Feels like a corporate training video. I wish the ones I had to sit through years ago were of this same content. 😅

@@albert85b Thank you. Like many I used to find it difficult to listen to myself. 20 years ago when I started narrating, I found I sounded like a monster truck announcer. It was so cringe! Like a lot of other people who hear themselves recorded.I find my normal conversation voice to be a little difficult to listen to as well. My current delivery is just what it has evolved into over time. I find my performance voice a little easier to listen to. Thanks for being cool.

@@TunaSoda We would recommend contacting Wren and checking with them.

@@mebeadamb Well, We think it's pretty well built and you won't have to deal with the Complications of trying to get the rear shock set up for your weight. I have a friend who weighs around 290 and getting the rear shock dialed as a struggle. You might look into a stronger set of wheels if you plan on getting extremely aggressive. If not the stock wheels should serve you.

@@yohon1550 You're not going to get as much drop out of this post as you would a standard dropper post. However , If taking a little more beating off your lower back is what's your after it might be worth a try. It certainly added more comfort to this hard tail fat bike.

@@yavornikolov6965 Absolutely. And you can hit some stair drops on the way home.

@@mountainbikeondemand Thanks man! :)

@@yavornikolov6965 No Problem. Since we bought this bike, the full suspension hangs out at home a lot.

@@mountainbikeondemand the only reason I haven’t bought it yet is that I think that FS would be better for my knees (bad knees) but don’t know how true this would be …

@@yavornikolov6965 If you're going to use it primarily as an off-road machine, you might prefer a suspension with your bad knees Especially if you are going to ride a lot of roots and rocks. For commuting I would rather have a hard tail.

@@UpHillWill We'd like to see places like this.Popping up at schools all around the city.

Are you saying you want us do do a video on one that's internally routed? For sure, internal is cleaner but our frame wasn't setup from the factory for an internally routed dropper cable. We were lucky PNW makes an externally routed one.

@@Thedownhillboys Gavin thinks for being so great to work with! We'd love to film with you more in the future. If that's something you'd be interested in shoot me a message on our facebook page through messenger.

@@mountainbikeondemand I will definitely be working with you guys in the future 100%

@@Thedownhillboys HECK YEAH!!! Glad to hear it.

@@mountainbikeondemand If you need to reach out on other platforms to get something settled up I can give them to you

@@jacobbowman8375 Thanks for making the video more exciting to watch! If you'd be in to doing more in the future , shoot me a message on our Facebook page

@Animalstyle69 🤣 Rude

​@Animalstyle69feel better now?

Yeah, sounds like you've been there. Nothing a piece of plywood can't fix. 😁

@@mamterilleq We take it.You're stunting on a fat bike? You could definitely take full advantage of one in Alaska.

@@josipbalic3403 We are interested to. Please, stop back and give us a report.

@@TheCyclingVet Juat got one for my wife on sale. It's a great time to buy a bike. Right now the SLX is only $300 0less than the Z2. Z2 is a no brainer right now.

Salsa tells us that suspension travel And tire sizes were the same on 17 and 18 models. Hope this helps😁

Climbs are just as difficult if not more so. Very rudy and rocky although they have been working on it lately. There is some flow but not like Devou. Good place to increase your strength and skill set.But not not our first choice if you're looking for something a little easier. If you're looking for a challenge hit it up.

I want to say it was around 32 pounds. We would have to double check though.

@@mountainbikeondemand thanks for the reply you would think much heavier than regular MTB but not bad for having the extra grip.

@@theflyerpr40d And even though we added weight the tires make it roll much faster. They are lighter and don't deflect as much.

What do you like better about it? Just curious.

@@mountainbikeondemand I have cracked 3 bullets an no heklers

I do slope style and urban freeride signed nick

Nice and the 5.0 is good cause the complete lack of chain slap

LOL I wish PNW would have spent some money on advertising. It's cool to hear your take on the pedals. I, we like adjustable pins. I needed stitches a couple years back from a different set of flat pedals. This Heckler was pretty cool though. Wish I owned it but glad I had the chance to ride it before filming it. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.

Thanks for watching. I'm sure if we saw you again we'd remember, but there were quite a few people at the trail that day. 😂 Greg was definitely the right pick for this video. He was going easy on my bike because I've seen him take MUCH larger jumps in his own GoPro videos. This was perhaps our best bike build project yet. Can't wait to do another. 😍

Cool build and Greg showed what it could do. Thanks for stopping by to watch and say hi.

Thank you! Greg did an outstanding job of showing what this bike can do.

🤣

@@mountainbikeondemand Because you responded, I watched it again. Lol Almost funnier the second time. The tongue-in-cheek humor and the whole style of everything is great. Nice mix of pro narrating and goofiness. I hope y'all make more like this

@@YIO777 Really glad you got some laughs out of it. We left our butts off making it. Just sort of happened organically. It's what happens when you have three guys with a good sense of humor get together. Hopefully lightning can strike twice.

@@mountainbikeondemand Good, clean fun and education mix well. 😂

@@YIO777 It was fun.

We really appreciate hearing your feedback on the box drive train. Hopefully you'll check out part two of this video and see how it performed.

Thanks😁👍

Thanks for checking out the video and posting a link to your build. The wheels and carbon cranks were a nice add on. We'd rock it!

I'd have to say we have considered it. Now we're thinking about it again. The tire swap made such a huge improvement while still providing compliance it almost seems unnecessary unnecessary. It would be a great experiment though.

To answer your question, the Wren It's a little less expensive, If it's nice and rigid with very little flex, the travel is adjustable and the spring rate and ramp up are very tunable without going into the fork. We are sure that the manitou is a good fork but wanted to try something different. We paid retail by the way. If the sport was not sent for evaluation. So far so good. We did a review on this bike after we finished the build along with carving out the individual part that covered the fork. th-cam.com/video/bK6n5_KBYsc/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared

Will do. Thanks for the comment and checking out the video

It used to get ridden on wet days when I didn't want to get the full suspension all grimy. Now it's just plain fun, especially on tight twisty trails. Fat bikes make great trail bikes once you set them up. Do you currently own a fat bike?

Oh wait I checked out your channel. Yes you do.

Yes.

Which part?

You will find some pretty challenging climbs there as well.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the Box components. It's always good to hear from others who've tried the same parts.

Thanks for sharing your experience with them.

Sounds like you have a couple of nice bikes. The Jumbo Jims look like they would be great performers. The tires and fork made a huge difference. Super pumped on how the bikes performance turned out.

😂😂😂😂

Yes

Sorry to hear that. We don't believe that the mountain bike community are in charge of taking care of the pump track. It would be nice to have it groomed. We were there recently. The trails were in excellent condition.

We have not heard that they aren't allowed. If it were us we would go for it unless there was signage indicating otherwise.

For sure.
