[@MrTidjon]

it's amazing the quality of the bikes that "popped out"... here in Portugal, for me to get even the cheapest one would take me 5 to 6 years to save the money for it, and by then would be twice the money lol first time with this type of video, was nice. it's nice to have it on the "normal" rider level, not always the same-old-same-old pro rider with top bike. Thanks for the video and the beautiful scenery. cheers

[@Leo-ss2gb]

It's taken near pretty rough trails only ridden by decent riders on full squish bikes. And they only pull over riders with expensive maaxis tires since it's their channel sponsor - something they should really be disclosing more obviously.....

[@TheChannel1978]

@@Leo-ss2gb LOL good to know, why this all makes so much sense now.

[@samroberts7978]

@@Leo-ss2gb Maybe its true they pick bikes by the tire brand, but I have to say, its rare to see anything but Maxxis tires on the shore, I think you'd have to look hard to find them.

[@concrerto]

First guy said he replaces his handlebars every year “to be safe”. Am I missing something here? I’ve been riding a long time and have never had bars fail me and some I used for a bunch of years.

[@rolux4853]

Especially in roadbiking this is a common sentiment. Even more with carbon. I also don’t do it, but I heard a lot of Roadies talk about it.

[@frankthetankricard]

@@rolux4853 Yeah when carbon goes it goes quick. Your stem will have replaced your teeth where an alloy bar would likely bend. I wouldn't replace it annually but I absolutely would after a crash or extremely hard landing. Not that I have that kind of money, I'm fine with aluminium everything.

[@utahjohn5480]

it's a good move if you ride hard. I also do the same with carbon bars, I typically show cracks in them at 18mo so change yearly to be on safe side. I do NOT want catastrophic failure on that part.

[@MatthewGorveatte]

love it thx

[@addisontrue8769]

Congrats, amazing bike! But what’s wrong with the bars?

[@MicajahMcCurry]

@@rolux4853 not a single thing. They ship at 800mm and my old bars were already cut at 780. Aka I’m lazy. Plus if the person who buys my old bike wants 800mm bars they can keep it or cut.

[@rolux4853]

Ah okay I get it. I’m always to lazy adjusting the wheel/bar position again and reinstall all the brakes and shifters. So I just take off the grips, take my rotational pipe cutter and cut them down. Much less work for me 😂 but of course this works only when I want to use the standard bars that come with a bike.

[@SwolePapi15]

[@gucass]

Hold up. This guy at 7:20 is using a deore derailleur and a Sram shifter? That works???

[@skimork6871]

Since 12 speed drivetrains have such narrow chain and cogs, the width difference between shimano and sram is almost negligeable. with a bit of tuning it can work great and more people are doing it because of parts that are unavaible

[@plmtb3694]

Hey thats me yeah it works perfectly fine👌

[@insanebmxthomas]

shifter just cares which cassette you use. 9sp shifter with 9sp cassette, ideally same brand. They're indexed on each other. But both sram and shimano use similar spacings to cram 7/9/12 gears in, and thats why a shimano 9/12sp cassette will probably work on a sram shifter with some dialing in. The indexing is likely similar. From what i can tell; as long as the derailer can accomodate your largest sprocket in the rear, you could theoretically use any 30yr old derailer with any new shifter and cassette, and it'll work. It's just an articulated arm, nothing more.

[@gucass]

@@plmtb3694 12 speed only though right?

[@atmosphericriverrats]

@@gucass 11speed works decent too

[@nickryan3287]

Changing Handlebars once a year for safety?

must have snapped some bars in the past

[@MicajahMcCurry]

maybe if they're carbon yeah. As strong as it is, its incredibly brittle. If you get a few slams or high impacts youre beginning to play with fire.

[@ncrafterwurst8867]

Why does no one rides Magura Brakes in Canada, in germany so many people ride them.

[@DylanPoulsen]

Quite a lot of people do its just a lot of people stick with the stock brakes on their bike or upgrade to a better brake from the same brand as the stock brakes and not a lot of bike company's put maguras on their bikes as the stock brakes
