Yes! I own a 4XL DirtySixer and ride a mix of tarmac and gravel with some rare single track moments. Those 36er tires just eat up bumps, roots and curbs like they are nothing. The issue on single track is my wheelbase- It's so long that steep switchbacks can be a challenge to navigate. But it is “hugely” versatile.

Heck I even chose to ride it over my roadie for my last metric century. This video was hilarious, and I also get so many looks, comments and photo requests when I ride my DirtySixer- never a dull moment. And yes- the braking is EPIC!!

Very interesting video! Didn't know Conor was actually the tallest rider to complete a grand tour! On the double rotor topic... It isn't so much about power of brakes, but the modulation. If you take a regular rim brake, you can still lock the wheel while braking... But the key is to be able to brake as hard as possible without locking up the wheels. And here's where discs are superior to rims... And why two discs are better than one - motorbikes have been using double front rotors for ages. Great video guys, more of such content please!

Conor is the same height as me and I own a 4XL DirtySixer. A 4XL would be just right for him. It steps down to “only” 190mm cranks, but fits me perfectly. The 3XL has 180mm cranks which I felt were too short for me as I am so used to my 200mm cranks on my KHS Flite 747 roadie.

As long as a brake has sufficient power to lock up the wheel, there is no point in adding more braking power (for single braking events. If you'll be braking repeatedly without giving the brakes time to cool down, adding more swept area or doubling up the brakes can help accommodate repeated braking). The tire is the only thing that gives traction, so when stopping, the stopping distance is entirely a function of the amount of traction available to the tire - again, only so long as the brakes have enough power to lock up the wheel. As such, Connor being able to stop so much faster was mainly due to the fact that those tires have a massive contact patch compared to a road tire (even though they have some amount of tread). I also suspect that part of that performance was due to the fact that Hank barely moved backwards on his bike. With the road riding position being so forward leaning, a lot of the mass of the bike is already centered over the front wheel, and this is made worse when under braking. So when Hank yanked on the brakes, all of the weight transferred over the front wheel - so much in fact that the rear wheel locked up entirely, which means that the rear wheel was contributing almost nothing to slowing the bike. If you were to re run that braking test, I suspect that Hank could stop faster if he actually performed an emergency stop, where the rider leans back as far as possible, so their butt is behind the seat. The road bike still may not reach the same level of braking as the dirty sixer, but it could definitely be a lot closer. Connor being on such a big bike means that his center of gravity is relatively centered in the first place, which inherently helps the braking performance of the larger bike without the rider having to shift their weight, which allows the rear wheel to contribute much more to braking than the road bike. TL;DR: The huge wheels and tires mean that there is so much more contact patch for the big bike that it stopped faster. Hank also didn't actually perform an emergency stop (he didn't lean back) and locked up the rear wheel of the road bike, which reduced the effectiveness of that braking system. And no, the vast, vast majority of riders do not need dual front disc brakes as the discs on their own have plenty of stopping power in single packages. Additionally, if you don't have enough stopping power, you would be better off adapting your brakes to fit bigger rotors on the frame rather than doubling up.

To be honest: alot of the components have a limit weight that is too low. I'm 2m and 115 kg and already have to look for those things. And I've got several friends which are ~185cm and are heavier than me. So it's a general problem and not a pure sizing problem.

finally the 36' came back into the canal, too bad the parts were too big for them, the crank could be a 170mm one without a problem, lowering the stem would help, just making the bike fit for a normal person on the 36' frame would greatly improve the overall performance. and would not be treated as something from another world

Probably low stem+ reversed riser bars. Gets you a nice relaxed high hand position in the middle too. I think reverse Stem would look odd here.

Liked the video so much! Really appreciated it and the info! Maybe you could also do a video testing the Jones bikes, Jones touring bikes (allmost-mountainbikes). Also with big wheels and a special modified handle bar. Kinda of a niche bicycle with some people that like it... like Ubuntu operating system for some. They have website, YT channel and all'o'that..
