In the XCO World Cup pits you’ll find a lot of very high performance mountain bikes, but Sam Gaze’s steeds always seem to stand out from the crowd. His bike setups and resulting position is rather specialist to say the least.

Bikes like this with the best of the best brands of every component are amazing and so impressive

@AndrewShackleton 4 года назад

I love the absence of all the long low slack B.S. This is geometry that works for 90% of the trails out there.

@timothykeehn2267 4 года назад

If it was mine

@Marty00011 6 лет назад

It's so clean, imagine it with wireless shifter, one wire less. (bikes are really going back to basics)

@lisapet160 6 лет назад

First bike porno I watched in two months or so. Click-bited by the the look and geometry that are similar to my HT, including different F and R tires (with way lower position at components scale of course). So excited to see I don't need an upgrade for fullsuss :). If it's good for Gaze, I'll just have to upgrade myself. BTW, the "ovalized" chainring keeps the chain further from the chain stay during (bumpy) descent, hence less chain banging against the stay. That's personally to me is the main advantage. If it helps smoothen power distribution, I don't mind :)

@pauperismarti2226 6 лет назад

Awesome video, and those carbon ti red axles front and rear look so clean!

@shawnconti8915 5 лет назад

frame size??

@hondacota4rt 6 лет назад

Maybe with a frame that suits his hight, he would have less problems in the technical bits of the races... I doubt this is the largest size...

@Montblanc1986 6 лет назад

Valentin Maissen he's between sizes and rides the large for head tube length

@kyledommaschk451 6 лет назад

having a smaller frame makes it more nimble/agile...

What is the size of the tyres? 29 x 2.25 or 2.35?

@Skynet_11 6 лет назад

Titanium caliper bolts?

@Quevallyn 6 лет назад

#askgmbn All the pro bike checks, particularly XC bikes, focus on how lightweight the bike and its components are. Is there a UCI minimum weight for mountain bikes like there is for road bikes or is it the same minimum weight of 6.8kg?

@neilmacpherson260 6 лет назад

no limits phew, tech can be as good/ light/ strong as the designers can manage. yay

@kyledommaschk451 6 лет назад

Andrew Kirk since xc racing is more technical than road racing the designers are more concerned about going fast rather than just weight

@eddiebhoy6754 6 лет назад

Awesome looking bike but wish they would review bikes most people can afford

@jonienglish3231 4 года назад

Doddy Does it again what size is the Framset ? Sam is a Big Bloke 6ft 2"

@highhaaaaays2378 3 года назад

Are shorter chainstay better than longer ones?

@declanviljoen394 6 лет назад

how wide is the tires you dont tell that in any of your videos

@kyledommaschk451 6 лет назад

Declan Viljoen 2.3 in the front 2.1 in the back

@danumtanapaser18 3 года назад

Very nice 😍😍😍

@pierrebroccoli.9396 6 лет назад

All very nice but how does it manual, bunny hop logs and play in rock gardens off large drops? I have enough problem with a 70mm stem on my xc hardtail but at least I can get the saddle out the way with my dropper.

@valdemarjohansen2209 6 лет назад

Piers B. It doesn't want to do that mate, it's an xc race bike

@scottjohannen2688 6 лет назад

Look up Chris Blevins on instagram. He shreds his epic hardtail like no other

@pierrebroccoli.9396 6 лет назад

Noo, say it isn't so. I ride an Radon Race 8.0 2014 Alu XC race bike 20"at 6'2" Thrown on 2.35 Schwalbs Nics - tubless, New grips which I have set at 740mm on 700mm bars, Stem is standard 70mm and I added a 105mm dropper post. I now take it down drops and through some tough technical trails. My only remaining issues are 80mm forks which I set at 10-15% sag to minimise bottom out when punished and the DT Swiss X1900 wheels which are a bit narrow at 20mm internal. I was having issues manualling but now I am keeping my head up, I am finding it much easier. That S-works does have a long stem on it though. XC hard tails can be punished though. ))

@MrNeurovegal 6 лет назад

well, I'm a roadie and in the XC/MTB just a newbie. So... could anyone explain the difference from this Magura disk brake and the SRAM level ultimate this bike originally comes with? Weight? Rider´s personal preferences? Any other difference? Thanks a lot.

@kyledommaschk451 6 лет назад

weight

@Unfinished_sentenc 5 лет назад

I really love my XTR Race brakes, I did enjoy my Mags and the strong Zee’s but overall I’d recommend the race for sure. Best feel

@Unfinished_sentenc 5 лет назад

Thank you for the video. That’s art! Mines the almost-identical non-S Works Stumpjumper and I love it every day on the back trails of The Otter. May I ask which size tires he ran front to rear? I’m at 29X2.1 - 29X2.3.

@B.E.C.K. 2 года назад

I’m searching for a 17”-20”, 1995-2001 Stumpjumper M2 or an S-works frame if anyone has one or a lead on one please let me know. My rockhopper frame just started to get hairline cracks so unfortunately need to replace it, figured I’d see if I can get lucky and find a stumpy or Sworks. Even if you’re reading this in a few years from now, I’ll always be interested. Just drop a reply comment and I’ll see it in my notifications and get back to you. Thanks! Love the retro MTB community- you all are great!

@benge3092 6 лет назад

Whats the bump guard do? Still dont get it....

@canubra 6 лет назад

Ben Ge It stops the fork crown hitting the frame if you crash which could damage the carbon. Instead it will hit the bump guard and the bump guard will absorb the impact.

@gabrieledalessio6707 6 лет назад

a proper front tire

@justw4lkbesideme 4 года назад

Is 130 mm stem good for steering of mtb bike)

@gmbntech 4 года назад

130's pretty long! Something shorter would give you more stability in feeling

@keirfarnum6811 3 года назад

My XC bike from the 90s had a 135mm stem; and I’m only 5’6”. It changes the steering a little and creates a larger arc for turning the bars; but it didn’t really matter that much as no one really steered by the bars at speed. It’s slightly noticeable at slow speed though. If it’s too long though, it can feel a bit like it’s out front of the wheel and can be a little bit “divey” if you’re steering from the bars (if that makes sense). With today’s wider bars, it could potentially make it feel like you’re having to make huge sweeping arm movements when steering from the bars at low speed though; so the wider bars work better with shorter stems. I hope that helps.
