2020 Commencal Absolut Odyssey BMX Gyro Modifications

I have been using the Odyssey BMX Gyro on my Commencal Absolut for about 6 months. It has held up, works well, and I feel confident in sharing the modifications I made so that anyone else with an Absolute Frame who wants a BMX Gyro can install one. The main problem I ran into was the Gyro tabs on the Absolute frame were drilled too low for normal Odyssey Gyro cables to reach. Most people I've s...
Spring Gravel Bike VLOG - First 50 mile ride this year
Переглядів 2493 роки тому
Multi-surface ride on the NS RAG gravel bike with my friend Brian. First ride beyond 15 miles this year so... went for 50! It was tough, 2000 feet of elevation, some gravel, some road, some rock, some mountain bike trail. We live in a beautiful area where the topography changes dramatically every 5-10 miles. Every ride feels like an adventure where you went somewhere almost completely different.

    I dont know .. about the "good customer service" ..i see this way different here .. the fork is build for that ..manitou circus are used on CUBE bikes and a lot other brands over here .. and not the cheap ones.. Means that this fork should NOT bend after this time ..and even when u was not the Buyer in the first place..from an European perspective it doesnt matter cause its stil guarantie on this thing .. means Manitou make a not realy nice service hear ..cause u own a product with guarantie on..and the still give a fck and give u not e replacement or repair .. they force u to buy a new one .. 40% discount or not .. they already had my money and the product didnt holt there promise .. i would give a fck.. take the original bill and would force them to reaplce the godamn product that failed after 4months .. i dont know why u so happyy about it .. but i guess the customer services are not great over there .. from an EU perspective ..this comapny scammed u.. or the previous buer in this case. But thanks for makin the Video ..i was lookin for a bike with this fork ..now i will totalyy forget about this idea xD

    the foot clearance is why I upsized on the absolut. I was right on the border of sizes but didnt want my feet to hit. Was happy with it, and was surprised there was more foot room than expected. I still havent even tried a barspin on it. honestly wish the brake cable were just an inch or so longer.

    XD aluminium is much stronger but heavier then aluminium you literally have no clue what you're talking about. Magnesium does have a few advantages for forks and certain other applications. But don't act like magnesium is stronger then aluminium. It's lighter and less dense. Steel titanium aluminium then magnesium. And for strength to weight that order as well. Due to newer alloys like reynolds 953 and similar or post weld heat treatment processes. Magnesium at the same weight is thicker. Which can have some advantages. And you can go larger diameter with less weight penalty which also has advantages. Manitou are 35mm I believe. Fox and now marz are 36.

    Interesting. So many years of jamming with a conventional arch. Then a few years ago, I got a fork with a reversed arch. It took some getting used to, but now my jams are more controlled and can be even quicker. Can you jam with a reverse arch? Hell yeah, even better than with a classic arch.

    heya i have a question regarding the fork. Im noticing a lot of "wobbling" when i press my absolut down in speedy pumptrack corners. It feels horrible. So i noticed the manitous fork system allowes one end of the fork move with the axle freely. My question is are you supposed to tighten the 2 screws wich hold the 6edge end of the axle, so it doesnt move anymore? Or is it supposed to move ? I can press together the fork with my bare hands... Sry for my english

    I bought a long PBJ last year to get back into dirt jumping, but looking to get something shorter & more nimble. What's your thoughts on steel vs aluminum? I've only had steel, an NS Suburban & the PBJ. Loved my NS, but can't find one to go with the Pike on my PBJ. I mostly ride my local jump park that is mostly buffed out dirt. I'm not hitting the pro lines anymore at my age.

    • @johnseip
      @johnseip 2 роки тому

      Aluminum is a little lighter. More harsh feeling for street and skatepark. I recently went back to Chromoly with The Rise Partymaster. I would say NS decade would fit the aluminum shorter more nimble category you are looking for. The PBJ and Commencal Absolut have low bottom brackets so they are a little less nimble but feel amazing on jumps. Just go with medium instead of long if you want shorter on those frames.

Can't splurge money on the fork so I feel like the Expert is a good in between. Do you think me weighing around 210 lbs (95kg) makes this fork a no go? Also, I'm thinking about getting the 120-130mm since I'm planning on doing dirt jumps and maybe even som trail.
