That's how all of us started. Welcome to the sport.

[NoodlesSoucy]

I’m about to do the same to mine. This helped me to ensure I have the right parts. Tysm I can’t wait to see the future updates

[pipswrx]

Great Video man, just ordered the 32T oval setup to change my GT to a 1x

[nyreppin]

If you're really trying to stay budget friendly but get great performance the Shimano CUES drivetrain is fantastic. You can use the 11 speed cassette from that. (U6000 or U8000). Either are fine. Just make sure you have the correct hub.

[Puzzle_Dust]

Very cool! I am considering doing this to my aggressor now!

[Tha_chrza_]

Awesome video looking to do it to mine but wasnt sure if i needed to change the rear gears/derailleur aswell

[Lagahz]

Nice video bro! I have recently just got me a GT Aggressor Sport as a entry level into trails and always wanted to see if I could only upgrade to a single from a 3 using the same chain and same cassette, you answered everything and now im going to follow suit lol keep up the good vids, all the way from NZ 🇳🇿

[NonLegitNation]

I don't know if you didn't film it but you might need to shorten the chain a few links since you aren't running the bigger chainring from the 3x.

Dude, I actually thought you were Mike Glover for a second and this was his bike channel. Yall favor a good bit. Great video, I'm doing the same setup on my Rockhopper sport 2022 so I'll follow for more info. Thanks!

[mrmunkos]

Mike, Great Video! I'm doing a similar upgrade to a 1x chainring. Hey, in the video when your chainwheel bolts were too short did you have to order the "double" size vs. the "single" size? I noticed on your amzn link, it defaults to "single" so I wanted to make sure I don't have to re-order. Appreciate your feedback Sir! Keep Riding!!!

[Kx]

I like your workaround for not splitting the chain 🤣 nice work man.

Next inexpensive upgrade is definitely a chain guide I think.

[robertrenaux]

@mikepopovici thank you. This is super helpful. This did not require you changing the crank? Or the cassette?

[bqoutdoors]

Very nice vid don’t listen to the haters. Get yourself a deore 10 or 11 speed cassette and derailer for the back now and have fun

[esan]

I'm on the same boat. Coming from road cycling, I have an entry level orbea mx 29 with a 2x. Was looking for upgrades, but will just ride this out to see if I will keep on riding. At that point, decide if it's worth spending $ on this, or get a new one that has all of it for around $1, 500

[christyavarachen]

Hey, I got the same bike, I am trying to upgrade my tires from 2.1 to 2.4. Do you know whether it would fit

[Markozzy]

looks good well done on the change to a 1x setup

[Realwademasters]

Great video but honestly you should have put more time on the crank and sprockets . Doing a switch to 1 sprocket setups you really don’t benefit from unless your doing a lot of dirt racing or jumping . For the fact of having to change your shifter aswell atleast run a 12 with a 32 front sprocket so you have a good all around use.

[JonatanKapps]

Nice video! Have you changed the back gears too? Usually bikers use 1x12 gears

[Samantha-tvdz]

this guys underrated - needs more subs!

[PaulWight-bc]

Really like the color scheme on your gt
