Couldn't agree more, as a beginner I love Blue because they challenge me while staying safe and they also give me a chance to meet with more experience riders as well, kids etc

The trick to use the original flat bar shifter (to me) is to press the lower edge with thumb, and to "knock" the shifter on the other side of the bar grip with the middle finger. By knocking it down, it rotates up. You can do this easily because electronic shifter so light. The feeling is very nice. Forget about the rocker pad.

Just switched back from gen 1 axs to shimano xt best decision ever

Xt derailliuer with xtr shifter..... unbeatable

I think those set up woes, in addition to air leaking out slowly, pushed me towards a full coil set up. But I’ve been itching to go back to air to make the rig more lively in pumping and pedaling support. This makes it seem much less scary! Thanks for the vid.

I'm on an ebike and normally do about 2h rides, seems about half way through the suspension feels stiffer, is this due to pressure build up due to heat? I noticed this on my dirtbike when I had an air fork and recommendation was to drop about 3-5psi from where you wanted it to be to account for it.

Is it recommend to start with the fork and then continue with the rear damper or vice versa? Or should i do each part of the setting on the front and back at the same time ?

Too slack, they steepened up the headtube angle this year.

hi. nice jacket. can you post a link to buy one of that? hugs Carlos m.

This was very difficult for me to install. I have done my truck before... but this was not that easy for me.

Thanks for the video, I have a question. How do you get the pump off the fork with out letting all the air out when you unscrew the pump? I have a fox fork pump but it won't leave the air in the fork.

shifted back to cable my thumb muscles becoming girly and weak.

I hate to be that guy, but would you be willing to share your settings with the V2 Sentinel? I recently bought one based on your impression and a few others. I'm 6'-1" at 195 lbs geared up. running Fox 36 and X2. I'm getting closer, but not sure where to go from here.

Nice! Just brought a V2s frame in size L and chucked all my high end old components of my old rig. X2 was faulty off the bat so it’s in getting repaired.

you are chatting bollocks in this video mate

yeah, on the battery drain, you gotta remove the batteries when traveling to avoid wasting charge. I finally learned this with my AXS road/gravel setup. Batteries last a very long while if you observe that recommendation. Is it worth the extra hassle? I don't think so, which is why -although I appreciate my two road/gravel AXS bikes- I'm going mechanical mechs for my future bikes. That is, until solar charged wireless systems come onto the scene!

Thanks for a super useful video that explains things very clearly and concisely. Subscribed!

Seems like the only issue here were your long E.T fingers. So a problem for you. But a plus for your girlfriend or wife

Yeah l must agree and must say l don't like air suspension as opposed to spring and oil

Anything but a standard 26" 100% mechanical hard tail with a standard seat post is g*y

been riding for a while now but never really messed around too much with my suspension settings, once they felt decent i just kinda rolled with it. I also had a coil shock so once set it didn't really need much adjusting. i just recently upgraded to a new bike with much more customizable suspension (including the change to air shock) and after the first few rides was really noticing how much more chatter i was feeling in the rear, and diving in the fork. Watching your videos was hugely helpful for both understanding and dialing in the suspension to a point where now the fork is eating up rocks and roots comfortably, and the rear is staying plush and on the trail. cheers mate, definitely earned yourself a sub

You have successfully explained the one thing more difficult to understand than women. I’m going to try this same method on …

If you like these trails you should totally check out the mtb trails at Mower Basin which is an hour north of snowshoe. Absolutely stunning scenery, and fun xc trails that have enough rocks and roots to keep you entertained

Excellent video. I have never thought of the ramp up of air pressure causing a fork to ride harsh with a lot of sag. I think it is a case of running near the recommended sag. That said, I think forks that have independent air for the positive and negative side of the spring likely have more ability to be tuned to run smoothly with more sag. I have had great luck setting up my CC Helm with more sag but I never the Helm may be better than some of the other forks I've run for this.

SO what is the one trick!!!!

Shimano sounding like the pots and pans falling out the cupboard

I Still Hate Electronics Only Idiots would invest in those Garbage All sram did as a company is introducing problems and waste Sram Ruined Cycling into BS Overrated Marketing

Great video

late to this party ); Do any of your newer posts have a n+1 sram discount code? Because I *finally* got my first MTB and it has etap and I definitely will need a backup battery or two O.O

My thumb is having osteoarthritis. I really have pain while shifting. I hope axs will help.

E-bikes allowed for 70 year olds at DuPont?

Now let’s talk about E bike. We use to think we’re not old yet and not going to needed but was I wrong 😝

Dude! We had a great time riding with you at Mountain Creek. You're a real one. Super authentic. Hope to bump into you again sometime. 😁👍

Excellent analysis, thanks! 👌 I’ve got a question: 🤨 I found these words 😅. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Can someone explain what this is? 😅

I hope Sram did not kidnap you. Not vids since this one.😛On pc, looking at your page, it shows as private until I click follow, but I'm already following.

I've seen spy shots of Sram Transmission mechanical rear derailleur.

Curious if you’ve ridden the new V3? I’m on the fence between the Sentinel and the Ripmo V3. Since you ended up moving away from the Sentinel for similar reasons why I am hesitant to go all in on it, I’m wondering if the new Ripmo is the perfect balance.

Why stick to cables: 1) Easier to repair with bare hands. 2) No lost batteries (happened to guy I know). 3) No discharged batteries (friend of mine has been in a this situation twice!). 4) No requirement to charge the batteries. 5) Better tactile feel (subjective perphaps, but I love direct feeling of mechanical derailleur). The only true pros of wireless I've found: 1) Easier install. 2) Will work with bended 8 speed cassette due to per-cog adjustement.

Why using different angles and different microphones? This is not even a comparison in this case.

Needing an app to ride you bike seems so wrong

Thank you so much for this amazing video! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

Everything you just went over literally made me want your dream bike lol

debating between xt or axs i forgot ny next bike will be emtb so its already compromised by charging

Thanks this is excellent info. I'll watch it a couple time to grasp the idea.

Meine Erfahrungen mit dem Spectral 125 CF LTD sind extrem negativ. Der SRAM Flight attendant funktioniert seit Auslieferung nicht. Die Federgabel wird nicht gesteuert. Auch nach 8 Wochen ist keine Aussicht auf Behebung des Schadens.

If we are mountain biking here where would you recommend staying??

Where did you get the Fox fork sticker from? It matches perfectly with the Kashima(at least in the video)!

I'm personally a single speed junky but I think that you would be putting the battery in the glove box

Of course AXS works much better and is easier to install. But who the fuck really wants to change batteries on a non E-Bike? And also in the triggers?
