Awesome montage at the end Doddy. Saw a short clip of my submission. Awesome thanks. Good luck to the top ten entries. Love the show, I’ve watched them all. Keep up the good work. Great to see some South African bikes (Momsen) making it onto the show.

GMBN Tech, the only channel on yuotube where you can get compliments on the type of vice you have :DD

Hay GMBN Tech, good to hear from you guys again. I must admit that is the strangest fork that i have ever seen :)
Looking forward to next weeks episode, (Getting hyped for the GMBN Tech bike build winners announcment!!!)
Have a hella day mates :)
Thanks for everything

I'd like to see an in depth review of the Lauf fork please.

Great to see my BigWig make it on to Top Mods! Cheers! I’ve now got 2 Super Nice bikes in the Vault & a Top Mod to be proud of!!! After a few test rides I found the 800mm bars to be too wide, so with help from my local bike shop they are now 780 and it all feels perfect. Off to Surrey Hills today to give it a damn good thrashing! Cheers!!!

The fork looks freaky enough for me to be curious about it and to want to try it. Thanks for yet another great tech video!

9:19 My bike is also custom painted. When I ride, rocks are chipping away the paint, which i then replace with the closest match to prevent aluminium from oxidising :-)

Can put numbers like weights, widths, prices and so on separate graphics? For non-native speaker, it's hard to visualize "wheelbase 1347mm, reach 472mm and axel crown 527mm" number barrage :).

I have some insider knowledge of this fork and I know personally the people who designed it, all I can say is it is really heavy and sturdy but wait around for a couple months and there will be something more usable and practical for cross country riders and everyday people.

Guys i cant wait for the gmbn bloopers

You can see that the motion of the Trust fork is back and then up, allowing for a more natural suspension movement of the front wheel.

I don't know what to think about these forks, but I TRUST Dave Weagle...get it? Trust? Hello? I'll see myself out.

Bentonville is such a fun place to ride!

[jimi]

Im so happy to be able to own that bike on the thumbnail😍😍😍

[tonyyates]

That fork is over engineered, too expensive, pretty ugly aesthetically, and really not really necessary.
It will fail badly when it's released.

[imnotgivingmynametoamachine]

That fork looks awesome, it has a mantis feel to it.

[TroggyPK]

That fork screams "pull the front brake and i'll throw you over the bars"

The old slogan for the Dawes range was "More fun out of Dawes". I had their 1970 racing green road bike
