Cool best bits segment, you've hit a lot of locations for sure. :) I watched a few of your BPW runs recently to get familiar with it before a visit. Really useful 👍🏻👍🏻
Is this a Mega 275? Did you mullet it since day 1? If so, what fork travel did you have for this bike? I have a Mega 275 and I mulleted it after a year. 😅 it shreds hard and fast but I am concerned that the frame might not handle the stresses from the modification (mullet) I made. 😂
Damn, I binned my giant trance recently because of a cracked frame. I was maybe gunna ask, do you reckon even though it felt ok to ride in a mullet, do you think that might have contributed to the crack?
@@LaurenceGrey no don't think so, everything was done to spec. Nukeproof sold the mullet kit which I bought. They have this bike in full 29 and mullet versions.
@@krisschmitt4146 I got a welder to look at it but he advised against riding it like I normally would. Of course it can be done. But it won't be as strong again. Plus if u look closely and I didn't point it out enough. The whole bit is actually bulged right up, it should be flat and smooth, instead it's like a wave in middle of frame 😅
He's actually been on alloy front end with that one. Carbon rear swingarm only. Worrying two year life span, although the bike might feel it did a decade! I watched all the way and a fair few adventures been had on it.
It's a sad day! RIP Mega🙏🏻 You will be missed
RIP 🙏
But also yay for new bike day 😂
@@VanFamilyAdventures indeed! New thing is 🔥🔥🔥
That's a shame dude! But at least you rode hard!!
hey ma, nice video,! would you know where to find good prices on new bearings for this frame?
@@MTB-REP I usually buy Enduro LLU/max bo bearings from places like wych bearings etc

@@taureantuttzs9169 kept standard 170 form and shock. It's allowed to be mulleted as per Nukeproof themselves. Hope yours goes well 🔥
rip Mega looks like you lived a full life
@@dasanoneia4730 😂😂 sure did have a Mega time!

@@FlyingMeta ah ok, hopefully the new one will be just as good/better!
Arrh man that sucks. If you bought it from a retailer (except Wiggle / CRC) then wouldn't they have to honour warranty as its with them?
@@SEKTAMTB mine is not from them unfortunately 😅
Hello mate. Gutted to hear about your bike. I'll buy the rear triangle of you if it's still available. Cheers
@@structural-repairs DM on Instagram!
What a shame... what are you getting as next? Fingers crossed with your next choice!
Wait till next week 👊
hi mate how tall are you? just wondering what I should choose between a L or XL
@@Sam-iy6gi I'm 182cm, so looking back, I would have picked size L 👍
can I ask where is the trail your riding at time 6:30?
@@stefan1632 okeford Hill bike park! Check out My videos from that place 👊🔥
thanks for the like but that trail looks really fun wondering if it's in the UK?
@@stefan1632 I thought I replied! It's okeford Hill bikepark man, check my vids!
RIP!
You would think one way or another it could be re welded 🤷

I broke a mega too, Nukeproof is one of the worst frame brands
It’s definitely not nukeproof like the name. Why buy a carbon bike if you’re always worried about it potentially breaking?

I had alloy not carbon, hence the slow crack and bulging.
@@FlyingMeta thats pretty concerning, I wouldn’t want a replacement bike from Nukeproof after experiencing that, even if they were still around
@@Gk22632 yep, I got a different brand this time 🔥
