You gotta get a 55T chainring with the 22T rear. I have the gravel edition which uses a Gates drive, and Gates sells various chainrings, cogs and belts. I also run Challenger Gravel Grinders 700 x 38's. I think everyone ends up with a 120mm stem... I did!

I’m seeing this clip, three years after the fact, and have not been able to go through all of the comments. I have the same color Rockhopper (1993, I believe). Does anyone know the size of the rims and tires on this dude’s bike. I have 26” x 1.5” rims/wheels and I’m trying to figure out what range of tire sizes I can use. Clearly, I’m a novice, so any info would be greatly appreciated.

I’m 35 now I rode a little bmx when I was younger. I havent done anything outside of just riding a bike since I’ve been like 18. Also I broke my foot,ankle and leg a few years ago and riding a bike is pretty much the only athletic form of exercise I can really do anymore. Just got a dj this spring, up until a couple weeks ago I’ve only been just riding it trying to get some muscle back in my atrophied leg. Been riding a pump track now for the past couple weeks. And it feels so good to get two wheels off the ground again. Can’t quite clear the tabletops on it yet but I’m definitely getting there.

Drop bar bikes are the fastest for the road. Unfortunately, where I live, it's taking your life into your hands to ride the busy roads. The trails are open and safer when you're careful. With e-bikes, I suspect drop bars will become less popular.

The trails you chose to ride are a more determining factor than the bikes are. I know that these super-buffed dirt roads with artificial features made with precision contours are the current fad, but I'd like to see a similar bike comparison on a fun, old-school single track.

Great points here ! There's also a large amount of 35 year old guys on the trails that really want people think that their a pro or aspiring to become a pro based on having a $10,000.00 bike. They'll actually run you kid and you wide right off the trail, especially if they're riding a budget bike. 😂😂😂😂😂

I just got a dirt jumper after riding a 26 inch bmx for a while and before that 20 inches, honestly I feel like the dirt jumper is harder for 180s and things like that, I don't have any pump tracks or trails around here really, thinking about getting a 22inch bmx for tricks and the dirt jumper for jumps, but I want to learn the tricks on the dirt jumper so when I go to bmx it's a lot easier

The thing with rigid MTBs is that you really have to learn how to RIDE! You have to think on the fly. You have to really think about your line choices, because you don't have suspension to bail you out of your stupidity.

I have an Fx3 Disc Large that i just setup for bikepacking. Ive been wanting to a kit for it and there is no videos out there with an FX3 for a middrive... Kinda bummed now. Hub motors dont work because i have thru axles. ANd the middgrive is what i want but this mean i have to destroy my bottom bracket. The other thing i wonfer is how heavy the setup is. What weight it all is so that counts towards how much stuff i can pack. And if im touring how much harder is pedaling when not using the motor. Because im looking at 50 mile trips with no recharges. So alot of it would be pedal only. I want the ebike for my commute to work everyday. And for a little boost on hills only when im touring.
