Cool video! I am a huge Stanton fan. Do you know if you can still buy a chain tamer anywhere? I cannot seem to find their website.

[@PinnedTV]

Not sure, prob got one here.

Had my Gen 2 Switch Ti for 5 years now and it's still a joy to ride today ,deffo worth the extra dough over the steel version , way lighter to pedal and chuck about , the steel version is good but they feel like pedalling in putty compared to the Ti . Told ya when you had the steel one how good the Ti is compared .👌👍👊

[@PinnedTV]

True

[@eightlivesdownmtb]

I’ve got that cold, courtesy of my daughter. I feel ill just watching you pedal uphill, Lord knows how you’re managing 💪

Great knowledge, just break em of.

[@PinnedTV]

[@prowlerie2347]

When i look at the stanton website for this they dont show the "banana bar" the little gusset at the seat post, my question is: do they have the banana bar for the larger frames and none on the smaller frame?

[@PinnedTV]

Yeh just large mate

[@Pay2winps]

Great to see Jim on the hardtail again takes a special type of skill to be able to tame a hardtail i would love a TI hardtail will always be a dream for me super bikes Sorry to hear you sounding rough too lads hope use all get a lot better soon too put vicks on your chest next time you ride Jim if you still have that cough buddy QUESTION when riding a TI frame do you feel any flex in the frame? We all need a big pinned day out in summer beers bikes an fun we’ll pay use 🍺👍🏻🇬🇧

[@PinnedTV]

Sounds a plan! No flex noticed one bit dude

[@jackmehoff915]

looks so much like Pennsylvania over there ..that's why i bought a switch9er!

[@PinnedTV]

Wow! Went there in 90!

[@jackmehoff915]

@@PinnedTV no shit ..I am in central PA in the Mountains great trail systems. We would love to come visit the UK , the peak District and show you lads how to drink !

[@sjaan7370]

Nice new rides you've got there 😎 if they aren't always on their way, you should change your order from a 170mm to a 200mm loam dropper since you had to pull it up 30mm 🙂

[@PinnedTV]

Have done mate

[@stevenconnor4221]

Ah man I love it, I had a mid 90's *cough* custom built titanium frame decked out in STX RC it was a cross country flying machine. It got stolen, even to this day I still miss it. As an engineer titanium is such a great material for bike frames, springy like chromo but no rust, a bike for life why is it not as popular. As you said some 3M cloth across it and your laughing.

[@PinnedTV]

Totally

[@jonesthesteamed]

You missed all the fun at 11:30! High line ftw

[@bentucker2301]

What's that chain guide?

Chain Tamer

[@mastergamer9577]

Nice

[@Twistsquishbang]

At 6”3 this bike don’t fit even though the website says it does,(up to 6”4 apparently Stanton are correcting this issue and that’s all they could say on the matter, great help!spent £5k on a build I can’t ride, oh and if you take the back wheel out you can squeeze the chainstays with just thumb and forefinger way to much for my liking

[@PinnedTV]

That’s not good!

[@Twistsquishbang]

Ye gutted really I did test ride it and it does skip along beautifully(standing) but I just can’t sit down and pedal with a 50mm stem and a Thompson layback seatpost still my knees hit the bars 😭😭 honestly the pictures I sent Stanton with me sat on the bike are hilarious I look like a clown on a kids bike🙈

[@Heisenbergg3000]

Can you say which size you got at which height?

[@PinnedTV]

Tod got a 16.5 I got a 18 I’m 5 10 Tod is 5 11. He got a medium more for jumping

[@Heisenbergg3000]

@@PinnedTV hey thanks for the swift reply mate! i'm 5 10 as well and was a little insecure about the sizing. want to import a bike to germany which is f****ed up due to brexit import duties and taxes...

Ridden it loads now, never give them a second thought. Flats for ever now

[@mtbgilly1641]

@@PinnedTV I seem to spend too much time faffin getting feet in the right place on flats ,easier just to clip in and feet in the right place in a second ,all down to personal preference I suppose 😁 I've been building loads of tight techy trails perfect for a short backend hardtails over Cannock you should bring it down and try them 😎👊💪💪
