Every DarkFest rider ever: So basically I sucked the air from a small village just to put it in my fork, I have sand in my tires instead of air and I have brick instead of spring at the rear so the thing does not fold over when I shoot myself like a human cannonball.. :D
This gave me a good chuckle! There's a definite mindset across a lot of forms of cycling the more "extreme" side at the very least... "I'll set my bike up so it's detrimental to my health, so that something MORE detrimental to my health doesn't happen whilst I do something that's detrimental to my health" haha.
If anything, it looks like he's running 27.5 in the front and 29 in the back. I guess it's just how he has his bike sitting in his segment, with the front of the bike further away from the camera than the rear.
My friend put this bike together for his son and before I knew it he was done ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L When the son came to put it together he was surprised to see it was already done. All he had to do was take the bike to get air and be on his way. My friend did not have any major problems putting this bike together; small issue was putting one of the brakes on straight; however when the son got home he was able to fix it. The bike rides well gears move correctly; good bike for the price. Wrote review after the son took the bike. Sorry.
@@Sqwelch That haha comes off as an awkward "I know I'm wrong" vibe. Not even trying to start an argument here, but my accuracy is correct. Sorry dude.
How are Hydra hubs good? 4 different bearing sizes, shit durability, loud and annoying as fuck and crazy drag. Not to mention is means your suspension doesn't even work properly due to chain growth.
They are actually quiet hubs, people just remove the grease from them and run oil take purposely make them louder. But ya I don't understand it either, and many of these freeride guys run them, and with that much engagement, you gotta feel the kickback, unless you running high pivot i guess.
@@mitchelljarvis2944 No, they're loud from the box. Sure, you can make them louder, but they make a racket out of the box. I've worked in the bike industry since 2006 and have felt with my hubs than almost anyone.
@@robinmoens1840 Compared to other Worldwide established Brands it seems like a (relative) young and unknown German Company. At least that's what i thought until recently. But they pop up everywhere nowadays as it seems. I'm thinking hard about the Tyee AL myself...
@@derauditor5748 yes that's true, until two years ago I had only heard of the Propain Rage. The last two years I started to see them more and more. Last year I bought a Spindrift AL 27.5. The wait was pretty long (more than 8 months) but it was totaly worth it. A friend of mine has de Tyee CF 27.5 and he loves it so I can highly advise Propain.

nicholi rogatkins bike looks like a 26" front wheel with a 29" rear😂
Love Nicholi’s energy, he always seems so hyped for everything
Thats cocaine my friend 😂
@@renehlbg5819 dude has to be on something i swear
New tr11! In alloy none the less! Sick!
Good to Matt back at it!
"Please do not the cat"
That yeti is just so beautiful!
Good video. Id love to see what the suspension looks like when they compress it.
could we see a pink bike huck to flat vid with freeride bikes with 5000000 psi in the forks
Wow, they all got amazing special paintjobs for the event.
Der Suspension Express sticker aufm Elias sein Dämpfer 🤘🏼🔥
Updated TR11 ehh.. bring it out!! Stoked on my new scout and I’ll gladly trade out my Tues for a new TR11
is that me or Nicholi's bike isn't a mullet at all? The wheels look exactly the same size.

@@rl9810 yeah 😂
@@rl9810 It must be the lens they used for that spot. It also makes the Norco look fucking enormous!

i think color correction is a bit off but otherwise those bikes are SICK!
This builds are getting more sick every year
The first non dentist yeti.
The.
@@Sqwelch "These" would refer to the bikes only during this years event. "The" is more than just this years.

omg the cracks in hanna's voice xD
Sure Nicolai this is not full 26" ? :D
Why not kaos Bike?
I am surprised this guys run tubolitos, they have so bad reviews. Maybe they are good just for flying
Can't wait to see you guys smash it on Saturday!
Oi oi hold back!
When did the tr11 get an update?
Pancho. Never heard of him or his rims.
Long time Austrian distributor of wheel parts (DT Swiss etc.) and wheelbuilder who have their own line of hubs/wheels as well
reeds bike looks so tiny compared to macduff's
What about Daryl Brown's Whyte!?
guy on the norco is running assegai f and r, how does that go?
Boggs bike with the profile hubs is damn nice
That Yeti is so sick...Love the idea of the trailbike/downhill freeride frankenstien bike
What are those decals Elias got on his fork? They look siiiick🤘
Not going to lie the rear kenda on the spindrift looks like a carbon copy of a dhf
A drop of chain oil wouldn't go amiss on that.
Why didn't you do a bike check with Ike???
I love this and the every day bike checks on local trails. Awesome.

More bikes & riders please 🙌🏻
Elias Ruso fork brand?
I think its Dvo but I'm not quite sure
It’s a DVO onyx DC, he’s just got some custom painted lowers
It is a dvo. Tuned from Suspension-Express
ThanX!_
🔥🔥🔥
Funny, matt macduff runs freeride tubes for extra weight for easier whips while running carbon wheels
Carbon hoops maintain roundness while running lower spoke tension, not about weight.
What is the advantage of lower spoke tension?
that tr11 is such a beauty
Can't wait to see Rogatkin spinning again
Interesting to see everyone running sram code rsc brakes besides Reed
they use brakes?
More
what suspension does the spindrift has??
DVO Onyx fork and RS Super Deluxe - Tunes by Suspension-Express in Austria
200 psi?
Je vois new tr 11
2nd
So jao so
Hlw
My bike is sicker than all these bikes. These guys are novices.
And your brain is smaller than everyone else. 😂🤣
Same
Huh. Didn't expect a German Propain in there for those big Jumps.
Wir haben soooo viel gute bikes
May I ask why not? The Propain Spindrift is an awesome modern freeride, so I think it is perfect for Darkfest.
