As a guy who has eaten one to many donuts in his life Barge's set up speaks to me. If I had a bike park bike that would be it. I wouldn't change a thing. Brandon's would be my go anywhere, do anything bike.

[@TimFromWales]

I love how he just let his guy set the bike up and just rides it.. I hear he's out tonight now.. Sad day him and Andreu are the loosest and gnarliest riders

[@underbikedoverconfident1142]

@@TimFromWales I'm pretty sure his mechanic is his dad or his uncle. I've seen videos of him setting up his bike before and he just looks like an older version of Barge. Which would explain the trust levels. Yes I saw the Barge drop and its not a nice watch at all. I'm gutted because I like his riding style and his run would have been awesome but most of all I just hope he is ok

[@CalgaryDynastar]

Mmm I dunno if I agree with do anything 😅 With a 190 up front and that tiny cassette there’s no way hell I would be climbing with that rig.

Don't surprise me that all those who prefer Shimano brakes at Rampage use Saint brakes.. they are absolutely the best I've ever had, now I use 8020 that are pretty similar but new 8120 brakes have't absolutely the same power... Michelin tires and tubes are common too that's interesting.

Semenuk riding EXO protection. How could this be enough?

[@Imbecillen]

63psi with 3 tokens, seriously?! I bottom out at 90 psi and 5 tokens at 1m drops and I’m the same weight as he is. Riding style, lines and landing angles are making a HUGE difference in what bike settings you need I guess. How bad my local trails and my riding style must be…

[@joeldirt100]

What was the size on the RM Maiden?

[@pinkbike]

Carson is running a medium.

[@nathanricetalks]

Szymon running double discs? how does that work?

[@mattpaturej90]

It's extra ventilation and temperature is distributed better

[@Ganiscol]

Hope has offered ventilated discs for a long time, so nothing new and it serves the purpose Matt stated. Does it make a difference? Probably not, other than flushing more money into Hope's bank account. 😄

[@mattpaturej90]

@@Ganiscol it's all depends. They might he useful when you : (especially combination of those three) - are really heavy - burning your discs too often - riding really long fast downhill trails Or if you need more modulation which means smaller disc that remains cool for longer. That's what I think.

[@ethannishimura2619]

Anyone else notice Brandon swapped to the older Code levers for his run?

[@Tony.795]

Yes, calipers as well. Kyle Strait also used the same brakes.

[@UncleFjester]

[@RockyPondProductions]

Better heat transfer. Aluminum between two stainless steel hard bearing surfaces

[@alexisastrie]

@@RockyPondProductions Thanks mate, thought it was two separate rotors with air between them but I figured that would make it worse and super noisy if they bent haha

[@Jon-nz3dm]

Hol' up...13:13 EXO casing??? at rampage??? brandon is crazy or he's just been using that tire for practice

[@MrSupermugen]

be with an insert be more than fine but depends on wheels too.

[@ScotHastings]

Good eye! It is only the front, but still…

[@Jon-nz3dm]

@@ScotHastings I thought the same thing, but surely with the massive impacts from 40 ft drops or whatever they're doing, the risk of that front tire exploding is still substantial. not ideal for getting a good result or for general safety. idk, it is Brandon Semenuk.

[@angelmtzmtz8799]

Great bike , rides smooth kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L I added a bigger spring loaded seat to it . Takes a bit of adjusting cables to get brakes and shifting to perfect . I've owned quite a few bikes in the past that were absolutely uncomfortable to ride and they always ended up as garage wall decor . I'm not seeing that with this one. It's pretty light I've only ridden it a few miles but I like it . As for the pedals falling off in the other reviews , the pedal arms are aluminum along with the pedal studs look to be also . I would not overtighten them. I can see it would be very easy to overtighten them and strip the threads right off . All in all I think it's pretty good quality besides the aluminum pedal thing .
