FRAMEWORKS | Neko Mulally | Fox Suspension Test

Pre-season testing is still going! Since we got back from Portugal we have been continuing getting the bike dialed in for the season. No new parts yet but we still have a lot of fine tuning. This week we got to ride at Rock Creek with Jordi Cortes from Ride Fox to get the suspension tuned in.
Check out all of my gear below!

The song choices for this entire series are so on point.

[@TheBikeDads]

it plays like a Gen X mix tape. It Rules!

[@bennybradford]

Also have to realize he probably can’t monetize the video with the copyrighted music.

[@cheut]

It takes me back to high school. So good

[@marqueso1600]

I was like...i remember this band....then looked up song "Wolf like me" dang wrong band but i was close both had black lead singers!

[@mattmikuska]

Come on. Who is not rooting for Neko man. This is so dope and inspiring. Hope some day my kid shows such a passion for a project. #peopleschamp

[@fetz30]

Can’t get enough of these videos. Music and filming is great and it’s so exciting to see where the frame will go.

[@brucemacdonald5532]

Loving this series! Oh, and a Spotify playlist would be brilliant. Tunes are always absolute classics!

[@JustinSweed]

The soundtrack to your videos is top notch!!!

[@OrthodoxRainbow]

Hey man, I'm a Pisgah local. Watched your Crankworx run, it was sweet. Wishing you the best this season!

[@seanoneil277]

Another awesome installment, thanks Neko. And the music choices, don't know if you or your brother Logan or someone else chooses, but it's like you're going through my music collection and picking my favorites.

[@ebeaudry929]

Love this - Jordi is great and love the insight and his general honesty.

[@lynxg4641]

Interesting stuff with the 3D scanning, looking forward to seeing more on how that's used to help you with the new design.

[@RC-fp1tl]

I second this. Neko, how much do the pivot points move from welding and heat treat? How is that movement compensated for?

[@NekoMulally]

@@RC-fp1tl I was actually surprised how accurate they were! Because my design puts the pivots so far apart from each other, if I have the same tolerance as other production bikes, my bike will be more accurate. There are little things that can be done in construction to compensate for the parts moving in heat affected zones like leaving more meat around the pivots to take off in final machining. For our next frames we are looking to put more of the complexity into the cnc parts so that there is less chance of things moving.

[@steffengronegger8831]

Content is king. Impressive work.

[@bjleipprandt8392]

Jordi glowing over Neko....heartwarming.

[@sarcritchlow]

Looks like its working well. Nice run. Great to see you back on the podium

[@RobHill00]

Learned a lot from listening to Jordi last season, he’s the Boss!😎

[@5DEV]

New Kit looking fresh!!

[@benjaminhparkerphotography8791]

another super interesting vid mate, best of luck with the coming season bud.

[@danrozeboom8055]

Logan is becoming a master!!! Great work!!!!!

[@denisrogers4358]

Bravo ! Neko, Jordan, F.T.W. Jordi- that there’s the deep end of the talent pool ! Can’t remember not rooting for Neko. I was lucky enough to work at FTW in the 90’s and have considered Frank as family since. Dude I can’t root any harder !

[@tahoeebikes]

HES GONNA WIN A WORLD CUP

[@01FozzyS]

Jordi is always the man!

[@JJ_MTB_15]

Awesome episode. Great to see jordie outside of world cup

[@diveaddict6885]

Very cool scanning device great way to get feedback technology

[@dexterlines1735]

Another top edit

[@PeterJamison]

So good, as always!

[@pauldarylx]

Song so nostalgic

[@RobbisTV]

Yeah NEEKS! I hope to see you at Bromont this season leading up to MSA, cheers from Canada eh! YEEWWW!!! :D \m/

[@jokermtb]

Diggin hearing the Allah-las band’s surfy psych music in between scenes

[@bobstenson6881]

Hi Neko, could you comment on what you wear for protection? Really interested in the elbow pad choice and how they've faired for you. Glad to see riders of your caliber wearing elbies. Love what you're doing. Hopefully you can come to out PA for the first NW Cup!

[@NekoMulally]

I use these elbow pads, they work great: www.foxracing.com/product/enduro-pro-d3o-elbow-pads/28435.html?dwvar_28435_color=001&dwvar_28435_size=XS&cgid=protection-mtb

[@alvarocastillo5274]

Spanish is dialed!

[@DannyridesMTB55]

Hey Neko just curious but do you get much time in the gym and how important is it? And do you do some sort of stretching for mobility? As I am getting older I seam to need to do more of that to help recover? Just curious and I Love the insight from the videos so cool to see and the music is spot on!!

[@Cassienope]

I forgot what I was listening to, but Greg Minaar said as he gets older mobility work is almost more important than gym work.

[@nictreadgold6411]

Hi Neko, any chance we could get a Q&A episode sometime, you make some really interesting component choices at time and it's always great to learn more about the choices. I presume you'll be doing a new video on the steel Cotic frames shortly?

[@NekoMulally]

Yeah I would be happy to do that. FOr sure the steel frame should be in next month's video

[@AppleJack76]

That 3D shop looked like a NASCAR race shop. Hmmm 🤔?

[@MrSupermugen]

hi Neko, Are you able to tell us what pads you run in your TRP's?

[@ROSE-by5su]

Why it always feel like you have to ride Fox kit when you have fox suspension

[@steveo_bikes]

Neko, Your summary page on World Wide is great n all but your missing a big part in it about your brakes and the rotors you use.

[@NekoMulally]

I will see if WWC can update that! I always use Galfer rotors and pads. I have been liking the wave 223 rotor on the front and the shark 203 rotor on the rear. Wave gives a sharper bite and shark is a little better for dissipating heat. I have been messing around with a lot of different brakes, but my go to right now is TRP with Shimano hoses and oil.

[@steveo_bikes]

@@NekoMulally Thank you for the reply, may I ask why you use Shimano hoses & oil on TRP brakes ?

[@NekoMulally]

@@steveo_bikes I found that the shimano hoses are firmer, giving the brakes a firmer bite point. The oil feels like it moves faster and is the best quality mineral oil I have found.

[@gaboleo94]

eQuador? ahhaha
