So was I, but then I took the spot of a friend in the Megavalanche. Suddenly I realiesd how much fun it is to look for the fastest lines and how much skill is required to to make them work, without loosing control. That explains the 29er and to be honest, if you are a good rider the jump from 27.5 to 29 (especially on a bike with short chainstays) will only take a couple of rides and pressing a little bit harder in the turns ;) Since I rode it quite a bit now, I can say I did the exact same stuff on this bike only the 360 is missing but that´s due the clips(because I just started riding them on this bike)
Danke, ich geb mein Bestes bald wieder so ein Bike Build Video machen zu können. Ich kann mir nur nicht leisten alle 2-3 Monate ein neues Bike zu kaufen. Aber ich bin dran ;)
Alex (the Mechanic and Bike-Shop owner building the bike) used a lot of different tools during this build. I know from talking to a lot of mechanics that it is worth it to invest into proper tools. A lot of mechanics like the tee allens from Parktool or Proxxon, I personally like proxxon tools. And I´d prefer them because I like to pay for quality but hate to pay too much for the brand name, like with Parktool. Parktool makes awesome tools and if I was a mechanic working with them on a daily basis I might even choose them. But I´d look for tools from Proxxon, Birzmann, Wera or if you have a tighter budget maybe look into tools from PRO (a brand from Shimano), everything cheaper can also get the job done. But it`s no pleasure to work with and due to bad tolerances you might even damage stuff, if you aren´t very careful. Hope that was a little help, enjoy working on your bike :D
You´re right this is not the lightest bike, but to me it´s more important that I can relie on the components and don´t have to break the bank ;) I use it for mostly on my local trails without a chairlift or shuttle and it´s ok uphill and a beast downhill :D
Find ich auch, bleibst du vorerst beim Dirt oder wirst du demnächst auch mal auf ein Mountainbike steigen (Nein, kein kostenloses altes Schrott Rad;) )
This is the old bike stand Alex has in his Shop, I´ll ask him if he can tell me any specifics. My guess is: it´s a custom build ;) He actually uses a new electric one from Park Tool most of the time. This one is his backup, but I thought has more flair and style to use the old one ;)
willst du welche? dann schreib mir auf Instagram @luca.morell hatte welche mit dem Video über die Ventilkappen verlost und kann ne Ausnahme machen und dir noch welche schicken :D
The most important thing is, to setup your bike, i.e. setup your cockpit, saddle, drivetrain and suspension. If all that is setup properly and no screws are loose, your bike will feel way better. For mor hacks you can watch my Bike-Hacks Video: ua-cam.com/video/dnXuBU-kFLQ/v-deo.html
i have a friend in a bikeshop that sells me this bike for 2600€, but i wanted a 27.5, since i am a fan of the air time and an agile bike... and i was thinking of buying a capra al 27.5... what do you think i should buy?
Go for the Giant or a 29er Capra, these bikes are agile enough, if you pick the recommended size or the smaller size if you are between sizes like me (178cm and I choose M frames, so the bike is more playful) Check out my review videos on both, the Full Enduro Video, the Tuck no Hander in 90s Video or the 2020 Video to see for yourself, if you haven`t already. If you get the chance test the bikes. And then just do what feels right for you, even if that means not listening to me or other so called "experts" You have to like the decision and whatever bike you pick you will have fun on on it. I just learned to love those 29ers and think they are the way to go ;)
@@luca.morell thank you, today i actually tried the giant and it was really fun, but i think that the look of the bike isn't really that great, and that the capra is way better Lookin than the reign. but on the specs, the giant is better overall, and considering that i can take them about at the same price point, i am really struggling to decide between the two.
@@nickzz1599 If you pay the same price for both Bikes, I'd choose the giant. The Suspension elements are just sooo much better and you liked riding it. But hey it is your desicion and especially if you really don't like the way the bike looks, then don't
@@luca.morell Ok, i think at this point i will be going for the reign, because for that price i get overall a better bike than the capra. but i am worried to regret my decision, i don't know why.
@@nickzz1599 I know this feeling and I guess I know why we all have it. We all search for the perfect bike, but who are we kidding there is no such thing. Just make a decision and afterwards make it the perfect decision. In the end it is never about the bike, but the good times we have on it, those unforgettable days with our mates enjoying nature and the sport, speed and airtime. I think it´s about what you make out of every ride with the bike, if you choose to make it a great ride it will also be the best bike you can possibly ride, no matter which bike you ride. Decide and then just make the most of it and you will be set :D
@@luca.morell Bin am überlegen zwischen Transition Scout mit 130/150 oder Stumpjumper für die WW. Für den Park ein Freerider oder DH. Will aber erst meins verkaufen, habe kein Platz im Keller. Wir sehen uns bestimmt demnächst oder am WE wenn du unterwegs bist. Nochmal Congratulation 🤟
What do you mean with rub? If I understood right: yes it is a one piece rear triangle, which was one of the reasons why I bought it, because my YT Capra broke there. I like to have a stiff rear end with little flex and untill now I can just say it´s very sturdy :D
Nukeproof ARD, I´ve used them for 2-3 month now, no issues so far. The value for money is awesome. Unlike the tire noodles I tried before, the have a shape that fits better into the rims, so they are unlikly to pop out.
I didn´t weight it untill now, because I knew I didn´t want to Know ^^ ...but it´s 16,7 kg including pedals and with the 210mm OneUp Dropper instead of Giants Dropper. Now you know why I avoided weighting it ;)
@@edgarortiz6553 we shortened the bar to my preferred width 760mm, because 780mm feel too wide. Therefore we used a tube cutter, wich is essentially like a Pizza Roller/Cutter but you have to tighten it after every way around, so you have enough pressure to slowly cut the alloy
Wow can i hope someday you will give your one bike to your subcriber and fan😍😍😍 so i can get a chance to have one of your bike😍😍 if it will happen sir 😍😍 I'll pick the hornet😍😂😂. Is giant reign is your first bike sir?😍😍
I already sold my giant reign to finance my drivers license, I don´t know if I have the resources to make a bike givaway, hopefully but as of right now I have to finance everything myself...
@@luca.morell Yep ! I don't want to be mean or get along with you, but such things like to take revenge ! I mean hardware defects ! Best regards ! Overall a very good job !
@@LUKEDASKYWALKA82 I know you just want to help and I appreciate it very much. I never had issues with my disc rotors because of this but I will definetly pay attention to it in the future, so thanks!
Bruh it’s legit the stock build of the bike with some different bars and stem as well as tire inserts. Like you just took everything off and put it back on😂
You´re right, we took the stock bike apart and rebuilt it with some diffrent parts, I now also ride a Nukeproof coil Spring and the One Up 210mm dropper, but these parts didn´t arrive early enough for this build. And to be honest I always thought about changing the wheels, tires and saddle, but didn´t hae the money to afford them/ the tanwall tires from Maxxis and Schwalbe aren´t available until January (I even called them). The SDG El Oso saddle, that I´ll buy soon, wasn´t available at the time. And to finish it of in January I will also get the new ErgoTec 6+ parts, which weren´t available then. So You´re totally right but ist will become a more custom bike over time ;)
I have the red 2018 Trance 2. I've never been into 29rs but damn, that Giant Reign certainly builds a case for riding one. Awesome looking bike.
So was I, but then I took the spot of a friend in the Megavalanche.

What kind of bike related contend are you intrested in besides Bike Builds?
That Reign is on a sik beast mode!
It is and I have ridden it a lot the last two month, so there will be a review soon ;)
This is the bike that I want but we don't have money to buy it I'll say I contented with the video at the youtube. Nice bike

Nice build - a bit on the heavy side, but still nice. Just plan on taking the chairlift to the top and riding down.
You´re right this is not the lightest bike, but to me it´s more important that I can relie on the components and don´t have to break the bank ;)

die ventilkappen machen es perfekt
Danke :D

I believe this frame is medium. Can you slam an Oneup dropper post (210mm) all the way into the seat tube?
Yes you can slam the 210 OneUp all the way into the Medium frame :D
what grips are they?
DMR Deathgrips :D
is it possible to install a remote lockout on the rear shox ?
There are no specific cable mounts on the frame, but if you want to you can always find a way to make it work ;)
How to tune cycle pls tell me
