Is yours mullet or 27.5 front? The two is significantly different depending on the front wheel. I found X-Low to be best for me with 27.5 on the front, but I switched to mullet at the end of this past season and it definitely needs Low with the 29” front in my opinion. Thanks for watching 🤘🏼

​@PunkUncleShow I have a wreckoning ls, and its in low. Not xlow, it just would not be worth it to me, as I climb alot in WA PNW I tested the insurgent and it climbed noticeably worse to me and I was going to get one the wreckoning ls eneded up being my new bike and in low I love it not see any places I'd need xlow other then park laps. Or possibility shuttle laps me, being a rider who favors trail pace low is great and will probably never be changed. Xlow is good that little slack is nice for plowing and Chuck but the fact I pedal ofent 2-4 miles a ride I can see that being worth the trade off on better dh

Makes sense. The Insurgent has always been my second bike, for shuttling or fire road climbs to DH trails. If there’s much singletrack climbing, the Following has been the daily driver and more of the main bike. Since moving to Oregon, I’ve found that my Cali setup of essentially winter bike & summer bike doesn’t translate perfectly here. I got a new Hightower this summer and that does 90% of the work. Now I can dial the Insurgent in for the specific stuff I ride it on here. Good talking bikes with you! 🤘🏼

@@PunkUncleShow good bikes! All of them the insurgent can become a all rounder with a 28t chainring and some chainstay protection

🤘🏼thank you and thanks for watching 🤘🏼

Nice, I’m hoping to make another Oakridge trip before winter. I’d love to hit Lawler, heard many good things.

Visit southgatetrails.org to get the details. Thanks for watching

Rad!! Thanks for the support 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

😁 thanks!

I lived in central California at the time, bought the van at the Ram dealership in Watsonville. They we’re getting them in equipped that way in the summer of 21. I had seen it first at the dealership in Turlock, but they were already spoken for. Then came across the same setup over near the coast and was able to grab her.

I’ve seen it done, but yeah, tricky for sure.

🙏🏼👊🏼🤘🏼

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and good luck with that decision!

No nothing that high tech just my backyard. Thanks for watching 🤘🏼

Nice! Thanks for watching.

@@PunkUncleShow "cheap" now because of black friday also. i'm pretty sure they don't normally discount these too much, but for about $200 now I can get an external along with a loam lever and cables. Was going to get a dropper anyway for my new bike (literally just arrived), but I do recall back in the day low back pain sometimes, so I'm impressed this alleviated your wife's issues.

Why does anyone do anything? Because they can. Same reason people hide behind keyboards. Thanks for watching.

That’s what it’s all about! Riders supporting riding! Thanks for kicking in, because this work can’t get done without the support of those who enjoy the results 🤘🏼

It’s been 3 years probably for me and I’m dying to ride it again! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 🤘🏼

I appreciate that and that was honestly one of the reasons Jake wanted to make these videos. There are a lot of this generation of hub out there and they need servicing! 😁 P321 is alive and well, though. The new hubs will be released pretty soon here. Keep an eye on their social media accounts for more info and thanks for your comment and support! 🤘🏼

@@PunkUncleShow great to hear you’re still in business. Thanks for your reply.

Appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

That’s exactly why we made these videos! Thanks for checking it out. 🤘🏼

I’m almost 3 years with mine, ridden her in all kinds of terrain and still can’t imagine a more versatile or fun bike to trail ride. Thanks for watching 🤘🏼

Sorry to hear about your issues. I honestly don’t know what’s available as far as replacement parts. I would recommend reaching out to Pro Form directly and inquiring about your options. Good luck!

Not yet completely. We got derailed the summer we got it by high material prices and lack of availability, then we relocated the next spring, bought a new business and things have been crazy. Still planning on it, just had to re-prioritize 😁 Thanks for watching and we will definitely update when there is progress.

Still rockin’ the stick seats, but you’re right. They won’t be hard to remove when we do replace them. Thanks for watching.

Lol, I’m a guy with a GoPro and an iPhone doing outdoor videos. It gets dicey sometimes. Appreciate you watching 🤘🏼

It’s definitely a personal thing. My background is MX so I’ve always preferred a little longer reach than what is often specified. I like a little more room in the cockpit. Others feel a larger/longer bike is harder to turn. You can use a stem change to narrow in one way or the other as well. When I shop, reach is basically how I determine the size I want. If you know what you’re already used to, maybe figure out whether you’re more comfortable going longer or shorter from there? Thanks for watching. Let me know what you end up going with and how it works out!

@@PunkUncleShowsounds good man thanks for the reply. I’m leaning towards the L, but am gonna rent one for a day to make sure I really love it. It’s around 1” in wheelbase difference so I doubt stability will be that affected on the L, and I do ride quite a bit of tech. Good review man!

27.5 front and rear. Switching to mullet soon and I’ll definitely make some videos about the differences.

Aw what a bummer! Sorry to hear that. Hope you figure something out with it.

I appreciate that so much! Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful.

@@PunkUncleShow few years ago I had SR Suntour NCX suspension seatpost, it was really quality made and simply to set up and use. Feeling in ride was really amazing and you can set it to be softer or harder depending on your needs. Now I am in search for dropper and this model is perfect blend of suspension sestpost and dropper. Now I must find out if my frame can take inside routed, external or half internal and half external, or to drill it. Must carefully figure it out. Drilling is last option, but I would like to have my bike tidy and clean with minimum of flapping cables

Good luck!

Congrats on the new bike! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for the support and comment. Enjoy getting that new rig dirty!

Thanks bro! More to come for sure!

I don’t believe so. At least I’ve never come across that being a possibility. That would be nice! Thanks for watching 🤘🏼

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🤘🏼

Hey Gary! I sold the bike a while back, but it went to a friend and I see it on the trail or Facebook regularly 😁 Those wheels are so good I actually had another set custom built for my EVIL Following. On both bikes they have been really dependable and I’m a heavier rider as well (210-215 depending on what point in the ride it is 😆). With the Ripmo AF in particular, I felt the wheel upgrade for $800 was a great deal for getting that bike to ride way above its pay grade. To be fair, I haven’t ridden their aluminum rims, so I can’t give you a direct comparison perspective, but on their own…great wheels. Thanks for watching brother!

Thanks buddy! Hopefully we can get a holiday ride or beer at least when I’m back in town 🤘🏼

Rad! Keep me posted and thanks for watching 🤘🏼

Thanks man! I’d go medium personally, but EVIL might say otherwise. You’re kind of where I am on their charts, being right at the edges of size recommendations. I say buy based on the reach you like, because the cockpit feel is super important to me.

Thanks for watching! I haven’t had that issue at all. My post is about 1.5 years old now. I would definitely reach out to PNW and see what they say. Good luck 🤘🏼

Thanks for checking it out!! The SB140 Is probably the Yeti I would want most, but I wouldn’t trade the Insurgent for one personally. That’s a fully unbiased opinion of course 😆.

Thank you so much! I get kind of tired of how long it takes to find a ride I want to do as well. Most of the other issues I was having have either been fixed or improved since my review. The power meter is completely inaccurate on mine, but other than that, it’s been great considering the price.

I got one of their touch up pens and it helped a ton with the chips and keeping the frame looking fresh. Thanks for watching 🤘🏼

This was a dealer package that got added, not a factory option. Thanks for watching 🤘🏼

Thanks for watching. Yes, the sync issues have been resolved

That’s rad! Thanks for watching. I’m glad it was helpful. Enjoy the trails up there 🤘🏼

Right!? Since I started riding there a couple years ago, I’ve always said it makes everywhere else a little easier. I love it and hope I can get a weekend in this season 🤘🏼

Me either. I’m not in charge of the ratings, because that would be a blue. If you ride the very upper part of it. It’s got a pretty steep section, but I don’t think most people even start at that point. None of the black diamond trails I’ve ridden in that area are very technical at all. Still pretty fun, though. Thanks for watching 🤘🏼

Sorry about that 🤘🏼

@@PunkUncleShow use dynamics on your title card, bro 😁😁

​@@PunkUncleShowit was perfect

@@Cosmicgazer78🙏🏼

Sadly, but maybe not, I haven’t switched to the mullet yet. Only due to life/business being completely insane the last several months, not because I haven’t wanted to. It’s realistically probably not gonna happen til Fall now. HOWEVER, I’ve come to love 27.5 life! Since you have a Following (me too), you don’t have to ride the big bike on long pedal days and the 27.5 Insurgent is a super well mannered, yet rowdy rig for enduro or shuttle days. I think the mullet might help with speed a little bit and obviously be nice on steep tech, but the little front is super nimble at speed and makes it feel really quick. It’s a blast.

Love that granite! Thanks for watching 🤘🏼

That’s an out and back on the San Joaquin River Trail. It’s really not a great spot this time of year, unfortunately. Too hot and it’s low elevation, rattlesnakes, etc. 007 up in Bass Lake or Goat Mountain are good during the summer (morning or evening is still best). If you’re in town for a weekend, China Peak is a ton of fun.

I honestly don’t know. I’m not familiar with the different Stan’s hubs, unfortunately.
