TKolbo please if you help me and save me watch the whole vídeo ... does this alter the effective fork lenght or is just internal travel wich reduces? Thanks!
I actually do have an overview and first impressions video up on my channel. I plan on doing a review after getting some trail time on it. Right now I’m still waiting for my locals trails to be free of snow and dry up, they are unbearably muddy in spots without snow
Definitely! I’m going to attempt a bracketing tuning video to get it dialed in settings wise as well. I’m hoping the weather we’ve been having holds up and the trails can open in a couple weeks
@Tkolbo_ I wish that was the standard color and finish for the Mezzer or atleast an option still. Looks so much better than the matte black with chrome stickers. The new Mattoc has a polished silver CSU that might glare
Well I enjoy that it is really damn light, and has 37mm stanchions. I haven't had enough time on the trail with it yet (thanks to winter) to really get a good feel of it compared to other forks, but my first impressions are that it is really really rad! I'll keep you updated on the fork as I get to ride it though!
Good video. I am thinking about getting a Mezzer fork. I would drop it down to 140mm travel. Do you notice any difference in ride quality after reducing travel? Thanks.
Yo, so I’ve only ridden it at 160 now, but I’m sure it’ll ride just the same! Except at 140mm it’ll be even more stiff and predictable which is awesome! Also it’s important to note that the air pressure recommendations printed on the fork are for it at 180mm travel. So there are different recs for reduced travel. I put a link to Hayes site for that in the description! At 140mm of travel this fork will seriously slay! Thanks for watching and for the question!
Thanks for replying. I like the idea of having a fork that can serve as a 140 mm trail fork or do a travel change and have a 170 mm enduro fork for a day at the bike park. Now I just need to find a Mezzer.
I mean I just watched this whole thing, I don't have a Manitou fork, AND there was no metal song. Imma have to unsub I'm afraid. :P Seriously though, yes please more tech vids. You know what you're doing and explain it well. "One day I'll be pro" is a perfectly valid sign off, btw.
Damnit I missed a golden opportunity...my previous video really raised the bar and I’m not sure I can get over it...but I do have some ideas for future videos...haha I’m glad you enjoyed the video and that you find my approach to tech videos good and helpful! Maybe I’ll use that for a sign off? Or maybe I’ll steal everyone else’s still!
