Hi Chase sweet build! how tall are you and what is your inseam please ( in centimetres I’m from UK! ) can’t decide if I need small or medium - no demo availability in small sizes here sadly so any help appreciated . Many thanks
I can see that you are using BH pedals. All my life I am using shimano, first M52 and M540, and now M8100. On all of them I faced one problem, ball bearings (balls) chew a bearing race which is touching on them. Spare bearing race is impossible to get, inly whole axle can be bought and they are pretty hard to find. What do you recommand? I was thinking to get Look X track race pedals as they have cartridge bearings. What do you think?
Awesome rig, but the Brain tech. I was looking at the bike but going with the Epic 8. That rear shock goes out, big trouble. Is there a solution/hack for this bicyclestation??
Hey sick vid, per usual. Im also a Jesse, so there we go. Question in your Opinion- Im just a hair under 5'7 (seat height 70cm). I keep getting pointed to Size Small. Medium reach seems quite long tbh! But with Chase I see much shorter than myself, curious if in your experience you have a different idea. I am on the phone with a dealer for same exact size so interesting to come across this now haha...thanks!
@@bicyclestation One more thing - on the new fork, does that 10mm help quite a bit or change the characteristics of the Epic? Id assume better Downhill. also, does this new production fork you think offer *better brain functionality and serviceability than say the standard 100mm SL fork on the MY 21/MY22 epic (the fork from past few years on Epics)? Or just a lighter more travel fork...thanks! Trying to see if I should buy this now or wait for maybe Brainless Epic next refresh cycle. Crazy blowouts on them right now in Europe (and USA I've heard!) Gracias!
Leadville is so lame! I did it twice. Not a mountain bike race, not a road ride and not even a gravel race! I did it twice to make sure I hated it, and I do.
It’s not the most exciting event but I think chase really wants to finish it. I agree with you but it’s still really cool. We do like 20 races a year and not every one needs to be marji gessic
Super sweet bike, love the color on that LTD. Will be fun seeing the progress towards leadville!
I am French, I discovered you two days ago and I love your videos continue like this👍
Well the bike looks sweet, wish you good luck!

Need a follow up on her thoughts of 27.5 wheels.
Especially for shorter people.

The hack is to just buy an epic 8 haha
@@bicyclestation LOL!! That's what I'm going to do.
Let me know if you want us to get you one!
How much do you guys want for the FastTrack/Renegade?
Check out our eBay store for all the used and take off parts from the demo bikes. I don’t know if they are still available or not

I’m 5 11 and ride a medium with a 90mm stem. I’d pick it based on if you want a more stable feeling bike or a more nimble one
@@bicyclestation thanks man. Yeah sounds good. 👍 thanks for the time. Best of luck, I’ll keep watching the vids!

I’d wait. Specialized has a three year product cycle if you catch my drift
@@bicyclestation drift got! Thanks!
Hey how tall is she I’m looking at getting one

I’m a fan of the firecracker 50!
You're right, it's not a MTB, road, or gravel race. It's an oddball, a drop bar mountain bike race. Dylan Johnson proved it last year
It's a race against your self
