Ok, hear me out
A lot of bike brands are calling mullets "MX". But MX bikes have fatter rear tires. I decided to apply this MX style mullet to a hardtail mountainbike. Should you run mixed wheel and tire size?

Downcountry, slopeduro, both of these are mainstream in 2023. I decided to build something truly new and innovative with this gravness bike. I turned my Canyon Roadlite into a gravel bike.

    I had many of these problems over the years. It is disgusting how some manufacturers refuse to provide spare parts for their products. Luckily I discovered that many gun shops where they service old stuff have the capability of makeing almost any kind of weird and unusually dimensioned small screw themselves. I once couldnt find a screw for a derailleur and my local gunsmith just had an identical one in a parts bin.

  • @Mike_Rides_Bike
    @Mike_Rides_Bike 8 днів тому

    Interesting opinion. I found this fork (I have the exact same one) really bad in comparison to the previous years. For me it is NOT plush at all, but rather harsh. It is a pogo-stick for jumping and I cant bottom out regardless the drop or the jump with the suggested pressure. I cant use all the travel even with 10 PSI under the recommendation. Going lower in pressure it gets too soft in the mid-stroke. I wonder whether you are using all of the travel. I end up with all compression at full minus and running somewhere 5-10 PSI under recommended pressure. Very unhappy with this fork actually and will have to upgrade to the new 3.1 damper as soon, as it is available here in Italy. I found the old 2.1 ultimate versions of RS way better for everyday trail and enduro riding. For bike park it is a funny fork, but then I would probably rather look into a ZEB...

    Nice honest review ! Thanks, but it made me doubt what my next bike will be. I am currently riding an Focus Jam2 6.9 from 2022. My rear shock almost bottoms out with small table top jumps and low drops. I was looking for an emtb with more travel on the rear and front and more range and the engine front Bosch. Since you can't recommend this bike, do you have an other suggestions ? I love trail, enduro and I an bit heavy rider 91 kg with gear.

    Throw away that Gates belt and get a chain. You will be much faster (about 2 km/h) and cycle further. That's 20 km difference per day on a longer trip. Ant that shifter is a monstrosity.
