I brought my bike this way I brought my bike tonight yes look at that is is your bike’s name Grimace still do we still call it Grimace I I still yell at it I still call it Grimace yeah and and the reason why B Grimace again though after this
One it’s been uh it it bites me every once in a while yeah you guys remember Grimace from the McDonald’s characters Grimace is always up to kind of no good and Joey’s bike is kind of up to no good it’s always it’s always doing something weird when we’re out there it’s never
Failed me it just does something weird yeah like it it’ll shoot out from underneath me and attack the person standing next to me or it’s it’s always something right it’s always it’s always do something funny um we got a message here in the private chat saying he
Thinks he’s ready to go so uh without further Ado blindfold on him though or we’re goingon to do that after we introduce him wait that’s what he looks like that’s not his face let’s get him up here so he can say what’s up everybody ladies and gentlemen
Steve dorsy AKA spokesman MTB what up Steve howdy howdy can you hear me okay sound good yeah oh thank goodness yeah sound good look good how’d you do that all right uh lots and lots of money can you do that for me can you do that for
Me how you guys been been great man been great just kind of opening up the show talking about what’s been going on and uh you know really excited for this bike build now this is going to be the first time we’ve ever done this and yeah I’ll
Do my best this is this is awesome no pressure I feel bad saying this is the first time we’ve done this but we’re not gonna be doing anything we’re just gonna be rooting you on Stump hey Buddy Stump TV says yay Steve so spokesman you were out here in
Southern California God long ago now about three months ago is it four months now right about that yeah oh boy yes and what a trip it was some some good friends of mine showed me around this place called Greer Ranch and changed my life so fun when we
Were out there uh I think it was you weren’t going to ride an ebike or you had purposefully not ridden any bike right right and then Joey over here out of nowhere and I had no idea was G to happen Joey hops off his bike and says
Hey Steve take this for a ride or something like that Joey how’d that go yeah I totally I just I infected him right away just here take this for a ride see what happens see what happens all I giggling and laughter off into the distance it’s true it’s 100% true and I
Knew it he was done at that moment yes yeah it it literally changed my life I had I had been avoiding ebikes on purpose because I knew that the moment I got on one I was going to love it and uh Joey puts this thing in front
Of me what am I gonna do say no you gotta get on an ebike you got it when somebody puts a bike that nice in front of you you jump on that puppy and you see what it can do and yeah it’s exactly my worst fears were realized because uh
I bought a bike what two days later was I thought it was on the way home yeah I know it was fast it happened like the next day or two days later yeah I was really impressed you were shopping as we were at the top of the trail but
You didn’t yet pull the trigger it’s like yeah yeah yeah guys I’ll be along in a minute I’ll meet you at the bottom of the trail D yeah that was that was incredible and Joey you got a nice bike thank you nice ride it it it was very
Fun to to ride and it it honestly it was incredibly responsive uh climbing of course was a joy but even on the downhills I mean I was very nervous because e bikes are a little bit heavier than normal bikes and uh I was worried that I wouldn’t be
Cutting the turns the same way and things like that and honestly it felt perfect it felt perfect everything that I was worried about turned out to be completely false fears um it it felt like a dream going downhill just as much as up it was a really nice setup so
Complain yeah I was impressed you were smashing the trails on Blind by the way on on I was following you trying to get footage of you and you were just smashing the trails that you’ve never been on and on a bike you’ve never been on and man we were having such a blast
That was so good and Joey somehow was able to keep up with us on an analog bike yeah Joey got on my uh bike that I brought and flew up the hill Joey you’re a climber I I do enjoy the climb from time to time yeah you’re killing I
You’re I mean that’s my weak point you know I I’ll ride with anybody as long as they’re willing to wait for me because it takes me a while to get to the top of the mountain but you flew up that hill like someone was paying you to do it it
Was incredible I also your bike too doing it no you didn’t do anything to my bike but and and I know why you say that because we’re going up the hill and this things start going and we’re all just freaking out going that is not the right
Sound and uh it turned out it the uh I9 Hub this is it right here the I9 Hub uh yeah the the engagement ring that’s on the inside of the Hub could was separated a little bit yeah you’re just a torque monster he’s a meal yeah the the the rear the rear axle
Had slowly backed itself out because I think i’ driven my truck about 2,000 miles at that point and I hadn’t checked the rear axle and it slowly worked itself loose on the on the the rack on the back of the truck and there so the engagement wasn’t quite in all the way
And that gave it enough to give out and I ended up having to replace the Hub oh wow wow that explains it that explains it and now it’s all working and everything’s fixed and things are perfect that’s awesome and uh the funny thing was is when we caught up to Joey
Because Joey took up took off first up the mountain and when we caught up to him the look on your face Joy was like a little kid who just got in trouble you’re like I didn’t do it here’s your bike exactly exactly which leads us that
Whole day leads us to tonight which is incredible you had ordered tell the folks what you ordered and uh how long you’ve been sitting on this beautiful thing I I knew I wanted a decoy and I didn’t at first know which one that’s why I didn’t buy immediately because I didn’t
Know which decoy I wanted and so uh I was uh digging around the website it of course I wanted the core 4 which is their topof the line right uh is there there isn’t a core five right and uh there is now okay now yes they’ll send it back
Yet there is yeah um yeah but I ended up breaking down and I just bought the core for because gosh darn it I like good stuff and uh uh it was on back order so it took a little while to get here and then after it got here uh
Uh you know the three of us were chatting and we’re like we should do this online that’ll be fun yes we could have a good time and so uh I’ve got something oh here he goes folks he’s just walking off stage he went he literally did exit stage
Right knocked over my light so I’m gonna put that back up but um he’s going to do what’s it called when you do the Shadows yeah right shadow puppets or shadow puppet oh w wow there it is look at that I can’t believe you now how long have you had
That in the Box without opening it’s been sitting here for almost two weeks just staring at me day and night crap openting open me up touch me put your hands on me man and so it’s been driving me nuts because I I want open it yes that is some good
Self-control I can’t believe if I had that thing there for two weeks there’s there’s no way like Joey said in a we had a personal text group going and Jo was like unbox it look at it and then put it back in there and tape it back up
And see it build it ride it and then the day before the show put it all back in there I’ll take out this dirty bike yeah no one will fall for that yeah oh man hey we got uh thank you so much uh Trail monster is just putting up $7 for the

But it might be a little slower because I’m adding some parts to it um I’ve got my Silverado saddle that I purchased for this bike and uh I have that on all my bikes and then I’ve got my trail one grips and I’ve got my trail one
Bar so um and then on top of that I have some pedals that I picked up from a guy who uh lives here in Durango in Colorado and he uh engineered and manufactures these pills here in Durango oh interesting and uh little boy I I saw
Them up at Second Avenue Sports and uh bought a pair for my other bike and uh they’re really really beautiful see if I can do this you see that let’s a let’s get a look at that that deserves a solo layout wow they’re very very nice and so
I would definitely CRS yeah local Durango and these guys really do build a good product to to the point they’re not the cheapest pedals in the world but you know what they’re really really high quality yeah to the point where I got a second pair so I’m looking forward to throwing
Those things on this bike along with all these fantastic Trail one components and I’m going to have a trail one cockpit on each of my bikes beautiful beautiful yeah so I’m really excited about that which gets us into the audience participation tonight we’ve got the we’ve got the wheel being added up as
People are putting chats out there Joy’s on it it’s so it’s so fun and uh now how did you get Trail one to to come to the table and and give our folks here some goodies well I was fortunate enough I guess it was like three three and a half
Years ago um um when Joe kado kid and uh Brian bkxc uh were out in um crested but Colorado doing a onewe ride with chasing Epic Adventures and I had signed up for that trip and uh it was a bkxc ride but Joe was along for the ride and we all

A wonderful time um and it was really nice to meet Brian Brian Kennedy uh and we stayed in touch um when he started up this uh fantastic company uh with some other folks uh called Trail one uh they make the the Carbon Bar I think was one
Of the first things they came out with that in the um hellsgate grips and I I was one of the first people to buy a bar and I put it on my bike and did a quick review of it and he texted me later and

A Jeffy and a decoy 29 because of you mark yes damn Mike I didn’t realize that’s right you have two bikes that’s right he’s getting the whole build out there too I’m scared of this thing here it comes here we go here we go love both my by’s decoy and kapra there it
Is wow see the bike’s like you sure about this man yeah you just pulled out the the frame the decoy frame out of the box decoy frame flat black there’s a specific name for the color magic black magic black magic that’s right thank you gorgeous color and as the bike comes out
Um Joey when the bike comes out like that it’s it’s almost built up all the way I mean it already has the it already has the saddle and the dropper attached is dropping what else is I think there’s only I think there’s four I mean you got to put your pedals on
Which you’re gonna want to do that anyhow with any new bike you’ve got your rear put on your wheels and your bars that’s it you’re ready to roll yeah dang look at pretty straightforward it’s gonna take longer to unwrap it than it is to put it together
Right there go we did have a question here um let’s see oh tank just popped up what’s up MTB tank good to see you bro another local here out of Murietta tank love that love that guy hey tank are you watching tank yes he is watching we had some back and
Forth he sent me some decals and he sent me this he drew this oh thank you I have hanging on my wallet in my shop nice dude thanks tank pretty sick look at that shout out to tank dad’s asking what color was the bike uh Marty it’s black magic he got black
Magic and it’s a beautiful smooth silky flat black nice I like the flat that looks good it really does look nice backyard mtbr is asking when is the next two giveaways when do you want to give away the next set of grips uh how we doing here how about 15
Minutes 15 minutes you want to do it every half hour yeah perfect yeah that’s perfect that’s perfect we’ll do another one and this one Joey we’re gonna put the next giveaway on the spin the wheel sounds good okay spin the wheel and it’ll be perfect timing he’ll take his
Grips off and then we’ll give a set of grips away oh what hand it right through the screen to you guys it’s going to be awesome oh this is good this is good but I’m going to get to it this is good uh Marty saying everything’s bigger in
Texas I think that is true that is true 100% true I heard Miami out there Johnny is saying tank that’s amazing yeah that was a sick sick drawing OCT D says what name are you going to call the bike that’s a good question and I’ve given it
A little bit of thought and I haven’t come to a conclusion yet I name all bikes check out my trail Forks profile and you’ll see that uh um I’ve got my uh ripmo uh my ripmo V2 carbon frame and that is um that’s named uh uh don’t ever get old
Kids now drawing a blank trying to think of like eight bikes at once but uh my my Yeti S150 is named Beth my uh Bond trigger race flight is named Bonnie um I have a rock lobster road bike um that is called Claudius ah Rock and um the
Ripmo I think I just called it um Kennedy I called it Kennedy because it’s named after Brian because he’s the reason I bought it oh and look at that the clean on John knew it he said Kennedy he knew he knew yeah look at that dude you’re on what’s up Josh he’s
Probably he’s probably hacking he’s like you know he’s on trail Forks right now checking it out and uh and then I have a fat bike uh that is a uh Albert Fat Albert no it’s a uh it’s a Chris uh uh stu um who who did the Nino the SNL
Sketch Chris Farley it’s and so and so I named it elino it’s awesome Trum yeah goe TR is saying for this what about how about electric shock really like that that might be winner yeah we also got um backyard MTB are saying Trump we got uh Debbie the happy zebra
Zebra she’s just giving you the okay like okay yeah the reason I named the yeti Beth is because do you guys watch uh uh Yellowstone yes oh that’s a good Reas Beth is the character that costs everybody a lot of money and hits them in the nuts all the time and that’s what
My Yeti does ooto Dad saying how about black e betti black that’s good to here black reminds me of when I was growing up working at bike shops totally takes me back tumor Warrior saying the bond Trier se6 race tire is trash it’s good for about 100 miles then it’s super
Unstable ah yeah you know I hate to I hate to talk poorly about any company but I haven’t been super impressed with what what the bond trer name has been put on since Bond Trier was no longer a bike company uh but in that room right
Over there I own a bon trigger race light and it’s a handmade frame it’s the very last handmade frame to ever come off the uh line in and their s in their Santa Cruz Factory before they got bought up by Trek oh dang it’s a collector now all the tracks now do they
Do they all have Bond triger tires when they come out it’s one of their primary component Brands got it yeah got it I don’t know if they all do but a lot of them do yeah very very cool uh women’s MTV network is saying back to Yellowstone she’s the best character
Is she’s just so bad I love it you can’t not love Beth thank you saying congrats on the bike and then Mia is saying wait you called it Beth no not yet not yet or maybe to an old bike yeah that’s yeah my Yeti is Beth yeah Yeti is be but this
This we’re working on it working on the name we’re working on the good IE no you oh yes you rode and guess what happened cost a whole lot money yeah it makes a lot of sense now right perfect Marty Marty’s putting out black beauty possibly back Black
Beauty that’s good too stump TV is saying Steve e Steve e maybe no we gotta look we gotta look back on that one uh the cing on John oh Josh what’s up he says Trail pimp is asking is that bike 145 rear and 150 front I believe that is absolutely 100%
Correct sounds right yeah yes yes just taking off the packing material here still so as Steve unpacks the bike you could see like if you were afraid or nervous or anxious about building your own like because when you order the bike you do have an option to
Build it yourself being sent to your house or having the mill build it for you I think it’s an extra $100 for them to build it up for you if you want to and you go pick it up there in Orange County and soon to be uh Bentonville
Will be another location is that right for for now yeah but for now we can see what it looks like when you first get it you pull it out it’s got the dropper post the saddle the shock the fork it’s all on there I mean literally is the
Stem on there too you just need to place the handlebar stem is on there and it looks like the front two pieces of the stem are attached to the bars oh that’s easy because they don’t wrap around 180 degrees they wrap around a little bit
More than that like the letter c and so they actually hold themselves on there really nicely nice yeah there you go excellent packaging so that would be easy um the derer is already on it looks like and chain everything I mean really it’s Just Tires
Pedals put that uh put that bar on and you’re off you go and they put these little boxes on the uh Brew axles for the front and rear wheel do they contain stuff no is Christmas not over yet I don’t think oh no they’re just hacking
Just to keep it from smashing I was like what’s in [Laughter] here uh Johnny wants to know while you’re over there towards the front of the bike what stem is on that stock what comes on that that is a torque all screws newton meters I’ve never heard of that brand
Um oh I do not know this brand oh acros does that sound right across across I’m unfamiliar with the brand it’s a nice stem across and I believe the bars are renthal as they come right oh rol you’re right I’m I’m reading the stem cap that’s why yeah you’re right rth it says
Renthal right here that’s why this what happens older folks you don’t have your glasses like where what the hell does it say Hey kid come on over here and read this for me trail f is he’s pulling his hair out he says dude acros is the headset guys I know I’m idiot I’m
Just I’m not looking at the right thing stum stump TV is asking wait does the battery come charged plug it in first that’s the question that’s the question I don’t know do answer that one I believe there’s a bar or two on there I don’t think it’s complely there’s a bar
It’ll definitely get you out into the snow tonight yes yes what could go wrong and there was a question early on what size battery is that I believe you got the 540 did didn’t you or did you go to the bigger one no the larger what is it a
750 is uh it wasn’t available at the time but I do plan on picking one up okay yeah and Joey that’s compatible right you can go you could just buy the extra battery if you want and pop it in there I know a couple Riders they they
Have a couple batteries when they travel when they camp and stuff like that charge one ride one and then switch it out yeah that’s cool um all right I just have to take off this through axle and then I think I’m good to go on the packing material this is there’s a lot
Of packing material this is a safely packed bike Michael MSO is saying fazari has a lot to learn from how YT is packed I’ve never seen how fazari comes I I do like that company though and the ERS that they support bizar seems like they’ve got a a cool thing going on too
And I believe they’re also direct to Consumer are they not that I believe they are is that right yeah I think so I think so Trail pimp could answer that big old tag on the handlebars here Stop in the Name of Love it actually says in the Name of
Love we should have flown Trail pimp in for this one he’s helping us out here thank you so much says Acro is a German company thank you yes yes yes drill pip is saying the 500 battery spare is $4.99 five 500 yeah that’s less than a dollar a kilowatt a watt is it yeah a am I rounding the wrong direction Steve so if you weren’t swapping your bars and grips out tonight you could just place that there and tighten it down right be
Done yeah yeah be done yeah the build is actually I mean shoot if yeah if I wasn’t swapping Parts out I’d be 80% of the way through yeah and I there’s a lot of people out there that don’t you know they’re a little nervous to purchase a bike that
They have to build like I got to put this together but if you can take your front tire off you can put this bike together yeah it’s it really is just ridiculously easy it’s fantastic well that puts me out that’s right hey Mark you might want to tighten this rear axle down
Yeah chain skipping again he does it feel so loose supposed be my derer again uh St TV oh St TV is saying now you got to name it one of the Supremes after that I’m saying yes easy to build so okay he’s pulling out the tires he pull out the
Wheels all over my garage and I believe Steve does it say on there are those puppies do they come delivered oh yeah there they go they got the rims it’s all it’s all Beed and everything it’s on there yeah it’s on here there’s even air in them although I’ll top that off yeah
Are they tubless ready does it say are they already taped up as well they’re tubless ready but they’re I believe they’re I think there’s a tube in there they’re already taped up nice so all you need is and a valve stem valve yeah sealant and valve stem that’s what I get for
Trying to open it on the air a lot of zip ties so yes we are live watching spokesman new bike wheel yes he is uh building this thing out W makes me I love new bike day new bike day is so and honestly you know what I just noticed is
That I’d say just about everything here is recyclable this is very well put together nice and wait the wheels are there dork discs on there or no no well oh there is on the rear yeah have a dork on disc on the front would you then it’s really bad yeah’s been
Drinking he called him dork dick Joy’s gonna try to catch up I’m gonna pour myself a little bit of Maker’s Mark as H I know I’m so tempted to just go over there and get a plyy and open it plyy the Elder that reminds me of Sedona I’m being bad tonight I’m doing
H2O oh you’re so that’s good Joey oh that’s good okay okay yeah that’s a good thing I’m I don’t Dr that often but tonight I got I got divorce papers in the mail today so I am uh feeling feeling like I want to drink too yeah hey Joey yes tell me about
This is it get focusing that’s a wheel Steve those are break that’s the magnet there’s a little magnet on the brake disc oh that’s for your that’s for your sensor that’s to tell your bike how fast to go that’s interesting yeah that’s how it knows the revolutions and yeah that’s what your
Motor reads right there beautifully tucked out of the way so I’m GNA set these wheels aside and I’m going to pick up my box and move it out of the frame so that I have move it out of the frame of the video so that I can uh get to work
Here thanks Debbie happy Zea says you deserve that drink Cheers Cheers Debbie is the happy zebra I believe that’s producer Deb producer Debbie is that you please tell us that’s you the producer is always back in the you know back there making sure everything’s running smooth I thought Debbie just stopped

A that’s totally up to you if you want to um after the show you they’re your grips cing on John let us know um after the show if you decide to take them it’s great and if not you know we can always maybe we could even get uh Manny over to
The folks at Trail one for that as a separate cause as well so that’s also another possibility uh Trail pimp is saying wow really generous yeah that was really nice that’s super super nice so so Steve what are you doing over there now you got uh
You got the front tire on the decoy I’m taking off the Dork disc really quick nice dork dis is coming off I feel like the Dork dis is oh he’s so nice it’s it’s a staple isn’t it you but look at how nice he takes off the Dork this I
Had to snap that thing with pair of P shake it and it falls wow clips that are tricky Manny saying oh that’d be legit that’d be legit that’d be legit so yeah Manny we’ll see if we can get you in touch with the TR one folks um unless the Kling on John
Wants to donate whatever you want to do just let us know MTB TNA is uh oh yeah no no Johnny’s saying no don’t do it safety yeah keep the Dork dis on there keep the d on there well the the Dork dis is not a safety feature if you have
Your bike too properly you shouldn’t need it at all what is the Dork bis other than a very fun new bike day you know thing to to rip off your bike it is it is it’s a bit of a ritual isn’t it yes yeah it’s it’s uh designed to keep the chain from
Falling into the gears between the spokes and the gears because there’s a little Gap there and you don’t want your chain in there because it’ll really mess up your spokes and do other awful things but uh if you’re like I said before if your if your rear derailer is tuned
Properly then it’s completely unnecessary because your derailer should be incapable of going that far into your wheel got it and Mark needs a d this on his bike at all times and here we are God damn son of a Brian gong is in the house what’s up
Brian gong good to see how it going gonger how you doing buddy yes gonger you missed the two giveaways we gave out uh hellsgate grips but you are definitely still in time for the trail one cockpit which will be given away at the end of the
Show uh Mia is saying did I miss a whole shot you did like almost a half hour ago that was a half hour yeah that was a little while ago we just did a spin the wheel though and uh uh the Kling on John just won the second pair of grips Brian
G says I’m mad at Steve oh shots fired let’s find out why oh it’s probably what did I do this time what is it Joy why do you think he’s mad Oh I thought it I thought it was for being assisted but it’s oh why is why is not for Yeti he’s
Saying oh man Brian is a died in the wool Yeti lover and I get it they’re quite nice bicycles they’re very nice yeah I always say the vows are expensive though yeah the vowels AE i o vows the E and the I you guys said that at the same time that
Was incredible I did not put that up to that Brian that was them all alone oh man he’s saying oh lot Trail pimp we got Tim Haley saying got a bounce have to go finish packing the trailer for Veil this weekend Tim we’ll see you in a couple days my bro gonna be
Fun I understand and I hope you have a wonderful time and I can’t believe you’re bugging out before we do the big giveaway yes who maybe he could pack the trailer and still be on so he can win the giveaway I don’t know Brian’s got the blue heart saying I still love yall
Johnny in Florida is saying YT is for young Talent yes yep that is correct crack my back and I look for my glasses right get off my lawn get off my lawn son of a oh the chats whipper Tim’s like I’ll see what I could do man for the folks on iTunes they’re
Probably like what is happening yeah I know this is so weird so this using some special tools to to reinstall the gears on the rear wheel so that I can now now that I have the Dork disc disc off I really shouldn’t mispronounce that um I can uh
Throw the wheel on the bike yeah and if you don’t have those special tools you can just get a pair of pliers and break that dork this off that is correct and that’s how most people do it but I wanted to save this one for posterity
It’s kind of important to me well that one’s going to Josh right Josh has got to get whether he wants it or not you gotta sign it first though got you gotta sign it this is my celebrity dork Trail pimp is he’s loving how you’re putting the bike together with
Eloquent touch he says spokesman is a pro and then Michael says that’s what she saiden Wren that’s what she said M wants to know what the drivetrain is the drivetrain is XT um and somebody asked the Hub is that all XT it’s got I9 hubs are they hydras
They don’t look like hydras are they hydras I’d have to check oh no wait a minute they have I’m very confused now I’m looking at the wrong thing yes they have um shoot I can’t I just put the wheel on the bike so I can’t show you what it looks like but
Uh they’ve got what looks like an I9 logo here and then on the other side is the uh the oval with the two dots and what’s I forgot the name now don’t get old kids go pimp will fill us in here we go yeah this is insane I’m just being pimp
Got us he says one to one one to one thank you yes Trail pimp the man we should have Trail pimp just like oh no we lost whoops no you didn’t we there you go oh my camera my camera shuts itself up 30 minutes I thought it was a
Closeup of the bike man I was like yeah inside the bike Jo pimp saying not Hydra Michael with our with the rescue two says one to one yes right pimp for the save yeah we got to get like another microphone for trail pimp I I have one here I know
Right yeah here we go second microphone Trail pimp right there Trail pimp this is your this is your seat Bud right there right there let’s throw these puppies on here nice now what is the actual colorway of those petals those are insane they’re kind of a rainbow oil slick
Style give you the full layout there very pretty yeah they they’re they’re freaking gorgeous I love them and it comes decal I love when you find local stuff like that now that’s that’s right there in Durango where you’re at just making them yeah I walked into the
Second avenu Sports uh which is you know uh one of the many Fantastic bike shops we have here in town and uh I saw them under the counter and I said oh show me that and uh he pulled them out and uh yeah I fell in love on the spot so I
Picked up a pair and threw them on one of my other bikes are we talking pedals still what are you talking about I know right so changeed the subject it was under the thing and he pulled it out okay I’m G to put this
Over here uh yes so so you saw them and then obviously it’s a quality build so in mountain biking it’s always nice to have quality over quantity because you definitely don’t want P Flying off when you’re trying to save your life heading down a trail yeah that’s always a plus
That’s a big plus big plus and um they all the the shape of those looked nice they kind of remind me of the is it Crank Brothers with this with the stamp and has that look that look yes yeah it’s a very similar style um they just
What I really love about them is they have a nice big platform and uh they don’t uh they they haven’t dulled up at all they’re you know the the tines are still really nice and sharp so they’re lasting uh a nice long time and I’ve put a quite a few miles on
Them there we go nice the pedals are on the bike MTB TNA is saying the thing a bopper I believe is the word you’re looking for always the word I’m looking for is that is that a metric or a standard thing of a popper it’s both it’s a us and
European look at that this bike this bike’s built if you Bol those handlebars on we can go it’s crazy yeah wow now normally what I would do uh I learned how to build bikes at a shop in Portland Oregon called Bike and Hike and uh unfortunately that chain has closed uh
This this was I worked there in 1989 I think and uh which really dates me but um it was a it was a nice high-end shop and and they taught me how to build bikes they they were very disciplined and had a very strict procedure on how to go about you know
The bike build and so uh according to that standard what I would do is before I put the wheels on I would actually throw them on the tring stand and uh I would give them a quick once over and make sure that they’re true and that they’re tensioned and I’ll
Probably do that later this week wow sick sick sick sick sick sick sick this just in from the chats Good Deeds going down on the segment podcast tonight cing on John Manny I messaged Steve already and so they’re yours hope it helps that’s awesome that’s awesome dude thank
You John you’re a good guy good dude Heth Sky park ride for autism that’s GNA be awesome Trail monster with Shades good stuff going down MTB TNA is saying metric uh what Shenanigans is that Sky Flex with the fist bump there loving the good stuff Happening Here in
The chat TR pimp is saying don’t forget to plug in the display after you attach the bar and use the tool thing and this is okay I have a question for you Mark how are we doing on time because I swap out the bar put on the grips have time
For that good we’re we’re 7:15 Pacific uh so we’re looking solid looking solid I don’t have to be out of the studio until 8 o’clock I got my son who was on a ski trip just flew in and boy are his arms tired Bo arms
Tired dad joke and I gotta go pick him up so he won’t be sitting there in the cold going where the heck is my dad good daddy oops uh Happy zebra happy zebra is saying that’s a skill I’d love to learn TR a wheel tell us Steve as you’re
Putting that on is it hard to Che up a wheel or do you need that tool that you showed us or I feel like it’s like a learned how to build wheels from a gentleman at Bike and Hike named Dan H um and he was our in-house professional
Wheel Builder was just a little tight was of yeah 19 years old or something and uh was a cool sound and uh I was dying to learn the wheel but I didn’t know the first except that you know when you look at a bicycle wheel dead on it’s spokes
That go up to the right if you tighten them it pulls the rim to the right the spokes that go up to the left if you tighten them it pulls the the rim to the left and uh that obvious so I could true a wheel but I didn’t know how to tension
A wheel yet and uh it wasn’t until I purchased a book on uh worker Dan’s advisement called bicycle wheel by a gentleman named jobs de brand he’s European don’t know what country he’s from and uh it goes through through the entire process of how to build a wheel
And why you have to do very specific things in order what tensioning does the entire second half of the book is filled with equations that I cannot read but uh it’s a very very detailed rundown on how to build a wheel and it is a fantastic reference I’d say it’s the
Standard interesting wow cool that’s cool I had no idea I had no idea I always get those little tools to like tighten Spokes and I I’ve always seen people slam the wheel on the ground when we’re on the trail side I’m like how did he do that it’s it’s pretty true in in
Uh I want to say it was around 1995 I was in Palo alfor train and I stopped in at paloalto bicycles which is uh I found that book on the shelf and so I’m flipping through it even though I had a copy of home I’m flipping through
It and just kind of you know reading it a little bit and this dude walks up to this tall skinny dude walks up to me and he says do you like that book and I said yeah it’s a fantastic book he said uh can I ask you a question I said sure he
Said okay you’re out in the world riding your book and you crash and you Taco your Rim your he said what’s the first thing fix it put it he go oh it’s breaking up you cut out at the punch line yeah no you Taco you rim and I was going to say
Then you eat it hear me now can you hear me yeah yeah you’re back you’re back okay I bet that’s horrible no he said he said what do you what’s the first thing you do and I said I bend it over my knee to fix it and he
Said no that’s not said you loosen all spes and then you bend it back with all the spokes loose and then you retighten it and that’s that way you’re tensioning the wheel because otherwise you’re putting new stresses in parts of the wheel that are the weakest because it
Just got bent and uh it will help you it’ll help make sure that you can get your bike home it’ll and I said how do you know all this stuff he said because I wrote that book oh I’m like what oh my God yeah and I didn’t have enough money
On me to buy a copy to have him sign it otherwise I would have done that D TV saying dang solar flares when you cut out oh man I know I’m sorry guys Joshua on board tonight from uh chicken cendes he’s here just a little late sorry guys dude welcome aboard good to
See you bro right on you are just in time because there’s a cockpit given being given away at the end of the show chicken to the whe yes yes and uh uh Octodad is saying I can tighten Spokes and get basic shape back using a spoke wrench yeah there you go yeah
That’s how you do it that’s perfect yeah so Trailside you just biffed the the wheels bent you’re saying loosen up all of the spokes and then contort retension the wheel yes I’m walking home if I loosen all the [Laughter] F right I have taco to rim with my
Head yes you have impressive I want to hear that story that was pretty scary joeyy goes over a gap jump locks up locks up the bike upon Landing because there was a bike sitting off to the side of the trail right where Joey was going he immediately goes into a nose manual
And has nowhere to go he’s completely in this nose manual and then cuts out ejection button right when he gets over to the bike try to avoid from running it over and then he headbutts the tire goes he hasn’t been the same no that was a that was a brand new
Helmet and it it was uh only lasted one day that’s awful it did it did the job the best part was Joey hoed hopped up so fast and he looked right at me and he goes dude I’m fine I’m fine yes but is he though but is he fine
Though Timothy Haley was there he says oh my God I remember that crash yes yeah I was fine until the next day and man my neck was sore for about a week to two weeks think probably should have had it looked at yeah that was scary man I
Hadn’t seen you Joey by the way hardly ever crashes because he’s he’s a smart Rider he knows when to push it and he just stays calm Under Pressure but that one you just couldn’t get out of you were pinned between the wall you couldn’t go to the left cuz the wall and
Then when you were in nose manual there was nowhere to go and and it was you know I did I jumped when I jumped I I should have pulled the bike to the right a little bit so I did go off Trail but uh yeah well you know you could do so
Much thinking in a moment yeah there was a bike off Trail so yeah it was one of those we were eyeing this Gap the first Gap was it looked intimidating but when you when you skyed the first Gap it was fine it was the second Gap where you
Kind of have to make a weird left turn into that and that was bigger and it looked more ominous yeah I don’t know if looked I know the guy before the first guy that went crashed on that second one he went High just like I did and then
And went I think he slid out but he went down pretty hard and I landed in the same spot but uh I had nowhere to go yeah yeah and I think I had just cleaned it uh following somebody from the Bomber Crew through there right Joey and then yeah
You then you pulled through right behind was like well sh if Mark can do it and Joey yeah that was uh there it is Timothy Haley remembers he goes yep that was Waterworks Bomber Crew ride that was a good ride that was scary that was a
Good ride I took the rest of the ride I I definitely didn’t do anything toned it down toned it yeah that was I think I’m I think I’m good guys yeah definitely toned it down man it’s crazy what happens when you look back at your helmet after a
Crash and you see physical damage you’re like damn that could have been my head like yours had like a big crease out of it it had a crease and it was snapped on the inside that would have designed to give its life to protect yours it did it did it’s job uh Johnny’s
Asking for the folks there um in Audi land what you up to Steve currently I am swapping my bars for these wonderful and beautiful uh Trail one Crockett carbon bars they are pretty Mark I have since that crash too I have upgraded my helmet to what I believe is the safest helmet
On the market right now which is the helmet say it again Joey that I’ve upgraded to what I think is the safest helmet and which is the 6D helmet yes yeah yeah that and why why do you think that one’s the safest one CU I think you
Were riding 100% that day it was yeah that was the first time I’d ever worn a 100% helmet and it 100% did its job but up butts it’s Working but uh yeah the 6D Mark you can go into it as far as what 6D stand what you know what the actual 6D meaning is but the helmet anytime I show anybody the movement that it can do they’re always blown away yeah 6ds definitely put a lot of money into their research
For it it s Dona right yes that was the first time that we tried them on and yeah soon as I tried it on I was like impressive design it’s so impressive and then I put my other helmet back on and it felt like a a cooler that you would
Pick up at the grocery store okay let’s do this that’s how they get you like yeah it’s it’s true I um Marty here octo dad is is asking what brand helmet it’s called 6D like the number six and then d as in delta and yeah 6D stands for six
Dimensions of protection there they they actually come from I believe The Story Goes they come from the Moto world and they have yeah and they have incredible their myips protection and there’s like myips on steroids is probably the best way to describe it the the amount of
Movement that you get uh with those helmets inside is incredible they are the I think as of recently they’re the only ones that have studied rotational impact like all the other helmets I think the standard was you get a blunt force strike down onto the ground but nobody’s really looked at the rotation
When you hit in motion and you rotate that snapping motion that you get right and they’ve done all the studies on that yes less likely less likelihood of cavitation exactly so they are they’re trying to change the standard which I think is amazing about 6D um they
Instead of like just keeping your skull intact they also want to keep your brain intact so by slowing down the rotation after a strike or hit to the ground you’ve got a good shot of reducing I’m afraid it’s too late for me that ship is already
CT but yes they are amazing helmets uh go to the 6D website if for anybody listening and is interested just type in 6D go to the website you can see all of the studies that they’ve done in the lab with those helmets it’s pretty impressive very impressive as far as
Comfort oh you don’t even know it’s on your head yes yeah and they’re not like a paid sponsor of the show or anything like that but it’s just a helmet that we found when at least when I’m wearing a half shell that’s my go-to half shell is
The 6D because I feel like that’s when need it you just it’s when you’re just kind of chilling is when things go wrong oh look at this okay back to the back to the bike build Steve is taking out the sexy Hell’s Gate grips gorgeous they are very nice he’s got the
Silver was that like a stealth silver or something like that beautiful uh flat gray that I think is really really really well God feel good in my hands stump TV has H this for you he says Steve needs rotation just now in the opposite direction you you’ve
Taken all the hits the other way you gota go back yeah it’s true Trail monster Neil out of Arizona saying I use Fox Pro carbon at the bike parks it’s but it’s like 500 bucks and I think myips I think myips but out the technology yeah I think myips but out the
Technology yeah fox makes good stuff too Fox yeah I think somebody here said something about Pac um that they Rock Pac here he goes Trail pimp tra pimp just said I just got a Pac fullface DH and army green on sale for $99 on bike closet what no kid fantastic that’s fantastic
Yeah TR leave it up to Trail pimp man he is like the encyclopedia he is he’s just amazing yes great info all the time Trail pimp is saying Steve you will never ride another bike again after this one that’s what I’m scared of is This gonna be my weekday or my weekend
Riter backyard MTB are saying those aren’t hellsgate grips they are the farlo grips oh God they are did I order the wrong grip that’s okay he’s good look Carlos look at that look at that you’re not wrong is it GNA Focus look at that
Wow look at the eyes on BR with the eyes whoa good work incredible for some reason I thought that the farlo had what how how is lock rings on both ends lockings on both how’s the girth compared to the Hell’s Gate they actually feel the same okay yeah you
Like the way I phras you’re blowing my mind yes oh I feel like someone’s about to say that’s what she said I know it’s coming I know it’s coming how’s the girth that was my toilet paper word of the day exactly I I really could go any
Direction with that but I’m just gonna close Mar is saying grip police grip police I’m already saying Steve is froing I know I’m freaking out backyard MTB or told you yeah dude good good good good catch there yeah we’re gonna keep it PG Nate saying
Yo yo yo yeah don’t worry we got we got this we got this we’re going PG we’re going PG full PG what does PG stand for let’s not go there skylex MTB is saying those are awesome grips yes they are they really are so is skylex getting Hell’s Gate or
Is he getting the furlows um I believe they’re Hell’s Gate but I can check with Trail one and see if there’s a choice oh oh I’m just saying because of that but uh but yeah he goes to the site so that’s fine yeah yeah he’s good to go Nate saying give me
The cockpit yeah we’re almost on cockpit time I know we’re getting there huh time so Steve is putting on the trail one carbon handlebars right now how did they feel compared to the renthal were they about the same weight did they feel about the same no they’re significantly
Lighter oh dang because the renthal they believe is also carbon is it not Joey no it’s not they’re aluminum I mean it’s not I believe the rol is aluminum right Joey yes aluminum is just an acronym for renthal which means carbon I’m personally I’m I’m afraid of carbon
Handlebars why why do you say I I that’s the one thing I don’t want snapping that I’m holding on to like I just that’s fair but yeah I mean I know things I’ve done with carbon bars that okay I can out wrong but still Zing what kind of pressure would it take
To break carbon bars does anybody know I think I’m sure CH Outsider I think he’s broken two sets yeah could you imagine if you snap a bar and then it turns to face you and you’re still in crash right it’s aapon at that point in time Joe I
Have a question for you uh oh yes h no it’s it’s a question that I’m asking because I don’t know the answer not because they did anything wrong this is beautiful but uh um I’m just hoping I know the answer it goes grip break and then shifter or does it go grift shifter
Break I now I’m flipping him in my head I could go look at my other bikes let me ask my Decimal System so I’ve got a jeffi behind me and this what it says uh my jei has the grip breake and shifter on one ring that yeah yeah same
Here everything all my other bikes are all integrated it’s all in one it’s all one part yeah you’re right let’s see what what does the chat say uh it’s like I haven’t had to think about this question in years yeah I’m gonna look this one up too tight a setup in
Stem not by Q&A saying preach it Joey preach it it Tim Haley saying that’s a personal preference rather person question okay here we go Michael is saying grip shifter break okay so the break goes on the inside all right yes let’s see how that works but then again
We got this from Marty from New Zealand he says shifter break then grip wait my brain is melting Johnny says grip Brak shifter there we go we got we got two for yes yeah I know grip break all over the place that’s right yeah that’s right the
Shifter goes on in the middle so it goes grip break and then anything that comes after I’m trying that sound yeah Michael says yes saying left hand needs the motor control as well don’t forget yeah that’s well in on the left hand that’s what’s going there and I actually it’s shipped
With the uh dropper post uh lever just hanging free but there is a place to bolt it onto the uh the BR break lever so this is fun I’ll be doing that in a minute the internet’s telling us two things we got Michael Michael MSO
Saying yes and then we got Johnny out of Miami saying no guys stop you backyard empty beard is saying grip brake shifter I have on on my on the decoy I’m looking at it right now it’s grip Brak shifter oh shifter on the outside shifter closest to the middle sh yeah
Break break is Oreo between the shifter and the grip okay so if this was a baloney sandwich the balone would be the shifter the the breake lever my brain on the on the left hand we have grip and then your your Mo your your motor controller and then your brake and then your
Dropper oh so the motor controller goes between the break and the grip correct oh I have to do this again wait wasn’t that already install I should have taken a picture this before I started well no because he P was but I switched the bar everything off and he forgot to look at
It yeah I didn’t in my finite wisdom see for the yeah most people don’t have to do this part there you go right this is completely yeah this is extra credit for the you don’t have to change that when you get the bike if you don’t want to
Make any upgrades it’s just the way it comes and but you know what the worst part is I don’t know where I put my grip I put the grip down oh no Manny did you take that already did Manny take it Manny come on man man he’s fast man he’s got his own
Private plane he’s out he’s out there in back where did I thump TV saying well when all else fails put these grips this is crazy did put Johnny saying I’m still upset about the Dork disc let me let me show you what I’ve done with uh the grips that I’ve taken
Off the decoy and or actually all the YT bikes I yeah always change them out toss it toss it up there I’m gon I’m gonna step down into the garage for a moment and show you do it oh that’s cool backyard into bro check the box that
Came in maybe you put it back in the box I know what the heck is wrong with me you see you see the grips on the wall there oh I want to see this oh dude that’s so cool yeah and I’m gonna that is awesome I’ll show you what they’re for
Though so Joey anybody figure it out old surfboard holder surfboard holder helmet holder is it is it really is a surfboard holder no this is taking longer than I thought not as long as it to find a grip get a grip Steve we’re keeping you in
Suspense as as as Steve is looking for his grip Mountain bik Q&A is saying baloney mayonnaise cheese and bread mayonnaise that one didn’t line up very well oh yeah I see helmets on there helmets were on there I’ll do it again though that didn’t it’s a helmet hanger
Yeah it’s a helmet rack Steve lost his grip yes he does that happened years ago budy invisible laughing about this one for years Joe pimp looks like a ski rack oh yeah it really does saying ask your wife she’ll know I’m not laughing at at your wife she’s in charge of such
Things oh this just reminds me did you all see it fell on the floor and the floor is gray oh that’s why so it was cleverly hidden from my blind ey eyes I’m sorry guys did you guys see Brett Tippy’s post this week on Instagram anybody out there
See it I’m not sure what are you referring to oh was it the joke Brett Tippy yeah he’s he’s at a steakhous and he’s ordering dinner and he’s sitting there with his wife it’s he’s dressed up they look really nice and the waitress is asking how he would like his steak
Prepared and he looks at her and he says I would like it prepared like I want an argument with my wife and the the waitress goes oh rare you like it rare Marty this reminded me of that ask your wife because yeah that’s uh hilarious so anyway not your wife just
In general anyways moving on backy it didn’t work but the grips are for my helmets all my helmets that’s brilliant yeah everybody was chatting in though backyard MTB says is it for coats Josh said it’s for pull-ups Marty says it’s for a bike holder uh Johnny says Joey just time
Traveled yes oh yeah you just you did a helmet holder Marty got it he said helmet holder B hanger bro b hanger that snap right off yeah yeah right you’d really have to have them stuck to the wall somehow I don’t quite know how he’s saying invisible grips they make
Invisible grips I just glued a dow in the to a board there and then slid the grips on the D brilliant that’s pretty you have the coolest ideas Joey because I remember Greer and at the beginning of the ride you showed us how you stuck an extra link in your shoelace so you’ll
Never lose it that’s because the before yeah the ride before my chain broke and I didn’t have a link with me and luckily I ran into a fellow friend on the trail and he loaned me a link and uh I was like I was going to tape it to the bike
I’m like wow this Mark’s got it on a bracelet right I believe you have a bracelet right here yeah I was like I got a shoelace I’ll just put it on there so yeah that was that was smart it lives on my shoe now now I just gotta figure
Out where to hide the bacon strip and a that was a cool tip for anybody that’s looking for a place to place their master link Joey just split his up into two pieces and put one on each shoelace so on his Mountain wouldn’t you want to
Put them both on the same side and that way you don’t have to take both your shoelaces out no they’re both they’re both on the same side but I I actually pulled the lace out and put it on so they’re kind of tucked underneath the underneath shoe a little bit they’re in
A safe spot so smart so smart he’s smart he’s smart that kid he’s smart wicked wicked smart Wicked smart Wicked smart pimp is saying good idea Joey Johnny is saying can we just just take a a second to admire Steve’s backdrop and signage and Tool setup yes here we go we
Are going to take a second to admire that as it gets slowly dirtier with each passing minute I don’t know are these sound effects coming through that deserves a heart I’m not hearing there it is yeah very nice very nice backyard MTB are saying yo thanks
Folman you help me reach 2K Subs in a Colorado kid live stream a while back no kidding congratulations that’s what we do for each other man oh this is heavy all right it’s not my Yeti yeah no there there’s definely a little weight there for sure yeah and
That comes with the the the batter’s already on there yeah I probably should have taken that off power that puppy on real quick I have to figure out how that works oh under the under the top tube there button yeah you have to rub it
Yeah you have to rub it keep yeah yeah get it on it’ll turn on pretty soon you’re on the wrong te hold on hold on sorry guys did this just become rated H um producer Debbie’s telling me to get you off of a full screen so pulling you back this is getting
Personal I I heard him I got it he’s back back Downy says rub it rub it right oh yeah man and this is back over did I overshare oh my gosh this is Classic this is classic so now all right he was taking off the saddle because you are
Going to be putting on a r with no you’re going to ride no saddle I’m gonna ride with no saddle now there was recently a story in the news about a road bike rider in Canada somebody made a joke about him there and so I’m just gonna stop that right now because we’re
Not gonna make that same joke I’m gonna just put a cap on that right now you’re gonna put a saddle on it wait oh so he had no saddle and that was so that he could stay out of the seat and just this is a nice saddle yeah it come it comes with
There’s nothing wrong with that saddle at all that’s actually a really nice saddle yeah yeah I don’t have a problem with that at all they a look at that’s cool what what saddle is it show us show the folks at home before you sdg um it’s gorgeous first of all I mean
It’s got a really nice design and um and it’s got the YT branding on it which is really nice but it’s an SD s DG saddle it’s not fing there you go yeah nice Focus I don’t know if you can see that and uh it’s actually a really nice looking seat
Yeah and it looks like it’s got chromal rails I’m guessing and Squishy is it squishy it’s pretty light it’s got a little bit of Squish um compared to the Silverado it’s about the same actually yeah not too different that’s a nice seat yeah Sho man it’s minimalist I I like minimalism
Minimalism German engineering Johnny and you guys you guys ride with saddles yeah you’re weird and we’re pulled right back into it so this R yeah I’m not I’m not going there nope and and Josh is asking and sdg stands for super dang great Michel Josh Michael with the
Assist he goes speed defies gravity and you’re getting the thumbs up back up there from Josh backyard he’s jonesing for the he’s jonesing for the cockpit can we please get to the cockpit giveaway we please please we have any other kinds of pits first we we are definitely almost there
Question coming in for you spokesman he says what do you prefer wolf tooth remote Pro versus pnw LOM 2 dropper post lever I use the re remor Pro and love it the wolf tooth and the LOM lover I mean they’re both great they it’s a matter of personal preference and I I
Think the the LOM comes in more colors right but uh they just upgraded the LOM recently with the rubber grip but uh honestly I like them both but I have a LOM lover on one of my other bikes and I I love it so I if I had to pick one I’d
Probably go with the LOM hasn’t done me wrong there it is Marty is saying if I win the cockpit I will give it to Octomom for Valentine’s Day as a joke present then give it away at dirt Church nice right on Johnny says I have the dvo saddle and I have never been
Happier So Soft So Soft make saddles yeah the suspension people is that the suspension people Johnny Tim Haley saying have the dvo saddle as well and love it oh that’s two for the dvo saddle that’s couple of ringing endorsements right there yeah right from two dud up there by dvo isn’t
He oh maybe you are Tim yeah that’s right because I think he rocks D suspension on all of his bikes when he gets them tra pimp the LOM lever is the yoga mat for the thumb right that’s pretty good that’s a nice metaphor and yes Joey Tim is saying
Yes they do dbo is five minutes from his house yeah I remember that that would be the leak that I would find in my bank account pipes like where is this leak coming from yeah you know when I lived in San Jose I was right over the
Hill from Santa Cruz and I used to go ride Wilder Ranch all the time and uh one afternoon right after I got my Santa Cruz highball I was out there riding and I came across a bunch of guys that were on Santa Cruz bikes and so I stopped and
We were shooting the breeze and it turned out they all worked at Santa Cruz and they revealed to me that they every Thursday afternoon they would ride up to this one spot and kick back every Thursday afternoon they ride their Santa Cruzes up to this one little Glade
That’s off the trail and kick back there for a while and I’m like oh I know a secret you know and I I really wanted to go back there all the time and make friends with them but I didn’t because that would be weird you’re like hey guys what’s going on he’s
Back but I brought stuff I brought stuff for you guys backyard MTV are saying if I win the cockpit I’ll give away the grips in my three ,000 subscriber live stream special nice can I enter that’s cool yes um Johnny’s asking is is it built and are you happy Steve it is
Almost completely built um I have to install the dropper lever here and uh then I think I might be finished oh then we could take a look at it and then spin the old wheelie Caz what’s up cass is in the house MP has been great for me he says
Nice good good yes CH pip is saying hey when you’re out there don’t forget Grant Ranch yes that Grant Ranch was uh not too far from my house um I grew up if you know San Jose I grew up in Willow Glenn some beautiful Trails up there
Went to Willow Glenn High School yeah yeah it really is fantastic area to learn to ride a bike I got I got lucky I know gonger was on here earlier I had to work in event in Monteray and he shot me a text he said man you’re about an hour
You’re about 40 minutes from Santa Cruz get your butt up here got up there and was just like wow so blown away so many trails it is truly a remarkable place um it is just Paradise yeah that L was like it was like writing on I need a twerks I
Just want to say it’s like yeah Joey wasn’t there so he’s plugging his ears la la la la yeah alone when you’re coming from Southern California where it’s dusty and loose you’re just like wow this is some people are into that yeah we have to
Be in more ways than one look at my elbow totally into it sometimes so Steve is is buttoning that up right now and we are very close to the just about done here giveway Al I can’t see it that well Mark do you have the final question for Steve tonight I
Do I do yeah we’re and we’re also doing something new on the show this year what we are doing Steve is the last guest leaves a question for the next guest on the show to answer so we got a good one exotic last guest was a guy by the name
Of Conan Ayala he is a pro MMA fighter and nutritionist I loved that show that was a great show excellent nutrition information yes that was that my mind everything and uh he’s got a title fight coming out five five round fights coming up February 24th it’ll be on paper viiew
But he left you a fantastic question and since you’re buttoning that up right now should I Joey should we end the show with that question or should I ask yeah we should end it I was just making sure we’ll keep people in suspense have it teed up folks you’ll pop the question
Later this oh my God this is back in the OG time Tim Hale’s asking is cereal a soup yes or no no and why and why not oh that’s a good question that’s like as a hot dog a sandwich yeah there we go had a little bolt fun here Steve is
Putting the final touches on there so Steve out of a rate of easy to hard how would you rate this uh bike build today let’s see the easiest bike I ever built was probably the Giant iguana of which I built probably 150 over the over the course of the time
I worked at the shops um and it was a very basic entry level like $300 bike that we sold a lot of and I could put that together in about 45 minutes uh but then again when you’re building bikes at Shops they’re taken apart a lot more comprehensively than
This this is actually almost completely built and you take it out you just bolt a few things together you’re done but those bikes are you know in way more pieces uh the most difficult bike that’s a tough one uh probably a custom build when I built my Bronson I
Literally built built it up from the ground every single part I bought individually and and uh put it together one at a time and it took a really long it took weeks this if that’s a 10 and the iguana is a one this is like a three and a half
Oh nice it’s pretty easy it’s it’s uh there’s a few things that if you’ve never put a bike together before they’re going to be new to you and you’re going to be a little confused but I’ll bet you anything that the documentation if it’s anything like I didn’t use it and I
Probably should have but when I was building my son’s Jeffy the documentation was fantastic and it walked me through everything and I wouldn’t imagine that this would be any different so uh yeah and I believe the doc I believe it’s a pict book too right yeah like Ikea yeah it’s all
Pictures you can’t read you can look at it just look in this fantastic manual all pictures can’t TV says probably the hardest part was taking off the Dork dis yeah yeah the way did it yes and that’s only because Steve’s a dork cling on John saying was that the one with the tree
Grabbers yes yeah it was because John knows because that’s when we met I was riding the Bronson it was a Bronson CC 2016 and uh with pipe Forks it was a great bike and I had bar extenders on it the you know the horns I I love those
Things and and I would every bike I own would have them if the if the carbon bars would allow it but I love having that extra leverage when I’m because we boy the stuff we climbed on that trip was just mean we climbed some mean hills
Like crazy stuff and being able to reach up and kind of dig in it made a difference I love those nice you definitely don’t need them on this bike no no really don’t you’re not wrong Michael said oh [Â __Â ] I remember that we got people saying the giveway so let’s
Check out the bike and then let’s spin the wheel yeah but let’s look at this bad boy I’m gonna move this out really quick here we go Andy for 29er with now the bars are a little bit geeked like I’m going to tune all this
Right now I just have the parts on you know nothing’s torqued down or anything but uh honestly it’s a great bike he was gonna grab the camera and we are no we’re getting closer here here we go heading in look at this look at that oh gorgeous beauty beauty
Beauty that deserves a full layout pow thank you Joey yeah that is a nice bike can you give us the uh CH P say don’t forget to air up the shock can you give us the uh a little low the first look at the uh at the screen when you
Turn it on o I wonder if I can do that Manny’s saying that bike is fire yeah that front fork will come up about another four inches probably I have to put the screen back on Ive the screen out of the way to put on some of the bar
Stuff and I haven’t clamped it back on yet but uh yeah this thing’s gorgeous my God this is a nice bike yeah how are johny’s asking to I’m just staring at the bike not saying anything and that’s terrible me as a host John actually doing his job he says how excited are
You Steve I’m freaking out just a little bit whoops that didn’t bolt on properly I’m freaking out just a little bit like I’m so freaking pumped for this that does look good that does look good beautiful beautiful and yeah so when you power that puppy on you just gota which which
