14:00 "This one has more features, more shocks, and the seat post goes up and down" - Sweet
its soo nice having jason back, the mahalo family 💛
@Hank Payne pinkbike
@@MartianMoon anyone know why he left pinkbike? I hope he's still going to host the Academy...
This bike looks so sick!
As a full time bike mechanic I would like to say that building Matt’s bike was definitely not a nightmare of a build. I’ve seen truly horrifying bikes in my time as a mechanic that made me want to bang my head into the wall.
So glad I didn't have to wait long for that lower headset bearing to drop! Haha!
The graphics are super cool! Kudos to the guys who did it. 🤙
The bike looks so cool great job
I freaking love that paint job.
“Wrong hole” seems to be a common problem for Jason
A mahalo my dude video on my birthday? HELL YEAH
Happy birthday!!
@@tobinstaneart4734 thanks dude!
yooo happy birthday my duuuude
It is your birthday.
Happy birthday my dude
5:56 I wanted to hear the bead pop into the bead.

Two Hours Later :)
Fam Jam is back together . Even without Jason around it was still great . Just so nice to see him on the videos again , Much Love
14:00
Throw back from the how to buy a mountain bike video 😂😂
If there was a Mahalo My Dude for skiing, my life would be complete.
God damn that thing looks so sick, freshest paintjob I've seen in a minute
Skipped the hardest part of any build: the saddle.
Working in the shop I would do everything I could do "have something else to do" when it came to the saddle
Ain’t no way
I worked in a bike shop for a bit and also for the first time and I had to install many saddles while the customer would stand besides me. But I got really good at it.
Absolutely nothing torqued to spec. Mint!😂
13:07 What are you doing Step-Jason?
U gotta try a 180mm fork in the slash. I am running a 180mm 38 in my 9.9 x01 and it’s a absolute dream. Truely feels like a free ride/mini dh bike
Best intro on TH-cam
Jason has done a lot of bike building on camera this year 🤣
Sick bike
It's like watching Mahalo my Academy.
never do a drop off in the big cog, chain wasn't fitted checking for chain growth through the travel with the location of the slash pivot there will be some growth under compression. not much but with how tight that chain is in the big cog not much might be to much
I'm old enough to remember back in the day before all the videos on this channel turned into trek ads
Where JAI SON? HERE HE IS!!!
Looks like a beaut! DREAMY!
Never expected to hear Jason's vinegar strokes
nice love the bike and the content
looks so sick🔥🔥🔥
It went together easily in less than an hour. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
I wish my wife looked at my post the way Jason looked at the dropper post on that bike
Please do a hardtail build next
That chain routing mistake, every damn time I install a new chain. 🤣
This was riveting.
my one upgrade would be to change out those tires for some mike bears asap
love how it's a full sram roxshock build but u are using shimano grease.
Looks sick!
just got my dream bike today trek fuel ex. it was a challenge with the dropper seat but managed to get throught it
IS THAT A MOOSE??? could be a deer doe :)
Yay a Mahalo vid!!! Its a good day :)
Trek is best ❤️👋💪👍👏
I want all my bolt to be rainbow trout!
Super sick rig! Loved the making fun of "dream build" videos and Matt getting iced.
Why didn't you go with an AXS dropper Matt? Would have saved your pal Jason a lot of frustration 😊.
Product availability! We will put an AXS Reverb on there shortly.
soo cleann🔥🔥
11:55 make sure you pump the brakes first, or the 2 piston pressures won't be identical
looks like a session
Just a heads up, when doing a 12 speed sram chain you need to account for 2 inner and outer links when sizing the chain. Idk why but that’s what all the sram info states. Pre sure it has to do with the longer cage of the derailleur.
I think it’s more for when the chain is in the climbing gears and you compress the shock, extra links would prevent the chain from affecting compression of the shock. I usually fully deflate and compress the shock and then do what Jason did to size a chain.
@@samstephensmtb u are absolutely correct sir! U need to keep in mind the movement of the rear triangle. Almost every full suspension bike frame decreases the length between the bottom racket and the rear axle when in full squish, so u should size the chain with the shock out and and the frame in the compressed position 💁♂️ 6 years of bike service and multiple errors of mine taught me the right way to do it.
Ps: his chain is too short 🥹
So torqued
Sick 🤩🤘🔥
Mahalo my dude
Vhs rocks
This video is basically how to install tubeless tires from 4 years ago version 2 😂
i love your videos. keep on🔥
I've always used a floor pump to make my tires tubeless. Do people use something else?
I bought a cheap air compressor which actually works quit solid since it only was 20 bucks. I tried pumping up my tubless tire with a floor pump and i couldn't get them to see after 30mins of pumping swearing and nearly crying I just bought that cheap air compressor. It's quit loud but gets the job done. Probably a better floorpump would work aswell but it would've Coste more that that compressor so🙄
@@Aceton_ I just have a specialized air tool floor pump and if it the tire doesn't seat at first, I just try and squeeze the tire to the edges of the rim and I've had no problems
@@shrevecc I could have probably figured a way out but honestly after that frustration I didn't want to deal with any of that stuff anymore😂
I have a pump with a canister you can fill up and release all the compressed air you've pumped into the canister.
What is the name of that într-o song. I want it in my mtb
playlist
🤩🤩
I work at a giant bike shop as a mechanic, and i am likef 92.3% sure thats a giant dropper
🤘🤘
any trek is a nightmare build :D
Potato/ love the bike
nice
Did Jason leave Pinkbike or he is still making stuff for them over there?
He left. Answered it in a discord ama.
@@HamSupZhai Why did he left? Is there a recording of that discord session?
@@Tequila628 You have to go to their discord and find the AMA channel. But I believe he said something simple like "nothing beats making videos with your best friends".
Jason: “oh I got my finger in the wrong hole” 💀
I just say pinkbike Academy season one episode one
Don’t grease the steerer tube. It’s dangerous I think.
Hello 👋
10:56 don't do this. Never undo a master for fun
Just undo the lower cage Lully wheel, rotate the cage and re align the chain.
PS the red light you used for this video sux
11:07 I also chipped my frame once when the chain whipped around. Would've demented a carbon rear triangle.
Always use a double hook made from half a spoke when playing with chains. I've had many slinky onto the dirt under the bike lol
That is some bad advice man! 🤣 It’s so unnecessary to take the cage apart 🙄 just shift to the smallest cog, pull the cage forward, secure it with the cage lock and then take the master link apart… there will be no tension on the chain when u do it like this.
@@_MC_-gw6yp the master links are 1 or 2 use, they wear out. Maybe you've never snapped a chain and gone over the bars.
The single 4mm cap screw on your lower cage wheel will last forever and requires no special tools, just a 4mm
@@janeblogs324 no… You can reuse MasterLinks but you shouldn’t reuse MasterLocks if we are talking specifically about Sram. But you can reuse certain chain links from other brands (KMC, YBN, Sram), but of course what I mean by that is that you can unlink it and link together while it’s new or if you are cleaning the chain, but you should always throw the quick link out with the old chain. And yes I did snap chain multiple times on my DJ bike but it was always because of lack of maintenance or because the chain got damaged on impact. In most of the cases the chain snaps because of bad shifting and most of the time it snaps in the place with normal links, because they can actually take less lateral force than a quick link.
Insert *MEKANIK* meme here.
is jason resigning from pinkbike?
Does anyone know the putto song
Outro*
I might just not be informed, but where is andrew? Just wondering since he hasn’t Been in the past few videos
The chain is too short 🫣🥹
