Maybe it’s the recent rain, but Chaparral trail is *really* torn up and bumpy, how are you able to ride it at those speeds without being thrown off your bike?! I’m an MTB noob still learning the ropes 🤷‍♂️

Sweet! So relaxing to watch 🙂

better jumper than me, I prefer staying grounded.

am getting a bike soon with that shock and 500 coil in black, wish it was orange but would have t order it.

Riding this fast around trees without a full-face helmet is kinda stupid.

I love my truckerco sintered metallic pads and I’m thinking about trying them mixed with truckerco organic semi metallics

Shimano 6 bolt on my CF FS in Thailand. SRAM 6 bolt on my AL FS in Oregon. But, if I was flying back & forth, I would have to change to Center Bolt. Thank you for helping think through

One piece can get lighter. Check the Galfer wave rotors. About as light as you can get without sacrificing stopping power.

lol best ice cream, ima get a bag like this soon and just full send to hawaii

stop pushing you’re bike uphills, and maybe some respect. it’s called mountain biking

Good info on the 6B and Center lock. So on those two wheels you have being same axle width will fit on the same frame (either the 6B or if you had a Center lock rotor). In other words that rotor will fit right inbetween the caliper. Reason I ask is I have a 6B wheel that needs replacement and was thinking about a wheel with a Center Lock as a replacement.

that black santa cruz logo is way better than the original.

Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

I am very poor man Give me the bike That bike is my dream bike My home is in India Will you give me the bicycle?

I’m sorry but your comment about no play in centre lock discs is wrong. There’s always more play in CL vs 6 bolt, the CL spline is not a clearance fit so will always have play. up to 2mm of play on a 203mm rotor, just rock the wheel back and forth while applying the brakes.

ITS HUGE just how he likes it

I’m surprised he put a saddle on. I heard he rides with only a long travel post

Alex Chamberlain is the gayest rider I’ve ever ridden with.

hi, what size did you pick and how tall are you? ;)

can you use better bearing like ceramicspeed ceramics bearing?

VERY HELPFUL

Very cool, thank you for all the information! Enjoy your rides man!

Is this your daily ride now? Been 4 years since a vid 😢

6 bolt is terrible

Do you know of any jumps in SF?

👍👍👍

Mega!😁

what size is your bike large?

Makes no sound 😍

Hope this short is a prelude of what's more to come! Always love watching your videos!

hope see you more vedio

nice what part of norcal?

Center lock is best (at least for xc and more xc race, fast and easy to install / remove)

Nice video. My second year MTB and now I have the Fox Factory 36 160 fork and Float X shock and definitely I’m not good enough to figure out how to make the adjustments so just got the ShockWiz and slowly getting the suspension dialed in… at least to what some programmer think the set up should be. It’s a good start point and as I progress, maybe I’ll have my own preferences.

I have a specialized roubaix sl4 with tektro 140 rear disc and 160 front disc 6 bolt. I bought a wheelset that is centerlock. Should I use an adapter to use the same 6 bolt rotors or just buy new centerlock rotors? If I do change into centerlock, will I need to change the braking mechanism, or will it not be affected? Thanks and great informative video.

Everything functions properly kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Nothing was damaged in the box aside from a decal on the fork. The decal was missing a piece of a corner but I ended up peeling them off anyways. Assembly is easy BUT make sure you tune up the derailleurs. Both the front and rear need adjusting. I'd advise going to a bike shop but I opted out and put in 10+ hours with the help of KZbin. Ended up fraying a shifter cable but all in all I learned from the experience. The Brakes work well but the front caliper needs adjusting or at least mine did because the rotor was rubbing against the pads. Make sure you swap out the seat, grips, and pedals. For the short run you'll be fine though. I've read that this bike isn't built yet for hard trails but I just need it for the city. PA has some of the worst roads and being in a mountain this was a great choice. Worth the investment!

I rather buying a rear bike hub with a six bolt rather than buying again adapter such as a center lock.

Really helpful and informative video.

what do you think of it. I have the Pink V2 Bronson and a 2018 Specialized Enduro 29er. Wondering if this would be a good replacement or it I just stick with the bikes I havenas I think they are great.

Fox website says do not strip. When reassemnling they preload with a special tool If you do not preload on assemble you will habe slop

2024 nomad6?

Such a good little bike! Love riding the thing, loves to steer with the hips!

Great vid, all questions answered and more! Oh, and cheers😀

It's only ugly because it's trying to be a full fender but also trying to be cool by being too short and useless

Its too short
