suspension is the best upgrade here’s three pointless upgrades number one saddle bag don’t put a saddle bag on your dropper post it’s just going to rub on the tire and probably get ripped off oh it’s all bad number two there’s no need for tire liners when you can go tubless number three The Rock shocks Reverb hydraulic dropper post don’t get one they always have issues and who wants to bleed your seat post especially since technology like the axis dropper post exists follow for more tips

Jesus loves you
I wanted to work for Rob back in the day. Needed a job bad. He didn't hire me😢😢😢
Don’t like tubeless that much
I’d say brakes are one of the best.
Number 4 don't fall your bike
My bike came with a reverb dropper. I have never serviced it. Sometimes if the post gets too dry I will put chain lube on it and push it up and down a lot. The only nice thing I do to it is not leave it down during storage. It has been 3 years and it still works fine lol.
This chick ain’t that hot
🤷🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
The AXS Reverb's internal is still hydraulic. 😂 It's service is still a challenging mess.
your upgrades are useless unless you can afford a thousand dollar dropper lmao
I can run tubeless I just don’t want to bc it makes me faster down hills and with tire liner adds even more weight 😅. Brakes What r those 😅
Tubeless is always better
Man are u okay??😅
1up components dropper post the best
This guy is a clown.
We learned about saddle bags whe suspension came on the market
Hahah nerd
Recommending an AXS seatpost over a cable actuated one is completely dumb considering that they are both hydraulic and made by SRAM.
Hi
Yep., Rockshox Reverb are such a huge piece of crap. I have to bleed them every 3 months.
I did the saddle bag thing
On my Demo 8
I knew it was going to happen but one can hope 😂
the non-mtb NPCs in the comments are killing me.
Meanwhile im riding old mtb with cracking sound in pedal😂😂😂 with shifter not shifting 😂😂
anyone that dont like RS reverb is probably american and loves to waste money on new droppers every year.
For reals. My reverb seals blew after only 100ish hours of use. Rebuilt them, sold that bitch, and got a fox transfer and been happy ever since.
Tubeless is bullshit
Always heard people complain about the reverb. I ride constant and bleed it about once or twice a year and have never had a problem. I’ve had it since 2015 and have transferred it to my past three tracers😂
I have a rockshox reverb 😅
I agree with 2 and 3 but number one depends on the type of mountain biking
I’ve had my reverb for years without issues (or a bleed 👀
The fall at the end😂
So much overengineering…. airsuspension, Hydraulik Brakes, so emberrassing such a Waste
why do you have plastic pedals?
Aren't tubeless tires heavy though?
probably the biggest waste if money is upgrading from fox performance to factory suspension… same thing diffrent color at least 30% more expensive
Nice hair, douchnozzle. 😂
Disc brakes!!!
Problem is whith tubeless once you got a puncture you've got it for life unlike innertube
why have the saddle bag face the back tyre when you can have it face the handlebars what?
E thirteen mechanic dropper post.
No freakin hydraulics who can cause issues.
meanwhile he has the axs reverb which is still hydraulic hahaahah
1× is the most pointless idea. It should still remain on a road like like a cruiser, not on a mountain bike. Come on, people, what are you thinking? I really don't want you to think for me. But it is a dumb. Dear all the same, you can't go any faster if you want to go faster. It takes time to change. Your level gears on the crank, which makes absolutely no sense. A 3 by is just as good or better and more options, and it only takes a second not however long it can take you to take a crank off. Switch out the gear, mount it back on the bike. When you really need it that moment pointless, absolutely.
What rational person would think this was a good idea seriously and then spend thousands of dollars for a $20 ithat's another thing. I can't wrap my head around. This is why I think it don't make any sense. It's cheap as hell to make expensive as held a buy. It's not catching on yet. It's a waste of time. I think and money spending mspending more money for a one by set up mind-blowing. You're not getting the same ride. Don't care what the ratio is. It doesn't make any sense.
Head should remain on the road where it was not on the trail on a bike. You're spending over $3000 on it. Yes?
A dumb concept and I can't believe they have an ass for every seat with this one
