I hear you Jeff on the bike builds. I can watch about 40 seconds then turn it off. Your cool commentary kept me in the game on this vide. Watched it all. I thought it would have come in at 35lbs with those WTB tires, but much less than I expected. Loved this.

This is the best bike built video I've seen. Pure fire.🔥 Thanks for sharing Jeff! You're such a Master. 🙏🏻

@@JeffKendallWeed Jeff, I read your comment and promptly went out for another ride on the 'hawk. The geo feel is similar to my SB150, so I had no trouble adapting to the bike. It is deceptively fast, and feels faster than my Yeti going downhill. Will need.to confirm with some laps at the bike park. Climbing and technical moves are the big surprise. Short stays help with both aspects...and here in New England, we have a lot of tight, technical, rooty and rocky bits to navigate. Again, coming from a Rootdown I mostly knew what to expect, so maybe the biggest surprise is how relatively nimble and stable the bike is in slow speed stuff with a 180mm fork and 62 degree head angle. It's nuts!

just bought this exact same bike, daydreamer stylus built around a 170 fork. I'm curious what your travel is on the trust and what you think about the bike overall. Stoked for more content on this bike!! sooo stoked! you never see any content on these wonderful bikes

Chromag,love they rides, great bikes,great company,especially with my favorite hard tail types of rides!!Someone maybe knows, do they also making - producing eLectric bikes?

Great work on the build video, great angles, well shot.👌 I don't think you will need to use the levers, only thing I use tyre lever for is to push bead into centre of rim and to take tyre off, there should be no reason not do what you do at 6:57 But I haven't tried this tyre, rim combo. the key to installing tyres fast & easily is to get enough slack. 6:03 be careful, they will snap if you abuse them, but these are a bad product anyway, tried and abused these just to test it, and yest I managed to snap two, by doing what you did but I took it to the extreme. So I have tested the Crank Brothers Speedier lever with same abuse and did not snap. Still using it.

@@bananasstuff3344 I hope this clarifies my previous comment, I admit it was not clear enough, I am sorry: I mean to seat the tyre, like with a motorcycle or car tyre, using big lever cus it's impossible to put on, what I do is I get enough slack and use tyre lever to push tyre into the rim channel, now I use Cush Core lever, specifically made for it. and use lever to take the tyre off easily. no need to use whole body, and use long levers, or metal levers, that just scratches the rim. There is no need to be brutal, or abuse your self and the rim. The key is to get enough slack.

More hardtail!

Nice build Jeff, fully understand why you came to your senses and put some gears on that thing :-D Curious if happen to have another 650B wheelset without Cush Core and can give an opinion on the difference on a steel HT like this? Does it help with undamped rebound that much at the lower pressures that the extra weight is worth it? Have to agree about the fork, on an FS not too bad since there's linkages in the back, but on the HT, looks weird. Hoping that maybe you're game to picking up a nice 500mm A2C rigid fork and building a nice 29er wheel, i40 and throwing a 3" tyre on there to see how it rides (should keep the geo fairly similar with that setup). Have to say, bit disappointed with that jank as hell rear brake setup, isn't this the adapter you need? Might have to take a file to it and take a mm off, but that's easy enough to do and would be much more solid a setup. www.jensonusa.com/Shimano-R203PS-Disc-Brake-Adaptor

Hey Kirk, just saw this- I didn't really have the Stylus "underforked", as despite the shorter travel, the Trust is a 29" fork with a longish axle to crown. The 170mm Z1 that's on it now and in the more recent Bike Check vid from a few weeks ago didn't really reel any slacker. I really like the Stylus, it's a very capable bike that's reliable and well built. I'm about to throw yet another different set up on it and change it up, will def. post some videos of that!

Obviously the 200mm dropper post takes care of your problem ;).. to me a steep ST angle makes more sense for full suspension's sag. Ability to slide up to nose on a hardtail plus ability to sit back and use gluteus-maximus uphill makes an argument for a slacker angle. Still, not selling mine.

I'd prefer some some of adjustable drop out solution, and I'd love to try a bike that has those Paragon adjustable drop outs. Rick Hunter (Hunter Cycles) has some cool drop outs as well. Horizontal, sliding dropouts are OK, but a total hassle. If you land sideways they can move, and aligning brakes every time you remove a wheel gets old quick. The tensioner is an easy, cheap, and tested method. It has a lot more tension than a standard derailleur, too.
