I have to add, today I just went for a quick ride and realized that a bunch of the rear wheel spokes were loose…so maybe I shouldn’t be jumping around on this bike so much! Check your spoke tension!

I had to rebuild my entire rear wheel. After 5 broken spokes I felt it was time. They are machine built wheels so some bad eggs are to be expected! Good review! I gotta do mine soon! Almost at a 1000 miles

Just watched this and you covered everything I’ve thought of and experienced! I think more comfort may come with a 650b setup which I went with. And I 100% agree with not having the fanciest components , just reliable ones and after I replaced the rear derailleur and cassette (I was having issues shifting) it hasn’t skipped a beat. However I did have quality control issues too and also the spoke tension is another issue and I do true wheels myself but definitely had to revisit them multiple times before they finally were at the proper tention and true.

Yeah the shifting leaves something to be desired. I don't like how easily you can shift into a higher gear while trying to brake. What did you upgrade to?

@@VentureMTBsorry for the delay but I wound up upgrading to the sram rival 1x rear derailleur and the sram pg1130 cassette with the same gearing and that perfected everything! Shifts flawlessly and no chain drops. At this point having it over a year I’ve gotten used to the shifters and like them, but definitely has its quirks and features like all brands.

Nice video! I received mine a few days ago and took my first ride on yesterday. I experienced the same issues with the acccidental shifts when braking and the front barkes being difficult to adjust. The overall shifting wasn't too bad but not the GRX I'm used to.

Thanks Terrell! I think my first upgrade may actually be wider handlebars because I noticed my road bike handlebars are actually wider! Then maybe some beefier tires...then if I still really enjoy it I think a drivetrain upgrade will be warranted. Enjoy the ride!

Definitely, the stock wheels are not particularly wide so I’m sure a 30mm tire would be fine

Is it impossible to build a STATE bike with cantilever brakes? Disc brakes fail in the winter .. for me.

I think it is impossible to run the 4130 with cantilever brakes, but maybe there are some other State Bike models out there that could accept them

@@VentureMTB I love CrMo bikes. The problem with disc brakes is that they use a very weak sheet metal V spring to spread the calipers apart, and that fails in cold+snow. I really love that people are making efforts to create quality bicycles. For whatever reason, a big push is being made to sell only competitive type bikes, but 99% need decent transportation. Not a sport bike. One problem I've had as someone that needs a new bicycle since the 90s is that it is very difficult to find all these tiny bike builders, and I also think they need to be more flexible with their offerings. They most all exclude men with long legs, inseams over 34in, they don't allow choices in crank lengths, never 200mm, chainring sizes, brake types, wheel types, derailleur typres, etc. They all try to force a one size single design on people.
