The Riveter Bike Park New Bike Day

Gallagher had to go for a couple reasons. We'll start off, what was the actual investment that came to the situation with this bike? We were $500 in for the downhill bike itself, the way it was. Then I went ahead and got an investment of $200 for some Kodar brakes. Then I invested 400 into a fork. And then I had another 100 bucks in CushCorp. We are actually headed out to Bakers Creek Preserve because we're meeting up with someone because we are trading out Gallagher. This bike's gonna have half the travel that the Glory has. Just stay tuned and let's see what kind of bike it's gonna be. Bacon, black sugar croissant thing. I just never use it. I really never use it. I really love my trail bike that much. The Bronson has been a great all-around bike. In a lot of places that I've been going and doing and really doing a lot of progression, I feel like the Bronson's a great all-around bike. If anything, I would want less travel, not more travel. But now I found somebody that wants to trade a downhill bike for something new that I want. So I'm looking for a jump bike. Yo, so my man right here, we locked him in. Just got him a fresh hat and he got a fresh shirt. Locked in for riding. We actually just go ahead, this is the same guy I'm doing a bike trade with. But you guys can't know what I'm trading for just yet. The reason why I'm looking for a jump bike is there's this new place called The Riveter. So, you know what? Let's just show you what it looks like. Here's The Riveter. Hey, Steady, good morning. Yo, what's up? What's up, guys? How's it going? It's pretty good. We're gonna get a little ride in on a new bike. Are you gonna do any climbing or yoga today? I'll probably skip out on the yoga, but I might do some climbing. Cool. Get some good finger stretching going on. Awesome, sweet. Joey just rebuilt the lip. It's running really good. Sweet, well, I'm excited to get it done. All right, sweet. Thanks, buddy. Yeah. Oh, buddy. What's up, Steady? Oh, man, just hanging in there. Word. Just grabbed a new bike. You got a three-way? You finally got a new dirt jumper? Well, I got a dirt jumper. Okay. I took y'all's advice and the trail bike just wasn't working, so I pulled the trigger and traded my downhill bike for a slopestyle bike. I don't know if anybody's here. Is there a chance you might be able to sneak out for a lap or two real quick? Kind of show me the run? Yeah, for sure, I'm down. Sweet, man. Let's do this. Slowly, as everything gets ridden in, it gets faster. We're just watching how everybody rides the place. We've definitely beefed a couple of them up, so we're just going to keep on making little tweaks and stuff until everything should be pretty solid. So I traded the downhill bike for a Polygon Tread ZZ. This bike is not stock. It was actually Barry Noble's, and I'll leave a description below for his YouTube page. He's a pro BMX and mountain bike rider, and he has modified this bike. There's a bunch of gradient parts on it, including the bars, the crank, the stem, small things like the bars came at 750s, and now they're 760s. I haven't really looked at it. The drivetrain is now a three-speed from what used to be a seven-speed, and I'm going to see if I can do anything with the rear shock being a RockShox. The spank wheels are on it. So the bike's been highly modified from when it's stock, so thanks, Barry, for all the upgrades, even though it was a second in between. I did reach out. Love the channel. Check out his stuff. He's doing a lot of jump buildings and dirt stuff, just along with everybody else that's doing a lot of cool stuff going on, so definitely go check out his channel. I love this bike. I hopped on this bike and immediately felt at home. Everybody asks, well, how does a sloped-slal bike feel? Well, a DJ is very sharp, and when you point it somewhere, it's going to go right there. It's a little more relaxed than a DJ. You feel a little bit more on top of the bike, more in the cockpit rather than over the front, and it's forgiving, so it's got 100 millimeters of travel in the rear, but I run it super stiff, so I only get about 50 of that, and I max it out at 275 PSI, which is probably not good for the shock. That's why I want to change that out. The front one is a Manitou Circus fork. I'm not sure what it's set at. The stock shock would have been 100 millimeters, but I've seen so many circus forks at 110, 120, 130. I don't know how it is. Maybe, Barry, you can comment down below. Let me know what the travel is from the fork that you put on this bike. You don't really need the brakes. I'm not going to be riding in places where I'm really fluctuating speed unless I decide I'm going to go ride slope-style competition, which I probably won't do because I keep on blowing my knee up, but I'm loving this bike. I think it's the best place for it. I'm glad that the Riveter is here and gives me a place where I had a reason to get a bike like this, and I got to trade my downhill bike for a bike that I've been using. I've been at the Riveter, guys, at least every other day since they've been open. It is awesome. The vibes are great. The people are great. Everything going on there is amazing. They have non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages. You can just climb. You can just ride. You can just hang out and spectate. Just go in there and sign your waiver, and you're welcome to go check it out. You don't have to do anything your first time you go out, but they're super polite. Definitely go grab Joey and let him show you around if he's there, or Walker. Walker will be there. They're both bike park people, so get out there. Try some things. Hope you enjoy some of these runs, and we'll check you later when we do a bike upgrade on the Treadz Easy. Dude! You are a wild man! You are a straight wild man. That step up's gotta be like a seven foot step up.
