NEW ENDURO RACE BIKE-CHECK

My new Propain Tyee is all ready for Trans Madeira! 160mm enduro bike, 29er, full carbon fibre. Just count how many time I say chuffed! So excited to start this crazy race and so pleased to have such a capable bike for the job. Sorry about the sound quality.... Full suspension settings:
Fork 125psi, HSC open, LSC 5, HSR 5, LSR 8
Shock 550lbs, HSC 5, LSC 5, HSR 5, LSR 8

I think he's chuffed

[@Jono_Jones]

If I had any sort of editing skills I’d have tallied them up as I went - watching it back made me laugh. Top comment!

@@Jono_Jones Keep up the good work!!

[@geoffsimons3475]

@@Jono_Jones I enjoyed them. It reminded me of a steam train 😏. I hope the weather good so you get the most out of the trails.

[@jasongidney9660]

Good luck dude. Hope it goes well for you. Try not to crash too much and looking forward to seeing footage from the race!

[@Frorideism]

Jono!😎 As youtube's only fashion designer & mountainbike aesthetic enthusiast, I must say that the color setup on your rig is approved. Good detailing placing the orange lil' decal on the rim to catch up the full color scheme. If you'd add a copper-ano chain it would connect your drivetrain to the Kashima & orange parts on the frame. Or possibly even just an orange wire-cap for the shift cable. Over and out //Style Police🥸

[@Ganiscol]

I appreciate that you know all the details about your rig. 😊 So many other tubers either dont know jack about their horse or pretend to not care - "my mechanic donnit, I dont know!" Its the Yang to your Yin, the mechanical extension of your body to exercise the greatest sport of all! It deserves a certain level of interest and intimate knowledge! 😅

[@jeremiemcclean1635]

Your previous trip there is what put it on my bucket list. I’m sure the new footy will be just as epic🚀

[@Jono_Jones]

Thank you! Won’t have Ben’s great editing but the riding will be good!

[@LRKIRBY]

Love the bike Jono! Love to see frequent uploads

[@bermroller]

That's sick that the medium size can run full 27.5. That's what I want for my loam rhythm trail for popping in and out of corners.

[@topspot4834]

Got back from a 5 day bike park trip with my friends. They're on 29" and me 27.5" ... I'm the best rider out of the group, but they definitely handled tech trails better than me. While I'm carefully choosing my lines and constantly taking weight off my front end, they're just pointing downhill and riding. Different story on berms though, and what I loose in straightaway speed I make up for in maneuverability. Plus it's easier to throw around on jumps and IMO a lot more fun.

[@soundwarper]

Nice looking bike, for sure! Enjoy the brutality, exhaustion and utter joy over the coming days… 😎

[@azzhatmax8537]

Good luck. Awesome bike too

[@Jono_Jones]

Thanks dude

[@p3ggy80]

Beautiful bike Jono. Nice to see flock of seagulls at the coast...

[@TheDingopaul]

Best of luck jono fingers crossed 🤞

[@orishasnino]

Love it that you share your settings 👍 much appreciated 😊

[@ericpayne2281]

Drinking game, shot every time Jono says “chuffed” 😂

[@Jono_Jones]

Hahahaha we’ll be wasted

[@slide_drexler]

You would be drunk at the 3 minute mark.😂

[@David_Mudsurfer]

thank you so much for your suspension setup. Still struggling to setup my fox 38. I definitely got some ideas from that. Looking forward for more setup walkthroughs from you!!

[@matt46vale]

Cracking little island went there a couple months ago. Enjoy the race Jono

[@Elim_84]

Jono has some of the best colour schemes going 🤌

[@Ojack11]

I'll be tuning in to see some Levadas

Good news not private anymore. Cheers from Northern California!!!

Sick bike Jono. Best of luck out there. 🤙

Know its tough racing and filming but it makes the most interesting videos. Good luck!

[@RobHill00]

Awesome, can’t wait!👍🏻

[@snottt]

Chuffed mate

[@SummitMTB]

Aaaa that intro gets me every time 😂

[@tomstarmoreMTB]

Bike looks awesome jono

[@Traildude193]

Awsome video jono😊😊

[@jokermtb]

I count eight "chuffs"? Here's my favorite chuff: 8:17 Curious about the OneUp carbon oval section bar - I run a 31.8mm Spank Vibrocore bar as a way to get some edge taken off the front end chatters, as 35mm bars always seem to stiff. Seems this might be a cure for all the 35mm bar harsh reputation out there. Be interesting to see how your more upright positioning does for you over the race. Nice bike setup!

[@gasperarcon5176]

dream bike love the videos

[@aaronburela432]

Bike is sick 🔥

[@tomhaskamp]

Love the Video 😄

[@BrianB78]

Kinda surprised to don't run Deathgrips, seems like most of the UK (racers at least) run them, due to being friends with Bren and/or possibly getting them free. I'm happy enough just paying for them, but you legit prefer the ODI?

[@midnightKEKW]

Wow you changed ur suspension settings quite a bit from the last bike check! just for this event? good luck!!

[@davemarshall82]

Bit of an odd question but how do you have your SPDs set up Jono? Do you run cleats with single or multi release? For such rough terrain I feel like you'd need to be running them to be as locked in as possible but equally when things are slick I guess you need to be able to get your foot out when you need to.

[@sonnyhapgood8917]

Kill it dude! Im rooting for you!

[@elgeffe503]

Sick bike! How wide is the handlebar?

[@freeriderau4839]

Hey matt! i recently just got my propain tyee, im 6ft as well but im struggling with dropper post size. Was curious to know what size your running? Sick Bike

[@DandyHippo]

Hes jono lmao

[@ryanc1549]

And to think that I run 110 psi in my fork and weigh 57 kilos!

[@ashleytombs]

click click click Sounds like my GF laptop when I get paid Never mind suspension settings joking aside bike looks absolutely stunning take a picture before he gets dirty lol

[@Jono_Jones]

Gonna get filthy!

[@ashleytombs]

@@Jono_Jones let’s hope it’s just the bike and not you I know it’s part of racing but you have spent too much time on the floor lol You even said it yourself I need to stop crashing

[@richday5520]

I've been looking at these but alloy Is there and pros/cons of carbon over alloy apart from weight? Good luck

[@LastAphelion]

pros and cons with compliance and stiffness. I've seen some people say they like the carbon version of a frame over alloy for feeling less flexy/noodley (they'll claim the bike feels more snappy and direct to handle) while maintaining good compliance against chatter, this is model/brand dependent and gotta do your research. You can make carbon too thick and not compliant, just like you can with titanium as Ive heard some titanium frames get made too thick and end up transmitting more chatter than dampen. Lots of hard thrashers will say they like knowing their alloy will never break on them but I've seen so many snapped alloy chain stay stories too so I dont think one is necessarily always stronger. Think most important aspect after liking how it feels, is finding a good company warranty, some have infamous stories of refusing to replace (evil carbon snapped chainstays), or warranties are only a few years long, others have lifetime warranty

[@jackwatson1643]

I have one up bar and stem

[@Jono_Jones]

Love it!

[@alexkish9143]

it doesnt come in badmint matte tho

[@magnusmtb5302]

Are you doing hardline w this year ??

[@Jonas-MTB]

What handlebar width do you ride?

[@Lukieb_na_kole]

What brakes do you use?

[@ManWalksDogs]

I think the count was eight...🧮
