I am one of those scrap picker bike mechanics. My stock was always yesterday's model! So I have ridden all my life nearly free & I do love my old steel 91 Hard Rock. I use it as a multipurpose urban vehicle. Interesting video!

Not for down hill use! - Common RM. no wonder your in finance trouble

Did the 2024 version get better ?

Even more relevant. More real.

Black spacers on the stem adaptor

Thanks for sharing the review. It was very informative , 48 pounds is on the heavy side

How would this sitting position compare with the upright seating position of the kentfield?

Hey great video man” I just bought a 2024 dsx2 I see you have a dropper on there I know it’s 27.2 mm will a 100mm travel fit on there? Thanks

Love my 27.5 x 2.8 Boosters! Awesome traction, rolling resistance and ride. A side plus is they are quiet/smooth on the road.

So what hardtail would you recommend to ride to and from Fox and Op Schnabel?

Yeah, bit of riding starting at the creek bed, passing under Parkwood, and before reaching the Prue Rd bridge is so rocky even on a FS bike.

I ride my hardtail in and around Fox and Bamberger. Something like five to seven miles. That's all I can stand. Its a Norco Torrent A2. Great bike, but maybe i should have considered a steel frame.

Hi can you please tell me which crank set you replaced the square tapper one with?

Check for recalls.

Looks cool. Do you have the coordinates to the trail head? I'm in San Antonio and willing to drive there if I know where to go. Thanks.

Dude wtf you are hilarious 🤣 Subscribed!

Hi I noticed that you have replaced the square taper BB with an external BB. Did you have to face the BB shell on the frame?

Right now its 2400$

Did you ever do your follow up on this video? Thanks for this one by the way!

These look like the CST 1020n tires. They too are hard to fit and are wire-rim tires: run at low pressure the grip is like a Scotsman with a five-pound note; 45 psi and they are good for smooth trails and the road and especially good in the wet and mud, Thanks Cobra Kyle.

Lived in the mountain biking mecca of southern Utah for 25 years and still here, also lived in the Carribbean for years. Born and raised in KC MO. Did my first Norba race in Larwence in 93,,,, blah blah. MO is still the best when it comes to culture, food, and legit people. Would have never left if there were mountains and oceans back home. I'd be stoked to go back and ride. And, I think I'll hold out for the Super Duper Boost 200mm😎

This vs specialized chisel ? 😮😮😮

Do you have a updated version? Because now they're selling for 450 with 500 W.

I just bought the green Tyaughton. It’s on layaway but should be riding it this spring. The superboost the geometry and slack and a xl bike is just right for a 220lbs+ 6’1” guy like me.

as awesome shit

Im going to have to do 4000km im glad ive seen this

34LB! That's like 10LB more than my XC bike 😅

Hi there Cobra Kyle. If you had to choose only between the BMC and the Chisel... Which one would you choose? Let's say as a recommendation for me? Just a little bit about myself. I'm more a roadie than a mtb'er. But I do hit the trails now and then. I still use a 26' Giant XTC but want to move to a 29'. I've done races in the past. You never know if I will do it again.. lol Thanks in advance

No Kona ?

do you still have this rig?

What kinda bed is that?

🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

Hell yeah!

Now inder it didn't last you were riding it like a monster truck and literally destroying it.

Dismayed to hear there isnt a known fix for the wifi on start up thing.

Gold star for you, Kyle. Hope you're well, old friend

Do full suspension bikes under 1k

Im excited about the Kona big Honzo im picking up tomorrow. Thanks for your review of the Honzo - yes, it's a different bike but a Kona is a Kona and it's built to lasr.

Hi, do you happen to know what size lizard skin chain stay protector fits this bike? If you can beat me to the calipers I'll give ya a cookie. Thanks!

how long the bed how much extra bed room is there. like is it a tight fit sleeping. great idea camper van

Thanks for the video, you are funny the way you saying stuff about that ford , I appreciate it because I’m looking for a use one ,I’m 6’2’, , not sure yet what I want , between, connect , Nissan NV or Toyota LiteAce, or maybe a small kie truck then build something on it ,

Thanks for the videos, i have one question, what class is your hitch ? Mine on my toyota camry is class 1 so im wondering if its ok to use thise bike rack with 2 bike on it

I miss your content. Your van videos were really funny. I hope you're doing well.

Great video. I've done this on other bikes. I just went from 160/160 FR to 203/180 and upgraded to hydraulic line pull calipers from cable. Feels like a huge difference but good to see the actual proof. "Can't stop won't stop" are not words to live by.

I saw alot people now using hydraulic brake......i and my twin sister still using mechanic brake on our mobot ebike.....we been thinking using mechanical brake on our front and hydraulic brake rear.....or both change to hydraulic brake will be more better???

You said you bought the xl size? How tall are you? I'm on the fence inbetween a L & XL

W video!

Do you know if it is possible to swap xtrada 7's L frame with xtrada 6's M frame while keeping all the components of xtrada 7? So, medium frame of xtrada 6 with components of xtrada 7. Will there be any issues ?

I completly agree that Maxxis tirse are overrated. Knolly isn't the only HT with SB157, the RSD Sergent has this wider 157 advantage.

my 2022 talon weighs the same and it is a hardtail. that is a great weight for full sus with alum frame, but prefer the 2022 rein SX even though it weighs more.
