Nailed it man! As a heavier rider I did have to swap out the 160mm rear to a 180mm. Also spot on with the 175mm cranks. Putting some 170mm on this weekend. The suspension even on a 240ish lb guy is amazing. The initial plush and small bump is just what I needed. I can feel the flex but with the traction and compliance it’s welcomed for what I want this bike for. Anything bigger I’ll reach for the Sentinel. Again, super rad video and spot on review! Can’t wait for more! Party on! 🤘👊😉

I would say the most interesting part of their latest releases are, what to do with the smuggler? The spur and sentinel combo seems to cover most bases, but if the smuggler comes back at 130/150 could it be the one bike quiver? Great review as always!

Good question! There's a sticker on the back of the Sentinel saying you can run it 140mm with a shorter stroke shock. A lighter build and an angle set to make the HTA steeper (gasp) to 64.6 and a fork spring might fit this slot ;)

Thank you for the video. While the Spur is quite attractive, in contrast to other short-travel trail bikes, the frame cannot handle a 130 fork (120 is their maximum), nor wider 2.6 tires (important for us riding with gravel, sand, rocks), nor a rear shock with a piggyback. If these aren't important, the Spur looks really good.

How would you compare the Spur to the Santa Cruz Blur TR? I don't see anybody talking about differences between the two, and without demos available, it's hard to get answers for myself. Obviously, the Blur TR should be more XC, and the Spur should be more stable on the downhill, but wondering which of the two you like (or liked) more. Also, does the Spur feel slower than the Blur TR? Thanks in advance.

I have a Ripley and about to swap to a Revel Ranger. I think what you would find with the comparison here is the whole idea of weight. The Spur and it's parts are about building a bike in the 26-27lb range. A Ripley is definitely a great trail bike and as such weights are in the 30+ range. I have already seen people taking these light weight based bikes and swapping out the SID for a 130 pike which I do not understand. The point should be - go to this if you want a lightweight trail rocket that does excel in both the ups, flats and downs.

Love your reviews. They’re very clear, informative, and are presented so genuinely that I feel I could trust everything you say. I have the Spur on the top of my list next to the Trail 429. I’m 230lbs so I’m debating the stiffness argument you raised with relation to rider weight, though another Clydesdale seems to be satisfied. My question is, when you reviewed the Sentinel, there were some paint chipping issues. Are you concerned about that with the Spur?

This bike really has me intrigued! I have a SB130LR which I really dig and think is pretty efficient for it's category. Do you think there's enough separation between the two to justify the Spur as a second bike for flowy/longer days or just save the $ and buy a lighter wheel/tire combo for those days? I live in Bay Area so ride more or less same trails as you - though not as effortlessly!

I think there's enough separation considering the LR is long stroked on both ends. You may not want to ride the Yeti as much though ;)

You mentioned going with a 34t chain ring to match your 52t cassette. I just ordered a new 52t cassette with 32t chain ring. What will the downfalls or benefits of the route I went? Or did I screw up lol
@mtbsavant5414
@mtbsavant5414 4 жыл бұрын
This will largely depend on many factors including how steep your climbs are, fitness and your preference. I generally run the largest chain ring I can get away with because I'm more of a slower cadence kind of climber. The 52t and the light weight of the bike allows me to run a 34 but everyone's different.

The SID fender comes with the fork. It is not an additional accessory. If it didn't come on your bike then the shop charged you.

Hey Man, Awesome video. I am just about to pull the trigger on this bike. One thing is sizing. I am 5'11 and a half. Large is 480 reach but I know the seat angle is quite steep. Large is what I am looking at. I would be buying this bike blind. How tall are you on a Medium. Also I'm on technical terrain a lot. Would you swap to 170 cranks? Wonderful review and quality information. Amazing.

I'm 5'10 with about 31 inseam and generally size down. If you're looking to add a touch more stability and less BMX bike feel L is the way to go.
@brianhanish6307
@brianhanish6307 4 жыл бұрын
I'll go to a large. I am 5'11 and a quarter with fairly long arms. I queried a few riders who have the bike and Large seems to be the way to go. If it's a touch long I can dial back the stem. I think if I size down the bike might feel to small. The reach number looks long but the seat tube angle is quite steep. Some should keep that in mind. It makes a difference. Thanks for your reply, and I hope to post a video for all to see and review the bike when and if I get it. Love this colour, it's my first choice

Around 5:30 you mention my exact question about these kinds of bikes. What weight do you have in mind when you say heavier riders might have a different experience. I’m about 205lbs on my lighter days. I don’t ride jump lines but I’d call myself an aggressive rider. Am I near that “weight limit” for the experience you somewhat mention?
@mtbsavant5414
@mtbsavant5414 4 жыл бұрын
I had someone 230+ in mind when I said that. I have no bases for that comment other than speculation considering the 5.4lbs frame, 160mm rear brake rotor, and slimmed down dampers (and oil volume) on the SID. However at least 1 person around this weight is having fun on his Spur so what do I know! The progressive suspension and lifetime warranty is there when you need it. My recommendation is to demo the bike if you can.

I'm going back and forth between 27mm sag (no spacers) and 30mm sag (stock 1 spacer) on the shock. Can't say which I like better yet. On the fork I usually don't look at sag because a few centimeters fore and aft when setting it greatly affects the measurement. I'm running about 77psi in the fork.
