    Nice work all!
    I've got to get to the UP (I'm in Ohio) and try some of those trails out. The name "Eh Line" had me rolling, great name.

      I know, right? Eh Line..🤣 There's a ton of amazing jump lines back near where Bertha is. If you've ridden Slim Shady at Horns Hill in Ohio, you're gonna love that part of the trails in Marquette. They're way above _our_ level, but they'd be sweet to hit if we could. 😅

    At 3:06 you make a right turn to a secret line that has some small drops and then a jump into a berm in back into eh line🤘

      @@dukeofmtb Thank you! Most mountain bikers seem to analyse their MTB vs the trail before they ride. Where as I just ride my bike and ask questions later so the name seem to fit.

    nice progress . question, did you install the maguras by yourself? and do you have zero problems with the brakes? i want to upgrade my metaTR with magura but 50% are bad reviews.

    • @dukeofmtb
      @dukeofmtb  3 года назад +1

      Thanks! And yes. I have no problems with them. My favorite brakes, hands down. Most of the issues people have are from the unfamiliarity they have with them, on top of the sparse info on how to resolve certain issues. I actually have a video on how to get a perfect bleed with them here:
      ruclips.net/video/Bl8PChRadX0/видео.html
      Also, the way the brakes feel can differ dramatically depending on the levers being used. The mt7/hc3 combo is excellent. The HC levers and their variants are decent, and the rest are mediocre to downright awful(looking at you, plastic 2 finger levers). The largest weakness is that body of the lever is mostly plastic. The lower tier brakes(mt5, mt trail sport) use a cheaper plastic, while the higher tier models(eg mt7) use a more durable plastic called "carbotechture". It's best not to tighten the clamps too much to allow the brake levers to move in the event of a crash. Having said that, we've only broken a lever body once, and we crash a lot. But then my brother also broke a Shimano lever once when he clipped a tree, so...
      I'll be making a video sometime this winter going in depth with my experience with them.

    The only tip of advice I’d say is don’t walk back up the trail. They have made those walk up trails for a reason but other than that it’s awesomely to see other people hitting my hometown jumps🤟
