Come to think of it... I'm not sure I ever ran it with the 32 on it. I think my first rides were with a 34. I didn't have the suspension super dialed at that point anyway and then shortly after put a 36 tooth on. So the 36 was on before I really got the rear suspension dialed in anyway, so I wouldn't have known the difference or at least had it dialed enough to give a reliable comparison. I used the Shock Wiz to get it dialed in. Good question though! Would be interesting to have the Shock Wiz all set up, suspension dialed, then swap chainrings and see if Shock Wiz suggests changes.

@@maklinmedia I saw somewhere that they calibrated the anti squat specifically for a 32 that’s why I asked

Nothing/not much really... I don't use lock outs, even on my XC race setups. If bike comes with them, I remove them and clean up the clutter. Just don't see the need for them anymore with how good the suspension is on the bikes these days. I will use a Shock Wiz to dial in the shock settings though. Interestingly enough, I thought I would tighten down the compression damping a bit to kind of stiffen up the compression for gravel, but ended up opening it back up. I also did like the rebound backed off just a bit to handle all the quick washboard chatter without the shock packing up.

Thanks! It’s splendid on rough gravel, two-tracks, etc… and just good fun on singletrack!

LOL, mic works!

There are usually places to work out a pass throughout the course.

Awesome! It's a great platform. I think they did a good job of balancing the climbing ability of the rear and the playfulness/capability on the front end.

I'm 5"10 and was riding the medium. The medium was the closest fit out of the box for me. Maybe on the short side for effective top tube, but it has a generous stack and made for a relaxed fit. That said, I could make the medium or large work. The medium comes with a 100mm stem and the large with a 120. The large with a 100mm stem would work for me also, but has an even more generous stack. Hope that helps. Feel free to call our shop if you want to talk thru it. They are getting to be slim pickings, so can be a bit difficult to find one close to throw a leg over.

It's a good time racing bikes through the woods!

I need to post up my latest updates on the Townie. It has a different drivetrain, wheels, tires and bars on it now...

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback as well. I think you're right. Have a few future vids already processed, but think I'll shrink it down in future processing.

LOL

I live at 70 a truck bypass

That's awesome! Those trails are really fun. Glad we were able to check them out!

Cane Creek Hellbender. Been using this for quite a few of the PF30 shells. Seems to have worked out well. www.maklinbikeshop.com/product/cane-creek-hellbender-70-401837-1.htm

Awesome and congrats on your race! We really enjoy that race. Love the course and the venue is fantastic!

Everybody needs a Townie! I've got some more updates/mods to it that I need to post up...

Thanks! www.maklinbikeshop.com/

​​@@maklinmediaVery beautiful frame! When did you buy it there? What year is the frame?

Thanks Tim. We'll be riding that more this year. We enjoyed that trail. We'll get some more trail videos out as well this year. Good to see you the other day!

Love that the old bridge was repurposed into a bike and walking path!

Thanks! Yes, yes it does!
