hi sorry do bother do you think the homemade tire sealant using sugar works??

I don't think that you've done this test under the right circumstances. Aaron starts his run with the cain on. He was abel to do several hard pedal strokes that got him up to speed before the chain went of. You were starting with no chain, trying to create some speed by having your feet on the ground pushing. If you would redo that test with a chain on and some pedal strokes at the start and than quit pedaling, you wouldn't bei slower than with a chain, if you end the run without a misstake, of course. Looking forward to see your videos in 2017! Happy New Year!

One chain vs 2?

Thanks for all your great videos! :)

no chain downhill sounds badass and pro

I think removing your chains does make your rear suspension more active, therefore you probabaly went through the knarly sections quicker.

wow

Shouldn't you also remove your casette? The chain itself is not heavy, it's the casette that will really save you lots of weight and add maneuverability.

Good content as always guys - but for God's sake please roll back on the compression on the audiotrack, the music jumps out painfully loud and doesn't seem to match levels of speech (don't look at dB meter it's lying). Hope you can receive this criticism without hard feelings. You're good, you can do better!

i did this to on my bike last month and im not yet home dont get me wrong about this... just saying tho

I wonder if they'd be able to out run an animal in the wild. Like a panther or some shit.

I was waiting to find out what the alternative was to a chain, only to find out that they did actually mean no drive. Amazing.

i can see this potentially working on a vertical downhill track due to the reduced weight but no flats or uphill

If you don't have your chain on there's less resistance for the rear wheel thanks to the chain not being connected to the sprockets at the rear reducing friction in the hub itself

I was way to focused on the music

Shit! I took off the chain from my motorbike. Took more than 2.5 secs slower to get to my job.

Did you feel the vibration?

i watch u everyday

keep on making vids

your my insparation you are so good im getting a good bike to do things like you
