How to modify your Surron 2.97x cheaper than your friends

so you bought a surron it's the best purchase you've ever made you've made some basic upgrades to it right you're loving the bike you're riding it every single day but obviously you want to take it to the next level you want the fox 40s you want the big brakes you want all of the trendy mods that all of the cool Surron guys have you're excited you hop online you go find the parts [Music] it is uh absurdly expensive to upgrade a serum unless it's not [Music] okay this is it this is a secret you just buy a used mountain bike with all the parts that you want and then you put it on the Sur ron but it's not quite that simple not every part is gonna fit on your Surron not all Fox 40s are gonna fit on your Surron so in this video I'm going to cover every single thing I've learned how much I spent on the bike how I found a good deal which parts fit and which parts don't and by the end of this video I'm gonna try to take it one step further and I'm gonna try to sell everything that I don't use from this bike and see if I can upgrade my Sur ron with all of these cool parts for free maybe we'll see I don't know yet [Music] I got everything taken off the fox 40s some Avid code breaks and then I'm also going to use a direct Mount stem the rest of this stuff I think I'm gonna sell and I'm hoping that all of this can make up the amount that I initially spent so to answer the big burning question how much did all of this cost I spent a grand total a thousand dollars a thousand dollars is just like a ton of money but when you consider that a used pair of fox 40s go for over a thousand dollars right now the fork alone makes this entire thing worth it also the previous owner of all of these parts gave me the stock Fork that came on the bike as well not only that the owner also gave me a complete 2002 Kona stinky I don't know why but the Kona stinky was always my dream bike as a kid that bike I'm keeping I'm not selling it that bike is priceless I'm going to list this all on Facebook Marketplace and on Craigslist and see how much money I can make back and I'll tell you about that at the end of the video but first let's get the forks and the brakes and the brand new stem on the surron [Music] thank you okay low gang the parts are on the bike I think it looks sick unfortunately you can't just kind of go out and buy any mountain bike there are just a couple specific things you got to look out for okay first I want to talk about brakes okay you're looking for four piston brakes a lot of bikes especially older downhill bikes have two piston brakes those probably aren't actually going to be an upgrade over your stocks are on breaks uh basically any direct Mount stem is going to work you probably don't need to worry about it the only thing to look out for is a lot of mountain bikes have a zero rise stem so it actually hangs down the front a little bit I have a couple spacers from Emoto Bros just to help out with that and raise the bars up a little bit but if you can try to find one with like a little bit of Rise so at least it's completely flat on the bottom I hope that makes sense okay last but not least Fox 40s if you're looking for a used bike uh with Fox 40s on them look for one with 26 inch float 40s the 26 inch version versus a 27.5 they're basically the same the 26s will just be cheaper also You're Gonna Want a float 40 which is the airsprung version e even if you're a super Light Rider you're probably going to bottom out the coil ones the float 40s you can just pump more air into them also they're lighter and a little bit easier to find parts for if you get a fox 40 from after 2021 you're gonna need a five millimeter spacer and also you're gonna need a drop Crown up top for Maurice racing I brought you in for a close-up on this part because it's the most important part the head tube on a Surron is longer than basically any modern mountain bikes head tube so you need to make sure this steerer tube the thing that's you know in here that needs to be 170 millimeters or longer now that we've covered all that and you have all the information you'll ever need I think it's time to do the fun part and go take this stuff for a test ride let's do it baby I just thought [Music] it is let's see how these box 40s do it okay you should probably not be here alone [Music] the boys are all here what's up guys how's it going good to see you yeah how are you hey how often do people call you Logan Paul thanks man I got them all dirty at The Colonnade just now but dude that's beefy you have uh already put a good dent in it it seems nice okay how's it going I made it Ruben said he's not making it tonight he just said he'd be here in 20 minutes he did I don't know what's going on he said 7 47 one minute ago he said not making it not making it that's what he said all right foreign [Music] [Music] it's a float but it's an older one yeah yeah hey man what's good thank you man video right now where I just break down an old mountain bike see how cheaply I can get a fox 40 basically the bike was a thousand I sold like 500 so far come on dude [Music] holy [ __ ] [Music] okay everything has sold on Facebook Marketplace here's what we made back seat and dropper Post 100 frame bottom bracket and derailleur because I was too lazy to take it apart that sold for 350 wheels and tires 100 and lastly the fork 200 bucks that brings us to a grand total of seven hundred and fifty dollars I am sorry I didn't do this for free but 250 bucks for Fox 40s big breaks and like bars and a stem that is a lot cheaper than like two thousand dollars it's actually eight times cheaper I did the math if you are going to build your Surron in this way set every single Facebook Marketplace notification that you possibly can things like Fox 40 downhill mountain bike downhill Fork just anything you can think of the secret that I found to getting a good deal on Facebook Marketplace is just to be the first person to message them and be the first person to actually show up with money I hope this video saves you some money big video next week I'll see you then low gang
