You're overbiked - your new MTB is slowing you down.

Overbiking is real. Is your old mountain bike faster than your new ride? Think about it before buying a new bike - especially beginners. To try and prove it, I'm putting back together my old Chinese Carbon mountain bike and hitting the trail... in more ways than one! The bike is circa 2016, carbon full suspension mountain bike, 26er, and weighs in at 26.4lbs. I'm comparing it to a new 27.5 aluminum enduro-type bike at 36ish pounds Lets see what happens! 00:00 Introduction 00:16 Is your old bike faster? 00:46 Building up the old bike 01:49 Lets take a look! 02:17 The set up! 03:06 Time to hit the trail 04:13 The crash - it hurt more than it looks 04:25 OK, knee pads on and back on the trail 06:03 Which is faster? 07:26 What's next? #mountainbike #mtb #mtblife
