For mountain biking, a hardtail (only front suspension) is pretty good for most rides and always cheaper, but a full sus (rear and front suspension) is useful if you’re doing more advanced technical riding, also a lot of nicer suspension has lockout function specifically for climbing to prevent energy loss
Speaking from over 10 years of mountain biking, racing, XC and downhill, rear suspension makes a massive difference and is worth every penny. I had hardtail bikes for a long time and finally forked over the money for an enduro bike with a rear coil shock and 170mm on the front fork, it really makes a huge difference. With rear suspension and a good front fork you can take TONS more speed into terrain that previously seemed sketchy and handle jumps and drop to fairly flat landings with no problems. There are different rear shocks for different things, it sounds like Niko is looking for something smaller and stiffer in the rear if he won't be hitting huge jumps and extremely technical terrain at high speed. You can also hit switches or knobs on nicer rear shocks to tighten them for hill climbs. Bikes are expensive, but if you get a nice frame and decent suspension to start, it will last a long time (assuming it is taken care of properly). Most other components are fairly cheap and easy to replace yourself. Just remember to get your suspension serviced! Happy riding! (PS: Use PinkBike, great resource)
Wren can I say you sharing your story and experinces with pain. i suffer from alot of the same exact stuff wren is talking about and it can be very debilatating. i use massage ball and theregun and have literally every symptom he mentioned. so its really comforting to know you also experinces this stuff and are able to adapt and live a healhty life! thanks wren!
You should contact Condors for a test ride of their new “Metacycle”. It’s a electric motorbike. Would love to know what you guys think as I’m thinking to grab one for myself.
Here from Asia. Motorcycles, bikes, etc. all go between lanes here mostly because bike, motorcycle lanes are just on major roads. They would even go up the sidewalks when traffic is dense. The street is literally dangerous for everyone.
Wren, for your knots ... Use your massage stick, by applying a gentle pressure to the belly of the levator muscle, located in the superior angle of your scapula, constantly, for about two minutes. You should feel the muscle giving, when your brain sends the signal, "hey, there's too much pressure here." Follow this simple relief technique, by drinking a glass of water, to drain the toxins, which you've just released, by softening the knots. Hope that helps!
For Wren at the 19:00 topic. Look into "deer horns" or "deer whistles", they were used in the country when I was a kid (almost 3 decades ago) so idk if it even is manufactured in 2021 or if it would work for the purpose of alerting cars but it would give you the ability to have your bike make a noise.
Ha love the repair segment. My OneWheel just took a dump on me yesterday - I have to replace the 6 directFET chips responsible for powering the motor. But I got almost 4000 without any issues!
I'm an engineer that has worked in the design and fabrication of various class 3 medical devices and the risk analysis for the device design, process and user use is usually calculated on the severity of the clinical effect, the probability of it occurring, and the probably of it being detected and prevented before it happens. It's often the most tedious part of the design and process development process because you just spend weeks asking the question "what if". What if your supplier sends us the wrong material, and it's not biocompatible and we use it in the device, well, the user gets infected, doesn't die, but we have a lot of checks to make sure this doesn't happen. Very low risk. What if the operator makes a critical error during the manufacturing process? Device doesn't function properly, user dies, and we don't have many checks to make sure this doesn't happen. Very high risk, we need to perform risk mitigation steps now.
When Niko asked what ossify means, I was like "C'mon Niko, it sounds pretty obvious". But actually sounds obvious just to me, because my first language is portuguese, and the portuguese translation for bone is osso.
For Niko's question: They have rear suspension on mountain bikes that can "lock" the hydraulic system so that it becomes a hard tail. Makes it easier to climb. Otherwise mountain biking without a rear suspension is not great.
Took a jump, was gonna do some weird handlebar turn trick but only turned it 90° and did nothing else, landed and flipped over the bar with the whole bike following me and slamming the handle into my chest... Didn't go to hospital.
Niko, to answer your question about rear suspension on a mountain bike vs a hardtail, it's a decent amount of difference, especially when moving quickly. If you're going down a trail going quickly a good rear suspension can make a bunch of small bumps feel significantly smoother and give you a lot more confidence to keep the bike in control. At lower speeds I feel the difference is generally less significant unless you're riding some really gnarly technical sections. I think your best bet is to just try it yourself, rent a full suspension bike on saturday, then a hardtail on sunday, take them to the same trail and give it a shot. Enjoy the process, good luck.
Ik this podcast is kinda old at this point, but I’d recommend getting front suspension and seat suspension. Rear suspension on a bike isn’t as effective as people think in my opinion
My father had a hobby of winding slot car motors by hand. His car would always be the fastest on the track, but would only last one or two races before burning out.
Rear suspension is amazing in rock gardens on MTB trails anywhere else it's overkill honestly a nice tall tire wall with a low psi in the tyres is more than enough suspension for everyday riding
54:40 I'm listening to this on my PC with speakers, in the other room tweaking my printer.. and suddenly I hear my country, lol :p Also Niko (and anyone else wondering about bikes), rear suspension have to be pretty stiff in order not to lose a lot of energy output by you / a motor, since if it's very soft, the bike bounces up and down a lot which wastes energy. A better (and much cheaper) alternative in terms of comfort, might be to get a seat-post with suspension built in.
Wren, I would have gone with pushing someone on a swing, over pushing on a capstan. But it still works. As an aside to cool things from the past is the ghile-tine channel returning? I want to see things get chopped.
If someone's looking for a really cool electric bike, Vintage Electric Bikes does some really cool stuff in Santa Clara. Prices are high too though, starts at like $4k, I think, but they look aaaaamazing.
That's how the doctor re-set my arm after i fractured it, just came in, bopped it across his knee twice said "looks good" and set about casting it. Most nauseating feeling ever.
I can appreciate the urge for more EV's, personal/commuter/public, at the same time, there needs to be a better solution for the battery. If Wren could do a video on lithium and cobalt mining, the current controversies that NEED resolved there, and what better long term battery solutions are in the works, I think it would be pretty eye opening for everyone.
Lol "uno equi" xD. Just so you know Jake, it's always "equis", singular or plural. Still really fun to hear you guys speak my native language, so please keep going if you can.
I remember when I was in Kindergarten I was out for recess and it was time to go back inside. I was playing with a Little Tikes wagon and instead of putting it away normally I decided to stand in it and surf it down the hill which at the bottom of it was a fence and I smashed my face right into the metal pole in the fence and busted my head open. I think everyone has a childhood injury story lmao.
Ey bro rear suspension will still steal energy from a motorized bicycle over uneven terrain. I hear you guys like taking your electric vehicles up small mountains; you will definitely notice a jerk and wobble from the motor when hitting bumps and landing jumps.
You should see the electric scooters (proper scooters not these little ones for hire). They like to drive them without lights on even at night ON the pedestrian walkways… You can’t hear them and you can’t see them either!!
I honestly think the "YX-ONE" is the Personal Electric Mobility platform that the Corridor Crew would get excited about: yx-one.com/ th-cam.com/channels/Tj2Rt29Ve8aelK9v24jQew.html th-cam.com/video/NaHnm8PxSoA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/1Vuh2t9ytUg/w-d-xo.html It offers range, power, off-road capability, and a unique riding experience that you'll would love. I'm sure if you contact the creator, eventually he'll be able to bring the "YX-ONE" over and have you guys personally try it before it hits mass production.

I live on one of those mountains :D It's cool seeing places I go regularly in some of your videos.

Rear suspension is amazing in rock gardens on MTB trails anywhere else it's overkill honestly a nice tall tire wall with a low psi in the tyres is more than enough suspension for everyday riding
Down hill makes a huge difference with a full suspension mtb
you guys should try downhill mountain biking, its super rad.
The only thing with the near-by mountains are that they always seem to be a blaze... Literally bruning 😅
I laugh at your LA "mountains" being a Colorado native.
Ha I did too
And they also talk about their mountains the same way Coloradans do...interesting.
Same here as a Utah native. LA mountains are glorified hills in comparison.
Niko: "Everything should have the brake pedal built into the accelerator"
Engine Braking: "Am I a joke to you"
With the level of Wren's friends.. I keep thinking he's an OP engineer if he didn't do all the Vfx
