Notabodder big maun, more than welcome

Definitely a first for me

Thanks 🤜

Notabodder hi keep batin those berms brutha

No idea what that is but cheers 👍

@@cleggycyclist Similar thing but for skateboarding. A news round up of skateboarding. I am in to this video tho keep it up :)

Thanks. I made so many mistakes on this, had to shoot it multiple times so very time consuming but I think it worked in the end. Keep tyre tapping those big pulls 🫣

Boredom will make an old man create stoopid stuff 🤣🤣🤣

@@cleggycyclist 🤣🤣🤣

Been there a few times, 6 weeks minimum I'm afraid if you done it properly

Cheers lad, our first time there so definitely didn't do it justice but good craic all the same

Some spot, if only it was an hour closer to home

@@cleggycyclist it was nice to see one of your videos up this way 🤘

Bit of a journey otherwise I'd venture up a bit more frequently, good riding spot

County Down. My email address is on my RUclips channel home page if you want an exact location 👍

It really does look so much less on camera than what it is on the trail

DW I've worked out exactly where you'e riding in Ireland. Looks like a cool spot!

A great spot, I'll be back

@@cleggycyclist If you like steep trails try Inverness. I was up there riding for the first time the other week. I have a full vlog of my visit releasing on the 11th of August

@StoneAgeProductionsAdventure I'd love to get over the pond to ride the tweed valley area but the ferry is extortionate

@@cleggycyclist Any puplic travel within the UK at the moment is ridiculous over priced, cheaper to go abroad 🙄

Cheers! Bit of crack was had and all down safe

An untalented amateur like me should know better than try to ride trails like that. But it was a fun day out, no one hurt and no bikes damaged

@@cleggycyclist you can't make progress if you don't try it! And you have progressed quite a bit 👍

Very frustrating sport at my age, then I see youngsters [with no bills 🤣] making it look easy

Many thanks 👍 I have made progress but still have too many days where I just can't ride, I'll just keep working at it. Thanks for tuning in

are the trails here easily enough to find?

Yeah sure are and they're on trailforks if you need extra help

@@cleggycyclistthanks!

Poor Danny 🤣 good drainage there, should be OK yet

Not publicly. But you can email me, email address is on my channel homepage

Thanks, glad you enjoyed

Definitely!

Aye pretty decent, although some of the drops and jumps I very quickly discovered I needed more air in both the shock and the forks. A few more rides on it and it will start to feel more like what I want from it. Mind you I was outside the comfort zone a fair bit yesterday

@@cleggycyclist sounds like it was a good testing ground for the bike!

yeah sure was, fair old drive up so wouldn't be running to it regularly but a lot of time has been put in to it by the trail builders and all credit to them its a good spot

@@cleggycyclist at least you got to try it after waiting so long. Will there be a video from there or is it one the trail builders prefer to be kept off the social channels?

There will indeed, but probably won't be out until about August as I've quite a few still to go public. Location won't be revealed but trail names might be if I can figure them out. You can insta DM me for the location if you want.

Agreed. I replaced the two piece bump stops with a one piece from Cycle solvers. A stiffer rear spring has helped a lot with pedal strikes from the low BB

@cleggycyclist I went 29 then back to mullet. I prefer the mullet...

What width rear did u go with when u went back to mullet?

Still using the original 2.8" 27.5 but when it wears out I'm going 2.6"

Yes sure did, dealer update only at the minute though I believe, but it sounds interesting

@@cleggycyclist Yes a trip the the local bike shop is necessary, but it looks like a great upgrade!

Hard to beat dry trails ❤️ somewhere new (to me tomorrow)

@@cleggycyclist good stuff, enjoy the new trails tomorrow 👍

Thanks, I've been meaning to go for 2yrs now

@@cleggycyclist hopefully it will be worth the wait!

Can anyone join you on an outing?

I already do use Strava

Marin Alpine Trail E2

Yes still mixed, most likely staying that way too 👍

Thanks mate 👍 I'd like to try the Trek it's so much lighter but I love the Marin that much that I can't ignore it

Thanks 😊 a fair bit of time goes in to it, sure I have to do something to make up for my lack of riding skills. But I'm improving there too thankfully

Short but so good

Cheers lad, dunno if it will get ridden much the Marin is class

@@cleggycyclist its lookin like i'm about to head down the ebike route myself tbh

Oooh interesting

Many thanks

Thanks 😊 if I'm running 29er then it's 2.4" but I'm currently back to mullet setup which is 29"x2.4" maxxis front and 27.5"x2.8" Maxxis rear. When these wear out I'll be switching to Continental tyres. The Maxxis are fine but I prefer the Continentals

@@cleggycyclist Thanks, keep up the good work. Its inspirational for this 50 year old !

52.5 here lol

@@cleggycyclist Derek, would you recommend Kryptotal Front and rear,with it's enduro casing and soft compound ? I've heard of a local rider using Argotal Front with Kryptotal rea .....

@@user-wu5fu2nc8s I have an argotal DH casing, soft compound on the front and I have a front kryptotal enduro casing, soft compound on the rear on my 29er wheels. Both have been great. If it's a normal bike you're talking about [and you ride Tolly etc] then yeah go enduro casing soft compound. ebike I'd be inclined to stick with the DH casing I think. Ask me in a years time and it might be different. Krypto's front and rear would be great I'm sure - thats their all rounder tyre. I'd go for the lighter trail casing if you only ride the hardpack trail centre trails like Castlewellan reds and blacks

Thanks ✌️great bike

@@cleggycyclist wow I've never gotten a like from a RUclipsr thanks

@@Wuilian440 you're welcome! Plenty more videos to come

Yes lad, kudos to the trail builder.

Thanks 😊

Rostrevor

Yes great bit of trail building. As far as I know the trail builder does not want the location named publicly, but the trails are on Trailforks if you're curious.

Yeah just a lack of commitment to steer back on line really, but we live to fight again. Hope you're on the mend now?

@@cleggycyclist yeah all pretty good now cheers, just trying to build a bit of confidence back but taking my time lol heading local tomorrow. can't wait as it's bone dry at the minute ;)

Lucky man, I'm working.

Love ya brother lol

Probably the one and only time Hugh 😆

Straight away I thought it was better as a 29er. That said I am now currently testing it again as a mullet. Both have their benefits, not sure which one I will stick with. I suspect long term I'll stick with 29er but yeah I'm currently back to mullet setup for a week or two to help me decide

Thanks for the feedback. I am a tall guy on the xl model so I think 29er is the way to go for me. Curious to see how you feel going back to mullet. Look forward to your next post. Thx.

I try to stick to a weekly release and I've about 6 videos uploaded as private, so the mullet ones will be another month or so away unless I bring them forward

I went back to a mullet last week and no pedal strikes. So maybe it wasn't the mullet at fault and more the fault of the wrong weight spring. Hopefully out again tomorrow still as a mullet

Hey cleggy. I have the XL with a 450 pound spring. I’m tall and weigh 300lbs. I’m thinking 550 pound spring. What are your thoughts, and can you tell the difference between the 450 and 550?

I have tried 450, 500, and 550 and all feel good over chatters roots and bumps, to me there's little difference in any of the three in terms of ride feel. The big difference though is ground clearance, the 450 for me definitely sits too low, could just be my sloppy riding technique as a raw amateur. Springs are relatively cheap and it doesn't take much time to swap a spring. If I were you I'd start with the 550 and see how you like it

@@MTBnGUNS At 300lbs I'd go with a 600+lb spring. My friend is 320lbs and sits at 35% sag with a 650lb spring as is looking for a 700lb.

@@cleggycyclist Well that makes sense with having the right spring weight/sag. I contacted a rep from Marin about the 2.8" rear tire sizing and they said that going to a smaller 2.5/2.6" rear tire may increase pedal strikes and slacken the head/seat angle slightly. It wasn't suggested sadly. A flip chip would have gone a long way to helping this issue.
