Downcountry suspension set-up and frame geometry, wide rims and tires, plus a seat dropper = the modern XC race bike. Adding a few pounds of bike weight to get a more capable & forgiving bike is absolutely the way to go. After going from a hardtail to a DC bike a couple of years ago, I am fully bought in and having more fun on the downhills too.
Jolanda is the most fun to watch ride or interviewed, she seams less like a racer and more like a mountain biker who just happens to be really good at racing.
The bike came with all the tools needed to assemble ru-vid.comUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and the included instructional video made assembly a breeze. I bought the 20" bike for my child and it looks very nice and rides well. The 6-speed shifter is a little tight on the ends for the little hand but operates well between gears 2-5.While the paint is of good color, it seems to be very thin. I peeled off the white barcode sticker and it took off a big piece of paint with it. Now I need to find some touch-up paint to seal off the steel from the environment before it rusts...
For a rider that’s around the 65kg mark on 2.4 tyres that sounds about right, especially if he’s running inserts. I’m 75kg and run 1.2 bar on 2.35 tyres on my XC bike, without inserts.
@@MaceraMuhendisi it really depends on the tyre. If it's a superlight tyre with a thin sidewall probably around 2 bar, if it's got reinforced sidewalls like EXO or similar probably 1.6-1.8.
@@MaceraMuhendisi waaaaay too high. Try 1.8 bar and work your way down until you get pinches on roots or rocks, then go up a bit. Also it’s important you go tubeless if you’re not already.
why did avencini left cannondale and go to a no name brand? and btw bike doesnt really matter that much, ineos riders slayed on non branded BMC bikes just like on new pinarello mtb...
Caloi is a brazilian brand and it’s part of Dorel Industries. Cannondale belongs to Dorel too. In 2021 a group from the Netherlands Pon Holdings bought it.
The Caloi, the bike that the real triangle snapped sending Avancini over the bars into boulders two weeks ago, another cheap piece of Brazilian garbage.
Avancini bike sucks, and the bikes becoming heavier, couple years back full suspension bikes were below 10kg , now their weighing nearly mid 10kg . Jolanda Neffs bike is so heavy that she doesn't want to tells us the weight .
The bikes are becoming heavier because the courses are becoming more technical so the bikes need to become burlier to withstand the abuse. And some parts that weigh more work better than lighter parts. Such as SRAM AXS or well, Eagle Transmission. It's heavier than the mechanical counterparts but it's a lot better. And Jolanda Neff's bike is most likely sub-10kg because a stock Trek Supercaliber 9.9 XX1 AXS is 9.29kg, and Jolanda Neffs bike would be even lighter because of the parts it has
