Good price, looks nice but a 70 HTA is awful
@ElevationEveryWeekend2 күн бұрын
@@letolollers3729 in my experience I haven’t found the HTA to be an issue on this bike, even though there has been a drift, even in fat bikes, to more aggressive HTA’s. I’ll even say that if using a fat bike for its primary intended purpose, riding in snow conditions, the 70 HTA can benefit front weight distribution and steering, especially if you have to climb in the snow. If you want to run it harder down hill in the summer then yes, it gives up some there, but I prefer an MTB for that. There are some fat bikes with much more aggressive 65/66 degree HTA’s and I think they make better dirt trail bikes, but IMO they aren’t as good in the snow. I also had the Borealis Crestone which has the same geo as the Flume, in the summer I added a Mastodon suspension fork and it definitely made the HTA and geo a bit more progressive which helped for summer riding.

Thanks. This is a great bike and yet there are few real reviews on it. I have the XT build in the Muddy Waters colorway. You’re right, the Ibis wheels are pretty decent, but I wanted higher engagement, so I built a pair of Stan’s Arch MK 4 with DT Swiss 240 hubs, the rear hub being the new DEG version with 90 POE ratchet. It’s great, and surprisingly quiet. Time will tell regarding reliability, but I expect it will hold up very well. And it’s way easier to service than 350 or normal 240. I just saw that Ibis now offers a freehub body for both SRAm and Shimano that doubles the standard 36 POE, and it’s only about $70. Beats buying a 300-500 dollar hub to achieve the same thing. I love the DV9. It loves to go hard, dawdles very comfortably, is very sure footed, nimble, precise, but by no means harsh. It climbs exceptionally well and goes downhill better than it should. This bike wants to go fast, so fast that I have to remind myself I’m on a hardtail and maybe better keep it reined in before I get into trouble. It’s perfect for riding lots of different terrain types here in hilly south central Indiana; loose gravel, packed gravel, clay, limestone of all grades , rough cut and machine made trails, even bushwhacking. I think it really shines on flowy green and blue trails and makes them more interesting. Of the dozen or so mountain bikes I’ve had, the DV9 is by far the most broadly capable. Also happens to be the most comfortable and the most fun. Pretty good package, eh?
@ElevationEveryWeekend11 күн бұрын
I do agree, a fantastic bike and I am still exploring its full range of capability. The one limitation I have found is the front tire, I don’t think it quite matches the bikes capability and I have over cooked it a couple times, so might do something a little more aggressive there. I am seriously considering trying a 140mm fork on it next year to see how that is, but it’s pretty damn spot on now.

is is true as many people suggest that trek procal (carbon) is overall usually quite comfortable. but I also noticed people having both (procaliber vs exceed) tested say there's no noticable difference in comfort. both are quite good in comfort.
@ElevationEveryWeekend19 күн бұрын
They are certainly similar in their overall performance. I will say the ISO Speed on the Procal really does help with the seated comfort compared to the Exceed. It's not drastic like suspension, but it is noticeable especially over the course of a longer ride.
@rocheuro20 күн бұрын
both similar geometries, similar reach and stack. almost identical angels. Wonder how they actually feel on more flat / less rough terrain. I also noticed Trek seem to go a BIT smaller than Canyon.
@ElevationEveryWeekend19 күн бұрын
For these two specific bikes, the Exceed is a medium (I went with their online size guide), but really I should have gone for a large, which is what I got on the Procal. They are definitely in the same ballpark across the board, but I have to say I still prefer the Procal and ride it more than any other bike these days.

I wish I could try both myself one after another. For this price bike shops should always agree to test a bike before purchase as well as of course sizing etc.

Hi Tommy. I was encouraged (by both Borealis Keystone videos) that you found the (e-bike thing) to be helpful with some aspects, e.g. climbing, as well as not detracting too much from other aspects, e.g. descending. I bought a Surly ICT in 2023, and I love it! I am aware that consistency with riding will improve my overall fitness level. That being said, I feel an e-bike option would increase my confidence to ride longer and explore trails I normally would avoid. Again, your reviews on this bike were extremely helpful with my decision making process. Thanks! Love the channel! 😃

Hi Tommy. I just rewatched this video as I have not yet taken my ICT out in the summer! I bought it in October of last year and at that time was doing a lot of research on winter riding. I live in NH and I am not familiar with many single track trails, after watching this video, I sure want to try some! 🙂 To be honest, I think I feel some peer-pressure to not take my ICT on summer single track trails. I am a 50+ out-of-shape noob, and it can be intimidating at times, when I feel “in the way” of younger, faster, pure MTB riders. A big reason I enjoyed the ICT last winter was because nobody else was riding, haha. But again, I would love to attempt tracks similar to the ones in this video. Any suggestions on “basics” for fat bike summer riding? Thanks! ~D
@ElevationEveryWeekend19 күн бұрын
Riding the ICT on summer trails will pretty much guarantee you won't be as fast as others on much lighter bikes, so I don't think you need to worry about that at all. In my experience, others are always pretty stoked just to see a fat bike out there getting some trail action, so I would encourage you to get it out there and have some fun, because it is all about the fun! As for suggestions, just pick some trails that are on the easier end of the spectrum, and ride them. The ICT is plenty capable, and the big tires provide a lot of traction and are very stable. The more miles you get the more you will start to get a feel from the terrain.

@ElevationEveryWeekend27 күн бұрын
It sounds like you have a 26x80mm wide wheel, which is a pretty common fat bike wheel width. As for your question, that's a tough one to answer, because it will depend on what size tire you fit (4", 4.3", 4.6", 4.8", 5"). And on top of that, even the same tire size can vary slightly between manufacturers. If you are worried about tire clearance, check the website for your specific bike and they should indicate the largest recommended tire size for the frame.
