4/11/2023 6:13am I'm really happy with my last minute decision change to the blue frame! It looks great in the sunlight. The stock pictures on Intenses' website don't do it justice!

Re: Sealant. Neither myself nor the guys I ride with carry sealant. I’ll slap a tube in, finish the ride, and then worry about plugging it and adding more sealant (or ordering a new tire) once I’ve had a beer. Many enduro racers carry plug kits, and it’s not hard to understand why: a successful plug saves the tire and allows for the benefits of a tubeless tire for the rest of the race. For the rest of us, that might not be necessary just to get back to the car. Different strokes and all that.

Crankbrothers Stamp 1 pedals are around $50. You'll get far fewer flats with tubeless than with tubes. The sealant fixes them as they occur and you barely even lose air pressure. I keep some extra on hand to top off every 6 months or so, and I also change it out when I swap tires.

4/7/2023 5:23am 5 in a day is pretty impressive! What kind of adjustments did you seem to have to make the most often? I think I had about 8 hours total in the build, but i'm very new to all this and really took my time going through all the videos and literature for everything. I'll also admit that I somehow got...

4/7/2023 5:17am Thanks! I was questioning if the bright red was going to be too much, but I think it ended up playing very well with the red bits on the wheels and pops very nicely against the blue frame. I went with OneUp for both the flats and grips to make sure the color hue was the same between both.

4/7/2023 5:09am I was going to mention Karnow's deal as well. I will say, Karnow did take a little bit of heat and there was some controversy when he first started with the OF sponsorships because he was being paid by specific "content creators" and running their account handles directly on his bike. For his 22/23 deal, he's now working directly with...

4/6/2023 1:39pm After ordering the bike a few weeks ago, finally found a couple evenings to get it put together! I ended up ordering an "open box" model, which was $300 off MSRP, and everything was in perfect condition when it arrived. Assembly was pretty straight forward, as it was mostly just bolting on the wheels, bars, attaching the derailleur, and adjusting...

Depends. If your tire is still on the rim a plug and a pump will do the trick. But if you unseat the tire well it’s best to have a spare tube in that case.

Congrats! Not too sure about the price, but DMR, Canfield and Hope make good stuff. A few of my pals have had good luck with the resin One Up and Race Face pedals and those are under $100. As for fixing a flat, you’ll want to carry a spare tube (you can strap it to the frame with a ski strap or some aftermarket solution), means to inflate the tube, and/or plug kit. A small, foldable Allen wrench set isn’t a bad idea, either. Load up with some snacks and water and you’re good to go. If you find yourself...

3/25/2023 6:12am Update: went ahead and placed my order yesterday, can’t wait for it to arrive! Now the real fun starts with accessories and hop up parts 🤣 Any recommendations for flat pedals under $100? Assuming I will go with the tubeless setup, what happens when I get a flat? Do I need to keep extra sealant on hand?

Loved the intense spider I rode. Pretty sure this is the same bike just in their dtc line. Tempted to get one myself with that 1000 off any bike sale

Great bike, good components. Most of the cost-saving stuff is still quite usable and you can upgrade as you progress. I say get it!

Fell in love with biking last year when my coworkers took me out and I was lucky enough to ride a few of their "old" bikes for most of the year. I'm finally ready to pull the trigger on a new...
