Another good one guys. 🎉

Agree on lezyne, I’ve got the 1000xl which I paid about £70 for and a black diamond head torch which stretches around my helmet (£25) and this combo works really well for short (1.5hr) night rides around my locals. Night riding does make things more spicy for sure 🙃

Total legend and ultimate British ambassador

Hattie is so on the ball. The way she describes the current enduro situation was just perfect.

Plenty of other manufacturers around for lights

Exposure lights are way too expensive....Lezyne are a much better option...!!!

Great stuff guys. Keep it going. Very entertaining. 👍

❤ NOBODY EXPLAIN'S Suspension to a big Muscled 27stone 6'4 power lifter. i guess im just to heavy for a (push bike) and need to go for a Surron E-bike 😂

Thanks gang ❤

Podcast buddies ❤ How was it being on the other chair TRC? 🤘❤️🌈🕊️🌍

Thanks for having us on guys!!!

Water ingress killed it!! LOL that’s why all these batteries and electronics on a bike is no good

How about chassis stiffness 36 vs lyrik?

Can’t see that happening, a ton of my friends have gone back to a normal bike.

thanks MBUK, I really enjoyed that

Like previous version of GX wireless, it is much quicker👍

Top lass ✅👊🏻🇬🇧🏆

Nice.

I never saw this, as its specific for idiots. But reading the comments, it does look interesting. Dang. For us non-idiots, some dialing in is critical to transform a ride from dull or annoying to inspiring. Not smart enough to really gauge fine-tuned high and low speed... wait, maybe I am an idiot! Now I can watch it and find out! YAAAY!!

Ok so the compression settings just sounds like it counteracts the point of rebound settings, or else it kinda is similar to adding/removing air pressure from your shock, or going with a heavier or lighter coil rate? Im kinda lost...

While my non e-bike friends are finished riding after two hours, drinking beer at the bar because they’re spent. The e-bikers are are still shredding for many hours afterwards laughing and carrying on, getting a better workout and having a ball. See you for a night cap!!

Nicely presented, thank you.

What is a G out, can you show it in a video?

i tried "dialing in " my fork last year but a few minutes later i realized the biggest obstacle i ever roll over is a thick leaf .

When you cover the rear shock I would really like to know how much of a difference a digressive vs linear valve tune makes and when you would want one over the other and is one better suited for a certain suspension. I know it's a lot but i can not find any videos going in depth on this subject.

I love everything my Zeb does but i have a question. When i watch myself riding on film, i always tend to be in the middle of the stroke. Like it stays there and doesnt come to the sag point as fast. Up the rebound or the slow compression?

There are a lot of videos where it is explaind what is hi and low speed rebound. I can set the rebound very well in case I have only one rebound dial. I also understand what is the difference between hi and low speed rebound, but even this video doesn't answer the question: How can I know whether the hi or low speed rebound is set wrong and which way? For example: What do I feel on the bike when my low speed rebound is set good, but the hi speed rebound is too slow or too fast? Or what do I feel when hi speed is good, but the low speed rebound is too slow or too fast?

You resemble Wilf Lunn 👍🏻 maybe you’re a bit young for that reference 😂

What I use for massaging pistons is 3D printed massage tool. Just google specific brake you have and add 3d piston massage tool to it. Makes everything way more easier. Doing it once a season, never had problems with brakes.

I have not understand yet what low speed do, any video how does is a low Gs

Aight, let's see if you can help THIS idiot 😂. I bought a Marzocchi 380 CR from a friend and the rebound damper just spins endlessly, any ideas?

The trouble with ebikes... they do attract inexperienced riders. Those who may not have the fitness to otherwise get to the top. For those who are experienced and fit, I'm not concerned with you. You've cut your teeth. You can take care of yourself. Once at the top, you must come down. Some places are too fragile to support an increasing volume of riders. Especially clumsy ones. Some places are a long way from help. If it sounds like I'm gate keeping here, I am. Some people are better suited to the mall.

I look at electric bikes the way I look at those motorized scooters with the basket on the front. You know, the one that one lady rides around at the market. Sooner or later, you're going to need one, but there's no need to be too hasty.

Budget forks? So my Lyrik Ultimates with a single rebound adjust are budget forks, eh. High and low speed rebound... you're just splitting hairs. You favored the Lyrik yourselves on a previous video.

Finally, an honest review with an actual opinion. THANK YOU! Also, thanks for helping me know im not losing my mind. I upgraded my damper to the grip x 2 because i had broke off my rebound afjuster on a rock. When watching reviews i thought i should have been using compression listening to the salesmen. But any amount of clicks above full open felt horrible at any psi. My weight is165-170lbs. And basically same on rebound. Again thanks for being honest. This is needed in the youtube world of produce sales lol. Now i know i should have just bought the lyric or zeb. Lol

E-mtb's cost a lot more and are unreliable(motor+battery). Another problem: average life cyclus before comes new motor, battery etc : 3 years. I can stil ride 20 year old mtb's: parts easy to find.(I do in winter). Try to find parts for a 5 year old e-mtb. We ride an e-mtb tandem. What I hate is range anxiety and the constant worrying how long is my motor going to last and how log will it take to replace the motor. Will i still find a new motor? For piece of mind I bought an extra second hand motor. Many people are unable to ride their e-mtb for months when a problem appears. Small problem most of the time means new motor and battery. After fiver years : tailor made frame ready for dust bin if problem comes. Not possible to mount new motors. I think more attention should go to longterm reliabilit than to always new developments who are unreliable. But e-mtb's have also positive sides: easy to stay in the right traing zone, when u get older and recuperation of long rides takes longer it's good to have an ebike for multi day long rides.Ride ti the start of a track with e-mtb instead of car etc. But doing an impossible or very long steep alpine climb on a mtb or an emtb: on an mtb : wow if I succeed. On a emtb : no satisfaction, not so rewarding. On an e-tandem u can climb the sky sitting an your saddle(you never lift your frontwheel and there's always power). But on, the other hand on an e-tandem I can share everything with my wife.

Old GX AXS was garbage. After 3 years on XX1 AXS, I went with GX and each only lasted a few months before being misaligned. Mechanical X01 has been fool proof

So, a failed derailleur due to water ingress after only 2,000km? Meanwhile, my old beater (Whyte RD7) with whatever derailleur system has had zero drivetrain issues, beyond new cassettes, cables and chains, after 20,000+ miles. And those replacements were few and far between Really can't stand the desire to make everything electric. Especially when those systems aren't compatible with other drivetrains.

Changes gear slowly, costs a fortune, vulnerable to water, got it.

Been trying to destroy my Deore M5120 for 2 years, pulley got bent after a crash, was able to bend it back to and shifts pretty well 🤣

Unfortunately I found it difficult to hear the honest review over the sound of the relentless slurping of big daddy SRAM's schlong. The mech died well within 2000km - and this isn't an isolated incident - yet it's brushed off as ok because it was replaced. Manufacturers will continue to churn out substandard, disposable tat until they're actually held accountable, but obviously the mainstream bike media will never do so or they'll lose their precious ad revenue.

Right now I wouldn't get an E bike, but surely I would get something that could turn my Enduro Bike into an E bike anytime I wnat. Something like an external mottor.

If you want to ride off road and you don’t want to put the effort into it to pedal up the climbs, get an off road enduro motor bike instead.

83.000m over 2000km... I'm sorry but I find that hard to believe. It would mean every 40k ride would have to contain an average of 1660m of elevation. While it isn't impossible ofcourse, but I'd like to see the data backing that claim.

I don't think the majority will ride a motorised MTB in 5 years. I do think eMTB's have their place in this modern day and age. What I really hate though, is since the acceptance of ebikes, normal bikes are getting named analog bikes, or bio-bikes or anything like that. I refuse to accept that part.

Oh, Brendan is still butt hurt about the Rampage judging is he? Get over yourself Brendan your time in the sport has come to an end.

i am perfectly happy with my wired GX

I’ve done just over 2k on an ebike using XX, had to change the cassette and chain as I was measuring the chain but you need a different tool for the flat chain so it was saying it was fine but when I used the correct tool it was shot and so was the cassette🤦🏼‍♂️ my chain ring on the other hand doesn’t have any signs of use! I use a GX cassette and chain now, see how that fairs?!🤔

Who shall we get on next? 😎

I have this system on my new bike. The paddle shifter is probably the biggest thing for me to get used to while riding. It's not quite as intuitive as the non electronic shifters. I did set off on a ride without the battery and the cover one time. Battery was in the car (phew) but the cover was not (garage). Quick bodge with old school tyre patches meant the ride wasn't ruined. I now have 2 batteries and spare covers "just in case". Leisurelakes Cycles warned me that the AXS battery will run down quickly when left on the bike. So far I have not been "caught short" with a flat battery. The shifting itself? Amazing. No complaints there.
