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. 🤪

@@LUX-j9f 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.

@@LUX-j9f 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.

Thanks for the visit and good words!

Hi Scott. I can't say I have any more of a problem with altitude than before the heart attack. I am more cautious at altitude though and pay more attention to what my body "says." I have noticed it takes a little longer to acclimate to the altitude. I've found eating more frequently and more fluid intake to help a lot. Sorry I haven't posted any more videos yet. Scripts are written but I haven't had the time and energy to record and edit yet. Dealing with a few non-heart related issues. Hoping to get a video of my initial training plan up soon. Hope I was able to help. If you have any more questions you can comment here or hit me up on Instagram (@bigalilaus). Respectfully, Dave
