    $1k for the suspension? I'll take it! I'll even come to pick it up in Bentonville! And as always, great video!!

    Hey Evan! Instead of using chemical removers or your finger on sticky removal, you can buy a rubber buffer for a drill and it works a charm! They use them in the automotive industry and they won’t destroy your paint if you get a good one! No nasty chemicals and no finger blisters
  • Evan, there's a chemical called right off. It's the only chemical I've ever used that actually takes off adhesive and it has a nice citrus smell. There is another chemical called right on and that helps when applying decals.
  • Chainstay protector: Clear mounting tape works well, make sure both surfaces are alcohol-clean. I’ve used Scotch and 3M in the past. Keep the videos coming! :)

    The Jeffsy uncaged 6 flight attendant was on sale (at least in Germany) for 4.999€. Used in good condition might go between 3.000€ and 3.700€ depending on how long you can wait. The YT Capra is on sale for 4.799€ right now with flight attendant and SRAM X0 Transmission.
  • As always, good content man. Good editing, nice pacing, and fun. Keep it up!

    Had the same issue with the existing wrap on my Jeffsy too. I ended up using MucOff Glue and sealant remover. Worked like a charm
  • @gr8fulride
    Clear silicone works well for reattaching chainstay protectors. I used it on my hightower a few times on the down tube guard.
  • Awesome video. Makes me want to go work on my bike listening to 80s disco. I fact, I’m going to go wash it right now
  • @sanjeever82
    yeah this is an awesome buy for someone like you who can fix it. super cool video. nice grab!
  • @AlvarezAzel
    Soaking the adhesive with WD40 or even some cooking oil for 20-30m will make it wipe right off, No blisters and sore thumbs!
  • @KaizersPOV
    There is a simple solution for this, not the best but a straightforward one. Since RockShox (RS) uses Axis on their dropper, why not lock up both suspensions when the dropper is at full extension, and open up both suspensions when the dropper is down? Think about it; it makes sense. You pedal when your dropper is up, and before entering a gnarly section, you drop the seat. So all they have to do is sync the dropper and the shocks.

    the colour combo of this bike is immaculate 😍😍
