When I lived in Eugene that was how most of the rides were. Climb climb climb up fire roads, then descend on switchbacky bomber trails with occasional pools of water to dive in, if it wasn't 45 degrees and raining. Glorious, I did it all on a rigid Yo Eddy and 2.0 tires. could have used one of those rigs. Now I ride a rigid 29+ and it can eat almost any trail, but I'd like a more trail oriented full sus...N+1.
Ron is a friggin hoot, that dude is funny he always has a hilarious reaction or statement 😆 Good vids my wife and I are really enjoying them all very entertaining gravel/ mntn bike channel. Thank you!
These adventures rides are so rad. Your channel encouraged me to start biking again. After my old reliable got stolen I was so discouraged and couldn’t find the one bike for me but I’m back to riding! Thanks for the content.
Ron might have been a bit over biked, your bike was probably better suited overall. I personally think a 120mm forked hardtail would have been perfect, but I am a bit biased since that's what I have with 27.5 x 2.8's
just did my first singletrack downhill with a friends cross country bike today and it was awesome - so this vid fits perfectly to my personally perfect day!
If any bit I'm going on has some rough single track, I'm definitely taking my full sus. Just so much more comfortable on my back after many years of back injuries since high school.
I bang around on my Exie everywhere too. I do run a lighter setup with kenda rush 2.4/2.2 on nobl wheels. Most miles in one day-117 (14single track) 20miles or so with a road group at 18mph pace-all this in one day. Most miles at a cruiser at 12/13mph.
"How about now?" "It's good!" 😂I know how it feels to be the miser who always thinks "dude we're over-biked" and then happy to be proved wrong 😅 but I think based on the footage a front travel hardtail would have been my choice. Did it smell like negative ions? So therapeutic and renewing! Perfect Day status unlocked! 🏆🏆🏆
id probably take my 2017 dualie on that ride. has a 2x10 xt drivetrain. 2.1 rear tire and 2.3 up front. being a 2017, its isnt super slack, and with the big chainring, it can keep a nice pace on the pavement.
Eh just lockout/firm up the suspension on the gravel and pavement, run rollier tires if you can. No such thing as the wrong bike provided you're not on like a DH or a TT bike. You can make it work, and that'll be the fun part.
Nice video. Good to see Ron come out and play. Anyway, since I only own one mountain bike there isn't much of a question as to which of my bikes would be the right bike for the ride. It would come down to the choice of riding the bike I own or staying home. In my mind, any ride on any bike is potentially better than a day not riding at all.
I was up at Falls Creek for the first time on my gravel bike. Definitely found myself underbiked too. I think I'd rather use a hardtail if I had one (hopefully soon).
@@EverythingsBeenDone it’s been an honour and a privilege! I’d like to thank Dustin, Ron, Winston, Doug and everyone else! Honorable mention goes to sweet potatos and those funny looking flowers that grow in your back yard!
Wanna talk about how many of your videos I’ve binge watched in the last week or so? Do you?! Cause it’s a lot. Some might say too many… but I wouldn’t… go ahead and ask me what you were doing 6 years ago. Anyways, on to the next one!
Nice bike, Rebel Scum. You inspire me to ride the dual boingy bike that I never ride. Maybe I should let the bike dictate the route, rather than the other vicey versy. As you ask (freeeeequently), What could go wrong?
Everything about this was fun
My work here is done.
I watch these videos when I want to psych myself to ride bikes. Works every time!
Steel 29er hardtail with 140mm travel. The kind of bike you'd introduce to your parents.
Why isn't this guy on a network with his own show? Very fresh. Very entertaining.
Lol I hate when my watch tells me I’m “overreaching” or whatever but I know I still have like 30 miles…

Hardtail would be a sweet offering
@@EverythingsBeenDone Yep, that Ibis DV9 of yours would have been perfect.
Thought for sure when you stopped at the creek that Creek Cooled Caps would drop a sponsorship.
I've always wondered how much extra time does it take to do all the camera setups and ride-bys?
you heard it 40 miles in 7,45 hrs
just did my first singletrack downhill with a friends cross country bike today and it was awesome - so this vid fits perfectly to my personally perfect day!
❤️❤️❤️
Thirteen and a half minutes? Hells yeah.
If any bit I'm going on has some rough single track, I'm definitely taking my full sus. Just so much more comfortable on my back after many years of back injuries since high school.
Based on elevation gained and the loam to rock ratio I would have used a hardtail
I should go back for a tasters challenge.
Bars are crazy wide. I'd cut at least 20 to 30 mm off each end.
The paint job transformed that bike! Looks so sick!

Dude your editing is ace!
To answer you're question "what would you call that smell": Pure bliss!! 🤘🏽🙌🏾🤘🏽
Bike for that ride: Transition Spur 120/120 with 29” Maxxis Ardents @2.2 width….all day long. Great route.
All mechanical is alright with me
What an incredible video. Great fun, awesome paint job, great vibes! Thanks Dustin for making my day! Let’s riiiide😊
"Suffit de te balancer..."
Yup right song choice.
Ace vid! Great English accent!!
Good to see Ron , how’s Winston?🙏❤️🐾🐾

"It's good!"

Fantastic video! Your production quality is getting better and better. The bikes and trails are immensely good. The NASA cargo van is awesome too.
Salsa Fargo with 2.2", rigid fork was great on Falls #152, but we did it as an up and back...
You’ve probably answered this somewhere, but if you HAD to get rid of all your bikes but one, which would you keep?
For that ride, I'd use my IBIS Mojo 5 HD (27.5-inch wheels. I'm small and this size is the bomb for me).
If that's not a MTB trail,
Idk what's MTB trail anymore 😢😂
I'm fortunate to have multiple bikes. I'm getting another rigid mtb soon, and with fast rolling 2.6 tires, it's what I would take on a ride like this.
Your paint job is 👌
Super cool paint job DK........!!!! Awesomeness........
Thank you! Cheers!
Killing it man! I love your vids! More please
id probably take my 2017 dualie on that ride. has a 2x10 xt drivetrain. 2.1 rear tire and 2.3 up front. being a 2017, its isnt super slack, and with the big chainring, it can keep a nice pace on the pavement.
Sounds dreamium
That paint job is 🔥
Crushed the mixed terrain death star ramble players....Rebel Alliance Riders rule....x
I was totally picking up the Star Wars vibe before you mentioned it. I thought it was just the nerd in me. 😄 Great episode!
“I like to SMOKE” 🎶
Love your videos. The delivery and humor are top notch.
Eh just lockout/firm up the suspension on the gravel and pavement, run rollier tires if you can. No such thing as the wrong bike provided you're not on like a DH or a TT bike. You can make it work, and that'll be the fun part.
Looks fun on any bike! But I’d bring my Spur. It’s light, and rolls so good on Ground Controls.
And the new nerd paint is so good.
The bike you have, is the right bike. Just like my single speed, the gear I'm in, is the right gear.
This is a great episode to watch high
I kept waiting for Ewoks to swing down from the trees. Any less of a bike and you’d be drifting to the dark side…
HardTail or a Super Short Travel XC Bike with faster tires.. Great fun you had there. Or, the bikes you had with just faster rolling tires
“At first it felt a little unfulfilling, and then it felt fulfilling, and then I was satisfied” is how I hope my life goes.
So Wise!
Paint job came out🤯 Radness!

Agreed!!
I would've ridden my Neuhaus Hummingbird with Kenda Booster Pro SCT 29x2.35 and 130mm Marz Z2 fork.
that paint job made me want to try an Anikan yellow starfighter paint job 👀
The classic mountain bike was once all we had for such frolicking.
Excellent video fine sirs. Fine steeds indeed.

Hardtail for the win!
Just two ewok speeders flying through the woods!
ron seems so rad
that rebel alliance helmet is cool as shit
Great ending 👾
Always amazing content. Thank You Dustin!
Hey! Those trails looks amzing, so to have propper fn there, it looks like a good choice 👍 👍
Great music! I feel like it could have been a bit more Star Wars-esque
I try hard on my videos 🤓
Loving the paint scheme. 🤟🏻
I need a gravel bike in my life
XC hardtail with fast rolling 29x2.4s
That ain't pampas grass! I would ride my hardtail on that route, as that's the only bike I have.
that Grass sure did feel pompous
"I don't want to hear all of that self limiting behavior"
That's it .... buying a new bike!
THERE WE GO!!!
BTW - the Kuat rack you have ( I have it too ) with the lights is having problems with the LED's. Kuat will send you different wiring kit to fix it.
I think I had this issue and well. I took it apart and fixed it.
@@EverythingsBeenDone did you have to order the wiring kit? th-cam.com/video/ROaTImZaj7M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uePu4kH2kIxmLzlB
Great vid bro!!
Cheers Rudy
Did I hear "Lumpty Dumpty"? Amazing.
😂🤣 I’m just sayin 😜😜😜
When is a trail not a "trail"?
When its grown back to just forest.
You gotta try an e-mountain bike Dustin! They are sweet af
what could possibly go RON
Amazing ride! I would proly go on a hard tail instead. But that’s fun anyways

Can’t fail!!!
Hey, What hip pack is Ron wearing?
So you're saying I need another bike...
All signs point to yes!
We need the paint job video too👌🏻
I got you!
How wide is Ron’s bar ? 😮
My one bike......Retrotec Fundero 29+ 🤔
holy shit! where did the Andy Capp tee come from? WANT!!

sure - good for that section only ?
I enjoyed it the whole time.
Ron “The Route”

Bro you cut so fast I got car sick
you should get a couple tandem bikes and go on a double date with your lady and ron plus his gal
They call him, "Tim"
You are so funny!!!
Oh god I’m nervous
Sell the house for that n+1 fun
Please tell me your NERD cred ( i.e. DICE) is just for the video. It would be cool to be that in sync with this channel.
