How tall are you?

How tall are you and what size frame is that? thanks

For a person 5’4, what size tires do you recommend?

Ok now do a video on how to find a boyfriend who wants to help me learn to mountain bike 😂 I'm getting ready to learn on my own and wishing I had a little help lol

Hi there. Thanks for this review! I'm looking for a hardtail for my beginner daughter who is 4'11" and will likely only get to under 5'4" so I don't think I want a 26" but she's petite and light at 82 lbs currently. If the head tube angle was adjusted do you think the xs 27.5 would be suitable for a beginner her size? TIA!! Melody

Just stumbled on your channel - Subscribed 🌻 Would love to see some RUclips Shorts though... Thats usually what I end up watching :-p Cheers again for the inspiration & for sharing what you do 🌈

Single Speed Since 2004… on a 26 er from Vicous Cycles!!! love that bike

Thanks so much for the great review! I'm just getting into mountain biking and I couldn't justify the price tag of the Roscoe 9 but it inspired me to buy the Roscoe 7, just picked it up today!

What the pros of this vs the shotgun pro? I'm deciding. Thank you so much!!!

Ist that clacking sound coming from the gopro or is it the bike?

Love your channel! So helpful...and always fun! Mark, from Lovely Ouray, Colorado

Im not Betty, but I will subscribe :)

Well done, thank you.

"will it fit a burrito?" girl is asking the right questions 😂 Was able to demo one of these bikes recently on a decent trail but it was on the East coast and super rainy. Totally agree with you. You feel super stable after a drop even in damp conditions. I didn't slip on any wet roots or wet rocks and as a beginner on a moderate trail, that says a lot. This bike made a beginner feel safe comfortable and confident on a moderate mountain bike trail in less than ideal conditions.

Great Review! Super knowledgeable rider, and very informative video. Appreciate your unique rider profile and perspective. I love different riders giving reviews!

Was there any psi adjustments?

I know this is an older video but awesome. Just popped up in our feed. 😄

Thankyou for this video. I had never even considered things such as brake levers being designed around larger hands/longer fingers. I’ve secretly purchased a Liv Tempt 27.5 for my wife, size small for her 5’6” height and I couldn’t believe how difficult it was to find a bike that would fit her fairly average size. I’ll show her this video after I’ve gifted her the bike.

I just surprised my wife with a new ibis ripmo af size small. She's 5'4" with a 30" inseam and complaining about fitment. Just stumbled on your review. Do you think she'd benefit from the medium?

❤😢no tu oranžové už nedělají 😢

Put the wheel set on the bike you will ride the most and then maybe swap them here and there for specialty rides (BCT, Bikepacking with Steve, etc).

I just got a set of berd spokes with onyx hubs on we are one rims. I think they would be a bigger improvement to the hard tail. Give it a shot

For tires, Tioga Edge 22 on the front with Schwalbe Nobby Nic rear

May I ask size S are you satisfied with it or did you prefer size M? because my height is same but I can’t make decide the size my altitude I ride M but yea is a huge bike and if I compare the geometry chameleon seems small compared to the altitude or scout 290 in size M Thank you in advance

All I see is videos by You People. RUclips channels that are commercials forproducts. Ttesters. Reviewers. Not Actual Owners. Yip. Makes a big difference. And being that there exists only two verified owners of the Instinct Powerplay, compared to the on-loan/rental videos, gotta say, just how many are spending $Thousands$ to purchase a bicycle with a electric motor?

Love the vespers. Had them pre-ordered 1 year before release. I h8 noisey bikes… I wanna hear the nature. As for tyres, I recommend the Italian brand Vittoria with Martello on the front and Agarro on the back. I use this combo, as it’s fast rolling / semi light / good grip in wet/dry. Bonus: Not many ride them so they (in my country in EU) are cheaper then the “big dogs”.

Off topic - but I notice you running the Absolute Black brake pads - curious how you like them?

I also have Ibis S35 hoops with Berd spokes with the Onyx Vesper on my Ripmo, and I have a Berd TR30 wheel set on my Rocker. As I'm sure you already know, it was a much more noticeable upgrade on the hardtail. The Ripmo can make due with whatever. It's got a lot of tire volume, and a lot of suspension under it, but it did benefit bigtime from the increase in hub engagement. The stock Ibis logo hub was pretty sloppy. The soft engagement is fantastic. I'd ditch that rear Assegai, and run an Aggressor back there. The Assegai is just to slow rolling for a rear tire when you're earning your elevation.

Depending on how much you ride the hardtail, I would put the berd spokes/wheelset on that bike. I run plus tires on my hardtail with lower psi and it really helps on small and big hits. I imagine it would do the same as the berd spokes on your bike. For tires I run big knobs on the front (DHR2) and faster rolling (Rekon, Bontrager XR, Specialized, or whatever is on sale😂) I just got back from Sedona. The trails are incredibly fun. I can’t wait to come back next Spring.

Thanks for the video! I really want to try those spokes on my gravel bike....

Spesh Purgatory t5 or t7 rear and butcher or slaughter t9 2.6 front? Or 2.6 Ground Control on the hardtail with the wheelset.

It sounds like you need a second wheelset!

The DHF in a max terra up front is nice and quick with an aggressor out back only issue is they have exo and dd no exo+. If you wanted super fast rolling forkaster upfront and a rekon exo+ out back is a super fun big bike combo for the desert. I just got a pair of the onyx classics on some dt swiss 511s and it’s such a cool wheelset love that soft engagement I totally get what you mean about not throwing your weight off balance.

Thanks for the video about the spokes. My wife and I were just talking about going back to Sedona soon and your video makes me miss riding there even more. Some may laugh because it's an easy trail but Big Rock Loop is my absolute favorite for a warmup.

Those are beautiful hubs. Enjoyed this video. Was neat to hear you talk about the impact these had on your ride and how you could feel the difference going over rocks. Q: do you run inserts? Q: what psi do you run? Parker is same weight as you and runs 19 psi with her bikes. One has inserts one doesn’t. She gets bounced a bit on her XC hardtail which has inserts. Hello to Hardtail and LD

Love my onyx vespers with berd spokes laced to noble 36's. They 100% spin up faster. My only complaint is then you really notice the other noises your bike makes.

Great video and riding. That Onxy hub looks really good. Steve did a great job building up those wheels. I know about the lightweight thing. I only weigh 135 lbs. Hope Steve is getting better, Pedal safe you guys

I ride the Atomic berd ultimate FM 30 on my bike. Took Steve’s idea and run Ground Controls front and rear. Wow- tons of grip and rolls fast! Love to see more videos of you and him riding together!!! Best of luck to both of you!!!

The lack of noise is my favorite part of the Onyx hubs. I had I9's and the sound gets annoying. Engagement was practically the same. The downside to the Onyx is when you catch up to slower riders they don't hear you coming a 1/2 mile away.

I’m also a smaller rider, ride an Ibis Mojo. Wonder if those wheels would be good for my bike too.

This review is what helped me decide to get my 2019 Chameleon!

Use the R.A.D. method of measuring yourself for bike size. It's a way more tailored method then manufacturer recommendations. When it doubt pick smaller. If needed add longer stem, higher riser bar. I'm 6' on a medium. I find the reach often too long on a large where my height is mostly in my legs.

I’m a little jealous!!! Love the trip and thank you for showing others what life is all about!!!

I just bought a 2023 Rocky Instinct C30 for less than $3K delivered to my door. Didn't really need a bike, but could not pass. Crazy you like the cutting edge bikes and Steve keeps it as simple as he can w bikes. I know he rides and owns FS bikes too... he can't resist.

What’s the weight?

Awesome review--and thanks for sharing your take on the Forest Evo and Fury. 😎

thank you and so nice to hear and see your reviews! how about reviewing the one of the Juliana's that "YOU" prefer for Sedona, unless it is the Furtado? 🙂

With all those adjustments I say let’s turn it into a mullet right now! You can really find your sweet spot in the geo numbers with a frame like that. Love the way Rocky Mountain puts the Canadian maple leaf on the paint work. You do good review videos, try and do more. I got my wife out riding with me more, on one of the many hardtails I bought watching too much hardtail party. She really enjoys riding so I got her the Juliana furtado. Yes we have a lot of mullet bikes in the garage, can’t help it, they are pretty fun. I will find a 29er I like one of these days.

Nice looking bike. Looking forward to the ride review.

Hey! Nice review! Love how you're just as detailed as any reviewer out there but still very grounded and neutral. And hope Steve's getting better - saw his Neuhaus HT review, I can't tell now whether it's a pre-diagnosis or post-diagnosis video; he's doing well. :) Also, looking forward from your reviews for bikes with smaller riders in mind - am not blessed vertically so I'd love to see more variety! Currently running the new Pivot Shadowcat in small, with a 636mm (I think) standover and it's really comfy yet fun. Mojo 4 also comes to mind! Happy riding and take care both!
