  • 2024 YT Decoy MX Core 4 unboxing, set up, and initial impressions.
    I finally decided to join the dark side and pull the trigger on an e-bike. After a lot of research and advice from rider friends, I felt this one would be the best fit for me and what I plan to use it for.
    You will see that I made a couple silly mistakes while putting this together, but also that I learned a thing or two. Hopefully this is useful/helpful for some of you.
    Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!

    Bought the same in black! Waiting for the ride wrap to arrive before I take it for a spin. YT suspension calculator shows no recommendations, what are yours? In 5’9 weight 200lbs gear included, L size bike.

    • @Ricks-Rides
      @Ricks-Rides  3 месяца назад

      Awesome! Hope you get to take it for a ride soon. I'll post the link to the suspension recs. Your spring rate looks like 480. The spring that comes with the Large will be WAY too soft for you, so I would get that ordered ASAP. I ordered mine from Ohlins website directly and it took about 1 week to arrive. us.yt-industries.com/support/suspension-setup/

    lol I’m selling my DIrtbike right now to buy one! I live in Bentonville AR and mtn biking makes way more sense

      Ah man! Bitter sweet 😢. Sounds like it definitely makes sense for you though in Bentonville

    Great video. I am on a yt decoy youtube binge until my mx core 3 arrives, same colour as yours. One question for you, do you own any other yt bike? I have a 2021 capra size L which fits perfectly (I am 185 cm), but I have ordered the decoy XL after looking at the bike geometry on yt website, yet I am still anxious if I made the right decision or not.

    • @Ricks-Rides
      @Ricks-Rides  3 месяца назад +1

      Awesome, hope it arrives soon! I have had a couple Jeffsy all in large and used to have a medium Capra (2015). I’m 178cm and the large feels just right on this decoy. I think you made the right choice getting the XL 🤙

    Nice video Rick. Funny, I did the same thing when mounting my derailleur then did some adjustments to try to make it right before realizing my mistake, now I’m not happy with the adjustments I made. I get some shifting creep on the ride. Are you getting rattling noises? I’m still chasing mine. Keep posting, I’m doing the same. Enjoy the ebike.

    • @Ricks-Rides
      @Ricks-Rides  4 месяца назад

      Thanks! Man, glad I wasn’t the only one who messed up the derailleur at first 😅. I haven’t had any rattling yet fortunately. Just a sporadic clunk noise when I offload the fork going off jumps. Not sure yet if it’s the headset, the fork, something by the battery??? I’ll figure it out.

    what'd you do about the dropper post lever mount shape mismatch?

    • @PippyPappyPatterson
      @PippyPappyPatterson 16 дней назад

      nvm see @12:40

    • @Ricks-Rides
      @Ricks-Rides  12 дней назад

      Yup I made it work, it just seemed weird when I was putting it together because my previous bikes had Sram brakes which fit nicely to the Postman lever like I showed at 12:40. I still ended up switching it out later to a Wolftooth dropper lever and selected the "Hayes" version and it works pretty well.

    Keep posting, dig the vid. I'm getting the exact bike in silver in a couple weeks!

    • @Ricks-Rides
      @Ricks-Rides  4 месяца назад +2

      Thanks!
      The silver is going to be epic! Excited for you, you’re going to love it. Hopefully you can put it together without the same mistakes I made haha.
      I’m planning on making some actual riding videos next week when I get some time.

    hi, I saw that you have a size L, can I ask how tall you are? I'm 176cm tall and I'm undecided about the size. Thank you ;)

    • @Ricks-Rides
      @Ricks-Rides  3 месяца назад

      Hey, I’m 5’10” or about 178cm. I think you would probably fit best on the large 🤘

  • @luckgod1857

    How tall are you?

    • @Ricks-Rides
      @Ricks-Rides  2 месяца назад +1

      5'10", went with the Large and it fits perfect 🤙

    Nice! Did the diagonal-looking graphics on the top tube come
    With the bike or is that an after market protector? Thanks

    • @Ricks-Rides
      @Ricks-Rides  2 месяца назад +1

      That was just the sun/shadow from my fence. No protector on there. That would look sick though!
