You know how you do it on a honda civic. You park that bugger on a hill with the calipers you want to bleed first the highest. Loosen up the bleed screw on the calipers and leave it there for a half hour. Tighten them back up and DONE!

Don't forget, over forking on a hardtail especially turns it into a giant stapler on the drops and jumps 🤣

Great video. I know this is an old video, but I just purchased a Cube Aim EX 2023. The cassette doesn't seem to be running true. The shop says they have no service, but they are offering a good price for the bike. I wonder if it's something that can be fixed? Any ideas? Appreciate it.

XC rider here, I think the most optimum advantage of having a wheel is when its diameter (height) is as your leg. I'm an average height, and I'd go for 32" if there were any. 32" XC would be plausible but on mountain you need maneuvrability.

I sold Slingshots in the '90s. You could get an amazing amount of preload before a jump. The landing was always bad. The bike went where ever it wanted to go. Cornering in stutter bumps was not cornering, it was more of a random direction event. They were sweet seated on a gravel road. Hit a washboard at speed and the adventure begins. We did not sell many.

A rode a Klein Matra once and it appears to want to throw you over the bar every time you brake. Horrible. Not sure if the Slingshot is any worse. A riding buddy got on with them very well.

@@gmbntech Chuckle. I still have my 1995 Cannondale SM 1000. I worked at a shop at the time so everything is super trick for the time. Manitou elastomer front suspension, Ultimate rim brakes, radial lace front, half radial rear, fill Chris King, titanium everywhere, 22 in wide bars. Weighs about 21 lbs. I ride it once a year just to understand how good I have it now. It scares the ever loving bejeezes out of me. How did I not die on that thing? But riding was great fun.

Don’t believe the hype … a good XT 2X drive train 11-36 ,38/24 will smoke a 1x10-12 … the weight saving is negligible and on a tough climb dropping g that front derailed to instantly gain rpm/torque is worth its weight in gold . Don’t do it

#ASKGMBNTECH It would be great if you guys could do a video on working on and finding parts if you have a bike that is from a brand that is no longer in business or you are restoring an old bike. As popular as Nukeproofs were/are in the UK for example I think it would be really helpful.

@@GarthFlint-nc2vj yeah that big shift happen to me while I was climbing. I went over the bars and down a cliff, and I spent a month in the hospital because of the design of those stupid things. No one will ever be to convince me that putting something that twist to change gears on the thing that you use help you climb is good idea.

Thanks Owen, you had a great show. I'm glad I already have 2 my BMWs. The price for the next Brooklyn bike should be eye popping for me and many more. Swobo was great clothing back in the day and they are missed by me. I still have a pair of their knickers (I got 2) in my ride wear rotations for cool weather. They kept me practicing my sewing skills. 👍🏻

I mean it’s a silly question. They’re already a thing as evidenced by his win at Leadville, and in particular they’re pretty much ubiquitous in races like the GDMBR which are, like Leadville, mostly fire roads and rough double track with intermittent single track. I think we all know they’re never going to make a real showing in XC and up with how gnarly XC courses have become.

The scariest bike i've ever ridden was a 2015 Cannondale Trail 1 - not mine but a friend let me ride it. Felt like it had a 5 second lag time in between me moving the bars and the bike responding! Weighed like 35 pounds, heavy enough to climb like a brick but felt sluggish on descents. The tires were also like completely bald so it spun out constantly. Did five miles of moderately difficult singletrack on that monster and I'm blessed that i'm not permanently injured as a result!
