Yeah! Awesome. You were workin' that thing. I just got a full 29er "R" build w/the FOX 34's in XL and I love it!! You really showed here what I've been saying about how this thing is as capable as a FS bike. I've been riding my Stumpy a lot but after getting this I have renewed my love for HTs. Dig these rides you took us on. Nice scenery too. What dropper lever did you put on that? ~JSV
I felt almost as confident on this as my Bronson. Harsher ride of course but it's just as much fun and surprising how well it does on the chunky stuff. Love how efficient it is climbing. It's a wolf tooth lever with a one-up v2 post. Prefer it to the reverb on my other bike tbh! Thanks for watching.
@@MrJkillahoe415 Yeh a little. I would have bought pre built but could only find the frame in stock. Got to re use the brakes off an old bike so that saved me a bit.
@@benbmtb6482 what build would you have gone with? I am thinking about going with the AL D 29 but everyone keeps saying it has really bad components for the price. What is your opinion? What build kit model would you have gone with?
@@MrJkillahoe415 Yeah actually now that you mention it... the builds are not great for the money. Looking at them again I'd probably still go with custom, it worked out about the same price as the D kit but much better components. Pike VS recon. And I hear deore is better than SX, it's really smooth.
That some real hardtail riding, boy!
Has your back recovered yet 😂 this was the trail that made me buy a full suss

where do you put the camera? on the chest?
funky dropper lever angle
Yeh it is! Feels kinda wrong whichever angle I put it at for some reason.
Cool video, what build did you go with?
Custom build with Pikes, hope wheels, XT brakes, one up dropper post and a mix of SLX and deore groupset.
@@benbmtb6482 wow, sounds super nice. Do you feel you got a better value by doing a custom build?
