Love what you've done with it. It looks amazing and seems like it's well worth the money. I have a mongoose from Walmart myself and you kinda made me interest in upgrading it as well. I have an unrelated question though. What camera is the this video filmed with? The autofocus is awesome.
Thanks, you'll have a great time working on that bike! The camera is the Sony a6600 with a Sigma 16mm 1.4f lens. All of my gear is listed at the bottom of my video description.
Doing similar build with Schwinn Taff. Ride hard on stock bike, while you are learning upgrades. Then start stocking your bike with the componites you want and need for your style of riding.
Awesome job man! I built a Hyper Hydroform from Walmart after visiting my local bike shop as saw $1700 - $4800 for a full suspension ride 😄😂! Building and working on it i think was more fun than riding it some times!
Love all the upgrades! Good choice between doing that and spending on the Marlin. Not that the Marlin is bad, but this is a sweet ride customized for you!
Plus there's nothing like knowing you were the one that actually built the bike up to where it is today, that's why I would rather buy a cheap bike and upgrade it as opposed to buying an expensive bike with the the parts already on it.
Great video and review! The XR Pro is a diamond in the rough so to speak. I picked one up 3 yrs ago. Did similar mods as you, just not a 1x11 yet. But I learned to wrench on bikes with it and ended up building a GT sensor 26in from a frame I scored on eBay. Enjoy your goose!
Thanks for the compliments! I'm still loving it! It won't fit in my car anymore so I'm STILL waiting on my bike rack to ship from Thule so I'm can take it out to the trails to get it filthy again. Ride safe!
Ride on my friend! So glad to find folk with the same philosopy about recreational pursuits, especially cycling. Bike snobbery has harshed cycling since the beginning-of course until the Wright Bros. trumped Giant, Trek and all when they built the Wright Flyer in their shop. Then there is the Gossamer Albatross that crossed the English Channel. Just to put a bit of perspective on the ignorance of snobs. Great video! Helpful and inspiring.
I have an XR-pro that i paid new $299. $550 in upgrades. Its a sturdy frame for a super price. Good video. After a certain point the rider is far more important than the upgrades on the bicycle, and the knowledge gained priceless. I think you have achieved this balance.
I had issues with my XR Pro from the start. I now have two via Walmart warranty and still had the same issue now with two bikes. 😂 Watching video helped me decide to just go ahead and repair and upgrade my own XR.
I have the first addition XR Pro😂 from 2012 you think you had problems, OMG, 12 years later still a great break, but everything broke quickly out of the box, and the brakes wouldn't even slow the bike down. But about $1,000 later it's all good.
The best mongoose to get these days is the ledge x1/x2 depending on your height. The biggest plus to the x1/x2 is that it comes with a tapered head tube, so you can buy really high end forks if you wanted to.
Awsome job man!!! I did the same thing. Built a bas a$$ 27.5 hybrid dirt jump single speed bike from a GT Aggressor Pro small frame and I absolutely love it and now I know every inch of that bike. I know every nut and bolt has been installed correctly and can now trouble shoot anything that happens to go wrong with it.
I did the same thing to my old Ironhorse Warrior 3.1 26" and now it is a serious machine that will take anything I'd throw at her without a hiccup . I used the same Rockshox fork , rear DNM shock , Shimano MT200 brakeset but I used a 1x10 M6000 Deore drivetrain , the botton bracket ( IXF ) and a Meijun double wall wheel set . I recommend you to upgrade to 180 mm rotors . I love your upgrade , well done , brother . Well done .
Love it man! I’m in the exact same position. Purchased the 29” Schwinn Axium and slowly upgrading to all the parts that I want and prefer. Bike looks awesome and thanks for sharing
Thanks for your review. The reasoning behind your upgrade, and other videos I watched online, helped me decide to purchase an XR pro. Not disappointed at all. Came from another full squish steel walmart bike that could not be upgraded( 1 inch threaded steerer tubes and 26 inch wheels are a bummer). Was considering a diamondback for 2k but still didn't have dropper post or quality suspension. Am considering buying pedal assist electric kit. Will still be under a 1600 price budget. Again, thx for the review.
I can tell you that bike is gonna survive trough the time, I got mine since 1997 and I use it to go everywhere since then and it still run great without much done to it
I'm a bike mechanic I can tell you we do know what we are doing as we study for a qualification in bike mechanics which makes us competent to work on your bikes but love your build and agree modify your current bike I do the same
Great upgrades I did something similar to my 26 year old rigid Trek mountain bike. I converted mine into a path/gravel bike. I learned so much working on it. I’ve had the same experience at bike shops. I’d rather do it myself. I know you will enjoy your bike more because you built it up.
Congrats on your bike. You have built a really sweet ride. I will be buying a mongoose or other 29inch budget aluminum bike and upgrading. In the meantime I am upgrading a 26 inch extremely budget walmart bike I had for many years. Until I learn a little more mtb skills. I also learned a lot in the process and know how to fix my bike on the trail now too. 👍
I feel like mountain biking now days is just a fashion show. I ride a mongoose otero i got on Craigslist for $250 and it does great. And its a fun project bike. Im not hucking any cliffs although it probably could. i dont need to spend 3k on a mtb. Its been a great bike to start riding on. They say "life is too short to ride a shitty bike" well i say like is to short to not ride at all!
Im rocking a couple 2004ish 26er bikes on the trails For a while 2.1 tires LOL Did everything the 3k 27.5 and 29er plus tire.gjts have done. Marin bobcat trail and Kona Dawg Running 2.4/2.25 combo now
I have the same mindset that you have. I much prefer to buy a lower end bike and just upgrade it. I bought a $500 GT Aggressor Pro last year and I've upgraded every single part except for the rims. I've put about $1500 into it and tbh the parts aren't even the best parts, for example i upgraded the mechanical disc brakes to some budget Zoom hydraulic disc brakes that cost $67.00 for the front and rear together, then I upgraded those to Shimano MT200s, and I plan on upgrading those to Shimano Deore M6100s probably in a few weeks. It's a never ending upgrading cycle but I love it. Probably the only thing I really splurged on was buying a $100 RaceFace Atlas Stem, which I'm using a $30 handlebar with lol.
Hello thanks for content . I have leavened my lesson with “real” affordable bikes. The Giant brand make decent bikes under $1000 bucks.. My experience is to buy a nice bike and it will save you a lot of headaches and it will ride a lot better. .
You just gave me the drill and Seal seat tube for the internal Dropper Post! The 27.2cm seat tubes are expensive! Bravo from the Over 50years Old, Over 250lbs, and Still riding! ja ja ja ja js
Absolutely by this bike it's highly upgradeable I have a 750w bafang motor on it and I've had no problems whatsoever for the two years I've owned it it's awesome
@@Willsayittoyourface I used 52 watt dolphin battery in frame you need to use too large radiator clamps to hold the battery in place and one smaller one around the lower frame by the shock on that lower frame to keep the battery from sliding down into the shock it works great keeps the weight low for good handling on the front lower where the bracket slides in just take a pair of pliers and clip the front lower off so the battery stays flush on the lower frame it's a tight fit but it clears everything good luck have fun
@@jeffcornell8061 can you put a video up Jeff if you have the time, a quick full throttle an look of how it looks. I have a malus w/red rim that I put a 1500w bafang on it's my mountain Goat that does 33mph on throttle alone .. so with this xr I'm doing a ludicrous build, well that's the plan so far
I can relate, I wanted to upgrade my fat tire Mongoose and found my local bike shop to be elitist jerks and pretty much told me it was a piece of crap and not worth their time. I had a great time upgrading it myself using parts I got off Amazon, buying the tools I needed and learning how to do the work myself and I ended up with a nice riding, great looking bike.
Nice bike dude, doesn't look like a Walmart bike now. I started to follow your wireless earphones clips few days ago and now I see this. I'm almost a "hardcore bike entushiast" and now I have two reasons to watch your clips.
Really would've loved tapered head tube, but guess can't have it all. Some compromises are necessary sometimes.( mongoose ledge x2 was my 1st choice but not available anymore).
Nice, There are some snobs about, I am in various FB groups, and if you haven't spent 3 grand on the latest carbon MTB then you are not serious, I am currently riding an upgraded 2nd hand alu Trek, which cost me less than £200 in total, £50 for bike and rest in upgrades which are still ongoing and am going all sorts of places on and it's not had 1 issue, getting back into MTB after a long hiatus, (last time I was serious was in the v early 90's) I can do all my own maintenance/ overhauls, I was always good at that side of cycling
At the end of your GREAT video you said you did the work yourself...would you consider doing videos on how to work on mountain bikes? Like installing shocks and other work.
I’m amazed the original wheel set lasted that long. My Walmart bike wheels didn’t last 6 months but that was like 20 years ago. They might make better rims now.
Great video man! You got a great voice for RUclips and explain things very well. Keep it up! This bike seemed to increase in price and is hard to find online. So I just bought me the Mongoose Temissor 29in. Looks to have the same upgradability as the XR Pro for 50-100 dollars less.
I was watching your Samsung Galaxy Buds Live video (which I just got few days ago) and noticed your MTB. Someone asked about your bike and you sent him to this link - well, I got curious too. Nice upgrades on your bike. I used to be really into mountain biking but suffered meniscus tear on my left knee so it's been awhile since I've been back to Terry Hershey Park single-track trails. Hearing you talk about mountain biking is giving me an itch ride again! Btw, really enjoyed both of your videos.
Cool my friend!! Im glad that you up, upgraded your bike...to a whole new riding experience especially when you did the upgrade yourself..2 emogis for you bro..jijiji well I ride myself on a specialize ground control bike and recently I had a small mishap with my frame shock and im searching for a regular budget shock and im still on it..well.. keep on riding bro cuz im getting back on my ride here on the country side here in PUERTO RICO 's heat..incredible heat nen...i mean it😁🤪🤪🤪☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️have a good one and take care..be safe👍👍🇵🇷🇵🇷🙏🙏
The Marlin 7 is a very nice bike. But its going to fall short of a decked-out xr-pro everytime. But to do the xr-pro justice, you're looking at $15 $16 hundred.
I don't know if Decathlon exists in the US, if there isn't, it's basically Dick's Sporting Goods and like they have a bike brand named Rockrider and they have quite a bad reputation for their cheap bikes, but I saw that they have high end mountain bikes starting from 1k€ and a full suspension down country mtb for 1.4k€, and I bought it and tbh I love it, I only need to put gripper tires and clipless pedals and that's it, so big box bikes doesn't always mean bad bikes
Love what you did. She's looking pretty fly. I love my XR-Pro which I purchased new back in 2018 for a cool $400 but I can hang with all the "Real" bikes like the Trek's and Giant's out on the trails at a fraction of the cost! I'm at $750 with mine. I still need to upgrade the brakes, derailer, cassette, tires and add a dropper post.
Sick bike setup....I have moongoose XR Pro and still like stock LOl....I only changed Tires....But everything is so fck price up.......Will take time...
I paid $400 for that bike 4 years ago. Got out of riding but I wanna get back into it. I'm gonna upgrade mine and get back at it. I feel bad because I left it outside. Didn't have a place to put it. I do now, though.

The most important thing is that you are happy and you learned some things. For me I bought trek bikes three years ago for me and the wife so I’m set.
I couldn't agree more. MTB is supposed to be about getting dirty, community, and an occasional ER visit 😂😂😂 Happy riding! 👊

Amazing bike I think you did a great job and gave this bike the tune up that it need. Have fun my g
Thanks bro! 🙌
fine job there and agree hundred percent that it truly is fun taking a canvas building it out with parts you want making it totally yours
175 mm is equal to about 7 inches. I’m assuming your handlebars are closer to 775 mm in width.

Great Job. Just paid 499$ for one and have spent about $900 replacing everything plus wheels. I like the stock tires
I'm building a huffy marker right now! Budget builds rock!
Awesome stuff! I ride a Specialized Bike and it has been really good for the past 5 years. Cheers!
Sweet! That was one of the few I considered. Happy riding and stay safe! 🙌

Mountain biking and headphones!! 2 of my favorite things!!

Great job on the upgrade
Very rewarding experience.
Absolutely by this bike it's highly upgradeable I have a 750w bafang motor on it and I've had no problems whatsoever for the two years I've owned it it's awesome

The is the best MTB Wal Mart has sold in who knows how long. It's great stock but is great to upgrade.
I just bought a Marlin 6 a few days ago, I’ve only ridden it one time and I am already looking at upgrades.
You did a helluva job 👏
I can relate, I wanted to upgrade my fat tire Mongoose and found my local bike shop to be elitist jerks and pretty much told me it was a piece of crap and not worth their time. I had a great time upgrading it myself using parts I got off Amazon, buying the tools I needed and learning how to do the work myself and I ended up with a nice riding, great looking bike.
Whatevs..you in your heart know you could get a real job and buy a real bike....no judging I was you ten years ago.

Nice bike dude, doesn't look like a Walmart bike now. I started to follow your wireless earphones clips few days ago and now I see this. I'm almost a "hardcore bike entushiast" and now I have two reasons to watch your clips.
Really would've loved tapered head tube, but guess can't have it all. Some compromises are necessary sometimes.( mongoose ledge x2 was my 1st choice but not available anymore).
Great hands on, I have a Haro 8.1 I'm upgrading (same family back in the day...Mongoose, Dyno & Haro) keep it pushin' Bro
Nice! Good thinking!
Wow I like how you did on the seat
Great vid👍
Just got this same bike on offer up for $100! I’m going to be upgrading it as well. Maybe just forks and rear shock for now.
You can move all those parts to a new frame anyways... So it's not a huge thing. Though the straight fork is an issue for new frames.
Awesome work,you rock man!!
Nice, There are some snobs about, I am in various FB groups, and if you haven't spent 3 grand on the latest carbon MTB then you are not serious, I am currently riding an upgraded 2nd hand alu Trek, which cost me less than £200 in total, £50 for bike and rest in upgrades which are still ongoing and am going all sorts of places on and it's not had 1 issue, getting back into MTB after a long hiatus, (last time I was serious was in the v early 90's) I can do all my own maintenance/ overhauls, I was always good at that side of cycling

dude please put some pics to show how it looks an a little full throttle run, i'm wondering how low your clearance is
@@Willsayittoyourface but I don't know how to send pictures
I was looking at this bike in 2018 but I went with something else. I might have to come ride with you in houston
good staf man!!!!!!
The Marlin 7 is a very nice bike. But its going to fall short of a decked-out xr-pro everytime. But to do the xr-pro justice, you're looking at $15 $16 hundred.
I don't know if Decathlon exists in the US, if there isn't, it's basically Dick's Sporting Goods and like they have a bike brand named Rockrider and they have quite a bad reputation for their cheap bikes, but I saw that they have high end mountain bikes starting from 1k€ and a full suspension down country mtb for 1.4k€, and I bought it and tbh I love it, I only need to put gripper tires and clipless pedals and that's it, so big box bikes doesn't always mean bad bikes
Nice work, love the upgrades.
Love what you did. She's looking pretty fly. I love my XR-Pro which I purchased new back in 2018 for a cool $400 but I can hang with all the "Real" bikes like the Trek's and Giant's out on the trails at a fraction of the cost! I'm at $750 with mine. I still need to upgrade the brakes, derailer, cassette, tires and add a dropper post.
Great video. Nice upgrades!
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!
Alright, now we need to see you shred them trails.
Don't you worry, I'm gonna ride the hell out of this thing! 👊😂

Thanks!
I paid $400 for that bike 4 years ago. Got out of riding but I wanna get back into it. I'm gonna upgrade mine and get back at it. I feel bad because I left it outside. Didn't have a place to put it. I do now, though.
You're gonna have SO much fun upgrading and riding this beast!
Beat the crap out of it for over 4 years ... thats speaks for the bike Sir
Very nice!!
