What's The Point Of A Trail Bike That Can Barspin?

[@PeterJamison]

Stoked to share some riding videos on this bike soon! If you have any questions about the setup feel free to drop them below ⬇️

[@mike_millard]

Every time i watch your videos it always makes me feel good about my choice to ride a smaller than the current "recommended" bike.

[@PeterJamison]

Heck yeah, whatever works best for you 👊🏼🤘🏼

[@AaronGurr-nn7uu]

Dude, I am far from the most knowledgeable when it comes to my bike setup, but this video was an absolute pleasure to watch! Every question/curiosity that I had was quickly satisfied with nitty gritty specs and details .Plus the specific reasoning in regards to certain tricks or riding circumstances was a cherry on top. I feel like if any video is labeled a “bike check” it needs to be to this level of attention! Thoroughly enjoyed this video! 👌🤘

[@PeterJamison]

Appreciate the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for watching 🤘🏼

[@jerryriding]

love those in-depth bike check!

[@PeterJamison]

Glad you enjoy them! Thanks for watching!

I like your idea of using a saint mech and swapping a gear by adjusting the cable tension. Very neat! Have recently swapped a bike to single and feels amazing!

[@PeterJamison]

Yeah man it works well! Good little tip is to put the bike in the gear you want with the limit screws, set the cable tension there, and then back out the limit screw. Makes the process super simple and straight forwards 🤘🏼

[@dazmos_65]

@@PeterJamison I'll bear that in mind for future. Thanks for the tip and happy shredding with new setup ✌

Very interesting on spec. I have an SB75 with the Switch eccentric bottom bracket. I’m 63. I have an old dented Turner 4-bar (which I love) rigged as an enduro. There’s a second hand SB165 fully built at my local shop. With the advent of emtbs the Yeti hasn’t budged. It’s been in the shop for two years! Retails at 4300€. Every time I go in it says ‘Take me home’. I’m too old.

😀 Thank you for the info, Now I finally understand geometry and what is more suitable for me. My first mtb had a short chainstay and was comfortable even though it had only 120 travel.

[@robnichols-j1h]

Awesome build and I have enjoyed all your bike reviews and builds. Thank you for creating the content for everyone to enjoy. Could I go off topic and ask in your opinion thus far, what has been the best enduro/freeride or long travel dual crown bike in terms of durability and rider feel. The one bike quiver killer lol. There are so many bikes but you can't believe all the hype on reviews but I value your thoughts or input...Alloy or carbon. Probably a difficult question to ask. Happy biking and stay safe.

[@PeterJamison]

In my opinion there is no one 'quiver killer' for everyone. Terrain and riding ability play massive factors in bike choice. Overall though, any bike between 150-170mm of travel should be able to get the job done for most any riding as long as it is setup properly. Lots of good bikes out there right now! Glad you enjoy the content, thanks for watching 🤘🏼

[@Noondog]

Great minds thinks alike. 27.5, 180mm, 6'2" on a size "large" with 35mm stem and 427mm chainstay. Each persons style of riding and definition of 'mountain biking' differs and it's a cool thing. For me, these specs have always aligned with how I enjoy the dirt, some air, and good times.

[@PeterJamison]

Totally agree! Personal preference is key to mountain biking 🤘🏼👊🏼

super lovely build mate !

[@PeterJamison]

Thank you!

[@Evan-o5s]

The color is so sick, also do you ever plan on backflipping it since it is so poppy

[@PeterJamison]

Sick color for sure! And I actually don’t do backflips ✌🏼

[@riggedupgaming]

so you can add extra steez on the jumps of course

[@PeterJamison]

such a sick bike!! 🤘🏼

Interesting to see the light tune on your Bobmer Air, i want to do it on my Rock Shox Vivid as well, but its cost hell of the money :D Will be cool if you did a comparison. I will know if its worth it. :D

[@PeterJamison]

This video covers my thoughts on a light round tune: kzbin.info/www/bejne/on2cgqBojLCGp68si=uG74DJY5CESLaqYk Hope this helps!

[@Door_lock-f7n]

Super cool build, I recently got a new freeride bike and I want to make it able to do barspins. Unfortunately there is no lift acces where I ride, so I cant run a singlespeed and I would prefer to run a dropper post too. Is it still possible to make it barspinable even with all those cables? I've seen some people put the shifter on the bottle cage mount so I might do just that and get rid of one cable. Would love to hear your thoughts.

[@PeterJamison]

Yeah man you can make it work! Just takes a bit of creativity 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@mtbeer3601]

As someone who sizes down on frames, do you feel you would still do the same if you were using a bike for a different purpose such as racing? You’ve mentioned that you’ve felt a loss of control over the from end with longer frames; is this specific to riding jumps or even other areas as well? I’ve also always been someone who sizes down (normally mediums, 5’11”), but recently thinking about adding another bike to the quiver specific to enduro racing. Im tempted to try out a “modern size large” this go around but also not sure if its worth changing something up that I know I like.

[@PeterJamison]

For other purposes, such as racing, I would definitely ride a bike around a 470mm reach I feel. My Tempo is around that length and feels great with a really high front end to compensate. As far as when I mention a loss of control from the longer frames, escpically with the FRS, that is in regards to jumps 👊🏼

[@alpineimages_]

Bike is DIALED bro!!!

[@PeterJamison]

Thanks Zach!

[@porroco]

YT decoy ebike is the yeti 165

[@PeterJamison]

As someone who has ridden both, they are very different bikes ✌🏼

[@boogiedownbronx73]

so is it safe to say that BMX bikes are now small size double suspension MTB?

[@PeterJamison]

I’m not too familiar with Bmx bike sizing unfortunately ✌🏼

[@jarek3573]

27' doesn't annoy you? I stiil hope someone design official 26' slopeduro bike.

[@PeterJamison]

Negative, I think dual 27.5 is very beneficial especially for technical lines. That said, a mullet with 26 in the back would be rad for jumps 🤘🏼

[@beardoweirdo3187]

Tubeless in the front and a tube in the rear? Is this so you don't burp it trying new tricks?

[@PeterJamison]

Yep exactly!

[@jc6618]

Honestly, what’s the point in half the stuff our bikes are loaded with?
