CAM ZINK'S YT TUES CF


Cam Zink has been attending Red Bull Rampage for over a decade now, and each time his tires hit the red Utah dirt the mountain bike world takes notice, eager to witness his next mind blowing feat. The massive 360s he landed in 2010 and 2014, and the enormous backflip off the Oakley Sender in 2013 are some of the wildest moves ever performed on a mountain bike, and it doesn't look like Zink has plans to slow down anytime soon, injuries be damned (he's nursing a separated SC joint this year).

When the big day arrives on Friday, Zink will be dropping in aboard custom 26” wheeled YT Tues CF. The bike's black carbon frame has been decked out with a stars and stripes themed paint job, and just in case the American motif wasn't a giveaway as to whose bike this is, 'Zink' has been painted on the shock linkage.

Deity's TMac pedals aren't on the market yet, but that's scheduled to change in the next few weeks. The wide, concave platform was designed to provide plenty of traction for stomping landings, no matter how big the huck.

Sensus Swayze grips have been slid onto Cam's signature aluminum handlebar, the Deity CZ38. The bar measures 760mm wide and has 38mm of rise.

Suspension

The YT Tues has plenty of travel (208mm in the rear and 200mm up front) at the ready to absorb whatever comes its way, but it takes more than just spinning a few dials to get a bike's suspension completely set up for Red Bull Rampage. After all, plummeting to earth after launching off a 40+ foot cliff places unique demands on a bike's suspension, demands which require diving into the fork and shock's internals to alter the rebound tune and increase the end stroke ramp up.

To go along with the custom tuning from RockShox, Zink is running more air pressure in his RockShox Boxxer World Cup and a 350 in/lb spring on the Vivid R2C, settings which are slightly stiffer than what he would typically run for his 170 pound weight.

26" For... Sometimes

According to Zink, for DH racing he prefers to run a 27.5” wheel in the front and a 26” in the back, but when it comes time for Rampage, he finds that the slightly smaller wheels make it easier to maneuver the bike for flips and spins. A pair of Novatec Demon wheels are mounted up with a 2.7” Kenda Nevegal in the front and a 2.4” Honey Badger in the rear, both set up tubeless and inflated to 40 psi. That's higher than usual, but the reasoning is that a little less traction is better than running the risk of rolling a tire off the rim mid-run.

Drivetrain / Brakes

The bike's drivetrain is comprised of SRAM's 7 speed X01 DH gruppo, although given how steep the course is, Zink probably won't be doing much shifting during his run. There's still no chain guide of any sort up front, but that same set up worked out last year, and there's really no reason why it wouldn't work again.

Brakes are the final part of the equation, and Zink has gone with Avid Code brakes to keep things under control. The powerful four piston stoppers have proven their worth on the steepest terrain imaginable, and continue to be a popular choice for everyone from Rampage athletes to World Cup DH racers.

 26 x 2.7... hmm... so the general consensus around these parts lately has been that 27.5 x 2.35 is the hot ticket, and even in the past few years (2010-2014ish) in PA, it seemed everyone running 26 inch wheels was on a 2.35 tire and an "AM" wheelset for weight savings... I've always maintained that the wider 2.5 tires (the widest I could readily find, at least... I could almost never get my hands on a 2.7 Minion) would allow me to have more control, and as a result, reach higher speeds and go bigger. Lighter isn't always better.
  • 34 8
 Yup. 26" x 2.7 is about identical to 27.5" with a 2.35. Why would you stop making 26"?

Greed. The masses are dumb enough to believe that new is better, and will now have to buy everything all over again as a result.

You can stop letting them kill 26". It's not too late.

 I have 26" wheels on my 2010 Session, which, if I'm honest, has one more good season left in it before I retire the bike. What irritates me is that when I buy a new bike in 2017 (It's going to be an alloy Tues if they're still making one) I will have a well-maintained Fox 40, two sets of wheels, and about a dozen assorted Minions with 60% tread that will become essentially useless to me unless I keep the Session as a full backup rig. Shit can go wrong in a heartbeat, and if I'm going to be riding a bike park 15 hours from home, I'd like to have spares of items that commonly get ruined. But in the case of not being given a choice to run 26 by the industry, it puts me (and likely a lot of other riders who have spent some time amassing spare parts and don't have limitless funds) in a frustrating situation.

 @endlessbiking I like the Maiden and I think Rocky is on the right track by giving riders the choice of their wheels. What I don't like is the price and lack of an alloy frame (I love carbon but don't need to spend $2000 extra dollars to save two pounds. I'll do more cardio and eat less Taco Bell if weight is a concern).

 Here's a legit question: I know it mentions that this is a "custom" bike. Does this pertain to the graphics, the build, or the layup and angles of the frame itself? Essentially, what I'm wondering is if this is an off-the-shelf frame fitted with a 26 fork and wheels. If so, I'm even more sold on the Tues as my next bike. If not, no big deal, I've come to terms with accepting the reality of living in a 27.5 world.

 @anchoricex nice, thanks for digging that up! Great photos in that feature... something interesting about his bike that's worth mentioning... no one I know bothers to play with the reach adjustment on their levers. Apparently Zink does, and confirms that (at least in this department) I'm doing it right by cranking that dial WAY in.

 YT should do a flip-chip axle mount like my NS Soda.

It came with 27.5" wheels, but they get taco'd I can use the spare 26" wheels that I already have, and get shorter chainstays to boot.

It's win/win/win.

 @blinkpike choices are good. It's a shame they don't do the chip on the Fuzz as well. YT could potentially offer the 26" seatstays as an aftermarket option, but based on the carbon construction of the seatstays, The chip idea, if adopted by all the major players would, in my mind, ease a lot of the frustration being expressed by 26 guys like myself. However, in YT's case, I doubt that the expense of redesigning the whole piece to accommodate a chip-style system (also taking into account engineering, molds, materials, marketing, and testing) would be very cost effective, and in the end the feature probably wouldn't translate to a whole lot of sales growth. Maybe in a few years when the bike will potentially get a re-design for whatever gets adopted industry-wide by then (DI2, axle standards, etc) they'll move to a backwards-compatible system, but I'm sure that depends on how many serious customers are coming to them wanting 26 compatibility, as opposed to rando pinkbike commentors (I am aware that I am one, and I've come to terms with that).

 @Gr8day4ridin I'm not discounting the ride characteristics of a 27.5 bike. They're fast, they're noticeably better in the rocks, and it's easier to hold onto momentum. They feel great. What I'm bummed about is the spare 26" wheels and tires I've amassed over the past five years, not to mention the best fork I've ever ridden being incompatible with my next DH rig. I'm either going to have to keep my old bike as a whole and bring it along on trips in case I fold a 27.5 wheel, bite the bullet and pay resort prices for a new wheel/tire, or simply start from scratch, building new wheelsets and stockpiling my moderately-used 27.5 tires for spares when I inevitably shred a sidewall.

 26 wont die because of wheel size/ tire size mixing possibilties( i hope..). For a 160 am/enduro 650B bike having a dedicated DH wheelset is handy, so why not have 26 rear on that dh wheelset to slack things out a bit?
  • 5 2
 27.5 x 2.35 is a Dam sight lighter, faster and more flickable than a 26 x 2.7 (awfully close to + size that everyone is moaning about too)
But hey if people wanna slap lead tires on and wreck the handling just to be in the 26 for life club carry on.
personally I'd just stick my old 26 stuff on a 27.5 frame till it wore out then replace as normal. Nothing is lost or wasted. 27.5 costs the same as 26 stuff did.
Using a 26 x 2.7 at rampage makes sense due to the massive impacts and terrain ect but would be pointless on more normal terrain /situations IMHO

 Bla bla bla. How many of you have BOUGHT a NEW 26" bike this year? That's right crickets. The same 26" bikes we put on the showroom floor this spring are still sitting there with big sale tags on 'em. And that's why 26" IS, in fact, DEAD.

 I have a shiny, fresh set of Nevegals that I've had for a few years as a set of backup tires, but I always find myself bouncing between the old standard Minions and Bontrager G5s (the most underrated DH tire on the market). I know people who swear by Nevegals, so maybe I'll mount them up and give them a shot. If everyone on here hates them, well... at least they get a reaction. Schwalbes are too damn expensive, I don't care how good the Magic Mary is supposed to be.

Nevegals are pretty good in dryer/rocky conditions. I have a 26x2.7" and 2.5". Perfect for monster trucking thru gnarly rock gardens.

 Yes but certain products fail more than others. Are you going to drive an 80's Jaguar that's in the shop more than on the road because you've read that Lexus had a problem or two?

 All those pro's don't have to deal with how Codes start having seal problems after a year or two, though. Unless you replace parts as often as a pro, their component choices aren't always the best choice for you. Guides fix a lot of design problems from the Code era, that should enhance the long term reliability of the brake.

 why different shape of rotors ???
  • 2 2
 im 65kg and im running 360lb spring on my demo 8 and sometimes it feels to soft. and they recommend 280lb spring for my weight, but i guess the YT must be more progressive..

 The Tues has a longer stroke shock. And it is very progressive.

 You can't compare spring rates across different models of bikes.

 well ya i know that lol but i was hoping to him using at least 450lb.. im just surprised the low spring rate hes using. but again the YT has more travel then my bike so..

 Nice to know that a 2.7" tire will fit on a Boxxer.

 Yes it does (check my profile), but it sure makes that boxxer look tiny.
