From Brighton, Sussex posting cycling videos on my gravel and mountain bike. Here you'll find vlogs on my cycling travel adventures, do bike related reviews & ‘How to’ vids.
Great comparison. I used this camera for several of my cycling youtube uploads and one of those videos has 240 views and nothing is edited so imagine if you added a little editing you can easily use this camera for creating content. I recently upgraded to the wolfang ga420 so my last two videos are with that camera but I'll keep the ga100 as a secondary.
I have a specialized diverge gravel bike with 43mm panaracer gravel Kings, also have upgraded the wheels to hunt 4 seasons wheels as the stock wheels were tish and I have to say it's probably the fastest bike I've ever owned! I tend to stick to the roads mainly as I have arthritis in my shoulders. I did a 30 mile cycle ride last weekend and hardly broke sweat. I'd say keep going it's definitely worth it.
Not sure how I came across this video but I’ve been pondering the same question. Just got into cycling and went for a road bike but put 35mm gravel tyres on just be more comfortable as I’m only commuting on it at the moment. Had a look at my local bike club but wasn’t sure about going given the tyres…pretty sure I’ll give it a go after seeing this.
Looks amazing down on the south downs way. Got a lot of clay round these parts so takes a while to dry out. Search Mary towneley loop for a view of some of local rides round my way.
If you gat the wolfang on the waterproof case, you will no record audio that is the reason the you get an extra cover the is no waterproof like that you can recording audio with the waterproof case on it
Asking for a bit of advice. I have a MTB and wishing to travel further so toying between a drop handle Boardman ADV 8.9 like your old bike or a flat bar Boardman hyb8.8, do you think drops are worth it, I am a bit worried as it's been nearly 30years since I have ridden drops. I did have a flat bar Boardman hybrid comp 10years ago and enjoyed the freedom of gave over a heavier hardtail MTB.
@@markwoods6342 I find the drops fine, you can always ride on the hoods if worried about holding that riding position. I certainly alternate between the two.
@@themuddycyclist TY! I am also going to experiment with using my bike....I am hoping to do the tour divide in 2025...and a lot of "camping" spots can be in the open ...so will need to get creative. Thx for the review and the answer to my question
I just got the instinct 2 tactical solar for 1 dollar had to buy a charger for it but it works perfect may take the place of my Apple watch for my cycling watch
Put a dropper post on my Trek calibre, great for steep descents, you can get your arse further back for more control, also handy for steep starts, gets the saddle out the way and pop it up once you get going.
@@themuddycyclist I've just bought a Scott Scale that came with a dropper post. Cant stand it, too much messing about. I've never needed one before so the carbon post is going in to replace it.
Hurrah a new bike 💪😅. Nice lookin bike , i like hardtails , that rear suspension bit looks like a possible winner. After a scan of modern hardtails , not much choice out there i think ,but i like the treks with the extra bottle holders and pannier friendly frames . I have my eye on the new 2024 trek procaliber 8 with 120mm fork aluminium frame . I am 5ft 10 and a half😅 will prob get a large size though the size huide often says m/l
Im looking at getting one of these now. Im an avid mountain biker, but looking for a daily commuter and something to do training rides first thing in the morning, when im not in the mood to get all kitted up and caked in mud. Im also on the cusp between sizes L and XL at 6”2’. Thinking of going XL but anyone have and recommendations? No shops near me have either size in stock to try out
@@themuddycyclist i wish I could, the nearest place with either the L or XL in stock is about 3.5 hour drive away. Im hoping someone may be in a similar situation that’s had the opportunity to try and can give me some advice
Glad you liked Wicklow. Next time you're around drip me a note and I can give you some pointers on some fantastic local track systems. Ones with or without a hike-a-bike 😁
Not just Cliffe but Cliffe and bourough are combined the oldest bonfire society Heathfield, Rotherfield, roberstbrige, newick, buxted, uckfield,Cliffe,bourough, nevill, Newhaven, Eastbourne, Hastings, hailsham, commercial Square, South Street, Waterloo, southover ,barcome, battel, bexhill, burgess hill, Chailey, chilling fold crowborough and 45 more bonfire societys. The reason why it hasn't been banned because its over a 100 year celebration and in the rules if a celebration is over 100 years that event can't get banned even though it's dangerous that doesn't stop anything. Cliffe is the one you have to watch out for as they were throwing bangers at my society at the children. it's not offensive because all these political leaders have impacted our country or another country badly so its pay back and if we can get rid of them then just bully them. Thanks
This was done 4 years ago so you can check back on my Strava (link is in my recent vids) to find the exact route but I started in Upper Halling and made my way along the Pilgrims Way & up onto the North Downs and back into Halling.
