Thanks for the shoutout Rob, you're a great friend. I'm THRILLED you're on the TM2, it's such a fantastic bike. Marin knocked it out of the park with this thing.

I have a Team Marin 2 and love it. It can handle black diamond trails for sure. It's been my go to since I got it. I find myself riding it more than my Fezzari La Sal Peak. I'm really looking forward to following along this series. California in the house!

Love my Marin. I’m tempted to add this to my stable in addition to the Rift Zone 3 I have already

@Kevodabomb_Media 11 ай бұрын

You and HT Party have convinced me on this one. I had a cheap Giant Talon I started on. It was super fun, but it started to feel like I was pushing it past it’s limits, and started having issues. I then upgraded to a YT Jeffsy AL Comp 29, and while it was a fantastic bike, I felt like I was over biking everywhere and I often missed the simplicity and “sketchiness” of my cheap hard tail. I ended up selling it because my local trails are fairly tame. I also discovered i like longer rides with some chunk here and there, and while I love a good downhill I’m not a huge fan of enduro style riding. I’m thinking and hoping this will be exactly what I want and need! Super excited to get it delivered.

That's nice yours came with an XT derailleur. Ours are still spec'd with SLX like their website says. Great upgrade on a great bike!

I planned on purchasing this in the Spring but cancelled my order and upgraded my 27.5 Bobcat Trail 3. I really regret that decision. Going to sell it and get the Team Marin 2 next Spring.

It’s a good frame, well the new design is. Needs some upgrades, wheels, brakes, stem, bars etc. Good starting platform and it can handle tough chunk. Definitely get rid of stock wheels.

@peterbaskind9872 Жыл бұрын

I am not sure that I understand how Shimano views SLX. They have expanded Deore so much to add some value options that SLX seems a bit redundant. Moreover, the differences between SLX and XT mechanical are often quite subtle. Shimano is in the early stages of refining their flat bar groups. I wonder how/if SLX will change. I did, however, just complete a build with XT 11-speed. It’s SUPER cheap now. $58 for a rear mech.

@oldshovel Жыл бұрын

I really like their 11 speed xt group set also.

@jellyfishsalad5926 10 ай бұрын

Impressive doing a ride report while actually riding. I presume you don't have an autocue mounted on your bike and it's all from memory?

@barclayholmes5982 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video, you answered my burning questions regarding the frame issues/cracks. Was it 9 out of 10 frames or a few isolated cases, possibly involving huge drops Has Marin addressed this going forward? I assume they will replace frames, maybe with the new rev.

@felipealvarez2466 Жыл бұрын

They were the first generation of this team Marin 2 that had issues. Both seat stays on my 2021 cracked about the 8-10th ride with normal riding. Since then Marin has gone through 2 revisions. The current one with the seat bridge is there latest revision which should be good to go. It's pretty much the same bridge and diameter tubing that's used on the San Quentin which has been bomb proof.

@pavelkarafiat5650 5 ай бұрын

Thanks man for this video, looks like a great bike. I wanted to ask what size would you recommend, I'm 182cm? I know the charts say size L, I like smaller frames with a longer seat tube and offset seat post, but I don't know if an M would be too small for my height on this bike. Unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity to try it anywhere and will have to order it from a foreign e-shop. Thanks for your help.
