    I like this! Do more videos about the old and upgradable bikes! Personally, I have no interest watching videos about the highly priced bikes, that I can't afford!😅 Greetings from Croatia from Kris 😎

      Copy that, I will. Thanks for the note and the support. Yeah, bike prices got insane the last 3 years. I am glad for these 30-50% off sales. IMO all bike retail should come back down 30%.

    THOSE BETD ROCKER PLATES THO!!!! Great to see you on another platform, old friend. Keeping those old AC's alive! It's kinda making me want another one...🤔 I'm your newest subscriber and can't wait to watch the rest of your content. -Poolguy55

      Awesome! Great to see you too. Thanks for turning in. I've been doing this stuff, as you know, for over a decade. I finally decide to publish. Ironically, I almost started back in 2011, bought the GoPro version 1 (when it was new) and started editing. At that time download and upload speeds took so long I didn't move forward. I'm have a ton of fun with it now, and its healthy for me as it keeps me moving during the day. I have nerve damage in my back and since I work at home I am trying to get up often and do 15 min on a vid for some movement, and then back to the real job. Anyway, great to see you and I'll get back in the garage as soon as this arctic chill has passed.

      Hi, thank you, and thanks for the specific feedback. My software for some reason only gave me the option to upload 720p. I thought that was weird bc everything is filed in either 1080p or 4k. Thankfully this is the only vid (of the 9 I have done) where I got that 720p limitation. I will look into it and be sure everything going forward uploads in at least 1080p. Appreciate the specificity about your experience on PC, and the support. See you in the next one, Eric.

    I would recommend you to put the subtitles down and it will look better without the black background. if you need help with cutting and editing the video, I can help you if you want. Otherwise great topic and video I enjoyed watching. I believe that if you enjoy it and you continue this for a long time, you will have a big channel. Good work keep it

      @MTB-Garage  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! Yeah, I was thinking the same going forward. Also, the black background was an "oops" via a screen adjustment that I missed. I have it fixed going forward. Appreciate the support 👍, II'll keep it in mind. I'm learning a little with each video.

    I subscribed so fast a couple weeks ago when I saw you were rebuilding an AC, giving me some great inspo for my own build, just got an x-fusion metric that I’m getting ready to slap on my AC 🫡

    • @MTB-Garage
      @MTB-Garage  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is awesome. Message me back when your AC is complete and let me know how it went. I have done 4 different AC's over the years; I do NOT recommend going more than 160mm in the front unless you are very tall. Keep me posted.

      @dantags98 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@MTB-Garage you're spot on, 160 mm up front feels perfect i'm glad I was able to reduce the travel down from 180mm, and maybe just needs some more volume spacers in the shock since the 6.6" shock position felt super linear at first with an air shock

      @@dantags98 Exactly. In my experience, all of these older 4-bar suspensions were very linear. Hope your build is going well. FYI, I am at 66 degree HTA as currently constructed. Which for 2005, was great.

      @@MTB-Garage got to take it out on 2 big rides this past weekend and it’s a blast
      Not sure how accurate my iPhone measuring app is but I measured 65° HTA with the X-fusion metric
      The bike as a whole feels so good and it’s crazy how well it does for how old it is, and I mash on it being 220lbs and using it as my main bike
      Pleasantly surprised how this freeride-intended bike climbs, could be the 1x9 11-46 I slapped on LOL
      Just saw your most recent vid as well, your other bikes are sick! 🔥🔥
