[RBW] Re: Is the Clem a Hillibike?

2020-05-08 Thread YQ
Hi GK - welcome!

I thought I would add my two cents because I have a Riv Atlantis set up for 
trail riding and recently bought a hardtail Santa Cruz Chameleon. I believe 
that whether you can hang with your friends will come down to the type of 
terrain you will be riding and your friends' skill and fitness level. The 
main thing I would consider is whether or not you will have fun based on 
where you are going to ride and the friends you are going to be riding with 
(irrespective of keeping up or not). I have found that if the terrain is 
too challenging for the bike or my skill level, I end up being too scared 
and beat up to enjoy the ride. But if your bike and skill level are a good 
match for the terrain, you'll have a lot of fun regardless of whether your 
friends are in front of you or behind you. A Clem can definitely be a lot 
of fun on singletrack, but singletrack can mean a lot of different 
things

Thank you all for the very nice comments -- I really appreciate it! To 
answer the questions I received:

J Edward -- the saddle is a WTB Pure V. The camo color is a Blue Lug 
exclusive.

Mark -- yes, it's an MIT frame.

Jim -- yes, shot on my iPhone.

Paul -- yes, it's my main mountain bike and my only bike; so I use it for 
everything.

Thanks again!

2020-01-28 Thread YQ
Thanks to the group for all the nice comments on the video!

Patrick, I'm in no way a professional videographer; I shot this with my 
iPhone and a small tripod. But I really appreciate your comments. The 
reason I didn't show any climbing is because I wanted the video to just be 
fast and kind of dreamy. I edited out all the climbing (which was basically 
every time I set up the tripod for a shot, I had to quickly climb back up 
the trail and then ride the downhill section a few times to get a good 
clip). But I will definitely keep that it mind if I make another video.

Thanks again,
Yakeen
