This is day Two at Pisgah National Forest 4/18/19: We started the sit and spin from behind the stables again only this time with plenty of sleep and nutrition. At the top, we went left this time at the stairs and followed that. Much easier to pedal instead of all the hike a bike. There were still some parts we had to walk though. Buckwheat was first, very tech and steep, a little more rocky the...

First time riding in NC. This is day one at Pisgah National Forest 4/17/19: We camped along avery creek road arriving at 430am lol. Took a nap and at like 11am we started the sit and spin from behind the stables. Wasnt too bad but it took around 1 hour or so to get to the stair split up top, then we went right and hike a bike up to the top of black mountain, which was about another hour or so. ...

Unboxing the 2019 YT Jeffsy AL Base 29er medium in concrete grey. It was very easy and it's pretty much just taking off tons of cardboard and foam wrap which is packaged very well. They did a great job, the bike is ready to ride. I went kind of slow to read instructions and not mess anything up as I have a tendency to rush and make mistakes sometimes. I cant wait to go ride it. SPECS: DT SWISS ...

On the off chance you'lll see this - does the spoiler clear the back wheel when you open the tailgate? I have a Focus RS and want to get the same setup - Thule bars etc. My Santa Cruz Tallboy is pretty long with the 29's and steep HTA. My biggest question though is this - do you still drive fast and corner had with it on, and if so, have you had any issues when it was properly secured? I'm tempted to put a hitch on it and use my hitch bike rack for that reason
@@Wallstreetavarice it barely touches the back wheel (depending on your bike size, I was medium 29er). Just let it softly open at the end then you should be good. I was pretty good about checking. As far as driving aggressively I had no issues. I wasn’t going crazy when it was on, but I did have my fun. Anything under 80 or 90 you are fine for sure, over that you may have to be alert for drag but again this thing is pretty secure. IF I could rebuy, then I would have gone hitch. Then you only have to worry about who is behind you.
@@ghouse23 Thanks for the advice! I have a Large 29er so It will probably touch, but that just means I'll make sure to load/unload first. I'm still unsure if I'll keep the car long term - otherwise I would definitely go with the hitch. I already picked up a used roof rack for the snowboard season, so going with the roof mount is a significantly cheaper option.
How is the lateral stability for windy mountain roads?
This is good to see! I'm currently shopping for a bike carrier for my new Epic Evo i got and I'm glad Kuat has stuff included for the thru-axle crowd.
Are u from Michigan?
Yes
@@ghouse23 lol i think i bought your car 🤣 Im trying to take it off because i need to add a rack. The bolts on the top one is so rusty i cant take it off and the ones on the back just keep spinning
@@NEOSOLAIRIS that’s crazy! I left the key for the lock with the dealership
@@ghouse23 i found it lmao its crazy looking for a vid how to take it off i found u 🤣
@@NEOSOLAIRIS that’s freaking hilarious honestly. I miss that car!
Don't waste your money with that overpriced Dumond crap. Use Synthetic 10w30 oil. Lasts so much longer and protects waaaaaaaay better. Protecting a freehub is like baby work for synthetic 10w30 since it's designed to protect extremely low tolerance internal engine components in much, and I mean MUCH harsher conditions! Also, put a small amount of grease on the seal only once you've installed oil to keep moisture out as much as possible. Do not use waterproof grease.
Do you have any issues with your roof rack leaking when it’s raining ? I’m looking into a roof rack for my Focus ST but I’ve heard it can leak since the brackets go into the door
I have had this rack on my old focus and now this one for a long time, no leaks.
@@ghouse23 that’s good to know
Sick
Thank you!
Gotta love the cheap bike with i9 hydra rear hub :))
I am currently using a Yakima Forklift with a Yakima Forklift Thru-Axle attachment. It honestly has been moving when driving and I am so anxious it is going to fall off my roof on the freeway. This seems far more practical. Definitely going to buy this for my 2021 Stumpjumper. Thanks for the video - you should be compensated for my purchase lol
Can this bike rack clamp onto any crossbars?
0:01
I’m I’m love with the sound of these sick hubs. 👍🏼
What more if that is a Torch! hahahaha
Hi where did you buy it? Can’t seem to find it in UK? Thanks for sharing!
I got it from Outdoorplay.com but it looks like they dont have it there anymore, hopefully you can find some luck and grab one! cheers
Does your cassette really just pop off that easily? The i9 service walkthrough video does the same. I'm pulling on mine like crazy, and nothing is happening. I feel like I might be missing a step.
Yea i just pull it right off and double check that pawls or springs didnt fall out, then push it right back on. Email i9 that is odd.
EXACTLY the same here... it stuck good and solid. Hub is less than 2 months old
@@shanecurnyn4612 i actually tried again after watching a few more videos and it worked. Try to get your fingers as far in as you can, and you almost pull from your fingertips as close to the axle as you can get. Imagine sliding it off the axle as opposed to yanking and pulling on it.
Ok I’ll give’er another go thanks for the pro tips
NICE!
Horrible effing noise.
No one in the history ever has said those words about a hub
🤨
Nice set up. thanks for sharing
What brand of roof rack and bike rack did you buy?
Roof rack is Yakima Corebar system and the bike rack is the Kuat Trio
Are pedals included?
Have you ever lost a bike on the freeway?
LMAOOO YES I WAS USING THE YAKIMA FRONTLOADER AND IT FAILED. NEVER AGAIN.
Nice RS wing ;)
Sick ass sound!!
How did your fork stayed on when you removed the axle?
Its just balanced on the roof rack. If I push it on the side it will tip over without the thru-axle holding it down. One time though, I parked on a slight incline and took out the axle and my bike tipped over onto my roof and made a small little dent, I was bummed but learned my lesson haha.
@@ghouse23 i got you! Also, does it ever get loose? i keep tightening the front allen screw when i get home because my bike moves around when i get home.
I know that this bike comes in different wheel sizes and suspension. what made you decide to choose 29 over 27.5 and also the fox vs the rock shox package?
Trail Lady MTB to be honest the 27.5 was out of stock in medium and only available in large. So i decided 29 cause the medium was available. This model only came with the fox components. I think the previous year model comp was rockshox, it wouldn’t let me choose though.
@@ghouse23 ok thanks so much for the info. Cool bike! 😄
Typical mountain biker, lives in a basement.
The bike is amazing let us know how is it on trails
Its absolutely a joy to ride. My confidence on this thing is through the roof right now. Only thing I would say that NEEDS an upgrade or changing is the brakes but they do work ok I suppose. Having a blast, cant wait to get on some more downhills. So far ive ridden all of SE michigan, Windrock, Pisgah, Marquette, and Boyne Highlands.
Are those tires tubeless from the factory?
Yep they come with a tube, but they rims are taped. So all I did was take the tubes out, they provided some tubeless valves and then I added sealant. 20 mins a tire without a compressor.
@@ghouse23 thanks
YEEYEE
Badass
What size did you get. Im 6'1" and thinking of an xl. what do you think?
Thats perfect honestly. Im about 510 maybe 511. I got the medium and although I like how nimble it is, I would have liked the large a little better. Mainly for when im descending, I think the Large would be a little more stable and less cramped. Either way though you will be happy I think.
Large?
medium!
@@ghouse23 thank you
Hello, can I ask, do you have problems with paint on your jeffsy? I want to buy it too.
Not sure what you mean but no I havent had any paint issues
I am considering the same bike what do you think of the 29er compared to 27 i cant decide which to go with. Also im 5'11 to 6' should i go with a large? Thanks man
If you wanna roll over everything go 29er, if you like to throw the bike around and have more nimbleness get the 27. The 27 has 10mm more travel also, and is fully internally routed cables. My 29er is only 140mm travel and has external cables. I got the medium im like in between 5-10 5-11. I like the medium but the large would have been better.
Right on thanks alot!
@@ghouse23 I have a similar situation but I am for sure getting the 27, in an xl frame as I am 6'2 and am not done growing (Im 15). The real question is concrete gray or the deep blue?
🦀🌲
How tall are you and what size did you get?
5-10 ish and i got a Medium
I ordered mine yesterday. Can't wait for it to arrive :) have fun with yours
Looks like I'm going with the Sentier! The fucking NP Scout is out of stock EVERYWHERE. Oh well, I'd never heard of Vitus before but this looks like a dope bike. Also you've got sick trails.
Pat W dude you will not regret it I loved it! It’s like a duplicate of the nukeproof scout for a tad cheaper. And yes copper harbor in Michigan is amazing trails!!!!
Awesome, thanks! Haha it's in my cart right now on ChainReactionCycles. Since I'm dropping 1500 bucks on a bike, I figure I should find some new gloves and another helmet while I'm at it lmao.
Shredding it, dude! 🤙
That Pisgah gnar is awesome. Nice dry day to ride too. You're sending it dude. 👍😉
The Duke of MTB yea we got lucky no rain for our trip until the day we left for windrock! Thanks I was a little scared riding blind on a brand new trail though lol. Plus the steepness!
That was sick!!! Nice save both times going down those rocks. That could've been bad. How are you liking the new Jeffsy?
CT TNA thanks! Coming from a hardtail I love it so much! Everything is quiet and tight and well put together, and my only issue thus far was the brakes. They are good not great. Going to change those end of season but otherwise I love it!
man that tree was not supposed to be there,,, that completely sucks!
Can you make a review, at least once you get a good few rides in? I am considering this bike within the next year.
Took it to NC and tested it out. Video is up on my page, will post a full review of bike by end of month i hope!
I bet you're super excited to take that to the DTE Trails. How's the bike so far?
You have no clue. I rode hickory glenn it was pretty fun but this definitely needs a proper break in still. Will this thaw ever cycle? ugh. Pisgah it is.
Is this the nucleus 275 vrs moddel
I see you "trail cat" waiting to go on that first ride.😁
I subscribed because I am hoping to get one sometime in the future. Great bike.
Did it come with a drop post seat? With remote ?
Yep sure did! Forgot to show it in the video. Its starting to warm up here in michigan so hopefull soon enough I can ride it and post a full review.
@@ghouse23 awesome! I'm seriously considering buying that bike. Looking forward to your review.
What is your height? I’m between sizes m and l.
im about 5'10" so right in between the two sizes just like you . I went medium and it feels perfect.
Can I ask why did you get the 29 over the 27.5? Can you really tell the difference in speed? I'm relatively new to MTB and I'm trying to decide between the 2. Thank you so much.
No problem! I got the 29er cause they didnt have the 27.5 in medium which is what i usually ride. I havent been able to take it to trails yet its all snowy and icey right now, but in my experience with 29ers they do roll slightly faster and easier over tech and stuff. But the the 27.5 is a tad smaller and more nimble and easier to play with. I feel these are both negligible in comparison and shouldnt be a huge factor but i think ill be ok on the 29er. I went medium frame, im like 5-10. Inital ride around the block was awesome but again, not a trail so hard to testify.
Ruben C How is your bike doing? Would you give us and update? Thank you so much for your time!!!
Hey all, working on some footage later today after work. The thaw season took forever here and my first few rides were on some basic tracks and mostly training to get in shape however, I finally broke it in at Pisgah and Windrock last week. Sorry for the delay!!!
