Sick run dude. I am just getting into the downhill riding at 53 years old and you can really learn just from watching experienced riders run a trail. awesome... worth a Sub. Cheers!!
@@LoamerMTB @LoamerMTB Thanks, I have gone old School to start and see if I am able to handle it, picked up a like new 2009 Norco Shore 2. Bike was never seen a mountain trail rode lightly in the badlands of southern Alberta Canada, 9 speed x2, all origional setup. The Kenda Tires still have the nubs on them.
That jumpline trail looks like SO MUCH FUN!! 🤘😆🤘Did you do your own brake swap? Other than the two clips on the frame behind the shock was everything internal easy to route? Thinking of doing the brake swap my Kenevo.🤙
I broke down and paid the shop to do it. I tried to drop the motor but it started to get too involved so I said screw it and let the shop deal with it. This bike sucks to wrench on 😂 Yeah some sick jump lines around here! Blessed with some talented and dedicated builders for sure. 🤘
I got XT everything on my new cube action team 160 the breaks are incredible have to agree with you there! How do the saint's fair to them in an upgrade, Bigger calipers or pistons or something? I want to mullet mine with My DH forks always ran DH forks on my bike's so feels abit weird looking with the fox 38s single crown just now first emtb to try one didn’t like it to begin with but 2nd 3rd ride love it cant go back to my old bike now! Was out Sunday on normal kona process was bored out my skull it was so slow 😂
Sorry nope. I have hated all the Sram brakes I’ve ridden so I refuse to spend big money to maybe like another product from them. The Saints have been money. Don’t know anything about the Lewis LHTs. I have TRPs on my DH bike and they are pretty nice but I’d prefer a bit of a stronger bite so might still prefer the saints there.
@@LoamerMTB Haha, the Mavens are seriously good. I've never used brakes before that i've had to order smaller rotors after using big ones. its just mental They are like saints on steroids
I’ll try to dial it back a bit 🫡😂. Also there’s a discord with some of the other guys who do YT locally. You should join it. I’ll see if Singletrack Sasquatch can drop you his email so he can send you a link.
Ok so apparently YT doesn’t like emails being posted in comments so if you want to join message Singletrack Sasquatch on Instagram and he can get you added. 🤘

Dude, solid riding! Those Saints sound like a win!
Thanks! Gotta get you back on this on a lighter bike.
Man what a gorgeous day!!
It was a beaut!
I haven’t had the nuts to hit that last drop on oriental 😮 nice shradding Paul!
Thanks John! You def have it! Hits smooth with a bit of momentum.
Man that look awesome.
Perfect conditions on some fun trails!

Not totally sure on the difference. Might be a bit of a stronger bite than the XTs.
How do saints stack up against Mavens or Lewis LHTs? any insight?

@@LoamerMTB Awesome thanks for the feedback!
now wait untill you try Mavens.
Only if I’m forced to with a complete build at some point 😂

Nice! I would probably like them then.
Just call it what it is. an Ebike.
Thanks for clearing that up for everyone 🫡
Hey stop boosting blue lines making us all look bad thanks
I second this... settle it down there Loamer, this isn't Rampage.
