My friends at Torker Racing sent over the new Torker Freestylist 29" frame and fork to check out. You'll watch the unboxing, build, and first ride on the Torker Freestylist. HTTP://www.torkerracing.com
Killer bike dude! Love seeing Shaun working on the bike and explaining things as he goes along. Looking forward to building ours up soon! Thanks for sharing!
Ha! I’ve been editing this one for a month because I keep tinkering with it. Changing bars… changing grips… stems…. I like to tinker with new bikes a lot
I dig those hella bright yellow spokes they pop! Very cool they made that frame with a caliper mount for rear disc. I run those same flight cranks keep an eye on the spindle screw I had one that kept backing out on me, lost it and had to order a set they are locktite in now. Also I am a bit surprised they left the tube ends open on the chain stays and sets stays. As always thanks for the great content Issac!
The rear disc brake just makes sense. It’s a flatland bike and if we could have had disc brakes in the 80s - we would have loved them. Appreciate you bro!
Galvanic rust you mentioned will not occur if less precious metal such as aluminum makes up most of the total in the bicycle part and more precious metal such as stainless acid-resistant bolts make up less in relation in part combination. Greetings from Croatia
Really nice-looking bike. I'm not built for anything bigger than a 26" bike but that one really looks cool. I've always been drawn to that double top tube because it looks unique, but it's unique with a purpose! It's functional art. I just bought a hew bike about a month ago so I'm not even gonna check on pricing and availability. I might end up kicking myself. What did you think of the carbon bars you were originally running. They seemed a bit narrow, but I like the idea of saving weight on a big bike like that.🤙
I haven’t heard anything about sx450 yet, but the anniversary sx250s are real close. I got news this week to be looking for those to hit the website soon.
hey is there any tips on how to wheelie a heavier bike? I bought a thruster saturn 9 29 inch bike unfortunately se bikes are mad expensive and i cant afford them now and before i had this bike i was using a mountain bike 29 inches and it feels like i lost all my progress because i cant barely get the wheel up because the bike feels heavy and it immediately drops. What do i upgrade to fix it
Great question! Two options, find some other buddies at local rides and ask them if you can ride their bikes. Taller or shorter bars might be the answer. Ask what gearing they’re running and go from there. Second, tag me in a video of you trying to pull up and I’ll offer any advice I can from visually seeing what stage you’re at. Wear a helmet and send it. It’s usually not committing to pulling up to the balance point that holds us up. Good luck!
@@BigBikeBMX what are some handle bars that you recommend and is it possible to change gear on a single speed - im also at a stage where im able to wheelie just not for a long time (like 5 seconds or so) its just the new bike feels heavy i can barely pop the wheel up and i cant get it to the balance point.
@@domina_ I like the Supercross 8” flatline bars myself. Any 8” bar will likely help. Without seeing what you’re doing, I can’t really help, but keep practicing
