What a privilege it would be to ride my bike in Meteora. God Trodden Mountains! Τι προνόμιο θα ήταν να οδηγήσω το ποδήλατό μου στη Μετεόρα. Θεέ μου, τα βουνά Τρόντεν That was tough. From the USA
Είσαι ωραίος τύπος, πολύ γρήγορος στις καταβάσεις, δυνατός στις αναβάσεις. Λογικά γι'αυτό τα βγάζεις πέρα με τα XC hardtails. Zηλεύω τρελά αυτή την εμπειρία στα Μετέωρα αλλά και το ποδήλατό σου (ψήνομαι για Cragger 7.0). Σου εύχομαι πάντα τέτοια!
Σε ευχαριστώ για τα καλά σου λόγια φίλε! Όντως αξίζει φουλ ο αγώνας αλλά και το ποδήλατο είναι τρελό VFM για καινούργιο, ειδικά του 23-24 που έρχεται με Marzocchi. Θα προσπαθήσω να πάω και φέτος.
Hey man, I just recently bought a cragger 8.0 from 2022 and watching you do so many cool things with the bike is inspiring. Any chance you could make a video of the components you added/left stock on bike? Atm I am not quite happy with the handlebar (too wide at 800mm, thinking of buying a shorter and lighter one) and my rims from newmen are meh.
Hi and thank you very much for you comment!! Unfortunately, i don't think that i'll make such a video anytime soon, but i can tell you the upgrades that i've done. When i serviced the fork i increased the travel from 130mm to 150mm. I cut down the handlebar to 760mm. I switched the drivetrain(except for the crank) from Sram SX to Shimano SLX and because my back rim cracked around the spoke nipples i order some custom wheels, DT Swiss EX511 rims on Hope Pro 4 Purple hubs. Since your bike is new and pretty well spec'ed from the factory, i would keep it as is (except for the handlebar, but you can cut it instead of buying a new one) and replace every piece that breaks down the road with something better.
@@grigoris.platanakis thanks a lot for your honest input. I do intend to keep everything stock for as long as possible, although I am really itching to change to tubeless. But I do not see the point right now as the tubes are still fine, not as plush as I like it but it is fine. I will ride them till I get my first flat then convert them. Do you also have a DVO fork? If yes, is it easy/cheap to convert from 130mm to 150mm? I know longer travel means shittier climbing (at least for me) but you do not seem to have a problem :) Keep up the good videos mate! Ride safe!
@@lxi_zn Oh yes, you should convert to tubeless! I forgot to mention that i've done that. Also i upgraded to 203mm rotors F&R as i weigh 90 kgs and the brakes were running hot. Mine is a Cragger 7 '21 and it came with a Rock Shox 35 Gold, so i have no idea about how easy it is to change the travel on a DVO fork. All you had to do to my fork was to remove 2 travel spacers from the air spring, so the extra travel was free :P
@@grigoris.platanakis οχι οχι.. Δεν το κατακρίνω.. Καλα έκανες. Θα το δω ολο σίγουρα.. Απλα δεν εχω χρόνο.. Εχεις πετύχει πολύ καλή λήψη!!! Μπράβο φίλος 👏👏👏
