So I’ve been eyeing this set up for like ever! Literally, the most practical vehicle in the entire world for a working family man. Apparently in Wisconsin I have to drive to like California to get this set up for a new van. Where do you live and how hard was it to get this crew van set up for yourself? Were you able to order it from the factory with the crew package?

I lived in central California at the time, bought the van at the Ram dealership in Watsonville. They we’re getting them in equipped that way in the summer of 21. I had seen it first at the dealership in Turlock, but they were already spoken for. Then came across the same setup over near the coast and was able to grab her.

Hello, I am writing this with a translation program, if there are any errors I apologize. I just had a question? I have the same bike, namely a PRO-FORM smartpower 10.0, similar to your video on KZfaq. When I start my bike I see the IFIT logo and after a few seconds I get a white screen. The bike has always worked well, but currently I only see a white screen when I normally have to get the page with the different training sessions. Can one also reset that bicycle? Or if the screen is broken, can it be ordered afterwards and where? Can you help me out? I have the same screen as in the video on KZfaq. Thank you in advance and kind regards. Guy

Man I’m like smack dab in between the L and XL. Demo’d both and the XL just felt too big, but the L was a tad small too. Looking at other brands that recommends up to 6’3 for their L, with basically the same reach/stack/geo. The Mtb community seems split on sizing up or down
@PunkUncleShow
@PunkUncleShow 11 ай бұрын
It’s definitely a personal thing. My background is MX so I’ve always preferred a little longer reach than what is often specified. I like a little more room in the cockpit. Others feel a larger/longer bike is harder to turn. You can use a stem change to narrow in one way or the other as well. When I shop, reach is basically how I determine the size I want. If you know what you’re already used to, maybe figure out whether you’re more comfortable going longer or shorter from there? Thanks for watching. Let me know what you end up going with and how it works out!

Hey Gary! I sold the bike a while back, but it went to a friend and I see it on the trail or Facebook regularly 😁 Those wheels are so good I actually had another set custom built for my EVIL Following. On both bikes they have been really dependable and I’m a heavier rider as well (210-215 depending on what point in the ride it is 😆). With the Ripmo AF in particular, I felt the wheel upgrade for $800 was a great deal for getting that bike to ride way above its pay grade. To be fair, I haven’t ridden their aluminum rims, so I can’t give you a direct comparison perspective, but on their own…great wheels. Thanks for watching brother!

I have this post in the 30.9x150mm version. Best one out there for ease of adjustment in changing dropper length. The problem I have is that a very low torque on the seat post bolts results in freezing up the seat post. Anything over about 2NM prevents it from dropping, or if dropped, from coming up. Have you had this issue?

Sadly, but maybe not, I haven’t switched to the mullet yet. Only due to life/business being completely insane the last several months, not because I haven’t wanted to. It’s realistically probably not gonna happen til Fall now. HOWEVER, I’ve come to love 27.5 life! Since you have a Following (me too), you don’t have to ride the big bike on long pedal days and the 27.5 Insurgent is a super well mannered, yet rowdy rig for enduro or shuttle days. I think the mullet might help with speed a little bit and obviously be nice on steep tech, but the little front is super nimble at speed and makes it feel really quick. It’s a blast.
