  • @instawookie210
    @instawookie210 Před měsícem +3

    Awesome video Evan!!! Have you considered letting some other fellas shred on each bike too to see how the results vary or how similar they are? Maybe find an new rider that is completely new to bikes and an intermediate rider? Just to compare those results too.
    This series has been awesome I've kinda followed a similar path on my 2023 Roscoe 8, I saved a ton a money going with a Marzocchi z2 bomber when Planet Cyclery was closing for 375$ instead of buying a Fox 34 or a Pike or anything like that. I also just purchased a set of Hunt wheels thanks to you lol.

      It's definitely noticeable, softer in the initial stroke. Id say it's a 25% improvement

    Awesome video so hooked on this comparison I couldn't stop watching and the results are not surprising sometimes all the gear doesn't fit together to make the ultimate package, low bike is smart choice's in a real world affordable way just the brakes I personally would have tried to find Shimano 4 piston over sram I like the level feel more and the pads don't wear as fast 👍👍👍

    I know this is a big ask Evan, but I was wondering if you had some spare forks as mine have sadly snapped and I do not have the money to get new ones, any fork would work but you will probably not see this comment but if you don’t see this comment just keep going your one of my favourite CZcamsrs.

  • @ryanttucker77

    I wonder what the outcome would be with 1460g carbon hunt wheels... heavier carbon may be why the speeds were close.

  • @Inkyredible

    I've run those cheap Amazon Puroma branded raceface knock-off pedals for a couple of years now on my Santa Cruz Bronson without any issues. No slipping at all. For the price, you can buy longer bolts to run through the pedals for more grip. Spending $100 on flat MTB pedals is ridiculous.

    • @EvansMTBSaga
