Annual Pilgrimage to Whistler
I'm not the biggest fan of riding at the bike park, but if you live in the PNW you've gotta make it up to the Whistler Bike Park at least once a year. I guess it's not much of a pilgrimage for me because it's only around a 2 hour drive, but it's still a lot further than my usual riding spots! I decided to take my Dreadnought this time to see how it handled the bike park.

I recently moved to Coquitlam, BC and I feel super lucky to have the trails at Burke Mountain in riding distance from my new place! I've been really enjoying exploring the trails around here and getting familiar with the area. 0:00 - Deliverance 5:03 - Ridden Art 6:22 - Bullet Tooth Tony 6:50 - Garbage 8:51 - Hustler In this video: www.trailforks.com/trails/deliverance/ www.trailforks.com/trail...
Setting up my Forbidden Dreadnought

I got a Forbidden Dreadnought last week! I've been on a few rides on it, so here's some footage from those rides & some of my initial impressions of the bike. 0:00 - Day 1 4:19 - Day 2 9:40 - Day 3 13:25 - Initial Impressions
Eagle Mountain is amazing.

Eagle Mountain is such a hidden gem when it comes to riding in the Greater Vancouver area. The trail crews in the area & TORCA put in so much work, and it really shows. Every time I visit this mountain the trails have new features - it's really cool!
Back on the Izzo
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.3 года назад
It had been a while since I had ridden the Izzo, so I thought I'd take it out on a spin to ride one of the Fromme favorites - Expresso.
This is quickly becoming my favorite trail.

The first time I rode Ned's Atomic Dustbin I didn't really know what to think. It's definitely a trail that divides people - you either love it or you hate it. I knew right from the get go that if you knew the trail well you would be able to absolutely blast down it. Each time I ride it I have more and more fun, and I've been riding it a lot recently. I decided to bring out the GoPro to get a s...
One Month With a YT Izzo

The First Issue With My YT Izzo
Просмотров 5 тыс.4 года назад
After only 3 weeks of ownership I already ran into an issue with my YT Izzo. The SRAM TwistLok remote failed, causing my rear suspension to constantly lock itself as I'm riding it. This is super annoying, to say the least.

A Solo Ride on Mt. Seymour
Просмотров 4194 года назад
I go for a relaxed ride on Mount Seymour, connecting Severed D. into John Deer - two trails I know very well, so my chance of injury is at a minimum. Going out for an early morning ride is a great way to get some exercise during this period of lock down, and an even better way to take your mind off of things.
A Chilly Day On Fromme!
Просмотров 1234 года назад
I ride down Oilcan to test out my new filming set up: a go pro strapped to the chin of a Fox Proframe! I'm also trying out clipless pedals again - I picked up a pair of Crank Brothers Mallet E pedals after struggling to get along with Shimano Saint SPD pedals several times, and find that I enjoy them a lot more than Shimano's SPD system.
Getting back into it - Mount Seymour
Просмотров 1374 года назад
I haven't been able to ride in a while, but I'm getting back into things now! I kinda messed up wearing the chest harness and as a result most of the footage was too shakey to be watchable, but there was enough usable footage to make a highlights reel of sorts. Here is one of my first rides in quite some time, riding Mount Seymour on the North Shore of Vancouver!
Trail Edit
Просмотров 2404 года назад
I'm getting back into it after separating my shoulder in October, so I thought I'd start off slow with a trail edit on one of the calmer trails in a park near my house! Apparently it was a lot darker than I thought though, so the footage is very grainy. Filming in winter is hard!

I own one of these beasts. If you let it go it will show you how much skill you dont have lol
What’s your opinion of bike? I pretty much have the same setup as you for my 2020 Offering, aside from my RS shock does not have a megneg can on it. I still need to fine tune it but so far I’m not a fan of it’s climbing but enjoy the poppiness of it on the downs. Still need more ride time on it though.
Looks like heartland in Victoria?
Thanks for sharing ! Do you still have it ? Still like it ? I recently snatched one up and can't wait to get it out to some proper trails. I went with this for a cushy park bike with lifts. I'm older so I won't be pushing it very hard. Mostly blues I imagine.
LOL watching how all the fat dissolved within weeks was such a relief! I used what I mentioned the other day, and although it actually took a bit more than a month, I finally got strong pecs, I just go’ogled Baker Henistole, and now the looks I get from others are totally worth it.
Did YT ever address the twist grip concern?
Is this an alloy or carbon frame? Thanks I'm considering buying one the next few days in my area.
what mount are you using for your garmin? cheers!
Hi, how tall are you and what size is the bike?
Rode this for the first time today. That gap jump you have to clear by another 2-3 feet now since the landing is all pointy rocks after winter rains haha And I hear you about the low speed tech corners. I suck at those hahaha. But this is a great trail to practice those on
I’m kinda confused about the water bottle situation. I just un screwed the two plastic plate bolts and attached the cage in those bolt holes. Those bolts are long and it worked. I didn’t bother with the little rubber grommets and adding those nuts underneath because the bolts were too long even when attaching the cage. Am I missing something?
Haha nice. Talk about under biking!
how's the dreadnought been working out for you? COnsidering buying one.
He doesn't like it
From what I've experienced via RUclips most people don't keep the bike very long and they don't talk about it much.
Ever hear back from YT? I keep hearing they customer service sucks
Customer service from the USA distributor in San Clemente has always been great for me.
I so want to go to Whistler . Nice riding and great to see you ride
You should come! You’ll feel right at home, I think 90% of the people who work in the park are from Australia haha.
@@lost_in_the_woods yes I’ve heard that . Got a few mate who have worked there as mechanics , tour guides and chefs all said the same
So I’ve heard you can’t change grips cause of the twisty-suspension dampener thingy? Is this true?
You can change grips but you’ll need to get a different suspension lockout system too.
@@davidm6751 That's true, if you're getting a model without the lockout you don't have to worry about it at all.
Looks like you had a blast. Some trails i haven't seen. Thanks!
Yo what's the shock pump you using
It's one that came with my YT Izzo. I brought it because it was small enough to fit in my hip pack.
Great video, but I wouldn't say this is part of any beginner lap
What did you use to secure your spare tube to the two mounting screws below the top tube? Was looking for ways to best utilize them
It's a Wolftooth B-RAD strap, the medium one I believe. High Above makes a cool one too.
@@lost_in_the_woods Thanks a lot!
That color scheme is amazing. Great choice!
Thanks! I'm really pleased with how the bike turned out too.
Its been over a year this this was uploaded, but thanks for make a thorough review(first impressions) from just demoing the bike. Not only is this one of the only reviews of the devinci wilson in 29, but it was very well done!
Yes I have to admit I subscribed for the dreadnought 😭. Nice trail for a nice bike :)
Really like the bike and the changes you did so far! Got an Izzo myself about two months ago and thinking about putting either a 35mm or a 42,5mm stemm on it... Did the 40mm stem is as short as you would go or recommend or would you even go shorter? I am between sizes at 6'1 and sized up to a XL and currently using 800mm (maybe cutting down to 780 in future but not sure about it yet) handlebars with 35mm rise and a 50mm stem.
The 40mm feels just about right! I haven't tried anything shorter though, I only went with 40mm because I had this stem laying around. I did do some back to back testing with the 60mm stem and definitely prefer the 40 to the 60.
@@lost_in_the_woods Thank you for the answer! Have to say that it's still itching in my fingers to try the 35mm tho because of focus on descending... Definitly going to give it a try. Thanks again and have fun riding!
@@TorbenOhneH I'm 6 foot and considering the XL. What do you think I have a 33 inch inseam and was considering shortening the stem? Haven't ordered yet and torn between xl and large, ahh
@@mikenbikes9192 I recently sized down and now ride a 2020 L TREK Rail. I like that definetely more an would size down the next time but i have never ridden a L IZZO...
This was just what I needed. Any updates long(ish) term? Im also a tall dude riding the shore and the dreadnought is what I plan to buy as soon as I can find one.
I've been really enjoying it. Riding the XL is kinda like sizing down for someone my height, so the bike still feels quite playful to me - I find it easy to jump and move it around etc. I have a blast riding it on steeper trails like Deliverance or fast & rough trails like Ned's, but I do find it to be a bit of a handful on flatter/ tighter trails like Upper Oilcan & Mow it Down. It's also really fun on fast flowy trails like Expresso or Ridden Art. Overall, very happy with the bike. Only downside I've found so far is if you have big calves the idler pulley/ chain will make your leg greasy.
@@lost_in_the_woods I’m 6’6. I’m used to having to struggle my XXL bike around the tight corners on the shore. Reach is identical to my current ride but the dreadnought has wayyy longer chain stays. I definitely like the idea of keeping the bike a little playful. Just wish I could demo one!
Hah, I bought it on faith too. The long chainstays are really nice for tall people - nice to have the rear of the bike grow in proportion with the front! Feels much more balanced. I did find the stack to be a bit low, right now I'm running it with 10mm of spacers under the stem and a 50mm rise bar.
@@lost_in_the_woods Just put in a preorder today. Can't wait!
@@sandbox390 Hell yeah, you're gonna love it.
Nice work on Deliverance! It's one of the harder trails around.
Thanks! It ended up actually being easier than I had imagined, but I think that was mostly because I spent a lot of time building it up in my mind as this ultra steep/ difficult trail without having seen it in person. Says more about my imagination than the trail itself haha.
Sounds like you're going to need to keep a good stock of replacement brake pads ;). Trail looks gnarly and fun.
Hah, yeah, that first trail is quite steep! Average grade of ~35%, but it gets up to 50% at times.
Can we get a bike check vid! I have the Druid SLX
Good idea! I've just finished moving houses so I haven't had much time to film & edit, but I've been riding a lot. Seems about time to get the gopro out again to film something again.
I find that fox recommended settings are always off. Their recommended settings for my 36 set it up with way too much air pressure and way to much of both high and low speed compression damping
I ended up ignoring the suggested 20% sag, which needed 127 psi for me to get. I settled around 121 psi in the fork, ~2-3 clicks less damping on both HSC and LSC and 2-3 clicks faster rebound for LSR, HSR was about the same as recommended. I also removed one of the volume spacers that was in the fork so it only has one in there now.
hello there tks for the video ,,i would like to know what is the lock out lever you found ???
I linked to it in the description there, it's canadian amazon though so might not be available if you don't live here.
@@lost_in_the_woods got it tks a lot , i live in Montreal it will work , rode the bike i am stoke , i own a capra and a Jeffsey but love the izzo
Pretty sure I saw you at your car on your final day. Shouted something about forbidden as I pedalled by. Looks sweet! Hoping to cop one this Summer when stock is replenished. Have you ridden anything tight and janky on it yet? Curious how It would handle something like Bookwus or Grannies - even executioner. I’m only 5’9” - but I’m leaning towards the Dreadnought over the Druid since I’ll be up the S2S starting this Spring. I feel like a medium DN could be a really cool compromise.
are there trails open when wet?
Yes, always
Great video, i've had my Izzo Pro around 6 weeks and the twist loc failed! Thanks to your video I have found the same remote level in the UK - Just what I was looking for! We have the same saddle too, so comfy
Looks like the new Blaze Isso edition doesn't have that lockout and comes with wider bars.. maybe they watched your review!?
Hah, maybe! I think it was pretty common feedback.
I'm quite concerned about you contacting YT support and not hearing back for a week. That's pretty shit.
Nice vid, thanks for sharing your impressions!. As a fellow 6’6 rider, your size/build looks like what I would go for. I know that we live in the era of “how cares about weight”, but have you weighted it by any chance? Not really worried about weight myself, but I keep fantasizing with the idea of running it with a dual crown fork. Cheers!
It's 16.4kg/ 36.1lbs with pedals, tire inserts etc.
Hey! Can I ask what you ended up doing for the chain? just joined two together 50% of each chain or ran a full chain plus the extra links joined by another master link?
A full chain plus three extra links from another chain, one of those links being a master link. I posted a bike check on vital, you can see the master links in the shot of the cassette/ rear end coming out of the bottom of the derailleur. www.vitalmtb.com/community/Beestrangler,54625/setup,43636
Hi man, I have a 27.5 devinci spartan from 2018 and I really want to pull the trigger on the dreadnought, I always wanted a druid but it was to small for ruff single tracks here in South of france and I was waiting this long travel version a lot! Please let us know after 2-3 month of riding how it goes :).
The Dreadnought looks amazing. I'm in Southern California and I'm not sure if we have the trails for it. Pretty awesome to have that bike and live where you live!
What size did you go for and your height? Cheers
I'm 6'6", I got the XL.
@@lost_in_the_woods Oh yeah defo XL then! I am 6 Ft 2 and trying to pick between L or XL. Right on the edge of sizing as usual!
@@skatefarmerftw If an XXL size existed I would be right on the edge of it, so it's kinda like I "sized down" to XL. The XL size has been working well for me, I can still move the bike around easily and it honestly jumps quite well. Being as tall as I am though I don't think I've ever got to experience what "sizing up" for a bike feels like, so I can't give you any impressions from that side of things.
@@lost_in_the_woods Awesome, Sounds like its perfect for you. Now so many people are telling me about the Druid being all the bike you ever need I am totally confused haha!
@@skatefarmerftw I do agree that the Druid is the better bike for most riders. I probably would've gone with a Druid but the sizing on them runs so small that it wouldn't really work for me. Coming from a bike that is pretty similar to the Druid (Evil Offering) the Dreadnought is definitely harder to climb on, but the increased descending capabilities make the tradeoff worth it to me.
i want one so bad
Been thinking about getting an enduro bike to pair with my Izzo, this might just be the one! A little pricey compared to YT though haha
If you can find one it’s a great choice!
I was just looking for a video like this. No one has a Dreadnought yet!
I've hit that rear quick release a few times early on, on my CAPRA as well.
Your free hub is so loud lol...but good video
Haha yeah, I love a loud hub. Works as an effective always on bell for hikers!
Nice video.
Looks awesome dude 🤩👍 great riding 🤙 subbed, take care man 😀
