[@justsayin3600]

Do you use stanchion oil on the outside of your fork and shock?

[@remymetailler]

@@justsayin3600 No i do not

[@GaryDonosti]

If you see a muddy chute either commit or bail. Once in it, you're there til the exit.

[@arthure-b9895]

Supporting your channel is indeed a Pro Tip

[@travisg2410]

Remy, I didn't think you knew the word slow.

[@ghensold]

The discussion about geology and erosion is VERY much appreciated! This is something we need to pay very close attention to as the sport continues to gain popularity and trails get older and more eroded.

[@Slipperygecko390]

E bikes.

[@ghensold]

@@Slipperygecko390 Yup. Making the sport accessible to tons of people who wouldn't do it previously because of the physical demands. Trail use is going to keep getting more intense.

I take a bag if soil to the top of each trail i ride so it doesnt all end up at the bottom

[@justsayin3600]

Remy man, the quality of the filming is on the same level as GMBN, and Pink Bike. Very professionally done! Thanks for the Pro tips too🤙 My Fox Speed Frame helmet, CushCore and Maxxis Agressor tire will be delivered today from Jenson!

[@remymetailler]

Thank you! Yes I paid for Influx Productions to make the videos for me. He did a great job. The reason I can do that is because of the support you guys send me with your purchases here: bit.ly/39xojyn

One of the best "Wet Riding Tips" Video i watched so far. Covers pretty much all the important things. Keep up the great work Remy. Greetz from germany.

[@jonlane3864]

Thanks for bringing awareness of when and not to ride the trails based on its conditions and what we as riders could do to make the trail better in the long run. As always, awesome vids!!

[@lionelcazes907]

Only a purist can see and note Remy's secret Opinel tool. This is a must have when you want to ride and live wild. Chui fan !

Great to be in one of yours vids again, Remy! Fun little shred! Was stoked to share some trail building thoughts.

[@BikingwithJP]

Remy great tips! Be light on your bike, especially off camber where you need to be easy on the brakes, rocks and roots get very slippery, attack roots at 90 degrees!

[@fathernojoy2706]

Love the murdered out look on your bike brother, The blue against that black is fire.

[@pierrebroccoli.9396]

Good Tips. Had a nice ride today in new snow conditions with roots and rock. Fun.

[@islandaerial3414]

Great tips! I use the removable fenders that clip under the head set and, the rear to the seat post. I also use hiking gaiters when it is real muddy. Along with the saw I carry pruning shears for Blackberries and Alders

[@isaiahpitts5240]

I really appreciate the knowledge you kick in your videos. There's tons of vids out there of riders shredding and that's cool but I like how you always emphasize the strategic element from technique to line choice to bike prep. I've learned alot from your content and will continue to apply it to my riding. You tha man Remy!

Ah Remy, il te manque du vin, boursin et du pain avec ton opinel, great vid thanks!

[@cogetoergo]

Relevant topic. When you live where you can ride year round... Did a few (small) loops up on Burke yesterday. Wind blowing hard. Power pole on fire after something big took the line down... Dark and hazardous in the woods. Hearing thump thwak thump all around me as big things fall from those old growth trees. Rode swiftly with the anticipation that something was going to clock me on the head at any moment. ...The bike perfomed wonderfully. Tracked with confidence. Hugged the ground. Kept composure over a multitude of oily roots. What did I do to the bike to prepare? 18 psi in tires. Few clicks slower on the rebound. And I let a psst of air out of the fork to soften up the nose... probably about 30% sag... and no less.

[@remymetailler]

You ll see my tips!

[@cunning-stunt]

A stone in the eye convinced me to run a MH all year.

[@robrider838]

[@fouganza60120]

Bonjour Remy. Vidéo très intéressante, encore une fois 👌. Tu dis baisser les pressions de tes suspensions. Mais dans quelles mesures? L'été, tu es à combien? Tu baisse de combien de Psi? Quant au rebondissement et compression, tu ouvres de combien de clics? Guillaume (France) Ho Remy. Super vidéo, as always. You said you lower the pressure of your suspension but how many? You ride with how many Psi in Summer and for what weight (you seem light 😆) And about rebound and compression, how many clic you open? Guillaume from France

[@remymetailler]

Salut Guillaume tout depend de la temperature. La difference est assez légère. Quelques clicks seulement. Et environ 5 psi.

[@alexploch730]

Hey Remy very nice and interestingly to watch how you ride in wet And you bike looks like so perfect But I have a question I had ask you on Instagram what bike for me the best is and what travel I need and then I had buy a trek slash 2021 and it’s perfekt thank you for this but it weights 16.4kg and it’s a Little heavy. Did you say the weight is important or not LG Alex

[@remymetailler]

The weight does not necessarily matters. Weights usually means strong and good dh performance. Of course it s not ideal to pedal though..

[@jacco2952]

Dude I cant ride like that in perfect conditions. Looks very smooth, great trail explanation!

[@lux-3001]

Am I the only one here eyeballing these prototype tyres you have? :)

[@enriqueshadah7262]

Hey Remy, strongly suggest that you ask these brands to give you a promo code we could enter. I need anti-fog glasses and will likely shop Jenson USA. Coming to KZbin to get a link in your channel to go shop is a pain. With a promocode, it's easy.

[@remymetailler]

A lot of brands will not want to do a promo code because there margin is not enough. Clicking on Jenson Link actually supports my channel which allows me to invest more money into making better videos.

[@enriqueshadah7262]

Great. I clicked on the link. Thank you.

[@remymetailler]

Merci!

[@christernyqvist3116]

Rain? Winter?

[@JP-kq3lk]

Remy. Do you use a spacer under your cleat ??

No i do not but that is very shoe and pedal dependent.

What whaler bottle and holder do you use?

[@ewartbuilt660]

Tend to run a little slower rebound in the wet.

[@remymetailler]

Because the impact are less I actually like a little bit faster.

[@markozhyvotkov]

Maybe you have some tips on how to stop slipping from my pedals when it's muddy?

[@remymetailler]

Better shoes and pedals?

[@imspecialized9]

clips. But if you are on flats buy some proper DH shoes with soft rubber.

[@markozhyvotkov]

Thanks! I was just wondering if I actually need those.

[@vincent3793]

How do you anti fog your glasses? I’ve tried washing liquid and drying them but they always still steam up. You have any pro tips on anti fog for glasses?

No it is just a new bike. Same, but different colour.

Well to progress you should look at lines. That will elevate your overall riding.

[@meganNefarious]

Are you running those tire pressures with inserts? Those are the numbers I run on my bike and I'm a 5'3 120lb chick lol

[@leanderhovestadt5455]

Hi Rémy, how do you ride only 20psi without loosing your tire in every corner? Is it because the DH casing is so stable? I ride about 29 to 31psi and i love the feeling of stability in the tires to be more predictable. Do you know what i mean?

[@remymetailler]

Yes it depends a lot on your tire but also weight and where you push on the corner. When riding low pressure you have to adapt your riding to avoid burping air. That being said I have never lost air even when making mistakes.

[@partyongarth0]

Leander Hovestadt a lot of track pump gauges tend to over-read by about 10psi. A couple of my friends said they ran 30 psi until I actually put a digital gauge on their tyre and turns out they’re running 17-20. If you think remy is running low pressures I’m running 15 in the front with a rimpact tyre insert. 25 in the back though for me. All personal preference I guess!

How do we make ourselves light?

[@Allsystemsaredown]

Eat less cake? Or, more helpfully...Push down firmly beforehand to get your body moving upwards, then relax your arms and legs a bit so your not pushing your weight through the bike so much. This means you sink down towards the bike again so you can only do it for short distances. You need to time it to match the terrain and where you can get some grip in between.
