    This is the content GMBN Tech should be striving for. Not like 99% of most video bike checks where people are just reeling off the manufacturer names (e.g. ahhh yehhh got Shimano drivetrain, it's sick! Got Fox suspension, so goooood).
  • every bike should be custom! Not to this level but, it should be yours! Enjoyed the detailed explanation to his setup for him not other riders or racers. My point is doesn't matter weather your a pro a beginner or in between there's probably going to be something that flies in the face of what should be best yet works great for you!
  • @tim__sadler
    Awesome Episode! love getting the insight into custom set-ups :hand-pink-waving:
  • Great content. Dont apologise for the detail its fantastic to listen to the thought rational of pro's
  • Joe Barnes just looks right wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and an open face helmet.
  • I want more suspension and tire talk from a bunch of guys to keep it interesting
  • @leavemealoam
    Pretty sure Joe actually has a custom front triangle too with a different carbon build up. Man knows what he wants.
  • @FOTB407
    We want to see more of these vids. More in depth vids abt custom bikes
  • Great interview Owen. And well explained too Joe. The frame looks like a Transition or may a Norco. Very nice.
  • @muztopbanana
    Very fascinating. I have same bike but so very different!
  • @JeffMTBinVA
    That was really cool. I would like to see more of these. Only 18 psi up front and no inserts, wow. Suggestion Owen, next time 2 mics 🙂
  • @benoc9966
    I thought it was a Norco Shore. Sir your cable is hanging out of your OneUp dropper lever!
  • @maxishappy
    I just put air in my tires till they feel hard to the squeeze
