It's back in my fleet! I sold my last Transition Spur 6 months ago, and now I've added a new one, with new colors and build. This one is the GX build.

Minty Mint is ❤‍🔥. The lines on that frame are perfect.

@twonglenn1660 Год назад

Fellow Florida rider here. I just picked up a GX Spur in black powder partially based on your review as well as every other video that lauded the bike. That you bought another Spur is validation that these bikes are awesome.

@sethdebriere6371 Год назад

Appreciate the spur video. Was the catalyst to picking it up on sale. Went all in and can say that it's incredible how much more I enjoy riding vs my old 2013 Scott Spark. Keep championing the spur! Not to mention transition just being a rad bike company.

@jimmymoffitt5977 Год назад

I’ve been running dissector/rekon for a while and love that combo too… but excited for that new Forkaster V2 to try on front when it comes out in 3C (should be soon) looks like the perfect front tire for Florida with all our tight twisty trails. Looking forward to seeing how your project goes. Color looks great!👍

@believe8263 Год назад

Strip that down to the frame and clear it with UPOL Clear #1. I do it with all of my new bikes and they look brand new years later and are really easy to clean. Add some frame protection to just for insurance.

I completely agree with your opinion on the matte finish. I hate flat color bikes and it does sway me one way or the other depending on the finish

@TheNationalTrails Год назад

If you get into a longer stem it might help on tight sections of trail. I'm using a 55mm on a 64.7-degree HTA Salsa and it's "lively" with a hint of the 68-degree HTA era.

What pads did you go with? I went from Codes on my previous bike to the G2s on my Izzo and they aren't terribly different but a little more bite would be great.

@jppt88 Год назад

@Jason Hind Just the SRAM Sintered pads for G2. At $20 per caliper it's well worth it. Do front and back.

Always good information. Would love to add one into the fold but unfortunately the stable is full. Need to sell a few bikes before my wife will let me buy more.

Wondering how much longer the spur's wheelbase is compared to XC bike. Based on your videos it seems like the tight twisty turns on your trails would favor the XC bike. looking forward to the experiment!

@regularMattMatt Год назад

nice overview of the spur! love that color too. Im just wondering why transition still doing external brake lines with their bikes. I know you said you dont mind it, but if i have the option of Spur or any other transition bikes with internal routing im going with the internal.

@rlsedition Год назад

Transition most likely uses a matte clear, as base color coats usually don't provide enough durability alone.

@phreadi Год назад

I just put the new step cast on my X01 spur. hubba hubba.

@casestudymtb Год назад

Have you spent any time on the carbon ripley? I'd be curious to see if you have as much fun on that bike as you do on the spur. A friend of mine got a ripley Build down to around 22 or 23 lbs so you can definitely get a competitive race weight out of that bike.

Hello Clint, always great videos! still happy with the bike? Aside from the seatpost problem, have you had any other particular issues on bearings / linkage - such as pivot play etc?

@ClintGibbs 4 месяца назад

Very happy with this bike. So happy that I sold it! Lol. I’m building up a total custom spur dream bike with the new Spur frame that just came out last week. It’s a project that I’ll show on the channel in the next few weeks. To answer your question, no other problems at all. I’ve had two Spurs at this point with no issues other than the slipping seat post, which fortunately was resolved.

@mountainbikingfortherestofus Год назад

Totally agree with you about the flat finish. I have a Ibis Ripley in Flat black and after a few years it looked terrible. So, I decided to "polish" the bike and then apply a high quality car wax. It turned out really nice and is still holding the shine after a year. Here is the video of the project if interested. Thanks for the review Clint. I just purchased the Spur two weeks ago! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kriHlstPfCQ.html

Love your reviews, I’ve settled on this for my next bike. Waiting on Transition to have frames in stock. We worried about them making any changes to the Spur since it’s been basically unchanged since release?

No changes in the frame, just the components.

@rogerlvin1539 Год назад

Curious about rockshox vs the fox build in GX config. Seems like the common preference is for fox, but it also seems to add 2+ pounds. Any thoughts on one vs the other and why? Thank you.

@ClintGibbs Год назад

I prefer fox because they are less finicky and require less maintenance over the long run. The fork is stiffer which improves the handling of the bike. If weight is a concern then yes, rockShox is better unless you’re talking about the Fox Stepcast fork which is what I would run if I wanted to lighten up the front.

@hardmtnbiker Год назад

PB gave a great review and said that this bike is a Trail bike for XC racers. Personally this is one of my favorite frames. I would build more on the trail side with wide STANs Baron CB7 rims and a Fox 130mm fork.😎

@jamiemcdonald4880 Год назад

i noticed that Transition changed their FAQ about fork travel to include + or - 10mm of travel, which gives a green light in my mind for 130mm forks. I think before it said not to go above 120. That might help get the bottom bracket up a bit while not sacrificing geometry negatively. I'b be interested in seeing someone do a review with a 130mm fork on this bike.

@Nate_K111 Год назад

Congrats on the bike. Not trying to be too negative but … I like blue and all just seems like there are just a ton of turquoise bikes

@jamiemcdonald4880 Год назад

Picked up my Spur GX this past November. Sold my 2019 Jet 9.... I'm not blaming you for that, but I could. Glad to see you getting back to the Spur. Knowing the bottom bracket was low...especially compared to the Jet 9, I had shorter 170mm XX1 cranks waiting for Spur. I'm still finding more pedal strikes than expected though. I never had to worry about pedal strikes on the Jet...but I'd still make the "transition" to the Spur. I swapped all my XX1drivetrain parts from my Jet 9 over to the spur along with Reynolds XC 309-289 rims with BERD spokes. I also swapped the Rekon in the rear for the New 2.4 Forekaster...the traction is worth the extra weight. I have a new set of Wicked Will Super Ground tires waiting for the North Georgia spring. Have you ever ridden Blankets Creek or Chicopee woods on the north side of Atlanta? Bring that Spur up here and I'll hold the camera for you. I like that new color you have which looks like a perfect Florida color. Excited to see how much weight you drop off the bike. Since your old Jet 9 basically had the same fork shock combo as your new Spur I'm interested to see what you think of that... and then again compared to your previous spurs Rockshox combo. Now that the Spur is available again, someone needs to get some more videos out!

@ClintGibbs Год назад

Yes, I’ve ridden Blankets Creek a lot and ironically mentioned in the video that comes out Sunday morning!

Such a beautiful bike but just not sure if it would suit me or not.

I’m pretty sure it’s the same frame with new colors and a different shock. I have an asked them about UDH compatibility. To verify, shoot an email to transition to ask. I’ll probably do the same thing coming up, as I’m curious as well.

@derekmattice3077 Год назад

Seems like alot of work and money will be needed (as in replacing nearly every component looking for weight savings). Wasn't the XO Spur you had about 25 lbs with a XC carbon wheelset or even less? You are starting nearly four pounds heavier.
