loving the voice crack when mark says saddle at 4:06
0:39 just gave us the finger
Hi I know this is completely unrelated to the topic of this video, but does
anyone know if it’s possible manual with a 27.5 downhill bike? because I
can manual fine with the 26 dj that i have now, but I’m getting a 27.5 dh
bike this winter and I’m wondering if it will almost be the equivalent to
trying to manual a 29er.
Thanks
0:40 marc giving us a little hand gesture there
what is the max amount of suspension one should have on a trail bike while
still being able to climb efficiently
It’s all about keeping those nuts nice and loosey goosey!
I really like you guys, so far you guys are the only ones that help me with
mountain biking, but I don’t have any money do you guys have any tips for
spending less on a mountain bike
awesome video as always!
could you do a video on how to install a dropper post, would be great!
can you do a video to setup suspension with springs for us downhill guys
cause they don’t have air (obviously) and for noobs like me rear suspension
set up would be great
I know downhill bikes are not for pedaling but on the trail I ride at I
have to ride up a 50 meter hill and it’s hard any one got any tips for
pedaling or cheap chain rings that will help?
The ball park is very important in determining your saddle position. At
least for 50% of riders…
what bike is that its sick
Is there a video on how to install and set up a dropper post? Im thinking
of buying one soon, it would really help.
Firstly, great video as always guys, this channel has a lot of quality.
Secondly, i have a question for you. While riding my bike my weight is
right on the centre of my seat, which is a bit uncomfortable. Do you guys
think that i need to tilt/move the saddle to bring the weight back a little
or the size the bike is not correct? Thanks
What are the benefits of having your saddle closer and further away? I’d it
just comfort?
You guys should make a video about stem length and height. Great video
guys.
That voice brake at 4.06 haha, Don’t think we didn’t notice Mark
2:57, look at the position of the saddle and then look at marks face xD
For XC, high as it goes.
The background music makes Mark words more…romantic ahah sounds different
from mtb style
Which seatpost do you have?
You’re good at holding nuts Mark?
