  • Tom Bradshaw races Psychosis; one of the gnarliest, steepest, and longest DH tracks around on his trusty hardtail as an ode to the original hardtail class. Can his hands and legs hold on long enough to make it to the bottom? Watch and find out.

      I somehow transitioned to not wearing gloves anymore.
      A few years ago I used to put on gloves when I went to town to get breakfast.
      Nowadays I ride bikepark without gloves.
      I don’t know how or when it exactly happened, but I feel comfortable and confident without gloves now.

    This guy is crazy as all get out, never not hooting and hollering. Curious if he did anything with his fork because of the steepness of the trails? To me looked like he was running about 50% into the fork travel most of the time, could have pumped up the fork another 20PSI and added one or two volume spacers to help it sit higher in the travel and keep the HA closer to it's designed static angle.

    i ride my local trails (which are mostly tech) with my 23 kg E hardtail and i get better and better by day. You just learn more with a hardtail. You learn how to ride smooth avoiding little bumps and alot more. And because of that i am able too keep up with full suspension bikes cause i know every bump of the trail and know the perfect line to ride smoothly. Yes it is less comfortable, but you get more experience and more feelings over your bike than on a full suspension.

    Great bike , rides smooth ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L I added a bigger spring loaded seat to it . Takes a bit of adjusting cables to get brakes and shifting to perfect . I've owned quite a few bikes in the past that were absolutely uncomfortable to ride and they always ended up as garage wall decor . I'm not seeing that with this one. It's pretty light I've only ridden it a few miles but I like it . As for the pedals falling off in the other reviews , the pedal arms are aluminum along with the pedal studs look to be also . I would not overtighten them. I can see it would be very easy to overtighten them and strip the threads right off . All in all I think it's pretty good quality besides the aluminum pedal thing .
