      I would've added a chain bash guard ! Insanely necessary on this track imo, also insane respect goes to Blake for doing this on a hardtail, a mad man, I did Mountain of Hell on my downhill bike in June and even with 200mm travel front and rear, it was an absolute nightmare to stay on the bike and sometimes felt like a rodeo, and let's not talk about arm pump and having permaclaw. Cheers guys and congrats to Blake !

      Less volume spacers in the lyrik, and little more pressure imo, what with huge neg spring in them, to reduce arm pump.

      Walter White I think a lot if people are going to be getting rid of their impulsive bike purchase. Not all but enough to make the used market competitive. Market correction at its finest, if you go on the used market now you can see it already happening, people letting go of barely used bikes and trying to flip them at retail or sometimes even with a markup.

    Hello, first of all i absolute love watching GMBN. You guys actually got me back it to mountain biking built my confidence back up, it has helped me so much in other ways. Mentally and physically. So I thank you guys for that. Blake, what a man! I watched this a few times never gets old 🤙🏼 also baught the GMBN Jersey and mug to show a bit of support .
    SO I have a giant fathom 2 2020. A entry level bike I know. At first it was just to get back out there on a bike and just ride for fitness with a bit of fun along the way. Things have changed now I have headed towards the more technical down hill side of things. I want to do a bit of a project. Making it in to a aggressive /enduro hardtail but will the frame take a 140mm/ 150mm travel on the front? Will this work? If not I guess I'll sell it and purchase another bike.
    thanks! 🤙🏼

Like did you you notice much flex int he bottom bracket/Crank area whilst riding as bike of older, same theme of "agessive trail" had alot of flex in the BB area, did you notice any flex or similar that was a concern that you though was abit to much to what I am asking about or that it did flex enough begin AL and the inherent traits of the metal??

    That thing weighs as much as my $800 hardtail cross-country bike, but most of my weight in in the coil fork.

      the sealant and the tire inserts together with the enduro fork gave it more weight.

    So he previously ran a 29er full suspension, but then runs a 27.5 hardtail.
    I would have gone with a 29er hardtail, you might roll over a lot more.

    I need help! I've ordered a 2020 scout in medium size. But since then I've seen people saying that the a large scout is the same as a medium size by other brands. Does that mean the medium will be too small?

      @drmoynihan 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      How did your Nukeproof Scout turn out. I plan to order in March and I'm 5'9".
      Also, why 27.5" instead of 29"?

    • @M_F754
      @M_F754 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@drmoynihan I'm really pleased with the size of mine, but I like bikes to be on the slightly smaller side, but obviously not too small. Also the reason I went for 27.5 was mainly down to the ability to choose wider tyres and have more travel on the fork that comes with it. Also one thing to consider is, what is the reach on your current bike? Compare that to what the scouts have to offer. But I'd say that the medium will probably be just fine for you. I'm 5'10" with an inseam of 30"

      Thank you for your helpful response.
      I am 68 yrs old and 15+yrs ago I loved my older 26" Raleigh hardtail, but then I got a 29 inch Hardtail - 3x8 TREK Gary Fisher Wahoo and I love it. The first time I rode it, I was anticipating a number of crashes, but I just rolled through the holes and gaps and rocks and roots!!!!! And the newer derailleurs were awesome. So now I come to where I am today. I just can't describe the wonderful difference the 29" has made in my offroad/gravel with potholes/logging ruts/trail experience!!!
      I am going for another hardtail, mostly because of the new 1x12 derailleurs - leaning towards SRAM (any advice?) but want the mineral oil brakes (Shimano XT BR-M8000 Disc Brakes?) but no resin pads.
      In March, I am going to order a Medium Nukeproof Scout 29". But I don't want to wish I had chosen a 27 1/2".
      I am 5'9", 195 lbs, 31 1/2" inseam.
      What are your thoughts?

    • @M_F754
      @M_F754 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@drmoynihan to be honest, I'm fairly new to 1x gear systems, tapered heads and bigger wheels. But from what I've heard, you probably won't be disappointed with the XT brakes. Mineral oil is better as it can be specifically made to meet the requirements of the brakes, where as dot fluid is only made to dot spec. If you really like the feel of a 29er then perhaps it would be better to stick with it. Nukeproof say that the widest tyres you can fit on the 29 version are 2.6 inch, but I did see someone mention that you can get away with wider, but 2.6 is going to be wide enough for most people anyway. I'm not sure what to say about the derailleurs, but these days both SRAM and Shimano are both going to be pretty good. As I said earlier, I think the main thing to consider is the reach, rather than the inseam, especially if you get the one with a dropper post.

    • @s14tat
      @s14tat 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It should be a straight forward swap. Get the proper crank set for your bottom bracket, a narrow wide chain ring, a 11 speed cassette that is not a sram XD driver so any 11 tooth in the 11 speed cassette. You can mix and match chains, derailleur and shifter. You need a 11 speed chain, and shifter. The shifter determines how many gears it will shift.

      Even if you could, I would not recommend it. It'll lift your bottom bracket by a lot which is not ideal especially on a short, steep 26" bike
