Episode where Emily preps her bikes for sale and sells them documenting that process, prep tips etc. Episode where Emily gets a bike fit with James. Episode where Emily builds a bike based on bike fit with James with her dream frameset (maybe with Nick's mechanical tips and tricks?). Please good sirs and lady.

About Hybrid bikes. My wife has one. When we started riding together we both bought roadbikes. My wife could not get used to the aggressive position of the roadbike. She sold it and bought a hybrid. The more relaxed position helps her be more confident which makes her ride the bike more which is ultimately the goal.

@davebarrett2355 16 дней назад

Regarding hybrids - getting back into cycling 4 years ago, 1st bike I bought was a hybrid. 2 years later I bought a road bike - but i still regularly ride my hybrid, using it as a off road bike or in snow / terrible weather. Yes it is considerably slower, but so what? still have awesome fun on it. Also I did my 1st century ride on it, and regularly ride 2-3 hrs at a time on it, with no hand comfort issues. A big advantage with it is replacing parts is incredibly cheap - a cassette is £15, a bottom bracket is a tenner. Yup they don't last as long but it means I don't have to worry about damaging anything as much. It's done about 13k miles and is still going strong!

Definitely do the bandana if you don't have a full head of hair. You won't get a sunburn through the openings of your helmet, it will absorb sweat, and you can take your water bottle and squirt water through your helmet openings to cool down. I never go out without one, and have been doing it for years and years.

I definitely understand the heavy bike issue especially on hilly routes. I had a steel frame gravel bike and I switched to a carbon fiber frame. It’s so much lighter and makes my rides way more enjoyable. The thing I wish I would have looked into more when I bought my Lauf was more climbing gears in the back. I’m looking into getting a bigger cassette one of these days. So many good categories in overrated/underrated today! Great episode!

Re-head sweat - I just wear a buff. Keeps it all away from the eyes, and goes in the wash as soon as I get home. Perfect for summer, and great for winter too. In addition - any shoes can be made more comfortable with custom insoles. I've never been more comfy in 2 different shoes (cheaper plastic then Lake) with these. Properly worth the money as they last years and, as design, fit you exactly.

@ElrocStone 16 дней назад

What's a buff? I have tried literally everything, hats of various sizes and thicknesses, sweat bands of different sizes and thicknesses (including the halo ones with the silicon strip), and a "sweat gutter" silicon drain rail type thingy. Nothing is even close to working. I sweat like a leaky tap when its full sun, I can literally see a stream of water dripping down during max efforts. I'll try anything, but nothing has worked and I have been looking for a few years.

About sweat while riding there is a thing called a bicycle skull cap, they even make cooling ones, they fit on under the helmet. No annoying hat brim Emily. 😀 fighter pilots and race drivers use similar products under their helmets for the same reason.

RE cargo bib shorts & crashing with keys in the pockets 46:13 I actually did that last year, the first time I wore that pair of bib shorts. Thankfully I didn't get keys stuck in me, but they did tear a huge hole through the outer layer of the pocket and I got rather nasty bruise on the outside of my thigh from them as well. So, keys stay in the bar bag or saddle bag, now.

For the sweat in the eyes, Castelli makes very light headbands. I wear them and they're very good. I have hair, but I sweat quite a bit and sweat usually drips in my eyeglasses, it was the best solution I found. Standard caps are fine, but they were causing me to have to move my head a bit higher and generating neck strains.

100% agree with the “space” advice for the London Brighton 100km ride. I’ve done this a few times and there are definitely more noobs than trustworthy/experienced riders. Loads of near misses with riders taking unpredictable lines / not communicating / braking out of the blue. So stay safe and away from others as much as possible.

@annelisenorth8670 16 дней назад

@elehage 8 дней назад

Hello guys, love the channel. On the sweat issues I tried Halo II Headband, It absorbs part of the sweat but also it deviates it to the sides with a slim silicon strip. on a very hot day at some point it will fails but nothing that a quick squeeze cant fix. Much better than nothing, is comfortable, light, slim, fits under any helmet.

@TimR123 15 дней назад

Building bikes is dangerously addictive. First there was a groupset upgrade on an older bike. That required research and clever solutions for compatibility issues. Then you think you know what you're doing. So I found an old Ti frame and stripped it back to metal and built it from scratch. That was fun 🙂. So sure, why not a modern CF bike (also used and a relative value build) using AXS for the first time. Yeah, that stuff makes it really easy even factoring in the hydraulic issues which are nowhere near as bad as people think. Read the directions and follow them and you're fine. So yeah, underrated.

I run a fidlock bottle on a Minoura saddle mount when I ride my track bike on longer rides. It's super easy to access, but putting it back take a bit of practice, though in my experience it's easier that dealing with the tight bottle cages you need for that mounting position. Definitely recommend trying this as a solution.

In answer to Craig about 11 speed mixing. On my mountain bike I run Sram XD 1180 10-42 cassette with Shimano XT M8000 rear mech and shifter. With a Sram PC1110 chain as well! Absolutely perfect shifting. I also have a gravel bike with the Shimano 11 speed compatible Microshift brifter with an XT M8000 rear mech on an SLX cassette and the PC1110 chain. Again, no shifting problems. I think 11 speed is the sweet spot in Sram/Shimano cross-compatibility (in gravel/mtb anyway).

I think you are right on the mark about the differences in groupsets. I happily rode Sora for several years. Lovely groupset. Until… I started to ride with a group ride. I noticed that when I'm not pedalling my own pace, I found myself in between gears trying to find my preferred cadence. I made the jump to 105 (12-speed mechanical) and riding in the bunch is less stressful and more fun. If I still rode exclusively on my own, would have stayed with Sora.

@TheBassallyear100 16 дней назад

living in Florida we are regular recipients of blinding sweat. my current combo that has been most effective (for me and a couple of friends who have followed suit) is using a Sweat Gutr headband in combination with my Giro Aries helmet. the helmet also has a silicone strip in it. it doesn't eliminate 100% of the problem but it's significantly reduced for steady rides and much improved still when the hammer is down. i'd imagine the combo would do quite well in much less humid environments.

I use Zollen Mens Headbands 3 Packs Guys Sweatband and Sports Headband for Men for Running, Cross Training, Racquetball, Working Out from Amazon.

Hundred percent on hybrid bikes. I tried out hybrids and drop bars before I bought a bike for commuting 15 years ago, the hybrids were (just as Emily said) less intimidating, especially since I'd never sat on a drop bar bike before. That hybrid gateway (Kona Dew) led to longer rides, and eventually my first drop bar bike (Scott Speedster) and thousands of miles on both. Still use the Kona Dew with panniers for commuting, and my Scott Speedster for long days out.

@therouven87 16 дней назад

I can totally relate to Emily's plans because I have acutally a same generation Topstone and tried to convert it to this "do-it-all"- / "harder-allroad"-bike with two wheelsets. (great for bikepacking!) The problem is that the 2019/20 generation's frames of the Topstones 105s need asymmetrical spoked wheels on the rear and is also not made for electronic shifters, so I am also looking into getting something different in the coming 18 months or so. It just limits you on wheel (-changing) options. (looks like the current generation got rid of this problem) Despite this problem, my bike shop managed to put on the 2x12 Ultegra Di2 from my crashed road bike and now I've got a quite nicely modified 2019/20 Topstone "105".

@dyparkify 16 дней назад

I switched from a vented road helmet to an aero helmet because of sunburns on my head. The Oakley Aro 7 helmet has a silicone band/strap on the front of the forehead the redirects the sweat away from the eyes instead of absorbing it. Riding in Hawaii, it does a nice job of keeping sweat out of my eyes until i take it off when all the sweat then dumps straight down my face.

@Enidub 15 дней назад

Answer to Craig's question: You can use 11spd SRAM cassettes and chains with an 11spd Shimano group-set, and vice versa. XDR is specific to SRAM to enable the use of a 10t cog, and therefore only SRAM & 3rd party cassettes designed for XDR will work. Vision should/may sell a XG freehub body for your wheels (the main standard for 11spd< cassettes), which will allow you to use an 11spd SRAM cassette with the Shimano group-set. I've ridden 11spd< SRAM cassettes with Shimano group-sets and chains for years, flawlessly. The same is true for 11spd< Shimano cassettes and chains, with SRAM group-sets. I tend to use Shimano chains are they're the most efficient, however KMC and SRAM chains are perfectly fine to use also. As a mechanic I mostly service bikes 11spd

@andym1056 16 дней назад

The biggest difference between the groups is in the development, the 105 group for a small price difference is much more reliable in the long term, the possibility of having 12 teeths therefore a versatile cassette for the whole year, a better duration in time of the handles as well as better braking in hydraulic.

Building your own bike from parts is the most underrated thing in the bike industry. I bought a Cyclocross bike from a store and it was a whole shitshow of problems. Currently swapping to a new frame and fixing all the problems. I would have been better off, if I just built a bike from scratch.

Met and Bluegrass used to use a gel section on their helmets at the front. Was super soft and comfy and also created a barrier that would divert sweat away from your eyes. I think it’s an option on met helmets now but makes them even pricier.
