    Steve's out here getting ready to be the Gary Fisher of modern hardtails, I think! He has his own signature bike, and is starting to get input into companies' designs.

    Steve, if you are looking for future video ideas, could you discuss tire pressures for hardtails and maybe some tips about how to dial in? My bike is a totally different beast from 20 to 25 psi, and matching front/back is touchy too.

    • @hardtailparty
      @hardtailparty  2 года назад +1

      Great video suggestion. A lot will depend on terrain, riding style, rider weights rim width, tire casing, but it's definitely a lost art.

  • @SnowShackboy
    @SnowShackboy 2 года назад +3

    totally thought they were built in CAN but given the price, it totally makes sense that they are built over seas. I have no issue with that, just something new I learned. Chromag's built in CAN frames are rad but way out of my price range... though I might have considered it if their warranty period was better than 1 year, which I think is pretty crappy for a $1600+ hardtail frame..

    • @rickybonn
