-

that bottle opener is terrible, did you see how much beer they spilled?!
-
• #14581
agreed
-
• #14582
that being said, I do like the forks.

It's basically a Sequoia with €500 dropouts

'getting into the flow of a trail is a lost art' I couldnt buy something from a company that said stuff like this. Admittedly I have a bike that is very similar to this, but that was full custom, in a nicer tubeset, for less money. Mine doesnt have a bottle opener though :/

Copy in the video was just a collection of cyclo-related-clichés from around the internet. And read in a manner that would suggest a way smaller budget than their imagery.
It's just one dangle-specific piece of hardware away from being unbearable. -

It's not a lost art. Just shit riders needing 4 grand full suspension bikes to actually ride a peck trail. And your sscx/cx thing is more than enough for most trails.
Long live actually skilled riders

Interesting, why the rear porteur rack?
-
• #14592
Yes.
If you're carrying a few bottles of beer then presumably you have space for an opener as well amomg them.

Presumably the reason why that Rodeo thing has the same max clearance for 650b and 700c is because of the sliding dropouts? Both stays seem to have a continuous taper so the I suspect you could fit 50mm+ 650b tyres on there if you tried, or use 650b instead of 700c to give a shorter wheelbase.
That youtube video was annoying but pricing aside it looks like a very well thought out bike.

Tire clearance / Frame: Max suggested approx 48mm at 700c with approx 4-5mm radius for space for the elements. Identical specs at 650b.
Didn't know it's not custom, was on mobile.
To be fair, my custom bike was build with 700c x 38c, 650b x 58c, and 26" with 2.1 tyres.

Well to be fair, it's probably a nice frame.. might even want to own it. I just got really sick of the marketing in which they try to get into every bike hype around and act like they are the genius that thought of those hypes..
And I do think 650b is for kids
And that ugly fork, that really pissed me off. Just like those flatba......
Ok I'll relax now, sorry for that!

Doesn't the guy in the video use the bottle opener upside down?
On the other hand, wouldn't you need to remove the rear wheel to use it the right way up?
Those Wisecracker things are shit too, canny get anything other than tiny bottles in to them properly.
Just use your pedals/cleats/etc.

They are cool, to people too young to drink.
If you are outside and have a bike, beers, potentially some tools, and still need a dedicated bottle opener to open yer suds... you don't deserve them.
-

Or throw a big rock at the bottle.
-
• #14599
Or have one of these waiting halfway through your ride, bet it comes with a bottle opener
