Great Video. My wife and I went for Nevo GT’s with Big Bens and Supermoto X. We’ve found them surprisingly manageable on quite a few of the ‘Milder’ trails around us. First time the bike got a little sideways was two days ago on a dew slick grass bank around 30% slope. Agree 100% with this video. After hours on road and gentle trails about a 60/40 split I wouldn’t go for GX. Thanks as ever for the best advice videos out there. I may be in UK but your channel the place to go for advice.

CHRIS THANK YOU FOR THE COMPARISON OF THE SUNTOUR SUSPENSION AND THE FOX SUSPENSION .
@Plekteret044 жыл бұрын
I have got the Urban: Kenda 27x2,1 on my E-bike and the alternative is offroad: Schwalbe 27,5x2.15. I feel that the Kenda(with knobs) is safe on dirty roads with loose surface, and also is fine on wet asphalt. The grip is really good. The E-bike is designed by the shop( their ovn brand Elride Prime Urban with Bafang Max-drive), and is factory direct price. Thanks Chris, for all info you has given us about E-bikes.

Thank you Chris! I have a Superdelite GT, changed the tires and pedals and added a dropper post. Nice to hear your perspective. Really questioning if I should go for the Fox suspension. No matter what, I love my bike.

Thanks for this video. When I purchase my R&M Delight GT I will ask the dealer to take off the super moto x 2.4's and fit the schwalbe 2.25's Marathon Plus MTB's. I swapped those on my 2019 sduro trekking 7 and the difference on even grass or trails has transformed my current bike. The other factor to remember is the MP mtb's have much better puncture protection over the SM's. Cheers

Yes, you can get studded tires, but this would be an aftermarket upgrade. The Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro is a good option.

Chris, as always, very informative and useful stuff. I have a Superdelite GX on order, optioned with Fox upgrade (build should commence this week!). Can you recommend some appropriate initial suspension settings for a 210lb, 6’1” rider? My riding will be maybe 40% grass/gravel and 60% paved, but sometimes rough, bike paths.
@macmovieman14 жыл бұрын
I did not understand how the Fox upgrade for the non-GX bike would effect the front travel. You mentioned that in the GX you would get up to 150mm of travel so not sure what to expect with the Fox upgrade for the non-GX version?

Was surprised to find out recently that once the new Bosch update is done on the Gen 4 motors, the torque will still be less than it’s always been on my Specialized eBike. Credit where it’s due to Specialized. But that Supercharger 2 still seems like an amazing bike. Hope more makers start to have the dual battery option for those big days out.

Thanks, this was super helpful. Can you explain why a fully tubeless tire increases maintenance? I had always thought (hoped?) this would eliminate it.
@Propelbikes4 жыл бұрын
It does help prevent flats and allows you to run the tires at a lower pressure, but you do need to occasionally add sealant and you definitely need to add air often as with all bike tires.
@cyclefrst77993 жыл бұрын
Latex based sealant will dry out as you add more fresh air into the tire.

Hello, great videos. The adjustable seat post; can it be used on other bikes…..such as the Hyper e-bike mountain bike…..a Walmart low-cost e-bike….? You keep saying that bike shops will help you etc….Let me tell you that an independent bike shop in my town refused to work on any e-bike that was not sold by their shop. What was USA bikes has been taken over by TREK….You call the shop and get a message to leave an e-mail…..”We’ll get back to you ….Thanks for the informative videos.
