Guy on the norco range was waiting for this his whole life
so refreshing to hear someone who knows whats on there bike
@@domanater480 what’s refreshing about that?
If you build your bike of course you know what’s on it..
Why the o-chain on the high pivot/high idler bike?
I was waiting for the scoop on the O-chainring
“69 and 420”
th-cam.com/users/clipUgkxBmcatNZF5YISqyGAixYWWWHdjxx1lJo9
69psi and 420lb spring weight - perfection!
Nice.
lol
bros living the life
Nice.
That Transition Spire is PERFECT!
Not sure transition make a bad bike. 👍
I have one in the gx build and it is so epic, but my super deluxe is a lemon, has so many problems so probably just going to get an x2
Just needs more Sram parts. No hate on Shimano though.
@@levis.9408 im planing to buy new rear shock, so should I consider Super deluxe ultimate or Fox Float X.
Good amount said super deluxe is reliable bit also decent amount of people are complaining about that shock.
What kind of problems you have with shock?
@@bitumen83 it gushes oil and
Due to that the damper can malfunction quite quickly, and there’s no support at all, you fall right through the travel
Christina’s confidence making the dudes a bit nervous and stuttery here and there hahaha sameee
Hahah true
some folks are also just not used to being on camera ;)
I guessing that you are projecting your own trait to the dudes.
I feel like traveling across the country to the Shore with my bike just in the hope of being stopped by Christina/Pinkbike for one of these segments. Great video. 👍
Outstanding Daily Driver Series Christina and the whole Pinkbike Team. As an off-road rider for over 50 years, I love your fun, playful, low-key, easy style comprehensive coverage of the whole mountain bike scene. Thank you so much, take good care, and please keep up the great work! Gratefully, Dennis
To the man running a 69 and 420 spring... I salute you
No surprise that Transition is one of the most desirable bikes on the planet .
but when chris porter / geometron started making a very similar bike 7 years ago but built better everyone was against it?
my fav this episode
@@RCKING1 trek had a 69er mullet bike a long-ass time ago, the progressive tech doesn’t always catch on 🤷♂️
@@jcblebowski because they sucked lmao
@@RCKING1 you mean Nicolai developed and build the bike and a geometron sticker was slapped on for the UK market?
No hate on geometron, but one should definitely acknowledge german company Nicolai for developing and building those bikes!
That guy with the norco range has solved problems I didn’t know they even exist.
I wanna know all the stuff on his bike!
Love this series for the knowledgeable riders, the beautiful bikes and mostly how you Christina keep things rolling! 😀
I love any series you host. Keep up the great work!
Always excited to see more daily drivers vids!
I did enjoy watching this!
Cheers from Switzerland with my older SCOTT Genius LT 40 :)
Really want to see you guys make it out to Colorado. Super dry and would make a good comparison to the wet and sloppy North Shore
Like these so much I'm watching em a second time! Like the regular bikes over the pros ... Would be cool if you visited some the Northeast and different parks.
love these vids!
Yes - These series are awesome !
love it thanks
pumped everyone was riding assegai's, just ordered one!
that Quebecker dude at the end was having a full blown panic attack during the interview :)
front psi /bar x 1.15 = rear if they are the same width . A great starting point .
Hello from Melbourne Australia! Waiting for my spire to arrive!
Please PB This should be a weekly series, thank you!
I just ordered the Onxy hubs! Stoked to see the Norco dude on them
@2min40 I guess he meant "sprag clutch" and not "magnetic clutch" 🙊
And as always, love your videos guys!
Love that series.
it's amazing the quality of the bikes that "popped out"... here in Portugal, for me to get even the cheapest one would take me 5 to 6 years to save the money for it, and by then would be twice the money lol
first time with this type of video, was nice. it's nice to have it on the "normal" rider level, not always the same-old-same-old pro rider with top bike. Thanks for the video and the beautiful scenery.
cheers
It's taken near pretty rough trails only ridden by decent riders on full squish bikes. And they only pull over riders with expensive maaxis tires since it's their channel sponsor - something they should really be disclosing more obviously.....
@@Leo-ss2gb LOL good to know, why this all makes so much sense now.
@@Leo-ss2gb Maybe its true they pick bikes by the tire brand, but I have to say, its rare to see anything but Maxxis tires on the shore, I think you'd have to look hard to find them.
First guy said he replaces his handlebars every year “to be safe”.
Am I missing something here? I’ve been riding a long time and have never had bars fail me and some I used for a bunch of years.
Especially in roadbiking this is a common sentiment. Even more with carbon.
I also don’t do it, but I heard a lot of Roadies talk about it.
@@rolux4853 Yeah when carbon goes it goes quick. Your stem will have replaced your teeth where an alloy bar would likely bend. I wouldn't replace it annually but I absolutely would after a crash or extremely hard landing. Not that I have that kind of money, I'm fine with aluminium everything.
it's a good move if you ride hard. I also do the same with carbon bars, I typically show cracks in them at 18mo so change yearly to be on safe side. I do NOT want catastrophic failure on that part.
love it thx
i love these videos
Love seeing a status! I have one and it’s pretty much stock besides tires also
Just picked up a Status today, and I absolutely love it! Such a fun bike, super playful, but planted at the same time!
wish i had bikes like this...
transition bikes are the best!
What, no hardtails?! C'mon! :) great video anyway.
Yes please, keep it up North.
Will ride seymore in july🥳
every bike here so insane the standards of skill & bikes is crazy
Nick, ur giving off hotdog water vibes
Str8 hotdog water
who is Nick
Nick is the person who commented “First” 40 seconds after this video was posted
This is one of the best daily driver bike checks. All the bikes on this epsiode are fire!
lova dat commencal 2021 fox ed
Man I wish the mechanical gear shifters on the mid range SRAM and Shimano stuff told you what gear you were in
Transition-the most beautiful bike from all
What do you expect if you sit in the middle of the trail ?
I remember riding old buck when there was three women in the whole race we had to race up and then we raced down I think it was 1989 LOL so it was rigid Richie or Rocky Mountainsp
The Ibis Frankenstein is my kind of bike 👍
Forgot to say I swapped the shitty sram level T for Code R brakes but yeah that bike is amazing for the money
Deore rear mech with sram shifter. Didn’t know that was possible.
@@plmtb3694 Shimano parts don’t seem to work with other Shimano parts most the time 😂
@@TheSlowworms 😂
sick bikes
we dont like this serie we love it!
A 69 and 420 spring” that made me crack up 😂
The guy with Norco didn't go in details as you said :( What's in the purple bag? :)
🔥🔥🔥
Nice video, much squishy bikes.
No hardtail love over there? Want to head over to Canada some time for some rides, but are the trails too rough for a decent hardtail?
Some aren't ideal on a hardtail but you can for sure have some fun on a lot of them
lots of hardtails on the trails over here
Cool thanks 🙏
O chain on a bike with a high pivot?
just picked up a status this week. Upgrade from a trail bike hardtail. GX drivetrain and a bar swap and its ready to rip!
Congrats, amazing bike!
But what’s wrong with the bars?
@@rolux4853 not a single thing. They ship at 800mm and my old bars were already cut at 780. Aka I’m lazy. Plus if the person who buys my old bike wants 800mm bars they can keep it or cut.
Ah okay I get it.
I’m always to lazy adjusting the wheel/bar position again and reinstall all the brakes and shifters.
So I just take off the grips, take my rotational pipe cutter and cut them down.
Much less work for me 😂 but of course this works only when I want to use the standard bars that come with a bike.
2:02... thats a rainbow cassette under all that muck!
Pierre's shirt. Where to get one of those? 🤣
Ohhh yeah
Real World, Real Riders!
Changing Handlebars once a year for safety?
must have snapped some bars in the past
maybe if they're carbon yeah. As strong as it is, its incredibly brittle. If you get a few slams or high impacts youre beginning to play with fire.
Let’s see if there are any hardtails...
What kind of pedals were on the transition?
Oneup pedals, plastic version, the aluminum ones are very good but expensive
@@northgen1062 Thank you so much for the quick reply.
Frenchies out in full force.
If this daily drivers episode was done 22 years ago it would be DH bikes. With super T and short ass bars Hello oh I miss the good old days
Nothing stopping you from riding bikes how you want!
Very true I was just making A Point back on the shore in Them days that’s the sort of bikes you would see every day but imagine riding those bikes on the trials nowadays Short rear end were perfect for the trials on the shore like the Flying Circus and with the super Ts upfront perfect combo
Every one of these bike check videos, be it regular Joe's or EWS pros, it seems like everyone runs super lower tire pressure... how do you corner with 19 psi without the tire folding???
Cush Core and tubeless. I run Seymour at 20/21. As a 220lb rider
Seymour’s home, 22psi on my hardtail
Yeah I'm a fatass and I can get away with like 16-18 in the front no problems
Hold up. This guy at 7:20 is using a deore derailleur and a Sram shifter? That works???
Since 12 speed drivetrains have such narrow chain and cogs, the width difference between shimano and sram is almost negligeable. with a bit of tuning it can work great and more people are doing it because of parts that are unavaible
Hey thats me yeah it works perfectly fine👌
shifter just cares which cassette you use. 9sp shifter with 9sp cassette, ideally same brand.
They're indexed on each other. But both sram and shimano use similar spacings to cram 7/9/12 gears in, and thats why a shimano 9/12sp cassette will probably work on a sram shifter with some dialing in. The indexing is likely similar.
From what i can tell; as long as the derailer can accomodate your largest sprocket in the rear, you could theoretically use any 30yr old derailer with any new shifter and cassette, and it'll work. It's just an articulated arm, nothing more.
@@plmtb3694 12 speed only though right?
@@gucass 11speed works decent too
crazy how heavy bikes are getting. eek.
not a bad thing at all, weight is irrelevant, quality is more important
69 420 springs. Nice.
Was that a carbon altitude or alloy?
Pretty sure its carbon
Its a carbon
guy on the status is probably the fastest of all of them lol
6:28 - what dog breed is this? Anyone know?
purebred Canadian bush dog.
No hardtails!
Damn. No hardtails?!
Why change Bars once a year?
carbon bars get dangerous if they develop cracks, maybe he's worried about that
Why does no one rides Magura Brakes in Canada, in germany so many people ride them.
Quite a lot of people do its just a lot of people stick with the stock brakes on their bike or upgrade to a better brake from the same brand as the stock brakes and not a lot of bike company's put maguras on their bikes as the stock brakes
depending where you live they can be a bitch to get parts for.
@@DavePreissl oh bro tell me about it. have been trying to get parts for my mt5's in nz and its soo difficult
Love the concept. The awkward outro from each interview could use some work.
North Shore without DH or FR? I don’t think so
6:46 hey thats me! If you wanna see this Ripmo AF in action, take a look at my channel ! Happy riding
Anybody else wanna know the stuff the Norco had on the frame? I love to be prepared.
Were the PB sponsors not happy with showcasing older bikes?
These are to old bikes,.
Lol the second dude raved about biking at dawn to avoid Covid exposure. Good job man. Wouldn’t want to get sick while you’re in the woods with fresh air blowing all around you. Covid might sneak up and get you from behind a tree 😆
I guess you've never ridden on the north shore... gets as packed as a mosh pit at times! XD
@@O1D4 cant help but imagine some mtbers moshing around a tree, on some round northshore feature. lmfao
I’ve never seen Santa Cruz bikes, why are they not popular?
$$$$
Too expensive for low components imo. The frames are nice no doubt but I feel they’re too expensive for the components you get
There are plenty of SC bikes on the shore.
Here in Colorado I see them more than transition
No eMTBs? 🤔
More Chappetta content.
Not a single hardtail in sight lmao.
Wheres all the hardtails?
Riding in the technical climbing trails instead of old buck.
@@pixelc9560 I had to google "old buck". Looks like a city crusier could do that trail lol
Seymour bikes
Was hoping to see some more interesting bikes...
First guy is massive. The seat goes up to Christina's chest wtf
5:30 AM to start a ride is pretty standard here in my country.
I wish I could win the lottery and move to BC, mountain biking in Sweden sucks! I´m from the UK originally and even that is 100 times better
Im pretty sure there are some great mtg town in BC that are cheaper than Sweden
cc rules
MORE OF THE SOON TO BE BEHIND THE PAY WALL PINK BIKE.....I WILL MISS YOU GUYS
can we see more kids in the bike check video?
The Maxxis fan bois. Sheep.
Ha ha ha I am Italian do Christina know what his surname means really in Italian? 😀😂😂😂 I mean I the reason that this surname came from..😂😂😂😂
man some of these bikes cost more than my car
No way that dude on the Norco weighs 140…? I mean that’s tiny… he looks normal sized
#walancillo
Daily RIDER...
Locals ride from old buck?
all those dirty filthy innertubes strapped on the bikes.......ever have the fun of fitting a dirty filthy innertube to a wheel while out on a ride? I keep mine in my pack.....
Because you are the smart one instead of being the "cool" one.
What is really fun is riding without pack sac in my opinion but to each their own :) this tube is strapped on my bike only when traveling and as a emergency last resort, I always carry plugs also
