I'm 55 years old and must say, you young man have inspired me. I love your other channel, and so far i can say this one is off to a good start. I hope you have the energy to keep all your channels going. lol Keep up your good work.
Thanks for the new channel. I love it. I am a big mountain biker. I have just installed a RTT on a low profile Cali Raised bed rack.... and would love to see how I can mount my bike on with the RTT mounted and bed rack without a diamond back. I was thinking trailer hitch bike rack mount, but it would look way cooler if I could mount to the side of truck instead! Can't wait for this to come out! Happy trails should be your new sign off!
LITERALLY EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED Building my own bed rack fork mount system, also have a bed tent, and tryna mount my mtb. Couldn't have found a better video, thanks for the info and close ups of how you mounted your bike! Subbed for sure my guy keep it grinding!!
I’ve been following you from day one I had a holster made from you back in 2018 I just started getting into mountain biking myself love the content keep up the work
You should definitely consider it! In the past, the climbing always caused us to lose motivation to ride consistently (especially here in CO). But with an emtb it really makes the entire ride super enjoyable.
Definitely stoked for your new channel. In the last few years I've gotten back into mountain biking after exclusively riding mountain unicycle for about ten years. Wow, I forgot how fun it was to go fast and coast and have suspension. Anyway, excited to see all your two wheeled adventures.
Excited about your MTB channel. Learning about it today as I finally subscribed to LLOD. Appreciate your work there and what you have in store for this channel. Just picked up an F250 today so I'm stoked about the timing of your Tremor build. With wife, two dogs, two kids and bikes we're looking for ideas!!
I’m literally trying to mirror your setup on my 19 ranger. Diamondback ✅ , the front runner rack is on back order and holding off from the rooftop tent until the racks are back in stock! Keep up the great work!
Hey fellas, I commented on you Floyd Hill vid, and then subscribed to check your channel out. I’m an eMTB’er out of Parker, CO. One of my buddies rode Curt Gowdy with me and decided the next day to buy a used Haibike caused he loved it so much. The 2 of us are always looking to find some cool dudes with ebikes to ride with. Perhaps you guys can think about posting where you’re riding before you go out so a couple of us could join in perhaps. We’re a bit older than you (both in our 50’s), but we can get up and down pretty good and always bring beers for the post ride. Hope to see you guys down the line!
This is sick! You definitely answered my questions about your mount setup I have a diamond back cover without a rack so I’ll probably be rockin just my bike mounted to the cover centered
Those are some rad bikes!!! I've done very similar upgrades to mine. Factory 36 and an oval chainring forsure 🤟... looking forward to seeing more MTB content!
@@mtbco8327 swapped out the fox 34 on my Intense Primer with a 36... Also threw an oval on chainring as well.. both were amazing upgrades. I would also love to get an EMTB... Bummer seems like they're all sold out... And don't worry about any haters... Ride what makes you happy 😊
@@robgrif7589 Yeah the availability of most bikes is pretty limited right now. Hopefully the 2021s start hitting shelves in the next couple months though! That's exactly our thoughts, we're into biking for the fun of it, and for us an EMTB makes it more enjoyable. You have your eye on any specific EMTB?
You and a good friend of mine have convinced me to pull the trigger on a nice bike, so I bought one today. It's an XL, so it's a little cumbersome to transport it. I bought the tailgate blanket and use an extra strap to keep it from moving around, but I'm looking forward to see any other potential solutions you have. Especially ones that don't involve a bed cover, because that's a big expense that is pretty low on my priority list right now. Otherwise, I'm stoked to get back into mountain biking, and I'm glad that somebody I already watch is starting a channel on the topic at literally the same time.
Buy a fork mount, and screw it into a 2x. Cut the 2x to fit snug next to the tailgate and in between those rear pillars. If you cut it tight enough, it won't go anywhere. You'll spend about $30 total.
Pretty cool. I’ve always wanted to get into mountain biking. Have had some cheap ones in the past and really enjoyed it... when I tried it. Definitely something interesting
Channel concept sounds cool......see ya out on the B.C. trails ! Some close tolerances on that back wheel mount. As good as quick fists are, not sure I'd chance it on washboard back roads. In my head I still see them possibly coming undone. But still good food for thought.
Glad you're starting a MTB channel. I enjoy your overland content but I'm more into MTB. Everything you listed as far as what to put into this channel would be great. Gear reviews, rides, trail reviews from your area, etc. I love both of your bikes, all that Kashima is blinding! You mentioned on your other vid that your dropper was broken, if you're considering a new one look at the PNW bachelor. I grabbed one early summer when my horrible Reverb finally died and it's the best dropper I've ever used. The Loam lever from PNW is a perfecxt match.
Seems like you could mount a rail possibility a square tube on the t-track that would stick out on one or both ends past the tent and mount a bike rack to that.
I'm just getting into mountain biking so your giving me good ideas. I've been thinking about getting a tow-hitch bike rack or just mounting it to my Tonneau cover too, i just dont like constantly removing the front tire, thanks for the ideas and I look forward to your MTB Co channel.
Subscribed, can't wait to see your downhill runs. I'm going with the KB Voodu Rack with MTB side.mounts. Colorado rocks for ski trails, now if you make it out to AZ check out a sick MTB 6 Mile downhill run in Globe AZ.
I would like to see you wiping out. J/K. Show 3 budget levels (I, e, . poor, comfortable, rich) into how people can get started in such an expensive sport. Especially with families.
Been following your other channel for years and started getting into the overland life recently but I’ve been an avid Mtn biker for years. Seems like we have a lot in common. Looking forward to your new channel. If you ever come to Utah hit me up and maybe we can do a ride together. Good luck on the new channel. Subbed (to both channels).
Hey man thanks for the video we're you able to get a better mounting set up for your tacoma? I like this one but I know I won't be careful enough lol..
I'm an avid. Overlander and take my mountain bike with me always. Question is there a way to make a holder for my protection on the bike? Figure sence you're building for conceal Carry maybe come up with frame mount. It's not cumphy on my leg or waist riding and not fast enough in the backpack. Glad to see you going all out with bikes,and overland together.
Have you seen the KB Voodu Rack mounted on the Diamondback HD cover? I need the side mounts for the regular full suspension and fat tire. Winter rides on my fat tire are so much more fun.
Skills as you learn them. What are some of the things you wish you'd known or considered about the skill that might have helped? Your backyard trail is awesome. Came over from LLOD.
Excellent idea! As we're both basically beginners (since being out of the riding game so long), so we'll have a lot to learn as we're getting back into it.
One thing i think would be nice to see is, simular to your overlanding on a budget video on your llod channel but for bikes. Maybe take 500$ and build the best bike you can, show some simple and cheap mods. I use to MT bike a fair bit bsck in the day on a cheap bike and loved it! Im starting to get interested in starting up again but unfortunately cant drop thousands of dollars on a bike. Another good idea idea would be a gear video about what you take with you MTBing and how that fits into your EDC and preparedness mindset.
Great suggestions! Have you been looking for used bikes? I've bought a few bikes off craigslist in the past, and If you're patient you can usually find a pretty decent deal. Though right now it seems like everyone wants to get into biking so the prices are pretty inflated.
We'll be exploring a handful of the Colorado front range trails this season. Would definitely like to venture out west in the coming seasons though. Any trails in particular you'd recommend or would like to see?
Lemme know if y’all wanna collaborate on any fun stuff. Been doing some above tree line fatbiking stuff recently. Also starting to build up my Tacoma bike hauler🤙🏻
MTB CO Recently have been pushing to do more “epic” above tree line type riding to test the bike (and myself). I live in Longmont so generally the corridor from Lyons to Golden.
MTB CO Oh that’s tough to say. Locally the system in Lyons is a good one. Apex in Golden is good too. Recently really been liking the high elevation stuff though and have done some vids on those. I want to get up into RMNP and ride Old Fall River Road. How about you?? Are you doing the ebike like Mike??
@@ElevationEveryWeekend We've heard good things about Apex and will probably check that out soon. We haven't ridden a whole lot of CO trails since just getting back into it, but so far we've enjoyed Green Mountain (if it's not too hot), Staunton state park, and Meyers Ranch. Yeah, we both have ebikes along with a few other buddies. Currently, I have a lower end hard tail ebike, but have a FS mid-drive on order.
I'm 55 years old and must say, you young man have inspired me. I love your other channel, and so far i can say this one is off to a good start. I hope you have the energy to keep all your channels going. lol Keep up your good work.
Much appreciated!
Great job, it is great to see you do different things. Firearms, overlanding, survival, camping are all great topics. Keep up the great work.
Appreciate it!
The combo of the 2 channels are really where I am going with my brain so going to absorb ideas.
Thanks for the new channel. I love it. I am a big mountain biker. I have just installed a RTT on a low profile Cali Raised bed rack.... and would love to see how I can mount my bike on with the RTT mounted and bed rack without a diamond back.

A bad day on the trail is always better than a great day at work...MTB or offroad!
Agreed!

I am so glad you made this channel. Thanks Mike, you rock

Glad you were convinced! What did you pick up?
Stoked. Well Spoked. Easy to listen voice cadence. Not an over inflated ego.
Nice setup. Did the newer bike mount come out yet? Would love to see that.
Used to be into mountain biking.. but I’ll sub just cuz I’m subd to your other channels
Pretty cool. I’ve always wanted to get into mountain biking. Have had some cheap ones in the past and really enjoyed it... when I tried it. Definitely something interesting
Let’s see more of those sweet jumps. 🤘🏼
We'll keep em coming!
Definitely interested to see the update on your new system!

Awesome to hear and thanks for the dropper suggestion, I'll check that one out. What bike are you riding with that dropper?
@@mtbco8327 I'm on an Intense Recluse 27.5 it's all internally routed but they make both types. It's a great company.
@@tmerrick24 that is a sick bike! Their ebike line looks really nice as well. Where do you do most of your riding?
Seems like you could mount a rail possibility a square tube on the t-track that would stick out on one or both ends past the tent and mount a bike rack to that.

Yeah, a little more time consuming than just throwing the bike in the bed, which what I usually do for close rides. What bike are you starting on?

Pretty good temporary set up rack on the Diamond Back.
Did your buddy ever finish the bike mount?
LLOD subscriber checking out MTB CO. so far i like it! Looking forward to some trail footage and maybe gear maintenance videos??
Absolutely! We should have a new video with trail footage coming in the near future, so keep an eye out!
More info on ebikes. Trails your allowed to ride on them etc.
Thanks
For the new mounting testing, see if they can make a rack where you don't have to take off the front wheel.

What rims are those on the truck?
Gotchu bro
You need a pump track with the middle great work out and fun
Not a bad idea...gotta get some buddies over with some shovels!
yeah! 💪
Shocks. Pegs. Lucky.
Would like to see some bike reviews comparison, price, budget, gears etc.
Which bike are great for MTB..mainly not 6000 bikes.
Yo preferably pure MTB stuffs don't mixed up others topic!
cool video 🙃
Too Cool
Stoked bro
Cool
I'm late to the party. Shred on!!!
Damn, is that a bike mount or a puzzle?
BTW, if your prototype guy wants to do something with fatbikes in mind lemme know. I might be interested in that concept.
Budget bikes or mid-range bikes for beginners.
Great idea! We'll definitely try and make some content along those lines.
I would like to see different trail riding of the Western United States 🚵🏻♂️
