Thanks mate! Trust me, once you build it up and take it for a ride you’ll be grinning ear to ear. Tumbleweed makes a fantastic product. Feels like a monster truck. Happy trails.
Do you still ride both a Prospector and Ogre? The Ogre was my favorite bike so far. I got a complete and ended up slowly customizing every part as they wore out. Unfortunately, I got a bad dent on the top tube and it's no longer rideable. I was thinking of replacing it with a Prospector. Seems like a similar fit. I rode a large Ogre with very swept bars, I think a medoum Prospector will do the trick though
Hey! I ride my Prospector almost every day. Honestly, it’s been the best fitting bike I’ve ever owned and I’m actually thinking about purchasing a Tumbleweed Stargazer or Sunliner. If you’re already running a Rohloff on your ogre the prospector would be a no brainer. Otherwise the Sunliner looks awesome too. I’ve actually packed away my Ogre and it’s in storage. Not looking to get rid of it, but right now it doesn’t serve a purpose for what I want in my fleet.
I’ve never heard of the black sheep. I’ll need to google it! After taking the tumbleweed on a 800k+ bikepacking trip a few weeks ago I’ve decided to remove the 3inch tyres and replace them with 2.6 Mezcals. The 3s were awesome but a little sluggish for me.
Sooo nice! about to order their new sunliner model. which Chris king headset is this if you dont mind? Finding it confusing finding the right one. Think the frame is the same spec pretty much as yours
Hey bro! The new sunliners look grouse! If I didn’t already own the prospector I’d purchase the Sunliner. To be honest with you, I actually don’t know the exact model for the headset, I just asked my mechanic to buy the correct one!
@@heapswellnice no worries dude, I contacted them since sending that message to you and they said they can fit a Chris king on a frame set for me anyway. Can’t wait!
@@heapswellnice Thx man. I have noticed that the top tube slope is more pronounced on the M sized frames than on the L. I wish you a ton of fun on your beast.
Got the same tyres on mine. Actually the “tough” casing (factory) which I can’t find anywhere. About to put some fresh light fast on and see how they go on the Munda Biddi Trail
Sweet bike!
Thanks! It’s an epic rig, I’m thinking about posting an updated video. Do you think it’s worth while?
Your Prospector is fantastic. I am about to order the same color.

Lovely. Do you have the 20 degree or 30 degree sweep back persuaders?
Great question, I purchased the original persuaders. So the 30° ones!

One of my dream bikes. I ended up going with a Blacksheep. I’d love to see the prospector running 27.5x3.8

Great bike i own a Surly Troll & love it. If i had ur bike it would probably sleep in my room with me 😂
I’ve always been on the lookout for a Troll. But my Tumbleweed and Ogre do the trick!

Fantastic, what size is your frame ? Take care
It’s a medium! I’m 173cm tall and fits me like a glove :)

watching from asian ❤ super nice bikes ❤
Thanks for watching!
29+ ain’t dead 👊🏼
It just makes it a little harder to find tyres in Australia! Lots of 29x2.6 and 2.8 options!

Classy
Thanks bro!
