Bike Spec- bit.ly/YetiSB1...
Big thanks to my friends over at WorldWide Cyclery for sponsoring this video. If you need anything bike related, they have got you covered. The use of my link above, generates revenue that helps support this channel. Use your stimulus wisely ;)
Let me know if you have any questions on the bike in the comments below. This will be making a regular appearance on #followcamfriday. Stay tuned friends.

[@natehills9388]

Let me know if you guys have any questions. Life is short, drink tequila.

[@piciu256]

Do you have any taste buds left?

[@romanski-g9n]

Which bike do you ride the most? Also, I think it would be interesting to know which bikes you ride in your videos (and maybe why you chose it for that specific ride) - maybe you could include that info in your future videos?

[@go_rideyourbike]

Digging the new format and the recipe ending 🤙🏼 what made you switch to a separate grinder for the oracle? That much of an improvement when pulling a shot?

[@EpicRev1]

I will say it again and again, you're very good in front of the camera(off the bike)... I love your riding video, but the added humor in your bike checks is the best.

[@joshmorrismtb3396]

Nate Hills day in the life of Pete

[@ioannisparaskevopoulos1120]

I agree on the being overbiked rather than underbiked issue...gets you covered in any situation to come up. Oh, that is a sick bike too!

[@ethanmgodwin]

Sold on the “I can be really stupid on this bike”

[@natehills9388]

All I know..... haha

[@WorldwideCyclery]

Such a clean build! Looking forward to seeing more videos with this beast.

[@natehills9388]

Thanks for the support homies! Hope to make it out there to rip one of these days. Or drink... Whatever is appropriate.

[@WorldwideCyclery]

@@natehills9388 just bring Pete and we'll have a good time 👌

[@michaeltyris3249]

Haha love the twiggy stick and cocktail snippets! Exactly what everyone should incorporate in their videos! Cause everyone knows that's exactly how we do things when we work on our stuff! 👌👌✌️

[@natehills9388]

It's the only way, haha

[@lukemiller108]

Nate, it's good to see those Durets in the background. I remember you throwing those things sideways in the first steep gully & putting up the biggest wall of snow. "bestdayever"

[@natehills9388]

Ah memories... Those were the days. Hope life is good amigo.

[@lukemiller108]

@@natehills9388 Indeed they were. Also....Mezcal. Substitute for tequila (or smokey scotch) in any cocktail. That's makes life good.

[@Jarny-11111]

Absolutely love the content as always. Started biking last year got a Trek Slash 8, and while I love it I will say I always get Yeti fever when I watch your videos. Ride on, drink on.

[@rducut]

Next week on the Hills cooking channel. Nate bakes a bunt cake.

[@andrewcox7416]

I completely agree on the OverBiking, with the right skills you can pretty much make due with a pretty duty rig all the time

[@povteer]

there it is, SB150 ZEBBB edition! 😁🤙

[@natehills9388]

Fancy like!

[@thomasmiddlebrooks5169]

Another well done bike check! I love your build videos my man.

[@samuelmoore4601]

Watched this 20% for the bike talk and 80% for the drink recipe comedy.

[@DnBQemist]

Love the build! It's always fun to hear everyone's tire pressure preferences. I have about 65lbs on you yet run less PSI because I love the squish grip

[@natehills9388]

Sounds flexy 😂😂

[@kfivemtb]

so that's what Nate Hills looks like, i thought he was: long and straight with a stem in the center and grips on the ends! :)

[@jroz8111]

Dude in brooklyn we have a term. " He's F#cking shot" lol thats you love it bro !!!! Keep them coming!

[@bike_somm]

Stoked to see where it takes ya! Chill Vibes as always

[@tmwjr777]

"I'm not a big drinker".... Whenever somebody asks me If I "drink a lot", I usually respond with "Like amount? Or are you referring to regularity?" 😂 🍻

[@jeffschroeder8875]

That last bit was the best part! Please do more beverage oriented videos.

[@natehills9388]

Cooking show maybe?

[@jeffschroeder8875]

Ha, you might be onto something.

[@eugenespreutels8305]

Excellent video Nate, love the info and the comparison to your other bikes. Bike sounds like just what I need. Smash it all.

[@natehills9388]

Thanks for watching Eugene! Smash Smash.

[@AZMTB]

haha, great vid, Nate. Gettin hot (well, it IS hot) here in Phoenix, 116 this coming weekend. Was in Sedona last week, it was PHENOMENAL. Need to get back up there and do some morning rides.

[@natehills9388]

Caliente!!

[@mattbare2803]

Thanks for the Pete cameos and drink recipe. On a side note my wife and I are now hooked on Traction coffee, great stuff 👍🏻

[@natehills9388]

Nice! Great biker owned coffee company to support. Yummmm

[@ElevationEveryWeekend]

Killer bike! I rode/summited Mt Evans last weekend on my Surly ICT, I wish I had 200m rotors front and rear for that descent!😂

[@arrowv1]

I like this guy. Perfect bike, great sponsors and I’m making the drink!

[@natehills9388]

Enjoy the cocktail.

[@70runr]

Great video!👍 really like the channel, keep up the good work!!

[@monicaausnit]

Nice to meet you, Nate 👍🏻

[@bobwalker1733]

Have you tried habanero simple syrup for your tequila drinks? I'm a big fan of the spicy, sugar water. Also, what do you do with your old (used) parts when you get the most recent version?

[@johnglynn7795]

Nate, just browsing today here in Dubai after some great sky diving and sand bashing. You crack me up with this one! Cant wait to get home to PHX at the end of the month for some Tekiller and lime along with some MTB'n in AZ. Blue skies, Jg

[@Bikesands]

Finally a light weight guy that runs real tire pressure. I’m 155lbs and run 25 front and 28 rear. I don’t know how 190-200 lbs guys run 22-23 psi and not have a bunch of flats and tire squirm.

[@natehills9388]

It's all personal preference I suppose, but I am with you. No squirm in my game.

[@da12641]

lol, beef stick with beers is ritual for the last 8 years. sold on the Zeb, I'm getting one.

[@natehills9388]

Only good can come from meat and booze.

[@aaron.bailey]

Ha, I loved my Flexstem when it came out 💪

[@natehills9388]

Never had the pleasure.... Iconic bit of kit.

[@kresokresovski7515]

You made my day with this video, not that it should be important to you, but soo funny these videos are, so do make them more, please. You are very skillful with knife so maybe something about cooking best food for bikers and how to prepare best drinks for biking also!

[@natehills9388]

It is important to me actually. If I can motivate people to ride and make people laugh, than I can sleep well at night. Thanks for the kind words.

[@kresokresovski7515]

For sure you do make my friends and me laugh and ride even more. So I hope yo sleep tight. Now it’s tequila time. Fresh lime all the time!

[@steveloyd2723]

Outstanding! I felt like I got my money’s worth watching that one!

[@joeroberto1901]

Damn boy- bike skills and knife skills too? Winning!

[@natehills9388]

Always against the knuckles. Never not.

That is a Dual Boiler that you are seeing. I have an Oracle in my van, haha. Espresso problems.

[@go_rideyourbike]

Nate Hills badass.

[@chameleonpogono]

Would love to have the wireless drivetrain and dropper. I demoed a bike with a wireless dropper and the push button was easier to use with my RA. When going downhill, it can be harder for me to push levers in since my joints are so stiff. Unfortunately, cannot afford that setup.

[@natehills9388]

Perfect solution for anyone with any sort of hand issues. Super light feel.

[@The_GreenMachine]

came here for the drink, was not disappointed

[@natehills9388]

Didn't want to let you down.

Just keeping you on your toes.

[@MountainBikingTrips]

Bike looks perfect, if you compare Minion DHF vs. Assegai, which is better?

[@natehills9388]

I’m not sure that one is better, I have just been liking the Assegai out front lately in dry conditions. Feels mean.

Evening here in Bangkok and it is 1700 somewhere. Going to enjoy a Patron since I was dear friends with the founder Martin Crowley. Your video was a hit! When I arrive home at the end of the month my eye is set on a Niner Rip 9 29 with AXs blue tooth shifter. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Over and Out. Jg

Sweet bike. Yetis have always captured my imagination. I wish I knew what underbiking was like, I'm 5'6", so maybe I borrow the kid next doors BMX.

[@nathansmythe1500]

When are you going to make a SB115 build video?

[@pjbeattie1]

Wow, we actually have the exact same recipe, including the soda stream water! Except you forgot a small 1/2oz Anejo floater on the top. Its a game changer......

[@natehills9388]

Good call on the floater.

[@pjbeattie1]

Hells ya Nate!!! Mmmmmm. Delicious!!

[@toms4702]

Slice one of those habaneros in two and stick in Tequila bottle to infuse, wicked taste. Not for the faint of heart. Its Thursday..... so I guess we get an additional video this week. Thanks!

It's unfortunate that the Golden Giddyup is now an "old" race...

[@daveandmerlin]

Love watching your Videos Nate . The Zeb looks like it's going to be a Killer Fork and alot better value than the Fox 38 ...well over here in England it is anyhow. I had a fox 36 and had issues with the CSU creaking ,cracking and had to go back under warranty...the first less than a Month of ownership! Did you have any issues with the Lyrik ? Your a way bigger Man than me for chomping down on that ridiculously hot pepper !!!

[@natehills9388]

I have never had any issues with Lyrik, but I am thoroughly amazed with the performance coming from ZEB. Habaneros FTW!!

Interesting assessment of the AXS. I have a 2019 Rocky Mountain Instinct BC which i got an AMAZING deal on it so i put on some carbon wheels, RF carbon bars and thinking of XX-1 10-52 or AXS 10-52, list was $6100.00 and i paid $3620.00 with shipping so a serious savings, a bike shop suggested the AXS but its an extra 500.00 also and wondering if i should go with it?

[@natehills9388]

No-brainer if it only adds 500$. Feels dope.

[@jackbuchen1155]

Nate! If we wanna support you while making a purchase at WWC, we just click that link in the description and start shopping from there?

Yep, that’s all you have to do. Thanks for that!

[@talesfromthetrailz]

What type of coil shock is that? Do you notice more bottom out than the air shock? It's a pretty linear frame so wondering if that coil makes it shoot through travel

[@natehills9388]

This is a RS super deluxe ultimate. It had a bit more of a progressive tune and didn't blow through quite as fast as you would think. Amazing small bump sensitivity. The new 160 is a better candidate for a coil. I would probably choose air on 150.

[@talesfromthetrailz]

@@natehills9388 thanks for getting back to me. Was thinking bout trying a cascade link with a coil. Did you ever try cascade?
