This is a trail called WOW out in Midway Utah. I apologize for the lengthy video but there was too much good stuff to show you. This trail is mostly ridden as a shuttle trail but could be climbed. Technically it's multi-directional but I wouldn't recommend riding it up. For more information about me or the channel visit my website at adventureswithclair.com/

23 Zero 180 Degree Peregrine Awning Review
That’s awesome!
The Tim Show!!!
Are they noisy
All depends on your pads like every brake. Also how you take care of them, contamination etc. That being said I don’t think they are the same as any of my brakes.
I think the Mavens would be best suited on heavy cargo bikes . the large calipers and surface area of the pads should greatly enhance stopping power under heavy loads ?
Yeah I bet they would work great on those although expensive for a cargo bike.
This one looks like a bit of an adrenaline rush.
Definitely 👍
Such a rad zone 🤫😋
@LEGENDofBEANY heck yeah 👍
Yo I rode this and it’s lit
I agree ☝️
Fun area. I rode there 3, or so, years ago. I thought they closed the trails to everyone except for those living there. Good to know they didn't. The other downhill trails there are pretty fun, from what I remember.
Yeah those videos will be posting this week.
Looks like a fun trail! I have never been to that area.
Bring your climbing legs and go early there isn’t tons of shade. Some but not tons, it’s definitely worth it though. Something very different and fun.
Sh&tmano people are sure defensive
Some people are very passionate about their brands. I think it could go both ways though.
I love mine too
Nice which build did you get?
Good call on the Instinct, my friend. Welcome to the club.
Thanks
You deserve so many more subscribers than 222
Thanks, that means a lot.
Can you go to Woodward please ❤
I’ll get up there next spring I don’t think I’ll be able to squeeze it in before it closes for season.
where is the tech man, only boring flow trails are created in Utah, I wonder why everyone does even need more than 120mm of travel suspension for those trails...
Utah can be amazing and lame. But every state is its own animal.
I have and it was super dusty 😢😅
Guess I got it on a better day, didn’t feel too bad when I was there.
@@AdventuresWithClair this was just on Sunday after going up then down Pincone. Still super fun though!
@LEGENDofBEANY Nice!!! 👍 good to hear people having fun out there and getting after it!
@@AdventuresWithClair time to get it in before the weather changes and we lose daylight! 😀
That one looks fun!
It’s pretty awesome, we should get you back on the bike now you’re done with kids 😂
Whee!
Heck yeah!!!
You are sending it on that nasty terrain. Great riding!
Thanks, I like to think so. I watch a lot of pro MTB riders and I always feel so slow. It’s amazing what the top 1% riders can do compared to your average shredder.
@@AdventuresWithClair Also what a dream ride with the views, stunning. Cool video thanks for sharing.
Awesome video. This trail has way too many pedal grabbers. In my opinion they didn't do a good enough job removing trees and stumps on the edge of the trail. Broke 2 ribs last year. Any idea who built the trail? Definitely not the crew that's been building all the new stuff above.
Yeah this is a hand cut trail for sure. I’ve almost clipped a pedal or two myself. Hopefully you recovered well.

Brian, You talk like someone who owns a bike that has a kickstand.
Neat steady cam giving us a nice clear central viewpoint. Very cool bro
Thanks my man!!!
I have a 2023 Instinct carbon and it is the best bike I've ever owned after 20+ years on Stumpjumpers and Enduros. The bike is fast, playful, and silent on the trail.
It’s awesome, sweet to hear my man!!!
@@AdventuresWithClair Did you get an Instinct? Looking at where you ride , maybe a 2023 Altitude would be your match. Jenson had great deals on them, and they pedal almost like the Instinct. They had the same frame until this year. With different linkage from Rocky, it is possible to make an Instinct into an Altitude.
I did get the instinct but I put a 160 on the front so it’s a bit more capable. I have the big bike for the really big stuff already.
Great Video Clair! Both directions are good for different reasons. I think overall I like the odd days best. The optional drops, and features make this trail a hoot! The parking lot can be VERY busy yet you don't run into that many people on this trail due to the directional nature. LOVE this trail and the North Fork area.
You are definitely correct, thanks for watching and supporting the channel.
Can´t fully agree! They are a little bit stronger then other Sram Brakes before, otherwise they suck like every other Sram Brake before, plus the HS2 Rotors have awful self cleaning in my Opinion, from time to time, again and again there is always something grinding when braking...
Thanks for the feedback, what’s your brake of choice?
@@AdventuresWithClair brake of choice? for sure Shimano!
Nice to know, I feel a lot of things are personal preference and what we consider good vs bad. Thanks for your feedback.
@@AdventuresWithClair This have nothing with personal preferences to do!
I'll invite any brake that I don't have to crush to get them to lock the tire. I've only tried Shimano and SRAM (not maven) so far, but they all require so much hand force to keep them braking heavily. Maybe I'm just used to supermoto and moto brakes, but I can easily loop my 145lb supermoto with far less force than I use on a normal ride on my MTB. Why all mtb brakes suck I don't know, some companies should really take some inspiration from the rest of the 2 wheel market in lever feel, lever adjustments, and brake power.
Nice this would probably work in a cargo van
It definitely would, awesome setup for a cargo van.
Even though I can't phycially do this, it makes me feel like I am along for the ride:)
Awesome
If the AC is not 12v, suggest removing it. What use is it except to add weight?
I’m not a trailer install expert and wouldn’t even know how to remove it, let alone worry about the hole it would create on the top of my trailer. I’d rather just keep the water and elements out and just keep the AC on top. I doubt it weights that much. The trailer is already super light compared to most trailers.
if you ride flying dog clockwise you are an idiot.
How can you have long term review if they are only few months on the market 🤷♂️
Easy, ride a product a bunch and use over a longer period of time. They were released middle to end of February. That’s 6+ months on them. If you ask me that’s plenty of time to sort out all the issues and give feedback to others on your thoughts and opinions.
How many sets of pads have you used? On my ebike I had with CODE RSC's I went through pads probably every month or 2 at most. I have the Mavens on my new Revel Rail now, sold the ebike.
I’m still on the first set of pads with over 400 miles. Probably depends on braking habits and how you use them. The more you brake and the more you use them the faster they wear.
@@AdventuresWithClair guess I need to let it loose haha
Haha also depends on how steep your trails are also. I’m out in Utah where we have a bit if steep and some medium steep stuff.
@@AdventuresWithClair I work as a travel nurse, so I try to find new trails/locations with great trails. I mainly ride blacks and blues, steep is good. Most of my miles were in CA and Arizona. I put on 3,000 miles in 2.5 years.I guess that doesn't equat to much a month, but always switching up and riding analog bike 1/2 the time.
@@50whatnomadtravelnursemtb5 nice, good to see you getting out.
Great vid! This needs to be directional. I don't know why I run until people riding it in the wrong direction.
There will be a directional trail but this one unfortunately will be multi but I’m sure 90% of us will ride it correctly
@@AdventuresWithClair ya I hear the directional trail is super steep! Can’t wait to ride it.
Which rotorsize did you use and which pad material?
The smaller one 180 rear and 200 front and the sintered pads, louder but longer lasting.
Do yours have a growing bite point? As in if you pull the lever quickly each time the lever stroke moves farther out? I have yet to see one that doesnt do it i have 2 sets both do it bad i have done all the thing per sram to no avail i think its a bigger problem than they are pretending right now
Mine had a similar problem when they were first installed but Bikers Edge in Kaysville did some fancy bleed and adjustment thing and it went away.
@AdventuresWithClair so now they are 100% no pump? I have done the fancy bleed and even a caliper rebuild so far both set I have do it bad and every set I have pulled at a bike shop have done it too
@@thinkaboutit3011 mine feel perfect but maybe I just don't notice what you're talking about. They feel pretty much the same pull unless I haven't been riding the bike in over a week then it feels like I have to pull a few times to get them normal again.
@AdventuresWithClair if you pull your lever normally after sitting for a few seconds hold it where it stops for a second like your breaking then release and pull the lever again and see where the lever stops each pull on everyobe I have seen is like a 1/4 inch farther out each pull and even dually after a few pulls its quite far out. It only does it for fast pulls once yoyr off the break for a second the breaks are normal. Think of it when your ridding tech steep stuff and you lock your rear wheel and have to release and get back on the brakes fast. Once you do that it grabs faster out and throws you off then you do it again and it compounds
@thinkaboutit3011 yeah I don’t have that problem or I’m a crazy guy and don’t use my brakes. 🤣
Imagine that - yee haw pick up trucks hauling bikes IN THE BED OF OF THE PICK UP TRUCK?! (head explodes)
I know right!!! 😎😂😎😂
Oh man, no Bigfoot sightings. See him on the Strava, but no cameo on the YT!
Yeah, poor guy was eating my dust the whole trip.
You’re by far one of my favorite TH-camrs right now❤
Thanks that means a lot.
Always up for any recovery tips.
Yeah I think it might make a good video, I’ll start brainstorming and see what I can put out.
I look forward to it.

Looks like there’s some erosion What are you a science teacher?😂
Haha, I’m glad you understood.

Rocky Mountain Instinct
Thanks

Grate video 🎉 thanks for sharing this video with us
Thanks
The easiest and most practical lube for all conditions with ease of long term care on long multi day, week or month trips. Starting with the first application my chain has never been so clean and quiet. Only other option is Dumonde Tech Original but may have air travel restrictions (Wolf Tooth WT-1 lube is reported to be the same formulation).
Awesome feedback, thanks.
Cool! Do you have a video on just your trailer? I'd love to see that.
Yeah th-cam.com/video/9Pj9Xj2yG78/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HFP1syILeBt2K4Cr
Should have tried the sb140 trail not lunch ride
You’re not wrong. Although I think the Rocky Mountain would out perform it by a long shot after my testing.
Great Video Clair, you are a good Jumper. We were there on July 9 and lower Tidal Wave was closed. We had to take Holler Roller for a while. Overall the trails seem like they were in worse conditions than last year. Very chattery, dusty and dry. But still a lot of fun! I think Rope Tow was my favorite trail over all.
I just rode there yesterday and it’s blown out something fierce with the extreme heat and no rain this summer. A few weeks above 100 degrees without rain just kills those trails fast.
Looks like a fun trail. I would love to hear what you think about the RM instinct. I’m currently looking at that bike and I’ve come from a Ripmo and Hightower. How does it climb with that HTA? What’s the weight? Also have you taken in down to St George/Hurricane or Moab? How does it fair down there on the climbs? Thanks
I will have a full review video coming in about 2-3 weeks making sure I get some good miles on it before I make that video. It weighs 30.4 lbs in its current setup it's the C70 build large but I swapped to a 160 lyrik ultimate on the front and put code rsc brakes on. I will be putting 165mm cranks on when they come currently they are 170mm. It climbs way better than the Hightower V2, and I think it climbs as good as the ripmo but more controlled. It's only spent 1 day down in St. George on Barrel Trail, I feel it's probably the best climbing bike I've ever owned. Especially in the upper flip chip setting. But most of my bikes are built for downhill prior to this one. I have a video called trail bike showdown where I compare it to a bunch of bikes I test rode before I bought this bike. After 2 days of riding the demo on this bike I HAD to own it. I don't want to spoil my review video but if you are in the market I'd highly recommend a ride on it.
If you have any specific questions you can visit my website and drop me a email. Thanks for watching my friend.
@@AdventuresWithClair thanks! That was super insightful and I’ll look forward to the full review.
Sardine is a great long downhill for those that don't enjoy gnarly rough trails...also great if you do and want a long, chill, classic downhill trail ride. Fun to watch you ride most of my local haunts!
Thanks for watching I’m glad you are enjoying it. Slowly building a library of trails in Utah for everyone.
Does the mattress block the heater return? if so how do you deal with it?
No the heater return is only 6” on the far side even though the grill is like 10”. So it’s not blocked at all

Sorry it doesn’t translate correctly
@@AdventuresWithClair "cool!"
@stivensti2031 thanks for watching!!!
looking to get one thanks for the info!!!!!
Any time.
thanks for your review! i've heard about more fatigue with this brakes, what do you feel about it?
No fatigue at all if anything I’d say less than other brakes.
You can go both directions but why would you when 90% of the riders are going the way you did?! I rode it for the first time a few weeks ago had to stop and move over during a really nice flowy downhill to let an uphill rider go by. They really should make it one direction. Nice riding by the way and sweet bike!
Thanks, I totally agree.
I see mostly 3 bikes/racks usually when people are reviewing Ride88 in their trucks. Could you squize in 4 29" mtb enduro bikes at the same time without any issues? Taling about 2023 Ranger Raptor size truck bed for example? Thx.
It'd be crazy tight and you for sure couldn't close your tailgate with the short bed.
@@AdventuresWithClair Thx for the answer.
