      I think theyll make more sense on ebikes where you have a central battery to charge. Theb only thing electric that interests me right now is a dropper post but they aren't long enough right now

      I bought it bc I got a better deal for the GX axs than an X01 wired, ngl I don't see the difference, but I don't have issues with batteries, never forgot to charge them and they charge super quick anyways

  • @rustyshackleford6562
    @rustyshackleford6562 Год назад

    The end of this vid had me tensing up so much. “I do not want to go this fast on stuff I don’t know what I’m getting myself into.” I did just that the last time I rode and I got smoked breaking my wrist, snapping my collar bone, bruising some ribs and a slight concussion. 3 months later still recovering from the surgery for the plate that is now on my collar bone. Hopefully I can get over the mental barrier this will most likely have on me in a short amount of time.

      Yeah those were just logged from what I gather. But that the nature of timber haversting. Eventually nature will take back over. Most of these forests have already been clear cut and replanted already.

I love snowboarding and wanna start mtbing as my summer sport. but i say that to say this... i love watching your videos Phil i live thru these until i pick up a mtb one day xD and ive been living thru these vids for a few years now haha.
