Ride it on your local trails. Makes it much easier to compare apples to apples with what you have.

This video right now has only 300 upvotes, but it deserves 10,000 upvotes. Many of the things being mentioned are not going to be mentioned in other bike channels. Very practical and useful stuff. Not sexy, just knitty gritty stuff the real rider will encounter in real riding.

Thanks man. Yeah, a sexy clickbait title would get more views, but I favor the direct, no BS approach.

I appreciate this video a lot. VERY good information, Steve! I wish more bike review videos on RU-vid took this advice; and possibly even form some sort of a review template (of sorts). Too many bike reviews are a combination of marketing lingo, regurgitated company script, and B.S. As much as bike reviews can be skewed personally, it would benefit so many of us that are looking for comprehensive review information to not have to sift through so much fluff and babble.

Loved your point about tire pressures. Companies/Demo guys are BRUTAL when it comes to tire pressures. Can't count how many I have been to with tires well over 30 PSI... Basically an unacceptable pressure for most trail riding...

Great advice! I made that mistake. Bought the V3 Bronson as soon as it was released without a test ride and few reviews available. The geo, spec, sizing was everything I wanted so I pre-ordered it. Turned out to have few qualities I actually liked. Took a huge loss when I sold it a year later and I learned my lesson.

@thunderdogproductions 3 года назад
thanks for these tips! I brought my spare pedals for the girl when she tested bikes out. That and lowering the front tire about 4 psi made ALL the difference! fellow hard-tailer here, hoping to run into ya on the trails in Sedona soon!

I love the advice of trying to make as much as possible similar (tire pressure etc) 👍👍. For me I want to ride a bike on the type of trails I ride most often. Something may feel good on a demo, but it is not the terrain I usually ride.

Excellent tips. Wearing and talking into a GoPro is a great idea. Also, Excellent riding. That staircase just off the parking lot to devils kitchen is super steep. You made descending that look easy.

Hey Steve - Killer tips here. Very helpful and insightful. Any insight on Maxxis High Rollers? I ride a Trek Roscoe and pretty much only trail ride. The terrain where I live (Ontario, Canada) is a great mix of flowy singletrack, rock shield, techy rock stuff in places. Would love your thoughts.

Great information. Since we cover all weights on the scale. What is your body weight /tire pressure %?
@hardtailparty
@hardtailparty 4 года назад
It has more to do with rim width, riding style, tire width, and terrain than rider weight.

@patchesthejaybird8431
@patchesthejaybird8431 4 года назад
This is probably a better way to do it than I do... order frame, cross fingers. The reason, is that I end up dead set on a frame I cannot find locally.

Check with your local bike shop, and also check with your favorite bike companies to see if they're coming near you. Sometimes youll have to drive and hour or two.

There are a lot of reasons why I hate and avoid demos in that video. Most demos are improperly setup and you can’t properly evaluate them. You end up liking the one which happened to be more closely setup for you.

Exactly. Hopefully this video can help people set them up properly so they can better evaluate them.
