That's an option. I ride a lot in rainy and muddy conditions though and usually just throw a ceramic BB from a reputable brand in.

Glad I could help!

What information would you like? If you watched the Primal build/review video I covered it pretty well. Just let me know what else I can help you with.

Mullet.

I run a 160mm crank on the Primal.

I would love to review the Rocbird frame. If Dartmoor only Dartmoor would loan me one. 😊 Can't foot the bill to buy one at the moment. 😢

One of the reasons I love riding it. Very good training for bike control!

@@robotbroken Yeah, the text I used in the title isn't for everyone. Thank you for letting me know that it offended you. I am always open to criticism. Only if I know what I can improve, am I able to improve it. I'm really happy you were still able to enjoy the video though.

Yeah I don't like the star of David either ;)

@@Velocus-p3z The Vittoria tires do last a bit longer than other brands I've ridden, that's not just marketing. I've definitely noticed they roll a bit better too. One point you make is a really good one, that isn't always easy to get across. Paying a little extra for a tire with a good rubber compound pays dividends in grip and wear resistance. It might cost a bit more, but you'll enjoy your ride more, and ride longer! I think 🤔 Continental uses silica in the Black Chili compound. Vittoria added silica to their Enduro Race compound and it wears remarkably slow for how soft the rubber is.

Dang, doesn’t that shit give you cancer? :(

@@Rey-Lux Thanks. It's been a long road but I'm getting there. 100 was the goal for this year. Next year I'm shooting for 500!

Awesome! AliExpress has some good products for very good prices. Granted, they are mixed in among a lot of junk, but sometimes it works out. Glad you found a good one!

@@guillermodavidok Ven a visitarnos, las pruebas no te decepcionarán.

Gracias!

Looks like a forest

This is the Canyon Trail in Fürth, Germany. They have several amazing, sanctioned trails in their City Forest. trailworks-fuerth.de/

Muchas gracias! ❤

The prices fluctuate a little on AliExpress. That could be the reason I payed less. Could also be taxes and import duties. Every country has different rates. I'm 165cm tall and have a 80cm inseam.

@@andreasrehm8736 Fast gegenüber von alte Ami Radiosender (jetzt eine Handynetz Sender). Am Anfang geht der trail ziemlich flach und gerade hinter, dann geht es rechts weg und der Spaß beginnt.

@@anuragkar8619 Thanks Bro! ☺️

@@Bari_Khan_CEng_CMarEng It wasn't the fastest I've run that trail, but quick enough for an old man! 🤣

@@540nap9 Thanks! I'm slowly learning this TH-cam thing. 😜

@@tombardy3813 They are definitely better than I expected. For the price though, really good value.

@@w0wwie148 I'm 164 centimeters tall, or short. However you want to look at it! 🤣

Do you recommend S frame for a 170cm height? Planning to buy this frame 29

@@w0wwie148 At 170cm I would recommend the medium. The small would be a little cramped.

Thank you. I'm still riding and enjoying every day!

I'm so happy I could help. :-) Working on the "old guy" video. I'm hoping that video will be helpful too!

@@MTB4TH awesome! I'm older and just getting into biking, in more than a casual way. so it's great to learn from those in the know. thnx again!

Oh crap. Sorry. I didn't notice that. Thanks for letting me know! I had stereo before exporting.

I thought that was just me ha ha I migrated from road/track to mtb recently. Clipped in was too much for me on downhill runs. Flat just felt wrong. Ended up with a set of very concave pedals, both front-rear and L-R concave. It's actually hard to get my foot off sometimes. Shimano does a set with SPD one side, flat the other. I've considered drilling them for pins on the flat side, but there hasn't been a rainy enough day. This infuriates trackies by the way - they can see the logic behind it, but "you're not using the lightest pedal available?? And you're riding your track bike TO the track??" I swear wearing lycra leads to brain damage. One of these days I'll let them know I'm also running tubeless and take a gravel track to get there.

No, not just you. That uneasy feeling when pointed downhill clipped in is just human. It goes away with time and experience though. Just keep shredding and it'll get better. No need to drill the Shimano combi pedals. There are a lot of companies that offer combination/hybrid pedals with SPD. Some companies even do SPD better than Shimano.

@@MTB4TH I’ve been riding over 30yrs. Any day now…

Na, that was chillin'. Watch the Tobis Trail vids. That's what getting it looks like!

Yeah, It's labeled as red, but I'd say blue at the most.

Sounds like a fun trail. Thanks, safe riding and happy trails to you too!

Lake.bike baut schon fleißig. Bei der Baumgartner Hof gibt's jede Menge! 😎

@@MTB4TH Nächstes Jahr Downhill fahren.🚴🚴🚴🚴

I see your point, although I have noticed that the trails are rated more difficult than they are in all areas of Germany that I've ridden. Regardless of if the trails are located in a flat(ish) or mountainous area.

Oh, many crashes. Only one with a camera running though, and the camera didn't survive.

Thanks, I'm trying. 🤪

@@Rey-Lux Yeah, the small jump line (the one I'm riding) is good to practice the basics and improve bike handling and confidence on the trail.

@@Rey-Lux A little flat at the top, but still a good time. I'd say they're worth a day trip to ride. 👍

Thanks. Only 950 more to go! 😁

Thank you!

Awesome. I have heard short cranks are good for people who suffer from knee problems.

I originally bought these cranks just to test shorter cranks and see if short cranks were as great as everyone was raving about. The plan was to scrap them or give them away after testing, but the way they're performing... I'm going to keep them a while longer. I also run a 28 tooth oval with the shorter cranks. With a little higher cadence I don't notice any power loss on ordinary climbs. Only when it gets really steep and technical do I miss the extra little bit of torque. Not a big deal though as I usually try to avoid those climbs because of my weak heart. Spinning is much easier for me. 😁 The chainring I got with mine was in a clear plastic bag in the box, with no branding at all. As I said in the video though, I only run ovals and haven't tested it. If you decide to get the 160 millimeter cranks for yourself, let me know how both crank sets perform over time. I'll be hitting some bigger drops and features with mine and plan on putting out a follow up review in January.

I didn't like the factory specs either. Most of their builds are geared more towards the budget market. The quality of the frames though take well to higher spec parts.

Thanks for the inspiration! 😁

Yeah, was having color issues with my old camera setup. With the new one colors are much better.
