Tinker Tuesdays rocks

[@stevenmwinter6920]

Big thumbs up for Tinker Tuesday and to the good folks at Park tool for sponsoring. I really like that park supports playing with bikes like this.

[@dSxGenesis]

Super thanks because John Cougar Mellencamp was my first concert ever!

[@Spindatt]

MAAAAAANNNNN, I'd be singing along so heavy.

[@jerrycaskey4483]

Will donate for long-winded explanations

[@Spindatt]

They shall continue! Thank you so much

[@timleborgne]

Can't wait to see the new vid series:)!

[@Spindatt]

Thank you so much Tim!! I'm hoping I can deliver some entertaining content with FUN vs FAST

The song that kick in at 6:19 is killer.

Noice! Finally received my Spindatt Norton Shirt! Thank you! Your channel was very responsible for me getting my Poseidon Redwood 2 years ago but since have converted it to an ebike! But let's see what my next Poseidon purchase will be!

[@Spindatt]

Amazing! I saw that it delivered in the tracking. Thanks so much!

[@MrRedPony01]

I like your workspace.

[@Spindatt]

I too, really like it in here!

[@murphykenji]

This video is so chill.

[@charlesholland6851]

Good looking bikes! Congratulations on getting to do something on that

[@geneween64]

Just got my black frame, and it looks amazing, fantastic welds, very clean looking, can't wait to build. Since I'm coming from a 99 Schwinn Homegrown I'm getting everything new except my Advent X drive train, and some modern Race face stem/bars i had . Now I'm trying to find a Fork. Found some 150mm Pike (650b), too much travel?

[@WalkerBikes]

Awesome! Fun vs Fast sounds sick. Even with all the colours...the Fast looks...fast and slick I just bought those exact brakes for my trail bike lol - good to see that you didn't need to bleed I cheaped out a bit... Getting the 2 pot over the 4....so I'm hoping they do good.

[@Spindatt]

how did you get a comment to show up with no words!

[@WalkerBikes]

@@Spindatt great question? Idk haha

[@milehighbiker]

Thanks! Awesome video as always! What do you think is the widest 27.5 tire that will fit the rear of the Norton?

[@Spindatt]

Right now I have a 2.6 in there! I would't go any bigger, I'll also be interested to see what effect a wide wide rim has on that fitment. Thank you for the support!

[@milehighbiker]

@@Spindatt Awesome! I have 2.5s to put on mine when it arrives:)

[@morganrowe]

A man after my own heart...too lazy to bleed both brakes! I've even got a coil on my front brake where I couldn't be arsed to cut/bleed it 😂

[@charliecook6909]

Fast Norton looks full on awsome 🤙🤙such a great fan of a 29ner hardtail with slamed bars looks tasty as

[@cheut]

Have you considered shortening the travel on the fox 32 down to 100mm so the geo is more comparable to the production model? When you take sag into account, a 130mm 27.5 fork and wheel is very similar in length to a 100mm 29er fork with its wheel

[@Spindatt]

The 120mm fox was actually about 1/2 to 3/4 inches shorter than the suntour 130mm

[@martinezfamily9384]

Very interested in a norton... will the stock fork fit a 29er wheel? Online the fork appears to have plenty of spare space. Frame looks interesting as a possible mullet or 29er depending what you want to build

[@wholsen]

What do you really think about your HUNT Trailwide wheels. Haven't seen them on your show in a while....

[@Spindatt]

Hubs are nice, I wouldn't buy the rim again. I'm way too sketchy while riding and they dented like soft butter so easily. Thank you for the support!

[@tomatostakefabrik9429]

Oh onething, I dig the space, but part of me is stuck in the " in the shed now no more shop... I will get used to it" to now " no more shed cool huge space now? I will get used to it" great video

[@fabriziozm]

Looks fast!

[@donovanrice2671]

Great content as always! Bikes are looking dialed!❤

[@miquerto]

ESI grips? I love those. If another brand other than Wolf, do tell please...

[@JMx5]

Do you know when or how much just the frame will cost?

[@Capriboy1972]

Looking good 😎😎 awesome looking bikes!

[@nathan.4130]

Will the Norton frame fit a 29 x 2.35 tire? I know it's meant for 27.5 but I have a set of 29" wheels and tires sitting here already.

[@Spindatt]

No it wont

[@RideShagbark]

@@Spindatt What size tires does it top off with on 29er wheels? I see Poseidon now has the frames available instead of the full build.

[@stephenshepherd5068]

It’s your bike, so you can ride it dirty. However, maybe the number 1 upgrade to any “fast” bike is tires. The tires on the fast bike have to go. OEM level tires will be slow in all know bike traveling directions.

[@Spindatt]

Thankfully this has some killer Panaracers on it!

[@tomolonotron]

Is the trifox still up and running?

[@Spindatt]

my brother has it.

[@greghunt6183]

Why is it that they don’t list the standover dimensions on their website?

[@toddtucker4602]

I'm team Fast Norton!

[@KeoOutdoors]

is a frame only option going to be available?

[@Spindatt]

yes

[@geoffreypaquette]

Love the content!

[@MxCraven]

God I love how XC bikes look...

[@tomatostakefabrik9429]

Dirty parts need love too!

[@tambosnipes1652]

Hiw would this. Ike be with a ridgid fork?

[@Spindatt]

You'd need a long one, I don't know much about MTB rigid fork ATC lengths though

[@joecozzo5476]

Wgat size rear tire?

[@noburt9]

I love Tuesdays I got free donut after class I get spindatt video And went on a bike ride today I don't know if it can get better today

[@bsowhat]

What 29” tire width did you fit?

[@Spindatt]

2.1, but they won’t fit on the production frame cause the chainstay is thicker/stronger

[@bsowhat]

It is a missed opportunity to make a more versatile bike that can take 27.5 or 29” wheels.

[@TimSomero]

@@Spindatt- Hi! So on the production frame, can you not do 29 in the rear at all? on the website it does say 29 inch possible in the back up to a 2.1 inch tire. If that’s not the case I’m going to be really disappointed because I just ordered two really nice 29 inch rims. I also built a 27.5 inch rear rim to try a mullet as well. So I guess it wouldn’t be the end of the world

[@KoroWerks]

The music you play to avoid getting demonetized is David Cutter right? Is all their stuff royalty free or are they just a bro?

[@Spindatt]

Nope, I use Epidemic sound. There’s a monthly fee but the selection is pretty good

[@KoroWerks]

@@Spindatt thanks for the reply

[@nedasay6978]

My brand loyalty ocd compels me to get the white Norton Slx crankset to be installed on the Yellow one for the sake of me.

[@Spindatt]

LOL I personally think cranks are a swappable non group option that can go anywhere

[@deflatedcyclestuff8129]

You tired? Or did you rub some brake fluid on your eyes? Little redder around the eyes than normal.

[@glennpettersson9002]

What does he mean too much money on bikes 🤔

[@Spindatt]

LOL I don't expect to ever learn any lessons from those words either. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@Vitusvonatzinger]

You need a platform that won’t drive you crazy.
