TKolbo please if you help me and save me watch the whole vídeo ... does this alter the effective fork lenght or is just internal travel wich reduces? Thanks!
@Tkolbo_ I wish that was the standard color and finish for the Mezzer or atleast an option still. Looks so much better than the matte black with chrome stickers. The new Mattoc has a polished silver CSU that might glare
Well I enjoy that it is really damn light, and has 37mm stanchions. I haven't had enough time on the trail with it yet (thanks to winter) to really get a good feel of it compared to other forks, but my first impressions are that it is really really rad! I'll keep you updated on the fork as I get to ride it though!
I actually do have an overview and first impressions video up on my channel. I plan on doing a review after getting some trail time on it. Right now I’m still waiting for my locals trails to be free of snow and dry up, they are unbearably muddy in spots without snow
Definitely! I’m going to attempt a bracketing tuning video to get it dialed in settings wise as well. I’m hoping the weather we’ve been having holds up and the trails can open in a couple weeks
Good video. I am thinking about getting a Mezzer fork. I would drop it down to 140mm travel. Do you notice any difference in ride quality after reducing travel? Thanks.
Yo, so I’ve only ridden it at 160 now, but I’m sure it’ll ride just the same! Except at 140mm it’ll be even more stiff and predictable which is awesome! Also it’s important to note that the air pressure recommendations printed on the fork are for it at 180mm travel. So there are different recs for reduced travel. I put a link to Hayes site for that in the description! At 140mm of travel this fork will seriously slay! Thanks for watching and for the question!
Thanks for replying. I like the idea of having a fork that can serve as a 140 mm trail fork or do a travel change and have a 170 mm enduro fork for a day at the bike park. Now I just need to find a Mezzer.
I mean I just watched this whole thing, I don't have a Manitou fork, AND there was no metal song. Imma have to unsub I'm afraid. :P Seriously though, yes please more tech vids. You know what you're doing and explain it well. "One day I'll be pro" is a perfectly valid sign off, btw.
Damnit I missed a golden opportunity...my previous video really raised the bar and I’m not sure I can get over it...but I do have some ideas for future videos...haha I’m glad you enjoyed the video and that you find my approach to tech videos good and helpful! Maybe I’ll use that for a sign off? Or maybe I’ll steal everyone else’s still!

Nice and easy 👌🏻. The old arm torch wrench rarely fails haha. Pretty profound words at the end 👊🏻
I’ve trained my elbow to dislocate at 4 Nm. Pretty handy trick for this application, but not great for general life hahaha!
@@Tkolbo_ lol nice
Nice technique on how to change travel my friend
Thank you! Glad enjoyed it and thanks for watching.
Useful video, thanks 👍
You installed that lower on backwards!!!!! The arch is on the back side of the fork!!!!! ;)
Son of a bitch! I knew something felt off hahahaha! A lot of people have thought I’ve installed my fork backwards out on the trails
Looks right to me at the end of vid its supposed to be at rear/baxkwards.
@@dandyer8351 yeah, I was joking. It looks strange with the arch at the back as if it was installed wrong.
does the travel adjustment change the axle to crown measurement or just restrict the amount the fork can compress?
Unless I’m awful with a tape measure reducing travel does reduce the axle to crown!
TKolbo please if you help me and save me watch the whole vídeo ... does this alter the effective fork lenght or is just internal travel wich reduces? Thanks!
It looks like it reduces overall fork length
Nice tech vid!
Hey thanks! I’m just starting to do these tech vids and am excited to see how they improve
cool to know.
Absolutely! Someone should find it helpful!
Do the travel reducer spaces come in the box with forks or they seperate
They come in the box!
Does that polished silver finish glare when the sun hits it blinding you?
Not at all. It’s not actually polished so no glare!
@Tkolbo_ I wish that was the standard color and finish for the Mezzer or atleast an option still. Looks so much better than the matte black with chrome stickers. The new Mattoc has a polished silver CSU that might glare
How do you like your mezzer, what is better / worse than other forks you had before?
Well I enjoy that it is really damn light, and has 37mm stanchions. I haven't had enough time on the trail with it yet (thanks to winter) to really get a good feel of it compared to other forks, but my first impressions are that it is really really rad! I'll keep you updated on the fork as I get to ride it though!
Are you going to make a video for servicing and bleeding the damper bladder?
Once I learn the process and know it well enough to teach others I will! Learning it is a goal this winter
very nice 🌹🙏👍
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Are you planning to do a full review on the fork?
I actually do have an overview and first impressions video up on my channel. I plan on doing a review after getting some trail time on it. Right now I’m still waiting for my locals trails to be free of snow and dry up, they are unbearably muddy in spots without snow
@@Tkolbo_ looking forward to the trail review. Especially thoughts against RS and Fox if you have them
Definitely! I’m going to attempt a bracketing tuning video to get it dialed in settings wise as well. I’m hoping the weather we’ve been having holds up and the trails can open in a couple weeks
Bro now I kinda want this fork lol
It’s been badass so far. Perhaps you should get one!
@@Tkolbo_ after I finish paying for my way too expensive DJ
I looked it up for a hot second, looked at the price... aaaand clicked away. My fox float will have to do for a while.
@@BlackBikes check out the mezzer expert. Little more friendly price tag!
@@RydenDirty but it’s a sick DJ bike!

@@pauls3616 Absolutely agree! Do you need 27.5 or 29" and what offset?!?
29” with 44mm offset. The 51 offset seems to be more readily available.
@@pauls3616 yeah exactly it is. Hopefully the 44 comes back into stock sooner than later for you!

@@Tkolbo_ You have momentum, gotta ride the wave! Actually, stealing others' signoffs is a pretty fun shtick. Why not. I see you on the trails! :P
@@BlackBikes I’m just a thief listening to a joker...by the watchtower...
@@Tkolbo_ 🖤
i'm only here for the death metal...lame
So bummed that I disappointed you...
