Cheers. Was a lot harder than I thought. The stages were well more extreme hah!

cheers, i did the first 2 last visit but theyre much bigger now! just watched your video, very nicely done, i was going to look at the first 2 again this weekend gone but unfortunately my bike is still in the shop being serviced... maybe next time

I honestly can’t remember sorry. Was mapped and possibly decat. I’d go dsg if I were you though.

The top half and the “4x track” would be ok but the lower section is far too tech for a hardtail to be enjoyable at all. One of my mates has an orange crush but we told him it would be very unenjoyable 🤣

@@drbrowny90 Is there enough in the top half and 4x to have a good day as i am thinking of going?

@@joeelliott1781 would limit your day but also lessen your push back up to the top haha. I mean you could have a go on the second half there is loads of different trails and options I just couldn’t imagine it being very enjoyable

@@drbrowny90 Ok thanks

FJs 29th or return to Descend?

Haha cheers. All healed now. I’m stoked in my at7 so you must be loving the at8. I’ve just bought a fox dpx2 rear shock to replace the crappy xfusion that came on it can’t wait to get it fitted

@@drbrowny90 you'll love the dpx2. Its really suited to this suspension setup. Also another upgrade that makes the bike feel a bit more responsive is going tubless. It saving rotational weight is 3x the weight of the tube and the wheels is where you feel that, coupled with less chance of ride ending punctures its a win win

@@jameslines9794 ahh cool that’s good to hear. Tubeless is on my list of things to do. Not been out much recently as been grabbing overtime at work whilst it’s been available. Can’t wait to get back out though.

J. Sal cheers dude! the rear shock is quite poor and tricky to get right, let’s just put it that way. I have found for myself running about 50psi higher than recommended that it’s not too bad and bottoms out less. First major upgrade will be a new shock for sure.

@@drbrowny90 Well then, you've given me something to think about. I'm debating between the Alpine 7 or Rift Zone 3 ($200 more). The cost of a necessary new shock will offset that extra cost if the RZ3. Do you have any experience with the RZ3 at all? Either way, your quick response was greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

J. Sal the rift zone 3 and AT7 were both actually top of my list with a maybe 55:45 to the AT7 due to having the more travel that I am used to and then the AT7 went in the sale at £1750 so was a no brainer. The AT8 was also in the sale for 2500 which would probably have been the better option but I’m a sucker for a bargain haha. I have no regrets, I bought the bike knowing the shock was going to be a weak point. Just lucky I got it cheaper.

Just bought a fox dpx2 to swap to next week will report back 👍🏼

@@drbrowny90 Very nice! I got my AT7 last month finally and I'm really liking it so far! I was thinking of upgrading to a coil shock in the near future, but I'm not sure yet. I am curious about the FOX DPX2, so yeah, a report on how well that shock works out for you would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!

In the middle? Only missed out on about 10 meters of rock garden so no biggy . Pretty sure there will be no bad feelings or “trail erosion” either.

UnknownID haha if anything I’m getting worse! The bruising has come out in full force and struggling to walk now 🤣😩 so many people had said it looks like Wilson so had to drop him in the video 🤟🏼🤟🏼

Biking Down Under Yo! You well?

Dan Brown yea doing alright. Up to the usual mischief ;). U?

Biking Down Under very good 👌🏼 yeh same old but will be off the bike after that crash now for a few weeks unfortunately 😭😭

Dan Brown yep same here :/

Biking Down Under sending healing vibes

Why not?

Because it’s on 69? 🤣🤣

I haven’t changed it yet or looked properly. I’ll probably go for a coil shock though of some sort.

@@drbrowny90 Changed It! Can't wait to try It on a proper Trail, but I'll have ti wait a Little. I broke my rib in a crash last week. Anyway, Just a bit of pumping and jumping on the spot in the parking lot and It feels a lot more progressive and "bottomless". I got a Rockshox Deluxe select plus with a debonair spring, taken from a brand new Trek they had at a store. It was a bargain, considered that my local Rockshox reseller has no trunnion mounts for aftermarket shocks (they only come mounted on bikes) and that the Fox Dpx2 Is way too expencive for me now.

Mat Matteo awesome glad you’ve sorted a decent shock. Sorry to hear about your crash I also had a big crash yesterday too! Video be up later tonight 🤣🤟🏼 healing vibes bro!

Mike Desilets cheers man! Little touches 👌🏼

Cheers! Managed to get one in the Tredz sale back in March. Pretty lucky now there’s nothing anywhere.

Cheers man!

Cheers bro! You’re gonna be so stoked on the bike!

Sorry I’ve only just seen this comment. You’d be better with a rift zone or hawk hill for that kind of riding. Something more trail related than enduro related.

I ordered from tredz I think they make a point of bikes being pretty much fully assembled compared to other places.

Mat Matteo glad you’re enjoying. I emailed Marin and asked for the torque specs. Not sure about spacers for the shock, it’s for sure the weakest part of the bike so I’m going to replace rather than fiddle with.

Local bike shop should have spacers available. If you keep bottoming out it’s probably a good idea. I bought the same bike a few months ago and I’m thinking about doing the same with the x fusion. No need to upgrade until I beat this one to death then I’ll probably get a rear spring or the fox float.

@@Islandstonr The thing is that there is no xfusion or marin reseller in Italy, except for one xfusion service centre almost in Austria who I contacted and asked for the spacers. He told me he does not have any and doesn't know when he will. Around my area no one knows about this shock. The thing is, it's not only the bottom out, it also dives too much in corners etc. When i use the recomended pressure. I would need a hell of a spacer if i keep the sag at 30. For now i am trying with 22%sag and fuck the small bumps, but it is starting to feel like a hardtail 😂. Still much better than the old cannondale jekyll i had. I will replace the shock , unless i soon find the spacers that fit, with a rockshox deluxe I think. I can't afford the fox or a coil now.

Joneser858 cheers man. Sorry I’m not a bit more technical about it all hahah. Maybe in future videos once I’m more used to it 🤣

Cheers man. Done a few more since this one 👍🏼👍🏼

Dan Brown yeah I watched them all today just ordered one of the marlin alpine trail 7s and can’t wait it looks quality big upgrade from my 300 quid carrera😂

Nice one! You’re gonna love it mate!

Cheers man! Hoping the local bike park opens up again soon!!!

Lisja Redo sorry just seen this. I’m 6ft2 and went for the XL

Gator Mack cheers man! I’m from Yorkshire in England. You’re gonna love the bike!

@@drbrowny90 cheers back at you. Thanks for the reply. Here is a new jump line that opened last year in the Sandy Ridge trail system that I ride.. ua-cam.com/video/pe5VEL6crfU/v-deo.html

James Cook they’re just dmr vault pedals with blue pins. Can buy them anywhere that sells bike parts 👍🏼

sambo92 true story hahah.

UnknownID hahah if only! Matt Jones is the boiiii! Loving being back out on a bike though it’s been about 10year.

@@drbrowny90 best thing about this shitty epidemic is taking up biking after a break since I was 16. learnt how to bunnyhop instead of doing work for uni haha

Hahah that’s awesome man! Every cloud has a silver lining and all that 🤣

Ben Lyle nice one! So far can’t fault it at all. Just need to get my head around air suspension. As you probs saw in the vid my last bike was a relic 🤣

Biking Down Under cheers man! Yeh got some new bits for it in the post already. Will upgrade as I get my confidence back etc. Can’t wait for lockdown to be over so I can get to the bike parks! More videos to come so feel free to subscribe 😊

Dan Brown nice. Cant wait! I subbed

Biking Down Under legend!

Biking Down Under a new video up!

Dan Brown nice thanks!

Louise R. Wait til we get to Leeds bike park etc hahah. Be better too when my chest mount arrives. No more shakey footage and horrible vibration noise

I think its the confidence DSG gives you, my problem in my DSG is i barely lift off 😂 But in my manual i tend to be lighter footed

@@saamonlinee7259 it was a joke bud I know the guy that posted it and it was me driving the dsg car 🤣
