Been missing me some Nate Hills bike builds… 👊 Go shred it!!! 🤘

[@natehills9388]

It's been too long, ha

[@scottbraden14]

Just what we all were hoping for !! Never a dull moment ! Enjoy the new rig 🤘🏽😎

Great build dude. Hope you enjoy it.

[@seany2345]

Finally blessed us with another full bike build!! Always a fun watch

[@natehills9388]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@lukemiller108]

not sure which is more entertaining - watching Nate follow rowdy lines or watching him drink mezcal out of a tire. Also, 140 is def on my christmas list now

[@kresokresovski7515]

Yeti, please make more new bikes so Nate can make these kind of video gems 💎!🎉🎉

You never disappoint! I keep coming back for more build videos and Nate taking meat to the face! All jokes aside love builds as always! 🤘🤘

Nate, it's always a pleasure, we've missed your dry humor for far too long! Re ; bike builds thanks yeti for bringing out a new set of bikes so Nate can build new bike, have a cocktail or 3 have some chillies & tons dry humor FUN !! Great vid are we going to see you on E160 on a big adventure, that would be wicked 🤙👌🔥🔥🚵🏞️cheers Nate. 👍

[@matth8924]

"We're going to make the switch infinity link more stout and reliabile, but only on the Turq frames" Goddammit Yeti, I would totally buy one of these if you would just let us get a decent spec on the "low-end" builds. Its a really sweet bike, and I still want to try one....

[@natehills9388]

It's just linkage brother. Keep is properly serviced at the recommended intervals, like everything else on your rig, and you will be sorted. Can be cleaned with tequila.

[@ChrisCorless]

Love it. First thing I thought about when the new Yetis landed was 'I hope Nate does a build video' Seems like the Yeti teams made some nice improvements over the old frames. Keep up the great work, follow cam Friday is a religion for me.

[@natehills9388]

The engineers that have been working on this for the last two years absolutely crushed it. Props to those legends!

[@ChrisCorless]

@@natehills9388 indeed, some really clever work getting the bearings into the link and improving the various axles with collet axles, not to mention the UDH and threaded BB. Should reduce the maintenance required which means more riding!

[@joeschmoe303]

Always lube that bottle bracket….before insertion. Sick bike, great vid, best bike build on the the tube. I tried a DHF on the rear on my slash (because I saw you run it!), but didn’t like it at all felt super draggy and I lost it multiple times In the corner if I even sneezed at the brakes! Back to the aggressor and Ass guy in front obvi is excellent I like the idea of running DD instead of inserts (which I’m doing now). Really appreciate hearing your thoughts on all the products as you build, super helpful to wanna be shreders like myself.

[@natehills9388]

When I raced DH full time, I ran double DHF's for 8 years straight, haha. Ive literally burned through more than 100 in the last 20 years if riding bikes.

[@patrickbarrett5790]

That was an incredibly entertaining bike build! Cheers, mate! Such a gorgeous rig.

[@natehills9388]

[@pianoman84d]

Just wanted to come here to appreciate your DHF out back preference. So good.

[@natehills9388]

If I could only use one tire, front and rear for the rest of my life, DHF takes the title.

[@pianoman84d]

@@natehills9388 is that even debatable? In any event, I agree.

Ride it till the wheels fall off!

[@NDemanuele1]

Very entertaining watching Nate's videos! His next career move should be Stand Up!...LOL. He might get Canceled though! 🤣 I wonder what he thinks about Vittoria tires? I just put a 2.4 Mazza on my Ripmo rear. I feel like it's a good compromise in terms of weight and traction. I will see how they hold up, but so far I'm impressed. But I'm with you on Maxxis tires - I don't care about the weight either and get traction for days and great durability!

[@natehills9388]

I liked the Martello I tried a while back. I've been a Maxxis athlete for 10 years.

The charger 3 feels great. More damping overall and a better adjustment range.

[@kmiller959]

Nate, I am a fairly aggressive rider, albeit not quite where you are, from the Grand Junction area. I ride a lot and put in good miles. Since you are familiar with the terrain here, would you personally ride an SB120 or SB140 here as a primary bike? I am looking for GJ/Fruita area only assuming I have a separate bigger bike for park days.

[@natehills9388]

You could honestly go either way, I guess it depends on your riding style. There is enough chunk to warrant a 140 but everything is relatively flat so 120 would also feel nice. I would choose 140 personally but that's just me. I haven't ridden 120 yet.
