My first new bike in 30yrs wow what a difference but now my family gripes when we trail ride and I'm gone they can't keep up and when on tar I felt like 2 rotations faster than them

My new Marin Kentfield 2 hybrid is equipped with this drivetrain. So far, so good. I not only like the range of gearing; I also like the jumps; they're like Goldilocks-just right!

175mm Cranks are a hold over from 26er geometry and work great for it, just not so much on more modern bikes.

If I dont put any spacer will it have again 110 mm or 120mm ?

They just tuiked the geo and made even better but there's almost no content on it. Not even in Marin's sites.

Is this set up still working out for you?

I'm looking for a cheap MTB to convert to a rigid, and the Bobcat could be it. I loved the video-I was riding a gravel bike in Forest Hill Park this morning. You think the Suntour is bumpy... Good job on the video.

Well, there two issues with using 5W motor oil instead of 5wt fork oil. Viscosity of fork oil is measured at 40 deg C, while viscosity of motor oil is measured at 100 deg C. Therefore 5W motor oil is way too thick for a fork, which requires 5W fork oil. Second issue is that fork oils contain anti foaming agents, motor oils do not.

Fab video, thank you. Tyre wise, I run a Rekon at the rear and Magic Mary at the front. For me in the UK slop this works perfectly and even in the mud on steep descents it grips like crazy and also climbs incredibly well. Without doubt my favourite rear tyre

Hi, how did you deal with the frame cap at the bottom bracket insert? I'm asking because I'm curious if it could be done without disconnecting the first cable housing. It may have been shown in the video, but I didn't notice it.

great straight to the point review. left a like for you

The Advent X has a V.2 version of the derailleur now and it's a big improvement. The 10 speed has a big advantage over 12sp since two less cogs means you can use a hardened steel cassette. I'm 6ft 225 LBS and I need a stronger cassette because I have broken alloy cassettes in the past.

My.rockshock yudy is 130mm and theres no spacers only the big rubber?

I bought talon 4 last year in just 2 months Someone stole it. 😅 Abu dhabi

But does it also work on the rockrider am 100 Judy Silver TK, which has 130mm of travel?

Agarro rear (paired with a Mazza up front) is a KILLER combo for a fast rolling trail tire combo.

Man, I can't get along with the 35mm stem. Ended up getting a 40mm stem that also has a rise.

Glad to see you again!❤ Keep it up❤

I'm still on my first bike, which iss a 2019 Talon 2 27.5 I got for Christmas 5 years ago. I've ridden the mess out of it and have done more than what it should be capable of so I might need to upgrade the fork and add a dropper post to it. I have already made the drive terrain a 1 by.

Update the poop loop is dry now I try to ride it once a week

I'd like to check out a DHR2 on the front, I've been using the DHF since 2003 and loved it so I never changed.

But seriously, is this all bikes are meant for? In many parts of the world, bikes are primarily used for transportation, even for carrying heavy cargo. Here in Boston, since the pandemic, I’ve seen more people using bikes to commute, and it’s a breath of fresh air. It’s especially great to see folks riding rental bikes home after concerts or big events, helping to reduce the crazy traffic that usually clogs up the streets in those situations. Now, I’m puzzled as to why this steel bike is being tested for downhill "racing." Just by looking at all the eyelets on it, it seems clear to me that it’s designed more for bikepacking or touring. Why not test it for those uses instead? There are plenty of us out here who are looking for solid, utilitarian bikes for practical purposes like commuting or long-distance touring, and testing it in those areas would be more useful.

Is it worth it?

Looking forward to the sword review!

Is this frame still in good shape after a few years u owned it? Thanks.

what is the Fork you used like can i have a link

I had a race here just yesterday! It's so fun to show my friends what I really do while im biking!

Oh No! You just created a RockFox, watch out for that mystical beast!

i will try dhr2 front with dissector on rear both 2.4 in the race...

Just added the advent x 10 speed on a mongoose dolomite alx with 1000w bafang brushless motor with aftermarket lekkie 42t bling ring. Easy to install and easy to adjust. I’m very happy with the results

I still got a Microshift acyolte as it simply shifts better and clutch is better design/performer than the advent/adventX. Still tempted to try a sword as its the improved advent/X style and its rebuildable.

These are Hormel eater units better off getting a used bike off craigslist your money will go further performance wise, don't rush into it yet don't overthink it, make sure to test ride first, the GT aggressor could carry a gas bag over a creek , the redline monocog 29er had flexy Cranks one snapped one winter

Hey man what's a good cra set for this setup? Thanks!

Nicole Crossroad

What's the frame's size? I saw somewhere that the medium was 34 lbs? Is that the large version?

That’s funny because I recently bent my Deore derailer almost the same way …it was on an old 07 Devinci moonracer ..just bought a new Specialized Sirrus X 2.0 with the microshift advent and I find the advent way more solid and accurate when it shifts it just seems more robust and works better.

Thanks for the followup. I have the Deore Advent setup on a gravel bike with Microshifts old drop bar shifters. Will be trying it with the Sword shifters soon!

If you left. Your fork off you can easily pull the cable through with your hand in the head tube

Check out the mostros as well

Thanks mate run Advent on two bikes and like it.Building up a new Bike and installing Advent X system this time atound.

who has these forks can you please confirm, if you hold front brake and try to move back and forth do you feel on right side something like plastic moving and making a bit of a knocking noise?

That helped me out a lot in making my decision. Thanks!

My GF's bike came with Rekon front and rear. The rear is worn and I told her to put the old front onto the back and get a new grippier front tyre. She is reluctant to get a chunkier tyre because she liked the Rekons so she is gonna try the Agarro on the front. Hopefully it's the right choice!

How big are your tires? The Raidon says max tire size 58 mm but my tires are 29x2.35.

Yep 3 min. Good. I'm thinking of one or 2 Victoria mazza

Modern Motor Oil will not ruin any kind of rubber or plastic seals because Modern Motors have plastic and rubber.

im planning to do a service to my recon, which hasnt been serviced in 3 years. it has 1000+ hours on it and never has been opened... so im rewatching this video again and again trying to know how to service the lower legs just so i can do it for the first time myself. Many thanks for helping:)

Hello friend, do you think it is possible to use the Raidon bottles in an Epixon? of course both 32mm

Great video and appreciate the insights on these technologies. Did you end up getting a Sword derailer to compare to the Advent X ver. 2 derailer for this configuration? I'm interested to see how these options stack up against each other for mountain biking and what you recommend.

I'm going to try one on the back.. i dont push the turns too hard..and although my aggressor that's on there now is wearing well i dont like the uphill traction ( also not the best braking) if at all loose or wet spots .. hoping this one does better climbing. Previously was running a high roller 2 out back but kinda draggy just felt like trying faster tires.
