Santa Cruz Nomad V6 Bike Check and Setup | Jenson Exclusive Build
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июл 2024
- New Bike Day! I was so stoked on the Evil Insurgent that I wanted to find a similar mixed wheel bike to be my next long term ride. I also wanted something with in-frame storage and maybe a steeper seat tube for climbing. I settled on version 6 of the Santa Cruz Nomad. With a similar reach and head angle as well as a steeper seat tube and a crazy deal from Jenson USA, I think I have the bike! Check out the video for what else has changed and how I set this thing up.

Looking forward to the review!
Thanks, lots of content to come with this bike and others!
Curious as well what you think of the Nomad vs the Patrol. Which is more of an all-rounder, better for bike park / steep trails only, etc.
@@ReedSchmidt-jt9kf They are both great bikes and I would hesitate to recommend either. With that said there is a clear standout for me. On the basic side the Patrol's BB is super low and I was hitting the bash guard/chainring in some very inopportune times. On the more technical side the suspension of the Nomad stays more active under braking so whether you're riding something very steep and need that traction or mobbing a high speed section and don't want the backend skipping around the Nomad is the winner.
@@NICADV awesome, thanks!
The internal frame storage! 👍🏻
🙌
Nice ride and riding. Great build. At least someone is building a Shimano SC.
Thanks, I was happy to get the Shimano XT
Would love a comparison to the Marin Onlyhappy when you get a chance. Thanks!
Onlyhappy?
@@NICADV Nomad?
I see you got rid of those galpher rotors. Man, those things were flimsy. You should try the vivid on it, I’m digging it.
I’ve been looking into the Vivid. I put the stock wheels, tires, and rotors on my 5010 I’ll have to see how the Galphers hold up.
Got some questions for you. How’s it compliment your 5010 within your quiver? How you liking MX vs even wheels?
It's a great compliment. I no longer have a dirt jump bike so for long rides or steep jumps the 5010 rules. If I had one bike it would be the Nomad as it still climbs and jumps well but can handle the larger features without question. As far as MX wheels for my riding style and terrain, I'm sold. If I was racing enduro there may be a case for even wheels but even then, with the steep terrain I consistently riding the MX wheels just make it more comfortable.
Sizing question. How tall are you? I’m 5’10” and leaning toward a large.
Looking forward to the full review.
I’m 5’ 11” I would think the large will be fine. The only issue will be what dropper seatpost it comes with. They specify two options for most builds on the website so if it comes with the fox you may have an issue but if it comes with the one up you’ll likely be fine. If it comes with the reverb it’s kinda a toss up.
@@NICADV thanks for the quick reply. Thanks for the advice on a dropper.
@@toHelluRide 👍
How much for the Zeb?
$550
hi
how tall are you？
5’ 11” or 180cm
You don't need to explain what a mixed wheel setup is to people anymore ,thanku
I still get the question regularly and since it’s one of the big changes figured it was worth mentioning, but I didn’t mention it again in the review 🤷🏻♂️
