As someone who watches bike builds by Ali C almost exclusively, I was confused for a moment by lack of cat in this video
Haha - I could only hope to be as good as Ali C (on the bike or on the tools). Maybe the Cute Thief is his secret weapon.. 🤔
@@SuperRiderTV Your riding and channel dont have to hide behind Ali C. In my personal oppinion, the two most inspiring channels related to trials/mtb riding! 👍👍
@@SuperRiderTV If I remember correctly Cute Thief adopted Ali and Ali was amazing even before being chosen by cat.
Regarding skill it's just matter of perspective. Last time I serviced my suspension fork, it took me whole evening and I did sweat about the amount as if I'd be riding in sauna, just from the nerves. Riding wise both you and Ali are in pure sci-fi land viewing from my skill level. 🙂
You're both excellent channels in their own ways, idk get a doggo? 😛
Nice build, looking forward how it fits for your riding! I tried out 29 inch wheels, They felt too bulky for me, I couldn't handle them well. I sold the 29 fully and buyed a used liteville 311 in 26inch wheels in the size m (iḿ 1,86cm tall) and felt in love with this bike! It has 12,5Kg and is so playful. There are nice videos with this bike out there (vertriders for example).
love it that there are genius used bikes for cheap money out there, only because 26inch is not hip anymore 😊
I'm really surprised at how well I've adapted to this geometry and wheel size so far - I was really concerned that it wasn't going to handle the same way as my 27.5" bikes. So far, so good...but I do miss the benefits of a 26" bike every now and then. Would be interesting to switch back and ride a smaller bike, just to see!
Fantastic work!
Thanks! Guarantee you would have been shaking your head if you were here. haha
Looks like it's ready to send on! Hopefully the weather clears up and you can get out on the trails soon!
So ready for this weather to clear up. If this keeps up, I might have to hop a flight to Oz! 🤔
@@SuperRiderTV 164 days a year of rain on average lol. But isn't there is a desert 150 miles to the east?
@@SuperRiderTV It's either hot as hell or raining here right now, but still rideable!
Haha - yes, there is, but you have to cross a (snowy and treacherous) mountain pass to get there.
Very nice overhaul bike! Just a comment about routing the rear brake. Yes, you can use your magnet to fish the cable line because aluminum are not magnetic material.
Nice upgrades!
Thank you!
The Ardent as a front tire is an interesting choice
Check out my newest video…they didn’t last long 😉
Killer build, Deity for life!!
For life!! And they just keep getting better and better. This is going to be my first 35mm bar, looks so legit.
Bash guard, One Up ? cheers, always enjoy your positivity and advice. Nick , Yorkshire, UK.
That's the one! Really impressed with it so far, I've been putting it to the test! :)
That's a pretty awesome build. I just traded in my Trek Marlin 7 XC hard tail bike for a Diamondback SyncR because I needed in a hard tail something a little more rugged and it really makes a big difference the components on the bike, the Diamondback doesn't have internal cable routing though so you do get to see the cables in all their glory and being a more aggressive hard tail it is quite heavy but I like heavy bikes, they feel more stable over jumps for me. Don't get me wrong the Marlin for XC and light work is a fantastic bike but it's not suited for heavy riding or a heavy rider.
Right on - I had a DB for ages (actually still do) and it held up great! The weight side of things doesn't bother me too much, either. I like the stability, and honestly for the style of riding I do, I barely notice the weight in most cases.
Hands down my favorite and most noticeable upgrade I’ve done to a bike is a set of industry 9 wheels with hydra’s totally transforms the ride, also can’t go wrong with Hayes dominions either love those brakes! Only thing I’d change is sell the black bomber z2 and upgrade to a 150mm bomber z1 with red lowers to match the red Marin logos but damn that rifty is looking nice 😍
Oooh, that's a good call on the red suspension fork. I definitely need to take a closer look at the suspension setup on this bike - I think it'll make a huge impact. Pumped on those i9 wheels!
I really like this build it’s looks good
Thanks so much! Can't wait to get this bike out for a proper test with the new parts - these wheels are going to make a huge difference!
Nice, i've used the I9 enduro S wheelset couple years ago, downside is I kept breaking spokes on the rear wheel...like way more then normal for me...which was 0 times in the past compared to like 3 spokes in one season.
Oh interesting! I've never broken a spoke before, but let's see how this wheelset holds up. I'll keep an eye on this - thanks for the heads up!
i dont know how much experience you have mountainbiking but the ardent is way less aggressive then the dhr which normally is the opposite(agreesive on front fast rolling on rear) but i guess you have to try how it works for you
After trying the DHR2 up front, thanks to a video from Ride Alongside showing the 29x3.0 version on the front, I’m not sure there is a better front tire.
@@AZHighlandHomestead dhr on front is great for faster rolling but he has dhr maxxgrip rear and dc ardent on front
I agree that I found that choice a little strange too, I've always gone with more (or equal) grip on the front than the rear for MTB and this seemed a bit strange, but it may come from wanting to be able to do trialsy stuff on the bike where rear grip often matters more.
💯
@@joe-dm6vj yep. Ardent is good for xc type riding as a front tire. I like it paired with the Rekon or Ikon on the rear as a really fast and moderately gripping xc combo.
I enjoyed watching you build up the bike, but as an XC weight weenie, seeing the weight made me wince.
Agreed! Now that I think about it, the only carbon on this bike is in the spacers on the stem. It would be fun to do a lightweight bike build, though! Just need to find the budget (or sponsors) for it..
Hi, what version of gx cranks did you choose? I have the same bike, and I also wanted to to make some upgrades on it, including cranks. But to choose cranks with rigth q factor and chainline is real problem, because the most of common cranks doesn't fit that frame.
Rig is so dialed!!🔥 Let me know when you find the real life cut for when doing a brake bleed 🤣
Ha, I'll send you a link to the uncut version if you have a few hours to spare! ;)
A magnetic field will pass through non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, a magnet should work fine
I was trying to use the Jagwire magnet thing and struggled - but have since picked up a proper frame threading kit, which will hopefully work better if/when I need to do this again. Fingers crossed! :)
Nice build. Seems most of your bike frames are aluminum, what's your thoughts on aluminum vs carbon, thx
I would love to have a carbon frame to test out, hopefully sooner than later! I did ride a carbon trials bike for a while and felt a big step up in power transfer from my pedals, I'm curious if that would carry over on a suspension bike.
looking forward to your test result :)
Did you go with your tire set up to keep it trialsy to get better brake to ground contact? Just curious.
I think so - or at least, it fits my riding style and the trails I like to ride. Rocky, technical bits…I’ve had good luck with these tires in the past, so I just stuck with what had worked. Although I’ve been sort of interested in mixing it up, so we may swap to some other tires throughout the year to test them out.
I was looking at the tires and thought that dhr is going to the front and ardent back. Then he did it the other way around and I was like aaah, trials setup😅
@@SuperRiderTVthat’s cool. I’d like to see how different tires stack up in varying conditions
Honest question. Is there any particular reason besides cost that you didn't go for AXS on the GX?
Cost, honestly. I've used electronic shifting before and it's awesome. I would love to update this bike with that at some point (and some carbon parts), but to get this bike rolling, I just kept it analog.
@@SuperRiderTV absolutely fair. I've wanted to upgrade my GX for a while, but can't justify the cost to myself hehehe
@@Leo_Inclan It's rad and I definitely want to do it...but I feel like that extra money could go to updating the suspension first. Tough decisions! :)
What tires are you running?
Maxxis DHR and Ardent (2.4 x 29) tires
I see a lot pf pro swearing by the hayes Dominion the last hayes I had was the strokers I wasn't really a fan, it's been 10+ yrs and I'm really curious... I've been really disappointed by the hope e4's and the magura mt7's I'm back with the code rsc but they kinda lack a bit of immediacy, wonder if the dominion would be so much better...
Honestly, I was the same on all counts. These brakes live up to the hype. I've put them on three bikes so far, and will continue to do so. :)
enjoy hayes!;)
Polygon or riptzone
?
Some more marin boxex are hiding there 🌝
He unboxed some before, maybe they are empty already
I think that's the box from my Marin Alcatraz dirt jump (now street trials) bike? But wouldn't be opposed to a few more bikes arriving this year.. :)
well done….grasshoppa…
Thank you! 🙏
