I love your build. And thanks for covering how much you love the bike. I ordered the Ranger a few months ago from WWC. It is supposed to arrive in March and although I’m incredibly stoked, I’m also a little nervous ordering a bike I haven’t had the chance to ride. Thanks for helping me justify my choice!!!

Does something like a wolftooth dropper lever improve the dropper performance over the lever that comes standard on a bike? Very broad question I know

It doesn't necessarily improve or change the performance of The Dropper. However the ergonomics of how your thumb presses the lever and the feeling from the lever is very much improved.

[@prr665]

He's got an excellent point about frame sizing. I found out the hard way when I bought a medium Pivot Switchblade (I'm 5'10). Pivot's sizing guide put me at a medium but in reality, I felt cramped and it didn't feel right. I had to sell the frame and buy a large one.

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Ikes! You learned that the hard way. But now take note of that reach number and focus on that and not the size any brand tells you. It's the reach number that you prefer 👌

[@Ozzie2398]

I can agree more. I'm 5'10" and always rode medium but when I brought my Fezzari they convinced me to try large. I've never been as comfortable or feel as one with the bike.

[@andersbrandt7131]

Looking so gooooood 🤩

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Thanks!

[@adapta]

I think a set of golden Muc Off Valves will enhance the look even more! 😍 Did you also paint the rebound knob on the fork? If yes... that would be an attention to detail of doom!

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Yes we painted those knobs. We even dropped the lowers on the fork to replace the stock red o-ring with a black one. 😁

[@kiogo]

Awesome build! Looking to also get a Ranger and your height is similar to mine, 5'8", curious what you think the ideal reach is? The Revel size guide puts me at a medium, but I'm wondering if I should consider a large after watching your video? Thanks for any input!

[@joelod.4763]

Are you going to do a video on bike sizing not by height. I am tall but I have ridden norcos that "fit me" but they always feel long compared to my Cannondale. Revolver Vs f si so xc bikes.

We have been debating doing a video about bike sizing and we will be touching on it in our next podcast at some point and probably eventually do a video and article.

[@vanw1554]

i see you run a 2.4 rekon, how does it compare with a grippier but smaller tire like 2.3 DHR2? would it be lighter but provide similar grip?

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Lighter yes. But less grip which I actually prefer for a rear tire. Rolls super fast too.

[@vanw1554]

@@WorldwideCyclery Maybe I just ask my question directly. My Santa Cruz Hightower (150mm F 140mm R) is using 25mm internal width old wheels with 2.3 inch DHF and DHR2. I feel fine and the grip is more than enough to me. But I see everyone else are using 2.4/2.5 WT tires now, even with less grip tire like your Rekon. If I want to try WT tires I have to upgrade to 30mm width wheels and the cost is not small. I want to ask if you think the difference between 2.4WT tires and 2.3 tires are huge and worth the upgrade in my case. Thank you!

[@alexandrucovaliov8989]

where do you get these colored spokes? I found few places on Internet, but they are suspicious to buy from them.

Hey Jeff! What model is the 27.2 carbon post you mentioned?

Is lev ci. I don't recommend it. Now I'm using the Crank Bros highline post in 27.2. A touch heavier but way better.

[@hardmtnbiker]

Beautiful bike and completely agree that a big gear of the Eagle XX is overkill for a light bike or a fit rider. 👏🏽Bravo with the aluminum rims, I honestly think it’s a probably going to have a more supple feel than carbon rims. Especially on short travel and ever more so on hardtail’s.

[@WorldwideCyclery]

They do leak a touch when they're new like any shock. But if that continues after 15 hours of riding it might be an issue. Hard to say as these are so new that nobody really has any long term experience with them yet. Good questions to ask Rockshox.

Dhr ii comes in a 2.4 which is lighter than the dhf which comes in a 2.5. The 2.4 is a better fit for what I do most, I feel it rolls faster and it has the same exact corner knobs. So just a better fit, weight and same traction 👌
