Chris Has An Absolute Meltdown Over His Broken Bike 

i like how Connor says don't donate if you can't afford it

His rant was actually hilarious and totally justified. Still affable in my book. Everybody has moments like these now and then when things are stressful.

not so affable anymore

04:42 Pretty much why I love "standard" stuff Easily customizable and replaceable unlike proprietary ones

Note to self: Don't buy Cervelo bikes

nothing like angry energy to get that boost at the start

I don’t like how you guys breezed over the notch’s on Chris’s bike joke…. That was comedy gold 😂

Chris's bike has deep dish rims. That bike is a racing bike which puts you in a very uncomfortable position in place of being aerodynamic. I would recommend a gravel or touring bike instead with a proper individualized set up. That way the fit and components are set the way the rider likes it. And yes, I am a bike mechanic.

I'm on Chris' side. Proprietary crap

More of a rant, not a meltdown. He wasn't truly angry here, he just ranting and making content, though he's not wrong, i fully agree with him. I always try to buy products that have universal parts, it's one of my biggest things i think about whenever i buy anything that may require maintenance in future. But it's not an "absolute meltdown". Funny thing is he didn't learn from it, later on he continues to over tighten the brackets like crazy and risk stripping the replacements too, everyone telling him he's not allowed to touch it himself anymore. I had a uncle like him who thought you tighten everything to the maximum you can and ruin things all the time by over tighten, some people don't understand that there is a point of tightened enough and any further actually does more damage and doesn't help anything.

😒

Chris's stem is also set in a race/ more aggressive position. You can flip the stem over in and it will put him in a slightly more upright position. Rotating the handle bars a little might help as well. Small adjustments make big differences in rider comfort.

run a larger round clamp, pack out the flat side with something, cloth, leather. It'll hold.

Considering how much beating its gotten over just a year (my rough estimate is roughly 700+ KM, rain, heat, wind, sea, mud) over the course of 3 cyclathons, its amazing. Its been through hell and is only asking for basic maintenance.

Ian always on fleek ngl

Connar finally isn't the one breaking everything

at least Chris doesnt have a carbon frame bike. the seat post clamp on those comes in all sorts of shape. and yeah i hate proprietary hardware

If the bike is carbon always use a torque wrench.

Cervelos are amazing bikes.

1:05 Yeah I felt obligated to donate at least a bit but my -£1000 on the account and a month behind on rent made me realise I probably need the money for myself right now (>_

Oh dear, Chris was not a happy bunny 🐇🤬😤😭🚴‍♀️ I hope that the bike 🚲 gets fixed soon ❤

I think there's a Y's Road Shop in Osaka that might have the parts, but then again.. f*ck proprietary bike parts 😑

Never heard Chris use the C word so much 😂😂 the things anger and annoyance will do to you is comical. Granted I would've been right their with him f'ing and blinding everywhere.b

He's not livid, he's just British. Most of us are the same

its a sounded rage. They trying to make their own proprietary shit which is dumb

0:30 cdawg reads my chat 😂

Roadbikes are the BMW's of bicycles - you buy a brand, social status, very expensive parts and repairs. (ofcourse enthusiasts tell you to buy those - they're enthusiasts :D)

someone tell them that they just need to replace the bolt

You guys live in japan. Which is filled with amazing NJS frame builders in every prefecture who will build you a custom fitted frame, to your required specifications, and with any groupset and parts you desire. But, you choose to buy mass produced branded carbon bikes, whose frames are all manufactured in Shenzen across the border from Hong Kong. Which then fail because it cannot handle the real journeys you put them through. Buy local. Buy Japanese next time.

Bizarre that Paul said his height in centimetres!

I dunno why they punish themselves on road bikes and not using more comfortable Commuter bikes, sure the road bike is faster and more efficient, but a commuter or a hybrid bike would be so much more comfortable and if you get the right brand, easily repairable.

Yeah Chris definitely needs to lose some pounds there, look at his bike now

Nice 🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️
