That's the Sur-ron electric dirtbike. Up front it has a 40mm wide 26" carbon rim with the only currently available 26×3" DH casing tire, the Duro Wildlife. Not great but okay and way lighter and faster rolling than the 21" moto options.what tires are on the bike on the right (with the 40)?
Theres a way to cut it to make it suck a little less.That's the Sur-ron electric dirtbike. Up front it has a 40mm wide 26" carbon rim with the only currently available 26×3" DH casing tire, the Duro Wildlife. Not great but okay and way lighter and faster rolling than the 21" moto options.
Yeah, I did that to my first 2 but got lazy by the third.Theres a way to cut it to make it suck a little less.
I still want to see your Freeride and Sur Ron. I’ll show you mine if you show me yours! Those are more DH than most of the stuff we talk about here, right?Yeah, I did that to my first 2 but got lazy by the third.
every time i get an order from jenson there's some bullshit wine of the month-type coupon. C'MON GUYS. at least make it for beer!
extra service like that cost like half a yeti in the usa, am i right?

Nice quiver!The Freeride's biggest problem is its steep head angle. Since this photo I've put on a taller front tire, shorter rear tire, stiffer fork springs, and lower handlebar. All that really improved the handling downhill or at speed. Next up is an air fork to drop weight and better dial in spring rate.
Since this photo it's gotten a plastic skid plate cuz the stocker got pretty bent and a DHX2 with Ti spring.
And here's my Hawaii Sur-ron with a slightly more budget build.

The Freeride's biggest problem is its steep head angle.
The Freeride is a hybrid trials/enduro bike with a tiny soft fork. The steep head angle plus the soft compression fork limits it a little bit going down but makes it pretty cool going up. Some people put offset bearing cups to slacken it from Cheney Engineering.Um, does the throttle not compensate for the steep head angle...? That's typically how I take care of issues even on steep downhill sections.
Yeah, after dialing in spring rate I'm gonna get the valving tuned. I'm happy with the firmer springs I put in and was about to move to the damping when someone gave me the idea to get the air fork. Supposedly 4lbs lighter.What about moar shimz in the forks as well?
Agreed! I think even the most ferocious anti-eBikes people out there should have their mind blown by the riding in this video.*opens video*. damn, that's some really impressive riding; unlike a lot of vids that simply treat them as self-shuttle rigs, this really leverages the capability of the ebike to push moves / lines otherwise undoable on regular bikes. a lot more like moto trials i guess. pretty neat (to this non ebike owner).
nordest does that too if you want a custom colorStripping the paint off of a 2019, repainting it and calling it a 2020 is weird. Is that a common practice for aluminum frames?
Santa Cruz Bicycles Announces Recall on Some 2020 Aluminum Nomad, Bronson, 5010, & Furtado Models - Pinkbike
They say that some aluminum frames were thermally damaged during a non-standard paint stripping operation and may bend or buckle, which could pose a fall hazard.m.pinkbike.com
looks just like every single other video of his. he's just doing a whole lot more pedaling in this one...Agreed! I think even the most ferocious anti-eBikes people out there should have their mind blown by the riding in this video.
Yes, I agree! I don’t think he could ride many of these crazy uphills on a regular bike however. Also, a DH video with an eBike would be lame AF.looks just like every single other video of his. he's just doing a whole lot more pedaling in this one...

Put that chain on a bike with some Z-torque cranks, absolute black oval ring, their magic super-lube, and these wheels: https://bikerumor.com/2020/11/23/super-wheel-springs-to-life-w-weight-to-energy-conversion-possible-e-bike-alternative/?fbclid=IwAR1jOS216W5ndO3A-Ni7q5rgXf_BB_OhSkXdUu18Xh_utXb_97Gdtu19QQ0Radical new chain claims to be faster, more durable than anything available
With over a century of refinement behind them, the roller chains used on modern bicycles are incredibly efficient, remarkably strong and durable, andcyclingtips.com

You'd be at about 134% efficiency by my calculations. Enough that you wouldn't even need an e-bike.
What would happen if you put all that on an Ellsworth trail bike? You'd probably just loop out as soon as you tried to pedal I suppose...Put that chain on a bike with some Z-torque cranks, absolute black oval ring, their magic super-lube, and these wheels: https://bikerumor.com/2020/11/23/super-wheel-springs-to-life-w-weight-to-energy-conversion-possible-e-bike-alternative/?fbclid=IwAR1jOS216W5ndO3A-Ni7q5rgXf_BB_OhSkXdUu18Xh_utXb_97Gdtu19QQ0

Uh fuck yeah, those bikes are "up to 100% efficient" according to Tony. We might even be able to get up to around 200% efficiency overall.What would happen if you put all that on an Ellsworth trail bike? You'd probably just loop out as soon as you tried to pedal I suppose...
