You have selected a 455 mm medium frame. Because what is it, big 480 mm, small 420 mm, 430 mm? In terms of your maximum reach, how do you feel about reach?
Some brands go further in this direction. For example, if you look at Pole, 480mm is the average in the Pole range. To what extent have you played longer distances and what do you think your limits are? Why do you think this is your limit?
Well, I’ve always wondered about these things, it’s a matter of gradually getting the public involved, so maybe with the next bike you can take it a little further?
Getting back to the reach because I think if you start calculating effective reach after changing the fork and adding angle adjustment, the effective reach will probably be closer to 450mm.
I’m curious what you think about chainstay length as the Spicy has been reduced to 428mm in the 27.5.
Have you considered making chainstays in different lengths for different sizes? Because obviously if you’re riding a mid-sized bike, chainstays evolve around the ideals associated with that range.
GOOD So what’s your stress? You mentioned 30 percent sag at the rear, do you know what that pressure is?
How did you find the racing car? Because as I understand it, if you tend to rely too much on the hydraulic side, when it starts to heat up and the oil starts to thin, you start to lose damping. As the air gets warmer, it gets stiffer, so it can be uncomfortable, but it’s still rideable and harder to ride if the hydraulics start to slacken and your fork keeps diving.
In terms of progress, are you trying to make balanced progress front and back, or do you tend to be different? For example, a straighter rear end and a more progressive front end?
You are using Zipp carbon wheels: 27.5 in the back, 29 in the front. How many 29′s do you also run in the back row, because I know you’ve been running 27.5′s in the last few years, right?
undoubtedly. I was wondering how much sag these wheels would have because I was watching Adrian [Dalley's] video the other day looking at the corners of his wheels and you could see how much those wheels were bent.
So, in terms of stiffness, would you consider a 38mm fork on this bike? Or would you go for a 35mm fork?
So you specifically chose 27.5/29 for this bike. Do you often use wheels of different sizes?
So what is a small impression? You’re a crazy little thing on a bike, because if we start backwards from the cockpit.
Can you explain the difference between offsets? Because there is a lot of discussion about whether it is really worth changing the offset for most people?
Generally speaking, carbon fiber mountain bike frames are already listed as “stiffer frame”. I’ve always wondered if there is a material limit: if you have carbon, it must be solid. But is it just a matter of engineering somehow?
Is this an argument if you’re going to buy carbon fiber you need to buy a high quality carbon fiber frame because you won’t get the same quality of materials on the low end?
However, from what you’re saying, do you need to purchase more expensive fibers to feel GLP2?
Maybe it’s time for us to wrap up our bike inspection. right? Next comes the battery compartment.
What do you think is the minimum tire weight for an enduro bike that is safe?
It’s not a structural insert, is it? Have you tried structure insertion? Because I know some people who get good results using lightweight tires with structural inserts.
