[@SpencerBaum]

He really sounds like he actually likes the bike and is super happy with what's on it and isn't just riding it because he's sponsored like a lot of other riders.

[@robmooremtb]

Eddy is one of my favourite Riders. Top bloke.

[@Powerhugful]

Didn't know Johnny Sins raced downhill.

[@madeiradriftin4429]

thats Jason Statham!

[@edwin7150]

[@nmelol]

Johnny is man of many talents. He tried a lot of professions in his life including being a doctor.

[@topspot4834]

Doctor, fireman, teacher, downhill mountain biker ...

[@davidmanuel5394]

Eddie is a legend, so down to earth, loves the fun, rides like a demon!

[@timmyfranks4087]

[@justinsiever710]

[@sam_d4032]

[@barrydunne78]

So cool he has time to race bikes with all the filming for fast and furious haha

[@MagnusThornberg]

He seems to be a really nice guy.

[@florianklein2206]

[@netposerx]

Ed is a speedster and they way he looks at Bernard Kerr is so adorable.

[@damonvanopdorp2905]

Vivid! Classic kiwi! (Vivid = Sharpie = marker pen)

[@CK-sm1gq]

What kind of mudguard is that?

[@AhmadVvlogs4]

Nice

[@stugillis]

No seal hub! 🤔

[@nicocovello8503]

What does he mean by no seal?

[@BGraves]

He just said they took them off. Probably swapped grease for light oil and put them back on

[@th_js]

@@BGraves Look, it's Bear Grylls

[@joseefc2509]

hi pinkbike

[@albertoflora5402]

top de mais

[@Simon-Simon-Simon]

funny how many love rethnal
i sit on a bike in the store or demo a bike and hate sweep or how other brands feel - rethnal perfect

[@nmelol]

Wanna try renthals bars. Dunno if I should go for 30mm rise or stay with 20.

[@Simon-Simon-Simon]

@@nmelol
dunno - you can always lift 10mm on headset but can't drop
do some research what other riders are using
and how step runs are

[@Guythatishere]

First comment 🤙🏻

[@dillydean]

Proves you don't have to be super anal about set up hey. It's all person and if you fast you fast and you just keep riding to get faster! No fancy magic clicks or grips. Just set it and forget it

[@amnahamin492]

🤟🤩😍

[@nami08041988]

Nice looking bike but poor quality control or poor transport.Rear wheel has major issues right out of the box. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Rear axle is bent! Derailleur is misaligned.Since the rear wheel comes assembled I would have expected better.Assembly instructions poorly written, but that was not unexpected...just annoying.I just had the bike checked at a shop and was told that I should contact the seller about getting a whole rear wheel assembly with cartridge. (The bike shop could not do anything to help me).Not a good experience with this bike, so lesson learned.Added 3 stars for excellent customer serviceUpdate Sept 8 2020Just received a complete replacement wheel for free. Great service and an otherwise fine bike.

[@ailona]

shake hands you weenie! haha

[@zafosinferno888]

Dude 8k for a bike, get the fuck out of here XD
