    I have been mountain biking for 35 years. I remember when dudes could shred on hardtails. People rode the same bike and got dialed on it, so you developed that true feeling that the bike is an extension of your body. There was a lot less worry about suspension setup, more focus was put on learning the bike, and people rode all the time. When we could we rode to the trailhead, rode, then rode home. I don't see that anymore.
    Sincerely, Jeremy

    Bought a Scout in the Black Friday sales. I have the contact points all sorted and the suspension set up. All I need now is the strength and fitness I had twenty years ago, when I was in my forties. That said, the modern geometry and 1x12 gears help, a lot, compared with my older hardtails. Looking forward to more winter mud and snow.

      I started mountain biking in the 90s and learned on 3x9. Honestly the 1x12s look cooler, clean up the cockpit and add simplicity but the gear range is limited compared to 3x or 2x and there are times I miss the front derailleur.

    I have said this before on here. But the thing I really like about hardtails is that they are more predictable. With full suspension you need to have the rear shock set up for what you are riding. If you have too much rebound you might get bucked on jumps and so on. With a hardtail you always have the same feel, which may not always be smooth but you learn how to absorb with your legs and like in this video, push your heels down into the pedals.
    I love it that you brought up pedals and shoes and how you place your feet. I see so many people with crappy pedals and shoes like running shoes. No wonder they talk about not being able to keep their feet on the pedals...😂
    I do love riding my full suspension bike and I have it pretty dialed, but there is something super pure about riding a hardtail aggressively!

  • @K.V.P14
    @K.V.P14 Год назад +1

    Sorry for the stupid question, but how do you get more grip with a full sus going through berms? Isn't that just down to tyres and weight position ? First time ive heard someone mention this ?? Great video as usual

    • @Bueller611
      @Bueller611 Год назад +4

      Because a hartail's rear tire will bounce off any imperfection in the corner making you lose grip. A full sus will stay stuck to the ground if it's setup well.

    I was told that you should have your knees either parallel or angled out rather than pinching in to help maintain balance… is it personal preference, or is there an “optimal” knee position?

    • @richardjensen3655
      @richardjensen3655 Год назад

      I don't think it has anything to do with just the knees; I personally like to be just a bit above the saddle hunched over in I guess you could say semi-attack position, arms out but not locked. Upper body for sure balancing more than lower.

    After about 3 years the last Keurig stopped working ruclips.net/user/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf initially was able to unblock, however eventually we couldn't fix. That one was a replacement unit sent by the manufacturer after we had problems with our very first Keurig. This works fine (lol, at least for now) however I didn't realize the water reservoir was so much smaller than our prior unit. With 2 people having one or two cups of coffee each morning, it seems like I'm refilling it daily. Otherwise just happy to have the convenience of pod coffee vs. making a morning pot.
