3:44 you can see no freaking difference between the colour of the fork and the frame, thats sooo nice and perfect.

​@@pinkbike I love the camera work and how nicely timed the cuts are! Especially the one where you're tightening what looks to be the axle bolt.

[@javierng9093]

oops nevermind it was a pivot bolt

[@aflay5006]

This is art. Well done to the individual behind the camera.

[@davidthebiker2955]

I love the Magic Mary Addix Ultra Soft too. I run that in 2.6 size in the front and the 2.35 bike park in the rear. Such a grippy tire.

[@pinkbike]

I think I will try the 2.6 soon. I was worried it'd be too wide but I think it's time! it's Junuary after all -Christina

Iv spent time trying to build an enduro dh bike. 11 gear with decent ratio. Lightweight components. And best of all....super lightweight marzocchi 888 world cup 35mm so its not super heavy up front. Soon switching to a 190mm air shock with travel adjustment and a dropper post. So far its been really good.

[@userbosco]

Must be awesome to have sponsors. Nice ride Christina!

[@z0rgg-LUX]

Yep, we all know stickers make the bike faster! But where do you guys get all those mtb specific ones from? I see a lot of bikes with „shut up legs“, „shred till ya dead“, „ride it like you stole it“ -ones, but never found them

[@faceblub]

3:10 sick shot!

[@everest0411]

I would like to ask.... I have watched several videos and parts demo videos.....still want to ask....for a down hill bicycle, if not doing aggressive things (I am not that kind of level and never trained on MTB related skills), is it still better to use DH specific fork like the type you have? Or it is just fine to use the conventional design? Also, there is inverted suspension fork in the market and I checked some online articles about why that kind of design. Since inverted suspension gives better sturdiness, why people still prefer upside-right forks? I have some experience in bicycle building and I think I do like doing it....I recently just got a new frame that is old stock (2008 felt Redemption One). I am debating to use the DH specific type or the regular type suspension fork.....any advice?

[@xx-----------xx873]

I’ll answer. If you are pedalling at all, this kind of bike is utter crap. This is because the 200mm of suspension will bob up and down when pedalling. These forks get their strength from a dual crown, where they clamp onto the frame from both sides. Manitou create reverse arch forks, no-one else does it. I’d reccomend a short travel bike, maybe 150/130 if you are doing any sort of pedalling, as the suspension would move considerably less.

[@sebastiendoucet06]

sick bike!

[@antoinecoche7]

From where to buy the Shimano stickers

[@chrisfontaine6221]

Ha 5'4 on a medium, I'm just under 6 foot and ride mediums. Good to know my shorter friends can ride my back up if they ever want to give mtb'ing a try. I just built a 2004ish Brodie Holeshot with 160mm 2009 Fox Van 36's, 8 inch Hayes 9's, Mavic 729's, and a XT/LX 9 spd drivetrain... the only thing not era specific is the tires I threw on a couple Hanz Dampf's but would love to find a pair of 2.7 Nokain Gazza's. Thats the saddest loss to mountian bikes... no more Gazza's :( The 2004 Holeshot was before it's time for sure, same angles as most enduro style bikes these days just on 26 inch wheels

[@nabooska]

[@ieatslag5947]

Trek session cockpits have been known to be on the smaller size

[@chrisfontaine6221]

@@ieatslag5947 as they tweak geometry it might change for me but I'd have to spend some days renting different bikes before I dropped $$ on a brand newy, My friends always bugged me that I should be on lrg's so I finally bought 1 last year (an older Scott) I thought I was doing good on it until I got back on a med specialized and crushed some climbs I was having troubles on with the lrg.

Strip ur bikes down 100% and regrease all the linkages, Treks specifically are notorious for not coming with any grease, 4/5 brand new treks I work on come bone dry. Nice build, but also be careful about the rear linkage, both of my buds that run sessions have cracked their rear linkages
