Nice too see simple bikes like these ones. I just converted an old steel bike from the 90’s to 48 38 28 triple instead of 52 42. With a 12 28 cassette its perfect for winter training and it has enough gear to climb anything here 😅
What a cool bike love the hub wow.. super cool.. never seen one of these hubs before just been reading about it what a great design, you should fit one on the new Garden City Ritchey frame 😉.. 😊😊❤ Pete 🚴🏻👍
I wonder if that seat post shock-absorber mechanism has any rebound effect when you are going uphill or does it have a lock-out? and maybe its so stiff that normal pedaling doesn't affect it, only harder hits. Definitely an upright riding position, the owner seems very happy with it. Nice review.
@@SuperOlds88 I rode the bike after this video was shot. I felt no bobbing. I purposely went through a few cement joints and a few cracks and it felt great. Thanks for watching!
It makes sense they are HQ'd there. We have a ton of framebuilers down this way those are the bikes we see more of. Thanks for watching please consider subscribing.
Just saw the specs of Campagnolo wireless … only. minus 10 degrees in the weather range - here in Berlin I rode bikes at minus 18 degrees - what are they thinking ? - And this nonsense goes on … compact cranksets and cassettes I never use - 2003 I bought an Orbea with 53/39 and 12to23 sprockets - now 50/34 12to32 sprockets on my Centaur VanRysel (EDR-AF) - three sprocket I never use - because it's not that hilly here …
I used those shoe covers to great success, I’ve torn a couple pairs but keep them on my bike for ultra rides as they keep your feet so watertight. I use the for something I call ‘rain weapon mode’
Love hybrids, that what I have been using for over 10 years. I even do 80 milers now and again on her not just a commuter. I prefer flat bars and the upright riding position although I know it makes you slower, who cares I'm never doing any races.
In the early 90’d Bianchi had several 700c steel lugged frame hybred bikes that were great. And their project bikes were basically early 700(29) inch mtb’s with tires in the mid 40 mm’s.
My commuter was a hybrid but when I converted/upgraded to a gravel I went with drop bars. Flats are much more comfy around town, but a bit awkward for hill climbing I found
I love to hear reviews of bikes that had triples and the components were designed to be taken apart or opened up and maintained. Funny how some people find shifting a bike with more than one ring so difficult. If you can't learn that skill maybe they should be riding an E-bike which is what a lot of them are doing. Keep these kind of reviews coming, thank you.
“A triple gives you more range”. Eh… not really. It just gives you more speed within the same comparable range as a good 1x drivetrain with 520% range and making it more complicated for new riders. 3x are long dead and can now only be found on touring bikes where the incremental gear changes actually matter. Heck, even Walmart ditched the 3x drivetrain on their bikes so you know it’s dead. 😂
I always lusted after a Jamis Dragon hardtail mtb frame. Never got one. Around 2009 I built up a Jamis Super Nova cyclocross frame for my commuter. Reynolds 853 steel, a Shimano 8-speed internal gear hub, Pletcher rack.
My issue with many of the hybrids today is that they come with heavy and low quality front suspension. I think they would be better off with a rigid fork, throw maybe a 38mm or 40mm tire on there. Curious to hear others thoughts
@@reactionsok I would agree most people don’t “need” solar but man is it nice. Doing super long events 40+ or 80+ hours) without ever having to charge is a huge benefit. Now instead of wasting that charging capability on my cycling computer I can keep my phone charged and/or my lights. I’m very happy with the 1040 Solar screen I’m not sure what people complain about.
A good compromise is using a butyl tube with a removable valve core. I just put a little bit of sealant inside the tube. Not as much as a pure tubeless setup though.
@@deanpurcell7771 I disagree it’s over kill! I’ve said many times the point of this blinky is so that you don’t use your primary headlights as blinkies! And please don’t tell me you think the varia radar is a Gamechanger 😆 😂
Dura Ace 11 speed shifters mechanical do not exist anymore, probably all other parts soon to follow. Finally found Ultegra and bought 2 since these will be next. Shimano didn’t make any during Covid boom and hasn’t 9:28 since. My DA shifter totally broke, and is unrepairable. Shimano wants to upsell electric and disc for more profit. Think I’ll go back to Campy!
I'm sure you just saved me a boatload of $ as I was about to take bike in to my dishonest bike shop with this problem and I'm sure he would have said I need to replace my shifter. A little lube and it works fine....thanks
@@fatpatridesagain You’re Welcome ! I wouldn’t say bike shops are dishonest just not well informed. By the way it would be a struggle to find a 7800 shifter these days. But even if you found a cheap on eBay the labor to replace with new cables and housing would have still made this an unnecessary expense repair! Please like, share and consider subscribing.
The primary reason for the introduction of disc brakes was to make carbon fiber rims viable. The primary downside of disc brakes is that the greater leverage afforded by rim brakes is lost.
Indeed! I often tell people that when the pro Peleton wanted to ride lighter wheels they went to carbon. But the braking was terrible in the dry and dangerous in the wet. They in all weather so... they had to go to disc brakes to get better braking in the rain AND to keep their aero dynamic wheels. Because let's face it the carbon wheels as a system (heavier sturdier hubs and 160-200g of rotors) aren't light anymore now the benefit of carbon wheels is the aerodynamic shapes.

I use Moon Mx model light, that also has garmin mount for ur bike computer. It can be used as flashing light(34 hours in flash mode 100 lumen)and can also be used as main light. Can be charged while in use. I have Moon Rigel pro as main light.
as an alternative. ive anyone has an out-in-front computer mount with the attachment to hang a gopro camera underneath. I can recommend the Moon Rigel. There are like 4 or 5 different models. If all you need is a light for flashing duties then you can grab the Lite version which is fairly cheap and often on sale. Depending on which flash mode you use. It can last upto 46 hours. or 13.5hrs in _'steady flash'_ mode just in case you forgot to charge your main light and it runs out of juice mid ride. its not going to completely light up an unlit country road but its better than nothing at all. The Pro or the max model will give you significantly more run time if you need just one light for a steady flash mode. So there is something for every type of rider however you choose to slice it.
@@SeeYouUpTheRoad If youre an MTB'rider - You can also pick up the Enduro version which is great as an all in one standalone unit (steady flash all day every day) but getting the most out of it with all the different power customisation settings is overly complicated and the LED indication system Moon have is like trying to read a upside down map when youre completely drunk and the map is speaking Polish. Its hard to make sense of.
I would have the customer contact RAD support about that. Their support is really good. Haven't seen this issue personally, but we did have a flat fix where we found a hole in the rim. Rad replaced the entire bike. I will be watching out for this, and mention this to our other techs.
Possibly incorrect tire pressure, maybe running them too low? Seems like if they were mushy that might add to those "ribs" rubbing on the tubes excessively, just a thought.
Maybe you could share some light on how the rear derailleur di2 cable can be routed on this frame? It should be semi-wireless di2 ready, there is a port for front mech visible in this material, how about the rear?
Thanks, George, for another great bike reveal vid. This one has a perfect timing to me because, up until this vid, I was torn between Minimoto V brakes and Avid Shorty Ultimates Cantis but you’ve proven to me that Minimotos are the way to go. I use those exact same rims and to see how they hold those tyres is good as well. So you never know who you’re gonna reach with these videos you do. Cheers
@@SeeYouUpTheRoad will do mate. That’s a god idea. I’ll be running Tufo Gravel Thundero 44mm tires in them too. So should show max tire clearance as well. Cheers
I have a Son generator hub that runs my Edelux headlight and Compass taillight. If I was going overnight rides these days I’d have the adapter for phone charging. I leave the lights on daytime too for the additional visibility. I don’t notice the drag although it’s said to be couple watts. I also go for comfort with 650b wheels and 42 mm tires.
@@SeeYouUpTheRoad I have never tried turning the light on and off during a ride to find out if I can feel it. The set up is great for it’s function and reliability without the battery weight or having to remember to charge and bring your light.
