What do you think of Neil's bike? Head over to GMBN to watch their race report! ➡️ gmbn.eu/andespacifico ⬅️

[@aminrazawan482]

A perfect enduro bike

[@j0Nt4Mbi]

Awesome

[@gmbn]

Check out Neil and Blake's Andes Pacifico diaries on our channel right now! 🤘

[@sabin9461]

Nice Canyon Strive dont break that bike out there!!!

[@anthonychen9060]

that turned out well

[@siebelspaethjens]

I'd put the spare tube in a small plastic bag to hold back dirt and if you leave it there for a long time there's a small risk it gets destroyed due to friction from vibration. Also you could put in a chain link. Like said before awesome color of the frame.

[@paulsack9563]

Just read the mail from Neil. Keep it up! You are the presenter I can relate most, and not just because we both ride a blue Canyon :)

[@markofink]

"Tires before friendship" :D

[@rupedog]

Looking forward to the post race bike update...what state its in now...

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

Me too

[@Max-pt4tx]

Nice new bike Neil! Got some sweet kit on there too 😎

[@rupedog]

Was the valve thing a cush core style insert? Yeh allow rims all the way...they are as light as carbon..check out mbuk feb, reviewed carbon and alloy...no reason to buy carbon wheels, a bit of give in a wheel is a good thing!

[@djatikurniadi4380]

I love the color of the bike

[@EnrEkr7075]

Reverse rear shox. Is it no problem? My bike is reign. and I can't control rebound dial because of swing arms. Damn it!

[@bennytn5518]

Those DT1900s have a low count ratchet engagement, don't they? Or did the good guys at Canyon upgrade it to 54T ratchet?

[@anttiharing]

Thats a real beauty of a bike! Please don't thrash it too hard!

[@chrisscott8811]

You see mine hardcore mtb enduro bike

[@anthonychen9060]

The Shapeshifter can be compatible with other shocks, so Doddy will fit in a 160 mm coil shock?

[@joshuacwynar3984]

I got a great screenshot from this video

[@michaelflancia8472]

What hip pack are you using? Can you do a video of what Enduro kit you have for this kind of race? Thanks

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

PREMIUM NEIL !!!!!!!!

[@prod.o3one]

Hi, im looking to buy a brand new Canyon Strive CF 7.0 and i dont know what size i need, what would you recommend me, i saw you were rippin' M size. Im currently 171cm but im 14yo what should i get, M or L size, im still growing and im thinking of L size. Cheers!

[@Hondamark2]

Hi, what were those zip tie number board holders you used in the event? Had a search on eBay but couldn’t find them, what are described as ? Could you put a link up?

[@ashleywilliams1660]

MarkMtbWales not seen what you’re referring to, but I think what you’re on about is a marsh guard number board? There about 15quid

[@Hondamark2]

If you watch the video of Neil & Blake doing the event, when he talks about bike prep he fastens the numbers on with what looks like zip ties but they have a threaded inset that you screw a bolt into, bought for a few quid off eBay

[@gmbntech]

We don't know the exact ones Neil got but try searching for "Screw Mount Cable Tie" or "Mounted Head Cable Tie" 👍

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

Home depot online

[@kolinstallman3788]

Electricians use em. Try electrical stores.

[@danytheunicorn95]

27.5 2.8 maxxis minion DHF tires or 29inch 2.6 for this event. That is about it. The bike is perfect. Great choice of components, geometry, travel, really nice. Love it:)

[@scalesales1852]

Could be me but that back end looks 'inactive' when the anchors are on?

[@liuliangchen]

Hi, I just want to know if the cables for rear brake and shiftier still go underneath the BB?

[@talesfromthetrailz]

What's the rise on your bars?

[@Andrea-qg5yk]

Does this climb better than the spectral?

[@karllindberg4830]

would you carry a pump or co2 and where do you carry it?

[@th_js]

Love it!

[@name156]

Tomi Saaranen I see a comment from you on most of the vids I watch 😂

[@th_js]

@@name156 Haha I get a lot of similar comments!

[@pierrotlegros06]

Why Neil don't have His Ransom?

[@th_js]

Ransom*

[@stevenbeven3639]

Don't think GMBN are supported by Scott bikes anymore.

[@Luca-ft1kv]

Pretty sure canyon sponsores them now.

[@stevenbeven3639]

@@Luca-ft1kv Nukeproof as well

[@cwalt74]

give me a 27.5 ransom any day

[@ferraghini9536]

How scratched is your bike after the big crash

[@harrisonclark3799]

why not xm1501 wheels? it's still alloy.

[@Pajaroloco_Trips]

Fun fact: Code’s are NOT super consistent. Just leaving them under the sun for 10mins makes them stick.

[@mh_mtb686]

Yeah I was going to consider some code r’s although I went Magura mt5s cos they’re more reliable, more powerful and cheaper than the codes. The guides do that too.

[@MW-ud8zp]

I don't see why people claim 29ers look bad. There's something about those big wheels that lets me know the bike means business. It looks solid.

[@alliandude]

Where can i find a crash plate for 2019 strive?

[@andrei3720]

Arent those M1900 wheels?

[@Dude-Smellmyhelmet]

I'm pretty sure they are because that's what he said they are. Haha

[@llensanityml8775]

awesome!

[@marko6706]

Nice beast

[@Pienimusta]

Perhaps you should have had a fatbike for extra traction? =P

[@th_js]

Haha

[@fwmtb]

Haha, I'm sure blake would

[@cheese_bakerice]

How many bike does he have ??

[@RandomTheories]

N+1 😎

[@RandomTheories]

N+1 😎

[@tristantuyn8703]

If money was no problem than I'd change the fork to a fox 36. But otherwise nothing, probably just preference and Shimano brakes, also just because of preference

[@th_js]

Are you my long lost brother?

[@kubagajda7347]

I've got this code's and despite bleeding procedure, which is obviously much bigger faff, they feel a lot like shimano - light action through the stroke and a pronounced feel of pads contacting the rotor - they just don't have that "all in" power so any panic braking won't send you over the bars

[@th_js]

@@kubagajda7347 Well I like the part if you panic brake you fly OTB

[@shrishan5363]

I use this

[@fakealexstrong]

Did he say “half an ounce” LOLLLLLL

[@alessandrorighetti21]

When?

[@somerandomguywastaken]

Ur shoe is size 8!!! Bruhh I'm 15 and a size 11

[@th_js]

So what, it's not like he could decide his foot size!

[@somerandomguywastaken]

@@th_js I thought Neil was tall

[@th_js]

@@somerandomguywastaken Are you new to this channel? Haven't you heard of the Neil being tiny joke?

[@somerandomguywastaken]

@@th_js I'm really not but nah never heard. I know Martyn is short 😂 yh doddy is a lanky dude but Neil doesn't look short, maybe he runs small frames which is why in comparison he looks big

[@RandomTheories]

you should start your career in swimming then :D

[@chrisscott8811]

I want to race this enduro bike against my machine vitus sommet crs 12 speed mountain bike on the trails anywhere anytime which one who wins ??

[@igormarinkovic1531]

damn 29 is biiig too big

[@w3stgeorge117]

Pretty good like to dislike rario

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

Why have all these manufacturers gone back to that awful Horst link design it's hideous. That's why I still ride a five-year-old AOS equipped GT

[@user-180-mand90]

Because shocks have come a long way. Best of both worlds, awesome downhill and traction, but enough antisquat and support for climbing
