    I recently swapped a rigid Whisky fork into my hardtail and have been absolutely loving it! Suspension has its place but for 90% of my riding, rigid is great.

    Wow! I am late to the game, but that was impressive! The beating he was taking on a fully rigid bike, well I was there 30 years ago! Brian is a beast! I never heard him breathe! Great video, captures the essence of the ride, what fun!

    One of the few mountain bike riders without suspension. He has my respect.
    Riding current mountain bikes feels soooo artificial to me with all that suspension.
    That's why I like the simplicity of gravel bikes, where you have to think a lot more and choose the optimal route at speed.

  • @shawnpritchard366
    @shawnpritchard366 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I ride a rigid single speed exclusively.
    A dropper post is mandatory, it allows me to move around on the bike as I'm the only suspension.

      It's funny, it was bothering me so much just as the question came up. Do you think you're going ultralight on a custom XXXL frame? I don't know what's to be "stubbornly proud" about, just seems like a foolish move for style points.

    Imagine Moab no suspension.
    Now imagine Moab no suspension carrying 50lb bag corn.
    I was running up2 400lb per both contact patch.
    To understand what u really seeing here....
    This man is 6'10".
    The weight of someone who is 6 feet 10 inches tall can vary significantly based on factors like body composition, muscle mass, and overall health. However, here are some general estimates based on Body Mass Index (BMI):
    Healthy weight range (BMI 18.5 - 24.9): Approximately 180 to 250 pounds (82 to 113 kg)
    Overweight (BMI 25 - 29.9): Approximately 250 to 300 pounds (113 to 136 kg)
    Obese (BMI 30 and above): Over 300 pounds (136 kg and above)
    It's important to note that these are general estimates and individual weights can vary.
    So we guess he is 220lb.
    No suspension.
    But in reality, his suspension is vastly superiour to any fullsuspension bcuz he has Ballon tires. Firthermore PSI he running 12lb front
    22PSI rear 29 x 2.6 tires.
