    That’s true you gota buy it learn from it before you change anything” I learned the hard way”I choose aluminum there’s no big difference in weights I feel safer in aluminum and every bike you get you just gota ride it and do whatever tweeks and dials you also gota feel a better difference for your own self for a better riding style and feel”don’t just upgrade if is not making any sense any difference for a better feel when riding”only the owner knows his bike💯

    What an awesome commentary. It's way too easy to get caught up in the techno hype. If you aren't within 15% of a pro's time, work on yourself. So great to hear somebody speak the truth.

    Watched this video two days before ordering my 2020 Capra. Got the bike...riding it, love it!😊 I installed my Pnw loam lever yesterday and moved the Capra lever over to my Marin since the lever on that bike was worn out. Added Raceface Chester pedals and trusty Womens specific saddle.

    • @mtbgringo755
      @mtbgringo755  Před 4 lety

      Awesome! I’m still loving the Capra. Every time I take it out it blows my mind. How do you like the loam lever?

    • @trailladymtb7700
      @trailladymtb7700 Před 4 lety

      MTB Gringo.. Hi....the Loam Lever is really nice! So Easy to install, has many different configurations on how you can run it...mine is clamped to the bars and not brake lever. Its tight and machined so nice. My stock Capra lever worked, but had some play....I chose the PNW over the Wolf Tooth...they are both very good, but pricey.. I was only able to get it because Worldwide Cyclery price matched the Loam lever, and a little more percentage off another companies deal and helped me out. I got lucky 😌

    @Sebsen14 Před 4 lety +1

    The fine tuning for the suspension isn't that hard, I just used the recommended settings by FOX that can be found online depending on your weight/the amount of PSI you are using, can feel a difference. :D

    • @mtbgringo755
      @mtbgringo755  Před 4 lety

      Sebastian S I did setup my suspension based on fox’s recommendations and its good.. good enough for basic riding. By fine tuning I mean the adding and subtracting of spacers and tinkering with pressure. What I was trying to say is I think the basic shock setup is good enough for most rides and you don’t need to stress out about it... like I was when I was in the buying process

    • @Sebsen14
      @Sebsen14 Před 4 lety

    Hey I was thinking bout getting my first full sus bike and I wanna get 27.5 just cuz they more fun and my local trail has about 5 big climb sections otherwise it’s pretty flowy after with the up and downs so is the capra going to be bearable or should I go with the Jeffsy

    • @mtbgringo755
      @mtbgringo755  Před 4 lety +1

      That all depends on what type of riding you’re doing. It can squeak by as an all-around trail bike but you are giving up on some climbing. I suffer more on my climbs...it’s hard. So if you need an all around bike I’d probably get the jeffsy. What is great about this bike is that it is really forgiving. What I mean by that is if you are trying to progress in drops, jumps, and technical descending the geometry and suspension of the bike will cover up a lot of your mistakes. In that sense the bike will give you a lot confidence in those areas. Im a beginner in the area of enduro trails and this bike has allowed me to advance much quicker.

    • @mtbgringo755
      @mtbgringo755  Před 4 lety

      I can’t give you any first hand experience only what I’ve heard. It has been said that the 29er suspension is tuned to be more progressive giving a firmer climbing platform making it a little bit better on the climbs. If that is true and how much it helps I don’t know. Thanks for the comment.
