Here is a good loop around Santiago Oaks. First off, you would park at Irvine Regional Park Lot B. The entrance is just across from the lot. Parking is $3 on weekdays and $5 on weekends. From there you would ride to and up Chutes. Once you reach the top, make your way down Cactus, up Bumblebee, down Hawk, up Mountain Goat, and finish off with Chutes Ridgeline. There are several other trails/loops to hit. Just wanted to show you guys this one!

Thanks for the informative video, man! Just started riding a couple years ago and I've never been to Santiago Oaks. I like to nerd out on videos before I hit new trails.

Glad you liked the video!! This is a fun place with a bit of everything. I like to do the same just to know what I’m getting into haha. Safe riding 🤘🏼

The Oaks is a fun place if you're a beginner. Laguna canyon woods has a wider range of trails and is a lot funner

Thanks for the video. Did you end up getting new brakes? As a fellow SoCal rider, I’ll recommend Hayes Dominion A4s for some of the gnarly descents we’ve got out here. I’m a big dude, so in addition to lever feel and modulation, stopping power is important to me. The Hayes are pricey but are easily the best brakes I’ve ever used. I’m running a 203mm rotor in the back with a giant 220mm out front. Cheers.

@Oscar_Hdz Ай бұрын

Appreciate it bro! I ended up with TRP DHR-EVO’s 203 front and rear. I was debating on getting the Hayes but chose the TRP’s. I’ve enjoyed them so far! Great consistency all day. I’ll definitely run Hayes on my next bike 🤘🏼

A county pass is pretty cheap. $50 I guess and it is good for 12 months. Works at Aliso, Santiago Oaks, Laguna Canyon etc. fun loop

I felt the same way about my brakes. Went from some entry level Shimano's on my first bike to Level T SRAM brakes and was constantly going off the trail because of lack of stopping power... I upgraded to G2 RSC's with the HS2 rotors and I'm now having a much better time. How do you like your TRP's??

@Oscar_Hdz 3 ай бұрын

I’ve used G2’s on my previous bike and they were good! The rotors make a big difference too. The HS2’s are thicker so that helps with heating and overall power. The TRP’s have been better. Less pain in my hands. Also enjoy that they stay powerful all day. They don’t loose power. When your pads run out try putting in MTX Brake pads. Those have worked well!

Thanks for the video. I have been getting lost in Santiago Oaks and can't find the loop back. Do you have this path on Strava by any chance?

No problem! Yes here is the link to that ride. I started at the park and looped all the way back. strava.app.link/scicZYhN1Jb

Idk..people say sram brakes aren't good..but I've had nothing but good braking from spam code R..I co.e from a moto background a d feel like they are really similar

@Oscar_Hdz 4 ай бұрын

I think it might be the amount of modulation they have compared to most other brakes out there such as Shimano, Hayes, TRP… etc. Those brakes don’t modulate as much as the SRAMs which might be the reason they get a lot of hate.

Trails are open for everyone at every level to ride. Stop the bitching, not everyone can go full speed on black diamond trails. I highly doubt you do any maintenance work on these trails
