    Great video, only been riding the masts since lockdown started, rode enduro today, slippy down the shoots. Wouldn't worry about giving the location away, the locals done a mass ride last year before they started the tree felling to highlight the trails and show the NRW how important they are to local riders, then put it all over social media.🤔😀🚴‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🚴‍♂️.

    I have no idea how you run ohlins forks or the conversion. I bought the conversion kit for my yari from j-tech and it was horrendous for bike park big hits and rough stuff. It was okay for pottering around. How do you set yours up?

    • @PinnedTV
      @PinnedTV  3 года назад

      We don't run conversation kits, we run Ohlins suspension! It's the best! JTech tuned and set up for us!

      Actually I've just watched a RUclips tutorial on premiers and I've been doing it wrong, should just be premiered very close to it going live.
