Man...Repeat Offender is a hell of a beating!!! Great trail but...probably turned your hands and wrists into pulp! Great riding! Enjoyed every single second. Little suggestion, wich you've probably already heard 100 times: gloves do help...Cheers from Coimbra, Portugal.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😄 yea repeat offender was such a long trail was definitely tired at the bottom plus that was my final trail at the Golfie on this trip. With regards to gloves I find it the opposite, I only ever get hand pump and finger fatigue when wearing gloves 🤷 thin soft compound grips and no gloves for the win ! 🤟
Well, well...That's one to shut me up! Lol! Sorry, it wasn't with bad intentions! I'll explain the glove part: Ever since I discovered ESI silicone foam grips, decades ago, I only ever use extra chunky esi grips. And I never needed gloves, as I hate them all, because I only ever rode XC light bikes, and never felt the need for them. As I discovered Enduro I built 2 full Enduro bikes. A Specialized Stumpjumper Evo Mullet (160/150mm, 13,47 kgs) and a Propain Tyee Cf (180/160mm, 13,97 kgs). Any one of those 2 bikes gets me to sweat from my hands within mins and the esi grips turn from extremely confortable to soap bars wich in turn make everything extremely dangerous. And so I gave up and use very thin and light padded gloves that, turns out, help me a lot. Still hate them though! That will never change. And for the two 10,5kgs XC bikes I never wear gloves. Unless I'm training with a friend of mine who is a professional and therefore, a beast...Cheers my friend. Good ridings!
@@luismartins9521 you don't need to apologize I understand you were only making a suggestion. I discovered the benefits of gloveless riding by mistake after I forgot my gloves one ride. I used to always get hand and arm pump and sweat no end, now the complete opposite. I'll only ever wear gloves now when it's cold or wet....peace ✌️
And you can never fight full, hard facts! I wished that was the case for me but it's the absolute opposite...So gloves it is...Cheers from Portugal! Ride well, ride safe! And keep those videos coming!
Can't beat the golfie 💪
Awesome isn't it 😍
