    Steve and Fabien it's a pleasure to hear from you (great duo) this is a mountain bike master class…

    @MrEtienne6657 10 месяцев назад +8

    As usual, I'm impressed by the attention to detail and the fact that Fabien can clearly explain why he makes each of these technical choices. I feel like I'm learning a whole lot from every interview I watch with him!

    Barel is a bike scientist! Has been since his DH days. You should get him involved in some long form stuff about bike setup. Could listen to him all day!

    Wonder if he has any special battery mounts as just about everyone on the Strive on forums is suffering from the battery latch issue where the battery is disconnecting, the design is extremely poor and the amount of people with the issue is insane. 9K bike and people are having to zip tie their batteries in !

    • @seanguild6528

      same issue with the new whytes… whyte have revised the battery latch to make it stronger

      Such a shame. I'm currently looking to buy an ebike and this was top of my list. Almost pulled the trigger last night but after joining a few FB owners pages and reading about this issue I've decided not to but a strive now. No way am I spending £5749 on something I'll need to fix before I can use.

    Wow, great vid! I'd love to see the Specialized e-enduro team's Levo pro VS. retail. Keep stuff like this coming...say till the 2024 season starts?

  • @vashon100
    @vashon100 3 месяца назад

    I wonder what % of "mtbs" sold are emtb vs non-emtb in the US. I really liked the openness and information, you can tell he's proud.

    Fabian must get special built 30mm synthesis rims. The only ones I know of are 29.5 and 31.5 internal width.

  • @user-ss3vd4se9i
    @user-ss3vd4se9i 6 месяцев назад

    Fabian seems like a top bloke. Great analysis!
    But I still don't understand the sizing of the Strive:ON. Why make such a long bike and then put the saddle all the way forward to "shorten" it?
    And elsewhere we have a 6'2" tester on a Medium, with the seatpost at a crazy height.
    What's going on with Canyon's sizing?
    Any idea which one is equivalent to a Spesh S3, a Trek M or a Whtye M (all of which fit me well)?

  • @simondavies1983
    @simondavies1983 10 месяцев назад +1

    A bit silly to suggest 2.6 & 2.8” tyres for enduro racing, it doesn’t take a scientist to understand rolling resistance. Iam a bit baffled with Steve’s comment, normally the chat is extremely good.
    But sooooo good to hear Fabian’s insight into the spec- I geek out over the wheel specs

    • @tmstriveon
      @tmstriveon 10 месяцев назад +1

      as strange as it can gets, but bigger tires roll better, and you will notice that on a BIKE.
      The only problem with fat/plus tires, is precision on the line.
      Best tyre combo I've tried, with great feeling and grip:
      29x2.5 or even 29x2.4 up front
      2.6x27.5 rear
      2.8x27.5 if you have some sand, or slippery rocks.

  • @周勇力欣

    I would like to ask: Is the front wheel 29" / rear wheel 27.5''? What is the total length of the vehicle including tires in c/m.?

    Lol. Little surprised that he didn’t know that he wasn’t aware that it’s common to not share certain set up info, tire pressures being a big one.
