Maybe even a better bar (slight riser) or a shorter stem. At 1.77m I’d think you’d be better suited to a medium frame. If it’s used you may need to spend a bit of cash getting it fixed up, but it’ll last far longer and be a much better ride.

I have been looking at high rise handlebars or bar risers to help with the riding position. Depending where you are there are Hubbers who deal in good quality second hand parts who could sort out any niggles you have on the Tyax for not much money.

I had one for awhile that I didn’t ride very much, turns out I hate riding in the snow anyway.
There is a low level shimano hydraulic disc brake kit that is SO NICE compared to the cable disc brakes. I did it to both of the maluses. He did a good video recently on some more budget parts (including hydraulic disc brakes) as well as he has been playing with a Walmart MTB recently. I bought 2 mongoose malus’ses. Got 2 for the wife and myself.
They are heavy but like it’s said above, more of a workout. Get special offers, exclusive product news, and mongoose fat bike event info straight to your inbox. FWIW I’d concentrate on the skills before you decide to pay them bills.
Click the microphone in the search bar to try again, or start typing your search term. So far, I’ve only ridden it around the driveway and already hate the terrible twist shifter. The stock seat/torture device was replaced with an XL wide seat before it was even assembled.
I’m a large 26 but can also do a medium depending on the geometry. My front chainring was also worn, but the source of the sound was the worn teeth on the cassette. Depending on the components that you have it can be expensive. I paid R3260 to replace the whole 2 x 10 Shimano drivetrain including the front and rear brake pads. Which sounds like a lot of money until you look at the price of a new SRAM GX cassette, lol.
The stock seat was very narrow and hard. That is the seat I bought to replace the stock torture device. The new seat is about 13.5″ inches wide and the horn is a lot shorter. It is a lot more comfortable. As far as I can tell, the Malus and Dolomite are essentially the same bike, just with different rims and colors.
