[@EveryTongue]

Excellent, your ad libs cracks me up

[@PinkyFingerPedalStrike]

Thank you. This review added meaning to my life that I shall cherish and carry to the end of my days.

[@davidf1288]

Glad you're back. Missed your videos and adventures.

[@scottydakine]

This is classic material AND it’s leading me down the SS MTB rabbit hole. Cheers 🤘

[@MrRedPony01]

I’m stoked now. I’m bringing my SS with me to Dedham for a few months and it looks like it’ll be perfect

[@markdawson9944]

Great to see you posting wideos again dude !

[@davidbriceno6274]

Hands down Legend! Riding my Moxie mx3 SS. And is keeping honest. At 50yj loving it !

[@yuckigheny6243]

Glad you're uploading again. BeSSt content on the tube

[@jamesannis5372]

Glad I found this channel! Love the new England content!

[@brandonjrowe]

I saw this exact bike pass me multiple times on the climbs at the Witty Fitty. 😂 Tom, you inspired me to get back on a single speed. (2018 Honzo st). Can’t wait for this years fitty!

[@smeegain3657]

That is one nice setup! Looks like a lot of fun to ride.

[@daytch9485]

That Honzo frame was a score seeing they quit making them in Ti, would never sell it, just mothball

[@DirtWireTV]

Yup, I consider myself very lucky. I call it my "forever bike," dorkily enough.

[@RichFerri]

Your fricken Massachusetts commentary guy haha! I love this

[@dorianonthebike8448]

Awesome!!! Love your singlespeed content!

[@djsonfire0001]

Liking these single speed vids!

[@hardmtnbiker]

Nice SS and great perspective. I totally agree the 29x2.6” with nice wide rim with tire inserts allows carbon to probably be more forgiving. I’ve been using wide tires on wide aluminum rims and tire inserts, it’s perfect for my Ti rigid SS.

[@francoisrdt]

Both interesting and fun watch! The SS content will keep me coming :D

[@PeepMeRide]

Killer bike man! You really got me wanting to try SS.

[@mc540flip]

I think you’ve inspired me to run my Karate Monkey single speed. I’ve got a dropper and a 130mm fork ( wicked chunky in AZ too) so it’ll be pretty similar to your rig. I have run rigid out here, it was ok, but I’m over it. BTW-digging the Curious George mug ☕️🤘

[@jayswavely6371]

I had that year Kona Honzo. Good bike but I like my big box Specialized Fuse better. Better geometry. This guy is great.

[@rpiian]

Subscribed because I have the same t-shirt. Also I think I watched some fat biking video you put out years ago. Recognized the accent dood. :D - oh - the bikes sweet too!

[@SkeleTele]

Love the Honzo

[@frog-spit-182]

damn what a fresh build. Going to look into the airliner for my ss hardtail (ancient 95 lava dome).

[@kimrice394]

So glad your back! Easily scared hiker on a bike trail - Puts two ear buds in. Also easily scared hiker - 😡🗣🤬.

[@adrianflores1705]

You gotta do more videos!!

[@ericbaker3678]

wicked awesome

[@marcusmartin5758]

How do you solved the tension problem?

[@suvankarsaikia3075]

Sooo nice bro.. what's the gear ratio of u r bike .kindy reply.😎💐

[@rafiyakob]

Masterpiece, I will never sell it..

[@David-np4vo]

Best hardtail Honzo Ti

[@czechnolike]

Did you ever try any boutique titanium brands? Moots, chumba, etc?

[@memphiswinnie2224]

Do you use the airliner on the Barzo/Mezcal combo? Just a newb singlespeeder trying to figure out a fast/lightish but still tough tire combo. Thanks for the info!

[@DirtWireTV]

I did but I don't anymore. Looking into CushCore.

[@reinhardwagner8559]

That's an awesome looking setup, thanks for sharing! My Honzo Ti is setup with a 2° angleset and a 130mm Fox 36, which was a great upgrade and allows for a slightly longer fork while keeping the seat angle on the steeper side. Regarding the SSP setup - did you experiment with oval rings up front?

[@chrisgonzales1152]

Keep the SS content coming.

[@kenny_kaos]

You speak the truth about brakes and pedals lol

[@maumiller6295]

Not for nothin' ...I want an ahhhm check on ya biceps, kehd. Lookin' wicked-yoked!

[@albert85b]

Who makes the spacers on your cassette?

[@DirtWireTV]

Endless Bike.

[@timc4258]

You sound like a New Englander. Where do you ride?

[@bryanthartwig6994]

You spent more on hubs than my expensive wheelset

[@peteminer3808]

Did you feel a 120mm too low and that's why the switch?

[@DirtWireTV]

Originally upped the fork travel during a failed 27.5+ experiment. Did it to raise the BB and keep the head angle consistent. When I went back to 29 I just kept it and decided I liked the extra cush.

[@roryennis96943]

Where do I get one of those shirts?

[@claydogmadman6295]

The green water bottle is messing up the scenery on that bike, please please get an orange one please...🙏

[@stevehastie4951]

Dude…

[@Nicool333]

A bahstin native on meds. What’s new

[@donparsons1237]

Wow, thats alot of effort climbing hills, or it's geared down super slow which makes it useless for urban and normal trail riding... single speed bikes don't sell since most riders like multi gear because there's useful in all types of outtings... The average person won't be going single speed since its too much effort racking up the miles off road... Double the effort too cover a 1/4 too a 1/3 of what most folks would log in compared too a multi gear bike... A multi gear bike allows us too ride all day long and continue the day after since a person never ends up in the burn stage... Once yha log on some miles a person will appreciate multi gears... That's why 99.9% of bikes have them... You won't find companies putting single speeds on their mtb's or xc race bikes,,, I know id never run one since it would take forever too get anywhere... lol Just saying is all
