Love it. Been my dropper on my single speed trek 29er here in Chattanoogafor 3 years. Never failed. Simple and clean.. Easy to port over to other bikes. Like my cable one on my poseidon, but the no maintainence is golden.
You guys made out like bandits on the mail time. I like that water bottle fanny pack! I don’t have a water bottle cage on my bike, I typically use a sling bag for that. But the fanny pack is sweet! Have a great weekend!
Man YES WE DID! I was just admiring your mail right now lol. Thanks for that and the fanny pack is Sweeeeet! Cannot wait wait use it, much love William.
The slx brakes are nice. I have the XTs on my Santa Cruz. For water. You gotta get a bunch of Fidlock mounts and you can get adapters and use any bottle on them. The absolute best system
Cody D! Man gotta check those out, as for the fanny pack man, that thing is all imma need for a while!! LOL Awesome Mailtime and some really good stuff there, thanks Cody D! See you on the Patreon brother, Gummy just got done!!!
Great to hear, it seems nice quality but I am curious the lifespan. Also Wes thank thank for the mail and representing!! Cannot wait to see were they go🤘 much love Wes
You guys have so much great content, some of it is very funny and charming, but most of all everything comes across as deeply honest, from the way you interact with each other, the learning curve you are going through and the reviews of these budget products. You’ve inspired me to build up my own trail hardtail in as much a Wolftick style as possible. Hopefully it will all work out ok 👌. When I’m done I must send you guys some goodies to play with.
I don't know about that dropper post, either way it's going to look like you're digging at your underwear when reaching for the lever. Awesome mailtime, the oil slick parts would look awesome on the Marin. Keep shredding 🤙
🤣🤣🤣 I ain't worried!! I've doene much worse on the trails lol, oil slick looks sweet indeed. Just wait till you see GUMMY WORM!!! Peacout BERSERKER!! SEE YOU SOON
Yeah I totally agree with you in regards to this lever style dropper. I messaged you a while ago about this style dropper. The one I have is the KS EXA Form Speed up dropper. It a very easy install, but take getting used to have to reach between your legs while riding. It will work as long as your familiar with the trail an know when you'll need to drop your saddle like the cats meow.
13:31 Jagwire has excellent wires and cables. The cheap wires do well but not as slick, but the Pro wire is slick, and does not have a silly bad coating as Shimano XTR has, that's so bad it performs worse than any cheapnwire as the coating adds friction once it wears and it wears out in first ride. I have used the brake housing and wire too. They performed well. So they get the seal of approval from me.
The seat post is cool that’s something we can sell in the bike shop . There are so many that need one but don’t want to pay 300 plus an install . A lot of bikes won’t accept internal routed droppers so this is perfect for bikes under 1,000.. it will be an epic add on just like a seat with a hole in the middle. We work off commission and If we sell 3 accessories we get 3 bucks , 5 accessories 5 bucks . This reminds me I gotta add those up it’s been since September.
Well get to work!! But so glad you decided to take a break on some WOLFTICK VIDEOS! Always a good time over here, hope yall are enjoying Patreon too, got a new one coming out tonight!! GUMMY WORM IS DONE!!!!! 🪱 NOW ORDER SOME BACKWARDS DROPPERS!!
Yeah when I owned a cannondale trail 8 it was a medium I had to cut off a good inch and half on the tube to lower the seat I still ended up buying a polygon premier 5 it fit better
I like that dropper. Been wanting one for my gravel bike and it doesn't have internal routing, and really didn't want to run another cable anyways. Might be good option for me!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I just have to decide if I want to get rid of my carbon post and put more weight on the bike. Never had a dropper so not sure if I would use it much
16:00 I think bottles should have a cover to avoid poop, dirt on the mouth peice. If using bottle make sure to have a good cage, I had cages bend out and bottle shoot out on a downhill. I bent it back. But I no longer use bottles on my bike.
biggest upgrade for the marin for sure and also the most needed i'd say ! heck yea some slx ! love those brakes ! timing and all i feel like mr bean sent that acolyte for the kent :D
Why not an externally actuated post instead of under saddle lever? There are plenty out there. Taking hand under saddle is awkward. For a dir tjump build it might make sense, but on a regular bike I would have one with a remote.
I like the idea of the dropper, but I think I'd prefer to keep my hands on the bars when out riding. Also, what happens if you pull the wrong thing.... There'd be some grabbing of packages then 😂😂😂 The opener and the conversation about the lever really makes me think Jeremiah is just a grown up version of Jacob... In our house we call it "no listening ears" 😂😂😂 Mail time was great as always, looking forward to seeing how the review goes of the dropper.... Mind those gentlemen vegetables 😂😂😂 Take care guys 😎🍻👍
No listening ears!!! I've always got them on!! LOL And as for the dropper, that's a good point Dan. Now Brandi and Kevin did say for my style it would be best, up then down!! Tell Jacob he has got a big brother who is just like him in the US and someday we will meet😉 Mich love Dan, see you soon brother
Hell yeah!!! We looked don't worry!! Thanks for all of it man, the housing is sweet and Def gotta go on a blue bike!! Also the shifter, that may be interesting to try on a different 8spd groupset. Thank you More Bean's, we love the support all this time.
Jeremiah talking about having a lockout and dropper lever reminded me of the scott spark 940 which has a triple lever setup for dual lockouts and a dropper post lol
Y'know... it wouldn't take much to put a morse cable under the seat and make that TranzX both lever AND remote capable. clamp the cable end on the front rails of the seat and throw a small lever on the bar like a ZTTO with the less friction wheel design. Just drill the lever with a cable size hole right through.. and a cable end size drill from the bottom half way through if you want to keep it tidy. What I want... is a double stage dropper so I can get 150mm travel out of a 180mm frame tube with max height of the top slider of 370mm... I need to do some drawing... (currently I've got a Zoom Tequila that seems to be the best choice for 100mm travel while having the shortest body.... (I've got a Giant Faith 2010 and the Zoom dropper is bottomed out on the linkage bolt...)
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS It wouldn't be hard for a few of these droppers to be designed for lever and morse. Just like the from derailleurs often have top and bottom cable capability. The math isn't good for a 150mm for me... I might see if I can get an office chair with 150 travel and make an elbow under the crotch to keep the seat facing forward... but in reality I'll just be stuck with 100mm. Maybe I'll cut into the tequila and see if I can squeeze another 10mm out of it.. but it's fairly slammed to the deck already so extra travel doesn't really help.... (I think optimum seat up height for me is about 10mm off the pivot but the advantage of the 10mm lower seat on downhill seems more of an advantage to me. The TranzX actually looks like it may be shorter in the lower body meaning an all over lower seat height. (I could always raise the dropper in the frame for uphill and run the lower position for up/down action in the DH's
#wolfticknation you guys are the real MVP Fantastic mail time I can’t wait for the installation and real-time review on the Shimano breaks and he had a #wolfticknation shirt for every occasion 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 . That Fanny pack and water bottle combo was DOPE 🔥🔥🔥. Now that dropper something about taking my hands off the bars to lower the seat or maybe I’m overthinking it, I can’t wait for the real time review. Guys can’t wait for the next one 💪🏾❤️💯
Man qhatva comment, always so positive. Thanks for all that brother, the fanny pack is dope indeed and man, good thinking with the dropper. I could see that, peacout and much love 👍 aloha
I know you don’t make recommendations but giving the state of bikes and what not currently, do you think buying a Schwinn Al comp from Walmart today for a beginner to work on modifying while just getting in to trail riding. Loving all the videos and everything I see of the sport, just need a budget entry point to keep the wife happy lol
Hey brother, thank you for the comment. That is very cool you enjoy that much, now regarding the bike desicion...I think you should shoot for the comp, it's a solid bike that is available and affordable. It has great potential, also they do offer a pretty sweet female comp for the WIFE!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS thanks for the reply, That’s genius, I forgot all about the womens comp, and the store the next town over has both in stock so that works out good. Was nervous about my choice. Didn’t wanna commit to buying something and then find out, that just a few days or weeks later the next champ in budget bikes get released. However with the Trouvaille bait and switch scheme I’m comfortable that it won’t be the case lol. Speaking of, one of our stores has 1 Trouvaile, they don’t even have it on the shelf, it’s sitting in the back room in the same condition as the one you have. The assembler let me look at it but said he wasn’t comfortable selling it and pointed out all the same things you did. To be honest I’m pretty sure he was a fellow viewer.
I am with your dad I like the dropper does it fit the ledge X1! Those delium tires are the best go check them out on line I have those same tires they work awesome! Got two more bike action vids up too! Nice video good mail time!
First you can't stop grabbing your lever then you go grabbing your package;) Cool dropper. Especially for someone like me without internal routing. I'm not sure about using the lever on the fly the way you ride but for someone like me (going slower and not needing immediate reaction time) it's pretty good placement, even if a little socially embarrassing. You guys definitely got tired in that mailtime. (OK if you groan at that one;) Embrace the CamelBak. If you don't like bottles they are the king of hydration packs too. Awesome company and love their moto from way back: hydrate or die.
🤣🤣🤣 Def gott grab the right places!!! LOL Thanks for the comment and good point, maybe for a slower rider it will he the way. Also for me it's great, I can really use to go uphill then down👍👍👍👊
On a technical course, even on XC, wouldn’t it be preferable to not be taking your hand off the handle bars, while your body makes abrupt changes to your riding position and the bike is bobbing on rough terrain, down a steep slope, braking , or something else difficult? I see the dropper as a technical tool and not a convenience feature component.. I would spend $119 somewhere else on the bike.. Perhaps even pay a handyman that money to router slots in my bike to accommodate a dropper post with cable.. 😂
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Seen several Facebook posts about it, but first I saw was Evans MTB Saga's vid on it. I've never snapped any brake levers, I had Shimano M615, M396, M6000, I had other failures on them, but never snapped a lever, on the M615I bent the lever a lot, I had to use pliers to bend it back. A hard side impact is what will bend a lever blade, but the new SLX seem to fail too easily. the M615, M6000, and the old and new SLX brakes have a lever that is meant to bend on up and down impact, that's the reason for the lever getting narrower. M396 did not.
I saw that dropper on Amazon. Don't think I want to let go of the handlebars to release each time its used. Im in the market for a budget dropper but haven't pulled the trigger yet. What's your recommendation?
That's funny man, I can see why you would not lol. I think it is perfect for me and my riding. Not xc just up then down....Now I like the Tranz X droppers, they are fast and the one we have on the comp works well and is smooth👍
I was just looking at this dropper but had the same concern about the bolt holes on my Cannondale as well. Thanks for the review. The real question is what happened to yesterdays video!?
It was meant to be temporary since we aren't really that kind of channel. I wanted to move on and get back to giving fair and honest feedback on how we feel about the bike for what it is and not distract people from that. We pride ourselves in being unbiased and I'm not sure new viewers would get that feeling from that rant🤣. We have a road trip planned to exchange the Kent and hopefully get one that we can test/review. We might include this explanation in that episode, not sure if it will make the cut though, we'll see how it comes out. If you enjoyed that rant, what would you think about a possible monthly podcast style video were we talk about the world of budget biking and related stuff?
I yelled from the other room the lever goes in the back , why would it not!! Then the correct way was front , I told j why is my brain still thinking it goes in the back & it’s irritating me ! He said bc your brain 🧠 thinks like his does! My brain is accepting it slowly !
🤣🤣🤣 Mine is too!!! We are both very backwards!! LOL Love that we think alike, J called it the first time we were around each other. Hey and don't tell anyone, imma totally flip it towards the back shshshshhhhhhhhh!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS way cool, taking 2 customers to Mt Nebo tomorrow. I have to say friends , that get mad when I say customers .. we don’t wake early .. prob 1 1 hr till we reach our destination Y’all fb message us if y’all wanna join
You did call me out when you got you post in the Mailtime. It's odd you remembered that far back that i was looking for a dropper and mentioned this one. My KS is an external cable neatly tucked on the side of it with a little help from Gorilla Tape because it spit it's insides out and the clip got lost. Lol
We thought this dropper would be easy to put on non-dropper bikes so you don't have to stop at the top of DH runs or we hear about the saddle "all up in your junk" 🤣
Totally, yall nailed it!! We were just talking about how perfect it will be for my style of riding, uphill then down!! No up and down and up and down 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much, it's gonna be epic.
🤣🤣🤣 Man it just might!! Now the bike continues to hang up in the rafters. It will be brought out sooner ot later when we find a kid who can come across good on camera and give a Realtime Review!! 👊👊👊
I would say for racing or a ton of XC you are probably right, but for our trails we will soon see. As far as rip-off goes, that's not for us to decide, that's for y'all as individuals to decide.
I want to see the Tick ride Cheech with the dropper post backwards, gonna look like you're picking your butt 🤣. I agree, a clean cockpit is the way to go. The nation hooked you up via mailtime again! Oh yeah, Wolfman, you can use Cheech's old seat post as a club to keep Tick on track. 🦥
Hey hey hey, cmon Sloth, I thought you were my boy!?!?! Ha ha it's it's good, love the entertaining comments man. Also the nation hooked us THE HELL UP!! See you soon brother, thanks for everything man.
I'm building an ebike and that is the kind of dropper i am using. because ll mostly be on road dropping the post is a performance/comfort feature. up for performance, down for comfort.
I was yelling at my phone saying "you put the seat on backwards!" Repeatedly!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 ALWAYS BE YOUR OWN CAPTAIN!!
Love it. Been my dropper on my single speed trek 29er here in Chattanoogafor 3 years. Never failed. Simple and clean.. Easy to port over to other bikes. Like my cable one on my poseidon, but the no maintainence is golden.

VERY happy to see Wolfman smiling again. I knew the Kent rage wouldn't last...
I'm all good now😆. I look forward to us getting a working bike so we can give it a fair Realtime Review.👍
I need to get into the dropper post world soon. I also need to learn how to ride.
Let's get the riding out of the way FIRST!! LOL 😆
Find something you suck at and try it until you get good at it .
I have an X-Fusion Manic dropper 150 mm infinite travel cable actuated post on my Stumpjumper.... LOVE DROPPERS!
MAN DROPPERS ARE DOPE!!!
I'm a fan of that post. Can't wait for you to tell us how you like it

Sounds great man, I like the lever design. Very sleek and aggressive feeling. Hope they are 1 fingers ☝️lol
Very good upload
SIR YES SIR!
The slx brakes are nice. I have the XTs on my Santa Cruz.
For water. You gotta get a bunch of Fidlock mounts and you can get adapters and use any bottle on them. The absolute best system

@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS yesss. Maybe I'll send yall something here soon for my new favorite ride of yalls.... the CHEECH
If the dropper feels crunchy you guys might have tightened the seat clamp a bit too much
Maybe but it is at 4nm....so I doubt it
That’s a great idea for a dropper. Much better than having to jack with cabling, etc. I like!
For the majority of trails that we ride here, we are thinking it should work out pretty good for us. Hopefully we will find out soon.
My son has one of those droppers on his Polygon D5 and has never had a problem with it. Great video as usual guys!

13:31 Jagwire has excellent wires and cables.
The cheap wires do well but not as slick, but the Pro wire is slick, and does not have a silly bad coating as Shimano XTR has, that's so bad it performs worse than any cheapnwire as the coating adds friction once it wears and it wears out in first ride.
I have used the brake housing and wire too. They performed well.
So they get the seal of approval from me.
So happy they get your seal of approval! I love this jagwire stuff👍👍👍

I see the dropper as a technical tool and not a convenience feature component.. I would spend $119 somewhere else on the bike.. Perhaps even pay a handyman that money to router slots in my bike to accommodate a dropper post with cable.. 😂
🤣🤣🤣 Your a mess man! Lol But it would be nice for my style, uphill then down, not too much int he middle 👊
15:14 the new SLX brakes have bad rep now, due to the lever blade snapping easily.
Oh God that scares me!! Lol
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Seen several Facebook posts about it, but first I saw was Evans MTB Saga's vid on it. I've never snapped any brake levers, I had Shimano M615, M396, M6000, I had other failures on them, but never snapped a lever, on the M615I bent the lever a lot, I had to use pliers to bend it back. A hard side impact is what will bend a lever blade, but the new SLX seem to fail too easily. the M615, M6000, and the old and new SLX brakes have a lever that is meant to bend on up and down impact, that's the reason for the lever getting narrower. M396 did not.
I saw that dropper on Amazon. Don't think I want to let go of the handlebars to release each time its used. Im in the market for a budget dropper but haven't pulled the trigger yet. What's your recommendation?
That's funny man, I can see why you would not lol. I think it is perfect for me and my riding. Not xc just up then down....Now I like the Tranz X droppers, they are fast and the one we have on the comp works well and is smooth👍
That was a good mailtime haul! Good job #wolfticknation
Hell yeah it was man, such a great MAILTIME!! #WOLFTICKNATION BABY!! WOOP WOOP!!!!
I was just looking at this dropper but had the same concern about the bolt holes on my Cannondale as well. Thanks for the review. The real question is what happened to yesterdays video!?
It was meant to be temporary since we aren't really that kind of channel. I wanted to move on and get back to giving fair and honest feedback on how we feel about the bike for what it is and not distract people from that. We pride ourselves in being unbiased and I'm not sure new viewers would get that feeling from that rant🤣.
We have a road trip planned to exchange the Kent and hopefully get one that we can test/review. We might include this explanation in that episode, not sure if it will make the cut though, we'll see how it comes out. If you enjoyed that rant, what would you think about a possible monthly podcast style video were we talk about the world of budget biking and related stuff?
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS I like this idea 👍
It goes in the front
goes in the front
Yeah! I've gathered that!!!!!
I yelled from the other room the lever goes in the back , why would it not!! Then the correct way was front , I told j why is my brain still thinking it goes in the back & it’s irritating me ! He said bc your brain 🧠 thinks like his does! My brain is accepting it slowly !
🤣🤣🤣 Mine is too!!! We are both very backwards!! LOL Love that we think alike, J called it the first time we were around each other. Hey and don't tell anyone, imma totally flip it towards the back shshshshhhhhhhhh!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS way cool, taking 2 customers to Mt Nebo tomorrow. I have to say friends , that get mad when I say customers .. we don’t wake early .. prob 1
1 hr till we reach our destination
Y’all fb message us if y’all wanna join
you can finally say you got a wireless dropper for less
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Damn good point!! It's wireless for sure!!
I have one - it’s smooth as butter on a woman’s bottom
Wow! Now that's an image I can't get out of my mind🤭😆👍
Too bad they don't make them on 31.6.
Really? That's a bummer 😕
What do you think on the giant talon 4
Not a bad ride, saw one on the trails recently. Looks to be pretty similar to the axum dp
I still like my KS. Lol.
Nothing wrong with a KS!!
You did call me out when you got you post in the Mailtime. It's odd you remembered that far back that i was looking for a dropper and mentioned this one. My KS is an external cable neatly tucked on the side of it with a little help from Gorilla Tape because it spit it's insides out and the clip got lost. Lol
Hey mate I'm 5'5 too do you think a 100mm is big enough for us? I don't want one that goes too big simply for the waste of money
Hey brother I think 100 is big enough. You have a little room to when installing into the post, you'll be alright 👍
I’d just like to have my seat post tight enough to stay *PUT!*
🙏
We thought this dropper would be easy to put on non-dropper bikes so you don't have to stop at the top of DH runs or we hear about the saddle "all up in your junk" 🤣
Totally, yall nailed it!! We were just talking about how perfect it will be for my style of riding, uphill then down!! No up and down and up and down 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much, it's gonna be epic.
I dont think I'd pay 119 for a dropper without a remote but I have thought about getting a similar one for my gt
I've got ya, but it does do the same thing 👍
🏆🔥💪 Great sharing!!! new subbed here! stay connected👍
Thank you so much brother, appreciate that very much. See you on the NEXT!!
Yeah they much uncomfortable to use and mine quit working in less than a year! ..
Really??
Dude, so so many comments I had, just gonna keep them to myself, lol
You do that! Hey brother congrats on 2000!!!!!
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS thanks man, I appreciate it
Will that seat post Fit the mongoose ardor
Yes, it should fit perfectly👍 The Ardor is a 27.2 seat tube.
Ok thank you so much
What we really all want to know: Will this fit the 20” ozone 500 kids bike???
Hahaha, I’m probably the only one actually. Whatever happened to it?
🤣🤣🤣 Man it just might!! Now the bike continues to hang up in the rafters. It will be brought out sooner ot later when we find a kid who can come across good on camera and give a Realtime Review!! 👊👊👊
A remote is a must for more agressive riding. Plus the PNW branding rip-off is off putting
I would say for racing or a ton of XC you are probably right, but for our trails we will soon see. As far as rip-off goes, that's not for us to decide, that's for y'all as individuals to decide.
Umm prolly not first
🏆🥇👍
I want to see the Tick ride Cheech with the dropper post backwards, gonna look like you're picking your butt 🤣. I agree, a clean cockpit is the way to go. The nation hooked you up via mailtime again! Oh yeah, Wolfman, you can use Cheech's old seat post as a club to keep Tick on track. 🦥
Hey hey hey, cmon Sloth, I thought you were my boy!?!?! Ha ha it's it's good, love the entertaining comments man. Also the nation hooked us THE HELL UP!! See you soon brother, thanks for everything man.
@@WOLFTICKVIDEOS Lol, yeah I'm your boy! I appreciate the entertaining videos you guys keep putting out!
I'm building an ebike and that is the kind of dropper i am using. because ll mostly be on road dropping the post is a performance/comfort feature. up for performance, down for comfort.
