    How do you all feel about longer videos when I make them? I typically try to stay around 8-10 minutes but this one ran almost 20. let me know what you think?!?!?!

      Didn't feel like 20min. Good mix of riding and talking, so more this 💪🔥

      Idk how I feel about the longer videos. Keep making them though, I was entertained. I like that at the end of the ride you talk about the bike.

    Great video! I've been eyeing this bike for a while for my son. He only has a freeride bike for bike park but needs something that can pedal and handle all the trails in Montana, including bike park. I'm going to pull the trigger today and buy one. Thanks for the review. Nice work!

    Super informative video!! The length was not an issue at all, given that you showed the bike capabilities very well. Riding a Trek Marlin 6 hard tail and looking for a budget full suspension. This is definitely one to consider. Thank you for a great review and maybe we’ll run into each other at Griffin sometime.

    Been shredding my T7 for 2 years great entry bike and a great price! The frame is built like a tank and I've taken mine on everything from jumps to really gnarly single track and I've never felt better on a bike in the woods. Enjoy the bike I love mine!

    I tried to buy a t8 a couple years ago. They didn't indicate it, but they were apparenty out of stock and let me buy it anyway. After waiting 3 weeks and nothing shipped, I cancelled my order and ended up buying a Diamondback Release instead. Both are solid bikes. Fair warning for anyone going this route - see if they have the bike you are buying, especialy if you are in a hurry or comparison shopping against another deal that is time-sensitive.

    • @chickensendies

  • @droneon5575
    @droneon5575 Před 7 měsíci +2

    Im really considering this bike now. I use a hard tail that cost me 800 but I upgraded the front shock to rockshox but I want to upgrade to full suspension but still not spend 3-6k since Im still a beginner.

    $1449! Definitely best bang for the buck for under $2k. Mine is the older one that came with the Shiamno hubs and cassette vs the one you got with Novatec hubs and sunrace cassette

    So, you're 5'10 and a Medium fits OK? I bought a D7se in Medium and it feels small even though the bike sizer recommended it. Was going to return in for a T7 in Large because that's what the online sizer recommends. D7se in Large is OOS. I am only ~5'9" though.

    • @chickensendies
      @chickensendies  Před 4 měsíci

      Honestly at the end of the day they have their "recommendations" but you still may not like how it fit and feels. I am 5' 10" with a 32" inseam and this bike felt and rode great for me. I'd say if you don't like it definitely go for the large and see 😁😁😁

  • @theshedMTB
    @theshedMTB Před 7 měsíci +1

    Most of my main videos are between like 16 minutes and 20 minutes. The only difference to me is if it's a longer video like this I don't always watch it right away I wait until I know I have 20 minutes to sit and watch it but I always do watch it

    • @chickensendies

  • @wheelinkid00
    @wheelinkid00 Před měsícem +1

    Do you typically ride mediums? I’m the same height as you and cannot figure out if a medium or large is best suited. According to polygons charts I’m right in between frame sizes.

    • @chickensendies
      @chickensendies  Před měsícem +1

      So, I typically ride mediums and this video is a medium. I have recently had a T9 sent to me for review and it is a large. The large honestly fits very nicely 😁

    • @wheelinkid00
      @wheelinkid00 Před měsícem +1

      So basically both would be rideable, just comes down to preference then?

    • @chickensendies
      @chickensendies  Před měsícem

      @wheelinkid00 imo, yes! I was very surprised with how nice the large felt though 😁 5' 10" with a 32" inseam. I would go large personally

    • @wheelinkid00
      @wheelinkid00 Před měsícem +1
