I’ll buy some chain lube and a brush/soap to clean the gears and chain with.
And I gotta figure out if the brakes are good once I test it, I guess. They said that it has disk brakes, and the only thing I know w/r/t brakes are that the ones I has as a kid on my walmart Mongoose Special were shitty rim ones. These aren’t that, so I have faith! Hopefully they turn out ok.
They also fit it at the store when it’s finished apparently, so that -should- be okay as far as comfort goes. What tires do you recommend for a mix of pavement and gravel? I don’t plan to do any actual downhill mountain biking on it, let’s be fair, I just wanted something cross country-able and durable so travel is worry-free.
As far as tools go I bought a crankbrothers m17, air pump, pliers and a repair kit. If I need anything else to keep this thing running on my own for at least a year or two, LMK.
I will also put a phone reminder on for the 50/200 thing. Thanks m8

Don’t really care to flex wealth I don’t have but I will take your advice about cranks if my knees start aching. But I don’t know if the ache is because of shit cranks or just me being new and out of shape. How do you tell?

What’s your problem? But to answer your question, I think almost every other youtube video when searching “mtb” or “hardtail” or somesuch is talking about upgrades. So, when I think new bicycle I think, I probably need to put more money into random shit like PNW Dropper Post or Erconomy Grips or something to make it good and not walmart-tier. That’s why.
W/R/T other stuff, I will go ahead and wait till something breaks instead of just going full UPGRADES PEOPLE UPGRADES right out of the box, that does make sense
