Handup shorts have back pockets! It drives me crazy that all these bicycle clothing companies design pants and shorts with no back pockets. Yes I understand that while I am riding my bike(seriously), I would not want anything in my back pocket. Most people I know have to drive to get to the trails. Having a back pocket allows me to put my wallet, etc. in my back pocket while driving to the trails. Makes stopping for food, the store or bar, whatever to and from the trails easier. For a quick ride around the neighborhood or down to the store simple. For me, I tend to just find good shorts that I can wear all the time. I hate have to change for every different activity. Thanks Handup, I'll be looking to buy some of your shorts soon.

Echoing all the others - love your stuff. Another diehardtail fan here. But really, came here to say it stoked me out when I saw the tire & instantly knew it by tread. The GC grid is so slept on in its category. Just put on a fresh set of T7 grid 2.35s today, in fact. Great value tire.
@spenserrr Жыл бұрын
Hey Steve, I'm sure it's somewhere in one of your many videos, but what is your most common front tire choice when you're running a GC grid rear? Still think it's a superb & realistic tire choice for so many people. Currently trying out butcher T9 front & purgatory T7 rear, which I thought I'd find a bit slow - but I'm not one whose riding aims to squeeze out every ounce of speed, and it's working out really well so far.

Hi bro, brilliant unbiased vids, with in depth reviews. A question? I'm 55yrs old, UK mucky weather based, ridden many bikes/brands over the years, parts/materials/everything from BMX early 80s coming to the UK, to now. I got a fatty not naming brands on this question, so I got a fatty non suspended, 4.8in tyres on a 26in wheel on a steel frame, 2x hard tails aluminium 140mm travel , steel hard tail non suspended 3in tyres on a 27.5 wheelset, gravel bike aluminium 700c with 38mm CX tyres but can't get used to drop bars. Years ago I loved the XC hard tails, light, fast, responsive. After losing some family members depression kicked in, and my fit body turned into a fat body just over 300lbs. So what options have I got hard tail wise that can motivate me to get my weight down under 300lb back on track so to speak and get motivated again. I see most carbon hardtails are still PF bottom brackets which I'm not so fussed on, as I prefer silence. So guessing my only option is steel maybe, in a 29er, with 80/100mm front travel? Can I have your thoughts and experience on this question please. Thanks.

I will be going up and down small mountain trails replete with tree roots, branches and small rocks. I will not be going over big boulders or flying through the air. Secondly, I will be going a bit over some relatively "clean" paths over open fields.
