TheButlerNZ]

Hey J n J... if you make the first timestamp you list 00:00 Shenanigans it should populate the timestamps on the timeline... (unless you have any music copyright queries pending. You should be able to edit/change the titles time...) • Make sure that the first timestamp you list starts with 00:00. • Your video should have at least three timestamps listed in ascending order. • The minimum length for video chapters is 10 seconds.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

So we gave it a try on a few videos. We just hope it doesn't kill our view duration.🤞

[@TheButlerNZ]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Looks great now. and you get the thumbnails at the bottom of the description. I found out that if you get a copyright strike (like i did on my 'Back in the 80's when Scarlett Johansson was in the band Bros" video, you can loose the titles on your videos for 3 months... but then I got another strike for using Space 1999 theme in 'Makara North Face 2021' and didn't loose them... Ahh the computer world.. Consistent in its inconsistencies ! . One of the reason I gave up being an IT Tech and became a Maintenance engineer... (Jack of all trades, master of none)

[@Rob_Fe]

Has anyone made a spreadsheet that explains the fork chart better? Something with price, tapered/straight, travel, and score?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man we totally need one! Wolfman has all that kept away in his spiral 80's notebooks but that may be an idea:) Would be wonderful if someone took the time:)

[@LebronPhoto1]

Funny intro. It's like two Alpha males trying to establish their dominance. I used the foam grips previously and liked them but they were easily damaged in a crash, so I replaced them with rubber grips. Hydraulic brakes are fine, but when I ride from my house, I hit very high speeds going down this steep long hill and the mechanical brakes seem to stop me pretty well. Yes, I have the use two or 3 fingers, but they work. Where can I go to see Wolfman's photographs? Here's a show idea for you. Cheap MTB Challenge. Get a couple of your viewers that like to work on bikes (so you have three people). Each uses $150 or maybe $175 to purchase a used bike and make repairs and upgrades with whatever money they have left over. Test the bikes at the Cat's Meow (or another trail) and see who made out the best. This is like an MTB version of a Top Gear challenge. It could make for some interesting moments.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

You are a wise man. Your wisdom really shows on this comment. I will probably put up a couple of pics in a future episode, but not 100% my call😉. As far as the Top Gear inspired idea goes, in our experiences it would be a nightmare to rely on people other than ourselves to be able to get that done in a orderly fashion, but it sounds great😉😆. We are actually huge Top Gear fans and have used a little inspiration from the show here and there. Thanks for the continued support, it really means a lot to us🥰👍

[@brianjohnston5960]

Ledge looking good. As far as brake, shifter position it's personal preference. Glad to see you found adapters for calipers. The whole spacers thing is to many moving parts to adjust for truing brakes to rotors. Hate those conical ones on my Dolomite. Glad you had a good vacation. See you on the next one.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Hey thanks Brian! We appreciate the support, and the Wolfman said "Thank You" for agreeing with him🤣👍

[@pwn3d_d1rt]

Those are brakes I run on my Trek Marlin and are really a really good budget choice in my opinion... Lots of power and haven't broken a leaver in a crash (yet)

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

🤣🤣Oh I will test that out!! 😆

[@gregorymckoy3179]

Nice video guys! I got my stickers and swag. I will get a few pictures when the weather clears up here. It was 18 degrees last weekend and they are calling for another cold weather storm this weekend. I've been staying out of the cold as much as I can recovering from pneumonia. I am looking forward to riding again!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man so glad you are getting better and PLEASE stay out of the cold! Thanks for the support and so happy you got some STICKERS:)

[@williampage5033]

Another great video guys! Tick, I’m with you on the spacers. Do what’s needed to keep the build going, but don’t ride it with the spacers! Not on the Cat’s Meow anyway! Maybe the driveway! Looking forward to the real-time review on these. I think Tektro gets lost in the shuffle between Shimano and SRAM. I know REI uses Tektro hydraulic brakes on their Co-op bikes.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man oh man thank you William! The tektros do get a weird allover the place wrap, some are good but mostly bad! We shall see😂 THE BUILD MUST GO ON!!!

[@athishmarutharaj6001]

hey so if the adapter says 180F/160R it means You can use a rear 160mm adaper for the front as a 180mm

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

I wouldent go so far as to say that but......YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND!

[@travisknott5711]

Wonderful as always! Snows melting. Bikes photo coming sometime here soon! Hard to get home before it gets dark in the winter time haha. #threeGTs

[@bikewalkersmtb4416]

These intros are hilarious! 🤣🤣

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

🤣Glad that you like them🥰.

[@stevebarnett155]

I have the same brakes on my Axum and have had no problem with them, but I don't wreck as much as the Tick! Lol!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

HA HA AH!! VERY DAMN FUNNY!! LOL Just wait till FRIDAYS VIDEO!!

[@BMOutdoorz]

I really like tektro, I now have decent time on tektro, sram, and Shimano and it goes to tektro by far for reliability, I like shimanos levers and SRAMs looks and tektros price, they do make super higher quality brakes I have not tried that I would like too at some point, I rode the 275s for about a year and half on my Marlin and loved them

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Good to know, we have a few pairs of Tektros (all budget) and thye seem to be worth the money.

[@dennisyoung4631]

Tektro Orion four-pots…. Good for *stopping* when someone pulls out in front without warning… Oh, and my first E-build had that brand of pedals…

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

I'm guessing a few people have pulled out in front of you a time or two!?!? Lol

[@chickensendies]

What you did to get the cable through the top is exactly what I ended up doing HAHAHAHAHAHA I wish they would have thrown a little port to help with getting a new cable in. I have around 20 barbs and olives just in case! The ledge X1 is looking great!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man we think alike!! NOT A GOOD THING!! HA HA ALSO GOT 10 MORE AT BIKE SHOP AND 20 MORE IN THE MAIL!!!!! LOL HA HA HA!!

[@donovanstec4148]

I also run Fookers and love them

These seem to be a little slimmer but just as nice as the Chester's🤘

[@vmoutsop]

Professional tools for the Tools

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Damn Skippy! We are so high-tech it's crazy!

[@mtbboy1993]

4:18 you can install grip/anti slip tape for better grip.

[@davidgarza2267]

Yup. Skateboard tape works a peach for brake/shifter/dropper levers. Lots of color options, and you can cut it to whatever size you need.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Not a bad idea.....

[@Ghost915A1]

You guy's should do a bike check on that E-bike Brandi was riding, it seemed pretty quiet. Probably not budget though! The Ledge is looking good minus the pool noodles on the bars. lol Just teasing, grips are a very personal thing.

[@brandihodges9548]

Haha...yeah, not budget. Has the Bosch gen4 cx performance motor

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man that would of been a great idea:) But that quiet has a HUGE price tag!! LOL And WOW POOL NOODLES!! HA HA Man I know the Ledge will be safe and sound if I ever fall into the lake while riding along it!! LOL Its all good man, they are a little funky but I will have to see just how they feel:)

[@husky0877]

I think you have put the front brake adapter on upside down. It says up on it, on the bike the up is facing down.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Really? Well it did not have an arrow on it but it makes great contact with the rotor.....Hmmmmmmm might need to get on that:) Thanks for looking out Husky! We were just talking about some fish and mashed peas earlier!! LOL

[@mariopejovic]

I can't remember have you used Tektro hydraulic brakes previuosly. It will be interesting to see you testing that set, to see how it compares to Shimano's MT200 or any other big brand brakes. also, you'll need separate storage unit just for forks. I hope you had a great time on vacation. stay safe my friends!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man it was wonderful, thanks for asking:) The brakes on the other hand are fine on the Comp-ZERKER but I am interested as well when it comes to the overall stopping power and performance when comparing them to the Mt200's?? Not too sure!! See you FRIDAY MARIO!!

[@lannonan]

I've got fookers, they're great but the end cap screw fell out and the bearings were shot, they were awesome until the screw fell out though. . Put some loktite on there just in case

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thanks for that. I will look at doing that this weekend.👍

[@kevinrightmeyer7892]

I couldn't help but notice, is your rear shock supposed to be mounted like that? The shock mounted on my bike goes the other way so that the float fluid/oil can lubricate the shaft and seals when it moves under load.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man it was a whole thing during install, we talk all about it. 😂😂 Checkout the video

[@michaelsprinzeles4022]

You can really feel the love in this video;) The project is looking good. I like those Fooking pedals. How do you feel about internal routing? I've avoided it, thinking it's an unnecessary PITA but can't speak from experience. Get ready for room temp beer in the UK.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man thank you Michael, so glad you felt that way man. I know alot of non coffee purchasers are not really keen on out videos with shoutouts but we really owe them and the channel and content would not be anywhere near without them helping u support some builds for everyone to see:) Also the internal NO THANK YOU!! OVERRATED!! LOL Oh and Wolfman says he welcomes room temp beer, thats how he drinks his german Pilsners!!

[@guitartec]

Hey Jere, got the stickers, thanks so much man. You're the best. They're already stuck on my bike. I guess I need to change my utoob name to Biketec instead of Guitartec so you can give me the shoutout. If you're ever in New England I'll buy you and pop a real cuppa joe : D

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Hey man, glad you got them. We didn't forget you, did we? I will watch it back but I'm pretty sure we showed your name on the screen. Ok, I think you were wondering why we didn't say your name. We actually only verbally say your name if you do 5 or more coffee's, but that's about to change to probably 6 or more just to keep it moving along. We will still be putting up the names of the other supporters on the screen like we do now. We appreciate all support, but we understand that not everyone wants to listen to shoutouts so we try to balance it out a little. Hopefully this clears things up a bit. Thanks again for your support of the channel👍🥰

[@guitartec]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Jere, no sweat, really. I run my own guitar repair business for the last 45 years. I advertise on craigslist daily where I always show the guitars I've been working on. I think many players come to me just so they can see their guitars on my bench in my craigslist ads. It's a big deal to them, which I can totally understand. I used to think it was all about ego, but it's really about connection as people vest themselves in the things they have chosen. I definitely do and I think that's what it means to me. Again, it's no biggie, really, but I do find it funny that I am totally no different from my customers. Thanks for all you do, my bike and I really appreciate it.

[@PHFishingBiking]

Nice the ledge looks way better with the bars! I got some orange fookers on my ledge! Also upgraded mine so far with PNW Range gen 3 bars, ESI grips, DNM DV-22AR coil shock with a 550lb spring, Rock shox judy silver TK 120mm fork, Tannus amour rear tire insert. I was wondering how you put the brakes on guess you need a tool to cut the line and re do it all to get it to go through the frame. Great video.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man yours sounds like a beast!! Now go and get some BRAKES!! LOL YOU WILL NEED THEM HA HA HA!! Thanks PH, always love the comments man.

[@108mmbb]

I have rockbros lock on foam grips. They’re very comfortable but they can tear kind of easily especially with gloves on. Also maybe this would be a good time to try out some break lever grips?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Possibly on the lever grips....I do have some on the GT, they are a little thick feeling for me but they are nice in winter! LOL Thanks Brother

[@fimbles1015]

I have these same brakes on my bike. Last week the rear brake lever went completley spongey and i noticed there was mineral oil coming from the small pin vent on top of the lever, Not the bleed screw. Any ideas what could cause this? The bike is around 2 months old.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Hmmmm, i would hit up tektro man. We have had good luck with the customer service 😀

[@more_beans_mr_taggart4057]

Foam grips don't really help. The cold will radiate through from the metal handlebar. The only thing that works is those thick foam grips. Or get a carbon bar.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

[@onlyonecannoli3952]

I owe you an apology Wolfman. I told you a few videos back that you were being a little hard on the Tick, but after seeing this intro...the Tick had it coming to him. I feel ya! I have a Tick of my own, so I feel your pain! Lol!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

😂😂 It's all good brother, appreciate your apology and it is accepted!! LOL We all need to set the Tick straight every once in a while 😅

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

That was The Tick answering as me for some reason. Man I'm good, I have had a lifetime of people telling me that I'm doing it wrong😆. We have always referred to it as the "butt syndrome"🤣. You hear things like, "your boys are so good, but you need to go easier on them". Or stuff like, "you think your kids like you, but when they turn 18, they are moving far away from you". My all time favorite is probably, "those Cullum boys are so nice, but their dad is an a$$h0le"🤣. The truth is, The Tick is extremely hard to deal with sometimes and he knows it, but we are best friends and not just father and son. It might not work for lots of people, but it works for us. Don't worry he gives as much as he gets, it's just y'all don't see it because he does most of the editing😉😆. Hopefully you and your little Tick have a good relationship when he gets older. I see lots of parents and kids grow apart and not in a good way if you know what I mean. Thanks man👍

you guys should buy a set of magura mt thirtys, i have a set of them, and their are a very, very powerful affordable 4 piston brake

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

I thought we had. We might have some or I might be thinking of these. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnykeXeir7SHr68 I think they are knock offs of those. We have some more budget brakes coming soon, so stay tuned👍

What's the difference between M275 and M285?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man not too sire, I think just the model name, they look the exact same....

[@yardsalecycles]

Hello from Bucharest România 👍

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Hello! Thank you for watching all the way from over there!!

Those large diameter Tektro rotors vibrate against the brake pads when you hit a bump and rattle. Very annoying.

[@purplegarage05]

Tektro seems to have alot of cheap entry level brakes but from what I've heard they're all just a but less powerful than mt200s

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man not too sure yet, just got a comment earlier saying they are an upgrade form them?? I guess we will all find out:) Thanks Budget MTB always look forward to your comments man:)

[@pulgadog9590]

Man if there is shame in using spacers then I guess I should be hiding under a rock. But my feeling is if the other guys can see your spacers then you ain't riding hard enough.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

DAMN GOOD POINT!!!! The only stopping I do is to see what I BROKE!!! LOL Thanks Pulga

[@johnchristopher5075]

Are these Tektro brakes two potters or four potters. The Tektro brakes which came shipped with my Giant Fathom E+3 pro were a utter piece of crap.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

These are 2 potters:/ But we did review them John (on Ragnarok) and we can say the video will be out in a few weeks with some pretty good stopping power for the money:)

[@DhimaRider]

Tektros makes entry level brakes better than shimano .. but their expensive brakes are bad

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

🤔hmm I'm not sure that I can agree on that if MT200's are considered entry level. We like Tektro just fine but if they are the same price as the MT200, I think it's a no brainer to go Shimano. The Tick just chimed in and agreed with me, although he thought that Tektro has it's good points as well. Thanks man👍

[@stephenbouck]

Is anything budget anymore lol thats just how the world is right now hopefully things get better

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

[@dennisyoung4631]

Those mechanical disks verge on being Annoying! I think y’all need some Vibra-tite. It’s like a mildly-reusable blue loktite.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Gotcha, that sounds like a plan. I know the exact noise your talking about 😁

[@diogomtb6814]

What is your wrestling name in IOWA 😂

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

"MANDINGO"

[@shanikol3533]

Hii

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

👋

[@byunknwn]

I have used it. Awful brakes, dont waste ur money. I had it in the rear wheel and it was stupidly spongy.

[@FlorinCalisthenics]

these brakes are terrible, they don't have any modulation, they squeak, the braking force is very weak, the shimano mt200 are much better

[@MrJack9108]

LMAO . . .

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]
