You neglected to mention that one pedal has a left handed thread. This will be something that might not be known by the type of person who will follow this set up.
I got my first enduro bike 2 weeks ago! It's a propain tyee al! So cool to see you guys ride the same bikes as me! That makes me feel that I made the right choice haha!
Nice to see Propain actual protect the frame. Bought a Canyon Neuron on and they just left the battery loose, scratched up the plastic cover and chipped the paint on the forks and frame down to bare aluminum. Best they could do was a £50 on-line store voucher on a 4.5k bike, awful customer serviceand no apologies. Never will I own a Canyon again!
I haven't bought a bike direct. So I haven't had to do this yet. I have however changed parts. My 2021 Orbea Laufey has bee massively upgraded. I have some new forks to fit. My Orbea Rallon which I've only had 3 weeks. I haven't changed anything yet I have bought a new pair ofwheels and a rear tyre. So I can run a full 29er. I will be having the rear shock tuned soon. Maybe the forks at the same time. Mainly because I'm heavier the Blake and have a completely different riding style.
#askgmbn tech question... what are some of the problems with over forking your bike? example: I recently replaced my 160 mil fork with a 170 mil. In the process, I replaced the head tube cup with one that decreased the HT angle, so the resulting HT angle remains virtually unchanged (around 64.5 degrees. Other than changing my ST angle slightly and raising my bb (which BTW I lowered with the flip chip), I really don't see the downside, structurally speaking. What am I missing? Love the show, Thanks in advance.
As long as bike frame manufacturer says fine on it, if go above what they say you risk structure damage frame over time faster than normal, main other thing is maybe more stable at higher speed as wheelbase is longer and bit less nimble
#askgmbn I have a propain spindrift 2021 and the front chain ring makes the rest of the gears grind (like they aren't lined up) took it to multiple bike shops but nobody seems to beable to fix this. Propain don't seem to know either... It came with sram gx group set and I also put on a 1st gen GX AXS. It seems like the front chain ring is way too far out bound but there isn't room to put it further in towards the bike... Any ideas? It only grinds the chain is on the top half of the cassette in the easier gears.
From the video I can see that this bike has a defect, you might want to take it up with Propain - seems that cable routing holes are missing from the frame!
Idk if that’s a joke or you’re serious. But if you’re serious that’s because the routing goes through the headset on the carbon version. Not a fan but it is what it is.
I seriously find this to be design flaw. I know there is headset routing, but I ins it a horrible trend, so figured might as well voice my opinion about it. Unlikely to change anything, but if no one speaks up it would mean "acceptance" of that proprietary routing bs
@@plainuser48596 I agree, you should see how bad it frays the outer cable sleeves after a couple months of use. I have a Propain Hugene and I love the fact it doesn’t have that stupid headset cable routing
#askgmbn There is any shop or site where i can find an orbea wild e bike frame ? i wanna built a dream enduro e bike based on that frame. please help !
If you bought it from them, they might well do it for that price, but if you bought direct to consumer [as this video suggests] I suspect a bike shop is going to charge a LOT more than $20 to assemble and set-up a random bike...
Plus it's an excellent way to actually get to know your new bike, and how bikes go together in general - so you can maintain and swap parts in future without the additional cost and workshop schedule of a typical bike shop... not that you shouldn't also support your local bike shop of course.
What was your latest new bike? When did you last buy a new bike? Please share in the comments below! 👇
Got a specialized status 140 earlier on in the year. It’s my wanna be Dh bike.
Commencal Meta HT.
November last year.
I just got a trek fuel ex 5 for a massive £1000 off straight from the bike shop
Propain Tyee 6 CF
Santa cruz bullit cc, it was delivered fully assembeled.

Love seeing all the coverage Propain has been getting lately
Great video Owen 🤙🏼

This video is amazingly helpful because i bought a propain tyee 6 and it also has the axs dropper and gx transmission

That Mindfulness course really paid off.

That hair is the main focus in this video.

You for got the extra bits you get in a box i got a new bike last month never had a proper mtb before so don't know what thay are haha can you help
Sometimes you get spare headset pieces, mech hangers, or another yoke to convert from 27.5 to 29 vice verse. What does it look like you’ve got?
Perhaps tell also not to clamp the dropper post where you did it, as my bike mech would say 😅
06:50 lies! Even electrician say they can know torque by hand but often do below or way over and they say their calibrated to do so

If your bike comes with a dork disc installed: put on some gloves and break it off while flipping it the bird.
This guy is intolerable.
or just pay your bike shop 20 bucks to do it
Or just watch the video?
did that.@@Justkeepshredding
