It’s all good until you’re more focused on filming or your bike than controlling your dog. First three seconds of video would have seen my dog latch on to yours. Do your mtb if able to control your dog. ( holy shit dude, leash your dog, your level of not giving af about others is mind blowing. Put more time into your dog and less on yourself )

Inca is quite the lovely girl. I would be interested in seeing an update on Inca and seeing how she is as a trail dog and overall companion now at 4-and-change as opposed to 18 months. I have a seven year old vizsla as a trail dog and she really "gelled" at around 2 years. The difference between an 18 month old work in progress and what she became at around 2 was really something. I'm sure it was something similar for Inca.
@OriginalCyclist
@OriginalCyclist Ай бұрын
Yeah she hit 4 last month and has calmed down a fair bit. I don't ride with her as a much as I'd like as dry conditions damage her paw pads and I worry about really muddy conditions with her eyes. She's still a bundle of energy but I do more running than riding with her now. I might do an update video, good idea ;-)

You know,@@OriginalCyclist, I switched my trail activities from riding to hiking and I think that has been more agreeable for my dog as she has gotten older. It also extends our season. We’re in Florida and the heat here really limits how much of the year you can safely have your dog run with the bike. Maybe hiking can work for you guys.

I know this is ten months ago. I’m looking at this exact bike how has it held up 10 months later. And you mentioned the climbing feels good, do you still fell that way?
@OriginalCyclist
@OriginalCyclist Ай бұрын
Yeah it is holding up well. I feel very at home on it and it has taken a battering in Italy and bike parks in Wales etc and held up. Genuinely can't pick any holes in it. One bit of advice would be to get it invisd like I did as the paint is very light in colour.

I'm considering buying this bike, but it would be a big investment for me. My one concern is about the rear shock during climbs. Is there a setting inbetween fully locked out and not at all locked out? I'd prefer climbing with some give so the rear wheel stays planted, but not so much that it costs me energy from bobbing.
@OriginalCyclist
@OriginalCyclist 2 ай бұрын
To be honest, I never use the lock out on climbs. I don't think you'll need it unless you are on a steep long fire road. Its a fabulous bike!

He’s had a brief introduction to running with me on a bike, but he’s still too young to go out for a proper trail ride. He’s an awesome pup, full of energy, loves to play, but he’s still a work in progress. Genuinely can’t wait to have him joining me on my favourite trails.

Riding with my dog is a ton of fun, because I love to see how happy she is during the ride and satisfied afterwards. She is an Aussie and learned just by getting out there.
