I've been bleeding my Code RSCs the SRAM way, but at the end, leave the caliper syringe in (take syringe off lever end). When the lever syringe is removed you lose heaps of dot fluid. So keeping the caliper end on you can unscrew it again, push more fluid into the system (give it a decent push!) and it tops up the system. Been riding firm/touchy SRAMs for a while now :)
Love the content today. Whilst i'll never be at the skill level (or be able to afford) all that nice gear; it is really interesting to hear how and why you make setup decisions and adjusting those based on riding conditions etc.
Didn’t talk about it here but it was one of your videos that got me looking into Ochain. Got one for my bike. Mad difference, love it! So cheers for that mate 👌
Such an interesting video dude. I can’t wait for you to do pre season testing of the new rig. Would be really cool to hear your thoughts on the different bits and settings you test
This is my favorite video you've ever done. This level of detail and little trackside Tommy hacks are so sick to get insight to. If I understood correctly, only sealant no inserts up front?!
Awesome video. Much appreciated. I'm a little surprised Jack runs the Centerline rotors instead of the newer thicker HS2 rotors, which supposedly have a bit more stopping power and better heat management. Clearly the Centerlines work well enough for a world champion.
it makes a big difference on how you ride and how you brake obviously, works great for him, but I'm pretty sure, not that good for brake draggers :D like me this is also his 2021 rig, in 2022 he had new rotors, I suppose
Nice vid moimoi Nuke proof tyre inserts(the most chunky ones on the market) would definitely save your rims at low pressures. But I know your not that keen on inserts... I have bent and broke a load of rims But never with the inserts in. Maybe in your off season put some in and try your hardest to destroy you rims. Love your channel brother you are the man!! Moimoi tv #1 🤙
Why on earth would you say that the Nukeproof inserts are "the most chunky ones on the market"??? I've found them to be flimsy and provide almost zero protection compared to Cushcore, or even Huck Norris.
Enjoying a chill walkthrough of race bikes. As you said, the details mean really little because you are the champ and we are just peasants - but its still cool mulling about it. 😉 And yes, EX 511 rims are used in the EX 1501 wheel set. I wouldnt be shocked if DT secretly gave you Pros a little bit better (i.e. special rims with a little extra alloy here and there) than retail. 😅
Top content as always mate, and currently tossing up between Spectral and Strive also. I'm 190cm and edging towards large frame also but riding much tamer trails than you so maybe XL would be more comfortable on the long hauls...
Oi Jack mate, got a part number for that 15mm frame spacer. Been looking for one of those everywhere but it appears you can only get them off canyon if you're a world champion... 🤙🤦♂️
Nice vid, great info Jack, as always. As a Strive owner, I'm trying to work out if the 2023 Rockshox Super Deluxe C1 shock will fit in the frame. The piggyback looks closer to the eyelet level than the old shock. Space is tight there on the Strive frame, so I am not sure if it would fit. I called SRAM and they can't tell me the size details. Has anyone done this? (I'm looking at you Jack ; ). I think upgrading the fork and shock to the new Rockshox stuff will make a great bike even better.
You would have to machine one up, don't think an angle set would work as it is an integrated headset. You would have to make a special one like the spacer
I'm curious why you never ran the Canyon Torque bro? Im sure you got to test one. Did it not come in a big enough size? The 2022 model is 2x times as long.
@@moimoitv_ Torque is a shredder bro! It can do it all and suspension is more progressive feeling than numbers let off. Gnar freeride, jumps, park, even enough pop for trails my dude! Hope you try it soon!
@lostboysbrando No Dig No Ride had the Torque just got myself a Strive... can tell you the Strive is fast AF! The torque is a great bike park and will save you more when you make mistakes, but that Strive feels like a 130mm trail bike
Cool! Are you still running the stock 60mm stroke in the rear shock or is the 5mm spacer removed so you get 65mm instead - meaning that you actually have appr. 160mm rear travel?
@@moimoitv_ the 60mm and 65mm stroke shocks are physically the same on the on the outside and they are both 230mm long eye to eye - the only difference is a 5mm grey plastic spacer on the inside that looks like token. So a 60mm stroke is just a 65mm shock with a spacer on the inside which limits the travel. Removing this spacers adds appr. 10mm travel in the rear of a Strive. Cannot be done on size Medium or Small frames though due to clearance issues I've heard, but I've done it succefully on my size Large after reading somewhere that your 2019 bike had this hack.
Just wondering if you’ve been tempted with running the new oneup 240mm dropper? I see how far your dropper is raised from the seat post and even tho axs is such a delight to use would a bit more room temp you?
That’s true, flamin kinks in seat tubes eh. I’m on the shorter side so standover height is super valuable to me. Big kevs daddy long legs wouldn’t have a problem on any bike I reckon.
I think you need to push the brakes slightly while there is no disc between the brake pistons then the distance becomes smaller and you have the pressure point faster when braking
I think maybe canyon should build i bike after your liking. No fork risers and such, maybe i buy it then.😎 Have you seen framebags🤣 Do you always run flats? I think you cool at tricks and stuff, i mean not running limousine bikes like you trricky guy....

Now that's a thorough bike check! Cheers!
Most detailed one yet!
That was fun, like sitting and having a beer, talkin' to Jack about his bike.
Haha, no reason to be so serious ayyy
I'm definitely buzzin about a video on the brakes bleed

@@LikeAStickOfDynamite does this technique work reverted ? like you're taking the syringe off the caliper first ?
Just spoke to Tommy, we are gonna get him on for a ring in video to show how it's done.
@@moimoitv_ nice 👌👍
Also very interested in that 👍 But no more TST for next season? Uff 😕
i watched the whole vid and it was the highlight of my day. Just enjoy watching you talk i guess.
Haha glad You liked it Man!
For anyone wondering, the mini pump Moir is rocking is the Topeak Micro Rocket AL
Proper in depth bike check, good stuff Jack.
Yeah we went all in on this one 🤣
Best bike check. Chilled out and zero bs. Happy days
No bs required ayyy
How to cure arm pump: do fingertip pushups every day like Stevo.

Yeah they are sweet. I just had some issues with it last year, hoping We can sort that out for this year cause I would love to run one again.
Thank you Jack for this perfect bike check

Super, thanks for sharing Jack 🤩
I try some of your settings on my Strive in the Swiss mountains even if I’m nowhere near as good 🤪

He's just livin life Mayn. Been doing the same shit for a long time, wanted a change.
Loved watching the video. Very good tips and tricks😍

New Model actually incoming in a few weeks. I've already seen it tested and ridden on the trails near Koblenz (Canyon HQ).

Yeah I would go XL for sure in those circumstances
Deffo interested in the Code RSC bleed, mine have a fair bit of throw
Will get a vid out for sure!
Would love to hear track side Tommy’s secret to sensitive brakes! Also how much do you weigh Kev??
It's comin! I weigh around 83kg
Yeah agreed! Would love to be able to make my brakes feel like that
Sick bike check
Cheers Ben!
Veryyy nice and detailed showcase. Is that Canyon bottle cage? 👀😁
Yep!
Bike is looking tiptop as always
Thanks Maynnn
Thanks Jack!
No dramas Tim
When you do the Tommy vid can u ask him about the rubber/plastic hose for brake lines 😎 looks mint
You mean the bit that goes around the brake and shape shifter hose?
@@moimoitv_ that’s it, I’ve got an ebike with shit tins of cable that needs hiding
#birdsnest
its ‘heat shrink tubing’ for electrians
Have you thought about slamming the stem and using a higher rise bar? That way you dont lose the reach from stem being high on the steerer tube angle
That was Canyons highest rise bar. We have 40mm bars for this year 😎
nice vid. would love to hear about the bleed🙌🏿✌🏿
It's coming!
Can you tell us your weight and height?
Hi jack awesome bike check
Will you do bike check for the spectral?
Yeah, got a new one on the way, will do it on that one instead!
Oi Jack mate, got a part number for that 15mm frame spacer. Been looking for one of those everywhere but it appears you can only get them off canyon if you're a world champion... 🤙🤦♂️
Oi Tom M8
Haha, yeah they don't make them, might have to machine one up
Reverse Components make a -0.5° Angle Spacer which is 10mm and goes in the fork replacing the crown race.
@@AlejandroGarciaIglesias There ya go!

Funny how i blew up the wheel the same way in the same corner the same day😂 Still have the full rim at home as well😂
Haha to much PAUwahhhhhh
where can I get me hands on one of these head tube spacers, or can I whack an angled headset in the strive to try some slack angles
You would have to machine one up, don't think an angle set would work as it is an integrated headset. You would have to make a special one like the spacer
@@moimoitv_ ah damn, will figure somat out cheers. all the best for this season dog!
i wish i have a bike like this 😅 sad to say i can't afford like this 😊 love u watching this my dream bike. watching from philippines
Hey Jack, what was that little part taped to the cable? Hanger I think you said.
Yeah sorry messed that up, it's just a chain link
@@moimoitv_ aha. Of course. Ta
Hi Jack, thank you for the review! Do you know where we can buy the 15mm frame spacer please? It seams to be very specific...
You can't buy them sorry Mate
@@moimoitv_ ok mate thank you for the answer, all the best for this season 💥💯🦾

If Canyon sent Me one for home I would froth it. Just too much bike for enduro racing though. Looks like a sick park bike.

Hey,
Which Tire Inserts do you ride ?
And do you ride it only in the back wheel ?
Thanks for the detailed review Jack, very nice bike. Do you run the standard shock tune from Canyon (LL1) or did you tweak that as well?
Thanks mate.
You have to be self sufficient - INSERT ROCK BEATING THE RIM :)
Haha, strap a rock to Your bike at all times!
You basically made Srams into Maguras in terms of feel.
haha never ridden Magura's so wouldn't know
or shimano saint
no trackside tommy?? whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Why? U and him had a good thing going on there
Yeahhhh, sad times 😩
its intresting hwo match LSC you are using
full on the rear
full in the front
When's the 2022 updated version out?
The wot M8!?
would you ever consider trying an xl frame with a mullet setup?
Hmmmm nahhhhh, I mean I could try it but pretty happy with the current setup
How come you dont run 190 fork all the time and removing spacer between fork and frame?
Just too much sauce for most places
From where can I find a head tube spacer for my strive like the one you use?
They don't make them sorry Mate. You could machine one up quite easily though.
@@moimoitv_ ok thanks for replying m8 and goodluck for 2022, you go and destroy them all like you did in 2021 😉

Just wondering if you’ve been tempted with running the new oneup 240mm dropper? I see how far your dropper is raised from the seat post and even tho axs is such a delight to use would a bit more room temp you?
He is sponsored by Rockshox
Yeah, better keep the sponnos happy eh.
Even if he wasn't sponsored, I doubt that the 240 would fit a Strive.
That’s true, flamin kinks in seat tubes eh. I’m on the shorter side so standover height is super valuable to me. Big kevs daddy long legs wouldn’t have a problem on any bike I reckon.
Curious what you think about tire inserts?
I use to run them for downhill, don't use them for enduro though. Bit of a mish if you get a flat mid race
@@moimoitv_ makes sense, I appreciate the response legend
Do you run a certain sag on your suspension or is it more based on feel?
Dam I did miss that. 30 ish % on the rear, and front is just off feel.

What do you carry on your bike while racing?

Hey jack, how much does it weigh?
Ouhhhhhh, not actually sure on that. And I don't have any scales. Will get back to you on that one.
nice ride, which Garmin do you use??
I use the edge 530
Does anyone know what the freehub is?
Why don’t you use rim inserts?
To hard to fix flats fast when racing enduro.
Did he mention his weight?
Farkkkk, I did forget that! I'm about 83kg.
I dont understand. Do you use inserts?
Haha, no I don't use inserts
Tire pressure?
I think you need to push the brakes slightly while there is no disc between the brake pistons
then the distance becomes smaller and you have the pressure point faster when braking
Yeah that helps too
