What a rad bike! It’s durable, it’s damped, it’s confidence inspiring! I love it! Also added some comments on the component choices and changes over the last year. Thanks @oneupcomponents_official for the blue pedals :)
SRAM Maven Ultimate brakes. Phenomenal, but one issue….

I’ve been using the brakes for a few weeks now and while I’m very impressed with the power, lever feel and value of the ultimate kit, I have found one issue which other outlets haven’t touched on yet

RAAW Madonna V2.2 frame first look!
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.Год назад
I decided a bump I travel was needed for some of the trails I ride. This will give me more margin for error and safety. I was definitely sad to say goodbye to the RAAW Jibb, but stoked to get this frame built up and ride it before the the trails descend into winter mode. Let me know what you think and please ask any and all questions! Happy trails!
Norco Torrent 2021 Shredpacking Bikepacking bike check
Просмотров 545Год назад
Talking through the components on my do it all hardtail. This bike is in my fleet and doesn’t get enough credit. It takes on all the tasks, from double black steeps to riding to the shops. It’s so versatile, and whilst being a master at nothing, it can do literally everything. Here it is in shredpacking guise and it’s a comfortable bike to pedal all day. Ask any and all questions, I love chatti...
RAAW Jibb complete build and component choice
Просмотров 4,2 тыс.3 года назад
Just picked up my XL RAAW Jibb after a custom build. I sourced the parts locally as much as possible and built up what I think is a durable build which leans towards descending ability rather than climbing. It's never going to be an XC whippet (and not designed to be!) so it's been assembled with burly components for a 90-95kg rider.

First impressions of my 2017 Hilleberg Anjan 3 GT. Fantastic tunnel tent with just a few drawbacks. Edit: On a night camped away from water I experienced no condensation on the inside of the fly!

ASMR bike tires on soft gravel white noise
I got it right that Ur riding a mullet Setup? Anything negative remarqued? Because this 2.2 Version originally was not supposed to be equipped by two different wheelsizes...
How’d she do?
The Hs2 rotors are actually 2mm
I just bought a 2023 for back country bike packing and for playing on 😂😂
That’s why Magura calipers are the best, it’s just one piece.
And are a bastard to bleed!
Thanks for the rundown. I am curious about the frame stiffness and therefore the harshness. Do you ever find it to be too stiff? I am used to carbon bikes which do mute a lot of the chatter. I am totally sold on this frame's geometry as my next bike and hoping it won't be too harsh of a ride.
Have you been able to get rid of the growing bite point?
Careful with rear rotor: you're using a 200mm rotor with a 203 PM mount. If you have install the 180 mount and the included adapter or use a 203 rotor.
Am having same issue got a 203 mount using a 200 rotor what you suggest
@ronnienewsome800 Sadly, you can't do much other than replacing the rotor to a 203. If you have adapter you can eplace it with a sram specific 20p.
@@LallerHU I have got a isis mount finding correct adaptor
Does sram have a 203mm rotor? I only have seen them in 20mm increaments
Same issue here, don’t know if it’s greese or if it’s leaking… However, hate sram now! 😂
What nm should the bolts be at if they are not tight enough?
I still see mineral oil sipping out from the seam in the back?
I have seen online other people complain about this issue too
Its assembly compound dissapears after a ride or 2 there's now a warning on sram
I just went for a very dusty ride and there’s moist dust along the mated surfaces. The brake power and lever feel is still great, but I will be following up with my LBS
I was concerned about this aswell but seems to be assembly grease.
@@MrSupermugen Ah, interesting. From what I saw at the bike store,when the tech was squeezing the lever it appeared to be liquid coming out of the mating line between the two sides of the caliper.
Looking to purchase the exact sized Norco Torrent and was hoping to pick up a frame bag for it. What was the inside measurements of your top tube, down tube and seat tube if you know? The measurements on Norco's site doesn't seem to have those measurements. Thanks in advanced!
Let me know if you still need these measurements and I can get them
Nice looking bike....enjoy yourself
Thanks @james!
hard to beat a well built raw alloy rig 🔥
This!!
mine is the 2.0 version and still the boss.
Incremental changes to a well engineered machine!
Awesome campground, currently closed as it's under construction 🏗
Soon to reopen summer 2024!!!
@@richcollumbine I believe I just heard they reopened now.
I didn’t know this was a cycling boot until now. Been looking for a boot for 2 months now and all that I’m attracted to has to be ordered and shipped. I was also looking at the Salomon Toundra Pro
Is that a Medium Ranger frame bag on your Torrent?
It’s a large frame bag on an XL frame I believe. I’ll take a look and get back to you.
What size is your frame bag and are you happy with the fit? I’m trying to figure out what bag will fit best on my L torrent.
Yeah I’m fairly happy with the fit and the durability of the @revelate bags are amazing. I couldn’t find a company that made an off the shelf bag that looked like it would fit perfectly.
such freedom!...damn...so jealous! :)
Thanks for doing the video, have you still got the bike 2 years on and if so any changes made ? I'm also 6'4" tall with lots of height in my legs so it's challenging finding a bike with enough stack height but not so much reach.
Sorry I missed this comment… I have actually moved up to a RAAW Madonna V2.2 purely for more travel. I’m still VERY happy with the geometry (tall stack, steep seat tube, long chainstay) of the Raaw bikes and would still recommend the Jibb. The V2 has since been released which has refined their design even more
@@richcollumbine thanks for getting back mate :) Good to know you're still keen on the Raaw bikes 3 years in. Must be good if you choose the same brand again. The Jibb is still on my next bike list for when I feel the need for more travel again. I ended up on a Santa Cruz Tall boy and thats a great bike with easy availability here in Australia.
Nice video. I have the S2 version of this bike from 2021. Also thinking of loading it up and doing some overnighters with it. How do you find it on long hauls?
Fantastic actually. I have 2.6” tires and I believe these help with the comfort on longer days
Just bought this frame and fork exactly. Wasn’t planning on it, but it was too good a deal to pass on. How versatile is the bike for normal trails and your bikepacking? Seems an aggressive bike for that, but I also plan to use it for some kid trailer duty as well as chunky trail sessions.
I use the bike for everything! I’ll take it down double black trails to scare myself and also pedal it all day. Even with some burlier components, it’s refreshing to ride a peppy hardtail after being on full suspension enduro bike
Did you ever have problems with the boa lock or the laces failing?
Hey, Great video. Curious how you're liking the Madonna vs the Jibb after riding? Are you happy with the trade? I'm leaning Madonna, but currently on a bike that is right in the middle of these two bikes and I wonder if the Madonna wouldn't feel like too much bike sometimes?
It’s always nice to have too much travel than not enough. 😂 it does feel like a lot of bike sometimes, but there is no one bike quiver
Those are some very good tips. I ordered mine as a 47 when my regular footwear is 46 I wanted the extra room just so the insulation wouldn't get compressed and I could wear heavier socks ...for example, in northern Saskatchewan where I ride my fat bike almost daily I wear smart wool Mountaineer socks, which are quite thick and insulation is useless if it's compressed down to paper thin
Hi, thanks a lot for the video, really helpful! I am also planning on getting a madonna. Do you know which angle set would fit this bike and its head tube length etc? Is the bottom bracket a threaded one? and is the rear derailleur hanger a universal one? Thanks a lot.
Apologies I missed this comment! I like the Works components headsets. You can order direct from them in the UK. BB is threaded yes. Yes the derailleur hanger is universal
Hey where did you buy it from? Direct?
Hi! Thinking to switch to raaw but don t know if i should go jibb or madonna. I have a DH and an enduro for the moment but I almost don t use the dh because the enduro does it all maybe even better with the big reach and wheels. So i m thinking to go with a jibb + dh combo or madonna (with a shorter reach than my current enduro) + dh combo or just a madonna dream build. What do you think? I m more a gravity guy but I ride a lot of chill trails and my current enduro feels a a bit too long for melow trails…
Honestly the Jibb is as heavy as the Madonna give or take. If you want a zippy trail bike, then the Jibb with some faster rolling tires would be my preference.
👍
looks very good indeed but I 'd pick the Madonna
How refreshing to see a bike company that prides itself on quality and efficiency to this extent i will be getting a madonna thanku.
Sorry I missed responding to this comment. Yes, they are an excellent brand, putting durability, ease of self maintenance and modern geometry straight into the hands of the riders
Beautiful machine
How much did it cost for everything? I was thinking about getting the frame but Ive never built a bike from scratch
It is definitely more expensive than buying a comparable complete bike. I think this came in under $8k CAD
Beautiful build buddy👌 very smart indeed. Looking fwd to your reviews on this, been looking to build one up myself but there’s not much feedback on them yet. What’s your intended riding for it ?? I’m looking to do a single speed park bike.
Mostly my local trails which are steep, techy and rooty. It was a tough choice deciding between this and the Madonna. If you are looking for a park bike, you may be better served by a Madonna.
Nice build dude :) My Madonna frame should arrive in 5 weeks, I am so excited!
Awesome! I'd love to see pics of it built!
So you got the 47 - what size do you wear in shoes?
Great advice on sizing
Still happy with your boots?
What’s yours weight/height? Interested due to the 550/600 spring rate Thanks!
I'm 6'4" and 200-210 lb
Did you have this shipped directly to you from Germany? Thanks
Yes, direct from Germany
That must be annoying, did you get a resolution? Was bouncing the idea around of the Jibb with that shock but that's concerning.
I did get it resolved in the end, but the resolution was a new shock under warranty!
My makes a similar Sound but when comming out of a compression so when the shock extents again
Nice frameset and available now :D How tall are you in cm? I'm 185cm think I need Large. And second question you buy from Germany bike components right? Best regards from Germany
Hi Max. I bought it direct from RAAW. I'm 6'4" and went with an XL
Looks awesome congrats Be very interested in your ride impressions.
Thanks! Just got her built up and about to upload a "first look" at the bike and component choices
comments on company website are brutal ! who else thinks if you submerged your boot in water it would freeze instantly... duh??
Thank you for the information. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the new 2020 version. 👍
I can't believe human intelligence stops when it comes to tarp and ground even tarp accumulates moisture
Al Beklik thanks Al. Yep, I've had my fair share of tents and all generally suffer from a build up of moisture due to humidity and temperature differential across the membrane. I was just a little surprised as it was a revised model with larger vents all around the base. This coupled with the thin breathable membrane I hoped would minimise this issue but it was quite surprising how much moisture there was. If I'm car camping with the tent then I bring a towel to wipe the inside down prior to packing it up!
I don't know how to explain this to you all the moisture comes from the ground up so the tent accumulates the moisture and plus the moisture in the air adds 2 the formula
Great review!
mnyheim thanks!
Useful review Richard, thanks. Having had a few Hillys I think you'd get on better with a Nammatj 3GT as the end vents really make a difference to the condensation build up? ( just a thought and happy camping ).
Andrew Park thanks for the info. Yes, I did look at that model but one of my requirements was a relatively light weight for backpacking and this revised 3 season model appears to fit the bill pretty well.
Thanks for the review! Any updates you have after using the tent more would be appreciated- particularly after nights of unfriendly weather.
Dallas Brose thanks for the comment. Yeah I used the tent extensively over the summer and a little during the fall of 2018 and it's held up valiently. I have had it in hot, dry weather to some pretty full.on storms and not had any issue with it. Durability wise it looks brand new and haven't had any leaking. The only issue I had was the elastic going slack in one of the tent poles. I contacted Hilleberg and they sent me quite a few metres of replacement elasticated rope to use. Fantastic service!!
