Remy Metailler Signs with Propain Bicycles

 He certainly didn't have to mullet over

 Tastes like

 Propain looks ready to explode

 @salespunk: Hank Hill= team manager

 Propain sending up a flare for the dentists.

 @BenPea: they will have a lot of work if everyone starts riding freeride without a real full face helmet...

 @pasteque51: Dont forget, its Remi

 @Dimdumb: I worry about the kid who will want to look like Remy, not about him

 The color is definitely mint chocolate chip ice cream.

 @pasteque51: Understood

 THAT'S MY PURSE! I DON"T KNOW YOU!

 Sweet lady propain. Damn it Bobby. I came here to make that same exact comment haha.

 Wait for the remy20 code

 BOBBY!

 Bobby, if you weren't my son, I'd hug you.

 They'd surely make him king of the hill.

 Propain propain Time to start the game Propain propain Propain propain...

 Man all these comments look so funny but I don't get the reference! Can someone help me with a link to where it's from?!

 @remymetailler: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FA__4fLBos

 @remymetailler: youtu.be/Rt4nTg0nD_M

 @remymetailler: remy...remy remy remy...you have been missing out bigtime

 "Ain't you them kids that've been whackin' off in mah tool shed."

 @rustiegrizwold: Now that makes sence! Ahah pretty funny

 @remymetailler: happy to see you on the same bike and setup as me. The propain and dvo combo really smash

 @remymetailler: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt4nTg0nD_M

 Pocket Sand!

 @dubiousdesigns: @remymetailler oddly enough the city of Halifax is considering a paved pump track for the land that the Trailer Park Boys set formerly used.

 @eh-steve: randy must be going thru hell lot of burgers hahaha

 @eh-steve: this is the REAL comment we all came to see.

 Lady Bird!!

 @remymetailler: Remy, don't worry that you didn't understand the references. Not everybody is a fan of "Redneck" humor. Nobody I know but I hear there are a few. GIT ER DONE!!!!

 They really need to make a new model and call it Strickland

 Lol, good one champ.

 All things being equal, my money would go towards a Propain (If I could get one) before a Cube. Cubes might ride nice, but not a good looking bike line at all

 Remy's reach goes way beyond BC. From this side of the pond, for the longest time we've been looking over to you guys to see what's cool. So signing a Canadian freerider absolutely makes sense for a German brand, even as an advertisement to sell more bikes to the German crowd.

 @BenTheSwabian: ^^ Spot on.

 @BenTheSwabian: wait until I tell you he's French.

 Cube have been able from certain bike shops, I've had a Cube Fritzz for 5 years I bought from a Calgary bike shop. Been looking at Propain for almost a year now but still no Canadian shipping.

 @BenTheSwabian: he's French, but has abandoned accent marks

 @ceecee: well then he's dead to us

 @BenPea: @BenPea: said an Englishman. Other fun facts: Métallier had little appreciation for cheese until he became a Canadian national and prefers to conclude a ride with red wine

 To be fair, it doesn't seem like they are available anywhere. Like most bike these days I guess. I'd order a spindrift today if they'd take my money.

 @ceecee: it's Tuesday today, so I'm French. Joint custody.

 @bman33: they neglect their frames. reviews pointed it out and I agree, that's partly how they have good prices.

 @BenPea: I knew that he's French. I meant Canadian as in country of residency and where he rides. My point was about the BC and PNW riding scenes influencing the rest of the world.

 @timotheysski:

 @BenTheSwabian: Wait a second...signing someone who doesn't race and doesn't have podium results in the current decade is effective?

Full disclosure: Sarcasm-o-Meter fully charged.

 Dude shreds but seems to be super attentive about picking outfits that match

 @zombiejack33: I think he picked up a 7 Mesh sponsorship recently as well...

 Should he look like he got straight out of bed with a dirty moustache while crushing a beer before heading to the nearest dispensary? Dude shreds like no other, runs a successful youtube channel, pays attention to how he looks, AND looks smart enough to write a book of short stories... y'all are delusional if you think this is a bad thing. Dude's obviously killing it.

 @bigsleepy3: sounds like your type eh? Lol

 Fixed: "Why does Remy always look like he's about to ride to the nearest cafe to work on his video of regularly released short stories and anecdotes in full accent?"

@remymetailler...this is an excellent outlet for your Propain and Propain accessories. Do it. Si vous plait....SI VOUS PLAIT!

 @zombiejack33: ride it raw zombie

 @zombiejack33: sure why not? You think that’s an insult? Remy is top 5 handsome mountain bikers in the game prove me wrong.

 @bigsleepy3: No insult, you like dapper dudes who ride bikes. None of my bizz

 Braaap!!!

 Not sure if they could handle the extra demand.

 @Maestroman87: What you mean? Just because it's a small company? Loving my 2017 prime. Loved my 2014 spitty. Think I'm on banshee for life. They're just such good feeling, user friendly, no BS bikes. Frames cost a bit of coin tho...

 @dglass: I've been riding Banshee since 2005. Just got a v3 Rune. I just mean they have small production runs and sell out fast as is. The added attention and potential sales would be hard for them to maintain. Just a guess.

 Remy is probably too big already for Banshee to afford him. Don't get me wrong, Banshee is awesome, but its a 3?-person company with limited international distribution capacity.

 @Maestroman87: because Propain can??

 There needs to be more Banshee content on here! I've had several Banshee's and now looking back at getting a new Rune since my V3 Phantom was so good.

 @CircusMaximus: better chance. They seem to be looking to expand into NA. Will certainly be challenging during the pandemic though.

 No thanks. I like my Banshee Prime as the obscure trail conversation piece it is now. Those that know what they are looking at always strike up a conversation about it. Those that don't can cruise by on their big name carbon rocket ships.

 @dglass: I had a chance to buy a Titan frame at a fair discount last year before everything went nuts, but hesitated and lost. Kicking myself now.

 @boozed: Foolish foolish man.

 @boozed: oofie! Take a digital kick from me!

 And George Brannigan too!

 C-Dog, Atwill, Remy, and Brannigan...one of the heaviest teams in the game.

 The colab no one realised they wanted

 I was hoping he would be on GG with Yoann.

 I thought maybe Transition...

 I wanted Hyper just cause zink did it

 Honestly, with supply delays, we may not even see them anywhere in the world.

 Right now?

 Remy, Yoann, and Danny Hart are the three I look forward to most. Watching the best of the best riding with great production, and all three seem really likable.

 I thought the same thing, massive hucks on a brand new setup? It usually takes me about 30 days to get my setup dialed and then slowly get on pace from there.

 @salespunk: It does depend a lot on the bikes, If I don't get used to it right away, it probably just does not fit my riding style. I got used to the reach and wheel base as well as suspension design right away. It took me 2 rides to get used to the longer chainstays (Which I really like, but four 5 years I have had shorter ones). That video was my second day of riding.

 You must have missed the clip of him sending the massive drop on an old Kona Stinky he had never ridden before.

 @gnarnaimo: I though it was a banshee

 @remymetailler: Impressive! Sounds like that's why you're a pro and I'm just a schmo!

 @ybsurf: Ah your right! Either way..

 @salespunk: Do you have no reference measurements and settings for how to adjust your bike? When you have and use these, the difference is not that massiv after all, more like an own character.

 At this level riders typically act a sort of universal adapter and no accessories are required.

 #itsNotTheBike

 Philling up the highlight real with filthy hits.

 Don't they already ship to USA? Thought I saw an article about that awhile back.

 @TheLoamDeranger: they have a US distributor (in Vegas or SLC, I believe) and do ship some of their bikes within the US.

 @stevemokan: Yep, SLC

 iirc he said he will mainly ride the tyee, so maybe you should step up ypur game haha

 Very interested in that new tire as well! The graphics look great (more low key). I too am on the LG1 EN Mopo and considering they are a dual ply Double Down type tire the weight is pretty damn good. They weigh 50-60g less than Maxxis DD with the same sidewall protection. I find their rolling resistance is about the same as a DHR II and a good amount better than an Assegai, but maybe that's just my experience!

 @Marky771: You're probably right about the weight compared to Maxxis DHR. I haven't actually weighed mine, and comparing them to my previous tires, Michelin Wild Enduro (front & rear), which might not be a dual-ply :thinking:. Just what I've noticed, they feel heavier and a bit slower rolling to me than previous tires, and are a PITA to get on/off the rim, that bead is tough. I'm not complaining though, I'd buy the LG1 EN Mopo tires again when they're done, or the Grapplers

 so youre saying YouTubers sell bikes?

 @MikeyMT: but he truly shreds, so...

 I hope so too, but thats not going to happen for 2021 or 2022. They recently announced that they won't be able to meet the increased demand of their existing customer base. They won't be able to expand to more countries in the short term.

 A sponsorship move is an all package. The first thing that interested me with Propain was theirs bikes. They are super popular in medias, the few riders I know that had one were stoked, and I like the geometrie and suspension design. I wanted something new. I was getting bored and needed a change. I looked for brands that make bikes that I want to be riding, and brands that has a full line up. Propain had all that. Then it needs to make sence with my image and what I want to do. The contact with the brand has to flow as well. Some brands, it just does not work well, some it's a great fit. Once you know the bike and the brand fits you, I would be lying if I said the money did not matter, that being said I will not sign a contract if I did not like the bike and brand just because the money was good.

 @remymetailler: peut-être devriez-vous voir si Propain peut vous donner des cours de grammaire

 @brothermendiarys: sounds like you could use some french classes too.

 @remymetailler: *also

 You can order the bike through the US distrinbutor.

 Would be pretty odd if they were planning on keeping things this way... My bet is they're planning a bigger footprint in the PNW and NA in general. Gulevich confirmed Orbea intended on having more of a presence here after they signed him.

 @spendtimebehindbars: Is Orbea available anywhere besides SportChek?

 @whitebirdfeathers: they list 81 dealers in canada on their site. We have a Orbea dealer in PG.

 Cause when you do a 10h day filming, you need all the water you can get.

 @remymetailler: Did you shoot this last Thursday? I think we saw you in the Smoke Bluff lot at the end of the day. The bike colour caught my eye.

 @ShawMac: as Remy's accidental stalker, I can confirm that it was a different time of day and different area

 @wallheater: ahaha we had a done a good job to hide it though!

 @remymetailler: I didn't realize what was going on until I walked away, and then glanced over at the bike and laughed ha ha.

 Probably one rim, two rims if I'm unlucky. I have got no issue what so ever running carbon rims with low tire pressure and no insert. I have never ridden the alloy wheels though, I'm only talking about the carbon ones.

 e13 carbon are super good (with lifetime warranty), as are their Plus level aluminum. I have 2 heavy ripper buddies on the Plus alu for 2 years now with zero issues. I think their entry level OE rims (lower end aluminum and sleeved) weren't strong enough for some folks but saw they commented on another thread recently that those had been upgraded to be way stronger too...Have to wait and see on those I guess...A lot of rim companies make inferior entry level stuff. I've seen guys go through Stans S1 and entry level WTB rims super fast too, but they also make rad higher end rims.

 @remymetailler: yeah I dont understand people bashing carbon wheels, they are so good. If you ride them no insert and low air I'm sure food ol regular joe can ride them too.

 I’m a 200lb hack and have ridden the shit out of my TRSr race wheels (carbon) and have to say I’m impressed. They are a bit flexy in turns but are as true as day one. Given their light weight, I’d recommend for certain uses.

 @ybsurf @ryan83 @Marky771 glad to hear they have improved on their Carbon models! The alloy wheels are notorious for going to goo after one unfortunate bump

 @steflund: I was talking carbon wheel in general, I dont have e13 wheel I have we are one

 Yueah, Eh. How aboot that.

 @Dimdumb: hahaha we DO sound like that. But, you guys should hear how you sound to us! uuuuh huuuuh.

 @CircusMaximus: . Hahaha lol. We have some incredibly interesting accents not gonna lie.
