Nice creg I stretch the retaining spring legs out a fair ways each side on mine and makes it silent There’s also the Velcro and rubber band hack, but I’ve never tried it
@@PiazzaWoodWorks yeah I normally just run the non-finned ones but there are out of stock everywhere. Chocked it up with Velcro today and already seems heaps better
My Range is near silent. Trick is to get the dropper cable tucked in properly where your shock tunnel is. It should not move at all. Next very loud item are the 2 cables just where the top tube and seat tube meet. Put some Velcro tape there where the cable contacts the frame. Third is the left side cable plug at the headtube. The right side is soft rubber but left side is hard plastic. I wrapped the outside of it with black electrical tape and wedged it back in and now the bike is very silent.
Thanks for the tips! My cables all came with foam shielding which makes them pretty quite but I’ll check those points of the noise persists once I’ve tamed the pad rattle. At the time of recording I thought they were fine because I’d done the mastic tape trick but they still had plenty of play so I’ve given them another layer. Fingers crossed, and I’m glad there’s a silent one out there because Lew Buchanan’s is also noisy as heck 😂
It's not as good as the Sight for pedalling but it gets up and goes fine when you need it to. I found it pretty manageable at Bulli and it really ate up the downhill which is rough quite fast. Not sure I'd want to ride my Optic on that track, but it would be fun on the slower tracks.
Just a tip to keep your fork in the best condition possible, even though you only just got your bike, get a lower leg service in around a month because most fork manufacturers including fox, dont put enough oil in the stock components and they run out really fast (especially kashima). Hope this helps, have fun shredding love your videos!
Thanks very much! Good tip and also a good reminder to pull the air spring out and remove the excess grease as they always have a heap of it taking up space in the negative spring 👌
Sorry about the racket, it's those darned shimano finned brake pads. Will get it sorted, put on some music and enjoy some good trails 🤙
Nice creg

@@MTBMcPhee sweet ! Does that make em drag at all?
@@PiazzaWoodWorks not that I’ve noticed
Stoked to find a good channel showing trails closer to me. About to pull the trigger on buying a bike, so I can't wait to hit these places!
Good on you! Your spoilt for choice along the escarpment 💪
The Bike looked 😍
Can’t wait to ride these trails! Moving from the UK to the Wong in the December, bikes / gear are packed at the ready! 😁
Great spot to relocate to if you like surf, sun, and bikes 👌

Always a good time at Bulli. The new berms up top are lots of fun.
They’re a very nice addition!
What a great place, mate. Fantastic trails and cool stuff. You rocked the trail, rode great and sick jumps. It was fun to watch. Ride on and have fun
The trail fairies have been busy. Thanks 🙏
great video mate love to see these your heaps good at riding
Thanks man 🙌 I'm just trying to stay upright 😂
How do you compare this to the Sight? Is this a bike you would have as a one bike does all ?
Keep the videos coming I’m loving the review
Nooo I’d definitely have the Sight as my one bike. Definitely 😂
you've got a nice DH trail out there with so many sections to choose from.
Just getting back into riding, and your videos are always enjoyable. Did you have to shuttle these runs? Or is it a loop trial?
Thanks so much! You can shuttle but it’s an easy fire road climb back up. These were pedal laps
Make it look easy , nice riding man 😎
You mean Noah right? 😂
Flying on that last run!
hey man love the bike I was wondering can u get them frame only as I really want a range but the low spec version isnt great value.
Not that I’m aware of. I bought the c2 and sold off the whole build which made it pretty cost effective
@@MTBMcPhee i shot u a dm on instagram itll probs be in ur requests cuz im interested in doing a similar thing to u
haha, I saw Noah's call out on Insta if anyone was in the area.... was hoping he'd run into one of you Tuberz down there!
Hah what a dude to randomly run into! I had a helluva time 🤙
@@MTBMcPhee good stuff mate! Loving the range, they look sexy AF in person.
@@JEMTB90 it is an erotic machine 😂
Feed the beast! Husband and I very jealous of the range…. Both looking forward to your PB on cannonball
I keep thinking about that trail. Will have to organise a trip!
Ohhh yeahh!! Nice one👍
So sweet to see the range in action!! I’d love to rip my optic there! How’s it pedal? Seems like a lot of bike in those trails, does it feel that way?

Here in VT the optic works hard for its place in the stable 😂

It definitely punches above its weight. Probably my favourite bike ever!
Bulli = the best!
Accurate! I hadn't ridden it since before the last lockdown, so good!

Do you ride chin or chest mount
Chest mount 95% of the time
Looks like a sick spot… that Pinner races elite Dh in QLD 😂
Yeah, he goes alright! One look then send 😂
@@MTBMcPhee yeah I seen him hit some massive stuff lol.
What do you think of the polygon siskiu t7 as a first dual suspension?
Don’t know anything about poly’s sorry. Good luck deciding
