Just built mine and rode it for the first time last weekend - great bike. my first new bike in about 12 years. The bike is very stable and fun to ride. I'm 6'6" and got the XXL - it's the first bike that's fit me properly. Weighed in at 35.5 lbs though which is a bit heavier than I thought it would be but it's a big bike and aluminum frame. I love this bike - works as advertised for sure.

A really useful video. I’m looking at ordering the Izzo and one of the things that has always concerned me is the (albeit very limited) requirement to add the derailleur, but this take the worry away and I’ll be sure to have your vid handy when the day arrives! Cheers.

Glad it was helpful! Yeah, the derailleur was the most confusing bit, but once you get it figured out it's actually quite straightforward on the Jeffsy, and I would assume the Izzo is very similar if not identical. Have fun with it, it looks super cool! I definitely would have considered that, but they didn't release it until after I was up and running on the Jeffsy. (No regrets, I love the Jeffsy...but the Izzo looks really cool too, I hope to try one someday).

I just put mine together, but I’m not sure if I used the torque wrench correctly. So, I just set the the needle to a specific rating, and then tighten until it’s in place? Or is it supposed to click ?

@CharlieWentOutside

3 жыл бұрын

A "real" torque wrench would click. The ones that come with the Jeffsy don't click though, they just kinda stop being easy to turn when they've hit the set torque. If you've set it to the correct torque, tightened, and it feels like it's tight and pushing more isn't really doing anything, you've probably got it right. (That said, in the long-run you may want to pick up a proper torque wrench that clicks if you're going to be working on your bike yourself. Amazon sells one by "Pro Bike Tool" that I've been happy with. But you don't need this for assembly, especially if you've got the Base (non-carbon) model like I do.

Someone told me to buy YT Jeffsy Base instead of Vitus Mythique VRX. What are your thoughts?

@CharlieWentOutside

3 жыл бұрын

I haven't ridden the Vitus. On paper they look pretty similar. Vitus has a little less travel, but it also has a threaded BB, which is kinda nice if you're going to be working on it at home (the Jeffsy is press-fit, which is kind of annoying). Same drivetrain, same geometry (more or less). Two big differences are the brakes and the fork/shock, but I haven't ridden the parts on that Vitus so I can't say if they're better or worse. If you have a chance, obviously I'd say ride both and see how they feel. Honestly, I'm guessing you'd be happy with and get lots of fun out of either bike, but without having tried the Vitus myself it's hard to know how it might feel different from the Jeffsy.

If you DO plan to do a lot of repairs at home, a threaded bottom bracket is just nicer because it's easier to fit in securely - it's just like screwing in a screw, whereas with a pressfit bottom bracket putting one in is a bit more complicated. I'm hoping to make some videos explaining some of these "bike basics" over the winter season this year.
