How I Set Up My Bike For Jibbing And Trials - Pivot Shadowcat Bike Check
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ค. 2024
- This is probably my most asked question so today we have a bike check video covering component choice and suspension set up, then I take it for a spin to see what it can do!
This is also the first video where Fraser is acting as my dedicated filmer...it makes my life a lot easier and in my opinion really ups the quality of the video...I'd love to know your thoughts as I'd love to have him help out more often.
Please give Fraser a follow on instagram too @fraserhand_ as he is a very good rider in his own right, he also dabbles at TH-cam @fraserhand lets see if we can nudge his followers up a little bit.
If you're in Wales and fancy an adventure then please consider booking a tour with Corris Mine Explorers, I had a blast!

I hope you enjoyed this video!

This is my favorite video in a while. You make that look so easy, and that bike looks amazing.
Thanks Joel!
@@Ali_Clarkson interested to know how compares to your hex?
I am sure have mentioned before regarding how well i thought full sus could work for trials riding
But not having the skill you have, was difficult to prove?
The moment when he said "my side business AliExpress" was magnificent
😋
Thanks for doing this video Ali. Now i can set my bike up like yours and still be shit.
Haha maybe you’ll surprise yourself 😊
Another superb video what a great job Fraser did filming specially following Ali over the rocks more Fraser please I think Ali and all of us would appreciate him filming
Thank you, I’m sure he’ll be pleased to hear that too :)
@@Ali_Clarkson You’re welcome
Involving Fraser is definitely a leap forward, Ali . Now that I watch this video in the new format for the first time, I feel like it's getting some sort of new vibe to it.
Wow! Awesome to see you throwing a mountain bike around those rocks. You make a very hard thing look so easy. Well done.
Dynamic is the word! I like the addition of Fraser.
Adding a comment because this deserves it and I wanted to see the number hit 100 haha
The riding was awesome!Just freestyling across the boulder pile looked amazing.
Thank you!
Fair play @ 12:45 that looks high poop factor! Bike works very well. Camerman great addition.
"From my side business Ali Express" LOL! I came back to this video to find an actual parts site where you sell the stuff you use. Loved the breakdown of your setup. Very critical when applying trials to mtb. Thanks!
Wow epic video, loved watching you make those rocks laughablly easy... Nice work Ali!
Thanks very much 👍🏻
That looks so easy!!! But I know as soon as I try one jump I would end up in the hospital! You sir are good
Awesome having a camera man this go-round!
Thanks for inspiring me to get out on my hardtail and do a little trials style riding again :) Great video 👍
Trialsy stuff on mtb is just pure magic
You should do a series where you learn a new dirt jump skill in each video.
I think the future of trials really is going to be a big meshing of the different disciplines.
In the future people will have to be really well rounded riders who can "Jib" as you all it but also huck a drop or whip a gap
Because a well rounded rider like that can ultimately put out the most interesting type of content
Guys like you and danny doing trials techniques on capable enduro/trail bikes and making it look so good will be the precursor to that IMO
A ton of trials techniques/ tricks make a ton of sense in the context of a technical slopestyle/urban freeride so I think it makes sense that you will see trials riders learning to jump/freeride and also slopestyle guys learning different trials techniques
Awesome Vid. It did look cool with the mountain in the back!!
Your cameraman did a great job 👌
Great video. Nice, camera work. 😊
Thank you very much!
Yes, well done Frazer
Now that is a very pretty bike
It’s a looker!
Great vid ali and big up frasier on the camera duty those lines look great fun
Now When you getting to ride that trail you started building
Magic
🪄
That was excellent. Brilliant riding and filming. Definitely the way forward.
That look's so good!! Super nice video to watch!! 👌
Great work Fraser 😊
This was so cool to see! Im always trying to jib around on my fs and im stoked to see that we both run similar set ups. Thanks Ali!
Great vid! Love the location. Awesome geology and cinematic vibe. Bike looks dialed and you’re looking strong. Keep it up Ali. Thanks for creating.
So much power and endurance. Some of those lines were huge and went on forever.
Great work Fraser!
Great area to ride in, and cool job by Cammer...
Sick riding on those rocks
Awesome riding as always Ali!
Freakin phenomenal. :-D great riding and fun to see how the pressures you're running compare to my enduro/trail pressures on my bike.
Nice to have a filmer eh!
Frazer handycam, shredder of the loading bay and laird of the pump track!
Loving how easy you make it look on the shadypuss 👌
Wow really enjoyed that, keep it up lad 😉
Great video Ali!
Great as usual!!
Awesome nature ride ali, good videographer 🙌🏻
Smoothness.
Wow with closer following camera shows the lines better and how strong and precise Ali movements is
What a rider!🎉
Awesome video 🔥
That is about the same as I run my shocks, max rated pressure, but locked out (at 100kg I still bottom out). Of course my full suspension bike doesn't dance around lightly like yours does. Must be the hot pink.
The colour makes all the difference 😂
10:54 so smoooth!
it still weirds me out hearing people say 27.5 as smaller wheels. I still ride enduro and dh with 26 and have never had issues that the wagon wheels supposedly were supposed to fix. Awesome bike and video.!
Yep amazing level of riding in that video, having someone holding the camera makes your riding shine!
Glad you liked it!
o my , what a skill !!!!
very cool.
Awesome 💚
Wow fast rebound, I want to know what you run for rebound when you ride trails and even jumps. Seriously high level riding, it looks so fun blasting up those huge rocks! Surprised you run 10 psi less up front, maybe I've been running my front tires way too hard
Ai, by my calcs, if you ran the 30t ring, you'd be 1/2 way between your current ratio and using the 21t cog, from 32.1 to 34.2 vs 36.7 if you dropped down to the 21t. Your pressures aren't as high as I'd imagined they would be.
Also, from a shooting perspective, you should have stayed with your first angle and sun somewhat behind you, created really nice lighting with the backlight helping you and the bike stand out from the background, vs with the sun in front where I found you "blended" into the background.
That’s one way that could work but like someone else commented going to shorter cranks would stiffen up the best slightly and I think that would be a great way to go as I maintain the ground clearance of the smaller chainring and also gain a bit of clearance with the shorter cranks. I appreciate your quick maths though 👍🏻
Did the same calculations without realizing you already commented it lol. But after some more quick calculations, the force on the pedal would be roughly the same staying with the 28t but switching to a 165mm crank compared to 175mm cranks and a 30t.
HONESTLY you are 1 of best trials riders, I know you love street but....Sam 😢 look out...wow
If I forgot to mention it in the bike reveal, this bike looks sick! Awesome riding too
Hello I love your videos there, and in this last one I have seen that you use a bash guards and the dish also where I could get it thanks
You ride that so well! Actually looks really good. Honestly most trials guys look awful on mtb even when amazing at trials. I blame this on bike sloppy set ups. This bike and set up seem a good fit. 13:42 was fave move and bike is ideal for that move.
Thank you very much :)
SO smooth
Cool, helicopter!
Nice job Fraser! I really appreciate the nice dynamic range in this footage, for example the segment at 10:46. Perfect for this style of footage. Nice sound too. Would love to know what kind of setup was used here (camera, lens, mic, quality/log settings, etc).
Camera is something I’ll talk about soon, it’s not been released yet but I’m really pleased with how it’s worked out 👍🏻
@@Ali_Clarkson Cool, looking forward to it :)
Good idea camera 🎥 man follow you through the lines to give more of a akrigg perspective
Очень круто, благодарю
at last a gear set-up I can copy
hi Ali,
do you have any tips on bailing high (1.5-2m tall) skinny features?
how would you approach this type of higher consequence low margin for error features?
I feel like a pinion or IGH would make jibbing on a trail bike even better
Certainly would be nice not to have a mech BUT pinions and internal hubs have very few engagements and any benefits would soon be lost
Is a 26t and a 9spd 11-36 on a 26er dj bike with 45deg stem and high rise bar ok? I am struggling with budget sometimes bike shop over price so I need a wise purchase.
did you say what size the frame was? anyways when youre standing next to it it looks really playfull and low slung for a mid travel bike
I don’t think I did! It’s a medium and I’m 177cm 🤘🏻
How tall are you? Is the inspired hex perfekt for your you?
Brilliant! What size is the frame and how tall are you? I'm thinking I would go one size smaller than a regular trail bike if I was doing techy/playful/trialsy things. What do you think?
Yep that’s what I did/do. I’m 177cm and ride a medium 👍🏻
Did you have custom decals made for the fork or is that how they came? I had some made for my enduro bike by Slik Graphics, they're a Swedish company but they deliver pretty promptly to the UK.
No this is how they came with the bike 👍🏻
most people have 32, 104BCD front sprocket., on a MTB/ Jump bike
Ive never seen a 28 104BCD hollow tech (all I can afford)
What would you recommend for a back sprocket, but single speed for 32 t front sprocket .. Im about to purchase three different size rear sprockets, For jibby moves
Ive been asking this question for some years, and many times on this channel! 🤞
So this bike is 28-24 so with a 32 up front maybe a 26 on the rear?
do you think that volume spacers would give a nicer feeling to the bike for trials or not?? just a random question that came to mind
can i also say that this looks like the most suiting place to use a bike like that
Yes I think volume spacers could be worth playing with 👌🏻
How much travel do you end up using? Do you ever approach bottom out? The shock especially seems crazy stiff 😮
Oh I absolutely use all the travel at times, bigger drops and taps (hitting the front wheel to boost up the face of a rock) tend to be the biggest impacts
Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Just 5mm sag is so little for me, coming from a trails background, and not a trials one.
By the way, you mentioned wanting a slightly higher gear ratio, and wanting shorter cranks. Shorter cranks have an impact on the perceived gear ratio (you have less leverage, so the gear ratio feels harder). Maybe going down to 165's or 170's could be the ticket. 30 to 28 is a ~7% difference. 175 to 170 is a ~3% change
@@SidneyDurant yes good shout on the crank lengths, that might just do the trick 👍🏻
iDK why, but I always chuckle about the time Ali C was Ali G! LOL
RUH SPECK!! 🙂
Where you just a guest at Hardline or were you planning any riding? Maybe up the course instead of down!!
Just a guest, I’d be injured pretty quickly if I attempted to ride it 😐
@@Ali_Clarkson I'd love to see you do a bottom to top at rampage especially as there you could make your own lines etc might take you a while though
@@eartharrow6772 I think I’m a bit old to ever realistically send anything close to Rampage stuff 🥲
@@Ali_Clarkson yeah same maybe one day someone will
@@eartharrow6772 just noticed you said bottom to top, I appreciate your confidence in my climbing ability 😂😂
What frame size is that?
It’s a medium 👍🏻
Hey Ali, i think your rear tire is mounted in the wrong direction, isnt it? I think the orange stripe has top be on the left side...
The rear tyre is uni-directional so it doesn’t really matter but I think I matched it to the front tyre which is fitted correctly
Actually just checked and you’re right! It doesn’t match the front. Like I said it doesn’t really matter but well spotted 👍🏻
What exactly is jibbing compared to trials?
So I mainly do trials but jibbing also includes playful riding and tricks, like the 50to01 guys do…it’s using bikes to play rather than going on traditional rides
What is jibbing?
It’s a term used in snow sports where you just play about doing little tricks and generally having a laugh
@@Ali_Clarkson we need more of that in mtb these days
Ali looks so weird in a non-BMX helmet.
Blows my mind how you can make a full suspension bike move around like that. I'll have to try that setup for jibbing. Great video Ali!
