I Helped Design This Bike | Norco Sight Bike Check
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2021
- Yeah, I'm a nerd at Norco. They don't have anything to do with this channel though, so all of the juicy opinionated opinions come from yours truly. #disclaimer
I hope this will do Barath Muthusamy, because this video took one heckin long time to put together. I'm really quite proud of what I've assembled together on this build, and I suppose the secret about my day job is out. Any questions about anything I’ve chosen to run? Toss ‘em in the comments and I’ll do my best to respond to them. Enjoy! :)

Your sister has that microwave that looked like that bike :) - we cleaned it :).
🤣
Me and my super trendy enduro bike feel personally attacked. 😡
🙊🙉
Hahah
This bike check is different from most other ones for a couple of reasons. There is a lot more thought process put into why this bike is for you, and also your experience with it. Other than just naming parts and why you like them, you highlighted how this bike gave you experiences. You might dress like a Joey but you are a-hell of a rider. I became a fanboy of this channel in 2020 and continuing in 2021. I was wrong about the 29'er wheels. With all the thorough research I did lol.
I have Barath's approval, this video is now a success worthy of the lack of sleep. 🙏
@@DaleStone Tomato, potato. Quirky is subjective. It’s easy to see your comfortability being an individual through your videos and how freely you express yourself. And if quirky means keeping it real with nothing to prove, bucking trends, and surrounding yourself with truly good people then I guess I’m on Team Quirky.
Thanks for all your time and efforts making great videos which showcase your favorite trails and favorite riding buddies. 👍🏽
At this point your more of a salesmen than an engineer because you’ve made me want to buy a Norco now
and me looking into a 9point8 dropper post and remote.
The statements about character, friends and riding at the end was a solid end to a great vid !! Well done man
I have to disagree totally ... with your statement at 20:42 ... this sir is not a mediocre UA-cam channel ... this is one of the most underrated and most entertaining mountainbike channels I watch. Thanks for another beautiful video Dale ;-)
Oh an btw. don't know if oyu remember but I commented on one of your videos on Lago di garda last year. You're ride of valle diaol got me hooked. And after being there this summer, it told me a lot about your bike handling skills. Been there after a night with thunderstorms, so everything was wet and slippery and it was clearly beyond my skill level that day, I had to give it a pass. Your video made it look pretty rideable, which it turned out it wasn't for me ;-) But I will give it another try when I have the chance in dryer conditions and after some serious practicing.
I'm glad I didn't have to learn what wet Italian rocks felt like haha. Sounds adventurous!
@@DaleStone Those Italian rocks were extremely slippery. Especially in the forrest part of the 601 trail from Altissimo. It was a hot day and the the air was still extremely moist after a nightly thunderstorm that it could not absorb any of the moisture that covered the rocks. In fact it was one of my most frustrating days on the bike. Should have been one of my highlights of the year but the lower part of 601 was just horrible to ride with no grip at all on the rocks. I was hoping that during the roughly one hour of climbing to the start of valle diaol conditions would somehow improve, but they were practically unchanged. With no grip, my confidence gone I decided to call it quits after the first technical section of the sculls trail (=valle diaol). Hope for better conditions this year.
Anybody who has seen more than a handful of your videos will have been able to tell that you are an upstanding and genuinely nice guy. It was apparent to me way early on and I noted it in my first ever comment on your channel. The closing couple of minutes of this video confirm it.
I’ll also note you are living the dream: riding bikes (extremely well) for fun; designing bikes (also extremely well it would appear) in your day job; well educated; and surrounded with a great looking group of friends.
The bike check was extremely well done. But I’ll have to rewatch it several times because the honest truth is that much of it was way over my head. But that’s how one learns. I’m sure I will have a question or two once I have a better handle on the nuances of what you presented. But you are a natural presenter.
Great job!
P.S. Nothing like a good Guinness!
Thanks Nick! Your kind words are always appreciated.
Respect for never turning your vids into commercials. Just humility and talent. Well done Dale.
Owning a Sight 2021 C1 since November an i love it! Knowing that such nice dudes like you working in a company that raffle beers in meetings makes me loving the bike and the company even more!
Greetings from Germany!
Beautiful ending comments.
Couldn’t agree more 🍻
This might be the longest bike check video I've ever watched, but I really enjoyed it! Great job on the narration and story telling. That bike has been through a lot in one year of riding.
Thanks! I'm glad to hear this as I don't know what a good bike check looks like. 😂
From all your videos Dale, this is my favourite one. It puts on the side how much of an amazing rider you are, how cool your ride is, how lucky you really are being able to ride the places you have. It shows how much of a cool dude you are and how nice of a human being you are. Things I also learn the only time I rode with you in the agreement Forest before you move out west.
Keep up the good work out there.
Appreciate the nice words! The AF is super rad, definitely the one style that I've been missing out here. You get the odd feature but nothing as relentless...
I love all of your videos; I discovered your channel back in August of 2019 while recovering from a bad MTB accident (tib/fib FX, 2 plates 17 screws, 3 subsequent surgeries) but this may have been one of my favorites as it gives us some insight into you as a person. So often people are treated differently based on what they have, how they look, etc. and we (myself included) likely miss out on some wonderful interactions based on those biases. I think everything on your bike is great because it represents you. Glad to hear your shoulder is doing well, please keep up the content and be safe!
Just watched this video. It’s nice to put a backstory to your channel. It’s hard to believe it takes anyone more than 5 minutes to figure out you are one of the best technical riders out there on a mountain bike.
"Reasonably adept rider" methinks might be an understatement. I had an immediate favourable opinion when saw you sporting a skeleton jersey at Thornhill. LOL
Thanks for uploading interesting content (enjoyed watching the clean Espresso run this AM too).
Don’t know you, never met you. But dale you are 100% in my opinion a legend. Spot on about people’s judgment regarding if you’re not the “cool” guy with the latest MTB trends. I’m a quiet guy. I choose to hang out with my dog and ride. Not so much for him (he’s 16. But in his prime we were gnarley). Back to my point. I reluctantly went on a group ride and chose to ride my hardtail (150 front travel. More enduro style geometry). Only recognized 2 of the people and my buddy. Well, the WTF’s “how is this guy”. My normal riding attire is vans, dickies and a t-shirt. Also I forgot my helmet so all I had was my skate helmet. The ride was 2 respectable climbs and 3 good downhills with tech, gaps , drops etc. some good doubles you can triple.
So I just hung back and rode. Listening to the comments here and there. Luckily my buddy knew better and let these folks say whatever. After the first climb when they needed a rest I just stayed on my bike waiting. First downhill I stayed back. Riding my normal lines. By the 2nd climb people wanted to talk. Asking questions etc. I just kept riding. Rest of the ride I was in front. Told my buddy I had things to do and was just gonna “ride”. He laughed and said see ya @ work.
All they saw was my ass for about 4 seconds. Turned out to be a fun ride. HahahHa. Anyway. Don’t judge people.
Thanks for the great videos and a bit about yourself. Cheers man.
wow! i remember seeing this video when it first came out and subconsciously avoided it for a month as it's "yet another bike check videooOoO". this morning you uploaded the video with the Norco Revolver and after that, this auto-played. and I LOVED IT! From the meticulously planned out bike setup to the history and philosophy behind your choices and decisions, to the light heartedness that still carries on with it; it wasn't just a bike check, it was more of a life check and a glimpse as to who really is holding on to those handlebars with that dinky orange bell!
and I very much relate to giving the "elitism" that plagues mountain biking a hard time; keep deceiving the looks of others dale! A damn shame some folks want to hand out judgements in this very mental health healing escapism of a hobby.
sick bike dawg!!!
Thanks Hersh! I was definitely pretty apprehensive about being "just another bike check" so I had to put my own spin onto it somehow. Glad you enjoyed watching it (and also don't take life too seriously)!
Someone’s hiding some real gem at the end of a bike check video!
The buried treasure haha. A reward for listening to me rant for 20 minutes!
This is by far the best bike check I have ever seen! Thank you for putting this much effort into your videos keep up the good work!
(I have been waiting for this)
It apparently took me almost 6 months to stumble onto this vid, even they I've been watching you newer videos for a couple months. I just want to say thanks Dale. You're an excellent rider and I appreciate your attitude & humbleness.
Cheers Boyd, always appreciate the support!
Great comments on how others perceive fellow riders at the end, rings very true. Awesome vid, very much enjoyed it - far better and more in-depth than most standard bike checks 👍
I'll whole ass one thing instead of half assing two!
Took me Dale 9 months for this freaking algorithm to show me this video of yours. I don't know how the hell I slipped even though I am watching your channel for longer time. I love it, that was hands down the best bike check ever. I liked so much the last part about riding, people's attitude etc. I feel the same being a foreigner in a country where most people don't speak English or they are not open, so riding alone and trying to fit in was hard but eventually find couple of people I can go out and just have fun. Thanks for sharing your story!
In the end it's all about finding a group that makes it fun! Though solo riding is also important. 🙂
Awesome video dale! I loved all the explanations and how there was so many different angles. I love your riding skill and your personality, keep up the hard work and hope to run into you in the future!
Thanks guys, appreciate it!
Just got a 2023 Norco C2 and I'm stoked to ride it this weekend!
Here Here Dale! I love what you have to say at the end of the video!
Thank you for making this and specifically talking about your dimensions as a person and the frame size and wheel choice. My 2015 Range M 27.5 was stolen and I'm looking at a 2020 Sight M 27.5 as a replacement, this video has me further leaning in that direction.
I think the bell is a great idea too. I used to live right near SFU and ride the burnaby mountain trails a lot. They are all dual use and have a lot of blind corners, so it's really easy to startle hikers. I ended up buying one of those bear bells that jingles as you ride and attaching it to my stem (inspired by you). It made a huge difference! Being loud made riding those trails a lot less contentious. I'll probably keep using the bell for any busy dual use trail system I ride in the future. Thanks for the idea!
Totally agreed, the function of being able to let someone know you're coming up on them in a completely non aggressive, almost funny way is amazing. Better than a loud hub, tried that too!
Spurcycle Compact
Stoked to hear your high praise for the Sight. I've been trying to get my hands on one for the past couple years but they have been outta stock every time. I put my order in for a 2021 C2 in November this time to make sure I get my hands on it. Lets just hope Covid doesn't ruin it for me and they are able to produce enough frames to ship some to the North East. At the time I ordered it they gave me an eta of April. Womp womp
I have my fingers crossed for you! It's been one heck of a year for everyone's supply chain.
@@DaleStone thanks. I'm gonna be after yours if my 2021 falls thru and you put it up for sale. You do international shipping right?
Honestly, given how good the market is for sellers right now it probably won't make much sense on my end. Hopefully your dealer pulls through and it's a case of underpromise/overdeliver...
@@DaleStone well feel free to put a good word in with the logistics department if you see em around the office. 😂 And keep doing what you're doing, i always look forward to the Sunday morning trail videos.
As a fellow XC tire in the back rider on the shore, I've been super happy to discover Teravail Honcho. It rolls and has about the same amount of grip as Reckon (my previous go to tire for the rear), but in my experience this year Teravail tires are considerably more durable. I've had literally zero flats this year in my rear tires (Teravail), despite managing to flat the front one once (Maxxis DHF).
If I cross paths with one I'll give it a go, thanks!
The explanation for your bell was deep 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Back in the day before cell phones it took us 3 attempts to find the Sawblade . When we found it we had a celebration.
That was half the fun discovering new trails you had sniff out through word of mouth. If you went to ride Burke you never saw anyone .
Yea Im old and still ride a hardtail nice and slow so I don’t break a collarbone.
Dale you ride pretty smooth
That's still the name of the game with a ton of good trails haha. Super rewarding to finally stumble upon something you've been looking for!
Great bike check and some solid advice at the end of the video. Its all about having fun. Cheers.
This was an absolutely brilliant video Dale. Loved all the explanations, and the fact that you did a bike check in the bikes' muddiest natural state. Nice job and great commentary. Hope we can go for a ride some time.
Muddiest? This is the cleanest it's ever been!
@@DaleStone You right.
I have purple Onyx hubs(laced to 26”rabbit hole rims)on my Chromag stylis.Along with a oil slick spur Bell.(found it online in Germany but it’s discontinued as far as I know).But the thing I like most is your attitude!
I need that bell!!!
A friend I enjoy riding with has Pom Pom’s installed as handle bar end caps. His riding shorts are cotton super mario pajamas shorts. The looks he gets when passing the trendy riders is priceless.
I like your friend already!
I'm not generally a fan of Nike checks either, but I liked this one! I like the bell, shows character!
I agree 100% that the Sight is totally intuitive and the best bike I've owned too.
That bell may be expensive, but boy does it have a gorgeous ring to it. I ordered one right after asking what kind you had and I've loved it ever since, definitely not going back to a no bell lifestyle 👌
Thank you for this video. I found your channel when i was looking for epic mtb routes in Lenzerheide. I kind of felt sad when the bell fell apart. I did the Älplisee Trail in 2019 and it was way out of my comfort zone. Since then i subscribed to your channel. Greetings from Switzerland.
That trip was one of the coolest things I've ever done, hope to go back someday. You all are super friendly there!
I have a bell that makes me sound like an ice cream truck. I meet many hungry & disappointed hikers on the trails....but I always get a smile.
You should share more of yourself in your videos. Great closing!
Thanks Ken, with the positive reception I may do so in the future! Sounds like a fantastic bell by the way.
@@DaleStone Impulse purchase at MEC a couple of years ago -- www.mtbbell.com/demo.html
Timber! A true classic haha
I run basically the same tires as you, 2.5" Minion dhf and 2.4" Rekon. I'm really happy with that setup.
It's the best! 😀
Awesome video and loved your comments at the end. Really enjoy your videos, I live vicariously through them as a middle aged dude from Guelph just getting started in MTB
Heck yeah, Guelph represent!
@@DaleStone 🐮🤠🐮
Those words at the end touch me in a good way. Since I start riding about a 4 months ago it's been a good journey just that it's always be by myself... Hopefully I can find some good riders that i can relate with and look at me before my ride or bike
Always be yourself and good people will follow! 🙏
This is not just a great bike check. Especially from minute 22 on you say some really interesting things about the mtb community and all those "elite" wannabe pros. Glad to hear that you got some really nice people around you and hope you'll always stay safe. Well, kind of 🙈
Awesome! Big fan! Admire you for not being afraid to be different! Love the bill also.
Moved from Hope to Onyx, bought a bell as well.
Nice! Love to hear that. Enjoying them so far?
@@DaleStone Absolutely!
From the instantaneous, yet smooth engagement to the almost nonexistent rolling resistance and the priceless silence they offer.
I thought I would miss the buzz, but hearing the sounds from the trail and the wind blowing totally makes up for the painful reminder of how much these things cost.
The downside is that I can hear my rotors rubbing and adjusting that in Formula brakes feels like doing a cardiovascular surgery.
The last part was truly wonderful to hear
looking at getting a norco Sight myself, love your channel! like how you refered to the 27.5' wheels as the correct wheel size ;)
That move at 3:20 🤩
Stumbled onto your channel when I was looking for videos to show my wife where I crashed on Vics! Love the channel. Love that your local, and love the message. Let me know when you finally decide to part ways with her. Would be happy to take her off your hands. Keep up the good work.
There aren't many nice places to crash on Vic's, so I hope you're okay haha. Thanks for the support!
I was honestly surprised by many things on your bike and now the story about the bell. Great vid
It's an oddball, but it's mine. ❤️
My XT shifter levers broke the same way, common failure point design flaw, glad Shimano warrantied it fast (I heard they redesigned the spring last year)
I wish I only had boring components! And we finally see the man behind the bell! lol
👀🤫
Such an excellent video and summary of how you take life in general, oh, and btw, you are far more than just "adept" at mountain biking, you are very, very good, cheers!
Dale wesome video and content man. I am eyeing/saving on a Norco Sight A1 next year. It looks like an awesome bike and Taiwan made.
Now that's what my bike looks like most of the time. My legs are also very short for my height, however Im 5'3" and weigh a lot more than you. I possibly made a mistake in up-sizing and can only use about 1/2 my 125mm dropper travel. ... and my fork and shock are well past there service intervals!
Best bike check video I've seen. Also, keep on doing what you're doing. Hoping to run in to you out on Burke at some point:)
Bravo Dale! Lol I see that you really do enjoy the voiceover ;) i definitely liked hearing about your social experiment with the bell. Sucks that so many mtb'ers act that way. I've personally experienced the same. Great work man! Im starting to look for my next frame and love the Sight, just wish it worked well with a coil.
I have a coil on my Sight and it's excellent 👍
One thing is clear, your mission to classically condition the viewers is proceeding undetected (for the most part). ;-) Cool bike!
Alas the master plan that must never be spoken of is indeed coming together nicely. 🤫
What a profound ending. 👍
Man! You have a full time job (which is my dream job by the way), run a UA-cam channel and is one of the most bad ass non pro riders in BC!
Respect!
PS: having an ocd crisis over your pedals! LOL
Pedals working as intended then. 🙏
And I always thought the bell was an improvised bear bell!
New to the channel, glad to joined. Best bike check by far that i ever seem, Dale your narrative skills are fantastic!
Cheers Federico!
A rear tire a month?!? That’s a good problem to have! Awesome story about the social engineering around the bell :)
Yep! ~60 hours of moving time per tire this year. Crazy...
@@DaleStone I thought I was bad for wearing through one every 3-5 months, but apparently I've gotta up my game 😆
You are correct regarding Shimano's multi-release. I could not live without it. Unfortunately, you got the beer wrong. IPA all day! haha
Awesome and interesting vid, BTW!
More stouts for me! 🍻
The cleanest bike check ever! Love it!!!
Dale try Wheelsmith Spoke Prep. I've never had a spoke loosen off or ever re-true wheels, but I'm likely running higher spoke tension then you. Glad to hear that our 9.8 stuff is low maintenance compared to a good part of the rest of your bike.
That's a good idea, next time I build a wheelset (which hopefully is not soon) I'll give it a go. Thanks for choosing to support me! 😀
Good and thorough bike check Dale, couldn't agree with you more on the new Shimano 12spd stuff. On the whole steep STA thing, I'll have to agree to disagree on that point, for the riding I like to do and where I live and ride-it works well if your rides are all basically up or down, but not for longer, pedally type rides on rolling to moderate steep climbing.
Also have a 9point8 FallLine and it's lasted me 4 years without doing anything but a simple, basic colar re-grease a few times and still no play in it. Sadly the main dust seals are gone now, so have to get some new ones and do a full tear down and rebuild.
Almost forgot - don't use the term mid-life crisis when until you get past at least 30 ;-) :-p
Agreed, a steep seat tube angle is very poor and downright dangerous when you do any descending with your post up. Out East I used my dropper more than my shifter (meaning the steep STA is great), but this is not a common opinion, and explains why the Revolver is a couple of degrees slacker than the Sight. I'm just speed running the existential dread category. 🤫
Nice way to finish up the video, I like the contrast the bell provides with the super expensive bike!
Thanks Oliver, it's definitely there to stay!
The speech at the end made me think about my bike. Time for more purple accents to go with the bars? Or maybe orange...
Can't go wrong with any bright colours! 👉👉
@@DaleStone I think I might do some purple stuff as I like stuff to be matchy. Now what parts to replace for purple...
I've often wondered how come a guy with your skill-level is wearing such a random outfit. Thanks for clearing that up ;) On a side note, I(and i guess others) would appriciate it if you could slap on a pair of kneepads, so the next slam wont be your last on a mountainbike. PPU is not an option ;) Anyway, thanks for the great content, and keep it coming.
Thank you for sharing this stuff and great video with AWESOME narration! I might have to jump on this "mullet" set up program he he
It's not for everyone, but it may be for you!
Sizing down I agree with, but what's funny is being a 6'4" monster most XL bikes are actually just on the small side so it just works out for me for the most part. Have tried a couple larges but my stupidly long legs make them feel cramped. I think the best advice for people looking for a new bike is try to ride the smallest bike possible
Omg you got footage of Gary the Grouse! And your a stout beer lover too
Gary! Didn't know he had a name. That lad is the most aggressive animal I've ever encounterwd, and I grew up on a campus of Canadian Geese!
For sizing, thankfully the trend is going your way, albeit slowly...
@@DaleStone Erin and I started calling him that the first time we encountered him because we thought he had a grumpy old man personality. Would scurry out after you like “get off my lawn!” We do have a mutual understanding because I rescued him when the Covid-idiots flocked there when they reopened Burke last year and he was trapped in the middle of the cars all disoriented and i tried to shepherd him off the road.
I'm 32 and your bike looks cleaner than my microwave. it might be time for #newmicrowaveday
I'd love to watch the first ever #microwavecheck.
Nice bike! I run a Rekon in the rear of my Sight too!!! Definitely an under rated tire!
Heck yeah! Super underrated indeed. 😀
I just started riding and have a sight...not yellow though :)....also I have that same full face haha. Maybe one day I'll be as good as you riding a bike. Thanks for the videos as always :)
Waterloo!
also you are very hard on your bike!! Says a lot about the quality of the components that you haven't had issues with, given that even some XTR stuff you had problems with :')
UW represent! XTR is past the price to performance inflection point at the sacrifice of durability. And other than the brakes they were all technically consumables anyways haha.
Always loved your videos. This one hit different getting to know more about you. Your tendency to buck the trends is admirable, I live the same way and appreciate you explaining this side of you.. I am my own trend, and don't care what the popular choices are. Great video. 🤙
just found your channel and I'm really enjoying your content! Would love to hear about how you got into your career path
I try to keep this hobby quite separate from my day job, but possibly someday! 🙂
I currently have a Giant Trance 2. Love it. But would consider a more Enduroish bike. The Norco Range and Slayer come to mind. Did not consider the Sight until now. May also completely pimp out my Trance. Upgrade the fork to a Fox 36 160 and a DPX2 rear.
Again - great video. You are a FAAAAR better rider than I with much bigger sends and if it can be done on an All Mountain 160.......
The only style of trail that I ever want more bike on is the fast and chunky stuff where there is no substitute for travel. But I don't ride that style often, and when I do I require physio afterwards haha.
@@DaleStone Thats awesome. Lol.
Riding bikes man!! XXX
Sooo good! I was going to film a bike check and I’m glad I have more an idea of what to do
Good luck, take your time estimate and quadruple it if you go for this style.
@@DaleStone thanks lol
IPA is the best beer, but I’ll happily drink anything after a long ride, as long as it’s cold!
More stouts for me. 🍻
great vid Dale! I might get stuck on to Bike UA-cam now haha. your vids are great :D
Haha thanks Immy!
Thank you for the tyre choice info👌 Gonna try it sometime.
Good luck, at the very least you'll have fun!
Amazing video.. best ever on mtb topic
I really like your riding and this video made me feel understood as a human. I love the outdoor industries because I have gotten to work with people like you, people who are inspiring in their physical as well as mental/emotional/spiritual prowess.
That's a super nice compliment, thank you! 😊
Really enjoyed the vid! Was trying to work out if you wear the basketball shorts and the bell etc. in order for people to underestimate you (sandbagging or car term to be a "sleeper" who looks crap but goes like stink) or whether it was to provoke a reaction from people? Honestly I would think it looks a bit funny myself but at the end of the day I don't care as long as someone is fun to ride with, that's my metric. Lots of laughs per km :)
Every choice I make is based purely on function or finances, often to the detriment of aesthetics. The fact that it all completes the sleeper look effectively is a bonus. Well said with smiles per mile!
@@DaleStone having 2 teenage boys who ride too i know what you mean about the finances ;) basically i look for stuff on sale as i have to buy at least 3 of everything. Where I won't save is on safety gear (function) there it's got to be the right gear for the job as I've had too many injuries and don't need anymore!! btw still enjoy watching your Swiss Alps vids
Best Bike Check I've ever watched!
The rear axle is the best part of the bike, lets be real here
Great video Dale, thoroughly enjoyed it!
Thanks Sull, means a lot! 😀
That Sharp scientific calculator tho' - reminds me of my engineering school days with my HP 48 🧮 - agree with your theory that explains why there is so much hate for Tom Brady and Justin Bieber 😁
The PTSD was real when I stumbled upon the calculator clip...
This is the best bike check ever
you make the Gangler look way too easy
Oh, thanks! Now I want a pink bell on my Spectral! 😡
Really great video, thanks for putting in the effort to go through your choices (both bike and attire) in so much detail. But pineapple has no place on a pizza 😂
I'm afraid we may not be able to be friends then.
@@DaleStone I feel the same way. It's been fun.
Another great video, love your laid back personality, keep on being you! But mainly keep the great vids coming👍
Thanks Steve, I'll do my best!
i was very close to buying a norco sight. there's a retailer right down the road from where i work. i wish i would have given it more of a shot.
Spurcycle as a second sponsor? :) I’m definitely getting one for my gravel bike.
Maybe they'll see this video somehow haha.
Awesome video mate! Just wanted to get your feedback as im going to get a Sight A2 but cant decide if i should go with a medium or large... im 176cm/75kg/84cm inseam, test riding the medium and large in the carpark the medium felt little cramped, knees closer to the bars and a feeling as if the seat needed to go back a bit further with about 50-60mm of the seat post sticking out, the large felt much better (id just need to limit the dropper height a little though) but the trails are much different to a carpark.
I'm the same height as you, and went with the medium as I prefer a smaller bike. Most people our height go with the large and do not regret that decision. 🙂
Oh hell yea!
:D haha nice vid!
The bell is a fantastic part of the vids
new bike=another bike check to pester you for :)
