#TequilaCamTuesday..... The long awaited 130 build video is here for your viewing pleasure. Grab a margarita or three and enjoy the stupidity. Let me know if you have any questions!!
where can i find those wheels in europe? roval website only ships them in the us, and on the specialized italia there are none, just the new ones that are heavier, more expensive and uglier
This video was very informative. This format outshines your other bike checks because you show additional tips and hacks as you build it. Transparent pipe on derailleur, vinyl, “Clear Brah”, Etc. What is CLEAR BRAH? Thanks and do more of this. Thanks nerd
The total dream rig right there! The new sb130 is so beautiful! It might be one of my next bikes! The new generation of small travel bikes are so capable. I love how you make fun on Pinkbike from time to time. Imagine those people ride as much as they comment!
Big thanks on the build Nate👍🏼learned a few tricks. Next time, a little more instruction on making the cocktail. I found myself pulling directly from the bottle cuz I just couldn’t follow along quick enough😉
I’m always learning something off you firstly where to ride secondly more alcohol needed thirdly 34 teeth is almost 36 fourthly I could always go faster! Fifth that amount of editing is time consuming!! Still ain’t come down from the Enchilada thanks for the inspiration ✊️
First thing first, you are quiet a bit bartender, always know what is the right at the moment, CHEERS!!! The build is just perfect, love the 36 chain ring, is great to use "real man" gear when need it, preorder mine, love to run oval and YETI recommended only up to 34, so will have 32-34 (even my wife has the same), always saying you can or you can't climb hard stuff, not any BS spinning like hovering helicopter , done!!!! Have to tell this, wishing you many many new frames and components for great entertaining video builds like you done already...... NERD, you need to meet me, everybody knows that right color coordination and personal touch make your bike faster, cooler and easier to pedal than any average one of billion low standard! Enjoy!
Told you last winter we are buying 5.5, but we didn't , spent money on camper van downpayment, this year is the year, I am getting SB150 and wife SB5 Beti, was worth to wait I think, tested 2 weeks ago and decision is concerted , cant wait, thank you again for entertaining production, maaaan!
Badass bike! I'm a monster of a man at 240 lbs kitted up. I'm thinking I should be on a 150 for the extra beefiness. Or do you think the 130 is up for the challenge?
I made my own custom bike frame protection using a traction pad for surfing......you can cut the traction pad into strips or pieces to fit whatever you want to protect on your frame.....Its not clear like the invis protection but its actually a lot better to protect your investment, Has some padding built into it so when your rig slams the ground or rocks it actually has a small cushion to absorb the impact, and all the places I ride everyone is like that is really cool what is that? I use Da Kine surf traction.....DAKINE brah!!! Keep up the amazing content!!
Nate, morning from Bangkok during my "on rotation" flying gig. I must say its great to see you in a kick back relaxed , jovial mode and enjoying some killer T when building your Yeti as opposed to your hair raising downhill intense MTB'n! Always enjoy your videos and for giving me a lot of confidence and admiration to better my riding skills. Blue skies brother, Jg
Let me save you 23 minutes of your life... SRAM, Rock Shox, Roval, Maxxis, Ergon, Bash Guard, stickers, fishing reel pedals, power meter. Did I miss anything? Always great videos Nate. 🤘🏼
Hello, Nate and thanks for the tutorial. I need your help in selecting the right SB130 for me. I live in the Seattle WA area and ride places like Tiger Mountain, Raging River, Olallie, Tokul, etc. I'm an advanced rider who can easily do black diamond trails and some double black diamond trails but not without walking hairy parts of them. I'm ready to buy a new SB130 and I'm torn between 2 builds Yeti currently offers: 1. The Race X01 build 2. The new Lunch Ride version. I'm afraid that if I go with the Race X01 build, my downhill performance won't be so good and if I go with the Lunch Ride version, my climbing performance will suffer. How much will I gain/lose choosing one build over the other? I know the Lunch Ride version is slightly heavier than the Race X01 version. However, I'm definitely planning on going with the carbon wheel upgrade Yeti offers. What is your advice? I welcome advice from other SB130 owners too but I realize most people don't have a new SB130 Lunch Ride because they just came out about a week ago. Thanks for your time!
My 130 has basically been a LR since day 1. You really aren't compromising much on the uphill, but the bike really comes alive with the taller fork. Unless you are racing uphill, I wouldn't really focus on weight, but fun. The LR will let you get a bit more loose and have more fun. At the end of the day, that is what puts a smile on my face. Hope that helps!
2 parts Tequila, 1 part lime Juice. 1/2 part honey or other sweetener. Shake, salt, pour, consume, repeat. I was out of serrano peppers unfortunately....
first bike build ive watched till the end. wasnt really bothered about the bike more just listening to you chat on about bikes! awesome vid. would love to see more mechanical videos!
That quick glimpse of you swinging a hammer into you bottom bracket at the beginning made me gasp out loud! lol Sweet new sled Nate, I'm sure you'll give her a proper spanking on every ride!
I'm bummed that this bike doesn't have the flipped and shrouded stanchions like the SB100, but I love the new look of it. Still wondering if it is 29er/b+ capable. Thanks for posting, and being straightforward about sponsorship or lack there of WRT parts.
I have been running a 2.5 Minnion in the rear without issue. Transparency is the best policy. Not trying to fool anyone, I am fortunate to have the support!
Fek yeah! Anytime you combine tequila and new bike day...life is glorious. Especially a real lime marg. I've been seeing pics here and there of your 130, but never quite got a solid "up close" look at your build. Super solid, amigo. Will definitely check out those Roval wheels. Keep pedalin' and enjoying the margs!
Surprisingly information bike builds vids! Always fun to watch when it's cocktail time.I just slapped some fresh Minion DHF's on my Yeti this week. I LOVE new Minion day also haha! Cheers dude!
Really curious why you went with the 130 vs. the 150? Especially if you put on a 160MM fork in the 130. For as gnarly as you get, seemed like the better fit. Loved this vid BTW.
Thanks for watching man. I will be building a 150 with a 170mm fork in the near future. Honestly, the 130 handles 90 percent of my riding really well. 150 will be a park\DH rig for me. Smash Wagon.
The geo feels very different. Feels just as stable as 55, but seems to be a bit quicker to turn and has a more lively feel on trail to me. The steep seat angle is SO much better for climbing. Still love my 55 though.
Nice vid mate. Great to watch and love the humour. Looked at a SB 130 today at local bike shop ,they are sweet bikes. Looking forward to your thoughts. Cheers Nate👍👍
Yo Nate, love your videos. Not to hate on the press in bottom brackets, but just a thought. You mention that, "you've had 25 of 'em, and never had an issue" Might you suppose that, "You've never had an issue, Because, you've had 25 of 'em?" I mean I've only had one mountain bike and one road bike in the last decade. I'm not sponsored or interdependently wealthy, so my stuff has to last. Just an observation??? Keep shredding dude.
Why sb130 and not sb150? Sis it advisable to get sb130 if u already have the sb5.5? Which one u like better? Sorry if u already answered this questions, i havent finish the video yet 😬
I’m trying to understand the steeper seat tube and longer reach... doesn’t it change the fit of the bike, putting the seat further over the BB? Also, doesn’t a longer fork than intended, also shorten the reach?
It basically pushes everything forward. Makes things feel really stable and long, but still playful. Pretty sweet. Fork length will not change the reach, raises the BB a hair.
Nate Hills I’m just surprised with so many people complaining about the lack of maneuverability in 29ers, they keep getting longer. I ride a 2017 XL Stumpy. It’s a big friggin’ bike. I’m 6’3” and at times feels long to me. You’re right about the BB. I’ve never had an issue with press fit. Pinkbike comments carry a strong voice in this industry, it’s crazy!
When you offset the long reach with a short rear end and a 42mm offset fork, you get the best of both worlds. Transition got it right. Pinkbike is the final word, for better or worse. The comments are good for a laugh.
Nate Hills oh really, you think Transition got it right. I haven’t ridden one yet. So, you’re telling me that my 51mm offset fork is already obsolete?! Damn it. Keep up the great videos mate. 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Cool build Nate! Love Yeti! Are you use it any rim protector like cushcore, panzer or other? What do you think also to save some flats and can finish a trail without change the tube? Thx!
I haven't run any inserts. I down't really want to mess with cushcore as it is a complete pain and completely useless if you are really far from civilization for. a few days at a time. I like the pool toy idea, may give that a go.
How does she do when you get her into some bigger stuff? For my riding style, this bike would be more suitable than the 150 for the most part, especially if i threw a 160 in the front. But I do see myself getting a bit more sendy in the future, and love to hit bike parks a few times a season. I am coming off an SB5.5 which was the sweet spot for. I cant decide between 130 or 150
Great video Nate! One question: When you installed the Lyrik you included a comment about the fork offset of 42mm being IMPORTANT. Can you explain why? Thanks!
@@Jballard9130 2mm is minimal. I know absolutely nothing about a ripmo, but I would imagine you would have a really hard time feeling the 2mm difference. Enjoy the ride friend.
Nate Hills it’s pretty sick to get a same day reply from a pro rider. Thanks man. Sold the 5.5 and got a fantastic deal on the ripmo I just couldn’t pass up. Love the videos, keep em up. My two year old wakes up every day asking to watch follow cam Friday, Lol.
Thanks for the awesome vid Hillsy! Mines on order but as I am a non-ambassador slouch 🤪 it’ll be awhile before it arrives. Did the Stages clear the chainstay without mods? I was afraid the sensor/battery housing was going to rub and force me to switch to Quarq...🤞
The arm that I am using clears with about 3mm without any mods. This is the most clearance I have seen after running meters on the bikes for. a couple of years now. Stoked.
Hi Nate, spoke on your comments a few times, what made you choose between SB 130 & SB 150 as you've been riding SB 5.5turq for so long,because the 150 was a replacement for the 5.5 thought you would choose the 150 but you must have a good reason on going for the 130 would be great to hear your reason on your choice !! Great watching you do your build great sense of humour !!! 🤘🏻😎👍always a pleasure watching your great ;Follow cam Friday keep the cool vids going big up !! 👊🏼👍🌲🌲🚵🌲🌲🐾
I thought that 130 would be the best fit for most of the riding that I do. So far, I think I have made the correct decision. That said, I will be building a 150 as well eventually. Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate it amigo.
im glad to hear you say do whats comfortable (gearing and cockpit) here lately all my buddies just do and copy whats on the internet. im all for customizing for comfort and because you perfer it.... so fuk um iv allways been an upstream type of guy anyway....
This was such an awesome bike build! Now that you have ridden these bikes for a bit, if you were smack dab in between sizes (5'10.5") would you size up or down? The internet tends to say up, but large feels pretty big...
Hey, now that you've had this bike for a while, I've got a question for you. How would you say this bike compares to your old 5.5? I've got a 5.5 and I love it but I'm trying to decide if I should sell it to try out the new sb130.
Basically, I would hit my housing on rocks and small trees all the time, it would crack and have to be replaced. It is the weak point from a breakage standpoint. This just keeps that from happening, and I have to replace the housing much less frequently. More time to ride.
Sweet, thanks for hitting me back! Interesting that hasn't happened to me yet, I must not be riding hard enough! I'd love to know if anyone has a better solution to the end of the cable, I constantly losing the crimp and the cable starts to fray..
Should def do a show like this where u talk bikes stuff. Really like the one on one feel of this vid. Would be awesome variety with the riding vids, you've got the personality for it and all the knowledge as well!🤙🤙 #tequilacamtuedsday
Rly liked watching this! Especially since i worked a lot on my mew bike the last months! One Question on suspension: how many volume spacers do you run and whats your SAG?
Not sure how many spacers are in the rear, 2 tokens if front. I may add a token. I run 30ish percent sag in the rear and never measure the front. Hope that helps.
Nate Hills thanks, that helped. I‘m trying different setups in my fork and had good succed with two spacers for the steep tech trails i ride in the alps. But for my hometrails this is two much. Do you change setup for different terrain?
I know the boys over there very will. Jeff and his crew are top-notch. However, that shock is not available to purchase. I'm wondering if you have any pull over at RockShox to have that baby put in production?
Hi Nate, I enjoyed the build... just wondering what the stroke length is on your super deluxe as I am looking to build one up with the same shock? Thanks
Nate, how’d the 130 do in Europe? Looking at an SB 130 for a Transalp. I will practice on the Colorado Trail. Anything you’d add change after your trip?
Nate ....sou do Brasil....curto muito seus vídeos....assisto fazendo bicicleta ergométrica....me sinto você fazendo as manobras..,...já perdi bastante peso..... agradeço se responder..🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✌🏼
Hey man, I was wondering about the fork, I ride an Evil Calling with a 140mm Pike, I was thinking about having it extended to 150mm, will I really see a difference in terme head angle?
Nate, I ordered the 3M tape you suggested and was curious if you've had any issues with it peeling while applying dry instead of wet as recommended. Thanks!

#TequilaCamTuesday..... The long awaited 130 build video is here for your viewing pleasure. Grab a margarita or three and enjoy the stupidity. Let me know if you have any questions!!
Yeah, I got one... how can I become a matchy, matchy, tequila nerd? 😂
The more you drink Russell, the easier it gets.
Here's a awesome question....What's better 26 or 27.5 or even 29er ? 🤣😂🤣😂
Pinkbike is waiting for you Superminiracer..... haha
where can i find those wheels in europe? roval website only ships them in the us, and on the specialized italia there are none, just the new ones that are heavier, more expensive and uglier
"...think they make like fishing poles" 😂so good!
Lures, reels, that sort of thing.....
Can't say Shima....fishing poles lol
Yes, proper color matching! (paused vid>hit like button>continued vid) Sick bike man and nice build!
I'm such a dork.
Unless you’re red/orange color blind like me. Cool to see the tracing idea. #kindergartenflashbacks
Dat sponsors disclosure doe 👌
Sick machine!
Transparency is always the best policy.
I don't think anyone on Pinkbike actually rides. They just sit on the internet all day criticizing everything! Anyway, sweet bike there broski!
Always wondered if they actually ride... Pure entertainment if nothing else.
At 09:10 tequila was already possessing you 🤣, thank god you didn't cut a leg of your Lyrik instead of the steer tube.
Haha, close one. Measure 14 times, cut 3 times....
This video was very informative. This format outshines your other bike checks because you show additional tips and hacks as you build it. Transparent pipe on derailleur, vinyl, “Clear Brah”, Etc. What is CLEAR BRAH?
Thanks and do more of this. Thanks nerd
Clear braah is thinly sliced bro bras that have been bleached and pounded until they become translucent.
Best 20mins I spent all week! Sick build🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thanks for watching all of that!
The total dream rig right there! The new sb130 is so beautiful! It might be one of my next bikes! The new generation of small travel bikes are so capable. I love how you make fun on Pinkbike from time to time. Imagine those people ride as much as they comment!
The PB comment section if good for a laugh now and then. Time is better spent riding though, if you ask me, ha.
First bike build I’ve watched in ages. Enough detail without boring. Like your “matter of fact” style and tequila interludes... 🤘🏼
Thanks Tim, drinking while watching this video also makes it more interesting, haha.
Probably the funniest bike build I’ve seen before
Big thanks on the build Nate👍🏼learned a few tricks. Next time, a little more instruction on making the cocktail. I found myself pulling directly from the bottle cuz I just couldn’t follow along quick enough😉
Sounds like you are drinking correctly! ha
I’m always learning something off you firstly where to ride secondly more alcohol needed thirdly 34 teeth is almost 36 fourthly I could always go faster! Fifth that amount of editing is time consuming!!
Still ain’t come down from the Enchilada thanks for the inspiration ✊️
No worries Mitch. Glad you enjoyed your enchiladas.
First thing first, you are quiet a bit bartender, always know what is the right at the moment, CHEERS!!! The build is just perfect, love the 36 chain ring, is great to use "real man" gear when need it, preorder mine, love to run oval and YETI recommended only up to 34, so will have 32-34 (even my wife has the same), always saying you can or you can't climb hard stuff, not any BS spinning like hovering helicopter , done!!!! Have to tell this, wishing you many many new frames and components for great entertaining video builds like you done already...... NERD, you need to meet me, everybody knows that right color coordination and personal touch make your bike faster, cooler and easier to pedal than any average one of billion low standard! Enjoy!
Haha, thanks for the kind words Verdon! Stoked you are getting one, you will be amazed. So much fun!
Told you last winter we are buying 5.5, but we didn't , spent money on camper van downpayment, this year is the year, I am getting SB150 and wife SB5 Beti, was worth to wait I think, tested 2 weeks ago and decision is concerted , cant wait, thank you again for entertaining production, maaaan!
A camper van is always a god gall. Got to have some place to store those bikes, ha.
nice one. One of the best bike build video's I've seen. Perfect amount of detail mixed with not taking bikes too seriously. Thanks, Nate
Never take things too seriously, bikes are fun. Just like tequila. Thanks for watching!
Badass bike! I'm a monster of a man at 240 lbs kitted up. I'm thinking I should be on a 150 for the extra beefiness. Or do you think the 130 is up for the challenge?
Bigger or smaller than Richie? haha. I say go 150 and smash into everything!
I AM JEALOUS!!! This bike was on my short list, but way too expensive. So I wound up with a new '18 SB5.5 instead... Thanks, Nate!
Enjoy! I have had several 55's. You will be stoked! Still love mine.
hands down the best mtb youtuber out there!!!
i road this bike this past weekend..sweet!! rig..obviously not spec out like Mr Hills
Thanks Jason. Glad you got to throw a leg over her.
Great video! Had it on in the background with headphones on and the cheering that you added scared the shit out of me!
Right on Nate! Can't wait to see this beast in action!
Once you’ve had some time in the saddle would love to see a review on the 130!
I made my own custom bike frame protection using a traction pad for surfing......you can cut the traction pad into strips or pieces to fit whatever you want to protect on your frame.....Its not clear like the invis protection but its actually a lot better to protect your investment, Has some padding built into it so when your rig slams the ground or rocks it actually has a small cushion to absorb the impact, and all the places I ride everyone is like that is really cool what is that? I use Da Kine surf traction.....DAKINE brah!!! Keep up the amazing content!!
Good tip right there. I bet that offers a lot more protections than the clear bra. Good stuff! #adam'sbikehacks
Hahaha im a bit of a bike nerd myself, raced Mammoth last weekend it came in handy!
using a traction pad seems like a huge waste of money (unless its recycled) you could use 3m adhesive foam instead in order to save some money
I gave used mastic tape before for the chainstays. Works great.
Those are some nice G Loomis pedals! Lol Man! It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a video out of the shop and it was gold!
Haha, thanks mang
Team Daiwa bruh!
definitely a chain guide and bashguard when you run a 36t. me, out of shape running a 30 t, never hit it.
You crack me up!
Seriously can't believe that you are actually at home. Thought that you lived on the road!
Can't wait to see the ride video.
Loving some quality time in the cave of man.
Nate, morning from Bangkok during my "on rotation" flying gig.

Nate, I mustache you a question...can you give us your cocktail recipe?
2 parts Tequila, 1 part lime Juice. 1/2 part honey or other sweetener. Shake, salt, pour, consume, repeat. I was out of serrano peppers unfortunately....
I was trawling the comments for this exact query, before I asked! hahaha
That bike is perfect
first bike build ive watched till the end. wasnt really bothered about the bike more just listening to you chat on about bikes! awesome vid. would love to see more mechanical videos!
Real talk, ha. Thanks for watching.
That quick glimpse of you swinging a hammer into you bottom bracket at the beginning made me gasp out loud! lol Sweet new sled Nate, I'm sure you'll give her a proper spanking on every ride!
I promise to ride this bike with complete disregard for my personal safety.
I'm bummed that this bike doesn't have the flipped and shrouded stanchions like the SB100, but I love the new look of it. Still wondering if it is 29er/b+ capable. Thanks for posting, and being straightforward about sponsorship or lack there of WRT parts.
I have been running a 2.5 Minnion in the rear without issue. Transparency is the best policy. Not trying to fool anyone, I am fortunate to have the support!
Indoor gold 🤘 @outdoorGold 😉
Man these new Yeti frames look awesome. Some day I'll retire the 575...nawwwwwww.
Sick build man! Try installing the clear bra with water and a shot of isopropyl alcohol, it will lay down nice and smooth 👍🏼
if you didn't flinch at 0:19 you have no soul.
Rad build.
Haha, keeping you on your toes!
Fek yeah! Anytime you combine tequila and new bike day...life is glorious. Especially a real lime marg. I've been seeing pics here and there of your 130, but never quite got a solid "up close" look at your build. Super solid, amigo. Will definitely check out those Roval wheels. Keep pedalin' and enjoying the margs!
Beautiful build, proper cocktails. 10/10.
Cheers Ryan
Nate I always knew you were a stud, but damn, you're THE most interesting man in the world!
Haha!
Surprisingly information bike builds vids! Always fun to watch when it's cocktail time.I just slapped some fresh Minion DHF's on my Yeti this week. I LOVE new Minion day also haha! Cheers dude!
New minion day is the best day!
Really curious why you went with the 130 vs. the 150? Especially if you put on a 160MM fork in the 130. For as gnarly as you get, seemed like the better fit. Loved this vid BTW.
Thanks for watching man. I will be building a 150 with a 170mm fork in the near future. Honestly, the 130 handles 90 percent of my riding really well. 150 will be a park\DH rig for me. Smash Wagon.
giggled quite a few times through this video. makes me want to build a bike for the first time
Do it.
Any thoughts on the 130 vs 5.5?
Bought a 5.5 last fall and love it. (Water bottle cage wasn't a deal breaker for me......lol.)
The geo feels very different. Feels just as stable as 55, but seems to be a bit quicker to turn and has a more lively feel on trail to me. The steep seat angle is SO much better for climbing. Still love my 55 though.
Bought 5.5 in the Spring. It's a monster. Can run over anything!!!
Nice vid mate.
Great to watch and love the humour.
Looked at a SB 130 today at local bike shop ,they are sweet bikes.
Looking forward to your thoughts.
Cheers Nate👍👍
Yo Nate, love your videos. Not to hate on the press in bottom brackets, but just a thought.

Press fit bb's are really inexpensive. Just saying. I am poor, but am rich in bikes. haha
Loved the video. I can't wait to get my SB130 ordered! Also, cool tip on the vinyl to color coordinate. I'll definitely be using it! Cheers Nate.
Cheers Brian, enjoy your new bike;)
Nate your the man! I think you should run a 38 tooth ring up front! Your bike builds are great thanks!
Wish it would fit! haha. Mountain gearing.
Why sb130 and not sb150? Sis it advisable to get sb130 if u already have the sb5.5? Which one u like better? Sorry if u already answered this questions, i havent finish the video yet 😬
Not sure which I like better yet. They are different bikes. Toe geometry feels very different. More testing needed, Damian.
150 more agressive than 130..right?
I’m trying to understand the steeper seat tube and longer reach... doesn’t it change the fit of the bike, putting the seat further over the BB? Also, doesn’t a longer fork than intended, also shorten the reach?

I could read Pinkbike all day. There was a real treat on there today about Evil bikes. Good stuff!
🤙. Shaking margaritas next to the espresso machine!! What else can you ask for😜
Kitchen game dial!
Dude, that bike is properly beautiful
With so many kooks doing MTB videos these days, it’s nice to see Nate still holding it down for the real heads out there.
All of the kooks! Keepin it real for the OG's haha
Fun video. Thanks for not getting too serious on the 🚲 build.
Happy Trails on your new rig bro 🤘
What me serious? Never.
Cool build Nate! Love Yeti!
Are you use it any rim protector like cushcore, panzer or other?
What do you think also to save some flats and can finish a trail without change the tube?
Thx!
I haven't run any inserts. I down't really want to mess with cushcore as it is a complete pain and completely useless if you are really far from civilization for. a few days at a time. I like the pool toy idea, may give that a go.
Alien technology. Love the video. After a ride, I eat popcorn and watch your channel.
Sounds like a solid recovery plan David!
That’s why I can’t fix a bike. I’m not drinking tequila!
This was awesome. Shows your relaxed personality, which is way cool!
It was the tequila talking, ha.
can this handle a vail pass shuttle?? seriously, sick build. hopefully this sees some good action at home before things change too much.
Haha, hope it is up to the task. Snow is coming!
That bike build is straight up SEXY!!
Jesus..I thought it was goose gossage for a second...carry on...
How does she do when you get her into some bigger stuff? For my riding style, this bike would be more suitable than the 150 for the most part, especially if i threw a 160 in the front. But I do see myself getting a bit more sendy in the future, and love to hit bike parks a few times a season. I am coming off an SB5.5 which was the sweet spot for. I cant decide between 130 or 150
130 feels similar to my 55. I would imagine the 150 is overkill for most of the riding we do. Almost a dh rig...
Is this build a 29er or 27.5? Also, do you run the same size wheels on all your mtb's?
This is a 29er
Love your transparency and love watching your vids!
Did you size this frame the same you would an SB5.5? Did the 40mm stem fix any reach issues you had?
I have always been a medium so I went with that. The 40 feels sick and definitely helps with the difference in reach, without compromising stability.
Nate should I buy the SB 150 or SB 130? Thoughts
I haven't ridden the 150 yet. Not knowing you or your riding style, it is hard to say.
Dude! This is entertaining as hell. You’re a funny dude and a great rider. Cheers!
Haha, thanks for watching. Glad I could amuse you.
Great video Nate! One question: When you installed the Lyrik you included a comment about the fork offset of 42mm being IMPORTANT. Can you explain why? Thanks!
This basically shortens the wheelbase and compensates for the added reach. Makes this long bike feel nimble basically.
Thanks! LOVE learning about stuff like that and thank you for sharing!
Do you think there is a noticeable difference between the 44 offset the bike it spec’d with and the 42? Considering a lyric for my ripmo...
@@Jballard9130 2mm is minimal. I know absolutely nothing about a ripmo, but I would imagine you would have a really hard time feeling the 2mm difference. Enjoy the ride friend.
Nate Hills it’s pretty sick to get a same day reply from a pro rider. Thanks man. Sold the 5.5 and got a fantastic deal on the ripmo I just couldn’t pass up.
Love the videos, keep em up. My two year old wakes up every day asking to watch follow cam Friday, Lol.
Best mtb vid of 2018 tbh...
Thanks Bud!
Thanks for the awesome vid Hillsy! Mines on order but as I am a non-ambassador slouch 🤪 it’ll be awhile before it arrives. Did the Stages clear the chainstay without mods? I was afraid the sensor/battery housing was going to rub and force me to switch to Quarq...🤞
The arm that I am using clears with about 3mm without any mods. This is the most clearance I have seen after running meters on the bikes for. a couple of years now. Stoked.
Still waiting on an espresso setup check... good shit as usual man
Like the Tequila, like the Breville , and man that Yeti 👌
All the good things.
Hi Nate, spoke on your comments a few times, what made you choose between SB 130 & SB 150 as you've been riding SB 5.5turq for so long,because the 150 was a replacement for the 5.5 thought you would choose the 150 but you must have a good reason on going for the 130 would be great to hear your reason on your choice !! Great watching you do your build great sense of humour !!! 🤘🏻😎👍always a pleasure watching your great ;Follow cam Friday keep the cool vids going big up !! 👊🏼👍🌲🌲🚵🌲🌲🐾
I thought that 130 would be the best fit for most of the riding that I do. So far, I think I have made the correct decision. That said, I will be building a 150 as well eventually. Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate it amigo.
The 130 is actually the 5.5 replacement according to yeti! Just sayin.. The 150 is an entirely new beast!
Feels every bit as capable as my 55. 150 will be my DH bike!
im glad to hear you say do whats comfortable (gearing and cockpit) here lately all my buddies just do and copy whats on the internet. im all for customizing for comfort and because you perfer it.... so fuk um iv allways been an upstream type of guy anyway....
Do what feels good man. There is no "right" way, just preferences. Enjoy the ride!
Great vid although Scotch and cigars is the superior activity while bike buildering.....
This was such an awesome bike build! Now that you have ridden these bikes for a bit, if you were smack dab in between sizes (5'10.5") would you size up or down? The internet tends to say up, but large feels pretty big...
Hey, now that you've had this bike for a while, I've got a question for you. How would you say this bike compares to your old 5.5? I've got a 5.5 and I love it but I'm trying to decide if I should sell it to try out the new sb130.
Great vid! Why do you put the clear tubing on the exposed shifter cable again? I didn’t quite understand. Just extra protection for the housing?
Basically, I would hit my housing on rocks and small trees all the time, it would crack and have to be replaced. It is the weak point from a breakage standpoint. This just keeps that from happening, and I have to replace the housing much less frequently. More time to ride.
Sweet, thanks for hitting me back! Interesting that hasn't happened to me yet, I must not be riding hard enough! I'd love to know if anyone has a better solution to the end of the cable, I constantly losing the crimp and the cable starts to fray..
Maybe you are just less of a hack than me;) This was more of an issue in the old days when the exposed housing was longer and stuck out more I guess.
While I got your attention, why don't you get to do the Trans Cascadia? Why does Kabush get all the fun? That one seems right up your alley..
That shock needs to go. Find one without a piggyback and that bottle cage will do just fine holding the tequila.
I might fill my piggyback with tequila. Two birds, one stone.
Piggy back is the shizz
best bike build video ever
Thanks!
Should def do a show like this where u talk bikes stuff. Really like the one on one feel of this vid. Would be awesome variety with the riding vids, you've got the personality for it and all the knowledge as well!🤙🤙 #tequilacamtuedsday
Thanks Carson. Definitely considering doing some more of this style of video. Just need some more tequila... ha.
Why not take the sb150?
I will build a 150 too.
Rly liked watching this! Especially since i worked a lot on my mew bike the last months!
One Question on suspension: how many volume spacers do you run and whats your SAG?
Not sure how many spacers are in the rear, 2 tokens if front. I may add a token. I run 30ish percent sag in the rear and never measure the front. Hope that helps.
Nate Hills thanks, that helped. I‘m trying different setups in my fork and had good succed with two spacers for the steep tech trails i ride in the alps. But for my hometrails this is two much. Do you change setup for different terrain?
I just want to know why my lyrik rc2 came with an axle with a lever and you have a stealth.... sigh
I think they are super cheap if you want to upgrade....
I know the boys over there very will. Jeff and his crew are top-notch. However, that shock is not available to purchase. I'm wondering if you have any pull over at RockShox to have that baby put in production?
Haha, that is not my call friend, I'm just an athlete. Guess this one is custom. Maybe someday.
Is this your primary enduro race bike nate?
Time will tell friend. Needs more testing.
Hi Nate, I enjoyed the build... just wondering what the stroke length is on your super deluxe as I am looking to build one up with the same shock? Thanks
210MM X 52.5MM . Enjoy that thing!
what size shrink tube is that? getting a new bike this week and need to have it lookin good for all of the lady bikes!
I can't remember but if you bring a piece of housing to the local hardware store, they will sort you out. That is what I did.
What is the difference btw the multi tool in the headset vs. the bottle cage? Are they redundant or each have a unique set of tools?
My chain tool is in my top cap and there is a basic multi tool mounted to my cage. Different bits.
What's the total weight come in at for this awesome build. The frame with rear shock looks super light...
I never weigh my bikes, they are as light as I feel comfortable without compromising durability. Probably 30 if I had to guess with real tires.
Is this your go-to rig for Sedona trails or the 150? Awesome bike!
Either way.
Nate, how’d the 130 do in Europe? Looking at an SB 130 for a Transalp. I will practice on the Colorado Trail. Anything you’d add change after your trip?
I think this is the perfect set up for that sort of thing. I wouldn't change a thing.
Awesome bike Nate! What is the chain guide you used? I can't find it on your parts list, and every MRP chain guide I see only fits 1x11 on its spec.
Mrp SXG. 11 is the same as 12 Spd.
Nate ....sou do Brasil....curto muito seus vídeos....assisto fazendo bicicleta ergométrica....me sinto você fazendo as manobras..,...já perdi bastante peso..... agradeço se responder..🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✌🏼
7:28 Finalborgo! Pedalare 🤙🏻
Hey man, I was wondering about the fork, I ride an Evil Calling with a 140mm Pike, I was thinking about having it extended to 150mm, will I really see a difference in terme head angle?
Adding 10mm will translate to roughly 1/2 degree slacker HT angle.
Nate, I ordered the 3M tape you suggested and was curious if you've had any issues with it peeling while applying dry instead of wet as recommended. Thanks!
I have only used it dry and never had an issue.
So you are one of those persons that keep the stock grease on the chains ? I still haven't figured out if you have to take it off or not lol
I always leave it on there. This way I don't have to lube for a week. Seems silly to remove it to me.
Best bike build vid ever. Great job :D
Thanks Chris.
