What Counts As Riding Weight When Setting Up Suspension? | #AskGMBNTech

Doddy's back with another episode of Ask GMBN Tech! Have you got some burning MTB questions for our walking mountain biking encyclopedia? Make sure you leave them in the comments below using the hashtag #AskGMBNTech and your question could feature in an upcoming show!
⏰ Time Stamps ????

00:00 - Start
00:26 - Why do new stems have a ‘No Gap” clamp mark on the top part of the stem? Is it a new standard or does it benefit in some way?
01:48 - When you discussed bike manufacturers, you never mentioned Hope. They make their own frames and are only a stone throw away from yourselves?
04:47 - Please visit Orange Bikes, the fact they still making amazing bikes in the UK is amazing and I feel they are somewhat forgotten.
06:15 - When calculating spring rate for a coil shock they say to use your ‘riding weight’, does that include the bits and bobs we strap to their bike?
08:06 - I recently bought myself a new bike but it has some dents in it!?
10:50 - During a cold ride, I suddenly felt like there was no oil in my front brake when I pumped the lever the pressure came back, what happened?
12:54 - I have a question regarding angle changing headsets. Can you get them for straight steerer tubes?
