#AskGMBNTech First of all love the show and I'm so thankful for all this great Mtb content. Lately I did a full service on my 160mm 2016 Rockshox Yari and changed the oil in the open bath damper according to the service manual . After the service the compression damper now takes 10 mm into the forks travel to engage. I used the recommended oil volume of 160ml but since the problem didn't existed before i ask myself if the previous owner used more than the recommended oil volume to get rid of the problem and if so can I top up the oil with no riscs? I'm thankful for your ideas. Greetings from Germany
My friend is convinced that changing tires too much will stretch the bead and ruin the tire. Is this true because he is so ademant that it is true I nearly believe him. #askgmbntech
I'm building a bike for my son. I got a 96 KHS frame, a FOX fork and parts of an old shimano Alivio 3x7 groupset. The groupset is in ok shape in general but the chainring have seen better days. I can either replace the cranks with a new (used) crankset for 1x or get new chainrings and keep the 3x7 or keep the crankset and hack (bodge) a 1x. An option if I go 1x is to replace the cassette with a 11-34, the current one is 11-28. I realize going 1x7 will limit the gear range severely. What's you thoughts on this? My plan is to make the build fairly cheap and use the money for stuff like better tires. #AskGMBNTech
#AskGMBNTech Hey Doddy. I'm thinking about getting into the mountian bike industry on the business and engineering side of things. But I feel like new game changing innovations in the industry are slowing exponentially. Bikes are so good now. As someone that has been in the sport for a long time and has witnessed the rising of all this amazing tech, where do you see the most room for new bike specific innovations?
Two words... personal preference. What works for one person doesn’t work for another. Maxxis? Schwalbe? Continental? Rode ‘em all, all have their strengths and disadvantages. And remember, most of the pros have sponsorship deals.... you wanna pay me or give me free kit? I’ll use it and say it’s awesome. Bit like GMBN used to all ride Contis.... but now it’s Vittoria 🥱
me im on a budget so i ride 80% on kenda and 20% on maxxis although now i stop buying brand new maxxis and buy used maxxis on buy and sell page. maxxis is so cheap back in asia like $50 bucks for a pair of 26x2.4 but that was 10 years ago. But for all my bike its kenda its cheap and reliable. New hit tires are so good but im not a pro rider also its very expensive $200 for pair and shipping.
@@Bianchiboy was so cheap back at home, 2.3 Kenda are like $5 some time ago. Now they became bigger and cost a lot in the states. Could also last a year. Maybe cuz it's cheap hard rubber LOL
Have Blake ride a set of XC wheels, then switch to an enduro set. Maybe where you tested the Mullet bike. Timed runs over XC, enduro, and some rougher terrain. Just don't expect the XC wheels back. 🤣
#AskGMBNTech Sincerely want to thank you for continually bringing it every week on the channel. Love the show! I live in Vermont USA and have to store my bikes in my heated basement for the winter. As bikes give way to skis as the snow piles up to 30+ inches for the winter. What is the best way to store my battery powered devices? IE: Garmin, lights ect... Should I keep them plugged in? Store them unplugged with full charge? Or drain the battery and recharge in spring? I know it's important to care for the battery and it's memory. Thank you for being the bike guru!
Nowadays most of the electronic devices are powered by Lithium Ion Batterys. For long term storage it's best to discharge them to there storage voltage. It's reached at about 60% charge. Then store your devices in a cool place like a basement or fridge. Just check the charge every month or so an an recharge the battery if it's charge is under 55%. Remember to charge the batterys only when there are back at room tempetature. If you do it like this you should have minimal capacity losses through the winter. Cheers
You should do a super slow motion video smashing through a rock garden and landing big jumps to see the deformation or the tire and/or flex of the wheel on the hits.
#AskGMBNTech Suspension setup question: In my Giant Reign 2018, I have a RockShox Yari with 160mm travel, no volume reducers in the air chamber, rebound in the middle click (9 out of 18) and fully open compression knob (assuming is low speed compression as it's the only compression adjustment in this fork). I'm 83 kilograms, 34 years old, and (I believe) decent mountain biker. I'm doing decent drops and small/medium jumps in the bike parks. Nothing crazy, but not a beginner, either. When I set the sag on the fork to be (recommended?) 15-20% (around 85 PSI) the fork feels super stiff and I can feel the vibration in my hands. It also uses around 75% of the available travel in general. Since I don't have volume reducers, the only possibility to make it more comfortable was to lower the pressure (to 75 PSI) and it does indeed feels better and tracks the ground better while using around 95% of the available travel. However, the sag got around 30%. While I don't see a problem with the sag being 30% per se, I do feel the front of bike sits lower, and my overall position shifts forward a bit. How can I make the fork feel more subtle (less vibration) but supportive at the beginning of the stroke to keep a higher front end, while making the most out of the available travel? Would going down in pressure and closing compression a few clicks and, if needed, put some volume reducers be a solution? Thanks!
I think changing the damper cartridge to the Charger 2 would make a huge difference. The volume reducers only affect the way the compression damping ramps up as you get deeper into the travel. That being said, a friend of mine changed the air shaft on his RS Revelation to the revised 2021 model (and increased travel by 10mm) and said he felt more support at the beggining of the travel.
So I've recently run (more or less accidentally) a double down front tire on my 29er Enduro bike and while the weight (+230g to a comparable tire with Exo casing) was not as noticable as you'd think, I felt the stiff casing and lack of compliance affected the riding comfort quite negatively. Personally I prefer just a little bit of squish with my front tire to take the edge off of sharp hits. Since it's typically the rear tire that gets beaten up, my suggestion is to run a heavier casing on the rear (DD or at least EXO+) and a lighter casing in the front. Good compromise?
I'm building Megatower CC and can't decide between EX471 and EX511 wheels.. I had EX511's on my last bike which was 27.5+. I loved them, but now im wondering are they unnecessarely wide for Megatower which is like 2.6" max.. Please help me 😅
#askgmbntech Hi Doddy What is a good tire for grass? I'm a roadie who got into mountain biking thanks to GCN and GMBN, and because of lockdown rules in SE France where I live. What I like (and actually the only thing I can do right now) is explore all the little paths which are either dirt roads which have been abandoned decades ago, or what I call "boar paths", basically grassy singletrack in the forest. I don't mind being slowed by the grass, I get enough grip downhill, but what bugs me is when I have to go uphill in the grass (and a bit of dead leaves) I spin out, lose grip and have to dismount. I see tires advertised for rocky or muddy terrain but not for grass and undergrowth. Any suggestions.
Sr suntour epixon air for 9mm x 100mm . It's internally changeable from 80 mm to 120mm of travel. It's around 180 $ on ali Express or on amazon it's 220. Don't get the manitou markor the rebound on it is crap. If your looking for a 15mm x 100mm the sr suntour raidon is pretty much the same thing just different axle and different stantion coating
For a light weight rider the tyre weight may play a significant roll, however for a heavier larger rider the same tyres would have a less significant part.
i run double down carcasses on my trailbike. made my bike almost 1kg heavier, but i f*in hate flats. if i need new ones i'll try something slightly lighter.
Helllo Doddy, on the subject of tyres I was wondering what tyres are best for wet weather? I watched the recent GMBN video but needed a bit more maybe a couple of tyre models and what compound. Thanks! #askGMBNtech
Hi Doddy, big thanks for great educational and entertaining content! Rear suspension question: I have a Horst-link rear suspension with 140 mm travel, and the shock uses only about two thirds of its stroke. In the horst link there is another mounting point for the shock. Mounting it there would reduce leverage ratio. I am considering doing just that, and removing a few spacers from the shock in order to compensate for the reduced leverage and keep the same 140 mm travel. Would you recommend doing that and is it generally advisable to use as much stroke of the shock as possible? Thanks! #AskGMBNTech
#askGMBNTech I'm looking at getting a lower spec DS Trail Bike($2k USD Canyon Neuron 5) instead of a higher spec HT since I've never had a DS and I really want one. Do you think it's a good idea to go with the lower end components for now and look to upgrade based on personal preference in the future, or save up some more to get the nicer components from the start?
Personally I would go with the ht however there are alot of things to take into consideration, for example ht are always better for learning how to handle a bike and getting the skills to ride fast and hard. I think you would appreciate a hardcore ht(ofc it depends on what you ride) with sweet components than a low level fs. That way when you want a fs later down the road you can just sell the ht and get your dream fs. Also if your new to bike matinence and overall bike care a ht is a ton easier to manage than a fs because of the lack of the rear triangle and the shock and all that. Overall you wont be dissatisfied with either however think about if you get the fs you'll have to upgrade which can easily run you the price of the bike vs a beast ht is ready to go, some ht to look at would be the ragley mmmbop and the commencial meta ht. Hope this helps.
What impact does increasing your chain ring size on a full suspension set up? If I'm not mistaken it will affect anti raise but by how much? Going from a 30T to a 32 or 34T #AskGMBNTech
Chain ring in.Theory wont effect anti-squat, as for the given terrain, you will likely be in a gear up or down on the cassette. I went 34 to 32, no diff to anti-squat I noticed... Choose based on.gearing.u need.
#askgmbntech I have a 2014 mavic crossmax wheel with a broken hub and I can’t get a replacement is there eny other hubs that will fit that special spoke
We've been hearing about the advantages of a 29/27.5 mullet setup. Well, in for a penny - in for a pound; would a 29/26 not be the ultimate mullet setup? Truth be told - I believe the suspension geometry and resultant kinomatics are the real numbers that matter, but surely a 29/26 evaluation is in order from GMBN, no? Obviously, the lower ride height of a 26 in the rear could be compensated with via geometry, but does wheel size really make a difference in the rear? If a 27.5 is good, would not a 26 be better?
I have a 2020 Focus Thron2 6.8 large size which came with a Suntour rear shock and if I set the sag correctly I am very close to max psi (300psi) but find it makes it very harsh ride on mildly bumpy terrain, if I reduce psi it rides smoother but uses 1/2 the travel just with my weight (117kg in riding gear) on it, is there alternative shock which will cope with weight at correct sag and give a better ride ... Coil or Air spring? Would the Fox shock fitted to the higher option 6.9, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. #AskGMBNTech
#AskGMBNTech My friend is somehow not convinced that tyre levers are necessary. He says a metal spoon works fine. I can't convince him so maybe you can? (Cheers Doddy love the content)
#AskGMBNTech Hi guys love the show. How regularly does one have to service/check the pivot bearings on a full suspension MTB? Also what are the consequences if the bolts that run through the bearings and pivot points are over tightened? Would the suspended rear triangle be hindered from pivoting correctly? Would it damage the bearings? Reason I ask is that I recently bought a 2016 Scott Genius 740 from my local bike shop. After purchasing the bike I've been informed elsewhere that the pivot point between the seat stay and chain stay have bolts that were marked wrongly to torque at 15Nm. It should be between 9-10Nm only. It is a common problem with all Genius and Spark of that design. The guys at the bike shop did not mention anything about this and I am afraid the bike came with the said bolts tightened to 15Nm of torque. I'm afraid if I loosen the bolts now I will be met with a sheered bolt and then I will not be able to ride until I get the replacement kit (which cost a lot of money). Scott doesn't seem to want to take responsibility on this. Please help, cheers
#AskGMBNTech Hey Doddy I'm looking for some downhill tyres but schwalbe is the only brand available in the place where i live. I'm looking for some downhill tyres. What would you recommend ? Love the show !!!
#askgmbntech Hi guys, I have a Shimano SLX 11 speed cassette on a Hope Pro 4 hub, and some of the smaller sprockets have dug in to the splines of the freehub body. I can't remove them, even with a screwdriver. How should I try to get them off? Thanks
Hi, I had a similar problem once. Take the lockring off an fix the freehub by turning one of the bigger sprockets with a chain whip clockwise, then try to loosen the stuck sprockets with another chain whip or similar.
Earlier I was looking at tyres for my first full suss and first build, looking in advance also I was typing this my phone died and the video said 5 hours, now 6 hours ago
#AskGMBNTech My rear freehub body only fits a 10 speed cassette. I want a drivetrain with wider range like 11-46 and have found 10 speed cassettes but no derailleur that can accommodate that. Can I use an 11 speed derailleur with 10 speed shifter? Given that the movement of the derailleur comes from the shifter cable.
#AskGMBNTech I have a trek Fuel ex Planning to upgrade with 12 speed shimano XT Crank set . Q: What crank set should I use M8120 or M8100? ( 148 rear spacing) Thank you
#askGMBNtech on a wheel set weight, does a heavy hub really affect the suspension as much as the rim and tire weight. Example would be onyx classic hubs versus shimano xt hubs.
#AskGMBNTech continental baron(front) and Kaiser (rear) or maxxis minion dhf(front) dhr2(rear) ? What are differences between them (price in Germany is the same) and what is better and how about other brands?
#AskGMBNTech can you get a clamp that goes on a dropper seat post to reduce how far it drops? Looking at getting the Topeak dropper saddle bag mount and bag and don't want the bag rubbing the tyre when dropped hence the clamp. Cheers Doddy awesome channel 👍
I think Rockshox makes some for the reverb. You just have to check the diametre. www.bike-components.de/de/RockShox/Enduro-Collar-Begrenzungsschelle-fuer-Reverb-Reverb-Stealth-p40351/
#AskGMBNTech This year i started downhill mtb'n & currently using flat pedals. Should i take the plunge to start using clipped or is this for more experienced riders ?
So you mean a coil shock with air dampening? If so yes there are many methods to achieve damping. Did you know one of the most consistent ways to achieve damping is with a vacuum and not pressure. They use it on the space station to exercise with. And why, well a vacuum is all ways the same force so no matter how much extra vacuum you pull it's still just 0 pressure.
#askgmbntech Hey Doddy, love your show! I am planning to upgrade my coil 80 mil fork for 100 mil air Manitou. What tools and spare parts will I need to perform such operation myself? I already have a set of good hex keys, but not much else. My bike has straight steerer tube, and 160 mil rotors. Thanks in advance!
Hi, if it's a new fork you will need a pipe cutter or a jigsaw and a cutting guide to shorten the steerer tube. Then you'll need a fitting crown race for your lower headset bearing. I recommend to go to a bike shop to let them help you with this because you have to be cautious with the dimentions. I once had a really hard time hammering it in on myself and most of the bikeshop will do if free of charge when you bought the crown race from them. Lastly you gonna need a hammer and a rod or pipe to hammer the star thanglede nut into the steerer tube. Good luck for your fork swap an wish you all the best.
#gmbntech hi dody I wanted to ask if I can put a 29 wheel on a Kona process 153 2017 it’s 27.5 right Now but I’m thinking on buying a new fork any way I broke my old one at the moment i have a 160mm pike for 27.5 and I think on buying a 160mm 29 fork and run a Mullet set up what’s gonna be my ht Engle it’s 65.5 so two questions
#AskGMBNTech Thanks for the great content, I noticed a rattele on the back end of my full sus enduro bike. It turned out to be the centerlock disc. The lockring is tourqued correctly to 40Nm but the disc is still able to rotate a bit from front to back on the splines. Any idea how to fix this? Greetings from Germany
#askgmbntech I have a standard shimano 9-speed hub with a 9-speed freehub body and I would like to upgrade to the newest shimano deore groupset 1x11 or 1x12, I would like to know if i can convert the freehub body on my hub to a 11-speed body or a 12-speed body. Thanks! Keep up the good work!!!
#askGMBNtech I have a new bike with an Float X2 performance shock. It has a two position adjustment being soft and firm as well as low speed rebound and low speed compression. Unlike the factory model it doesn’t have high speed rebound adjustment. Question - why would you build a should with no high speed rebound and how do you then tune it to stop you being bucked on jumps if you can’t slow it down?
It has high speed rebound compression, just not externally adjustable. Externally adjustable HSR is fairly niche, only found on top level shocks (so 'factory' for fox) and not all manufacturers (i.e. only very rarely seen on rock shox). I would see if you can tweak other settings, not quite sure where you're getting bucked. Low speed rebound adjust does have an affect on high speed too usually. If you really want to adjust the HSR on such a shock it'll have to be by dismantling it and adjusting the shim stack on the rebound piston and such things are quite high up the maintenance/tinkering scale!
#AskGMBNTech Hi, I want a new shock for my 2020 calibre triple b but it’s got an uncommon measurement of 190x51, Can I keep the eye to eye the same with a different stroke or do I have to keep the stroke the same?
#AskGMBNTech I'm looking at a CAPRA BASE 29 size medium but I'm a bit too small at about 5 foot 3 (still growing for a couple more years) and YT says it will fit people who are at least 5 foot 5, how will this effect the way the bike handles?
#AskGMBNTech Hi Doddy. I recently had some XO carbon GXP cranks given to me. The cranks can have srams direct mount with a 104bcd spider on it right now. The bike has a 135mm axle. If i get a direct mount chainring, what offset ring do I need?
#AskGMBNTech I own and ride an old 26" hardtail. I want to upgrade my fork but can't find any above 100mm for a reasonable price. Would a 27.5" 120mm-130mm fork work just fine?
#askgmbntech why are side wall slits taken so seriously it's happened to me once before and I just sowed it back together and added some rubber cement.
#askGMBNTech I’m getting a new dropper post for my giant reign 2018 as the giant own brand one is broken, my options are 170 or 200mm of drop, the length of a 200mm is 599mm, is this to long for my bike with a 435 mm seat tube?
#AskGMBNTech Hi there, i have a question regarding tyre and rim width. I have 2 bikes, both are in the trail range, one has 19c width rims and the other 23c. How wide can i go on tyres? Original ones, that cane with the bike, are 2.2 but i feel i need to go a bit wider. Also, original tyres are 2.2 but with 58 measurement when inflated and the continental trail king that i bought are 2.2 and 55. Does this mean i can go 2.3? Or maybe 2.3 in the back and 2.4 in the front? Thank you in advance!
Not all tires will have the same profile when mounted. Some will have more volume than others, some will look more square, others will have more rounded profile. I'm no pro but my opinion would be 2.4 max width on your 19c rims and 2.5 on your 23c. Also, consider different model tires: more aggressive in front, faster rolling in rear for example and both could be same width. Ask around locals and experiment!
#askGMBNTech Hello, I hope you are all good and keeping safe. I just purchased a Cube Stereo 120 HPC SLT 29 and I was wondering if you could take a look at the bike components and geometry and confirm it could suit my needs. I was looking for an all rounder as I generally ride trails with balanced portions of uphill hill and down hill. I currently ride a KTM Ultra Sport hard tail. Congratulations for the great videos!! I loved them. Stefano (Rome Italy)
#AskGMBNTech I've been wanting to get into mountain biking for some time now but I a low budget of 600$ so I figured I'll buy a cheap bike and upgrade it in the future, how can you tell if a bike is worth upgrading?
#askgmbntech what is a work out routine you recommend to improve conditioning, specially if I go MTB riding every weekend and the climbs are very steep?
#AskGMBNTech Why is it that mtb bars tends to be 5 to 9 degrees of backsweep but mx, hard enduro and bmx has 9 to 16 degrees. The riding position is the same formx and mtb, what is your opinion on backsweep on mountain bikes and bars like fasstflex?
Surely enduro riders should save weight in the frame rather than the wheels... I can’t imagine tht modern carbon frames are much more fragile than the modern alloy frames. The only issue I can think of is tht perhaps again with the wheels they are stiffer and therefore make the ride more out of control...? Also, obviously if a carbon frame gets damaged then a racer is out whereas they can probably get away with some damage on an alloy frame... alternatively they could switch to Ti 🤔😉
#askgmbntech hi doddy what would be the downside if the are no interference with the frame (hitting the wheel or seat stays on the frame) of putting a longer travel shock on the bike . could it give it more travel likewise what would the downsides of putting a shorter travel shock on the bike say if you are hitting your chainring on rocks going dh
#ASKGMBNTECH Hey , i was wondering what you guys think of the Radon Jab 10.0 2020 as a TrailBike (esp. uphill performance) and light enduro bike...even with its 170mm travel many tests say that it is not stable enough for an enduro but very playful....can a 170mm fully be a "playful" trail+ bike? cheers from germany
These guys will say what they get paid to mate.... they used to have a deal with Continental, now it’s Vittoria.... used to have one with WD40, now it’s Muc-Off. Pretty sure other than Donaghue non of them are that bothered for UCI downhill
#askgmbntech do you know any bicycle gear targeted towards carpal tunnel syndrome? For my computer I got an ergonomic keyboard and vertical mouse but I can't find anything like that for my bike.
Probably not the answer you were looking for but, I find using Ibuprofen Gel on the arms and shoulders following a nice hot bath works well! - or just ride less demanding trails!
Did you know if you fill your car tyre with air the oxygen leaks more than the nitrogen so over time as you keep refilling it it's becomes more and more nitrogen rich, as the nitrogen is bigger and escapes less. To answer your question though nitrogen is preferred as it's more stable in a wider range and as above it will leak less. But I'm certain air would be fine if you don't have easy access to nitrogen.
@@TheWebstaff What do you mean by more stable? And does it actually matter in the context of bicycles? I'm asking this questions specifically in regards to a shock IFP; I've seen people say that the moisture content in air can corrode a shock, while others say it's complete bollocks. If moisture does corrode a shock, why isn't nitrogen used in the air chamber of the shock too? But if it doesn't matter, why is it still generally recommended to use nitrogen to recharge the IFP?
I rebuild my 2014 Rock Shox Monarch rt some time ago and inflated the chamber with the IFP with a shock pump an had'nt any problems since. I rebuild it because there was some air trapped in the oil and the treshold setting didn't worked. After the service it continued to work fine.
I completely disagree with Doddy’s opinion about large brakes on XC bikes. Is the total energy you’re trying to remove materially different on an XC bike vs an enduro bike? I doubt it. Or at least, that’s been my own experience - I ride my hardtail just as hard as my enduro on most trails. I run 4-piston RSCs and 180mm rotors on my hardtail and am putting Saints on my Spur. Why not? If nothing else, the mass between the two rider+bike systems is marginally different, so why do we hang on to this notion that XC bikes don’t deserve powerful brakes?
#AskGMBNTech What type of tyre setup is best for trails covered with wet leaves this time of the year? Knobby wide mud tyres or something narrower to try pierce through them?
Hi guys, so I have a spare fork that was previously on my bike before upgrading, during winter what are the benefits of swapping it out in order to prolong the life of my current fork? #AskGMBNTech

I run the exact opposite. I may switch around though, the shorty is much softer compound, might give better traction in corners

#AskGMBNTech Sincerely want to thank you for continually bringing it every week on the channel. Love the show! I live in Vermont USA and have to store my bikes in my heated basement for the winter. As bikes give way to skis as the snow piles up to 30+ inches for the winter. What is the best way to store my battery powered devices? IE: Garmin, lights ect... Should I keep them plugged in?

Nowadays most of the electronic devices are powered by Lithium Ion Batterys.
For long term storage it's best to discharge them to there storage voltage. It's reached at about 60% charge.
Then store your devices in a cool place like a basement or fridge.
Just check the charge every month or so an an recharge the battery if it's charge is under 55%.
Remember to charge the batterys only when there are back at room tempetature.
If you do it like this you should have minimal capacity losses through the winter.
Cheers
You should do a super slow motion video smashing through a rock garden and landing big jumps to see the deformation or the tire and/or flex of the wheel on the hits.

Suspension setup question:
In my Giant Reign 2018, I have a RockShox Yari with 160mm travel, no volume reducers in the air chamber, rebound in the middle click (9 out of 18) and fully open compression knob (assuming is low speed compression as it's the only compression adjustment in this fork).
I'm 83 kilograms, 34 years old, and (I believe) decent mountain biker. I'm doing decent drops and small/medium jumps in the bike parks. Nothing crazy, but not a beginner, either.
When I set the sag on the fork to be (recommended?) 15-20% (around 85 PSI) the fork feels super stiff and I can feel the vibration in my hands. It also uses around 75% of the available travel in general.
Since I don't have volume reducers, the only possibility to make it more comfortable was to lower the pressure (to 75 PSI) and it does indeed feels better and tracks the ground better while using around 95% of the available travel. However, the sag got around 30%.
While I don't see a problem with the sag being 30% per se, I do feel the front of bike sits lower, and my overall position shifts forward a bit.
How can I make the fork feel more subtle (less vibration) but supportive at the beginning of the stroke to keep a higher front end, while making the most out of the available travel?
Would going down in pressure and closing compression a few clicks and, if needed, put some volume reducers be a solution?
Thanks!
I think changing the damper cartridge to the Charger 2 would make a huge difference. The volume reducers only affect the way the compression damping ramps up as you get deeper into the travel.
That being said, a friend of mine changed the air shaft on his RS Revelation to the revised 2021 model (and increased travel by 10mm) and said he felt more support at the beggining of the travel.
Good job as always Doddy.
In the market for new tyres , Cheers guys !
Another great show!
So I've recently run (more or less accidentally) a double down front tire on my 29er Enduro bike and while the weight (+230g to a comparable tire with Exo casing) was not as noticable as you'd think, I felt the stiff casing and lack of compliance affected the riding comfort quite negatively. Personally I prefer just a little bit of squish with my front tire to take the edge off of sharp hits. Since it's typically the rear tire that gets beaten up, my suggestion is to run a heavier casing on the rear (DD or at least EXO+) and a lighter casing in the front. Good compromise?
Does a heavy axle hub affect the suspension much. Or is it the rim and tire that cause the most effect.

#askgmbntech Hi Doddy
What is a good tire for grass?
I'm a roadie who got into mountain biking thanks to GCN and GMBN, and because of lockdown rules in SE France where I live.
What I like (and actually the only thing I can do right now) is explore all the little paths which are either dirt roads which have been abandoned decades ago, or what I call "boar paths", basically grassy singletrack in the forest.
I don't mind being slowed by the grass, I get enough grip downhill, but what bugs me is when I have to go uphill in the grass (and a bit of dead leaves) I spin out, lose grip and have to dismount. I see tires advertised for rocky or muddy terrain but not for grass and undergrowth. Any suggestions.
What is the best upgrade for a talon 2 marlin 7 etc fork...
#ASKGMBNTECH
And if so if possible sub 200€ fork
Sr suntour epixon air for 9mm x 100mm . It's internally changeable from 80 mm to 120mm of travel. It's around 180 $ on ali Express or on amazon it's 220. Don't get the manitou markor the rebound on it is crap. If your looking for a 15mm x 100mm the sr suntour raidon is pretty much the same thing just different axle and different stantion coating
For a light weight rider the tyre weight may play a significant roll, however for a heavier larger rider the same tyres would have a less significant part.
i run double down carcasses on my trailbike. made my bike almost 1kg heavier, but i f*in hate flats. if i need new ones i'll try something slightly lighter.
Helllo Doddy, on the subject of tyres I was wondering what tyres are best for wet weather? I watched the recent GMBN video but needed a bit more maybe a couple of tyre models and what compound. Thanks! #askGMBNtech
Hi Doddy, big thanks for great educational and entertaining content!
Rear suspension question:
I have a Horst-link rear suspension with 140 mm travel, and the shock uses only about two thirds of its stroke. In the horst link there is another mounting point for the shock. Mounting it there would reduce leverage ratio. I am considering doing just that, and removing a few spacers from the shock in order to compensate for the reduced leverage and keep the same 140 mm travel.
Would you recommend doing that and is it generally advisable to use as much stroke of the shock as possible? Thanks!

#askGMBNTech I'm looking at getting a lower spec DS Trail Bike($2k USD Canyon Neuron 5) instead of a higher spec HT since I've never had a DS and I really want one. Do you think it's a good idea to go with the lower end components for now and look to upgrade based on personal preference in the future, or save up some more to get the nicer components from the start?
I would buy it now and then get the parts you need
Personally I would go with the ht however there are alot of things to take into consideration, for example ht are always better for learning how to handle a bike and getting the skills to ride fast and hard. I think you would appreciate a hardcore ht(ofc it depends on what you ride) with sweet components than a low level fs. That way when you want a fs later down the road you can just sell the ht and get your dream fs. Also if your new to bike matinence and overall bike care a ht is a ton easier to manage than a fs because of the lack of the rear triangle and the shock and all that. Overall you wont be dissatisfied with either however think about if you get the fs you'll have to upgrade which can easily run you the price of the bike vs a beast ht is ready to go, some ht to look at would be the ragley mmmbop and the commencial meta ht.
Hope this helps.

What impact does increasing your chain ring size on a full suspension set up? If I'm not mistaken it will affect anti raise but by how much? Going from a 30T to a 32 or 34T #AskGMBNTech
Chain ring in.Theory wont effect anti-squat, as for the given terrain, you will likely be in a gear up or down on the cassette.

We've been hearing about the advantages of a 29/27.5 mullet setup. Well, in for a penny - in for a pound; would a 29/26 not be the ultimate mullet setup? Truth be told - I believe the suspension geometry and resultant kinomatics are the real numbers that matter, but surely a 29/26 evaluation is in order from GMBN, no? Obviously, the lower ride height of a 26 in the rear could be compensated with via geometry, but does wheel size really make a difference in the rear? If a 27.5 is good, would not a 26 be better?
I have a 2020 Focus Thron2 6.8 large size which came with a Suntour rear shock and if I set the sag correctly I am very close to max psi (300psi) but find it makes it very harsh ride on mildly bumpy terrain, if I reduce psi it rides smoother but uses 1/2 the travel just with my weight (117kg in riding gear) on it, is there alternative shock which will cope with weight at correct sag and give a better ride ... Coil or Air spring? Would the Fox shock fitted to the higher option 6.9, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. #AskGMBNTech

Hi guys love the show. How regularly does one have to service/check the pivot bearings on a full suspension MTB? Also what are the consequences if the bolts that run through the bearings and pivot points are over tightened? Would the suspended rear triangle be hindered from pivoting correctly? Would it damage the bearings?
Reason I ask is that I recently bought a 2016 Scott Genius 740 from my local bike shop. After purchasing the bike I've been informed elsewhere that the pivot point between the seat stay and chain stay have bolts that were marked wrongly to torque at 15Nm. It should be between 9-10Nm only. It is a common problem with all Genius and Spark of that design.
The guys at the bike shop did not mention anything about this and I am afraid the bike came with the said bolts tightened to 15Nm of torque. I'm afraid if I loosen the bolts now I will be met with a sheered bolt and then I will not be able to ride until I get the replacement kit (which cost a lot of money). Scott doesn't seem to want to take responsibility on this. Please help, cheers

#AskGMBNTech is there such thing as a coil shock that you can put air in? If yes how does it work?
So you mean a coil shock with air dampening?
If so yes there are many methods to achieve damping.
Did you know one of the most consistent ways to achieve damping is with a vacuum and not pressure.
They use it on the space station to exercise with.
And why, well a vacuum is all ways the same force so no matter how much extra vacuum you pull it's still just 0 pressure.

Hey Doddy, love your show!
I am planning to upgrade my coil 80 mil fork for 100 mil air Manitou. What tools and spare parts will I need to perform such operation myself? I already have a set of good hex keys, but not much else. My bike has straight steerer tube, and 160 mil rotors.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
if it's a new fork you will need a pipe cutter or a jigsaw and a cutting guide to shorten the steerer tube.
Then you'll need a fitting crown race for your lower headset bearing.
I recommend to go to a bike shop to let them help you with this because you have to be cautious with the dimentions.
I once had a really hard time hammering it in on myself and most of the bikeshop will do if free of charge when you bought the crown race from them.
Lastly you gonna need a hammer and a rod or pipe to hammer the star thanglede nut into the steerer tube.
Good luck for your fork swap an wish you all the best.

#askGMBNtech I have a new bike with an Float X2 performance shock. It has a two position adjustment being soft and firm as well as low speed rebound and low speed compression. Unlike the factory model it doesn’t have high speed rebound adjustment. Question - why would you build a should with no high speed rebound and how do you then tune it to stop you being bucked on jumps if you can’t slow it down?
It has high speed rebound compression, just not externally adjustable. Externally adjustable HSR is fairly niche, only found on top level shocks (so 'factory' for fox) and not all manufacturers (i.e. only very rarely seen on rock shox). I would see if you can tweak other settings, not quite sure where you're getting bucked. Low speed rebound adjust does have an affect on high speed too usually.
If you really want to adjust the HSR on such a shock it'll have to be by dismantling it and adjusting the shim stack on the rebound piston and such things are quite high up the maintenance/tinkering scale!

#AskGMBNTech Hi there, i have a question regarding tyre and rim width. I have 2 bikes, both are in the trail range, one has 19c width rims and the other 23c. How wide can i go on tyres? Original ones, that cane with the bike, are 2.2 but i feel i need to go a bit wider. Also, original tyres are 2.2 but with 58 measurement when inflated and the continental trail king that i bought are 2.2 and 55. Does this mean i can go 2.3? Or maybe 2.3 in the back and 2.4 in the front? Thank you in advance!
Not all tires will have the same profile when mounted. Some will have more volume than others, some will look more square, others will have more rounded profile. I'm no pro but my opinion would be 2.4 max width on your 19c rims and 2.5 on your 23c. Also, consider different model tires: more aggressive in front, faster rolling in rear for example and both could be same width. Ask around locals and experiment!

#AskGMBNTech What are the diffrient types of bearings in mtb pedals and what is the best type to get?
Surely enduro riders should save weight in the frame rather than the wheels... I can’t imagine tht modern carbon frames are much more fragile than the modern alloy frames. The only issue I can think of is tht perhaps again with the wheels they are stiffer and therefore make the ride more out of control...? Also, obviously if a carbon frame gets damaged then a racer is out whereas they can probably get away with some damage on an alloy frame... alternatively they could switch to Ti 🤔😉
#askgmbntech hi doddy what would be the downside if the are no interference with the frame (hitting the wheel or seat stays on the frame) of putting a longer travel shock on the bike . could it give it more travel likewise what would the downsides of putting a shorter travel shock on the bike say if you are hitting your chainring on rocks going dh

#AskGMBNTech is it necessary to use nitrogen for a shock IFP recharge? What are the benefits of using nitrogen instead of just air?
Did you know if you fill your car tyre with air the oxygen leaks more than the nitrogen so over time as you keep refilling it it's becomes more and more nitrogen rich, as the nitrogen is bigger and escapes less.
To answer your question though nitrogen is preferred as it's more stable in a wider range and as above it will leak less.
But I'm certain air would be fine if you don't have easy access to nitrogen.
@@TheWebstaff What do you mean by more stable? And does it actually matter in the context of bicycles? I'm asking this questions specifically in regards to a shock IFP; I've seen people say that the moisture content in air can corrode a shock, while others say it's complete bollocks.
If moisture does corrode a shock, why isn't nitrogen used in the air chamber of the shock too? But if it doesn't matter, why is it still generally recommended to use nitrogen to recharge the IFP?
I rebuild my 2014 Rock Shox Monarch rt some time ago and inflated the chamber with the IFP with a shock pump an had'nt any problems since.
I rebuild it because there was some air trapped in the oil and the treshold setting didn't worked. After the service it continued to work fine.
#AskGMBNTech Which are better for rocky terrain, narrow tyres or wide tyres. If one them is better how wide?
I completely disagree with Doddy’s opinion about large brakes on XC bikes. Is the total energy you’re trying to remove materially different on an XC bike vs an enduro bike? I doubt it. Or at least, that’s been my own experience - I ride my hardtail just as hard as my enduro on most trails. I run 4-piston RSCs and 180mm rotors on my hardtail and am putting Saints on my Spur. Why not?
If nothing else, the mass between the two rider+bike systems is marginally different, so why do we hang on to this notion that XC bikes don’t deserve powerful brakes?
