    I fixed the internal cable rattling in my T8. It was easy. I used internal housing damping foam. I think it was Jagwire brand that i used. Its completely silent now.

    Great vid guys. I have the Norco sight C1 and couldn't be happier. Black diamonds no problem. Haven't ridden and double blacks.....yet. They could be right up your alley and Norco are having a huge sale atm. Keep going hard boys. Best of luck bike hunting.

    I'm glad to see you boys got to the T8's limits and were able to take them to the edge and are now ready for something new. Can't wait to see what you get next! Exciting times ahead for the both of you!
  • @Steezy_MTB

  • Looking forward to seeing what bikes you guys end up with. Let’s ride soon!

    I started my trail riding on a T8. They are exceptional bikes for the money. I have watched you both progress both online and in the flesh. I understand wanting a bigger travel bike and know first hand the benefits it can bring. I also know that going to 170/160mm in travel also has it's down sides particularly in Sydney. I think you will notice a massive difference if you are going to a 29" particularly for the tech stuff. 27" is playful but the 29" IMO is more capable over rocky/rooty tech terrain. I'm keen to see where you boys go on your next purchase. Again, IMO (for what little it is worth) geo and wheel size is more important than travel, considering your travel is 150/140 already. Nothing better than a new bike day though.

    Awesome video! Thank you! Y’all gonna jump on the Collosus N9?

    3:41 Maybe a longer cable would help, maybe Jagwire Anti-Kink End Cap would help. Maybe using some rubber wrapped around the cable, where it goes into the frame, so it moves less. I wrapped inner tube I cut into 1 cm wide strip wrapped it, used zip tie at the end, I had a bike where cable rubbed on the chain stay. But for internal routing Jagwire have internal routing sleeves to put on the cable. I've not tried it. I'm glad I have external routing on everything apart from internal dropper post. But a product I've tried lately was Jagwire 5G Tube Tops which was awful, falls off too easily, it's the latest version of the rubber pads that protect the pain from the cables. But the old version was better, this one twists off too easily. I tried a product from BBB cable wrap which performed better.

    Been riding a T8 for 2 years. Upgraded to 160mm Fox factory fork and X2 in rear. Changed the bike. XT everything also. The frame geometry is very capable. But for me it’s time to move on also.
  • @avqr31english43
    My guess is N9? Yeah they might be a bit heavier but again that $$$$ value.
  • @TWLBJ
    Can't go past a trek slash 8 22 model for the next bike 😂
  • @freddyassalt1190
