      In fact I think it is much more exciting the guys who don't know "every angle ou spoke spec" about their bikes... They just ride and shred! I don't know but IMO guys who are psyched about their bikes specs (35 or 40mm stem 😒) usually don't get riding skills to match his worries about these little details.
      So I prefer these rad guys who give a f*** to little specifications

    • @nickgustafson9064
      @nickgustafson9064 Před 2 lety +13

      Tubes are good for jumping where they have high pressure. It’s when you run low pressure that pinch flats happen. Otherwise tubes are fine but when you need every bit of traction losing a few psi makes a big difference

    • @antanis
      @antanis Před 2 lety +3

      Tubes for these higher pressures and jumps and drops as the main use case actually makes sense to me. I prefer tubeless for enduro and the flat protection.

      I don’t seriously think it was a rider choice to save 5g by using Ti bolts, as far as I know he had his bike built for him so it’s probably just to add a bit of bling factor. Not much point saving a few grams when the bike weighs 40 pounds really is there.
