Are upgrades worth it on a budget Walmart mountain bike?
Last week, we built and rode the Mongoose Ardor, an all new 27.5" hardtail mountain bike from Walmart that retails for $300. I couldn't give a full recommendation because there were too many limiting factors to really assess the potential of the frame. Well this week, I'm going full insane mode and putting the best parts on this Mongoose to really unlock it's potential and to see if it's worthy of purchasing and upgrading.
