The four-day Sea Otter Classic bike festival near Monterey, California claims that more than 900 brands are represented in its massive expo. I spent a day wandering the booths big and small, and here are the highlights for all things drop-bar.

Fantastic walk through the expo, Ben. Thanks.

My pleasure, CD.

Appreciate your coverage, for the content and your chill style. About 5 years ago, I was with a fast paceline going up the shoulder towards Sea Otter. Right about where you were, right side car door is thrown open like 10’ in front of the first rider. Mass chaos & no one went down. Memorable moment.

@TheRidewithBenDelaney Год назад

Cheers, Ron. I remember something similar from the Otter fondo a couple years back. The road could definitely benefit from a bike lane in the uphill direction. Granted, virtually every driver headed up there during Sea Otter is a cyclist so they're paying attention, but still, extra room helps.

Ben this was outstanding, thanks so much, tons of info on a lot of shizzle. If you do Crusher, let's chat!

@TheRidewithBenDelaney Год назад

You’re welcome. As a VAM-challenged rider, I am philosophically opposed to hillclimbs like the Crusher. 🤪 Seriously though, I do need to get out there one of these years; heads nothing but good thing about what Burke and team have built.

@2UpDuc Год назад

Great coverage. Is it just me or has the amount of gravel bikes at Sea Otter exploded and pushed out MTB displays? I remember years ago that Sea Otter mainly focused on MTB and gear for MTB. Now it seams that hardly any MTBs are there compares to years before.

@TheRidewithBenDelaney Год назад

Thanks. No, there was still a ton of mountain bikes, both on display and in events. That is the main thrust of the event these days. Since my channel focuses on dropbar bikes I just covered the road and gravel stuff.

@gerryl8310 Год назад

Ben any chance you can get a Bridge to ride/test? On paper seems like a quiver killer to me. Already been on their website. Got my interest.

@TheRidewithBenDelaney Год назад

Yes, already in the works. At a minimum, will get a test bike at home. Best case scenario is also get up to Toronto to check out their manufacturing, too.

Great video * All carbon fibre is recyclable

@Steinebewegenmitmusi Год назад

True, but it's difficult and no one use recyceled carbon until now. According to estimates, 20 tons of CO2 are emitted in the production of one ton of carbon. Magnesium is the better material

@jamessheard5498 Год назад

@@Steinebewegenmitmusi No it’s not if you’ve the right machinery. Car manufacturers have been using recycled carbon for years. It’s just another bullshit story in the bike industry that you can’t recycle carbon

@@jamessheard5498 The problem with disposal and recycling is primarily caused by the composite materials, such as carbon fiber reinforced concrete or sandwich panels made of two layers of metal with a layer of carbon in the middle

E-bikes rip, they’re the most fun I’ve had on a bike since high school. And I get to ride with my son before he’s able to shred on his own.

@LVQ-so5th Год назад

They are if you consider motorcycles to be cycling. Had a few pass me in a timed-event that I trained a year for. That's frustrating.

@aztecrider 3 месяца назад

In California (which is where this event takes place) Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 electric bicycles are not considered motorcycles. So in short, you are wrong @@LVQ-so5th
