The Chromag Stylus is a RAD all mountain, aggressive hardtail mountain bike. In the last episode of the hardtail vlog, I went through the parts that I thought would be a good fit for the build. In this episode, I convert the Stylus over to a fully geared 1×12 set up, and head out to ride some of my favorite hardtail trails in the area!
PSST: The latest installment of the Kendall V Kendall podcast by Jenson USA is out! In this one, Seth and I talk about hardtails and single speeds. Listen now!
