I would recommend to change steel bolts for titanium (stem, bottle cage, seat tube, disk breaks bolt that holds breaking pads). No rust after regular bike washing plus you save a few gramms.

Your GP5000 (front) is not well mounted.. 😅

My tpu experience has been poor. Several leaking around the valve stem. Quite a few gone in the bin. Loose about 20psi a week even when not suffering from the aforementioned issue. Still I’ve persisted on my weekend bike. The commuter bike will stay with butyl.

The master link tool seems like a very handy accessory in case the chain snaps during a ride.

Becarefull with cycling items from Aliexpress. I bought a suspension seatpost in april 2024. In august, after only four month, the seatpost tube had a complete breakdown. Garanty was only 15 days...

@Vixen1525 2 месяца назад

I would recommend the alloy ZTTO presta valve caps because they look great, instead of those plastic ones.

@nikinikcc 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the tip! I'll have a look at them

@BangTheRocksTogether 2 месяца назад

You mention not having digital calipers. Mine, 100mm plastic, came from Ali, and are so cheap I buy them four at a time. one in every toolbox.

@nikinikcc 2 месяца назад

Good point! I should get those calipers too!

The handle bar tape is thin and not up-to-snuff.. 3rd rate. I am disappointed in you. Deliver the truth, brah...

@nikinikcc Месяц назад

It is unfortunate that you've had such a disappointing experience with that bar tape but I can only talk about how I am getting along with it and for me it is holding up really well.

just don't leave bike on direct sun with tpu inner tubes

@nikinikcc 3 месяца назад

Oh really? I did not know about this one. What could happen if you did?

@enuazeal 3 месяца назад

@@nikinikcc they blow up. had two rear tires got hole about 5mm in diameter while the bike was parked on direct sun. first i was like wtf just happened. went on bike packing trip las summer, stop at bakery, left bike outside, was around 35C on sun. when i finished eating, flat tire... i thought maybe i went harder over curb but second time 3 months ago went on longer ride also, ant it was hot, not 35 but above 30C on direct sun, went in restaurant to eat, was outside not far from my bike, waiting for food, and just hear tire pop... interesting front tire was ok whole year. so after this trip removed both inner tubes and went tubeless :)

@@enuazealyou must have been at the maximum allowable PSI. I forget what it is but ridenow advertises to not go over a certain psi and that heat does make the pressure go up, but probably left in the car heat not outside hot heat

@enuazeal 3 месяца назад

@@jpoodle nope, pump my tires at ~70psi always, and i dont have car when i ride my bike :)

@davidmurphy9151 3 месяца назад

@@enuazeal the max psi for those tubes is 72 - in thhe heat they likely exceeded that.

@peterlewis2255 2 месяца назад

In the handle of the master link tool is a Y shape slot. It is almost the right width for removing or tightening valve cores. I only a needed a very few seconds with a tiny file to get the size to perfection. So much better than a separate tiny, easy-to-lose, tool, and it weighs and extra 0 grams.

That is also a cool hack!

In my experience, the Supacaz lookalike bar tape is pretty bad. Got the cheap 6€ and the more expensive around 17€ and both started to deteriorate after 2 months and didn't feel as good as the real stuff (wich is very expensive tbf)

Danke dir für den Hinweis! Bei mir funktionieren sie noch aber ich glaube es kommt drauf an über welches Land man auf die Links zuzugreifen versucht.

Prices quoted in Swiss francs? Listening to your pronunciation, your english sounds good. Maybe a vague German cadence? I bet you are from some German-speaking canton in northern CH, am I wrong? And not from Canton Valais, please🙄🙄🙄(where the people, one of the most provincial populations ever known, cannot - doesn't like? - communicate except by using a confused Franco-German dialect, and nobody knows English, in 2024!!! Btw, thank you for the video🙏

I also bought your #2,3,and 4. Agreed those items have good quality and very reasonably priced. Also I would recommend HR monitor / Cadence / speed monitors.

@nikinikcc 2 месяца назад

Glad you are also having a good experience with those! From which brand do you have your HR monitor?

@vromaka 2 месяца назад

1. A nylon bottle cage is about the same weight and is a way cheaper. 2. Completely useless item. 3. Any cheap tool from aliexpress is a garbage. 4. Bar tape - another garbage. 5. Ridenow - had 6 of them for diffetent bikes - better use some latex inner tube or go tubeless. Very unreliable! Very hard to find a hole.
