Sorry guys give me just a second trying to get the camera all set up and working properly there we go o oh goodness gracious it is stinking cold in Illinois had my heater on in here all day and it is still not warm check it out chicken
Cindy t-shirt this one’s a little snug it’s a small I really need a medium all I had was a small right now let me uh let me get set up on the iPad so I can see who’s on and who’s commenting and everything so give me
Just a moment please if anyone’s on yet I just kind of jumped on real quick so I didn’t really have any like hey I’m doing a live feed today kind of thing set up so just just figured I’d jump on real quick and see what happened uh I know it’ll should give me
Notifications for being live here it is well a couple people’s on being live here it is a couple people on all right so today we’re going to put some breaks on the NS Ecentric uh long story short it was let me turn this iPad off sorry the volume that way it’s not
Messing and echoing so I’m sure it is I should have I have a new fancy lapel mic that’s Wireless I could have done that and used that for today so sorry about that guys so uh long story short here we’ll explain kind of what’s been going on the last couple weeks
Uh my oldest daughter ended up having to go to the hospital for about 4 days so it was uh hey what’s going on William how are you doing bud must be pretty nice in Arizona right now compared to the wonderful weather here in you know Illinois I know you were in Indiana
Originally but still so yeah uh my daughter was in the hospital for a short stint kind of put a damper on a lot of plans for videos and stuff and I was in the process of trying to put the brakes on this bike you can see that the front
Brake is just kind of dangling currently uh I thought I had the proper adapters and I guess I didn’t so I had to purchase the adapters and then the whole thing with Elsie happened so I didn’t get to like actually make the video like I was T attending and planning on doing
So very sorry for the laps in videos for about 3 weeks hopefully we can get back to doing what I try to do an intend on doing there’s a smudge on my glasses but besides that we’ll uh I’ll show you the fancy adapters I bought they’re
Ztto I usually do Shimano I’m sorry the zenos but I usually do Shimano but these are the ones I went with uh they’re just 20 mm adapters cuz that’s what I needed to be able to put these brakes on so uh my bad for not having them like I thought I
Did so oops on that we’ll uh wait just a little bit for some more people oh hey I didn’t realize it was it did come with some bolts that makes me happy I wasn’t sure if it was or wasn’t going to actually come with bolts to mount so
Good yeah these are pretty cool they’re like $8 if I recall on Amazon give or take some nice purple ones so these should fit on this front and the rear no problem cuz I got two of them and we should be able to put these bad boys on and uh
Hopefully be able to break cuz breaking as rich Mo would say the wonderful Rich Moore brakes only slow you down so why put them on correct but sometimes you need brakes so I kind of cheated a little bit I’ll actually there we go we’ll turn this so
Hopefully I’ll kind of be working a little backwards but hopefully you guys can see that a little bit better uh let me actually I’ll see in just a second on this hey what’s going on Colin how you doing bud so let’s see if we can oh gosh that’s pretty close according to
The to the uh wonderful picture that I’m seeing on the iPad so yeah this should work out pretty pretty good I think it’s got the nice little arrow showing you which ways to go up so yeah you’ll just put these on and does it have the spacers looks
Like it has the spacers as well so that’s pretty nice these are pretty self-explanatory they got little little bitty dabs of some blue Loctite I don’t know if you can see that or not but some little blue Loctite so that’ll help keep them in place which is good we got some
Heshers these are the nice little bits okay we’ll figure this out and if you do not notice either there is usually a long bolt and a shorter bolt okay obviously the longer bolt goes on The Wider SES so this side’s got more metal than that side so if you’ve not ever put
One of these adapters on now you know I wonder I can slip it in the spoke and go through where it needs to go there we go as it should go through like this right so yeah it’ll go on like this I’m going to have to definitely do some shortening holy
Cow I got these from MTV Kio shout out Kio he’s always giving me the hookup I’ve always appreciated him always will appreciate him he is an absolutely wonderful amazing remarkable human being and he takes good care of me so I send him money he sends me Slightly Used
Parts at a great price so I appreciate Kio Kio helps me keep my addiction of mountain biking parts and building well and Alive I’ll get to the iPad here in a second and take a look to see who else has joined uh fun fact we will be doing a giveaway at some point
In time in this video I’m not 100% sure what we’re giving away yet I’m thinking an Amazon gift card those are really easy and I like doing those so just a heads up if you’re potentially wanting to get something and you’re you’re joining and watching hey what’s up
Judy we’ll uh so we’re going to be doing a giveaway so and also the nice thing about Amazon gift cards or it doesn’t matter where you live if you live across the pond cuz I’m in the states I can typically get on some way shape or form
And get the appropriate Amazon gift card to you which really works out great as I’ve had a gentleman from Finland win and I was able just to send him what he needed we have to adjust that we’ll see if we can get away with using our fancy clip thing which sometimes we can
Sometimes we can’t or I guess it’s like a fancy little spacer but yeah there we go easy peasy look at that that purple looks nice on there kind of goes really well with the uh purple and teal on that it’s kind of why I went with them so I
May end up getting new rotors these rotors are pretty old they’re like two and a half three years old so I may end up getting new rotors I got 203 in the front 180 in the rear but I was kind of debating on if I did or didn’t want to
Get new rotors so I hav’t yet I was hoping to maybe get through I was hoping to get through a couple rides with this one originally before I do anything and I don’t see why I wouldn’t be able to and I mean honestly they should still have decent
Amount of life in them let’s see if we can put this silly thing on and get away with doing it this thing always gives me a headache I always drop the screw or something so we’ll see what happens here the screw is always so teeny tiny when
You take these off and you put them back on you definitely do not have to make these super super tight if you’ve never really messed with brakes before so just heads up just kind of put it back in and get it a little snug nothing crazy by
Any means oh gosh I say that and now the screw there we go I going back where it needs to go Mak it to work so I’ll mention this a couple times in the video and I’ll show you here in just a second once I get this little screw to bite and
Start threading like it needs to there we go so yeah I’ll uh here in a second I’ll show you what I was talking about but first there we go you can see that’s kind of hard to see but I actually have a little piece of like protective tape
Right here cuz I knew that’s where that brake cable would rub so I’ll snug this down a smidge and I’ll show you something really cool uh if you guys happen to have watched the live feed uh last week that I did with run bike mic and MTB Q&A you would have already seen
These but we are currently working on chicken C’s hat so we are actually doing a giveaway for three of these fun fact uh the fourth one is actually for someone so I’ll put that over there but we’re giving away three but the way you enter these is
Actually on Instagram uh you have to go to Instagram you’ll find a post where I’m talking about these hats it’s a it’s a short if I recall but it’s just on the chicken Cindy’s page and you’ll see the hat and we’re actually giving away three
Of them and I’m going to be doing the drawing here in a couple days I don’t actually have a date for it but all you have to do is comment on the video in Instagram and tag someone on the comment and I did ask that you follow MTB Q&A
And that you followed runbike mic because they were part of the live feed whenever I announced that we were going to start making these so these are kind of like the prototypes I think I’m going to change them just ever so slightly but these will be the first ones there was
Like eight of these made if I recall that I that I had done so just a heads up we will be doing that so we’ll be shipping those out here soon to the winners from that drawing so if you have Instagram and are interested in potentially winning a free hat jump on
Instagram and find that video so back to to the brakes we uh pretty straightforward it’s it’s on now said they’re gripping they’re stopping it’s making a pretty good noise I don’t know if you guys can hear that it’s not terrible oo that’s a little loose I got the uh fancy setup for the
Actual brake lever that has the uh dropper post lever to slide into it so I don’t have to use a separate clamp for that so that’ll be nice whenever I get that all set back up again PMW dropper post lever cuz I love PMW and look I
Went back to the uh oil slick Vans ODI I love these I think they made some new ones I might have to try to find out for sure if I uh if I recall I was searching around a little bit on uh oh geez what was it on
Uh bikes online the polygon website and I saw that they may have some new ones so if that is the case I’m may have to jump on and grab them because I Loved These and these sold out really quick when I originally purchased them which
Was really sad but it is what it is at the end of the day but I remember I think I had two or three different sets of these actually when I bought these originally just because I liked them so much I pretty much just buy Vans ODI
Grips anymore I believe my bud Kyle Woods Woods Warrior he also rides these now I remember he tried one at a Ray’s indoor mountain bike park if I recall and he just kind of fell in love with him too yeah we’re going to end up having to shorten this cable up a
Little bit sticking out pretty good but all right let me get my fancy little uh my little cheater and we’ll throw that on sometimes this thing works terrific other times it doesn’t usually it works pretty good but it’s a I don’t even remember what this is like honestly
Like I got it from Amazon a long time ago but it’s basically just a thin little little thin sheet of metal that goes on your your brake your rotor and then you feed it through and the way I do it or I’ve always done it that’s going the
Wrong way here we go the way I’ve always done it I set this tire on my my wheel somehow is I’ll put it in then I’ll just slowly feed it through there it goes and wait for it to pop out the top and then I’ll typically
Actually I’ll break it a couple times to try to make sure CU it’s loose right now I’ll break it or hold the brake and then I’ll slowly go from top to bottom just kind of snug it down while I’m holding pressure cuz I feel like while you’re holding the
Actual lever down it aligns it just a little bit better and don’t forget these bolts have that blue lock tight so you really don’t have to go super super tight with these and usually you’ll get away with a maybe slight disrup so that one’s rubing pretty bad
So and that’s what I meant I don’t know if my rotor’s actually a little old oh my rotor is old but it is what it is we have to get it adjusted a little bit and see what it does but how’s everyone doing tonight hope everyone’s doing
Okay I mentioned it a little bit in the video in the beginning but towards the end of this video we will be doing a giveaway we’re going to I think we’re going to give away a Amazon gift card is what we’re going to give away this time so going to stick around for
That I’ll uh write all your guys’ names down and I’ll put them in a hat like I usually do and then I’ll draw it’s rubbing oh it’s rubbing pretty good oh I might just go and shorten the brake hose a little bit and then we can
Adjust that later I’m not going to have you guys be stuck on me doing that I do want to show you one of my most favorite tools so what does it say a tpri tow PRI this thing is freaking remarkable when it comes to shortening actual brake cables I have
Absolutely love this thing I’m going to pin the wheel a little bit so it’ll stop moving on me so forgive me while I rotate this ever so slightly see if we get to doing that so it works pretty easily I’ll move the camera actually here in a second too so
It’s a little bit closer hopefully that looks okay sorry if it doesn’t look the best know it’s kind of dark back here but it does a couple different things with the actual with the that the wrong size with the actual brake itself but it’ll hold the cable and everything in
Place while you go to uh insert the Barb and everything I’m try not to lose too much oil from this aha cool yeah let me show you this so it does a super super clean cut so it has a oh my Razor shifted on me a little
Bit so it has a really nice razor so we’ll use it to cut real quick just to remove this old one I mean like a super super clean cut I love how clean that cut is so let’s go and size this a little bit we’ll see how much we need to take off
Uh I me since it’s the front it doesn’t really got to be super long I think that’ll be pretty good I’m going to take off a little bit here down to back here so we’ll let that dangle for a second don’t forget if you are doing
This to shorten a Brak hose you’re most likely going to lose a little bit of fluid so you might have to do a small or slight bleed so just a heads up here they are I say I KN I had some extras so you’ll need an extra Olive and
Barb if you’re doing this as well so we’ll take the Olive and the Barb out all right so you’ll want I’ll take it all off real quick so you got the protective kind of like sleeve that goes over it all I dropped a little the main bolt so
This and this is what kind of compresses it all together when you’re tightening it down I will typically take the Olive and just throw it on with that clean cut you can typically get away with putting it in a little bit there and that’s where this really cool
Tool comes into play so you actually loosen that so this actually inserts the bar my phone just ding sorry guys so we’ll tighten this all together hopefully you guys can see that okay so that screws in there’s a tiny little needle on this that actually goes into the Barb itself and you literally
Just tighten it down and just squeezes it all together and inserts it absolutely love how that works and you’re just trying to get the top of the bar pretty well flush with the hose itself you’re not trying to jam this in there so once it gets pretty well flush
Blush you can undo it but man it’s so nice it just holds it all in place and all together so there’s that little kind of like Barb holder right there you can see that razor right there yeah that screws come loose a little bit so the
Razor slid down so I have to tighten that down but makes absolutely super clean cuts and then that holds the actual hose in place which is just I mean it just works so nice yeah this thing was like 20 bucks if I recall is on Amazon absolutely a terrific
Tool for working on brakes all right so now you’re going to want to push your Olive kind of to the top get it just a little over so because whenever you insert this it’s going to kind of all compress whenever you start tightening it you
Want to make sure you get that seated in there pretty good so I’ll insert it all and kind of push in a little bit to hold pressure and then I’ll start to screw it in kind of get it fingertight once I get it a little bit fingertight then I’ll go back to
Grabbing my fancy little Park Tool wrench something really I wasn’t paying attention what the size it was something really funny okay that was the right size about these little wrenches which I’ll show you in just a second so and now now you’re this is where you start to
Compress that oh that’s not tight all together you’re not going in super super tight with this so see how my hose is starting to twist a little bit I’ll loosen it a bit once I had that and then kind of twist back and usually you can get it to
Where it’ll stop doing that on you CU you don’t want it to do that but once you get all this nice and tight I will take this cover back up and just like that so not too much work there so here much better length now not nearly as long as it
Was so good easy peasy makes me happy all right let’s put this back here so yeah these wrenches fun fact it’s funny how many people give me grief over the fact that I own these they say they were a waste of money and they say that they’re silly
To own and I can’t believe you spend the money on these I got these from walmart.com for like $2 a piece and like I understand that people see Park Tool and they’re like oh man park tools got to be super expensive Park Tool is not always super expensive sometimes you get
Lucky and you get deals like that so I don’t know it’s just people crack me up when they think they know everything and they’ll like just judge you and yell at you just because they can it’s like I don’t understand understand how some people just like will I think there’s
Justification in the fact to give someone a hard time because they think something else is expensive or not but it’s just it’s funny to me that that’s how some people are so yeah I’ll show you that real quick yeah I never it must be a must be a two see
Here check this out see that little screw right there just backed itself out a little bit so I guess we’ll back them both out of smidge and we’ll kind of see we get that blade to push down looks like it’s where it needs to be we’ll see if that blade gets touch oh
Yeah it’s touching it’s touching the blade so I’m guessing those screws don’t like have any locktite or anything on them that’s the first one I’ve ever had that so interesting hopefully that’ll be okay now though make it just a little snug yeah if you guys work on brakes and you ever
Have to like cut your hydraulic hoses or anything this tool is absolutely terrific I can’t believe how many times I’ve used this tool and like just been impressed with it all right let’s do the I guess we’ll put the rear brake on now I’ll have to size the rear brake as well
Cuz I’m not 100% sure what bike this was on for Kio we’ll try to have to move some stuff around W also fun fact sadly this front tire is not holding air so we’ll have to figure that out also I don’t know if you guys have seen
The build the build video or not for this yet but I’m in the process of making this a single speed is is what it’s going to be so I was working on this and I thought this would be the right spacer adapter and it it’s not it’s just it’s not right
So I was hoping to make it work it was not not working so that’s where that’s why I got the second adapter I’ll set this up here so I can read it while I’m working yeah this one should be pretty easy swap as well but I won’t be able to
Break this one or use the brakes on this one because he sent it to me on attached I’m guessing he had it on a bike that was a like a had the hoses in it are internally routed bike where mine is externally routed so I’m just going to let all that drop I
Don’t need any of it because the new one has it but I knew this wasn’t the right adapter to use but I just kind of wanted to try it and see what it did and it definitely was not right which I was aware of so after we get these brakes on this
Bike the only thing I believe I have left to do is get a crank set and we should be able to finish it hey what’s up Colin oh yeah Colin you got a good point in my opinion like if it works it works so and that’s the other thing though too
I mean no matter what you buy and what tool you’re using if it works for you terrific and that’s I mean everyone’s going to have different experiences you can read reviews and stuff all you want but sadly the truth is sometimes lemons happen and you just have to be realistic
About it I mean it sucks when it happens and it happens to you and I don’t want that to happen to you but sometimes it happens and I not trying to be negative but you know it it it it’s one of those things so same thing nice purple one again
These are pretty cool I really like these a lot and they’re about half the price of the other ones so but you can see it says the f f180 on there so but no it fit the front one perfect so we’re good there we’ll put this one
In the rear let see bolts longer at one and we’ll just rinse wash and repeat then we’ll sit and chill for a minute and wait for a couple people to get on and then we’ll start working on doing that giveaway to see who wins cuz I like giveaways giveaways are fun giveaways
Are like an easy way for me to show appreciation to you guys so my last giveaway winner never messaged me which I was kind of disappointed in but it happens he may not have wanted what the giveway was for so all right so this bad boy
On I’ve had this NS this NS Ecentric for what 3 years now oh maybe that won’t work like that I’ve had this InCentric going on I believe 3 years and it is is absolutely a terrific bike if if you’re looking for a nice hard tail and you don’t have one 100%
Recommend this this bike I don’t even know if they have new models or not of it what it looks like nowadays anymore but man spike is terrific it did everything I ever threw at it when it was my main when it was my main my main seed terrific terrific
Bicycle I know I had a lot of people asking questions about it and stuff when I did the original build of it we’ll try to just eyeball this one a little bit since I can’t p a Bor clever to clamp it down we’ll see what happens might try
To all right we’ll just try to throw this over a little bit might just kind of followed up and zip tie it cuz like I said I’ll probably end up I’d like to go ahead and get it sized and stuff real quick since we have it all out and we’re
Working on it no reason not to right since we’re here oh Phantom good question sorry I’m just now getting to your comment sorry if it’s been there for a minute but this is my NS Ecentric uh it was originally matte black so when people see it they’re kind of confused by it because
This isn’t the original color and a lot of people who have them have them under matte black uh I had a I have a bud who actually owns a car detailing shop and he painted it for me so I asked him to do this really cool paint Scheme it’s
Like a it’s basically a uh a little bit of disc rub there right there yeah so those maybe if I just ride a little bit it’ll fix itself as those I said those rotors were about three years old I mean they’re pretty old but yeah so originally this was a matte black NS
Ecentric absolutely trail bike with 203 mm front aggressive yes in fact a very aggressive hard tail it is technically in the category of Hardcore hard tail which is a 65° head head angle up front there’s like weird parameters to be considered a hardcore hard tail there’s
Like people who like argue over like it being a just a hardcore hard tail or like the actual definition of a hardcore hard tail it’s like a subcategory I like you kind of like have cross country bikes and you know trail bikes and now andero bikes and downhill bikes but I
Guess this is technically a a little subcategory of hard tail so it’s a hardcore hard tail but there are people who ride hard Tales hardcore and there are people who own hardcore hard tailes so I used to be part of a group on Facebook that was Hardcore hard tales
And it was one for like the specific diameters or like specifications of a actual hardcore hard tail and like there were always these arguments of people like yelling at each other like well I ride my bar hardcore so it’s a hardcore hard tail it was always really funny
Like post the meme of Michael Jackson eating popcorn whenever they were going at each other’s throats over it it’s just like guys who cares but it was pretty funny though just how people would react to that kind of stuff so we’ll grab my fancy container of zip ties see I probably
Need what four or five of these and little zip Tire up through those are way too long I don’t want those ones that’s the issue with this I love this these zip tires but man trying to grab ones that like are the proper size is a headache cuz there’s just so
Many we’ll keep the bike facing this way so you guys can still see it all right so I’m guessing we’ll just follow through yeah yeah we’ll just follow her oh Sirens there goes my friends in case any of you are wondering I say there goes my friends oh gosh because I’m a paramedic
On mat fire so anytime I hear the ambulance sirens it’s my friends from work going for a call so if you didn’t know that that’s why I say that so yeah we’ll do just a nice soft fitting on this real quick and we’ll get everything kind of put up in
Place and together and we’ll see what she looks like it’s going to look like a bike all I all I really need left are cranks and a saddle I think that’s all I have left huh I’m going have to skip that one cuz it’s in the
Clamp so we’ll do that in a second I should be able to get it to be pretty Ste and close to the right size this one first so so yeah that’ll be close I’ll just have to once I take it off the actual Oracle I’ll to type that one down there’s that there’s
That easy enough looks good right all right turn myicr these live feeds always confuse me cuz like I’m doing stuff and I’m trying to talk to you guys as well and I lose track of what I’m doing and I try not to as I still want to work on the bike but
I still want to talk to you guys at the same time oh gosh so we’ll grab the other lever so so far this is going pretty good pretty straightforward the nice thing is it’s going to be a single speed holy cow that is really long I’m going to have to take off a
Bunch golly G Willer Mar they got stuck so the nice thing is since it’s the fancy the deor style it’s just an open clamp so I should be able to just slide it over and clamper on and tighten it down we’ll try nice put it back yeah baby let’s
Go reach surely that’s not a five okay it’s a four that’s what I was thinking I was looking at it I do like that the brake lovers can do that we’ll have to pull her out once I get the brake sized I got to remember though
That this CU I I want to squeeze it real bad because I like to size it while it’s up here and like where I would actually have it or not have it so okay it feels pretty good there I think it’ll be good there cool so I have to size that and
Use my fancy brake thing again and we’ll install that one then we should be sitting pretty good I think oh gosh we got comments sorry hey what’s up John uh all right answer call hey what’s up Blair how you doing buddy airport fiery I think airport
No I do work for we have an ARF division so I do work on the actual uh the the airport truck at our little we have a tiny airport so like nothing super big but legally they have to have some form of apparatus out there that’s that can
Be man so onom the AR truck but I don’t typically spend time on it what’s John saying I did my first break hydraulic cable install and bleed last week yeah man it’s not too bad honestly I’m glad I’m glad it wasn’t too bad John but yeah we’re uh slowly doing this
One I uh I mentioned it already once in the video but I know kind of The Way live beeds work people come off and on so I ended up getting these brakes off of my good bed my good bud Kio gave me a good deal on these and hooked me up so
Now we’re just kind of working on it and trying to get it all set up I was showing off this tool a little bit ago I’ll show it off again and uh this is the tool I use for like sizing up my hydraulic hoses and everything and it is just so just so
Nice say about 20 bucks give or take on a no Amazon so let’s try a size this honestly I mean that should be pretty stinking close as well I’m taking chunks off this Kio what size bike did these come off of I’m guessing it was internally routed
But man this is so yeah check this look at that such a clean cut and I’m dripping oil everywhere that’s okay though I’ll do a bleed on them anyhow but I mean I don’t know how good you can actually see that but that is such a clean
Cut it makes the installation of the new Barb super easy uh speaking of the new Barb where’ I put it I had it a second ago I’ll show you up here there are they’re up on my little kit enjoy the cold weather yeah this cold weather is miserable man I uh it’s
Like I don’t even know 10 degrees today the wind chills terrible that’s why I’ve had the heater on all day in here and it was finally starting to warm up but of course I have the heater off now for the live feed itself so whenever you go to
Do this make sure you put these things back on you got your little your little cover actually here let me want to lose a little bit more it’s fine let me scoop for this up a little bit forther further closer so you guys can see a little bit
Better there we go awesome so here try this again so what I’ll typically do is I’ll slide this cover back on oh where’s my bolt bolt with the threads up on you can just kind of set those back and forget them I’ll also go and put the olive on
So I’ll put the olive on and throw it down there now I take this fancy tool it’ll unscrew this part this is kind of like the Barb Pusher this is the hose holder the hose clamp and you’re going to squeeze oh kind of hard to do this onehanded I guess I’m using two
Hands but you’ll put that in there and then you’ll take this back a little bit and it’s might be hard to see on that little camera or this camera but there’s actually a tiny needle on the top of this that will hold the Barb itself actually we have to scoop the
Hose back a little bit there we go so we’ll put It’s probably hard to see but yeah so that just literally holds the Barb and you go to screw this in and it just puts it all together nice and while you’re tightening this all up you’re just putting that barb the the
End of the Barb to make it flush with your hose so you’re not trying to tighten this down in there super super hard just kind of making it flush and oh I I’m doing I’m opening that and boom easy peasy so now what I do is I’ll take the
Olive and push it up to the top push it all together grab my oh where is it the cover in the bolt now and start hand and I’m I’m kind of pushing the hose in to keep it in place as I’m tightening this by hand to start with
There we go and then I will grab my little wrench again and we’ll start to throw it all together and we’ll kind of tighten this down you’re uh not hammering this little bolt in fun fact you’re just trying to make it decently snug whenever you like it’s getting pretty tight I would
Stop I kind of I’m holding the hose to keep from turning a little bit asz once it gets too tight the grab the hose itself will start to twist it as well but you’re just trying to compress all this together that Olive will squish down and kind of make an airtight seal
With the Barb itself but I fun fact I have actually tightened one of these down too much and stripped out the inside of my brake lever body so that can be done so be really careful with that and don’t do that well heck scooter back she got brakes easy
Peasy yeah love this thing I’m sure you can find a bunch of different styles on Amazon but I think it’s terrific for working on brakes just makes it so much easier I used to use these for actually uh cutting the the hose itself which these did fine but it’s just impressive
How like clean of a cut this razor makes it absolutely blows my mind it is so nice huh I’ll have to do some fine tuning with the brakes and stuff but yeah I’ll probably end up having to bleed a little bit but no I was planning on bleeding
The the hose or the brakes anyhow so nothing super crazy there that’s an easy thing to do let me pull up my iPad real quick and see where we’re at and see we got people commenting now so I’m trying to I need to stay up sorry guys kind of
Was trying to finish that break job real quick so we had that done all right what do we got H where we at yeah did you use that same tool John how much was the tool like I said I think it’s like $20 give or take if I
Recall 20 24 something some in that in that price range give or take uh I just bought one of those tow PRI things waiting for the breakes to come in so I could do my first Hydro very nice man what breaks did you go with I’ve ran
Pretty much every break I can think of now ran trps I’ve ran I typically run shanos trps I’ve gotten some like noname ones before that’s what’s on the Alx the dollar it’s still doing fine those brakes are everything means are just mineral oil so I’ll just flip them out and stuff and
Bleed them with my Shimano stuff so it works no problem ever install banjo ends I have not Blair I have to check those out do you recommend bolans something off AliExpress don’t remember the name nice I mean a lot of that stuff is like from the same places
Anyhow so they usually work pretty well so it’s hard to like say no hey what’s up James glad I can catch you live where you can do a component rundown on the NS I may a Miss yeah sure James I can absolutely do that bud so as of right
Now where we sit with the NSS entric so I’ll try to walk through you front and back on it where we’re at right now and what I have so it’s got just some basic oh uh the the the WTB whe set it’s nothing crazy it actually came from this white frame
Up here uh originally that bike was uh single track Jacks Jackie it was his bike and I ended up buying it from him uh we switched we switched his wheel set to 275 so these are 29ers which is what I ran on the NS entric originally so I
Switched that out for him and he just told me I could keep the 29ers so just some basic 29er boost wheel set nice wheel set it’ll work for a single speed so after saying that this is going to be a single speed I’ve got a spank single
Cog set just in the rear I bought that when I built up my evil faction dirt jumper which fun fact real quick I will end up riding my evil faction next weekend which is the weekend of the 21st because I’m going to Rays so if you are
Around rays and you will be riding on next Saturday hit me up let me know so I can say hi and we can ride for a little bit so I’ll be at Ray pretty much all day next Saturday but so this is going to be my single speed so basic
Wtbs uh it’s got WTB tires as well I think vigilante in the front vigilante in the back maybe question mark let me check oh Trail Boss so Trail Boss in the rear so nothing super crazy there just nice wheel set he didn’t really ride a
Ton so I think the wheels will be fine uh once it gets a little bit warmer I’ll get it out on the trail and we’ll try it and we’ll see what it does and how the wheels hold up and stuff but right now this is kind of a parts bin bu build so
The original actual rotors which I’m a little concerned about the rotors we’ll see how they do but the rotors are about three years old and I think that might be a little like caddy Wampus so we’ll see I’ve kind of had them in a bin and I
Think they may have gotten a little warped but we’ll see what happens there PMW dropper post PMW dropper lever PMW range handlebars absolutely love PMW components if if you guys have watched my channel you know that I have my rock shocks Revelation up front which has had
The charger and damper change so it’s like a rock shocks ultimate Revelation ultimate basically so I did that I have a video of me doing that a couple years ago uh but yeah it should be a just a pretty nice single speed bike uh I don’t
Know what I’m going to do for my crank set I believe I’m going to do a here I’ll show you I believe I’m going to do a Shram because I actually bought this off of a bud for a good price and it’s shed up set up for a actual dub
Bottom bracket or uh crank arm so nice oval this is my very first five Dev part and I know they make really high-end nice products I think I paid $40 for this shipped to me something like that brand new I only never used it but it’s
Got the it’s a 32 oal so since I uh will be using a shirely single later on it which I don’t think this is open yet this is going to have a video at some point in time this is one of my favorite chain tensioners I think this thing is
Terrific and you can flip it up or down which is absolutely terrific uh rotor straightening tool I absolutely have one so I’m hoping I could actually do that first before I have to purchase new ones so you guys have your levers of packs though H in the states we do in the
States we do sorry let me catch up real quick uh 22 okay so that’s not too bad for that tool then uh if you guys see John de’s comment the tool he is talking about is this tool for shortening brake hoses which is absolutely terrific and for 22
It’s not too bad in my opinion it works absolutely phenomenal uh now we’re going to get to since I got the brakes install we get to like the interaction part which is my favorite part because I know I’m just kind of like working on a bike and doing
Stuff and it’s a little boring so sorry about that but uh if you are just now joining we are going to be doing a giveaway here soon I’m going to start taking down names as well and putting them in a chicken Cindy’s hat maybe I’ll just put them in this hat my hair
Probably looks really good right now about do for a haircut what is this hat I don’t even remember the classics I don’t remember this brand finl it’s got a little hidden Pocket in here which is pretty cool I like that I love this hat
Had it for a while so all right I don’t know if you saw my real SLX lever was pooched plastic B inside shattered found an XT lever just waiting on it I don’t think I did see that Blair I’m really bad about fun fact I’m really bad about
Just like sitting and scrolling and like watching things and like that’s not like a personal jab at anyone or anything especially because like I make content so but like I’ll post content but like I don’t ever just sit there and watch which I feel terrible about cuz I try to
Get on and respond and answer questions or respond to like messages but like because I have a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old I’m usually pretty busy playing dad so I don’t really have a lot of time like on my phone just for scrolling and stuff so I don’t so if I
Do miss stuff I do apologize if there’s other video you want me to watch please send it to me messenger I try to watch in there so yeah I’ll I’ll definitely check that out though after this I’ll go to your page I’ll go to your Instagram
And I’ll I’ll watch it uh I have yet to buy a perfectly flat rotor I just think it happens I have a couple different options and tools for bending it or fixing it this is the one I have that I typically use it’s a found one and it works really well for fixing
It so I’ll probably eyeball it and see what’s wrong with it and I’ll just try to I’ll try to fix it and see if I can get it there I should be able to so I might just take a little TLC just a just a little love in there uh just picked up
A used PMW range and orange oh yes I love PMW right now they’re doing a 40% off I’m not 100% sure what all 40 what all is all 40% I don’t know if it’s the whole website or not but I got their I got an email saying saying that they had
40% off so maybe it’s off of stuff in general like the whole website which would be terrific if that is the actual case so but maybe someone else on here knows but I know I got the email and I meant to check it out but yeah I I love PMW stuff
So uh yeah I’ll probably try and just to straighten that and we’ll see if I can make that work let’s put some of the stuff away real quick yeah I think this is going to be a pretty fun single speed I am excited to get it up and running
Again cuz if any of you have been on this channel for a while you know that I absolutely love this bike I mean I rode this bike pretty much for everything for Solid 3 years it did everything I ever put it through it was a terrific frame
It’s the aluminum frame it’s not very heavy it rides terrific I’m going to take it out of the stand in a second and cut some of these cables and get that last uh zip tie on it and then hopefully I’ll be able to get the actual crank set whatever I deci
Deci side to go with and get the crank set installed then we’ll be able to ride it cuz that’s really all we’re waiting on I’ll show you the other parts I have for it here in a second after I get some of these tools put back just take me a
Second because I technically have the build done besides the crank set and saddle so we’re sitting pretty good there and as I mentioned uh the video I was working on was the brakes we have the brakes installed now uh MTB Kio sent me those brakes so huge shout out to MTB
Kio for hooking me up with those 41 for handlebars on site okay so yeah they are they are on sale all right so five Dev ring for the crank set whatever I go with I got the Shirley singulator which is just a really nice chain tensioner I love this thing it was
On so why I’m building this bike single speed uh my Schwin axom the graum as Captain’s Cog actually named it for me uh my my schwi axim was stolen and that was set up as my single speed it was basically a single speed CR cross country build I love that bike it was
Terrific had a really nice rock shock sit up front Kio so me the sit as well 100 mm for cup front with a lock out it was a very nice bike a very nice single speed and someone decided to steal it so I was without a single speed trying to
Figure out what I wanted to do and wanted to build up another single speed so I decided to put this back to use and here we are we’ll be turning this one into a single speed uh I forgot I had these so I have some W to purple spacers we’ll
End up CU that’s actually two of these so we’ll end up putting both we’ll take that silver one off we’ll put one on the bottom one on top we’ll do that here soon too and uh we’ll get that done hose for the actual dropper just went with a black Zony
Single speed chain I mean it’s just a chain so very very heavy I was very excited about these I forgot I had these but I actually just had someone comment on the video for these these pedals have seen some things holy cow I had these pedals but since I had before this bike
I think I originally got these pedals with my Canyon strive which was actually before I started the YouTube channel so I had like when I first got into mountain biking a little history of Mr Cindy my very first bike was a GT aggressor Pro and that’s kind of got me into Budget
Building uh I built that bike up pretty significantly I mean I probably dropped ,000 into it not really like knowing what I was doing between like buying the dropper post switching to a 1 by10 which at the time was a Shimano I think it was just Shimano Shadow I know it it’s
Called like the shadow technology but I don’t remember if it was XT or SL I think it was deor it was deor Shadow so this been like four or five years ago probably five years ago because I think I’m getting ready to start my sixth
Season writing but I uh so my very first bike I ever owned yeah nice Phantom I think the GG aggressive Pro is a terrific beginner bike uh I wish GT would switch it up a little bit I wish that they would start it with like a one
Buy or something because I mean you get the three by crank up front and it’s just a little excessive and it’s heavy and you have the square I mean it’s it is what it is by 34th season that’s awesome John I’m hoping to make it that
Far but uh I think a one by on it would really make a big difference just in the sense of like beginner friendliness and like I don’t know like whenever I look at a Walmart bike nowadays like I’m not necessarily trying to be harsh when I look at mountain bikes that are at
Walmart but like I look at it from like the eyes of like someone who a wants to potentially upgrade it because a lot of people that are buying Walmart bikes are most likely going to go straight to Youtube and start watching hey how do I upgrade this specific mountain bike how
Do I upgrade this specific mountain bike it’s not just like you know best budget mountain bikes because once they do that they notice oh man I’m way over my head and this Walmart bike is like a 20th the price of some of these expensive mountain bikes which if you guys watch
Any of my channels or any of the stuff on my channel you know I go from budget all the way to decently expensive I mean I have a titanium bike frame that was $2,000 just for the bike frame and I’m not saying that to be like hey look at
Me I’m just saying that because I think it’s fair to be able to say hey I’ve rode budget bikes but I’ve also ridden high-end bikes so like I can give you more of an honest opinion as opposed to just only riding budget bikes and being like hey this is the best budget bike
I’ve ever ridden where I now have real world experience to be able to give you more honest opinions of like hey this budget bike is actually pretty good it’s like comparatively so but I guess that might be justification for spending the money also but I’m fortunate enough to
Be able to afford that so you know I I do it and I you know I I ride the bike pretty hard as well and binary the maniac I have is a terrific bike and and the the owners of the company have reached out a couple times have been
Very nice to me and are very very friendly people so I’m I’m very happy to support them but uh I I do believe that like when you’re looking at Walmart bikes there’s now an obvious difference between like hey this is a really good bike to start with to potentially
Upgrade or hey this is a budget bike that like if you’re going to buy this is for like Mom and Dad to ride around town and not to really take on like any kind of Trail so you know there’s it’s like a really weird line so like you compare it
To like the GT aggressor Pro where in my opinion is a terrific bike for taking on the trails but when you give it to a brand new bike rider you have 21 gears to figure out between like the seven maybe it’s an eight speed in the R I
Think it’s a seven and three up front but like if for some reason the bike’s not shifting now they have to learn how to shift you know mess with a rear derailer and a front derer so like giving someone a on by eight just to start with is just so much more
Simplistic in my opinion because you’re trying to teach them how to shift up front and in the rear and to meet like the proper you know like ranges to keep the chain line happy in compar you know in comparison with each other and it’s just difficult and it’s like it’s it’s
Almost overwhelming in a sense when you first start so you get something like a Schwin a some more like the k where you’re like oh I need to go you know in a higher gear just cuz this you know I’m going to climb or I need to go faster so
I need to go to a smaller Cog so it just kind of depends like I guess how you’re looking at it but there there’s been a pretty big shift in my opinion and and what kind of bike you can get for the price so it’s kind of interesting there
I’m like 99% sure blaired is still a straight steer I would love for them to go to a taper but that would require of course a whole new like molding system however they make it and I’m pretty sure they just paint them different colors every year but they’ve come out with
Some really cool colors now but uh Ozark Trail so here’s the deal and I’m not a super big YouTube channel and like I would love to do an Ozark Trail video but when I was doing the Kint travel video giveaway it was wild how many people would like reach
Out to me and be like you’re just doing that because of a bigger named YouTuber’s done this video and I’m just like man it’s it’s hard to want to do videos where they’ve been done now by bigger channels because like I don’t know I I
Don’t want to do that like step on toes but like I’m such a small Channel I really wouldn’t be stepping on anyone’s toes but then you get those comments and it’s pretty disheartening where like you know I kind of started my channel on doing budget builds and then like I have
To deal with that and like I’m not a very confrontational person like I’m a very optimistic outgoing happy person and like I don’t want to have to deal with that so it’s almost easier for me just to avoid that in its entirety but like I would love to buy noark Trail and
Build it up I think it would be a very fun nice bike and I think that’d be one of the most perfect bikes to do another giveaway with because I did the giveaway with the Kint travail because I mean it’s a terrific budget bike to start
With and I think the Ozark Trail is right there with it so I I think the Ozark show would be a great is a great choice for sure wolf dick has some really great stuff over that as well so definitely check out wolf Dick’s videos on their Ozark the binary is a nice
Frame and for thae frame it’s not that expensive you know it’s really funny you say that James because I was looking at titanium bikes and I was like holy cow and then I saw the price of the maniac and I was like that’s actually better and it wasn’t on like just the normal
Price I was like huh interesting because yeah they get up there I was holy cow but I really like the binary Maniac a ton I mean it’s a terrific bike and it is a monster of a bike it is a beast says colins says I have a GT Avalanche
And I’ve spent heaps on it too it’s so easy to like start upgrading the bike and the next thing you know you’ve got way more more in it than you meant to which is pretty fun but all right so starting now what I need you guys to do
Is just put a high in the comment okay just put a hi hello or something because I’m going to start writing down names for the giveaway uh I think we’re going to do a $20 Amazon gift card I mean that’s a decent amount you can buy
Whatever you want with it so uh we’ll uh we’ll do a $20 Amazon giveaway uh what I’ll need you to do with whoever wins is I will need you to just put I I’ll give you my email address and you can email me and then I’ll just
Email you the gift card after the live Fe so let me get something to write on so we can start writing down names I’m going to use a blue shop tow again I got a Sharpie Perfect all right so let’s start doing this this is my favorite part when I do
Live Fe I try to make them last about an hour and we’re almost at an hour now so we’re gonna go and start doing the giveaway I’ll refrain so someone else can win I appreciate that John I’m GNA I’m going to go and put your name in it okay I respect I respect
What you’re saying but I’m GNA go and put your name in there John so maybe that way if you win it you can give it to somebody else that you know personally or maybe I won’t draw your name at all we don’t have to cross the bridge so put John to
Four I know Blair was on here so I see quite a few comments so I’m just going to give you guys a little bit to actually and we’ll probably do the the drawing here in about five minutes give or take once I get some people commenting down below for it and as I
Mentioned in the the beginning of the video one of the reasons I like doing Amazon gift cards is because if you don’t live in the United States I can get on that website for wherever you live and get you the appropriate uh denomination of money you need to be
Able to use the $20 so it’ll be the equivalent to $20 wherever you are so got John Blair are you still around got Blair Colin are you still on hey what’s up Amber all right uh I know you’re just now on so I’m GNA go and put your name
Down but we’re actually in the process of doing a giveaway right now so a in there’s Colin hey Colin hey what’s up Jeremy how you doing buddy I get your name down all right Jeremy you’re just now jumping on I don’t know if you’ve been on
So all right got John got Blair got Colin got a Mt be got Jeremy uh Phantom are you still around bud I know you were commenting a little bit ago I know maybe you had to jump off so hey what’s up buddy good I got your name down who was it that commented
Our lovers are on the wrong side was that Colin yeah it was Callin I’ve been on about an hour I’m glad you got on Jeremy so we got the uh the brakes put on the uh the NS Ecentric I’ll give it just a little bit
Let’s uh get it off the rack real quick here I’d imagine it’s going to be pretty light if you’re now just joining guys we’re going to be doing a giveaway here in a minute so just put High down in the comments so I can be sure to write your name
Down I’ll go over a couple things here in a second as well what’s up James so I’m really hoping to man uh it’s like I was without internet I don’t know if you knew this or not but I was without internet for like 3 months it was very
Very frustrating uh the company I was trying to go through told me I was good to go then I wasn’t good to go so I wasn’t even able to like live stream or upload or I was very very annoyed and frustrated and it is what it is at the
End of the day but typically I tried like in the heat of it all you know I mentioned at the beginning of the video that my daughter was in the hospital so that’s why I not had an upload for a little bit so sorry about that but my
Daughter was in the hospital I didn’t have the internet and I finally got internet again and it just been a little bit of a cluster but in the heat uh whenever I was like doing really really good and keeping up on the YouTube which I’m really hoping to get back too is I
Was doing one live feed a week and I was doing one upload a week is what I was trying to do so I’d really like to be able to get back to that the issue is with the live feeds I’m never 100% sure
When I can do them so a lot of times I just jump on and start a live feed so like I don’t know if I can plan them out maybe be a little bit better for me but we’ll figure it out yeah thing looking nice looks like a
Bike got those on brakes are on oh yeah yeah the heaviest is the fork it’s so heavy up front that’s going to be nice yeah that front tire is flat about to figure that out that is a sharp looking bike man I’ve always loved this NS
Centry it has always just been such a nice bike we’ll have to get this thing wrapped up and finished here soon all right let me get back to the names on the list I don’t want to keep you guys too long what’s up Richard I’ll get your name down
All right did I write down James yet nope James I have not James you’re down Richard got you down all right three months that’s crazy yeah I appreciate it man my daughter so my daughter had what was called orbital cellulitis uh basically it’s like a formative infection and it’s below her orbital
Socket it could have moved up into her eye but she ended up having something viral underneath it as well they were just pumping her little body full of antibiotics and finally got to the point to where she was still having a fever and it clicked with us that hey it’s
Probably not something that the antibiotics are going to offend baby it’s just viral so they went ahead and sent her home finally but she was in the hospital for about 4 days it was pretty rough she wasn’t doing good and a 5-year-old stuck in the hospital for 4
Days is not ideal so but thankfully she’s home and everyone’s well and healthy now so hopefully I can get all this set up because I was actually plan on making this uh the break’s an actual break video I was hoping to do a actually have an introduction and stuff
Like recorded and everything so I have to do something different for the video but just a heads up I may not have a video this week now because of this but we’ll figure it out so last one I had was Richard Richard I got you on here I
Already got Fantom on here uh Phantom says do you run tubless I got sick of having slashed tires and having switched to Tannis armor so on my actual bike that I ride the most I have Tannis I either run Tannis armor or I run the uh
Kush core couldn’t think of it for a second so I do one of those two and I’ve noticed a huge difference this front tire is actually tubeless with nothing in it so I’ll probably end up filling it up again because I filled it up with air
And I don’t know if it just needs more sealant because there’s a hole somewhere or not but I’ll figure it out and honestly worst case there I’ll just tube it and call it because the rear is actually tubed so the front’s tubeless the rear is tubed my bud took it
Whenever he was riding those tires he actually took it to rays and end up getting a flat and he was running tubless so we just threw a tube in it to make it easier to fix so got John Blair Colin Mt beer Jeremy Phantom James and Richard so let’s cut these
Up and I shared at the beginning of the video I’ll share again real quick for you if you guys have Instagram we’re actually doing a chicken Cindy’s hat giveaway on Instagram so pretty easy to enter you just got to find my chicken cindies account just type in chicken
Cindies on Instagram you should find it I have an actual video of me talking about those hats and basically you just have to comment the the video itself has the instructions so if uh you want to win one of the three chicken Cindy hats I’ll be doing that drawing here pretty soon
So I’m in the process right now if you’re just joining cutting up names for a Amazon gift card giveaway uh if you want entered I need you to put hi in the comments so I know you’re here uh if you join a live feed I don’t know
Who joins or when you joined or anything like that so I don’t know if you’re here unless you actually put a comment so put a comment so I know you’re here and I can put your name in for the giveaway so we uh got all that taken
Care of but yeah chicken Cindy’s hats are in the making chicken Cindy t-shirts this one’s a small I definitely need a medium uh this is the only size I could find that was fitting me currently and it doesn’t even fit super well but it just got a nice cool chicken C logo on
The chest right here it’s the C logo one so pretty nice and straightforward there so basically here soon we are going to be doing a like a little chicken Cindy store basically uh my sister for Christmas got me set up she got me in contact with somebody to start
Doing t-shirts and hats so I don’t know if it’s just going to be a website 100% cuz we’re still kind of working on the whole situation and getting it all figured out but I’m really excited over it and I’m pretty I’m pretty cool of my sister to do that for me because I’m
Really bad about selling myself or about like asking you know like you guys to buy stuff and whatnot it’s like I don’t want to do that but I know some of you have wanted t-shirts and some of you have wanted hats so it seems like a pretty cool way to actually support the
Channel and support me and represent the chicken cindies if that’s what you want to do so all right I’ve not had anyone else comment so I’m going to guess assume that what we have right here is what we have let me I don’t know myir hair looks sorry so I’ll start putting
Names in here uh the only rules I had is whenever I draw your name you have to comment okay because oh if you win you need to be here all right what do we got drawing sh Jeremy Taylor I know you Jeremy wins perfect I actually know how to get a
Hold of you Jeremy so don’t worry about it cool all right so Jeremy I’ll be sending you a Amazon gift card here shortly put that here so we have that oh actually uh before I throw these away hey Jeremy I need you to comment I need to make sure you’re still here I
Got to do it fair I’ll throw those those are lights here I’ll put all these in here just in case Jeremy’s not here ah there he is okay J still here cool so bik Mike we were just talking about you so yeah let me share that again real quick while he’s on

Lot so let’s talk let’s talk bike build real quick before uh we jump off hey my hey my wife son that’s Marley hey baby you should have won the $20 gift card to Amazon I don’t know is there do I make the rules or are there rules and
Regulations over who can actually win can my wife win the giveaway so we’ll uh a is that a sad oh it’s a winky face I thought it was a sad face so what do you guys think I should do for the crank set so all we need on this build to be done
Now is the crank set and the saddle that’s all and then we can finish this bike build finally so I think I’m just going to do I didn’t even know there was a giveaway well you just missed it hey what’s up TR now everyone’s jumping on and I don’t want to get
Off so uh yeah so the live feed’s been going for about an hour now fun fact we ended up installing the Shimano deor brakes front and back on the NS entric uh we did a Amazon gift card so Trail pin hang on it’s funny you say
That so this is actually the oval ring I purchased for the build so it’s kind of funny that you say five Dev but what’s funny is I bought this off of a bud in St Louis area for a really good deal but it is set up technically for Shram it’s
Set up for Shram Dove so I might just have to go with that but I do I could do some swapping because i’ I’ve actually wanted to try five Dev cranks so like I could put the five Dev cranks on my binary Maniac because it actually has a
Dub crank set and I could put that dub crank set on this bike because 165 GX cranks yeah so I’ve seen some pretty decent deals on the five devs but yeah I mean like what’s the cheapest like $250 $300 for a crank set I mean it’s pretty wild
But on a positive note typically when you buy a crank set you’re going to put it on and it’s just kind of good to go like unless you break the crank set I don’t know what kind of warranty five dev has that’d be interesting to look into but like chain rings and stuff
You’ll switch out and swap out so whatever but like some parts that are a little bit longer lasting such as crank sets and stuff typically I’m a little okay with spending extra on but yeah I uh I I think the GX cranks are so hard to beat like pricewise for like GX
Cranks I think they’re terrific you get the GX cranks and then like in that exact same price P Price Point the deor Shimano deor cranks I think they’re terrific as well but I’ve had really good luck with Shamano deor I’ve had really good luck with the gxs uh the dub
Crank sets I’ve I mean that’s like 90% of the time that’s what I run on the actual GX crank sets so depends on the length you want me yeah GX 165 is just that’s probably what I’ll end up going with just to be able to fit the five de
And just be good to go so I’m not like so I didn’t like waste my money on this overal ring but that’ll be cool I’m excited for that uh is that all we got all you guys just jumped on and I’m getting ready to show down maybe next time I’ll give like a
Little bit more of a heads up for a live feed but even with the with the live feed itself I typically do 170 but it seems like a lot of people are going lower with the c Craig links aren’t they like the 165 is so he says I used 175 used
170s I liked and felt less stable coasting fast downhill interesting you didn’t like them so I have a little heart in the way of like the back half of your guys’ comment so I have to like move your comment up to be able to read
It so John’s 6 foot I am 510 32 in inseam and yeah I typically run 170s uh yeah a lot of people are going 165s and shorter cranks which is interesting but I’ve seen a lot of a lot of the videos of people doing that and trying that so
I I’m kind of interested in trying that just I mean I’m always I’m always willing to try something once and see what it does or how it works so 34in inseam yeah definitely a little bit longer than me too so well guys I’ll Jeremy I’m going to get a hold of you
Anyhow just because you won and uh thank you guys for for tuning in and joining and I can tell a mountain bike joke I don’t even anyone if anyone’s wondering Marley is my wife so if you missed that part I can tell a mountain bike joke let’s hear it what’s your
Mountain bike joke Marley well we’ll end the live feed with your joke so it better be a banger honestly if you guys know me at all you have to know she’s a pretty special woman to even put up with with me so why did the people keep leaving bad
Reviews for the mountain bike mechanic why did people keep leaving bad reviews for the mountain bike mechanic I don’t know Marley why I’m kind of scared on where this is going it’s like awkward silence until I read the answer but there’s like a weird Delay from like when you send a message
To when I read it so makes it even more fun there it is because he was cranky oh my goodness that’s my wife everybody that oh yeah Mike don’t laugh at [Laughter] that gosh oh my goodness I don’t I’m going to have to tell that to Rich Moore
