[@DandyHippo]

Great bikes. Have a great end of the season fam

[@greg_callaghan]

Thanks fam

[@kurtrichardson5060]

Great to hear your thoughts on this bike, I'm deciding between hd6 and ripmo for next bike myself

[@darrelldolan_mtb6407]

Both are insane I'd love HD6

[@claritean]

Good overview. Keep it up

[@Wipfn]

First thing first - that HD6 looks more elegant without the fat down tube.

[@tobinpint9775]

Hey Greg, did under forking the HD6 make the bikes geometry any different? Noticeable at all?

[@evanblackwell3920]

Curious about why you went for the 170 fork on the HD6 instead of the 180. I’ve been running the stock 180 fork on mine and loving it - feels like an little extra cushion with no downside!

[@greg_callaghan]

Main reason being it’s what I’ve always had so it was familiar. Keen to try the 180 when I get a chance after the season.

[@marktheshark2000]

Class!

pinkbike market about to be flooded with Ripmos

[@travelthenarrowtrail8660]

Does the Vivid HSR nob hit the clevis linage? @01:09 It looks like it does. I'm considering that shock on the rear for my v3 Ripmo. It does look like you can't remove it though to adjust the HSC/HBO.

[@greg_callaghan]

It’s close but it doesn’t actually contact the clevis. The HSR knob also pops out so if you’re worried you can easily remove it.

[@centroelettricitaspinea3422]

This Ripmo can be my perfect sostitute to my Pivot Firebird 29' my2020! DW-LINK GANG, storage compartment and water bottle compatible.
148x12 it's also very nice! easier to find a wheel set pre-assembled

[@greg_callaghan]

It ticks a lot of boxes!

[@johndevine2469]

Greg doesn't use much drop on his dropper post

[@greg_callaghan]

It’s only sitting halfway up there, I run 200mm

[@user-cl9ld4fk8t]

why that short droppers?

[@Simon-gk9ug]

Same, thinking that also :)

[@greg_callaghan]

It’s actually a 200mm, just have them sitting at half mast

[@daleremsberg3586]

How tall are you? I”m 6 foot and always felt slightly cramped on my V2s large! Just ordered the V3 large. Thoughts?

[@greg_callaghan]

I’m about 5’11”/6ft and feel like I could ride either an XM or Large depending on preference, so you should be good 👍

[@Mmtwgr]

Ok… please… can someone please tell me why I needed chain lube on the trail?

[@greg_callaghan]

When you’re out for hours riding rough trails the chain can get dried out. So it’s good to top it up.

[@no-hope-in-the-pope]

so yeah

[@greg_callaghan]

New Ripmo vs new stumpjumper 15

[@kingflynxi9420]

Ripmo takes it due to actual cable routing lol
