Christina absolutely kills it as a host on these videos. She has been such a kick ass addition to the channel this year. She's hilarious, gives great info and always seems to be having a good time filming. Not to mention she is a shredder when she gets on the bike. Always looking forward to the next one. Enjoy the now steed Christina!

Having the front fork helps a ton

[@dankmemes2354]

Hard tails are the bikes with only the front fork. They are a nice ride but are a bit bumpier. You can put more power on the road with a hardtail though, because of the lack of rear suspension

Every bike needs a snack storage! Are you running any tire inserts, PSI seems really low? Obviously some of this has to do with size of the rider, but if I run 20psi I feel like I have a flat almost.

[@mrsmartypants_1]

MB: You fall right between sizes so it could be tough. Go to the trekbikes.com website and find Slash section. There is a “Sizing & Fitting” chart. See what you think. www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/mountain-bikes/trail-mountain-bikes/slash/slash-9-7/p/32994/?colorCode=orange_grey It probably would be best to go to a local bike store that sells Slashes and get fitted. Your height indicates medium. Your inseam indicates small. Christina is riding a small. She is 5’4”. See her comment concerning this.

heya! I'm 5'4" and this small is perfect for me. If you like a longer bike then I'd probably suggest the medium but if you want something more nimble, the small with a longer stem could be a good option! -Christina

I got a new old monfraker curve r what I do

[@Primoz.r]

Changing the air pressure in the shock/fork requires bouncing around to transfer the air to/from the negative chamber, otherwise the sag measurement won't be correct. It doesn't have much to do with lubing the seals. Plus, setting up the rear suspension's pressure based on the sag value is, if you ask me, most important, if you bottom out with the given pressure, add tokens. The sag value affects the antisquat characteristic of the bike and having it set wrong can cause the bike to bob when climbing. Even if it is 'all about descending', it makes sense to conserve energy with easy tricks going up, so you can bomb that much harder going down.
