I'm excited for Tor's excitement that he's excited about! We all know that new bike day feeling

[DailyMTBRider]

This is the most exciting video I've seen. Was excited to see it, excited I saw it, and excited to tell everyone about it!

[MrDuneTwo]

I am totally impressed seeing Tor flying down the trails. Insane speed for an unknown bike. Can't wait to see what he does once everything is dialed in properly. 👍

That warehouse looks like an absolute dream. Just imagine going through there and picking whatever component you want!!

[MadDawgMTB]

I live all the way across the country and still go to you guys for parts. always impressed with the service and shipping.

[ryansteiger]

Thanks for this cool video. Was very interesting to watch.

What did you think about the dual Bettys? I just picked a MM ultra soft and a couple of Bettys for rears and never thought about running them F/R

Excellent job. I like this kind of video. You don't see these too often.

Awesome video! My friends love their Hayes brakes but use the Hayes -D rotors 203. I definitely see the advantages of the larger SRAM rotors but would like to see Hayes step up and offer a 220 with their design.

such a sweet build you know he rips because he went for a spire instead of a sentinal. I rescently bought a sentinal because the spire is a different kind of beast than i wanted.

well done, really good feedback on the ride. Great rider as well. thanks!

Love the Spire and great riding! Interesting that you found the 38 over damped, I found the similar thing on my 36. Hooked up a shock wiz recently and ended up settling on HSC and LSC 4 clicks from wide open and I am 200lbs (Neutral/Poppy selections). HSR and LSR were not far off from recommended settings and pressure was set to 100psi. I have not used the shockwiz on my Zeb on my other bike, but I can tell even with my base settings on the Zeb, it is for sure more plush and forgiving feeling than my Fox 36. Granted the Zeb is 170mm and is paired with a Push coil.

It seem to rattle a lot. Is it the dropper post cable? I run a large by the way having your size. After a couple years of downsizing, I went for the bigger size this time and couldn't be happier. My build is a bit different but at the end of the day it's about the rider and you are a lot better than I am.
