The cat is finally out of the bag so I can show everyone this new rig that I have been keeping secret for the last year. Loose lips sink ships. You can call it a bike check, first look, bike build, whatever suits your fancy. The new Yeti SB140 29 is the every-man's trail bike of choice for basically anything and everything that you can throw at it. This is a replacement for 130LR, a bike which I have always loved. Subtle refinements and attention to detail have produced the next generation of trail bike bliss. People like to use the phrase "quiver killer" and I honestly don't subscribe to that theory, but this is as close as you are going to get to the mythical unicorn bike. I know you were hoping for a drink recipe, but this is just mezcal, bubbly water and a fresh lemon. I will leave the fancy things to my bike. Sometimes simple is better with cocktails.
Been missing me some Nate Hills bike builds… 👊 Go shred it!!! 🤘
It's been too long, ha
those new bike builds are the best.
hi, thanks, but I'm from the Czech Republic 🤙
not sure which is more entertaining - watching Nate follow rowdy lines or watching him drink mezcal out of a tire. Also, 140 is def on my christmas list now
Finally blessed us with another full bike build!! Always a fun watch
Glad you enjoy it!
Just what we all were hoping for !! Never a dull moment ! Enjoy the new rig 🤘🏽😎
Stoked for it!
Great build dude. Hope you enjoy it.
only nate the great can make a bike build entertaining...
Yeti, please make more new bikes so Nate can make these kind of video gems 💎!🎉🎉
i've been grumpy all morning. this video flipped my mood. you're hilarious nate
Glad I could help with that amigo.
Best bike builds on the internet!
You never disappoint! I keep coming back for more build videos and Nate taking meat to the face! All jokes aside love builds as always! 🤘🤘
Nate, it's always a pleasure, we've missed your dry humor for far too long! Re ; bike builds thanks yeti for bringing out a new set of bikes so Nate can build new bike, have a cocktail or 3 have some chillies & tons dry humor FUN !! Great vid are we going to see you on E160 on a big adventure, that would be wicked 🤙👌🔥🔥🚵🏞️cheers Nate. 👍
Dryer than the desert.
Thank you yeti for making this bike check possible 😆🐐 NH
That tire sniff at 0:26 ... I felt that.
New tire day hits different.
Was literally just looking to see if you had any new builds, always entertaining to watch.
That's a one beef stick build for sure!
+1 for the mezcal sealant. Hasn't let me down yet!
Love the build video! We have been watching your follow cam Friday videos and it is interesting and cool to meet the man behind the bars!
Thanks for watching!
Rad build! I need one now. Time to replace the 130.
You will be stoked.
Some good stuff, thanks for sharing all your ideas and thoughts on why you run what you do. Can't wait to watch you try and break it, lol!
Thanks 👍
best build vids on the tube. that sealant must be the best.
Works every time ;)
Your bike builds are the shiznit! I love em’. Been watching follow cam Fridays for years. Keep it up!
Thanks for watching!
thanks Nate. love the tweaks YETI has made. looking forward to checking you out on the trails w this new bad boy. only missing the new build cocktail! Edit I guess I typed to soon. note finish video before commenting
Definitely slacking in my cocktail consumption in this one!
BROTHER, I have 500 utube subscriptions and among them all, your bike builds make me laugh the hardest and they brighten my day, even a week like nothing else! Your build videos are an absolutely sick works of art! 🤙🤙🤙🎉🎉🎉🌟🌟🌟
"30 psi in my minions, I don't care about your opinions" - My God, you're such a man of culture!!!
Thanks for watching brother, happy to brighten your day.
@@natehills9388 36t? Dang, my Spectral 2019 can only take 34 round and currently is with 32 oval. I have a spare 36t al7075 absoluteBlack made in Poland, hopefully, I'll use it in some future build. Also, that sausage going through the headtube, made me LMAO!
Hey, I'm also using my finger to set the brake lever. Always knew it's a very professional 🤘
That was an incredibly entertaining bike build! Cheers, mate! Such a gorgeous rig.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just wanted to come here to appreciate your DHF out back preference. So good.
If I could only use one tire, front and rear for the rest of my life, DHF takes the title.
@@natehills9388 is that even debatable? In any event, I agree.
Love it. First thing I thought about when the new Yetis landed was 'I hope Nate does a build video' Seems like the Yeti teams made some nice improvements over the old frames. Keep up the great work, follow cam Friday is a religion for me.
The engineers that have been working on this for the last two years absolutely crushed it. Props to those legends!
@@natehills9388 indeed, some really clever work getting the bearings into the link and improving the various axles with collet axles, not to mention the UDH and threaded BB. Should reduce the maintenance required which means more riding!
Morning Nate, Great demo on the SB 140 along with your fantastic sense of humor. Heading out to ride at Hawes this weekend. However, staying away from Sunset Ridge! Have a great weekend...blue skies here in AZ.
Enjoy Hawes!
Looks like another sweet ride Nate! Have a great time riding that bad boy!
Thanks!
"We're going to make the switch infinity link more stout and reliabile, but only on the Turq frames"
Goddammit Yeti, I would totally buy one of these if you would just let us get a decent spec on the "low-end" builds.
Its a really sweet bike, and I still want to try one....
It's just linkage brother. Keep is properly serviced at the recommended intervals, like everything else on your rig, and you will be sorted. Can be cleaned with tequila.
putting the fatty sausage through the headtube left me feeling all warm and tingly inside
Sausage insertion feels.
First 10 minutes I was worried there wasn't going to be a drink but soooo disappointed you didn't drop that $800 derailleur on the ground.
Should have been rougher with it, lol.
What a a beauty good job dude.❤💯🔥
needs more mezcal
Dhf in the rear! I sometimes slide out when tech climbing but that has more to do with user error.
First thing on my mind when there’s news of a new Yeti is Nate Hill’s tipsy bike build.
Great build vid! I'm definitely incorporating meat sticks in my bike builds, & fully condone the 10:00 am beverage choice (after drivetrain set up, of course). Enjoy the new rig!!
It's always noon somewhere...
I need a bag of popcorn for this viewing.
Always lube that bottle bracket….before insertion.
Sick bike, great vid, best bike build on the the tube. I tried a DHF on the rear on my slash (because I saw you run it!), but didn’t like it at all felt super draggy and I lost it multiple times In the corner if I even sneezed at the brakes! Back to the aggressor and Ass guy in front obvi is excellent I like the idea of running DD instead of inserts (which I’m doing now). Really appreciate hearing your thoughts on all the products as you build, super helpful to wanna be shreders like myself.
When I raced DH full time, I ran double DHF's for 8 years straight, haha. Ive literally burned through more than 100 in the last 20 years if riding bikes.
Always enjoy your bike build videos. They are quite entertaining and I learn stuff!
Awesome, thank you!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who uses channel-locks for DUB BBs! I keep thinking there’s no point buying the tool because I probably won’t ever fit one again and yet it keeps happening 😅
Any port in a storm.
10 AM? That wait made the cocktail just that much better.
It's noon somewhere.....
@@natehills9388 It's 8 AM somewhere too. Never too early to drink responsibly. I only drink and ride Maxxis too.
Where is the cocktail Nate, that's so much part of your builds, it's funny as hell. OK should have watched it a bit longer. And there it is. Love your work
Wow! Yeti!!
lol...great bike build come back!
Can’t say you’ve been drinking all day if you wait till noon 👍👍👍
Truer words have never been spoken!
Things dope. I’m digging that new purple color they dropped.
The Sangria is so sick!
@@natehills9388 I’m digging that new tequila color as well !!!
Bro, been sniffing rubber for two years waiting for a bike build! Now go smash that rig!
Working on it!
Awesome stuff Nate as always, I have missed your bike builds. Rig looks so sick can't wait for season 8. Also your slicking on the pepper game where are the super hots haha
That jalapeno was hotter than most of the habaneros I have been getting lately. Pepper roulette.
gorgeus rig !
Sick bike! Looking forward to seeing your review of the new SB140. Although I’m a Santa Cruz fanboy I think Yeti makes some of the most sexy bikes.
Hard to find a bad bike these days. What a time to be alive!
@@natehills9388 amen dude!
looking forward to hearing how the new geometry is, and of course waiting for SB 160
The geo is almost identical to 130LR. Definitely stoked for 160!
Been waiting on this one!🎉🎉
Just for you dog.
I suck at leaving comments but had to on this one... you make bike builds seem way more interesting and def love the cocktail on the tire...
But 36T chainring? 😂 Man of habit. I get it. Keep it up brotha 💯 🤙🏼
Smallest gearing I’ve run for 20 years, lol.
By far the best bike build YTD 👌🤙. I aspire to a 36t front chainring😂. Sidenote, pipe cutters are the easiest steerer tube and handlebars cutting mechanism I've found so far other than a sawzaw! No one else mentioned tire clearance, Bonus info
I prefer to use my dull hacksaw to get my interval training done ;) 36-52 is comically low gearing. What happened to the bike industry, lol
@@natehills9388 You were definitely getting Swoll using traditional methods 👊💯😂
Legend🤘 great tone on the fart👌
Garage acoustics.
Nate is the @apetor of bike builds
“I don’t have much more time in my life to run these”
LOL
Assuming your bottom bracket shell width is 73mm your BB requires the 4.5mm spacer for boost.
I watched the whole thing
Nate you make the best bike build videos! A great mix of random entertainment but with some knowledge bombs dropped in.
But we all want to know - when's the gin / tequila sponsorship gonna get sorted?
That would be the end of me, ha
Loved it
That beef stick fart was epic!
Delicious
Awesome Video. Good job and you me made laugh.
@natehills I think this is a scam.
I ordered mine today!!!
My man.
Love me some Nate Hills bike builds. Some of my favorite videos. Would you ever run a coil shock on this setup?
I do have a coil that I will likely try on here at some point.
Was there a duck in the garage at 10 min 58 seconds? Good to see the bike build and the crazy rides you do. Cheers.
Barking spider.
@@natehills9388 🕷Monster of a barking spider!!
Sick build. My SB130 is getting to be a couple years old and while I’d love to upgrade to the 140….it’s been such a great bike I don’t think I’m ready to part ways with her yet! I’ve ridden her hard and put her up wet a bunch and she continues to deliver. 😂😂
Ride it till the wheels fall off!
Great bike!!!!
Gonna have to get that chainstay protector for my 130LR to shut it up
I can't help but notice the jalapeno disappeared after you sat on the bike? 😂
Funny and fun to watch. Great editing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Small rotors are for Xc. Anything away from xc > 203 front and rear ! 🙏🏻
I was just taking a sip of my tea when you farted…😂 I managed to hold on to it.
Solid effort, haha
Very entertaining watching Nate's videos! His next career move should be Stand Up!...LOL.
He might get Canceled though! 🤣
I wonder what he thinks about Vittoria tires? I just put a 2.4 Mazza on my Ripmo rear. I feel like
it's a good compromise in terms of weight and traction. I will see how they hold up, but so far I'm impressed.
But I'm with you on Maxxis tires - I don't care about the weight either and get traction for days and great
durability!
I liked the Martello I tried a while back. I've been a Maxxis athlete for 10 years.
Awesome Frame bro!
Stoked to get some time on it!
DHF rear, Assegai front? Spicy!
By "spicy" I think you mean "normal", haha
Always a fun watch with your builds. Your past builds convinced me of lots of things on my bike builds; not weighing them, bash guards, big rotors, etc. How does the Charger 3 hold up to the 1st gen? Looking at a new Lyric for my next build.
The charger 3 feels great. More damping overall and a better adjustment range.
36 is cool and all but all the cool kids are running 42s!
DHF rear tire club represent! I see you also still really hate gloves 😂
Gloves and DHF's do not mix ;)
Been waiting for this one!!! Killer job man. Nerdy question.. have you ever tried the Dissector as a rear tire? Would be curious your opinion. Cheers dude 🍻
I am a fan of the Dissector. Ran one out back in a DH casing in the Whistler Bike Park a couple if years ago and was impressed. Great fast rolling tire for hardback with solid cornering knobs. Big fan.
"I used this wrench....and it worked"
Basically how I live my life.
Same team bro! ha
Hear that, everyone? Run a 36t chainring if you want to go Nate-speed [safety not guaranteed].
The shoey 😂. Nate it would be cool if you included a cocktail build as well. I’m still on the 130 is the lunch ride that much more noticeable?
The 160 fork makes the biggest difference.
Sweet steed!
Which wheel set are you running?
The slurring made it hard to comprende.😜
Thanks for the entertaining bike check.
Ha. Those are Zipp ThreeZeroMoto's
Pro MTB
Every video I've seen with Nate has him eating those weird sausages. I'm gonna have to try one. edit: just got to 10:57, nevermind
Strange sausages ftw.
@@natehills9388 ftw = for the wind?
Maybe I missed it, but I did enjoy the whole vid, what size frame? And how tall are ya Nate dogg
I ride a medium with a 40mm stem. I'm 5'9"
@@natehills9388 appreciate the reply!
Really curious how you feel about that super deluxe compared with the float x? (Disclaimer love the new lyrik so thinking about getting the SD to pair)
I haven't ridden a Fox shock for more than 10 years.
Great video..what offset fork is that please?
My 160 Lyrik is 44 offset.
YES its nice bike build BUT where's' the Tequila holder ?? 🤒
Fail! ha
everything is fine except the brakes, bills of exchange suck (here from me when they buy a new bike with Rock Shox brakes they replace them immediately even before picking up the bike from the shopkeeper)
I wish RockShox made brakes.....
When you drink tequila out of a minion, does it taste like Mezcal?
It tastes like Minion mostly.
Is that better than tasting like ASSEGAI?😳😂
Did you have any issues feeding the internal cabling for the dropper post? My cable outer is resolutely stuck
Wireless guy here.
I run 36t as well:)
Is the rear stroke still 210x55?
Same team bro! Yup, 210x55 on new 140.
You were the main reason I bought my SB130 LR. Do you think it is worth getting the SB140? I've been thinking of just getting a carbon wheelset for my 130 instead of a new bike.
Glad to hear that friend. Honestly, the geo is essentially the same. If you want a more refined ride, get the new 140. I would guess your dollar would go farther with some bling wheels though.
@@natehills9388 Mucho appreciation for the input. Absolutely love my bike and definitely going to treat myself to new wheels.
@@MSduckhunter That's what I did..I'm on an 2019 sb130 that I converted to LR ..Stoked on these new yetis as they make me realize the old ones are still nearly as good....No need for new bike day.
@@flow2tech Yeah man that is what I was thinking. Buys me hopefully another 3-4 years of the same bike.
@@MSduckhunter easily! I think the industry is slowing down personally in regards to geo ..It's more about refinement now..
Nate, I am a fairly aggressive rider, albeit not quite where you are, from the Grand Junction area. I ride a lot and put in good miles. Since you are familiar with the terrain here, would you personally ride an SB120 or SB140 here as a primary bike? I am looking for GJ/Fruita area only assuming I have a separate bigger bike for park days.
You could honestly go either way, I guess it depends on your riding style. There is enough chunk to warrant a 140 but everything is relatively flat so 120 would also feel nice. I would choose 140 personally but that's just me. I haven't ridden 120 yet.
Sniffing, tasting, drinking everything. Were you a former chemistry teacher?!
Always know your product.
What's that exhaust in the background do?
It makes my WRX sound less annoying that what it's currently running, ha.
What is the width of the DHF is on rear? I can't find an Exo + in DHF only Exo. 🤔
2.5
