Love it! that purple is killer 💜
Congratulations Clint. Happy for you. Enjoy!
Nice. Put a silver seat clamp on it :)
She’s a beauty
I love all the thought you put into this build. So unique!!!! I'm digging the hell out of the silver/purple/yellow.... rock n' roll!!!!
Digging it! I just ordered a Öhlins 34 for my build and am looking forward to testing it out. I have also been a fox fanboy.
The problem with those dreambuilds, if something breaks or has to be changed, it will be expensive. I think there is no need to ride a bike that worths more than 3000.
Beautiful bike, needs silver Olin’s decals on the fork:)
@ Clint again - I understand that with SRAM’s new T-Type AXS Transmission, "Shifting under load is made possible”. Is it correct to assume then that shifting under load is NOT recommended with my current 2021 AXS Eagle XX1 groupset??
I always let up on the pedals when I shift. It’s just ingrained in me. I don’t know the specific data on the regular AXS Eagle. I think it’s a good idea to let up slightly when shifting
Beautiful bike! I imagine this bike will ride really well in DuPont, NC. How about some of the not so crazy trails in Pisgah? I’ve been thinking about a shorter travel bike like this.

What rise did you go with on your Race Face bar? What are your thoughts on playing with rise height with the actual bar itself and/or stem rise? Advantages/disadvantages of each approach?
20 mm rise, 5° upsweep and 8° back sweep. I wouldn’t go much higher than that for cross-country
Clint, what brand rotor did you go with and are those 4-piston XT calipers?
2 piston. They are Shimano centerlock
My spur is hands down the best bike I've ever owned. Bought the entry level model when they were super discounted to make way for the UDH models and slowly upgrading it with I9 wheels, AXS drivetrain and other nice bits. It's the only bike I've ever had where I feel it was completely dialed and 100% fits my capabilities and riding style. You can do so much with it. Transition hit a home run with it.
Couldn’t have said it better
What water bottle cage do you reccomend?
I’m really not too particular but for plastic ones the specialized Zee cages are nice. If you want to go carbon, there’s a lot to choose from and I don’t really have any favorites. Go with a reputable brand like specialized or elite.
Interestong bike and video.
I am personally using Look X track pedals and they are much better for me in comparison to Shimano M8100
Fun video. Have you tried 165 cranks on the Spur? I have last years Spur and love it. But now want the Transmission. Probably going to sell it for the new one. Also your cables look way long? Lastly, I know lots of folks love those noisy freehubs. And it does sound like quality but it’s not for me. I want no noises. 🚴
How tall are you and size do you ride?
173 cm and I ride a medium
Great build and review! I recently tried SRAM Eagle Transmission and loved it. What's the brand of the carbon bottle holders on the bike? Thanks!
Great build. I just finally picked up a very lightly used '23 Spur with a very similar build (except analog GX and Enve bar/stem, but with XO1 170 cranks and same I9 wheels). Coming from very similar Izzo, but this bike seems much quicker up with very little or nothing lost down. Considering going full 1 bike quiver--- century race next month (Lutsen 99er) and then some weekend enduro to follow with riser bar and heavier tires really the only changes. Thoughts on how nuts that is?
Beautiful build! I have always wanted to try the Spur frame. Your choice of tires “speaks volumes” on the type of trails you’re riding. I’m sure they climb great and are perfect for endurance racing but personally I would want the regular Rekon 29x2.6 rear and the Teravail Honcho 29.6 front. I would also have gone with Stan Baron CB7 rims. I really love mine, the only carbon rims I know that have a true bead hook lock design so tire seal and hold on the rims secured. Some tire manufacturers are also stating “don’t use on hookless rims” As for tires the only XC tires I use are the Rekon 29x2.6 or Teravail Ehline 2.5.
That is an excellent color and build, stoked for you. My interest is real piqued on trying those Ohlins fork in a 130mm for my trail bike. I have a purple liptick in that shade. Works works my purple chuck taylors.
How a bike that expensive still doesn't have full internal cable routing is baffling
one test I did with my axs setup. I charged batteries to 100%. then rode til it wouldn't shift anymore. then noted the milage. gives an 'idea' of what your range is. I also took notice when the led turn red. (bring a spare battery).
Great bike/build. Was looking at the geo of the Spur and it's very similar to my '21 Optic I ride, slightly shorter wheelbase and 66 vs 65 HA. I love my Optic but feel it's less XC than mini-enduro which get's overwhelmed on really rough stuff. Great build and love the Ohlin stuff.
I'd love to see what you thought of a Revel Ranger. Really similar use case bike.
Excellent bike! A silver seat post clamp and raw aluminum 5 DEV cranks would be a nice finishing touch. Just a thought. Otherwise, an awesome bike and I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Heck of a dream build. Modern 'XC' bikes are so capable now that I wonder if my next bike will be similar (since I also don't have the luxury of living in the big mountains).
Again, it’s time you move up to North Georgia (or Southeast Tennessee if you enjoy not having state income tax. Still though, the Spur is still the right bike for most trails in this area.
I have a ripley v4 and always wondered about the spur, beautiful bike!
How would the new Specialized Epic Evo compare to this bike. I seem to recall that you rode it recently?
Congratulations, this is a beautiful bike and a very decent weight considering its capability. Enjoy!
Put the Schwalbe tires back on. Lighter, faster, and more grip.
Lovely build! Great video Clint! I like the color and build choices, but dang that’s heavy!
It’s a beauty! Looking forward to your first ride impressions. Congratulations 🎉
She’s a beaut! And yes, a perfect ORAMM bike!
Get matching fork stickers would look nice too 👍
Great looking bike! Thanks for the overview!
Those wheels are fire! I can't wait to hear about the ride. Cool build!
Awesome, definitely qualifies as a dream build!
So happy for you! Dream builds are always special!
Greats video, beautiful bike 😍I have the Spur in aqua color and I am thinking about buying the stem and headset you used, can you please share the brand and the size ?
Thank you
Industry Nine ZS44/ZS56
Solid build! That looks like it's going to be fun!
Enjoy the bike Clint
Great build! I’m about to build up my own dream Spur in about a week (waiting for the frame to arrive). Mine is an xl which I believe is the same size as yours. Looking at your saddle and handlebar height; may I ask you what you inseam length is?
Mine is a medium. Inseam is 31
@@ClintGibbsthanx for the quick reply! Now I wonder why I thought your’s was an xl. Probably watched to many RUclips clips about the spur 👍
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👊👊👊👊👊
A 120/120mm travel XC/Downcountry bike could be the most versatile bike made. With a Gravel wheelset, an XC Wheelset, and a Trail wheelset, it could be the one bike that does it all.
Depends on where you live. Where I ride, it’s all steeps with very little in the way of XC style riding. Lots of square edged rocks and crazy exposure. Trails are mostly decomposed granite with no loam to speak of, so a heavy wheel set is often a better choice. Rekons, like Clint has on this bike, are way too light duty for this kind of riding. In many cases, you’d be best served by an enduro sled. That being said, I went one level up from the Spur and ride a Smuggler. I like that I have the option to increase travel from 130/140 to 140/150 if I want. Haven’t done it yet, though.
I liked your Niner Sir 9.
Man that was a LONG time ago. Nice memory!
Sorry for being off topic but what tires can make your bike feel more plush and comfortable? Right now I have a Maxxis Minion DHF and Aggressor both 2.5 and EXO 3C MaxxTerra.
The plushest tires I’ve ridden are the Specialized Butcher and Purgatory. But they have a fair amount of rolling resistance
Use vittoria tire inserts... it will pedal like it has 120mm of travel but have the comfort of 150mm
@@MikeesTexas Thanks you! I will look into those. Are these the only inserts you tried?
@@ClintGibbs Ok, thanks Clint! Were those the 2.3's you had on the Stumpjumper?
I kinda dont want to put Specialized tires on my Giant bike, maybe that's weird, I don't know.
Your handlebar is very wide is use 700 mm wide bars on my xc hardtails and i think a one piece carbon bar en stem would be make it every better in xc mode and more aero and better climbing
You must be old. 700 mm bars are like riding cantilever brakes.
@@edlorenz1552some mtb pro's ride them they work fine i don't really need wider bars i ride some very tight trails sometimes and also grave sections i am not old@39 of age.
It’s 800 but I may trim it down to 780 which is as narrow as I would go on a bike like this.
@@ClintGibbs that wide would not work her in the Netherlands
Only thing left is to lean that thing on something!!
External routing for the rear brake makes absolutely no sense!
Except it’s very easy to work on
