How Chromag Makes A Bike

[@cortarelva]

Aaaaaaand I just found my next bike. Now to start saving for one these beauties.

[@sarahdell4042]

I’ve recently had the chance to spend the day with one of their bikes. Makes you rethink the whole gotta have full suspension motto! (At least for the riding I do)

[@nickray1694]

The dudes at chromag definitely have a taste for audio too lol, all those speakers and that amp above their workstation

[@TheMoreWeExplore]

Super cool behind-the-scenes look at what goes into a chromag bike. I, for one, typically prefer threadded BBs, but after seeing the size difference between the two, the PF makes a lot more sense in this application. Beautiful bikes.

[@pinkbike]

Yeah we felt it was important for Ian to explain that actually there was a purpose for using the press fit system in this instance. It can be such a 'poking the bear' topic to bring up, but here everyone has learnt where there is a useful application.

[@ryanthomaslane1]

I dont understand why all new BB standards have to be PF. Why not another threaded size if the diameter needs to increase?

[@zyoungson215]

because imagine trying to work a huge thread lose that is siezed or jammed

[@leestuurmans2837]

@@ryanthomaslane1 There is the T47 option

[@1speedbrian]

Love my Primer, one of the best bikes of my life.

[@strix2035]

You guys are doing amazing things over there making ART I CAN RIDE ON!!! Just beautiful

[@calebduyck3232]

How many speakers do they have in that place lol

[@pinkbike]

Too many to count...

[@neilf.7222]

Not the only take away from the video I got but it was exactly my thought. lol

[@PNW-Mochi]

Never can have too many.

[@benbenmagic]

Does anyone spotted the Naim ?

[@brennanvivaan2290]

A trick: watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.

[@snellcole]

So good. Love ya Ian!

[@rogocara]

It's the hardtail of my dreams! Awesome video!

[@dstammel]

I own one of these hand built Primers and it is a utter joy to ride.

[@stefandjalic]

Got the best named frame builder mister TrueLove great bikes, always love to ride hardtails

[@str8edgbmxr641]

Great vid!!! I also see the Husky "guard dog" hard at work!

[@Maddpadd]

@6:22 Peter is like whooa shit film crew whoooa I just got back from my morning break spliff feeling para and it seems that the doggo @10:58 was with him :) Anyhoos jokes aside been looking at building a steel HT for a while, been eying brands like BTR, Stanton, Moxxie & Shand all great frame builders but keep coming back to Chromag, something special about them that just keeps hooking me in to them & I think this vid has sealed my choice.

[@Gs112780]

Such an awesome clip👍🏻

[@leorussellmoore3329]

I want one of these bikes so bad! They really do look unique!

[@hpkiunzy]

they ride so smooth , they are very versatile you can ride them almost anywhere very solid and most important, they are fun!

[@jasonkennethshonwise3850]

Awesome company...gorgeous bikes and components!!! Ian is a super cool guy 😎🤙

[@James-qq2vq]

Just bought the red stylus and I can't believe how nice the paint job is on this bike!

[@JoelTGM]

I gots a rootdown which is the Taiwanese made version with same geometry. It rides soooo well I love it. It really rips downhill, so well that I have no interest in taking my dualie out anymore. And I can climb so much better on hardtail it feels like cheating.

[@gumbi8989]

Joel how does the rootdown climb? I ride up longer climbs and wanna know if this bike would still be a good everyday trail bike?

[@joelocalab]

@@gumbi8989 It would be the most ideal everyday trail bike

[@BikeItUK]

Another nice insight video! Thanks Andy

[@robertturnip7850]

Whoever is in Canada, you should go out and buy any Chromag item right now. This is about as real as a bike company gets.

[@ethanknight8461]

Robert Turnip a lot of their stuff is designed for looks not speed

[@jiajunsun3845]

@@ethanknight8461 Do you own a Chromag bike to say that they are fast? Just wondering

[@ethanknight8461]

@@jiajunsun3845 i said a lot of their stuff is designed for looks not speed, but that doesnt mean they arent good, i love their pedals and bars but a lot of their parts are above average weight last i checked. No hardtail frame is going to be fast, but their stuff is for sure high quality

[@TheRadiopharus]

Great video guys, in south america we love Chromag bikes, sadly there are no distributors in this part of the globe

[@TrailFeatures]

Great video! Always awesome to see the people that create killer bikes. I love the Rootdown BA that I just built and it gets better each time I ride it!

[@jasonfuentes6084]

i should of build the rootdown instead of the styus , cause she cant climb !

[@benbenmagic]

Lovvveee the Naim 5si at 6:52 !!

[@L4J20]

Makes me want to go ride my Chromag 🤘😃🤘

[@Fincher123]

Nice Bikes! One Question: Why trhere are so many Speakers????

[@pinkbike]

These guys love music, their full band set up with 2 drum kits is pretty impressive. Music is a big part of their culture, and we ruined it by making them turn it all off!

[@MS-ug3gm]

Bikes and loudspeakers- just all we need.

[@danielz5146]

Yoooo!!!! These guys are audiophiles!!!

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

Very cool look behind the curtain.

[@suchasreallife]

No chain guild mount ?

[@jeffross4394]

That’s pretty sick!

[@sethnicholls7861]

I love Chromag bikes!!!!!!

[@reidmartin3479]

1:24 YT Downhill Teams Mechanic Ben Arnott ???

[@rob.ny-la]

Trying to order one man I can’t find any!!!!! Chromag monk dj large. Any color besides purple

[@Mesa3077Boogie]

Oh, Ben's employed there! Thought that was a pan handler

[@mattclark1111]

This video makes me wonder: are die hard mountain bikers actually good mountain bike engineers? Can see some reasons why they might be and some why they might not. Very interesting video! Thanks

[@Ben-py9no]

Very cool!

[@BerserkerNick]

This frame looks like a Haro Vector Z series from the 90's and early 00's

[@unconventional_health]

So cool!

[@hpkiunzy]

chromags are awseome, wideangle here

[@cellphonenut]

That’s what I call top drawer craftsmanship all the way start to finish !!

[@esmeulonsouzadeoliveira3636]

⚡🔱⚡Mike Truelove 👏👏👏 .

[@stevetrojano1595]

Could that be my Rootdown on the table? Probably not. Hardtail>Full Squish

[@crvzer]

Truelove is the real MVP.

[@bikehogu]

I love you chromag

[@justinsparrey177]

W A N T ! ! ! !

[@jay-arcerillo4178]

My Dream Bike :-(

[@obi-wankenobi9871]

What i dont understand about the "new" geometry trends is the short rear end. Especially on a hardtail. If you really wanna shred on a hardtail you are gonna want all the rear end stability you can get and in that case short chanistays arent of much help. I get that they want the bikes to feel more lively but shouldnt a stable rear end be what you want on a hardtail, becuase hardtails are really playful by nature?

[@TheMoreWeExplore]

KZbin User I'll take the shortest chainstay I can find. It turns, manuals, and jumps so well. The primary reason I bought my chameleon is because of the 415mm chainstay.

[@pukki34]

I agree. Finnish Pole is making long and slack bikes with long chainstays.

[@obi-wankenobi9871]

Pukki34 but pole is expensive af.

[@NoBrakes23]

A short rear end is not as stable, but it turns so much better. Some folks are going to like the straightline stability more than the ability to rotate quickly, but I prefer a shorter back end. Modern 29er hardtails have shorter backends than my old 26", and consequently lose that old wagon wheel feeling that folks used to complain about. When a hardtail has long chainstays it feels dead and cumbersome to me.

[@obi-wankenobi9871]

William Taylor ?

[@owenbirch6188]

Bb92 might be nice and wide but the press fit bottom brackets sure are shit

[@10acebikesjodybennettii19]

so anyway you guys can just give me one of those?? lol

[@rewind9536]

So Chromag is basically one guy welding the frames, and the rest are administration.

[@MloVisual]

need better colorway.. especially for the hefty market price. IMO

[@mikegraham4059]

Stick with Supercycle then.

[@superultramuffintime]

That music got very annoying

[@NoBrakes23]

#precious

[@mason.walk2210]

Their frames bend in foam pits

[@pinkbike]

Do they?

[@alradhi6627]

CHROMAG PLEASE REMOVE THAT FD CABLE GUIDE!!! OH MY GOD FOR ANYTHING IN THE WORLD PLEASE REMOVE IT! Who still use that difficult-to-maintenance front derailleur this day. For radical MTB brand like chromag it is just not makes any sense. And i think chromag should remove it from 2014. Buy Surly if you want to use front derailleur. I am from Indonesia. And Chromag is become a dream component here.

[@Aggressive_Splooge]

Some people still like to add a bashguard and that's where it mounts, also some people who run 1x still insist on having a chainguide.

[@keirfarnum6811]

Yeah. Some people like having gears. 1Xs are overrated.

[@bernibeckmann9753]

ugg the "music"

[@joen3992]

Dude! $4600 for a fucking bike?! Does it make me coffee in the morning too?! WTF!

[@pinkbike]

Yeah probably

[@keirfarnum6811]

My 1991 Yo Eddy was a $5700 bike. You must not be into riding, I take it.
