Have you subscribed yet? What is the next Pro Tip I should share with you?!
How to actually become pro
Yea lol
The art of flow! but all tips are great haha. Awesome videos 🤘
Different drop techniques !!!
@@piciu256 Step 1 have fun on your bike
I alway prefer trees to stop me. It saves on brake pad wear. 😫
I like it when the tree helps me turn... I'm too lazy to do it myself 🤣
Rofl
Another excellent video. How about a cornering tutorial if you haven't already done one?
How about a few more EMTB vids
I thought you had a 3rd "ball" as well. L.O.L.
Do all french riders have it?
Haha exactly what I was thinking :) funny Yoana
I don't know if all of us ( French rider) have a 3rd ball but most of us have the necessary humour to pretend so 👌
Wow I clicked on this video just to make that comment 😂
Haha that’s what I though to
He could have a monoball. 😂
The idea/opinion about adjusting the brake levers with what you use it the most for, when your riding downhill, was awesome. Your explanation was perfect. I’m sold! 🔥👊🏼
I like how, with your accent, "basically" sounds like "bicycally"
Amazing tutorial!!! Learned more in 11:00 minutes about braking than the six years i have been riding...
What a great Pro tip! I really like it how you break everything down. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Great video. I have been running my levers near flat for the last few race seasons and I agree with it totally allows you to ride more relaxed and comfortable. Lot less fatigue which is very nice for those long stages! I can go back to of my old setups
Oh man, those 3rd person shots are a lot of work in that terrain!! Thanks!
Priceless advice Remy! I always wondered what was the best angle for my levers! Love your videos!
This was awesome. Would love to see more vids like this.
I really appreciate the excellent instructional videos. Remy is a natural teacher who blends knowledge with encouragement.
One thing I had difficulty following is at what time he engages each brake and how much.
The brake squeal and tire skid sound only gives a small sense of when the braking occurs.
I wish for some kind of instrumentation that shows the pressure on each hydraulic line with a flashing LED.
Another great vid. Cheers! I might once again experiment with pointing the levers a bit higher up.
Incredible to see how many seemingly small aspets can improve your riding.. Great Video!!
Great tips! I'm going to try this out with my "mini-wing" GA3s.
Thanks for your Input about those important insights of someone professional. Most of the time people Spende talking about stuff everyone else has sind before so i really enjoy your content. Keep IT going👌
For sure! Never thought about setting my f&r brake to different lengths. I see it's all about the details.
Brilliant video once again! I only started riding last year but naturally had to put my levers just like your or slightly higher to feel right. People think it looks weird, but if i rode with them down i would be over the bars a lot 😂😂
Quality information Rémy not often covered so thoroughly. Thank you. I’m always fiddling with the angle of my levers. Going back and forth without properly analyzing the situation or why I do this on widely varying trails and slope. You instantly cleared this up and I’m going to bias my setup towards steeper downhill as you do (more level levers). Also by chance I went to the same grips that you are using about a year ago. I found them to subtly but significantly improve my grip (lighter) and position, angle and alignment of my hand, wrist and forearm when in the proper elbows out position.
Glad to help! I have a set up that works for everyday, but if I want to be very picky, I will slightly change it depending the trails. Especially when the trails are constant steep and long!
actually i do that too. i always had the feeling i had a hard time shifting my weight to the rear when i needed it. in steep sections i often had the fear of going over the bars soon. i tend to fiddle things to extremes, so i changed the brake grips from 45° to 0° to see the upsides and downside and surprisingly it felt pretty good.
Excellent, excellent , love it!! Maybe yer best narrative!! Lots of info for fine tuning a new rig, things I’m trying to navigate now. Cheers Remy!!!
Thanks Brad! Sometimes things can only get better Ahahah
I have the same grips and handlebars... on my singlespeed!! lol, it's really fun carving up sidewalks and being able to confidently bunny hop and take turns with wide bars
Thank you for the tips. I will keep that in mind when i get my bike in two weeks.
Agree with the flat brake setup.
Done this today before a ride. On a lap that normally gives me arm pumps, I was absolutely fine. Merci bien mon ami
Thanks man. You really know what you're talking about.
if someone has weak or bad wrists, changing the bar rise and sweep might give more positions for the brake levers to be in a stronger position while being flatter, this helped me with my carpal tunnel. Great vid, cockpit ergonomics 101 :) A lot of bikes come with OEM flat and low sweep bars, which aren't the most comfortable :)
I had my levers super high, but since I don't ride vertical slabs all day I turned it down a bit. That bend of the wrist encouraged me to lean back over the back wheel, and having it a bit more forward made getting over the front wheel for traction feel better.
Top tips Remy. Thank you!
Could you make a video where as you descend, you call out which brake or brakes you are using? Thanks for everything! The visualization from your footage is definitely helping me to progress faster.
Thanks for all your videos! I'm new to mtb just got a meta tr29!
Tried the flat levers and although the position felt good on downhills I got massive arm pump. Next will try carbon bars and raising them slightly. Thanks for tips!
Thanks for the tips, since I've changed my cockpit set up my arms/hands are way less warn tired after long decents
Great content! Definitely useful. Thanks
better explained than any of the other videos, more teaching videos please!
Thank you!
Learned a lot.
Thanks
Great video! Wish this tech was around one to two decades ago. Just a matter of time for a new full suspension purchase. Keep up the great work. I’m officially an addict, according to my wife, lol.
Good stuff! I need to start using a more neutral position and stop defaulting to the full-on attack position all the time. Thanks Rémy!
Thanks!
Very cool & useful info. Merci!
Im gonna give this a try, i get arm pump pretty fast but my wrists are pretty knackered lol
Could you record yourself calling out which brake or brakes are you using as you descend different terrain? Thanks for all of the help you provide and material good for visualization.
Thanks you gor all the inspiration
Thank you!
Awesome vid Remy! Love your edits. So i feel like i struggle with when and how to use each brake effectively when out on the trail. when and where to brake for corners and how much modulation to use. hope that makes sense
That's going to be another video, but typically you brake before the corners on a straight line, then let roll.
Same here. I've even considered switching my brakes around. I have a habit/instinct of pulling my rear brake to much. I think if I switch them it might help.
Rémy Métailler That’d be awesome if you could make a video for that. I’d just like to know when the best times are to modulate both my brakes at the same time, when to only use my back and how I figure out where my braking points should be on a line headed into a corner.
Thanks Remy!
Hey Remy,
can you film a review about the roter shifting system.
I think it´s an interesting theme how get the hydraulic shifter in comparison between a normal shifting system.
Thank you for all the good trail videos.
That could be cool! Very specific though
Thanks for this awesome tip!!!
Thank you for this video Remy !!! 🤟🏻
Hey Remi, great vid and the Camera angle is better! My only complaint is that you can't see exactly where you place your front wheel on these tech trails here. With the helmet cam this is way easier to see.
Thanks for the tips, I appreciate it. Keep it roll’n!...
Merci
Looking forward to trying my brake levers in a more flat position. One nitpick though: you say your elbows are out, but your elbows appear to be quite neutral even when you're descending steep sections of trail. It would make sense that your elbows aren't really wide because you need your arms to have some travel for the big hits. If you're riding with your elbows far out, then you have a bit less travel in the elbow joint. No?
Super video!! Je vais tester ca demain 😉
Pourquoi pas faire une video sur tes setups de suspension !??
C est prevu!
Awesome video. I have peripheral neuropathy and struggle with brake modulation, grip strength, and hand/forearm fatigue. I have Shimano Saint brakes on my Specialized Levo SL Carbon. Can ride the brakes pretty hard all the time, especially while riding steep terrain. Do you have any additional advice that might help improve my braking skills and confidence? Cheers. Mick
Your levers are not quite flat, not as extreme as some (set upwards for example for the 3rd ball) so I'd say that's acceptable, setting them up totally flat might reduce arm pump a bit, but it's actually really bad for your wrist- it's better if it's close to being straight instead of being bent upwards when riding. Any angle between 45 and 0 degrees is good really- one needs to find what works best for you.
Piotr Sulej yea lol pinkbike bike check I love that one
Some times 3 balls Yo does stuff on his bike that don't make sense. I remember riding with him once where he struggled. I put his lever down a little and he was like "Oh this is much better!"
I am a shorter rider and have considered cutting my bars on my new bike. I guess its time to trim the bars.
Awesome thankyou for the tips
Tried high levers and it indeed feels better. Too bad my wrists get sore really fast after a couple of segments downhill... That's the only reason I need to run them a little lower.
bummer. At least you know what is best now.
This was really helpful, I'm exited to find my new set up! You've got yourself a new subscriber! This made me wonder about the dropper lever. Do you have any advice for positioning that. Should it be easier to maneuver from standing or sitting and how do you positioning it to avoid regripping the handlebar before and after engaging it?
That s awesome thanks! You won t be disappointed and I'll be grateful if you can share with your friends. Same for the shifter and dropper. Ask your self when you want it ti be the more easily to use. For me it is standing up.
@@remymetailler Thx for the reply! Definitely sharing, stuff like this is golden!
Great video
As a professional health care practitioner, I would advice that if someone has a serious injury or surgery on his wrists (or any part of the body), please ask your physio how to properly progress and train with minimal risks.
amazing amazing, thank you!!!
Salut, super vidéo une fois de plus ! C'est cool que tu partages ce genre de conseils, et j'espère que ça va permettre de m'améliorer.
J'ai une question, j'ai fait une grosse chute il y a 10 mois, physiquement je suis remis, mais mentalement en descente je suis très crispé, donc je voulais savoir comment retrouver mon niveau d'avant, as-tu des conseils ?
Merci! C est fait pour être partagé pour aider les pratiquants de velo.
Rémy, do you think that lever position is directly related with bar roll and bar height?
If so, how do you set up your bar and what made you ride it that way? Also, have you ever rode it in different positions?
Thank you, such a rad content that keeos everyone stoked!!
Good question! I have tried everything. Bars are designed to be ridden a certain way. You can slightly move them depending your size, if your bike is slightly long/short but typically they should follow your head tube angle.
I use different heights depending on the trails. If I was to run, flat easier trails I could be a bit lower. The taller you are as well, the taller need to be cockpit. Despite being small I ride a high front end to have less stress on my arms.
"the 3 ball" set up
Nice edit!
How do you set your handlebar rotation?
Tips up or flatter?
I'm a light rider but i always seem to bottom out my rear shock way too easily. I end up using all the tokens or a stiffer spring but i like it plush. Most of the time its not that bad to bottom out but i do it too often. Your thoughts?
If they're too far down it feels unnatural.. Broke my front lever clean off a couple days ago
Strange... At first glance I would have said that low lever position allow wider elbow position. I will try that. Thx
Easier and less effort that way. Just like when you do push ups.
Nice one Remy 👍🏼. Good tips. You thought that dog was a bear didn’t you??😂
I was ready to fight!
You ever measure the angle of your levers when you set them up? Currently mine are at 35 degrees. Thinking of trying them more flat though.
No I do not. I do by feel. It also changes a bit from one bike to another depending on the reach, stack..
Please do how to jump
Tomorrow I’m going to adjust my breaks so I can use 1 finger very inspiring video
Legend has it that you need those levers flat to cater for that third ball.
I'm surprised you mention taking impacts with elbows out. Fitness instructors are always talking about keeping elbows back/to the side for pushups, as elbows out opens the shoulder joint and this compromised position may cause trouble when you put load on the pecs. Thoughts ?
It may be better for your shoulders long term when working out but you will be stronger on your bike with the elbows out.
Any pointers on what I should do with two stacked brake levers on the left side? My current setup is index finger on the rear brake on top, middle finger on the front below.
Hey, I have heard about your story! I guess I have never thought about it. I'm sure you would be way more knowledgeable than I am. Super impressive to be biking like you do!
Rémy Métailler see and I was thinking you’d have way more knowledge than me. I’m just fumbling along 😂
Excellent video. Watching this I just realized I need to cut my bars down a bit.
Thanks! You are tall guy, but I would think 780 or 770 is plenty enough!
Rémy Métailler I agree. It was immediately evident when I saw your wrist and arm position. My bars are so wide it’s making it hard to have an elbows out position! Thanks!
Aides moi avec la pression des pneus mdr je suis trop en galère... Je gonfle toujours trop par peur de crever
Smart!
ergonomics question... I tried this on my bike, loved it, but had some serious shoulder (back of the shoulder) pain as a result, so I had to turn them down a bit and the pain went away. Would rotating my bars to match the angle better allow me to pull the brakes up again?? have you heard of or experienced this, or does your break position not impact on how you set up your bars??
Oh weird. I would need to see how are your bars. Can you send me a pic on Instagram?
Hi Remy, do You ride your EDC stem - tool combo adjusted with preload collar or the old threaded way?
It is more reliable than a regular star. It s also a way to show the product better.
Hi Rémy, does your rear brake usually have more more lever travel before it engages? It is the same for me and I can't tell if it's because it needs a bleed, or rear brakes have more hydraulic fluid so it has more travel before it engages?
Mine does, but it's in purpose!
@@remymetailler how did you do that?
Hi remi I bought the dominion A4s, do you know if I can use the sram bleed syringes to bleed them?
Hey that is a good question. I'm not sure. I use the Hayes Bleeding kit only...
Flats or clipless pedals?
what shades are those please? they look like google slayers... which is good by me!
Julbo Fury!
You seem to talk about different brake set-ups in this video vs the recent bike set up video, which confuses me.
In this video you prefer more rear brake modulation and that they bite at the same distance from the bar. But in the bike setup video you advocated more front break modulation and say that the brakes bite at different distances from the bar.
Care to explain this a little further? To me personally more front brake modulation and same distance from the bar makes more sense..
I need to get some Hayes brakes!
Check out the link on my description you can find them there!
Hey Remy I'm finding some of the links to your parts are listing loads of parts and not ones specified. The Bars, stems and hydraulic post lead me to a list of oneup parts, chain rings and stems, no bars? Nice video
Hum that is weird. It should be a link to the actual brand and all their parts. Which product especially are you looking for?
@@remymetailler I'm interesting in your handle bars, what rise are they? I have a 27mm rise, I'm thinking of going higher, they might be more comfortable, but I wonder how much that would effect the handling. Thanks mate
@@duncanh6045 They exist in 20 and in 35, but I ride a 35mm and won't consider anything else.
I don't even bother with angles, I can palm a basketball easily, so I just run the levers as far out as possible. Probably the reason my hands get so sore.
Next tip: How you use dropper post? any good pro tips there?
Well it's fairly simple no? I seat on it while pushing the button. To go faster sometimes I try to find at tiny compression so my butt goes down faster and I don't squat for nothing. Foes that make sense?
@@remymetailler today i try your pro tips and it really works! Technical downhill much more comfortable to ride when brake leavers are like you said! Ty
Remy, do you attack the steep slabs and chutes in a neutral body position or back over the wheel. My instinct is to get back over the rear wheel but then I lose traction on the front wheel. Keeping the neutral position do you have any tips to keep from going OTB.
On rock faces you should not loose traction unless they are slippery and off camber. Try to make yourself heavy, and be gradual with your braking.
So The heaviest would be positioned over the bottom bracket and not over the rear wheel.
what kind of backpack/drinking bag do you have on on this video?
The Camelbak Chase Vest
Do you have your index fingers covering the brake levers 100% of the time when going downhill?
Keeping your finger on the brake lever vs not keeping is giving you the edge on timing / more control / less risk.
Sick
I’m curious what type of fender you are using? Thanks

Yes!
i have 840mm bar, its 800mm +2x20mm adapters. better stability
How tall are you?!
