I know you're not the biggest fan of being in front of the camera but when you are your videos are so much fun. I hope you keep having fun making these so we can all keep enjoying them!
Amazing this was necessary. The bike looked fantastic. The perceptible anatomical difference, insignificant if any. Once something is in our heads. No going back.
It’s impossible to descend that side at speed without a death wish 😅 it’s so steep and it’s pure concrete and unfortunately nature hasn’t kept it grippy in the corners hehe.
I like you keep high quality of your movies all the time. You must be spending a lot of time on preparing those videos. One of my favorites channells. Cheers!
Went thru the same thing. My dilemma was the cable routing cap; I don't like it at all, but it does offer a great advantage to those who want to use different cockpit brand ETC. Since I built mine, I bought the new Madone SLR cockpit and made it work with the help of the Dremel as well. I alway come to your channel every time I built a frame, which is more often that my wife likes it. Good video and content thank you
Need guts and skills to work on the headset as how you did. Though I diy my bikes stuffs mostly, doubt I have either of that to attempt and succeed in it as you. Your passion and obsession is over the top. I salute
once i thought, i'm a nerd - but you are the king..and i really like that! Big compliment, nice videos, a lot of effort put in. Awesome guy you are! And for me as a german, the spelling of "schmolke" is nearly correct ;)
Wow! I was at that exact same spot Saturday 1st May. Came across from Amamesazu-touge so different route up but went down the other side and took pic of the exact same steep switchback you showed. Looking forward to the next film.
Your videos are pleasure to watch everytime! This is one of the best channels on RU-vid regarding editing quality and communication skills 👍🏻 I enjoy every minute!
Hi there man, very good videos from you, lik them alot. Need to ask, what is your bikes weight without pedals, computer-stuff and flaskholders? I must say 6.290 inkluded all is very very good, wow :)
Hi there, what's your goto tire on the Emonda for the "allroad" mode? some light gravel and bad roads. Currently running 28mm schwalbe pro ones on my tcr. but want something in the 32mm range for some adventurous rides. Thanks!
On this Emonda for "all-road" I've only used the 32mm Schwalbe pro one. No issues there, but on very tame gravel. Another option would be 32mm Gravelking slicks if I had to pick something else. But again, it all depends on how bad the roads are. If I'm expecting longer stretches of unpaved roads, I'll leave the Emonda at home :)
The shots with the Speci stem in all positions must have taken ages :O Also, maybe you could go up to 2000 wet paper on it, make it reaally even, so it looks factory? :D
what do you think of the RSL bar ? its 287g for 110x400 and very stiff for a one piece bar, it says theres a 7 watt advantage against a bar and stem combo which is pretty big in racing.
Sunday Morning, Coffee, and ROJ! Is there anything better? Climbing footage was awesome! Bike looks great. That Dremel footage was terrifying. Totally agree on the shim stem. I have an old Felt VA, same design, use that to dial in the perfect fit. Have you come across Wren Stems?
Hi, I’m a cameraman by trade. Just interested if you filmed all this solo? Ie you had to set the shot, record, go down hill and back up to be traveling through frame? If you did then 👍 for hitting your mark on the ptc in the shallow depth of field. Great videos, keep it up 👏👏
Different frame manufacturers and/or stem manufacturers have different recommendation regarding spacers above the stem. Personally I like to have a few mm of adjustability for piece of mind.
my stearer tube is cut so short that i can only use stems with a clamp height of max 40mm (maybe 41/42). i need a lower stem than my -6. the specialized multicomp is 44mm clamp height. do you know of any other affordable -12° stem?
@@ridesofjapan thanks! found the -10 ones from pro and easton. the easton carbon one is still 141g... but the pro plt -10 will do perfectly and is 35€ @130g. Thanks a lot!
