Specialized P1 2008

[MrSmurfTV]

take the front brake of obviously :/

[Biscuitto]

@kellenj531

Oh, my bad. I was under the impression that people who work for big companies like Specialized can construct sentences with proper grammar and spelling and were born before 2002.

[Biscuitto]

@kellenj531

Wow, thanks for bringing up a comment I posted over a year ago. I've clearly been told by more helpful members of YouTube that DJ stands for dirt jump already, as well as the other stuff, I know a lot more about bikes than I did previously, and I now probably know more about bikes now than you do. So, go fuck yourself.

[nickshea1250]

to bad its not a giant

[wolffirepaladin5]

nice except from forks

[nickshea1250]

how r the forks on that bike

[ducky25043]

[peterz193]

2008/9 are best looking p1's I reckon

[carlj817]

lefty break.

[gmanpeterson381]

take the derailer off its a piece and if you hit big jumps the derailer will skip and lock up trust me its happened

[greg4all3]

its single speed, its not going to lock up lol

[mr5050fez]

i have 1 the bb is shit n brakes n the wheels are so shite

[pinkcuriousgeorge]

when do u get round to riding it????

[ItsDanCog]

nice

[ItsDanCog]

are you getting a new hub or just a single speed kit?

[ItsDanCog]

buy a single speed kit. that would be the best solution. or you could be ghetto and just take off the derailur and take a bunch of links out of the chain, and keep using the casette, but that would look ghetto and single speed kits are like $15 anyways

[oooMTBMTBooo]

@ItsDanCog it is a single speed i have the 2010

[ItsDanCog]

@oooMTBMTBooo

...i was asking washable table if he was getting a new hub or a single speed kit for his 2009 p2 cro-mo. the 2009 p2 cro-mo comes with gears, and he wanted to single speed it.

[oooMTBMTBooo]

ya he just needs the kit lol

[samrees2k9]

nice man im might get one

[perryandmorgan]

my dream bike =)

[7LazyCrazyBoyz]

i have that bike

[jSPsTREETkILLAH]

i wanted the p1 but ended up buying a hardrock sport .... but its all good ive conveted it to single speed and put marzoci bombers 130mm on .. halo rims .. and maxxi tiers lookin all good atm

[dirtandstreet1]

dj-dirt jumper!!!!!

[greg4all3]

wow, your clever.

[cliffhucker13]

its( you're) stupid

[gotnobrain22]

dj is dirt jumper

[Biscuitto]

Cheers, I feel stupid when I don't understand the Initials. I didn't know that DH stood for downhill either =[

[greg4all3]

omg, ok the whole point is so the rear deraliure is not bouncing about and breaking while jumping =P

[Biscuitto]

thanks I think i meant i don't see the point because I wouldn't just use it as a DJ bike i would use it like everyday and for downhill too probly

[monkeymen111]

@greg4all3 dude you should take your front brake off unless you do street ae

[MegaD96]

on this bike there are no gears from the start -.-''

[Biscuitto]

I didn't understand there were 2 different P1s when I said that.

[MegaD96]

ok...sorry :p

[danward5]

its called a single speed , for street riding/dirt jumping

[ItsDanCog]

no one keeps the gears because you'll smash off the derailur constantly if you ride street, especially if you do drive side pedal grinds. the breaks obstuct you from doing multiple bar spins and/or tail whips. taking off the gears and breaks also makes your bike lighter. also you are likley to bend your rotors wile riding street.

[ivanmatearajkov]

@Biscuitto dj is dirt jumping nd people take off brakes to become more fluent nd smooth anywhere cos dey cant stop before a jump if deyre scared so dey hav to it makes u push de limit

[MrHimtome]

@Biscuitto Dj stands 4 dirt jumper =P

[Biscuitto]

@MrHimtome

Haha yeah I know, I posted that comment nearly 2 years ago lol

But thanks anyway dude

[SeaULighter]

2009 is better than 2008

[kopaszQ]

i'm getting a 09 model on thursday

[Abrohenke96]

I like more P1 2009:P but that are a nice dirt you have!

[rckid2200kv]

wut is the difference between the p1 and the p2

[shibdiby]

it mainly comes down to parts used in the building of it. Sometimes the frames have different angles as well,

[ItsDanCog]

the p1 is single speed and the p2 cr-mo uses the same frame but it has gears. the p2 comes in aluminum or cromoly.

[mauzi4ever]

Ihhh total hässlich

[Twist3dRav3r]

i got a specialized p2 cromo in white lookin 2 get halo wheelsets probz go 24 run just a back brake n cut the bars dwn n wana get a smaller crankset 2 go wid the single speed im running ur bike looks gr8 bud nice 1

[ItsDanCog]

isnt the bb height a little low for 24's?

[scottryabam]

i have the 09 p2 its great but u might have some problems with the cranks

[EspCoke]

[greestyboi]

[RAZovNH]

i have a 2oo8 p2 standerd with a couple of scratches and it cost me £20 and it drives so nice : )

[Biscuitto]

i hope you meant £200 at the least

[RAZovNH]

no i meant £20 not £200 it needed crank bearings but they was only £13 :)

[Biscuitto]

I hope it was stolen or something if it's that stupid a price, you ripped the seller

[Morvex14]

man>!!!! i love that fork! xD

[CoatesyInc]

i have one of these but it is custum built with £ 300 rims so this bike is ok but you need more parts on it

[velo50]

[dirtjump202]

NICE BIKE IM GETING THE SAME 1

[dieselsolo]

mate if ur gonna film a bike, film a decent one......!

[greg4all3]

you clearly dont know much about bikes then, ow well. go read all the comments on this video, theres only one person who agrees with you, MBUK gave this bike a 10/10 so, seems to be a good bike, everyone thinks its good, so, fine, welcome to the real world lol

[TheWaterPoloBeast]

i agree with dieselsolo. this bike sucks....get a good one..specialized is way overpriced when you an get a better bike with better components on it. I

[jeepers125]

dose it have DJ forks or boomer like the paint job

[greg4all3]

all djs have boomer written on them you fecking noob, go learn about bikes before you comment on a video,

[jeepers125]

were did you get that

[greg4all3]

i got it after a bad crash with a car at 47mph, it was from the insurance, but any good bike shop will sell it, well, not anymore this is the 2008 version, but the 2009 one can be bought at most good bike shops.

[CheesePenguin97]

Your bike is too clean!

LOL

Respect for bothering to clean it ;)

[kupostrike1]

;d masz bombera ;p ja tez mam tylko ze 100mm skoku :)

[owen33kx652007]

new backwheel, decent length bars, good brake(rear, lose the front), tyres, new pedals, then it can be called a decent bike, hate if you like but when you do variation in your riding, this is what is needed to get the a nice ride.

[niksa080]

whats the difference with the p1 2009?

[greg4all3]

not much really, just the color and, umm, ye i think the rims are slightly better.

[velo50]

Yeah the wheels mainly. Does teh wheels on your bike make that nice clicking sound?

[greg4all3]

they used to, but all bike that make the noise, eventually they loose it, the springs in the hubs bend down, and don't click as much after time.

[velo50]

Hmm fair enough. Cause im getting p1 09 in 2 weeks so just thought better wheels may = better quality

[greg4all3]

oh no, don't get me wrong, the tires are amazing, even if you pay £1000 for rims, they will still eventually loose the click.

[velo50]

Yeah true i spent quite alot for my bmx rims they went after a while.

[Sp3cilized]

Hi There Velo50,

Reading Your Comments It Seems That You Like The Clicking Sound, It Is The Bearings Which Make This So Look Into Them. Normally, The More The Bike Clicks, The Better The Bike, My 2009 P1 Is Clicking Nicely And I've Had It For Over 3 Month's Now. Is Your's The "Sunburnt Orange" Edition. (Orange And Brown With A Bronze Sprocket).

[velo50]

Hey thanks for reply. Yeah Its the "Sunburnt Orange" Thanks for the info !

[niksa080]

is it easy for a wheelie?

[greg4all3]

its really good for wheelies, lifts up really easy, =)

[MrUnexplainable]

hopefully this saturday ill be getting a P1 from evanscycles in london for 390 quid :P:P

[greg4all3]

thats a good price, hope you enjoy it =D

[MrUnexplainable]

hope i do!

they better still be in stock :/

oh well there is 3 shops the same right near each other lol

[DuDe1040]

fuck you man you will get your so cheap..man you are lucky..enjoy the bikes

[MrUnexplainable]

turns out i aint getting it now. i decided ill be doing more jumping than trials so im going for kona shred :P 500 quid

[mop4365]

@MrUnexplainable my brother got his bike from there

[N3ARMISS]

hi have just orderd one are thay hevy

[greg4all3]

there not the lightest bike but the extra weight makes it feel so safe and secure. there perfect =)

[Ixridexaxbmx]

bmx is like 10000000000x better

[greg4all3]

well, bmx is better for some things, street tricks, and park riding, but for dirt jumping, its kinda really in the name, a jump bike is best.

[jaffacake4life]

i bet you get a shit load of mud up ur back

[peanutrat3]

nice bike dude how much

[greg4all3]

when i bought it it was £500. now, probably much less.

[peanutrat3]

ok thanks

[nzleeman]

Hahaha i have that bike. Now all you gotta do is change the wheels and bb before they crap out on you. seriously tho those wheels that come stock on it and so so crap

[SlipknoTKoRnRules]

nice , ive just gettin a p1 frame its my 1st jump bike cos i ride DH

[carfreak35041]

How much does the 08 p.1 weigh?

[greg4all3]

I'd say it weighs about...... 10kg? maybe 13kg?

[shibdiby]

is it just me or are the break levers on the wrong sides?

[greg4all3]

its just you, the front breaks are going through the steerer tube and the back breaks down the frame. fronts on the right, backs on the left. =P

[shibdiby]

wow, im a tool, I just looked at my bike and realized I switched the levers because it felt weird xD my bad. good choice in bikes though =] thats what Im riding

[luciferlue]

I have a ? for you guys and I would appreciate if I get an answer.

Whats the air presure of the tire supposed to be? Thanks dudes

[greg4all3]

if your talking about the pressure for the stock tires on a p1, its should be around 60psi.

[timemaster98]

Nice ;)

[timemaster98]

Does It have Marazzochi shocks???

[greg4all3]

yep, its the DJ 3's

[kingsanchez2324]

hey, seems like a bunch of haters on here, I have a Demo 8 for downhill, Gary Fisher for XC and I'm getting a P1 soon, nice bike, no matter what you do on it

[greg4all3]

thanks man =D

[pimmelbattler]

what bring you the best bike wehn you cant jump

[greg4all3]

cold hard cash did. its a bit like saying why did that guy get a porsche if he's not going to race. BECAUSE HE LIKED IT!

[jb123bx]

could you make a video of u jumping it plz

[greg4all3]

lol i don't really jump much i just liked the bike, my friends jump and i film them, so =P

[ogio6766]

i have a specilized P.2 and i got it single speeded + i got all kinds of new parts

[xlacks111]

get better pedals (metal with teeth)

[greg4all3]

the pedals are metal, and the PINS, there not called teeth, the PINS, are really good. these pedals are fine for dirt jumping.

[snowpimpin]

take off ur front brake and make it a single gear

[greg4all3]

it is single gear, and the reason i want my front break is because i like to be able to stop when I'm going down a hill.

[Jspiderjr]

gr8 bike for jumping very solid and light

[ryan1358]

mine got robbed (N)

[greg4all3]

hard luck man, thats a bit of a bummer. its such a sweet bike that people just want one, no matter what they have to do to get it.

[nickynickynye]

yeah how much does this bike weigh?

[greg4all3]

id say about 6-7kg

[liam1992433]

how much does this bike weigh?

[greg4all3]

about 6-7kg

[ssllgg11]

should i get the p1 or p2?

i need it for getting around from place to place and for ripping up park and urban stuff

im a beginner so it needs to be able to take the abuse of learning

[greg4all3]

well, better parts on p1 except tires. better tires on the p2 but worse parts. i would recommend the 2009 p1. that is perfect for a beginner bike with a beginner price. plus is will be good enough to follow you into your more professional riding. as as long as you don't mind the single speed its great for getting around. let me know what you choose!

[ssllgg11]

are the bikes really that different?

I was looking last night on specialized. come and comparing the 08 p1, 08 p2 cromo, 09 p1, and 09 p2 cromo and the only differences that i found were that the p1s dont have rear derailleurs

so if you had the money for either of the 4 bikes, which one would you o for and just give a few reasons why (dont waste your time writing an essay like i did here)

keep in mind that this will be my everything bike, from campus riding at university to park and urban

[greg4all3]

well, as i have the 08 P1 i would have to say get my bike. ive been using for getting to school and around town. aswell as street and park. and dirt jumping. so i would say its fine. i recommend that.

[AzerMate]

How much and where from?

[greg4all3]

well where do you live? i mean i live in england and i got mine for £500 and most good bike shops will have one. although, it might be a good idea to have a look at the 2009 version. although to be honest its the same lol, just a different design. but ye, tell me where about the world you are and ill see if i can find a place that sells them.

[Superbiz2]

Awesome bike and great value. How are the brakes on this, and do you think getting a 7 gear cassette is a good idea instead of single speed?

[greg4all3]

well, the breaks are awesome, (as long as you keep them clean!) but no, putting a 7 speed on will not make it better. you can if you want to do downhill, but, if you were ding downhill you would have a different bike. if your worried about using single speed, don't, you get used to it.

[Superbiz2]

Well yeah, with me, I usually switch between 3 sprockets, so I use Speed 5, 10, and 15, but I'll stay on 15 alot, but I prefer having a geared bike, so I'm checking out the 09 P2. Also, I'm gonna do some racing along with dirt jumping, and race bikes are pointless for me.

[greg4all3]

the thing is, with a geared bike, when your dirt jumping it all rattles around and it can damage the gear system. plus the chain comes off all the time. i mean for racing ok, you might need gears but, it can go quite fast without gears. i mean the single spead on it, works out at, maybe gear 8 or 9. so your only 6 under 15. you can still go fast. i dunno man. its up to you, its hard to find a bike thats good for racing and jumping. if you want to jump get a p1.

[greg4all3]

(continuing the first comment) if you want to race. a cheap bike is a g2 agressor. i had one for a while and it was a dream. lovely bike. or just get some cheap all mountain bike. there good for racing, sturdy, geared, fast and full sus.

[greg4all3]

and if you need anything else then just reply to a comment of mine and ask away!

[Superbiz2]

Great, thanks alot.

[YamahasRAwesome]

Did you get the 09 p2? i'm looking at it, looks sick, the only thing thats keeping me from getting it is that its forks only have 80mm, i want 100 >:(

[Superbiz2]

It doesn't make that much of a difference for me. The fork is super nice.

[Superbiz2]

You would definitely need new brakes though, the Juicy 3s are terrible.

[cooldoggjake]

How Do you like the gearing as from the factory

[greg4all3]

ye i mean i said this to another guy that asked this, i have not changed a single thing on my bike and its perfect, the only thing is, if your gonna be riding ruff then you might want some better rims.

[CheifBangLikeTurkey]

tell me how good this is for dirt jumping as well as street please.

[greg4all3]

well, for dirt jumping it is perfect, maybe a change of rims but it is really good as it is, i mean I've been using it stock and its fine. for street, its a little heavy for street but it still works fine. you just need to be a bit stronger lol

[bomchickawahwahmatt]

hey dude have this bike love it =] what sorta biking u do ? the only downside of it is the cranks have u had a prob with them yet if so how'd u fix them ty please reply

[greg4all3]

i haven't broken them. there fine. its an awesome bike though. best thing to do is just buy some good dmr cranks.

[wutaday1029]

sweet bike dude! Im saving up money this summer to get one of the 2009 P3's... it looks amazing with the green rims and stuff... pretty much just a P1 with a lighter frame and a few upgraded components... and the rims don't bend as much haha.

being a poor college student blows...

[Superbiz2]

Yeah the P3 is an insane bike. Poor High school student over here lol.

[ilovekd44]

hey did you put the brake cable through the headset or did itcome like that

[greg4all3]

ye i put it like that, its so easy to do though =)

[dunno199]

hows it doing? i heard people's wheels were bending and stuff. is your holding out good, might be getting one :P

[greg4all3]

ye its fine, i havn't had any problems with it. its an awesome bike, well worth it =)

[dunno199]

thanks, hey i was wondering what the 1 gear thing is like? i know it'd be good for street and jumps but you reckon it could go downhill? like on a mtb track, thanks

[greg4all3]

ye you could it just, well its not really the best for doing downhill, you really need a mtb bike for that.

[ombyes1234]

i wouldnt reccomend riding with these tyres in the snow! my mate did and he died.

[Motocross4lifeee]

go and put the front of the seat higher without it doesn't look cool ;), cool bike otherwise

[rickdafrog]

The bike I should have bought :(

I've got a Specialized Hard Rock Sport but I do mostly dirt jumping (not very well I might add) and the chain flaps away everytime I land. The bike feels a bit heavy. It's a great bike and it sure can take the abuse, but I should have gone for a straight dirt bike like the P1. It will be my next purchase for sure.

[greg4all3]

ye for dirt jumping the hard rock is not really the ideal frame or gear set up. the p1 is awesome and can handle all the abuse an all terrain mountain bike can.

[WatWarrior22]

What song is this mate

[greg4all3]

something by 30 seconds to mars, beautiful lie.
