FULL NERD BIKE CHECK ON MY 2022 DIRT JUMP MTB!!

[@glennbroad2543]

This is great! There is a lack of info on setups, it’s very helpful to see what people who do it all day long use, can you do one on your enduro? tyre pressures full sus setup etc?, would be great as it’s so hard to find all this info

[@AxlMetcalf]

Why would you want those details though? His setup won’t work for you... That’s like me asking loic bruni what his rear shock build is..... doesn’t mean F all when you ain’t him So it’s kinda pointless

[@janetcharlish6483]

@@AxlMetcalf right? Especially since it varies completely with different suspension and I can guarantee Matt runs his suspension pretty stiff because he’s used to a dirt jumper

[@AxlMetcalf]

@@janetcharlish6483 I may sound kinda douchey but it’s just facts.... the only relevant detail would be rider weight

[@evilc.reations]

@@AxlMetcalf so you can see what works for people and gain inspiration / info so you can dial in what works for you! If someones running super hard forks, for example, it'd be good to know just how hard they run them so you can compare their style and see how yours shapes up.

Real interesting Matt, cheers for the setup run through. My very first MTB was a Marin almost 30 years ago, in fact I can't part with it, still take the old girl out for the odd ride now and then.

My mountain bike days are long over but this was fascinating to watch. Give or take a hundred, your cranks cost as much as my FSR Comp did in 1999! Bike tech has come a long way.

[@bigbird2451]

I was curious to hear more about the actual geometry numbers. I used to make my own frames as I'm two meters tall and no frame company ever made dirt jump frames long enough for me. But aside from just making them longer in the front, I also played around with making the head angles steeper than normal to keep the wheel base in check. I started out on a large Santa Cruz Chameleon which had a 69 degree HA. Then I tried 70 degrees and ended up with one at 71. And it's never felt twitchy.

[@likamuuk]

BMX bikes are even more extreme: 75° is considered mid, everything below (aka ca. 74,5°) is rather for speed stuff like dirtjumps or bowl riding esc and everything above (up to 76,3°) is rather for tech stuff. I have 75,5°. One big player is fork offset. Having a longer offset (ca. 32mm) will make the steering more stable and better for high speed stuff. Todays mid offset is about 22mm. A shorter offset makes the steering more twitchy, but makes nose manuals easier (I have 15mm) as well as a steeper headtube angle. Flatland riders for e.g. ride 0mm offset🤯 As you can see, theres a lot of stuff (handlebar height/ stem geo as well🌚) going into this area of the bike effecting the steering feel, stability, wheelbase and maneuverability of course (aka how easy some tricks like nose manuals are). If I had the money, I'd probably spend months bust trying out different setups and their feel. Example setups: -steep ht angle, long offset -mellow ht angle, short offset -steep ht angle, mid offset lol I gotta stop talking, this is getting out of hand ahah I love bike geometry😂😂💀

[@mattgies]

You might look at the geo chart of the Chromag Monk just as a reference point. They're one of the few companies to make DJ frames in four sizes (extra short, short, long, extra long).

I have 1 so are they real or fake. I just want to get the point across to this person i know you said they are the big brother to the alcatraz and they are an old bike maybe not so popular back then as a trend but yea. It be cool to put up a video of the history of these bikes. He seems to think they dont exist and are a coner one25. Says he works for marin when all ive seen is a bike shop full of kids bikes.😁
