@@pennywood5653 Yep! We had to buy quite a lot of our spare components and things from shops as everything was delayed so much that we wouldn't have been able to start the season without a few purchases to get the bikes rolling.
He wasn't asked to wear it James 😂. He had probably just got back/was just about to head out riding, he's also wearing tech trousers, a tech T and riding shoes.
Why is people always nagging about GMBN having sponsors contracts. It is an absolutly normal thing. We dont pay them a cent for these videos, so they need to get their income from somewhere. All they do costs money !!! Take that in mind please.
You know crashing at 20mph and hitting your head is the same as falling 2.5 meters directly on to your head. For this reason I respect Rich's dedication to safety gear. The bike's lovely but I'm assuming it's one of those if you have to ask the price you can't afford it type of fancey bleeding edge suspension thingymabobs.
it is and its got to be great for feedback (you can build your own fairly easily just using a computer mouse or strip encoder like you get on those £2 digital calipers.) as for active shock settings...danger will robinson. danger.
If the shock is linked to GPS and you can pre set your suspension for different trails and sections then there is FINALLY a point to electronic components! I'm waiting for GPS linked electronic suspension before I get any electronic components.
So...full pictures on instagram and details on pinkbike of the new suspension with electronic control for compression etc ('flight attendant'... but cant show it here?? Maybe filmed a while ago, but missed the scoop.... Combining live adaptive compression control and data gathering/set up in one unit attached to the top of fork, or shock, it seems
With the new e-bike trend taking hold of overweight middle-aged men with too much money, you’ll need batteries for the bike, the groupset, and now the suspension!……pointless
Pointless.. unless you can pre set your suspension for different sections. Imagine all the benefits of having your suspension perfect at any time with no buttons to push while riding.
@@W1DO for a professional maybe. But why would the average Joe want this? Unless your riding the same trails over and over, you can’t pre-setup. The RTC system works perfectly, this is just another money making scheme.
its more a case of recharge every few months. or run a 3v power rail off the 12v for the lights like i do then all your stuff connects to one battery. cr2030's no more 😂 (i dont own an ebike but the battery charging with 5 adapters for one bike can get annoying.) copper tape for the wiring sealed over with kapton.👍
@@luminousfractal420 could easily be an NFT similar to gaming items if the suspension companies want to make it popular and tradable. You would just need to have settings from 1-25 (1 flat climb 10 trail 20 DH rocky and 25 dirt jumps) allow people to adjust what their own number relates to and boom
i dunno. not sold on this as anything useful for the consumer. anything a cpu applies will be a late response to whats already past. it would need proper radar and 3d imaging to have any chance of activating a profile for whats ahead. and the last thing id want is a shock that could end up locking up in a bad moment due to the previous 2 seconds being smooth. ok so it can react fast. but same counts. its a reaction to a previous input. tech is there to make it work. you could do it with one of the new iphones they have 3d scanning and radar. as it is...nope no way in hell.
Hi Usagi, this is a BikeCheck of Charlie's Specialized Enduro with RockShox BlackBox (Now known as Flight Attendant) suspension. Charlie wasn't allowed to talk about these components at the time of shooting, and Rich respected that. We have chosen to talk about this in our weekly Tech Show tomorrow.
Let us know what you think of Charlie's bike? 👇
Cool
Nice. Are pro bikers having the same problems with component supply chain?
@@pennywood5653 why should they not?
@@pennywood5653 not really considering they’re always the first to get the new bikes
@@pennywood5653 Yep! We had to buy quite a lot of our spare components and things from shops as everything was delayed so much that we wouldn't have been able to start the season without a few purchases to get the bikes rolling.
Gorgeus interview. We need more pro bikes check
Really stretching to use that POC sponsorship, Rich wearing a helmet to do an interview lol
To be honest, they are comfortable to the point of having no need to take them off between riding
And if I had a POC sponsorship I would never take my helmet off either lol.

@@jeffv.akaonsjeffke9865 it was a joke
Great to see the bike being discussed. My boy Tom is his mechanic on the circuit. Well done Team
He's definitely doing a great job! Hopefully having fun getting to travel to some cool locations too 👍

Wait, so there was no actual discussion of the Flight Attendant suspension on the video with Flight Attendant in the title? C’mon now
Sorry :(
We filmed it before we were allowed to talk about the FA system!
I just repaired, just in time, my Noleen ELT Crosslink with Smart shock from 1997. After 20 years i can compare it with some other smart shocks...
Pro Biker: Oh, it's nice. Rest of amateur riders: Ohh... i need it to continue living on this planet! ;-)
That thumbnail made it look like he had an extremely long rear fender. 😂
It would've looked good tho!

gps would be a nice touch. dont know about you but i can use my thumbs without breaking a sweat.
When charlie comes in, there's a Porsche 911 in the background

The AXS version of suspension has arrived to join drive train and seat post.... brakes next...
We filmed this back at the start of September, we will be talking about it in the show today. 👍
R you able to fit a 220mm disc to the rearof this bike ???
They should consider changing the name to SHRAM. Everyone pronounces it that way anyway.

@@W1DO imagine someone uploads some maniacal suspension setting for a section. lets face it that data will not be ours some app will own it.

More electronics that can fail plus maintenance by a college graduate $$$. Just what we needed.
This is frikkin' Clickbait. A fat dislike from me. If you want a proper vid on the flight attendant, go to Pinbike and Mike Levy. Shame on you, GMBN!

Where in the title did it say anything about FLight Attendant?
They never said anything about flight attendant idiot... It's a Bike check and NOT a review of flight attendant
@@derekbrotherton3462 It was in the original title. Looks like GMBN (correctly) changed it.
