Upgrading and Riding My New Transition Spur All Country Bike

Recently I purchased an NX Build of the Transition Spur non UDH model. Transition recently updated the Transition Spur to allow UDH and therefore SRAM's Transmission drivetrain. It was a hefty price jump to go to that model, I already had a nice wheelset, carbon cranks, nice brakes, spare cassette, so decided to buy the NX build with the intentions of upgrading it. #bikingroots, #transitionbikes #transitionspur

So before I even rode it stock, wheelset came off, brakes came off, crankset, cassette, chain, shifter, grips, I think that was it. Since this video I also changed out the bars to some oneup carbon bars and an industry nine stem.

Shave about 2lbs off the bike which wasn't too bad. It would have been nice to get it a little lighter but without spending a lot on lighter carbon wheels, suspension, and cassette, this will be fine for now.

My first ride on the Spur was awesome! Riding a bike roughly 5lbs lighter than what you've been used to does make a difference. In addition the way that it puts the power down and its overall efficiency makes a big difference on our flat Houston trails.

While it felt light and fast, I felt like I could jump it (as much as I jump which isn't much) without fear of the frame breaking. I did bottom out once on one of the drops so I'll need to add some PSI to my rear shock before I ride here again but other than that, no complaints and can't wait to ride it again soon!

If you are local the Houston, come check out my Spur at our shop and throw a leg over it and take it for a spin! If you don't live in Houston but are still interested, head over to transition.com and order your Spur today!
