Fair enough if his bike was in need of maintenance but there is nothing wrong with a 10 year old bike. I ride an 11 year old bike because it’s what I can afford. I’d prob be quicker and more comfortable on a new bike but I’m having a good time and it doesn’t hold me back at all. 10 years old is not that old... we’re not talking about a clunker from the 90’s. The best bike is the bike you can afford.

Aggreed i have always had older bikes hardtails because there cheaper the one major thing with the newer geo bikes is if your tall over 6 foot you can now get a bike with a long reach and run a short stem, shorter riders havent had to deal with these issues so a well maintained older bike with short stem and wide bars is fine and if anything will force better riding technique compared to a new 29 dually. I have a mate who just plowes thru everything with no skillls on his 170mm travèl 29 er and he servives somehow .???

So what if it's an old bike? As long as it's not a walmart piece of junk. Sure, a new 29er enduro will make things a lot easier, but there are a lot of awesome older bikes around - even with 26" wheels. The "anything that's not the latest geo is a dangerous unrideable deathtrap that you'll break you neck on if you even think about riding it on a trail" is total BS.

Yup, totally agree, I have a few bikes and the most fun is a 2005 Goose Teocali with 26 wheels. This video and Pauls approach is disappointing, and one of the problems with MTBing, it's a rich kids sport only because of this bull**** attitude towards older bikes. Then again, if you can't ride that well, then I guess you need the biggest wheels and best suspension you can get right?

I don't think this whole "over-biked" trend is as powerful as some people make it out to be. Technique is still many times more important than having an adequate bike. If you hand a gravel bike to a world cup pro, he'll still be way faster than you on a top-end DH bike. Yesterday I was riding jumps on my fixed-post full sus XC bike, I saw 4 riders with ff helmets and super enduro bikes, studying my technique. Gear doesn't matter too much.

I just got a brandnew bike 3months ago and I have to agree with you. I am probably way overbiked! But a few reasons I still got it were that first of all I could afford it and it really was something like a dream bike to me. Now that I have it I am super stoked and don’t regret anything! Second of all, now I have not a single excuse for why I can not ride down this or can’t jump that, because I know my bike is capable of it. So it just comes down to me and that helps me overcome my fear and get better at riding itself

Great episode Paul! I think it's an important thing to highlight for all the new riders that have been coming into the sport in the past year. Being able to make it down a Black Diamond and Being able to RIDE a Black Diamond are very different things... as a newer rider, you feel like if you make it down alive you've conquered that trail and it's time to move on, they have a lot more to learn on that Black trail. I love that you're giving him a bit of a reality check and asking him to slow down. I think a lot of people would be wise to take that advice, it's too easy to go fast down steep trails... you just let go of the brake, but that's also how you get yourself killed. Most people that are just learning to go fast down steep trails haven't been killed yet so they may not understand the risk.

C'mon now. Newer modern bikes are easier to ride, but that doesn't mean the older bikes weren't capable. These people act like they get a new 6 thousand dollar bike every year and assume other people do too. Not just this channel, just referring to most of the mtb content out there. I'm just always more impressed with riders riding cheaper or older bikes, promoting riding what you can afford.

Nice 'let 'em eat cake' moment there Paul. It's not what you meant, clearly. But the guy on the high end carbon bike pointing out the other guys old alloy bike? I cringed. This gent needs more time on single black diamond trails. I've been to Squamish. Nice place. Lots of really good single black diamond trails. Challenging ones too. Shaun needs to address his braking. He further needs to address his body positioning. Lets hope he can gain the kind of (advanced) braking that those slabs require. And letting the bike move around beneath you... that kind of thing comes with a lot of experience. I'm sure he'll do fine. Make sure he understands the risks... Lawyers are watching.

Meh. I ride a '99 Superlight with rear V's. :D :D :D Tossed in some KoolStop pads and she's as good as new. Did find a SID front shock pump up adapter last year, so that was a nice score to tune that up. :D To the sky!

Hmmm does he have a roadie background? I mean he basically had a roadie helmet and he was worried about grams. Not to mention he looked real stiff. All common things you typically see when someone makes the transition from road bike to mtb.

Im seeing a lot of statements in the comments regarding old bikes, and how paul is addressing some of these bike "issues". One thing everyone needs to realise, sometimes its just EASIER to replace things, than it is to wait weeks and weeks for new OLD parts (standards etc). Of course, being sponsored makes it even easier. Since paul had a bike to provide, why not right? Honestly, though, the thing that kept getting me was the...lack of ..... understanding where hes at, bike maintenance etc. Maybe I am deluded, but even when I was getting into MTB 10 years ago, if soemthing was wrong with my bike I NOTICED. Monitor that shit. How are people unable to go "Well that doesnt look right?". Good for him getting into it, but holy smokes it was painful hearing it in the video regarding some of the things he was doing wrong. Maybe it was just the way Paul portrayed it, I dont know. Either way, sweet video, wicked to see another rider getting into the sport! After riding countless days in WBP, I am still stunned at the lack of risk management of some people too. There is a difference between being "Dumb" and "Pushing Limits". its really good to see Paul putting the time and effort in to educate newer riders in the sport and show them the light as to how amazing it can be when you manage risk, keep your bike and gear in safe/working order. Etc etc

This couldn't be helped with the bike he rode, but I personally have a rule against installing new parts at the trailhead as it invites errors such as the cleat position.
