wait a second....should we actually read the slogan as "Not necessarily special(ized) but certainly strong"?? given the similarity between the Aethos and the Sothea in geometry and weight 🙃
That incolor bike looks nice, really similar to the current SuperSix but nice anyway, also good to know about the wind tunnel, that’s going to be a game changer
That new Sava road frame with integrated unique handlebar. Any idea if it is available this year? Price and weight? Looks so smooooth with the bars, much better than Cervelo and Bianchi. Although looks kinda scary and risky tbh
Difficult to see from that angle just how close it is, but it looks very similar to a mold Yishun/ LC have had for a while and have been selling to lots of brands.
Thank you Joe! Actually at Bigrock you missed the 2 mtb frames when you talk the gravel one. To the left there was a mtb hardtail a nice looking one and then a mtb fully that could be very very nice if you look at it.. Maybe some info? Or we just go to the website... :- )))
Nice bikes/products, thanks for sharing! I understand that the Latin alphabet is the most used writing in the world but am still surprised that there are no frames with Chinese writing(simplified/traditional). Looking forward to the interviews :-).
Those foam inserts are idiotic. This is a solution for a problem that should not exist, but was created on purpose - hookless rims. All the more those inserts are subject to replacement after ~1000-1500 km. I hope this stupid standard will die out and the industry will stick to crotched rims.
That titanium bike frame is lovely. It’s pretty obvious where all the best value bikes are coming from. Big brands losing serious market share once the local China market can be fed.
I’ve got the Santic Vast road shoes and they’re decent entry level shoes for the price. Great work Joe, this is the type of bike content we all need to see 🙏
Really cool to see these brands delivering good product and get aero testing! I’d love to see some brand make an aero crankset like the one vision makes. Hopefully someone comes out with something soon!
Not sure what to make of SAVA. They say they will sell the frameset. When you contact them they will only sell the frameset if you already own the bike. WTF?🤡
Hey Joe great content as usual. Going to chime in on the TPU Ride Now Tubes great product however the repair patches not so great. Got back from Majorca last week got 3 punctures from same tyre smallest slither of glass hiding in my Maxxxis Hyper SL tyre. Repaired all three tubes but the patches did not hold once inflated they just peel off so had to bin them. Purchasing more but will be using as single use if get puncture. If that’s something that could get fed back to Ridenow maybe appreciate your super busy.
So, my experience: The patches have gotten me out of trouble twice. Both times it was the only thing I had left and had been in my saddle bag for months and the alcohol wipe was all dried out so no way to really clean the tube. They got me home, but about 48hrs later seemingly came unstuck. Not sure if related to the lack of cleaning or thats their limit...
why did no one create a a GPS track device to track your bike properly my 5k bike was stolen and there is not new technologies for user to track it down properly all this nonsense
