I hate racing ralphs. Much prefer my high rollers
The difference? One’s super fun, one’s super fast.
Make no mistake: a lightweight XC bike is WAY more fun, even for non-racers. Easier to pedal, more nimble… they cost more, but oh so worth it!
she is.not.pretty…..she may have a.nice.body.from.cicling..without make up.she is a 5…….british guys.are.ugly on.average….and.ugly teeth….that why they.have low.standards
Carbon cranks are one of the stupidest thing u could put on your bike
why is there a reverb switch on the xc bike
Very helpful.
There all the same guys.
what does XC mean?
“Smaller tubes so it’s lighter”
Um. wider tubes allow for both increased strength AND reduced weight.
I have a flat bar dual sport and I am wondering what i can do with it whether it road or it be low intensity mtb. I have front forks that i can adjust or lock out, about an 1 1/2 to 2 inches of stem and some what thick tires you could probably still consider them road tires though.
Xc
How hard can you ride a xc bike downhill in rocky areas?
Is she tom last’s sis?
Dude you missed all the talk about drive trains
Hardtail much more likely on XC like a Giant XTC 27.5+
since when did wahmen get to act all masculine
XC bikes just seem so boring. What is the draw to pedaling up terrain when you can be sending down it at triple the speed?
Pretty funny the chick has the more manly bike. All she needs is a hardtail.
cross country is like the road biking of mtb. They might as well het a gravel bike
0:32 ouch.
Idk about you but I wouldn’t have confidence in a carbon crown
$$$$!
i bet the person who designed the red trail bike saw a water filled condom hanging on a rope and thought lets make the ugliest bike ever to get a low center of gravity…
2:10 lmao how can she stand like that
Bar ends!? U mean I can put my old bar ends on my new bike with out looking like a total looser? Totally good, well explained the differences. Neil your at your best with a bike in hand not behind a desk. A+ in presentation.
This whole carbon on xc and alloy on trail is bs, I run carbon on cranks on my dh bike, no issues, good carbon wheels can be stronger than alloy (ie: envy m70, Santa Cruz reserve)
Sample fair turn studio me center initially hook buck
She is more concern on weight, which it makes sense for parts of the trail but she is sacrificing quality and add no’s that could potentially help her in more technical trails…beautiful girl otherwise!
all these fktard comments about hardtails, i’ve had and still have multiple suss bikes.When you gain more experience, ergo you’ve had more than your first suss bike, you begin to understand all the extra maintenance and hassle involved with suss.When you asshats get your first suss bike and have yet to even wear out your first set of bearings, but suddenly think you are better than anyone on a hardtail?
Suspension does not make up for lack of skills so go fk yourselves, i can out ride half of you suspension guys on my hard tail, any trail any time.When you have a choice in your garage, and you still choose the hardtail you’ll know you’ve taken your first step toward being a mountain biker and not just another fucktard
Oh God no, not hb ends
Can I still race a trail bike
I had those same tires on my last bike. great tires. but it was stolen
