I have a super cheap bike that I use to commute. It sports tourney derailleurs and revoshift shifters (3×6 freewheel). I make around 5000 KM/year on it, for the past 3 years. So far the components behaved brilliantly. The shifters never failed and the derailleurs behave impeccably. I highly recommend it for the general purpose bike. And if it breaks , it’s amazingly cheap to replace. Thumbs up!
PS. Sometimes I also go up some pretty steep hills for fun. I find the the 3×6 setup to be enough.

After a while I had problems with my Tourney TX gears. I tested the components and they are fine. So, I put it down to cable replacement required.

i have tourney groupset on my Giant OCR. Shifting is very good on it. But I am still having problem in selecting the perfect gear. Sometimes when i am shifting while riding. My pedalling RPM goes so high that my foot slips from the pedal and i have to again go back to the previous one. Need a guide to select gear while riding. in which direction i have to go. Effective use of front and back gears.

haha my first groupset on my first bike 7speed w/ megarange, now im selling it. upgrade to 9 speed. more vids mate 🙂

I find shimano Tourney pretty badass, invest in a good quality chain to go with it

Nowadays this Tourney groupset can be found on Trek, Specialized, Giant and Cannondale. And these bikes are not really that cheap!
Bad Asson July 23, 2019 at 10:43 pm
I have just upgraded from 7 speed to 8 speed Crank, chain and cassette and shifter. The bike now climbs 5% faster!!
Andrew Unadiaon July 23, 2019 at 10:49 pm
I just built a bike and shimano tourney tx 800 is the groupset i just put on its and i think its perfect for commuting for work or making a trail ride and crosscountry stuff
Mauricio Anibalon July 23, 2019 at 10:51 pm
My first Mtb came with full shimano tourney components and i punished the lil bastards every time i could on the mountains for over a year, the feeling and the precision sucks but they do the job and are very durable as well…
fuku simaon July 23, 2019 at 10:54 pm
Great review! Just a question though..which part of the tourney grpupset is deemed to be not trail worthy? I was thinking of using the mechanical disk brakes but i dont want them falling apart when i hit some rougher tracks
Life presenteron July 23, 2019 at 10:55 pm
Tourney has always worked well for the money, but the thing that I dislike the most are the esthetics. I mean- the back deraileurs are ugly as hell, so is the cassete on the back. Cranks look fine but they really must redesign the back stuff.

Great video. I want to buy some cheap bike, but lot of rain and mud here in my area. are these group sets anti rust? or where anti rust components start? thanks

what about road tourney
eshnetoon July 23, 2019 at 11:04 pm
Shimano mechanical disc brakes suck. It is better to have those v-brakes instead.
David Perryon July 23, 2019 at 11:07 pm
Altus is better but, it’s just barely rated for rough terrain.
Dániel Horváthon July 23, 2019 at 11:10 pm
I’ve got a 100gpb bike a few years ago with tourney groupset. It does its job well on easy rides, but if you push the pedals hard while you need to change the gears often, after a time the shifting becomes cracky and you need retensioning the bowden or even sometimes resetting with the screws. So it does not fit for trips above 50 km with 30km/h average speed.
But the real joke is, that I’ve got a bike for 100 British pounds with this groupset on a hydroformed alloy frame with lifetime warranty, and now this groupset on cycles what are sometimes reach the 600 GBP price, so six times more expensive than my bike. I hate much bike industry.
Owen Chuaon July 23, 2019 at 11:10 pm
I have the Tourney TX groupset found on my folding bike
jonnyy40on July 23, 2019 at 11:14 pm
I have the tourney FC-M131 and wondered can I get a stages for it? I have a hybrid and can’t see the need for a road bike but love zwift so would buy a dumb trainer and use the stages for power/cadence (and rarer outside rides).
Bertie Woosteron July 23, 2019 at 11:14 pm
I have a 34t mega range on my bike, wish it was available many many years ago to save my knees

you still get £500 new trek bikes with tourney components its ridiculous
Speedy 86 boi [EUROBEAT INTENSIFIES]on July 23, 2019 at 11:17 pm
Did you guys know that when you used 2 goatlinks in the tourney derrailleur it can handle a 46t to 11t cassette?
1 eq 0 dot 99999 repeatingon July 23, 2019 at 11:18 pm
Seems 23 y. old 7sp MTB with worn out drivetrain will be OK even with Tourney TX cranks for non-critical riding. Or maybe Acera as it’s only eur10 more.
Jim Gilberton July 23, 2019 at 11:19 pm
My sister just got a bike with Tourney. The derailleur jockey wheels grind in the cassette. It is so cheap that it doesn’t even have a bolt to adjust it further away.
DR BHAVESH THACKERon July 23, 2019 at 11:22 pm
Dear Sir, I want to buy only road bike in hybrid segments, which gear system is good? Tourney OR Aultis???

Thanks for the video, please do more! I am looking to buy a cheap low end mtb to cycle with my gf, any recommendations?

wuhu this should be a great series, looking forward to your other videos, what I’m expecting the most this year is new shimano r3000, as a budget recreational rider I can’t afford more expensive groupsets and with this I can look more like pro
