You can find adapters for non-boost wheels to fit a boost fork. They cost between $10.00 to $20.00. They come with spacers for the axel to increase the axel spacing from 100mm to 110mm. Make sure it has a spacer for the brake rotor to move it out to fit the calipers.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Well man I got a link and used it from a fellow subscriber!! It cost $13 and they have the spacer for the rotor as well, thanks for the heads up brother, appreciated

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

HA HA will be watching my man!! Thanks Alex:) Spacers ordered!!!

[@crazy8sdrums]

Most bikes have a different length headtube so forks are made with extra steerer tube length. You are supposed to cut the extra length off.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Yeah we got ya brother:) Just we have that long history of cutting steerer tubes to fit certain bikes!!!! Like the ZTZ and the LUTU so dad was giving me crap, thats why we had to make it a big deal

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

@Crazy 8s Drums This is the old guy. You are correct, but that is when someone is putting the fork on one bike. We have 9 projects going and we sometimes need to swap parts or have hand me downs. Just like you said bikes have different length headtubes, so we have to leave enough on the fork for a variety of bikes. I think you understand what we are saying. Thanks for your support man.

[@crazy8sdrums]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS IMO, the headtube on MTB should be a fixed length, for exactly those reasons. Some of these forks cost just stupid money....

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

@Crazy 8s Drums We could not agree with you more. If that were the case we would not even have to cut the steerer tube because it would be universal. Could you please start a movement for this standard headtube thing to happen haha. Thanks again man.

[@crazy8sdrums]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS There is a way to help you use those forks... A head tube extender. www.amazon.com/s?k=head+tube+extender+bike&crid=3KRD3KMOX6G7K&sprefix=head+tube+extender%2Caps%2C162&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_18

[@geomountainbikehandguards3876]

The new build looks KILLER and the DEAL on the fork blew me away! $500.00 for a name brand fork is a fair deal and you guys got it for 1/2 that much! Building a bike on a budget can be challenging and rewarding and once you get to try out the FRUITS of your labor it’s always a great experience. I’ve built up a few bikes and each one has its unique challenges... like not having a BOOST front wheel! Have fun with the build and I’m looking forward to seeing the first ride!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Gonna be golden !!! Thanks guys and very good deal on the forks, cant wait to try them out. We will see if we can fit everything into our $1000 budget with the bike price included:) Gonna be a challenge but the Fruits are gonna be sweet if so!! Thanks GEO

You and me both brother, hell the whole bike!!!

[@mtbboy1993]

great to see the steerer tube was cut properly, the only mistake, was the non boost wheel, not even that big deal as it's not a long term issue, just assembly problem, but I am sure you will get that sorted soon. get adapters, check with the manufacturer if they offer adapters for this hub if not get aftermarket stuff, if you can't find specific kit for this hub, go for universal kit.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Did and done!!!! Thanks Johannes

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

😁😁😉

[@vmoutsop]

Here is why I was waiting for this video. When upgrading the front suspension you can run into wheel spacing issues like you just did, axle sizes, Boost/regular, etc. I don't want to buy front suspension until I figure out what to do about the wheels. Right now the front has 9x100 QR which doesn't look like it would last on a real trail. I know you watch Kev's channel so you know what I'm talking about because I said it there and I know you were there too I saw you. I wish someone would (maybe you guys at some point) get into how to buy wheelsets a little more - what to look for and where to find them, etc. They seem very difficult to configure and find online. Example: If I want a 29" wheelset , whats a cost effective but good hub (Novatec?), I want 2.5+ tires, inner width of rim should be 25-29mm, who has that? How do you know if you are getting a 3 or 5 pawl or which is good enough?, What do I need for the front wheel F - QR 9x100, 15x100 or 15x110 Boost and what about the rear R - 12x142 or 12x148 Boost? Do I need a rear wheel, do I buy just a front wheel or is better to buy the whole thing as a set? I'm going down a rabbit hole here now because now my rear cassette and derailleur get impacted when I mess with the rear wheel. I need help. -Val from Boston. Thx.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Hey brother, it is a rabbit hole for sure! And can be very very confusing. Lets start with the bike and fork you are looking at. What bike do you have + wheel size, then if you dont have a fork in mind thats fine we can help you there as well. A 9mm QR has served me well and I have never heard of anyone bending one or a failure. Not saying it cant happen but I have take my GT on some very hairy stuff and not once has the Axle ever failed me, but anyways let us know please

[@matt-zs2rj]

Great video! Download the rockshox app and put in your fork serial number and body measurements. It will give you a good starting point to set air pressure and rebound! Also, that fork has adjustable travel, all you have to do is remove some spacers and it may make an interesting video

Haven't watched this yet but im wondering something. Where is the Sandstorm? You need to do a dual sus budget upgrade. There is a budget rear air shock made by DNM I think. It seemed like you had fun trail testing that thing.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Man it was a blast brother, and we enjoyed it! The front hub is making a weird noise, about a month ago we went to take it back and exchange it but they are out of stock. So it will be upgrdaed with that $100 schock most likely when we get another model, but it is coming sooner or later:) Thanks Ian

[@PRamsey77]

Sorry Wolfman, but fork tubes are meant to be cut. Tick, I just got that stem last Thursday. Its pretty sick. This is becoming my favorite build. Looks sweet. Good color combos. Need the pedals and grips to be a bright contrast color.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

You are right. Anyone that has a bike and gets a new fork should size and cut the steerer tube. When you have 9 projects and you cant afford to be buying a fork for each one then it is different story. Jeremiah has a budget of $1000 for the whole bike including the bike and he just blew $230 of it. I don't know if he will finish this out the way we planed at this rate. I will tell him to look at your suggestions on parts. Thanks for the support man.

[@PRamsey77]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS trust me Wolfman, I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but forks aren't really meant to be switched from this bike to that bike for comparison. Not all head tubes are created equal. I dig what you guys are doing.

Haha no rain detected here. I'm just saying the LUTU's and ZTZ's were screwed by cutting them for the GT. Now we have other bikes that need the forks, and they don't fit.

[@mtbboy1993]

13:13 the bike looks much better now, and yes you can convert the front to boost. I know there are universal kits that work with all hubs, but the problem is they use spacers you have to hold in place while sliding axle thru, suuch a kit will include rotor spacer, two spacers one for each side of the hub. but you might be able to get adaptors that instead. looks like you have a Novatec hub, in any case you will be able to get it resolved, but then all you will have then is rotor adaptor, spacers for hub, one on each side, unless it's a kit that just moves the hub to the left by using one wide adapter, hope does that with their kit, it's not even a kit, just one spacer, but I have MRP better boost adapter, so I did not have to dish the front wheel, I just used spacer, for rotor and adapters. but on the rear I used Hope Tech kit.

You guys have to cut the forks don't fight it

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Haha we compromised and cut half as much so we can still possibly use them on future projects.😜

[@wwazemog6026]

Would you recommend the krcrs fork or the lutu for the gt ?!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Well that's a tough one. We have a lot of miles on the LUTU's and we have not had a chance yet on the KRSEC's. The KRSEC's have the best rebound adjustment that we have seen yet. The LUTU's are tough as nails so far. I think you could go either way and be happy for the money. Hope this helps at least a little.

[@wwazemog6026]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS ​ hey man thanks for the reply. I actually said yolo and went a little over budget and got the rockshox recon RL for the GT. did you have any issues installing a new fork on the GT? do i need new bearings ? A star nut came with the rockshox correct?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Cool man I cant wait to see what you think!Now they did not come with a star nut and I totally recommend a new headset!

[@bradrunge2895]

Which cassette would u recommend? 42 tooth or 50? Im not getting any young and hills are knee killers for me

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

😂😂Well what spd? 8,or 10? And is it the Taff's original wheelset or a completely different build? Thanks man

[@bradrunge2895]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS 10 speed and yes its original wheelset sorry

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Well ma I would recommend the 42 tooth, its enough top end speed and enough torque to really get going up ad down hills. I will be sticking with mine for a while, but you wont be able to switch yours up man until you get a new wheelset or a freewheel that will accommodate that. Right or what is your plan?

[@bradrunge2895]

sweet forks. it be interesting to see your take on how does it feel when going from quick release or any other way with dropouts to bolt thru axle. although, not sure will it be possible to notice difference with upgrading from budged coil forks to fancy RS one. keep 'em coming!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thank you so much Mario, Im curious as well this is by far the fork with the most pressure on it!!!! Has to be good right??:) Well we will find out soon I hope, thanks again brother we appreciate ya! Soon we will be doing a bike check on our stable>

[@jarodlynch3429]

I am really glad to see budget reviews. I have a question regarding forks you have been testing. I am going to upgrade the forks on my daughter's trek marlin which has a coil fork right now. She is only 9 and only weighs 60ish pounds. Of all the forks you have tested could you please talk about how the budget forks compares to the rockshox? Or let me know what you would recommend? Thanks and keep up the great vids

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Yes sir, and will do. When we get the RockShox and the rest of the Taff project going, I will be sure to talk about the differences and feel. Maybe there will be minimal??? For $100 more there better not be!:) Thanks and hope you stick around man.

[@vexis170x]

Hey now lets not get too excited!!! LOL:)

[@darkriverracing22]

When you start getting to the mid to high end, you'll always end up needing to cut the steerer tube. Good job on that, BTW. I've always preferred a pipe cutter to a hacksaw!

6:27 just a regular cardboard? that must be OEM packaging, what bicycle factories get to build their bikes up, cus RockShox comes with a box that clearly states Rock Shox, also has the model number on it, and is a more robust box. but that fork is a much better fork than any of the forks you had.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Ha HA will see, the fork number is listed but the seller states box will come in OEM packaging.

[@mtbboy1993]

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS 7:10 this fork has a feature on Rockshox forks have, it's Torque caps culpability, that's big adapters on the hub, to increase the stiffness. I haven't tried a fork and a hub with that yet.

Forgot to mention I had the same issue on my GT avalanche when I upgraded my front fork to the rockshox sid lol it arrived in the mail , smh lol had to go upgrade my front rim to make it work , I ended up getting a race face affect front rim with the boost true axle 🤯😂.. i’m interested to see how it works out for you guys , i’m guessing we’ll find out in a future video, happy trails fellas 😎 🤙🏽

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Funny and it sucks to learn by trial and error!!!Ha ha but we have made a channel of it. It will workout fine im sure just gotta not make any mistakes, the bike has a budget of $1000 including bike price!!!:0

[@jeffjackson9483]

WOLFTICK VIDEOS , yes indeed bro your guys channel is the place for that! I can totally relate to the trial and error stuff !! I will say its a great way to really learn though, Because when you mess up you get pissed off and you don’t forget !!🤣 .. ok awesome bro , With that budget sounds like you guys can afford a few more upgrades 😎

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Dude it goes so fast though!!! Trying to see if you can make a bike cheaper with all components better than you can buy a bottom line bike shop bike at around $1000 to $1200. Hope so, also going to be doing a bike check soon on all our rides!!

[@jeffjackson9483]

WOLFTICK VIDEOS lol yeah bro your right , it’s goes quick as hell and its really easy to spend more than intended lol Not like I know that from personal experience or anything 😏🤣.. Thats partially why I like the channel because you guys do everything on a budget .. 😎.. Funny you say that because The only thing stock on my XL GT Avalanche is the frame, I believe I could’ve spent a lot less money if I would’ve just built my own bike from the get-go 🤷🏽‍♂️🤯😳🤣 .. like always stay safe and blessed Fellas, from your hippie buddy in Cali 🤙🏽😂🤣✌🏽

[@jasonsierchio1167]

OH MAN I love this channel. First of all, bike's looking SICK. Can't wait for a review on the RockShox... Second of all.... HAHAHA .. you had me cracking up. From my experience, usually Jessica comes pre-lubed. ;) You guys are the best. This is def. in my top 5 KZbin channels, top 3 even.... I did the 1x conversion on my Aggressor. Had to beat off the drive side crank... was beating off for 2 hours... My neighbor was probably pissed because of all the noise... When it came... off... It felt so good, I was so excited I wound up yelling.. Such a good feeling to get that crank off. Got some cheap pedals as well, RockBros, they're pretty much imitation RaceFace. So much better. I wanna know if, in your opinion, after you get some riding in on the RockShox, if you think it's worth the extra cash money to go name brand, or if the knock offs are just as good (but probably break faster and lacking in the warranty department). My local trails are set to reopen October 3rd... hopefully they actually open this time... it keeps getting pushed back because of rain... so I haven't done much off pavement w/ the Aggressor yet :(. But I put at least 10 miles in daily and so far I'm loving it.. especially w/ the 1x. I think the oval chainring makes a HUGE difference. Got new grips in the mail today.. Ergon GA2.. hopefully they help w/ my hands going numb.. Anyways, sorry for rambling but watching this video put me in a good mood... YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Very funny man!! When you beat it that hard without the right setup, its bound to piss people off. Its a lot smoother during the morning hours when people are gone off to work;) Just some advice for ya in the future. And as for a pre lubed Jessica completely understand, found out this past weekend:) I know you mind when you look down finding a jessica between your legs, but for some reason.....I dont mind it at ALL! Glad you found our channel and GOODNIGHT brother! Bike is coming along:)
