TOP 10 Favorite upgrades to my Custom Propain Tyee

[@mtbjon3587]

The best thing about not having a bed sponsor is the level of customization you can do on your bed!

[@Frorideism]

Yeah I feel most people are dishonest in how much they oversell their bed setups in mtb videos

[@mytharamou]

This guy is so underrated! One of very few honest bike review you will find out there. Keep up the good work !

On the wheels. I just bought some Hope Pro 5 hubs, which I am going to build up with some DT Swiss FR541 rims. Good to see you made it out to Canada, we ride mostly at Vallåsen Bike Park.

[@Frorideism]

Ohh yes was looking at the hope pro 5's too, looks like a good mix with the fr rims too, Also I found a pair of CB synthesis for a very decent price but I've only heard shite about their hubs so I don't know.. Oh well then we've maybe met some time haha I used to be there every other weekend a few years ago 👍 Love Vallåsen

[@DandyHippo]

My experience is theres no point running an assegai in the back. Dhr 2 serves the purpose better. Wanna try the contis too!

[@HarryASMR]

thank you for going through in such detail! Love that you're a Hope fanboy (like me) and not even based in the UK, proper dedication! All the best from England! Oh and Ofc Subscribed! :)

[@Frorideism]

'Sup Harry! Well we can't live without Hope dude, 😌 I think I'll feel 100% fulfilled when they release the dropper lever next year.. All the best dude and thanks for following ✌️

[@DandyHippo]

Also that saddle is like stone xD switched it out immediately from a bike I bought used

[@chinooks_]

lost it at "custom bed" XDD

[@mattx3190]

How did you manage the new cable routing? Will stock regular cables work?

[@Frorideism]

Stock cables were too short when re routed, i had to get new ones

[@helori7731]

Amazing bike bro but how did you pilish the deraileur?

[@sandy_knight]

I'm running DT EX511s on I9 Hydras right now, no plans to upgrade but when I do I'll rebuild the hubs with some carbon rims. SC Reserve and Envy are on the list, lets see what the budget is when I need them... 😉

[@Frorideism]

Ohh nice setup! How do you like the Hydras? I'm in between those or Onyx classics, Some dude said loud hubs in BC is good bear detergent though so idk haha 😁 Reserves are lit, but yeah, price tag

[@EnglertRacing96]

@@Frorideism hydras are draggy and slow, and all i9 are sealed pretty shit.

[@Frorideism]

@@EnglertRacing96 I ran a little poll on here, Hydras vs Onyx, Was pretty close but so far more people voted for the Onyx classics. Makes sense Hydras should be slower rolling with all that sprocket engagement

[@alexkish9143]

interesting.. hope rotor wouldnt fit on my Tyee 5 because the inner section of the rotor would not clear the stay...

[@Frorideism]

Yeah frame clearance is bad with the floating discs but: get a pedal washer and you put it on the axle! On disc side, it gives you a bit more clearance to fit floaters 💪

[@jonas6900]

Hi, long time no video. Love your idea with the cables. Think of trying the same with my tyee al. Are there any disadvantages about that? You could make a whole video about that😂 thanks man

[@Frorideism]

🙌 Only thing is over time I wonder if the cables will get rubbed by the chainstay that they pass close to, not sure, On the other hand my previous cables got damaged alot from being so close to the ground so maybe still better off here. Oo yeah may do that 🤔👌

[@bimfred]

Nice. Works angleset is a good one also. My Spindrift is awesome with the slacker HTA and separately with 220 rotors and the STFU. Other than that it’s bone stock and running sweet.

[@Frorideism]

Oh for sure, I was debating getting an angle set and doing the mullet thing with 180 travel up front and counter the head tube angle with the headset , sort of the remi setup.. 220 rotors must stop you quite well na? 🦅

[@bimfred]

@@Frorideism yeah I live in the Alps so the brakes get a lot of use! My HTA ought to be 63deg now (because I run 190mm zeb also and I believe 10mm more fork slackens by 0.5) and I only and seeing an upside to the change, even on less steep trails. I think mullet-ing your Tyee would slacken the bike but I don’t see it necessary to correct it. There is some detail on some of the propain/pinkbike forums

[@Frorideism]

@@bimfred ha yeah those long descents really put them to the test, I did top of the world in Whistler 2 weeks ago and really had to think about not overheating. A lower bb if doing mullet, that's probably my main concern, Hard to choose when buying wheels for 2k 🤧

[@Tequila628]

Subbed, bro, I'm 186cm tall but with a 91cm inseam, wanting to go with an XL Tyee...

[@Frorideism]

All personal preference bro! Some would say I should be on an XL too, As for the bike itself, hell yeah, the Tyee's are great, new version has a slightly different geo but it's very similar to this one.

[@BalticMoe]

Nice video and nice bike. ✌🏼 Maybe there is the chance to test the Tech 4 brake levers once, which are claimed to be an improvement. The calipers are supposed to have remained the same. I am curious about the next Update-Video🤘🏼

[@Frorideism]

Well thank you Moe! 💯 Yeah Increased leverage and new type of 'bearings' on the tech 4s. Caliper is sort of the same but with steel lined pistons, I think going from T3 E4 to T4 V4 would be a very noticeable change but yeah it's not free, Thanks for watching bud 👌

[@mattx3190]

Hey question on the BB. With the ISCG tab adapter did you need to remove a spacer from the bottom bracket? Or does it still have one with the ISCG?

[@Frorideism]

Hey no have not removed any spacers on the bb. Did have to remove the spacers on the actual ISCG bash guard mount recently though since I mounted an Ochain device and the bolts were rubbing against the backside of it.

[@petrutzzz]

For how much time have you had that SQLab 611 Saddle? I just got the same one for my Canyon Torque and I wonder if it will look in the same condition as yours overtime😅

[@Frorideism]

Haha couple of years now, embrace the patina dude

[@mishmashvhs1354]

very nice. 👌 got my frame about a month ago exact same colour. thinking of doing the same thing with the cables at the bottom bracket. so thanks very much for that. and the headset I think I'll go for the same one as well so what exact size is it...?

[@Frorideism]

Nice dood! Congrats on getting a sick bike 😊 Headset is: Upper ZS49 Lower ZS56

[@hangnrashr]

So weird the way experiences and opinions differ. I've built my stumpy evo with Newman EG30 rims, they are 3 years old at this stage and I cannot even put a dent in them. That being said, I do run an insert in the rear but run really low pressures f/r. Had DT swiss 511 rims before them and even with an insert I would dent them every ride. DT swiss spokes yes, rims no..

[@Frorideism]

Ohh you must have a good pair! Many other's have had problems with them, well good for you though 🙌 New wheels are bank breakers

[@TenaTenci]

Hello, its been so long we need update how come you moved to canada?

[@Frorideism]

Hey Tena! Was thinking about including into a video but no one really watches the vlog stuff on here so I don't know about that haha 😁 In short I moved for work, I actively have been trying to move from Sweden for a while into somewhere with a more suitable lifestyle for me. And as it happens got this opportunity in Vancouver which so far feels so good to be honest and feel really happy about it

[@TenaTenci]

@@Frorideism Awesome to hear man! BC is basically mtb heaven haha you got so lucky! Hope you’ll have nothing but good times there! Would be cool to see how you feel about trails and lifestyle there compared to europe. I like the vlog stuff tbh :, D

[@Frorideism]

@@TenaTenci thanks for that! 🖤 Yeah just moved from Downtown to North van too, such a difference, Have a few clips recorded for a first impressions video, we'll see if I put that together soon maybe 🤔😊

[@TenaTenci]

@@Frorideism yess do it!

[@diorez5112]

what go pro settings and mounts do you use?

[@Frorideism]

Hey, for POV footy I use: 4k 30fps Boost hypersmooth Flat color 60 shutter Wind mode + Windslayer Chin mount from R3pro Color correction in Premiere pro, that's where I add sharpness and fix the levels. ☺️👍

What is your height and what size is the bike?

[@Frorideism]

What's good Alex, I'm 187, 6ft1 And the bike is a L Fits spot on for me personally

[@pernyberg2816]

Strange. I rode the NEWMEN Evolution SL A.30 wheels and they, withh upgraded spokes to SAPIM CX-RAY, and they where super good. I'd keep em if the hubs weren't the old version that does not have a MS-body...{sad face}. Not super stiff so pretty shit for bike park laps....which almost never do so ..who cares :P But yeah. The EX511 are really good - but heavy.

[@Frorideism]

I heard that the SL A.30's was decent! Just the eg.30's seems to have alot of problems. Yeah I had the same with my older hope hubs, damn old body... Would have kept those otherwise too,

[@thescerigai]

v4 are supposed to be top notch, only spend like 10k crowns for the setup

[@Frorideism]

Yeah those silver/orange ones looks inticive too 🔥 UNFORTUNATELY I did a full rebuild service on my current ones and they work fine now 😑 Still however I'm pondering if they're a bit weak and heat sensitive..

[@hannes6114]

I thought Newmen was good man

[@Frorideism]

Idk my dude, Iv'e heard people enjoy their carbon hoops! So it's probably not all bad. But almost all I hear about when it comes to the EG30's and also their base model is problems and problems, same for me, spokes coming lose each ride, they feel spongey and well I broke mine in half too. With Cushcore lol. Depends on riding style though, if not pushing them hard I think they're probably as good as any other rim.

Yeaaah right on bud

[@HannyDart]

One of the constants in my life are my pedals. ive got them for close to 10 years now and they have even more battle scars than yours. like an old sperm whale 😎

[@Frorideism]

Got to love a good patina! Almost a shame you tend to get less pedal strikes with more experience.. 🤫🙄 No idea why people replace parts when they're 'worn out' but still functions well

[@HannyDart]

@@Frorideism also in your case at first glance i thought you intentionally chose them for the orange/raw colorway to match the rest of the bike 🤣
