[@victorbannerman6067]

*Just an awesome **Latest.Bike** ....well constructed, sturdy, great looking…got me back out on the trails!! Could not be happier!!*

[@booger5514]

Bernard is a sponsor’s dream! Professional, competitive at the top level, very entertaining to watch, and is a knowledgeable, genuine spokesman for the brands he represents. Simply the best in the business at this entire package.

Lada man... is that you??

quick pin this comment 🤘

It’s hard to overstate how different this is from a Sam Pilgrim bike build video

[@cameronlaing261]

Yeah Sam just casually chucks 1000 pound shocks about

[@oliverfarrer3316]

No matter who’s channel I’m on I alway see something about Sam pilgrim and how bad he is at assembling bikes

[@cameronlaing261]

@@oliverfarrer3316 it's true tho 😂 man uses a curb to file his forks 😂

[@TheDarrenJones]

Was going to say exactly the same thing. I love Sam, and he's an amazing rider... but I wouldn't let him fix anything of mine!

[@maddog4390]

@@oliverfarrer3316 I'd say it's more his attitude toward things is different. Not enthusiastic and lacks the passion BK is showing

It would be sick if Barney good give us a tool box tour! His case set up looks mint and i love the way it all fits into a portable case.

Brought this exact bike because of your video…. It’s by far the best kit I have ever had.

Just got the orange one. Opted for the black 38. Soooo happy with the way it looks.

similar to the colour of a nissan pulsar gti-r, they call it Winter Green, lovely colour

I was really looking forward to watching Barney use a block of wood to install the press fit bits. Next time.

[@twismata]

What an awesome video, can keep watching all day. Does anyone know what grease and gun Barney is using?

[@siwakorn_summart]

so good

[@MrLunge84]

Barney ASMR King

[@jonathanhowson6420]

I seriously considered buying a Pivot frame just based on the fact that I really like Bernard. The two deal breakers were the pressfit bb, which is an absolute no in my book after a number of bad experiences, as well as the super boost spacing to the rear hub. I made an investment in boost Chris King hubs several years ago and I intend to buy frames to fit those for the foreseeable future. Hopefully the big boys like Santa Cruz and Specialized will keep the 148mm spacing and super-boost is just a passing fad. There wasn't really anything wrong with 142mm for most riders. You could still run 12-speed on an XD freehub.

[@МаратМамедов-ф1ж]

Very cool

[@nousername2483]

The tool you used to cut the bars at 3:00, you should be turning CLOCKWISE NOT ANTI-CLOCKWISE. It cuts without needed burred after.

[@MTBSHOGUN]

Wish I could have one 😅 some day

[@Headlands_CalvaryChapel]

I think you need to have a garage sale. I would fly to the UK from California just to grab some stuff.

[@frankthetankricard]

I think you put the shock hardware on in the wrong order around 4:10 in the video, thankfully it's a very easy fix. I'm quoting from the Fox eyelet hardware maintenance guide: "The 7-piece Crush Washer eyelet hardware assembly is made up of two beige colored flanged bushings that are pressed into the shock eyelet. A hollow pin is pushed through the flanged bushings and centered by black Delrin spacers and Crush Washers on either side of the eyelet. Thin o-rings go between the spacers and flanged bushings to prevent contamination and premature bushing wear. The Crush Washers have raised domed portions that are depressed before installation and take up any play found between frame and hardware."

[@saintberry]

Man, that was relaxing to watch haha. What tyre compound and sidewalls on the DHFs? Do you ever run inserts?

[@natronbetticus]

love the top of trail build-up! you musta been stoooooooked! but which is more fun? the 27.5 mach 6 or the 29 firebird?

[@theREDC0de]

I don't know whther or not you're asking this question to help you with your own decision or just because you're interested in his opinion. But if you're asking for yourself you should really do yourself a huge favor and ride the same trail on a 27,5 and a 29er. The thing is both are great. But I bought a 29er just to later find out that I prefer 27,5. Not a huge problem but I still had to spend time reselling and buying a new bike which could have been avoided if I would have simply tried both beforehand.

[@flashman2008]

Super Nice! 🔔

[@darrenwilliams6827]

Sick!!!

[@carpetburger]

buddy you need a radio mic. love the vid.

[@ryananderson9394]

What about the green pistachio fox 38?! It’d look bomb on the green firebird Bernard!

[@7hhuman995]

Yo, I seer you used Shimano dura ace grease in your bottom bracket shell... Is this so you can easily swap bottom brackets, swap for fresh bearings? Seems like it would start creaking at some point with Bernards extreme pedaling forces. No locktite? Just curious as I'm a mechanic at a Pivot dealer. Thanks, boys!
