How Different Can Two “Aggressive” Hardtails Be?
STEEL IS REAL!
I hope you're a hardtail geek like me! In this video I review my experience on two aggro steel hardtails from Dawley Bikes. The Eponym- Enduro Hardtail, and the Rallye- Trail Hardtail. Give it a watch and hit the like button if you enjoy the video. Also feel free to ask any questions about my experience with these two rigs.
*One thing I neglect to mention in the video is the Eponym I'm riding in this video is not my original Eponym. I'm calling it the "V2" because I replaced the original frame with Dawley's updated version which has a redesigned rear triangle among a handful of other refinements. All the geo numbers are the same as my original..
The trails in this video are all located in Newhall, CA.

Popular rack but overpriced for what it is.
Which rack do you prefer?
Great video
That looks real fun & has me excited to ride my hardtail this weekend. Which trails/network are these?
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.
How does one deal with fenders, like on a Townie 7D EQ? Does one crush the fender down to the tire to take up slack?
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.
Thanks for this succinct review!
Could this be used on a fat tire ebike with fenders??
Yes but may require their fat tire spacer kit and fender cushion accessories.
Thanks for the video! Just bought a 2 bike, based mainly on your off-road video... answered my question! Taking the bikes on the Rubicon now....
Rad! Have fun!
Can i use for 2 suron bike
Are they under 75lbs each?
Size S4? Thank you

What is your wheel/tire combo and tire pressure (avg)
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.... :)
Love the color 😍
Check out Falconer bikes. My buddy Cameron hand makes them in his shop. They're steel and dope af.
Just checked them out. They look cool!
Those are some bombass hardtails.
Fantastic video. Basically solidified that i'll be buying one of these 👍
I've had this rack for 8 years. Several parts wear out and 1up says they are normal wear and tear. Lifetime warranty isn't really useful if it doesn't cover the primary metal parts. Expect to shell out $100s every few years to maintenance. Ease of use this is very versatile and great to get bikes on/off. Don't try to lower it or get into the back of truck when the bikes are on. Not sure I'd buy again. Not sure I've seen a better option.
😊
You succeeded. This was a clear, concise report providing salient information rapidly. No awkward pauses. No run off tangents. Excellent. TY
These would work really well on a mullet, where wheel sway is most detrimental at the rear tire, but if the rim is shorter, then it won't flex as much to the side. I would use steel rims with these if I could find them.
I have a mullet bike! All my previous bikes had 26s so I didn't have experience with bigger wheels until now. 29 at the front and 27.5 at the back!
up the bike-punx!
Are you saying pam? Or pan?
This just earned a follow. Love the crib
Love your hardtail videos:) you single handily sold me on the frame set haha
Awesome! Thanks for the good vibes!
two pairs of thick socks covers the pedals nicely
Good hack!
That head tube does not look tapered, yet the fork is tapered...what sorcery is this? Beautiful!!
Here ya go bud. rideworks.cc/shop/headset/
@@ShreddingSpree Thanks :)
In your experience, is this rack a good fit for electric bikes with fenders? My rear fender is pretty long and I think I will have a hard time locking in to the actual tire and I hate to lock into the fender as I feel this will only cause a problem in the future. What do you think?
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
Great review! I really dislike people that pass along crap parts.
Stunning bike!
great review. well done and very helpful
NICE ... like a sharp knife ...
What about bikes with fenders?
There isn’t a universal answer here. It depends how long the fenders are
Wth is a zap strap
I don’t know. Who said anything about a zap strap?
Do you recommend the quick release handle for a 2 bike setup?
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.
You fellers should have gone with a 7000 series aluminum Thomson Elite post and stem or their 3/2.5 Titanium post with their Titanium riser bars 🤘🤘
Who told her she was ready lmao
Totally get keeping both. Just added a Ragley mmmbop in singlespeed for park use to my Cube reaction tm mullet trail distance build. Next to my old full sus XC Giant NRS3 and two cruiser bikes, one of which I welded together myself ^_^ Addiction is a thing.
Stick with the Equipe D .Wider and stronger without the silly threaded positioning clamp.
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?
Perfect! Love the geometry, and the build choices!
Taught myself how to build a bike after 25 years and it was a wonderful experience..
I’ve just ruined enough parts over the years that I figured it out by process of elimination. Not the cheapest approach 🤣🤣
@@ShreddingSpree😂😂
Let me sub, because this video is bonkers. HT❤
I was hard to tell through the music, but is it me or did the berd spokes make less high frequency noise? (Less twang?). I think I heard the biggest difference in the chattery turns.
Hey there! Have you try a mullet HT? I would like to know what do you think about them comparing them to a 29er or 27.5. Thank you!
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.
Great review! I have a question though, as I'm about to hit the "place order" button. I saw a video that shows two bikes on this rack in motion behind a vehicle. they are swaying dramatically forward and aft, almost if not actually hitting each other, and the vehicle appeared to be on a paved road. Really concerns me. I see in your video the one bike behind your jeep seems solid, but upon closer inspection it does look like the handlebars are exhibiting this fore and aft movement. Any experience with this rack and two bikes mounted? Any solutions you know of to remedy this?
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.
As another deterrent from theft and to completely resolve the pedal rub issue, I typically remove the pedals before driving too far with multiple bikes on board.
That’s another way to do it!
