Good tip! I’m always careful not to touch the braking surface. 👍🏼

I’m not sure I understand your comment but it sounds like a lovely setting

Which rack do you prefer?

The trail is called Los Pinetos and it’s located in Newhall, CA.. about 30 min north of Los Angeles

@@ShreddingSpree Oh nice, I'll have to check it out when it's not 90°+ in DTLA. I take it's the black trail & not the blue trail(start looks a bit hard to get to?)?

@@Alex_564 yes, trail forks has it marked as a black trail but I’d say it’s a solid blue. It has a few steeps spots and a couple rough spots however in my opinion it’s only difficult if you’re going fast. The climb is a little tough. It’s called the beast because it’s so long with minimal protection from the sun. The trail is worth the cost of admission though.

@@ShreddingSpree Oh nice. Looks like I'll check it out in the fall. Have you done the section rated blue, is that also worth it?

@@Alex_564 I have not and actually don’t know anyone who has. That section drops down the south side of that ridge toward Sylmar. You’d have to climb the mountain again to get back to your car.

I don’t have an experienced answer for this one. I know 1up offers a fender cushion accessory but am personally unaware of the amount of flex it causes on fenders.

Yes but may require their fat tire spacer kit and fender cushion accessories.

Rad! Have fun!

Are they under 75lbs each?

Mine is S3

In this video I had the same setup on both bikes. 2.5 DHF (front) and 2.5 Aggressor (rear) Both are Maxxis For trails I run 21 psi in the front and 23 in the rear. I just swapped the rear on the rallye for a 2.4 maxxis dissector so we’ll see how that goes.

I’m running similar setups(but 2.6’s) on my Rootdown and Middlechild. Typically run 15-17 up front and 20-23 out back depending on how chunky I think the trail will be. Going to2.5’s on the RD just to change things up… slightly 🤓

@@TriciaHamilton1969I feel like my tires start folding in the corners when I drop below 20psi

@@ShreddingSpree Same for the rear... Haven't had it happen in front..Yet.... :)

Just checked them out. They look cool!

Awesome! Thanks for the good vibes!

Good hack!

Here ya go bud. rideworks.cc/shop/headset/

@@ShreddingSpree Thanks :)

I unfortunately do not have an electric bike with fenders. The compatibility depends a a handful of factors. However I have been told that 1up does offer a padded attachment for the rack arms for this specific scenario

There isn’t a universal answer here. It depends how long the fenders are

I don’t know. Who said anything about a zap strap?

Meh. Not really. The handle is pretty easy to reach without the quick release extension with only 2 bikes. Since I switch the configuration somewhat frequently between 2,3, and 4 bikes I’d rather not deal with the extra steps. However I suppose if your rack will always be configured for two bikes it could be worth it for ease of use.

Equip’d rack= 50lbs weight capacity per tray Super Duty- 75lbs per tray. Equip’d is not off-road rated either. Just “gravel” rated. So I don’t know what part of that rack could be considered stronger than the super duty… What part of the equip’d rack is wider and what’s the benefit of that?

I’ve just ruined enough parts over the years that I figured it out by process of elimination. Not the cheapest approach 🤣🤣

@@ShreddingSpree😂😂

I haven’t tried it yet but I should. Part of the reason is I haven’t had the desire to make the bike any more slack than it already is.. but for the sake of science I should probably give it a go. Check back in with me in a few weeks and I’ll have an answer for you. 👍🏼

Thank you man! Another random question since you know a lot about the subject: I bought a Santa Cruz Chameleon 8 Mx a long time ago and I was wondering if I could be able to set it up as a full 27.5, but I’m not sure which size fork (I was thinking Fox Factory) I will have to run with it without damaging the gio of the bike. I know Santa Cruz recommend 29er or Mx but I’m 99% I could convert it to a full 27.5. I just love jumping around on the trail, and honestly didn’t like the mullet as much here in Miami, FL (There is nothing super deep). Thanks again for your videos and comments. I just find out of your channel, great content. You got a new subscriber!

I’m also in between going full 29er with the SC Chameleon or go full 27.5, it just be easier because I have the correct fork. I will just need the dropouts for the 29er but I just don’t know if I’m going to be able to jump around on my trails and have fun

@@DanielRodriguez-jz1id hey Daniel. I’m not sure about your question regarding fork travel/full 27.5. Personally I would probably try to get a 27.5 fork that matches the travel of the 29” but have the ability to add 10mm of travel if you feel like you want the stance to have more stack. Also, personally, I’d be more likely to go full 29” in Florida where the trails are flatter. I feel like I’d enjoy maintaining more speed. However if you are jumping and jibbing more often the full 27.5 may suit you better. Hope that helps.

Hey Mark. I’ve driven the rack distances with 2,3, and 4 bikes on the back and never had issues with bikes hitting eachother… aside from pedal rub.. One thing you have to consider when mounting bikes on it is clearance between one bike’s handlebar and the next bike’s seat/seatpost. This is easily remedied by offsetting the bikes to either side of the rack further or closer depending on the situation. Or by simply dropping the height of the seats. There will always be wobble forward and back on the bikes because they are fixed to the rack by the tires which obviously have flexibility unless air’d up to very high psi (too high for MTB’s) and I don’t consider this movement to be a problem at all.

That’s another way to do it!
