Ditto on what Alex said. Tire volume and tread selection makes a bigger difference on a HT when you don’t have suspension. Add a 32T oval chainring and you’ll be able to climb everything!

It really doesn’t need any upgrades.

But-

little things like grips, bar setup, lever placement, fork setup... those are always the coolest to mess with on MTBs imo. Or really any type of bike, but XCMTB in particular.

Cool people, cool bikes, good weather and sweet trails... what a show off...

[RipCityRyan]

Been digging the long distance, slow-mo, through the trees shots recently! 🤙🏼

I'd probably add a dropper & change the front xc tire to something a bit more grip for where you ride. Then I'd add a second wider wheelset with berd spokes for the winter, mud & slop rides.

Oh, man! This is my kind of ride! Sweet, sweet forest, dappled sunlight among the trees, all those woodsy scents....☺

[Kelekona_]

Amazing trail shots. Really enjoyed watching you guys out there.

Exuberant joy = Ron's vocabulary is *chef's kiss*.

[mles]

Ace vid, bike looks mega.
What a beautiful forest.❤️✌️✌️🏁🏁🏁

I am so stoked to see you on a hardtail! and just by reading the comments, it seems like the PNW HT community all congregated here to welcome you with open arms. I look forward to more HT content!

i give you a like for the leftover pastry bag

[dennisstempher]

The editing was insane on this one! Liked it :-)

[cobykluth]

DK, thrilled your expanding the mtb quiver and using it where applicable! Great choices player. I knew Drew would dig your Ripley btw. It is perfect for that adventure, maybe he joins team mtb, too?

[tevemullins]

Epic as always!! Thanks for the inspiration. NEW BIKE DAYS RULE!!!

[speedbird]

Cudos Dustin- the cinematography on this video is extraordinary!! Really enjoyed watching it.

I love riding my wife's Specialized Fate 29er! Feels very different to my Giant xtc and Cannondale Fsi carbon Lefty 29ers.

[whirving]

That is a dream bike. I might only change the tires for something more chonky for that kind of stuff. Also, I'd get used to seeing Ron disappear ahead of me around the next steep switchback, because he's obviously that kind of rider. Good tip on the sammich bag/pastry bag.

[Ethan-xqbo]

Thanks for these videos! Got me off my ass and to a trail today, its the hardest step and you helped!

[johnbodenchuk]

For as much climbing as you do an oval chainring could make a big difference. If you’ve never tried one it would be worth a try. On my 1x12 Eagle I notice I have 1-3 extra gears for climbing compared to a round on some of the steeper climbs.

EBD now featuring EDM soundtrack. Fun for a change, but ultimately I prefer the usual and mellow chances for wolves tunes!
