    Wow. it has been 15 years since i last entered BT with my Kona Caldera. Seeing your video, I couldn't recognize the route any more..... like I remember the first up hill just after entering the trail but now seems like it is no longer there.... nice nice BT.....

      hahha.... pancit already. if last time I couldn't go for a 2nd round of BT, now I think cycle up to the main carpark at the entrance will settle the morning ride for me.... hahhahahah

      I see that the trail also look a little bit harsher especially the single trail part with slight drop on the left and ropes...

    Love your videos..a quick question I am changing my bike across to a 1 x for the first time...I ride a hard tail so do you think a 11-42 cassette with a 34T ring is suitable for this trail...I’m still on 26” wheels.thanks

    • @RawEpics
      @RawEpics  3 года назад +1

      i think that's a good, all-round gear range for 26" wheelsets here in Singapore. it is simple and gives good progression through the range

      There's no harm in doing this to build up confidence with your hardtail, what the guy above me said, you can just walk what you can't ride, also get yourself familiar with the trail

      I think if you are a good rider it’ll be fine. If u watch GMBN they pushed a hard tail on trails much much bigger than the hardest you could find in Singapore, so yea it’s about the rider more lol
