Refreshing My Trail Hardtail MTB | My 26.9lb Custom Ragley Marley | Custom Hardtail Build

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

What do you think of the Marley? It's been a fixture on this channel from day one.

[@choccolgate2536]

Man i love your vids just hoping i could score a dj to follow your legacy in dj bikes and ofcourse Adrenaline ty for entertaining me and my brother hoping you do more and more of this vids in the future

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

@@choccolgate2536 Thank you. I will keep doing my best. Hope you find a sweet DJ bike!

[@s14tat]

I just rode my friends Marley. I was expecting it to be good but it actually exceeded my expectations. It is a great do it all trail bike that loves to get into the air. I actually have a hard time keeping the wheels on the ground.

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

@@s14tat I've been spending more time on mine lately and the replacement will have big shoes to fill.

[@charlescian1220]

Some lucky person is gonna get a well cared for and maintained beautifully Marley for a fraction of the price. I hope it goes to a good home.

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

Same here. It's going to be hard to let it go. But we have to move on to the next project.

[@yourmtblocal]

Front wonky tyre was a bit of a weird one but the Marley looked sweet by the end! Love it!

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

Thanks. That bike is special to me.

[@MTBTrailRider]

Nice work 🤘🏼

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

Thanks Johnnie!

[@chickensendies]

Did the same thing to my NS Eccentric and it was the best decision I could have made 😁😁😁

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

It's a great way to change things you didn't like too.

[@chickensendies]

@@AdrenalineIsLife Yep! I repainted mine and changed quite a few bits 😁

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

@@chickensendies did you make a video about it? I feel like I only saw a reel or a short.

[@chickensendies]

@@AdrenalineIsLife Yep, I did. It was more of just a build up video like I do every now and then lol

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

@@chickensendies I'll look for it.

[@KeoOutdoors]

Love my Marley, I have the same color

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

It's a great bike!

[@alshal3638]

Beautiful bike!

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

Thank you!

[@jerryspeedbumps512]

I built a size XL marley frame in that colour and built the entire thing myself. Its bee a fantastic hardtail. Bombproof. I have an XT rear mech, carbon post and bars, GX cranks, Manitou Mattic fork. Raceface ARC rims and DT 350 hubs. The bikes in the 27-28 lb bracket I think. It's great! Got a Ripley V4 now though so I use the Ragley as a loaner.

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

Very nice. A perfect loaner. Bullet proof.

[@ThePedro8-25-78]

#1-what bike would you be replacing the Marley with?(because in the Midwest you need a hardtail😎) #2-ryan from the trail yard is a top end dude! I sent my rear shock to him for a full rebuild and hid did a proper pro job and his communication with me was super refreshing givin the way the bike industry has been the last few years! 11 out of 10,would highly recommend!

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

We'll definitely be replacing it with a custom built hardtail. I don't want to spoil it with any more info. 😀 Ryan awesome with suspension. His work is very advanced level. Well beyond basic services. So glad he lives around here!

[@stevebennett3587]

👌great video, how much is it up for sale?

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

Thanks. I haven't decided on the price yet but I'll be announcing it soon.

[@johnsonjay60]

Hey man, what ragley would u recommend that would "climb close to an xc bike, and handle the trails like a trail bike". Probably close to the chromag rootdown. I'm in michigan not much big till u head north. Any bikes you would recommend as my new hardtail list is way too long lol. Always been a Medium rider. If not thanks anyways :)

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

The Marley, Piglet and Big AL are the closest Ragleys you'll get to an XC rig. Very capable on bigger stuff but quick enough on XC tracks. Tire choice makes a difference as well.

[@johnsonjay60]

@@AdrenalineIsLife ok nice great ty! I have to get specs on the ragleys and go from there. I forgot about the 🐖.I did have the big al and the Marley on my list.I just a want a Frame. So going from here I just have to waddle down, and weigh all the options. I plan on going pretty nice on the components it will be a "dream build". I'm in that spot where I gave my ht's away or sold them (nothing special) and ended up with my dream fs bike super customed out.Than got a gravel bike and realize I NEED a ht.. But don't wanna sell a bike I have all chromaged out to color coated ti. bolted u name it. Too much of me in that bike. 2020 Scott Genius. Thanks 🤘

[@johnsonjay60]

@@AdrenalineIsLife I mean more of a trail bike that can climb really 130-140mm up front. I wanna shred down too 🤙

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

@@johnsonjay60 130mm-140mm is the magic number on a hardtail. It's the do everything travel. So fun and playful.

[@johnsonjay60]

@@AdrenalineIsLife definitely I meant 130 -140mm depending on geo. There's a cpl of builds I've seen that were using 120 the kona honzo was one I seen I believe. But yeah I'm looking for 130-140 trail bike that can climb.

[@ekhospin]

Its a M size frame? whats the fork travel recomended for this bike?

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

It's optimized for 130mm to 140mm forks

[@mikeburgh3956]

Im looking at the 27.5 2023 edition. Im 5'7 so wondering what size to get? Med?

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

You're borderline between small and medium. Go medium if you want more stablility and small if you want something more playful.

[@mikeburgh3956]

@@AdrenalineIsLife makes sense 👍🏻 but hard decision lol Appreciate you!!!

[@willlatham2381]

What travel are you running on the forks?

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

130mm

[@YungEarl1]

perhaps you need to buy a new Gopro since this one keeps glitching and dying on you.

[@AdrenalineIsLife]

I have four different go pros, They all glitch from time to time.
