I’m holding off on buying an ebike for a few more years - but the DJI motor looks impressive. I was wearing the DJI Action 5 Pro though.

@@TrailBikeMike I heard that the review of the DJI Avinox Drive System is very good, with DJI having a lot of experience making various BLDC motor controls from micro motor to large sizes.

I've not ridden here but looking at this video, I would agree that its suitable for cx / gravel.

Hi. I’m 175cm (5’9”) and ride a medium. The bike feels shorter than my Yeti, but I like that as I want to be able to throw this bike around pump tracks and the like.

@@TrailBikeMike Hi thanks for the reply. Im 1.78m I bought an M size frame hopefully it fits me.

@@TrailBikeMike what wheel size are you running, im keen to get med frame as 5'10" but noticed spec online, mention mediums frames are a mullet on the AM Ride 2022

@@TheHonestlySneakyGamer I’m running 27.5” on this, but I run 29” on my Yeti. I love 29” wheels, but the Commencal was purchased to be more of a toy for pump tracks etc. so I went for 27.5”. The frame fits 29” too though (the forks would need changing). I can’t comment on mullet - it think that is a new option for 2022.

Yeh, same with me. I did the kitchener trail no problem, and went to cannock chase the next weekend and went over the handlebars trying to hop over the first rockgarden on follow the dog. Luckily the rest of it was easier I thought.

I guess that is the issue. It makes you think all red trails are at that level, but some reds are a lot tougher.

No old MTBs anymore. I pulled the plug and sold them all. 🙁

Yeah, this was the only time I’d ever been there when I hadn’t rained. One time there was torrential rain and 50mph winds, which made things tricky!

Wales will do that to you 🤣🤣🤣

My settings were initially based on recommendations by ‘The Loam Ranger’ here on KZbin, but I’ve made a few minor changes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIqoloOZf7-WfKs Your dark shadows issue is most likely from using the GoPro colour profile which can reduce dynamic range. Max out the ISO to improve stabilisation in darker scenes.

Sometimes you ride into dark wooded areas and I’d rather maintain better stabilisation and deal with noise. It rarely happens though. I love 24fps personally. The motion blur adds to the feeling of speed.

@@TrailBikeMike Yes, maybe I should starting to use higher iso too :-) 1600 is not enough...

Thanks Hugo!

I still managed to badly bruise my knee even with knee pads on! Broken ribs are almost back to 100% now.

I'll try.

@@TrailBikeMike thank you idol 👏👏👏👏👏

Haha. Yeah. I think somewhere between 2005 and 2010!

Hi - Yes, it is a TLR. The weight is just short of 31lb with pedals.

Hoping to soon.

@@TrailBikeMike yeah ! Gracias !!!

Cheers Hugo. This is Queen Elizabeth Country Park in Hampshire, UK. They have a blue and a red trail and a few off-piste trails. www.hants.gov.uk/thingstodo/countryparks/qecp

Hi. This is from Superstar Components www.superstarcomponents.com/en/garmin-steerer-loop-mount.htm

Trail Bike Mike thanks!

Pumbabot its a Hope headset.

I'm too old to do that! Plus, I might scratch my Yeti! Seriously though, I wish I still had that skill.

@@TrailBikeMike thanks for aswearing. Hopefully publish videos in third person with yety. Thank you michael. Greeting hugo.

Donn Pass I do ride other trails. This is a trail bike anyway, so suited to all sorts. See my Llandegla video for something a bit rougher, but things look more flowy on a GoPro than in real life.

@@TrailBikeMike how do you like sb130 for flat trails ? And does not feel to much bike for it ? Im between 2 bikes Ripley v4 and Yeti sb130 as my second trail bike got sb150 for big days. Thanks

@@donnpassMTB Mine is a custom build, so started out as a SB130 before I 'lunch rided' it. The bike is a great trail bike - really efficient and a lot faster than I thought - beating pretty much all my Strava PRs set on my Canyon Nerve. Climbing is really very good. Going lunch ride didn't seem to ruin these qualities. It doesn't feel like too much bike to me, I like the confidence the geo gives - especially as I'm getting older and lazy with line choice. It isn't lightweight at 30lb, but not too bad either, I stopped caring about weight as it doesn't really make much difference. If I had a SB150 though, I'd consider a SB100 - the SB130 seems to be a great balance between the two.

@@TrailBikeMike thanks, i just both new Ibis Ripley V4 with new pike 140mm, instead of yeti sb100 and 130, looking to finish build it up next week and try on trails.
