at 8: 38 I was so surprised seeing the leader on a Drop bar Mountain bike descending the trail like its paved road 🤣. Very Strong People Edit: There's Single Speed people at this race!
Dumbest rule ever, inner bar ends are awesome. If you run them with a narrower flatbar you can put them right up to the brake levers and have super easy and safe access to shifting/braking.
Great, now I want to put inboard grips on my XC setup. Only issue is in that position I’d likely still spin out on my 34t on the road. Wishing for a touch more gear range LOL!
My ultimate both road bike and gravel bike brand is Favaloro. The Favaloro Arch and the Favaloro Fire; they are both completely rare to find and only comes in a frameset. But then they are like the prize bike to have.
Now you need to come back for that big buckle. Watching your videos this year I really think all you need is more time at altitude. 5,000 ft. in Bolder is not quite enough altitude. Great job!
ok hear me out Endura has a threaded pressfit bracket the two cups thread into each other and not the frame, and hold together like that LIKE, WHY IS THIS NOT STANDARD??
I generally don't like point-of-view videos, but you do a great job due to the interesting narration. You provided a sense of what it is like to be in this race. I look forward to more of YOUR suffering in the future :)
*** 11:30 You said it "Not really a mountain bike race" That's what you get when promoters design the course and not racers. Somehow I'm glad I've missed it all these years.
Thank you very much for describing the symptoms from the beginning of the video! It was directrly my problem and now I can solve it by simply exchange that hanger.
You should be super proud of that result. Altitude sickness and you still made your goal. It is “steady, not slow” is absolutely the right strategy at such a high altitude.
Great video! Yeah if the race is longer than your long rides in training, you're best off just going as easy as you can because it will hurt really bad by the end. You don't know it, but you're going harder than you think because people around you make you try harder than you normally would. Very smart pacing!
