It’d get ripped off by my tire lol

The sag?

Yeah you can also get a 210x52.5 and remove the spacer

Haha yeah everyone’s been saying that, strangely enough it’s not loud at all on my end on any device

It’s from dakine, just your standard plastic zip tied mudguard

Yeah the Tektros are solid for their price. Another really good cheap break is the shimano BR-M4120. Upgrade from tektro

yesssir

My brother just picked up a 153 DL for $1400 brand new. Crazy

That's what I told my buddy when he was looking at new trucks, no use in paying full price for a tacoma when you can get a ford maverick at a 6k discount!

Where in Indiana are you from? I can definitely give you recommendations!

@@MidWestMTB south bend/elkhart area

@@adamrollins4576 I’d say boyne highlands, I’m not sure if little switz is still doing summer biking but definitely there. If you make it down to Indy, town run and southwest way. In Ohio I’d really recommend checking out horns hill. There’s a really fun bike park in ironton Missouri called shepherd mountain. The UP has really amazing stuff. Check out the TH-cam channel The Duke of MTB, they cover a lot of the good Midwest spots too!

@@MidWestMTB hey man I really appreciate it and I will definitely be checking him. Good luck and be safe, saw your video of you (or someone else) coming off a table top and smoking your junk it looked nasty

@@adamrollins4576 hahaha yup I couldn’t walk for a week. Fun stuff. Appreciate it though! If you get a chance 2 places within a days drive I’d really recommend doing at least once are Marquette and Snowshoe!

It’s on the peninsula in Frisco CO

Thanks man 🫡

Man, I know. Credit card debt is whispering sweet nothings in my ear right now.

Yeah for sure some insane deals in the used market! Just be careful of those dingles on marketplace selling clapped out bikes without tellin ya haha

I’ll stick with Santa Cruz their lifetime warranty is the best piece of mind. I’ve broken 3 reserve rear wheels and they send a new one no questions asked within a weeks time from warranty submission.

@@Couffeehow did you break the wheels?

@@blakbanshee cased a few high consequence jumps and I also over shot a 6’ drop and landed rear wheel first on a jagged rock.

@@Couffee That’s beat. At least you were ok. Over here there’s just XC for mtb. The BMX guys have dirt jump trails though. 🤙

hahaha I wish I knew enough about road bikes to put a list together for ya

Yeah, I was thinking about throwing a tight line under the tent to snug it up when it is really cold. I personally don’t have problems with the wind but I usually guy it out pretty tight when it’s windy

interesting bike

Damn that's a good catch! I'll throw that on my article, thanks man.

Yeah! I should have included 3rd party sellers in the video, I'm going to add a section for that in the article for sure.

Facts; got me a Santa Cruz 5010 from them. Free shipping to Puerto Rico from 6700 priced down to 3600😇 very happy to be able to have my first Carbon MTB with the new Pike fork with their v3 damper. 🔥🔥

Jesus, where?

Competitive cyclist

@@Michael-xs7rz Hell yeah, going to throw a section for 3rd party sellers in the article, completely blanked on them for the video

Damn! That's awesome, such a sick bike

That’s awesome! stoked I could help, you looking to get into biking?

It’s been on sale a lot recently. I’d pick it up again on sale for sure. The thing is very solid/stable compared to similar tents its size and especially its weight. As far as the floor goes, I wouldn’t use it without the footprint. I haven’t had any issues with tearing or holes but I’ve used it with the footprint every time.

What about very crowded pow day vs empty spring day?

@@MidWestMTB hmmm that’s tough, I like both but crowded powder makes it very hard not to hit people on accident

Far from it, the linkage is a beast climber, its what a LOT of companies use in their trail bikes. Going from a full "enduro" bike to this thing makes the climbs feel effortless.

Yeah, running full negative no positive makes it the most linear. That does mean more pedal bob though so just be ready for more work climbing. Definitely worth a shot, I've seen them on sale a few times recently! Although I will say, working with 120mm of travel it might be good to try volume spacers first since they are cheap.

Yeah! The North Face Wowana is a good alternative. It will fit a couple and 2 kids depending on how much room you want to have. If you want extra space/ space for things in the tent like bags I’d opt for the 6 person version, that goes for this or any tent. Most 4 person tents CAN fit 4 but it’s tight.

Hahaha yup, lots of hours on the road. It wasn’t too bad, this was peak summer right before crankworx

I’m 5’8 in real life 5’10 on dating apps

@@MidWestMTB I was looking for a size recommendation. I went with the Medium V2 Carbon

How much do you weigh? I’ve been thinking about experimenting with this again since it’s been a while since I’ve messed with it

@@MidWestMTB 200lbs, I am still experimenting with tokens and pressure; I recently changed to 3 tokens, now to 2. Too many tokens will force you to drastically reduce pressure, which leads to poor rebound response

Yeah I think the goal was to keep the weight down and the tarp would be heavy even if it is more durable. If you used it with the footprint it’s great, I’ll be posting an updated review here soon!

Damn I thought I overshot it, appreciate the info!

hahaha it’s always hard to capture stuff in videos

did you hit it?

@@MidWestMTB No I wish I had though. People told me that its pretty easy you just have to commit

thanks mate for a second i thought i went too fast on this 💀😂
