Congrats on getting back on the bike and the weight loss. I had a shoulder surgery last year and put on some weight. Long story short, I changed my diet and went from 220lbs to197lbs. Feeling great. Love the channel, keep up the good work.

Hey Evan at 6:52 your chain is skipping because your cassette is worn out and possibly your front chainring is also but most likely the cassette. Usually, you can get 2 maybe 3 chains out of 1 cassette but if you ride a chain worn too long it will just wear the cassette faster so you probably need a new cassette.

Thanks for the opportunity. Glad to see your doing well!

Yo!!! Good to see you back on the bike bro! I feel your pain with the rear brake hose routing… Done it on all my e-bikes and it’s quite the chore. It does get a little easier each time though. Good luck to everyone entering for the T9 raffle! That bike rips!! 🤘🏻

I just put a coil shock on my budget Norco A4. It transformed the bike to a much higher end feeling bike. Incredible difference!

[martinsimandl]

That bike looks awesome and a lot of fun man! Good to see you're healed up

Such a good YouTuber makes my day when you upload

I'm watching from Bangladesh, it's almost been more than a year when I first watched your vid from yt recommendation. it's sad for me that it was US only giveaway. Anyway loved your quality videos especially the videos where you compare cheap vs expensive parts or trying out new bike machinery. Keep making those love from Bangladesh

Now that you lost the weight, it's time to start getting on the second channel for some XC racing. Glad to see you ride again

Good to see you’re doing well. I broke my collarbone 2 and a half weeks ago when I went over the bars on a blue trail of all things :-/

So frustrating walking downstairs and seeing my Nukeproof Scout in its stand, but not being able to ride it and seeing the last of the good weather this year slip away.

Ah well I’m alive and it should heal up fine and at least i can replace my bent brake levers with higher end ones.

Stoked for you to be back riding.
