      @Mitch Smith I have roscoe as my first MTB bike for since September. Recently got in to more jumping and enduro/DH tracks. Started considering more grippy tires and maybe more narrow for better handling. I wonder how is the BB height and pedal strokes? Sometimes I already get pedal strokes since the cranks are 175 for my 17,5 frame. Not sure why they put so long cranks.

      What he means?
      He means that the headangle isn’t slack enough.
      68 degrees is pretty steep.
      66 would be a good start.
      You could adjust that with a longer fork, but that would steepen the seat tube angle even more, which is already at 71 degrees.
      Something around 73 would be good.
      This is more of a XC oriented trail bike.
      It looks really good and I almost bought one too, but now I’m in for a nukeproof scout or a dartmoor primal.

      70% of braking comes from the front. So front rotors have more work to do and more heat to dissipate. This mounts larger front rotors than rear. Same in many other applications such as cars, motorcycles

      That's not the case. Early 2019's came with Schwalbe Rocket Rons, later versions come with the Maxxis Tires. None of these come or came with Bontrager tires.

    Good thing they are changing the frame so that it is different from the Excalibur for 2020. Why would you pay 1500 for a bike with quick release in the back? My buddy bought this after his diamondback hook and hates his. It weighs just 2 lbs less than my full suspension nukeproof mega. Needless to say the Roscoe has its place but it isn’t on technical trails. He is currently saving for a commencal. Do your research before going out and buying a new bike. The same spec bike as mine from trek is $2000 more than what I paid

    • @henryfreund_
      @henryfreund_ 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jamesthebikeguy I wasn’t talking about the derailleur. I am talking about the quick release in the back. All that’s holding the back wheel in is a little skewer that I have snapped in the past. It’s just because it has the same as the Excalibur. Like I said, the 2020 bike has thru axle as it should. My buddy works at a trek shop and has all the info.

    • @Jamesthebikeguy
      @Jamesthebikeguy  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      We're talking 2 different things. Just cause your nukeproof has a "spec" similar to a Trek that is more expensive does not mean they are the same quality or have the same design performance.
      Hate to burst your bubble but the 2020 Roscoe and X-Cal continue with Boost 141 QR. Updated frame, but those bikes are released already so it isn't any secret!

      It is boost. Boost has to do with hub offset/width. In QR it is 141mm and Thru-axle is 148mm. Just like standard spacing is 135mm qr or 142mm thru axle.
