Nice review. I have a Liv Tempt 0. I am just wondering for the short front...what would a longer stem do?

[@dustybettymtb]

It could be worth trying. Sometimes I feel like longer stems change the feel of the steering. Going with a different bike, might be a better solution, but if you have a Lurra, experimenting with stem length could be worth trying.

Hi there. Thanks for this review! I'm looking for a hardtail for my beginner daughter who is 4'11" and will likely only get to under 5'4" so I don't think I want a 26" but she's petite and light at 82 lbs currently. If the head tube angle was adjusted do you think the xs 27.5 would be suitable for a beginner her size? TIA!! Melody

Check out Marlin team1 or team 2 which are xc bikes but can do trails ok.

[@holliedekraai4137]

For a person 5’4, what size tires do you recommend?

[@Babychickhands]

My 11 y/old son is 4'11 and bought him a 29er hardtail, he raced xc a month ago and struggled with the 24in tire bike, he easily beat his best race time today during 7 or so laps we did at the same place(just training) there was a technical section which he struggled on during his race (had to come off the bike 2 or 3 times) today he never had an issue at that section. I got a Liv Lurra Size L 177cm male. He got Marlin Team 1 size S( a bit big for him for now but no issues), mine is a better featured bike with a 150mm dropper but found it lumpy on the xc kids course. It is however nice on our green/blue trail. The head angle definitely more slacker than his Marlin 66 vs 67deg so Liv Lurra definitely around 65deg head angle, I found it very very easy to get used to coming from an old geo hardtail, I however have found the huge space between the downtube and front axle causes the front wheel to be all the way forward on the Thule top ride roof bike carrier, drove with it for 2 hours mounted on the roof and was ok.

2.3-2.4 is usually the sweet spot for me. Occasionally I'll ride something with tires a little wider, but there's really no need at my size.

Ist that clacking sound coming from the gopro or is it the bike?

[@dustybettymtb]

Apologies, it's my jacket zipper-pull tapping on the mic.
