    i agree with everyone else your vid is crap all u r doing is telling us about your bike and p.s. my hard tail would give that bike a run for its over priced specialized price tag and full sus

  15. reiukitsune says:

    It’s okay. Especially for a run to 7-11 or store. Make sure you put a basket in front..you’ll be fine.

  16. ravindave96 says:

    Umm i’m pretty sure most of the people looking at this video aren’t retarded, so pls don’t talk to us like we are “you want to keep this side of the bike up, not this side” and i agree with others on here, you arent telling us how to choose a bike, you are just telling us about yours, and a few other people on here are right, specialized sux! But Kbizzl, pls dont accuse all mtn bikers of being tossers just because of fwits like this?

  21. cuevarap says:

    Mountain bikes are good for almost anything including streets especially with smooth threaded & thinner tires: like tougher hybrids or “super hybrids”. Can go real fast too and, unless you’re a road speeding competitor, are the best choice.

  22. DeepBluieeTV says:

    are mountain bikes bad for using on the street???

  23. DeepBluieeTV says:

    LOL

  24. hydr0pwnics says:

    all u did was tell us about your bike lol, nothing to do with how to choose a bike, and specialized sucks! haha

  25. kbizzl says:
