      FROST Seth doesn’t really make videos in the presenter format, he doesn’t have a cameraman or talk to the viewer while recording. It just isn’t his style, he does well with his many other talents like writing/narration, storyline, editing, versatility, cinematography, ect ect

      O.o? Did you really not notice? All 3 dudes in this video are exactly same dude! ROFL. It's called trick video editing and blue screening.
      See when the two blakes are standing side-by-side. He really has done 1 video of the first bike, Then later switched clothes and bike later in time, and record in same exactly scene area but inches away. Then with video editing, He can 'clone' both videos together to make it seem like Video 1 and video 2 are in 1 video and responding to eachother. But really aren't.

      I'm riding a 1996 Litespeed OBED F/S. It's a really early Horst link full sus design, with a titanium front triangle and aluminum rear triangle. The rear suspension triangle was built by AMP Research, and is the same as the old AMP B2. The frame is the only original hardware, I've replaced every other component, including the shock. Still 80mm travel front and back though. The modern fork is already longer than the old one in terms of crown to axle, so I was worried that adding any more travel would change the geometry too much. I love riding this old beast, and I've taken it down some steep, tech trails with drops up to like 2 or 3 feet. It's also set up for bikepacking. You can have a lot of fun on old bikes. That said, I demoed some new ones recently, and the technology has come a long way in 20 years. I feel like I don't want to push my old warhorse any harder, so I think it is time for a new bike that I can really get rowdy on. I'm feeling really drawn to the new kinds of hardcore hardtails, like the ragley blue pig. Something with a 140ish fork, long-low-slack geometry, and probably 27.5+/29er options. I can tell that the geometry out my current bike was really just a minor change from road bike geometry. It's from the truly early days of MTB design.

    This is a shot in the dark but can someone please tell me what shoes/pedals Blake is using? I'm assuming its the Stamp pedals and Clan shoes? The way he effortlessly pulls the pedals up at 3:00 looks like some clipped in magic and I would definitely go flats if I had something that grippy.

    This is not a good compare. You had to compare a lyrik vs revelation. A 150mm.pike is almost an enduro fork, or it was until they recovered the lyrik. Both are 35 mm stanchions. You have to compare a 32mm 120-140 fork with the lyrik. But I love they way you do you videos Blake.😃

    • @FedericoTesta1

    • @jordidiego2149
      @jordidiego2149 5 лет назад

      Federico Testa i jumped from a 130mm revelation to a 140 mm pike tuned to 150mm and MRP ramp up dial, and the difference is as you said noghr and day. If you compare it with a factory 170 lyrik the difference is huge.

  • @clivem25
    @clivem25 5 лет назад +1

    I just switched from a 150mm Fox 34 Performance to a 150mm Fox 36 Factory and can feel the difference on the downs while the ups remain unaffected with the weight difference being unnoticeable. To me the 34 is trail and the 36 enduro, it's not all about travel.

    It’s a great take on the ride differences that you can feel on bigger vs smaller travel bikes. I did a ride on a Nomad version 3 and it needed to be at Mach 3 hitting big stuff before it felt like it was coming alive. If you don’t have that terrain on your door step it can feel like the bike does it all as you are a passenger.

  • @erobertson1417
    @erobertson1417 5 лет назад +3

    Call me crazy but.... a 150/170 Pike and Lyrik are both high end enduro forks? Yari/Revelation and Reba are more trail forks between 120 and 140. Weird comparison.

    I just installed a rockshox 35 gold rl 160mm travel on my trek roscoe, I chose this fork as my best option being a bigger rider, so far I'm no longer bottoming out every 5 seconds like I was on the stock 130mm fork, it has also affected the slack just enough to make it handle better on my local trails and feel more stable on jumps

    • @cohenpeters7200
      @cohenpeters7200 2 года назад +1

      Mate adding 40mm of travel onto a bike is not a good idea, the bike was designed for the travel it’s got and will mess up the geometry and is much more likely to snap if the frame

      @@cohenpeters7200 I went from a 130 to 160 and it's awesome, it completely brought my bike to life. This only slackened it up a couple degrees, about as much as if I would've put a slackerizer headset on it. If the frame snaps then I'll buy a new one. No worries. Keep shredding 🤙
