I can’t wait to visit one day 🎉

After the many 1000’s ive spent on my bike. The best up grade i did cost £70 for a suspension set up by a factory team suspension engineer. That did not include a re shim on the fork. But my point is, compared to the performance you get, even as a advanced beginner, the ride performance and confidence you get from properly set up suspension is worth more than anything else you can buy for your bike. I honestly think bike shops, especially shops like Brink who have a in house suspension tuning department should increase the price of every bike so that the bike comes with a ‘free’ bike set up.

What sort of school should one attend to gain this knowledge? Brilliant video! Can't wait to watch more!

This is mad for a lunchtime ride! But there's always one leading the way, messing it up slightly and making it even more of a head game for those of us going next!

I love how differently people's minds work. If I had a drawing on my bike that my kid did, everytime I looked down at it I'd be panicking that I'm going to hurt myself and won't be able to look after him 🤣. I'm glad it works for you though 🙌

Do you have a video of ohlins ttx18 damping disassembly❤

😂

6'5" and been running 75mm riser bars for the last four years. Definitely gives me more front end grip and more control over technical janky terrain as I can more easily un-weight the hands. I looked at the ratio of stack height to rider height for various manufacturers and frame sizes and concluded that to get the same effective ratio of bar height to rider height of a guy on a medium bike I needed higher risers. Tried 50mm first then 75 mm and haven't looked back since. I recently tried lowering the bars just to see if I felt more comfortable with the front end grip and only lasted two rides before concluding that the higher bars were better.

That colour is stunning

Nice one 👍

I was there two days ago

Sick bud!

smooth :)

I ride 760,mm carbon RF low rise bars, bc My friend gave them to me, cuz he switched to deity high rise bars, don't remember the exact number tho

Ste rocking his ride high 50mm bars already one video later!! Verdict?

Why not state their respective heights? The most important metric overlooked….

What is the sweet spot for the average weekend warrior on which build to get? Better to get an R and switch out components you want to be better? Seems like that might be the ticket. The jump from there for significant difference is a lot of $$. I never see anyone do a nice breakdown, side-by-side of the real differences between the builds and present the value add or who is it best suited for info.

Flipchip Low or high ?

Mine is a CC in Grey, Fox38 (X2) in Orange, DHX2 in orange coil, Onxy classic hubs in silver, Silver Ochain with black ochian 155mm cranks, Burgetc carbon bars, stem, and saddle, Fox dropper, Cascade link in chrome, cushcore XC f/r with Magic Mary radial f and Albert radial r both in super gravity. Travel 170mm/156mm. Hayes Dominion A4 brakes.

Is the fork 160mm or 170mm?

Sorry matt your wrong all the sizes have the same chainstay length of 442mm.

How to disassemble damping

The levo sl is nice but too weak on the motor

You can only compare the numbers if the efficiency the same. The levo has the better efficiency id say. Every range video always ride it in turbo. Would like to see someone do a big enduro day in eco/trail.

Quality 🎥 😊👍

Nice one 👍

Here’s a question…. When measuring yourself for a bike , the manufacturer gives a guide for height and one would guess that’s bare foot but surely it makes more sense to measure your height as you did there in the shoes you ride in for a more realistic measurement ? I’m always in between large and XL at 186cm without kicks but with more like 188-190 making mr surely an XL …..🤷‍♀️

I love the copper PBJ, I ride mine with a big grin.

I take it both bikes are XL ?

the most sexiest one is missing >RS Pike Ultimate Gloss Silver

I don't recommend turbo levo, bad experience and terrible support from specialized

Hey mate, good Vid. In Australia we dont have the thumb throttle option. Can I buy the parts and connect to an Australian Version ? Thanks

Nice review. Thank you. I kinda enjoy being stuck to the ground.

Interesting video. Really difficult subject to get a grasp on without considering other aspects of terrain choice, bike setup, and other geometry figures. What about the chain stay length / stack height correlation? Ape index is a good look at how the front of the bike interacts with different body types, but what about different rider heights vs inseam length? Would be a cool to do a video series to test out each aspect of bike geo and it's effect on bike fit/weight distribution. Would need a hyper adjustable bike for that, something like a Geometron or stumpy Evo.

My dry weight is 207lbs. Oh. Hello from Texas, USA! My bike came with Fox Factory 36/160mm. It never felt like I imagined, and it didn't perform like i needed. I bought a Fox Factory E-Tuned 38/170mm. With this upgrade it made a huge difference! The bike feels safe and predictable. Now that I'm riding faster I feel it needs a slight adjustment. I went with E-Tuned because I'm on the heavier side, and the factory tune is more open with 3 spacers. This is the 1st video I've seen that somewhat explains the different adjustments. This I appreciate! I was having a hard time tuning so I did a deep dive into tuning. This is the most important thing a rider can do, and that is to understand how your suspension is supposed to be initially set up, and exactly what each adjustment does. I liked you vid 👍

I use a shockwiz. Awesome bit of kitwhich takes the mystery out of it.

I open everything fully, then add spring rate to sag, then add rebound & compression. All in this order tbh I've never had anything fool that protocol except Olhins forks 😅

For the love of god.....just get to the farking point Mr Waffle King !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Chicksands, but I dont think I've ever seen anyone changing their suspension from one trail to another there. I presume this is just for explanaition purposes. The Chicksands trails are about 30 seconds long, so its a lot of faffing. I understand at BPW when going from Willy Waver to AC/DC why youd want to change the settings, but even there a lot of people like to "Set and Forget". Great content though, a good explanation of how to adjust on the fly.

The stock tyres on my Levo are coming to the end of their life. I like the look of the Cannibal but where I live in NZ the trails are sandstone and get quite dusty and hard in summer. I also ride in Rotorua a lot where the trails are well draining volcanic soils. Wondering if you think they'd be well suited to these kind of surfaces?

Heckler sl or Levo sl, which one would you choose if you had to pick?

Is the top cap just for bling or are you not a fan of the Swat tool thingamajig?

Enjoy the technical content. I know the theory behind the various clickers, but wish i was sensitive enough to feel the difference!

I’m just about to chuck on some of those Burgtec 50’s on the new Vala 🤙

What length is the fork?

I felt the opposite the high bar doesnt allow me to get over the front of the bike

I like the comfort of the high bar and the acuracy -and the position I have- of the lower bar. Depends on the situation : trail of the sunday morning vs "race" :-)

I'm 2 meter tall, and even for me I run 780mm bars. I used to run810mm bar width. But just a bit less wide is making me move the bike more underneath me and feel way more in control. So I think the bar with is almost a bigger difference than the height. Just try to shorter then even by 20mm is a massive difference

I just ordered fifty fifty brand bars with a 50mm rise cant wait for them to be here ❤
