it would look cool, but technically they can't since they are only using parts from around the shop and I don't think they have an oil slick chain, i could be wrong though.
Purple=Passion. Great video. I went shredding today (for a 64 year old heavy guy). I still have the same tektro brakes and have no problem stopping, though I wouldn't do the white line turn with them.
Good call on the spacer on the bottom bracket. If people read the Shimano instruction correctly, they said 2 x 1.25mm spacer. Which equal to 2.5mm and these cheaper crankset only comes wirh 2.5mm spacers
Man I love that oil slick crankset. Also, the lockout feature on the SRAM derailleur is nice. It sure does make taking the wheel off or easy. Even without a clutch, it’s stout enough to minimize the chain slap too.
Enjoyed the video as always! Big J you shaft greaser you 😆 🤣 😂! Love the Anchorman references! @ Wolfdad the Ardor really was a ship 🚢 lol seriously! I know you think I'm pulling your leg 🦵 😏 😉 🤣 but it really was. I'm going to do a video about it. Keep up the good work Gentlemen
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS man that's freakin awesome fellas! That really means a lot gentlemen! We need to have a WolfTick Nation pow wow in Bentonville Arkansas. Bring our Big Box Bikes to the Big Box MTB Capital
I used to think you were a bit cavalier with your chain / chainring alignment. After playing around on multiple bikes and multiple cranks, measuring and doing the math I decided that your method is good as any. When I put the IXF crankset on the 73mm BB Axum I had to forgo the use of any spacers to make the left crankarm marginally secure. The chainring is only 46mm from centerline of the bike, yet it shifts flawlessly with the L-Twoo 10 speed. The left crank arm is still 4-5mm short of being fully seated. It took some searching, but I was able to find an M19 crank end bolt with enough thread to provide for extra insurance on a marginal fit. Maxxis tires have a well-earned reputation. Although they may be heavy, they will take the punishment I'm sure you will give them. Grip choice is easy, go purple! PNW Loam Grip. SRAM Level T is a good brake. I prefer mineral oil over DOT because of toxicity, but go SRAM. Stay vertical.
Thanks for the comment Bob, I appreciate you having some hands on experience then commenting. Everyone has a technical way but when you have 35 bikes it is not as easy as the commenters think lol.
19:21 I am curious how you get along with these grips, I did not, I had to swap them every 4th week if I rode a lot cus the got so soft I felt the handlebar, but when they were fresh they worked well, very comfy, decent grip. I had this issue with all grips I had, it got expensive replacing them. Most expensive grips if you have to replace them that often, but others told me they don't have these issues. So maybe I got only grips from a bad batch. The plugs are junk. The grips won't do well with a Bluetit attack, one made a hole in one grip, nothing huge, but crashing can cause tears and holes too. I am not a fan of the install process, I prefer lock-on grips more secure, won't twist.
Love this video series WolfTick! Letting the Nation pick the parts is so cool guys! Been putting my time and resources into getting my sons RUclips channel up and going. Oil slick crank looks great! Thanks for the shout out on the grips! Gettin’ Hot in Herre🤘
🤣🤣 Shoobybthank you for the grips, they have been on the shelf looking for a home and NOW!! It looks like I will be enjoying them soon enough. Appreciate it brother 🙏
I don’t believe those IXF cranksets are oil slick, I believe the color is referred to as “the most glorious rainbow ever” from Pleasure Town. Wheeeeeeee! Well done on the install sir! Tip of the cap to you as well, Miss Corningstone.
I commented 9 minutes after you posted this video. I guess RUclips deleted it for some reason. Anyway.... I was trying to say thank you for creating these videos and doing budget builds. They gave me the inspiration to start on my Boundary project. I have about $650 total in it. 2021 Schwinn Boundary. 36mm fork, supposed to be 160mm travel. I get about 125 from it. Shimano Deore 5100 1x11 (11-50). Prowheel Claw cranks, bottom bracket and 32 tooth oval chainring. Rockbros pedals, ARC hubs laced to stock wheels, and Clark's Clout 1 hydraulic brakes with 180mm front rotor. The bike is a beast now and shaved a couple lbs to boot. Would really like to bring it over to Arkansas and let you "Send It" to get your thoughts. Thanks again for the content.
Yes sir, thank you for reaching commenting. Glad we got to read this and that's inspiring in itself. Appreciate it brother, would love to SEND IT!!! Let us know when you get here!! Lol
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Were you able to view the build pics via the bit.ly link? Also, from your experience, is a bit of bushing play common on MTB forks as they break in? Thanks again!
Whoooo that oil slick was a good choice ! I was 100 % sure you guys could build at least 2 bikes with all the parts you have ... At least the fail got us that oil slick arms 🤩. Loving the video enjoying this build can't wait to see which tires ,grip and breaks the #wolfticknation picks for Veronica corningstone💪🏾💯
I have one of those same useless cranksets. It was $15 on Amazon for the longest time. I figured it was too good to be true, so I ordered one to see if anything showed up and it did, but the one I ordered was advertised as 104bcd and showed up as direct mount, so I ordered the appropriate chain ring and attempted to use it on a paying customer's gt aggressor pro. It took all 3 spacers to get the drive side to clear the chain stay, then the shaft was too short for the splines to grab on the left side. J.U.N.K!
Coming together nicely. It's going to look good with the purple grips, the duro tire on the rear, and the Kenda on the front. 🤘😎 Slappin' Chains n Takin' Names!
The OEM style NX Eagle shifter is all plastic and the MMX style (the one you have in this video) is soo much like the GX. I love mine and I have the GX pulley with the GX b- bolt kit and it feels almost as good as my GX.
You could have put the spacer you intended to put on the non drive side onto the drive side to get the crank arm away from the frame. The bottom brackets I have installed include a chart w a bunch of numbers for drivetrain geometry ... But, it all comes down to a combination of spacers between the two sides to get the chain wheel spaced and to keep crank arms off the frame. You can get a set of spacers of various sizes on Amazon.
MN we have got tons of spacers, the issue is the clearance and not enough shaft on the L side to bolt to, it was like a 1/4" with 2 spacers being used for the R side. I did not explain that well....
Veronica's looking good! Shame about the crank set, but it's still a great concept for a build. I think I would've chucked all the spacers on the drive side on the unpronounceable crankset to try and gain some clearance and to hell with the chain line 😂😂😂 That sram stuff is weird, mind of its own 😂 Great videos good, looking forward to more progress Take care boys 🍺😎👍
Veronica is looking good. I like the wheels with no tires look, I say go with that 🤣. Also, the PNW loams would look nice with the oil slick but I'm voting for the foamies. Nice to see you guys get sufficiently caffeinated by the #wolfticknation! Hope you had a good weekend shredding, I went kayaking and got sunburned 🔥🦥
Is the chain too long?? the derailleur looks like you losing tension in 12th gear. Great video I'm in bunches for the final product. I'm loving all the anchorman quotes!
That's exactly how I stripped my hub out last night, with a big pipe wrench. Google says 40nm is only 29lbs ft torque then there's some kinda math behind how long the lever is so it's really only like 20 lbs of force or something. I need a torque wrench never actually tried one, just know they have to be stored without tension on the spring - Idk how much it matters but I've been storing my bikes in the lowest gear to save the derailleur sitting at tension The black crank looks like a 20inch bmx 3 piece, has a small chainline like only 45mm versus about 54mm on a 29er 1x. I saw the IXF oil slick on warehouse for cheap 170mm
I gotcha man, and it's funny we we the same thing. Lowest gear for less wear on the derailleur. Also we will be getting a proper wrench for tightening the locking, thanks.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Not 100% sure on the derailleur but it seems to be in a more relaxed position on the smallest cog so over time it might help? I realize I stripped the rear hub by trying to tighten the cassette down instead of putting in a spacer to get rid of the play.
Random question, what is the critter thats providing the background noise in your videos? We are hearing the same critter noise here and we don’t know what animal it is🤷♂️
I am trying to buy a new budget (200 or less) fork for my 29 er but am having trouble finding any of the forks, other than the bolany inverted in a 29 inch tapered variant. I just need 29 inch compatibility, tapered headtube, and the ability to use 160mm rotors. The purchasing links on your fork video did not have the selections I need. Thanks man
Hey brother, appreciate you listening and understanding the comment! LOL it makes it so much easier, now here are some affiliate links.

Guys… I need your help picking a bike, I haven’t ridden in ages so I’m completely outdated… my main problem is that bodies configurations like Jeremiah and I (5’5”) were not built in series so finding I bike I can ride it’s been a nightmare, I can’t publicly say what happened with a specific part on my body when I tried the Northrock XC27 at Costco today… any advise?
Find a bike with a small or medium frame. The GT Aggressor Pro at Dick's Sporting Goods comes in various frame sizes. I think the new model Schwinn bikes are available in different sizes. Been a few reviews on this channel. Really would need to know the price range. But, the frame size (not wheel size) determines if it will fit you
Hey brother a sized frame would do wonders for you. Maybe a small GT aggressor pro, that frame is a good standover for me. Let us know what you think, go to dicks and mess with a GT.
how are all of your Race Face Chester pedals? I've been using mine for a couple months now riding 6 days a week and they still don't spin freely. I even tried taking them apart and regreasing them but they are still stiff. The only thing I didn't do was take the bearings out because I couldn't figure out how to get them out.
Is the Ardor still your favorite bike? Unfortunately for me, I have to live with my Ardor staying stock for awhile. That is other than the saddle, pedals, and grips.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS so it was B bolt? But make sure it works well in largest cog, I shift to 2nd gear, and make syre there is about 3-4mm clearance between largest cog and guide pulley.
Dang I left a comment about quitting tobacco and it got deleted by youtube. Not gonna type that again but anyone struggling to stop, you can do it. Last thing you want is to fall on your bike and get a cut that doesn't heal up due to nicotine delaying the process. End up having a bunch of slow healing wounds and scar tissue. It's a wild substance, same with alcohol.
Solution buy Garbaruk cassette no seperate cogs, but cost of the whole bike probably or more, atleast stock bike😁 but on a serious note installing the cogs has never been an issue for me, but once the freehub body is chewed up so badly the cogs get stuck, you have to use a smooth file to file the splines, or whole casette will get stuck.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS never seen it described as shaft. Usually it's axle, axle is even written on some crank axles. Rotor uses Axle. But I see crank spindle is also used. I see Easton, Race Face has used spindle laser etched on crank axle/spindle.
I would us ethe silver oval chainring you have, that looks like a much better product, if it fits, I don't remember. But I guess you won't take parts from other bikes. But I would build a bike with all the best parts.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS ... I just did this myself when I took a chain (cassette and derailleur) from one bike to another bike ... it shifted fine on the stand but it skipped when I rode it.

Hmmm... Man that's crazy, these have not been used a ton but they are still lie you say. Not free moving either, maybe they use stay like that??
You need to take a couple more links out of the chain, it shouldn’t be sagging like that in the 12 gear
I think 2 would be good, thanks man.
Is the Ardor still your favorite bike?
Unfortunately for me, I have to live with my Ardor staying stock for awhile. That is other than the saddle, pedals, and grips.
That's a beautiful bike. Are you going tubeless? Also you should put cush cores in this bike.
Thanks brother, nope. Not tubeless
15:05 the chain has 5oo much slack, you need to adjust the B bolt.
👍👍🙏 Done and done!! Thank you Johannes.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS so it was B bolt? But make sure it works well in largest cog, I shift to 2nd gear, and make syre there is about 3-4mm clearance between largest cog and guide pulley.
Dang I left a comment about quitting tobacco and it got deleted by youtube. Not gonna type that again but anyone struggling to stop, you can do it. Last thing you want is to fall on your bike and get a cut that doesn't heal up due to nicotine delaying the process. End up having a bunch of slow healing wounds and scar tissue. It's a wild substance, same with alcohol.

Solution buy Garbaruk cassette no seperate cogs, but cost of the whole bike probably or more, atleast stock bike😁 but on a serious note installing the cogs has never been an issue for me, but once the freehub body is chewed up so badly the cogs get stuck, you have to use a smooth file to file the splines, or whole casette will get stuck.
Wow, sounds like it's EXPENSIVE!! Now I would hate to file every spline! Lol
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS steel freehubs are stronger.
“You’re probably wondering where the tube and tire are”. No I’m wondering why you are tightening a cassette tool with a pipe wrench…
🤣🤣🤣Oh God, Tech Jeeper!! Nice to see your still here man, I just did that too se if you would comment!! LOL no more monkey wrenches!! HA ha ha
I gave up on being the Terminologinator!!!
🤣🤣🤣 Man I love your play on words, even if we agree/disagree on SHAFTS!
Crank shaft🤣, it's a spindle
But, it IS the shaft part of the crank. Maybe it was just a creative use of the English language.
🤪🤪😂 SHAFT!!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS never seen it described as shaft. Usually it's axle, axle is even written on some crank axles. Rotor uses Axle.
But I see crank spindle is also used.
I see Easton, Race Face has used spindle laser etched on crank axle/spindle.
I would us ethe silver oval chainring you have, that looks like a much better product, if it fits, I don't remember. But I guess you won't take parts from other bikes. But I would build a bike with all the best parts.
Yeah, everyone mentioned that kind of thing as well. But no other parts 👍

Your chain is too long
Hmmm......maybe a link
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS ... I just did this myself when I took a chain (cassette and derailleur) from one bike to another bike ... it shifted fine on the stand but it skipped when I rode it.
For fuck sakes bro, get rid of the pipe wrench. lol.
