  • Today We're in Cumberland to say hello to Nobl Wheels. Since I last visited they opened up a brand new retail store in the center of town that I've been wanting to check out. While there, Trevor one of the co-Founders of Nobl took us on a shuttle ride down the Forbidden Plateaux trails

    If I had an electronic derailleur, I would be forgetting to charge the batteries and bring batteries all the time😂

      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

      Electronic derailleurs- creating problems that didn’t exist prior.

      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

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.

      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.

    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.
