Thanks!

Thanks!

You’re welcome!

Nice!

there's suspensions?

Do they have decathlon there?

No worries, I appreciate the perspective. I have insurance for the bike as well...

@@Kerleem Most dutch dont do insurance for bikes. But most people here buy them 2nd use, or something affordable as it will degrade faster as we use it daily so quality/cost is what most dutch look for. Your bike looks good tho. double locks do help but depends on the locks. All locks can be broken, but the double chain and wheel lock one is technically the safest as someone has to destroy both the locks to remove it. Which means nobody gonna bother to steal it if someone else has 1 lock on it and its only a frame lock. In my opinion you are good, I stole bikes before when i was younger too, dont tell youtube i was poor XD. But no I can tell someone wouldnt steal this based on the locks being too much of a hassle. Especially if you get it to stick to a frame like one you park it at. Other people may worry but the bike is new, why wouldnt someone steal it. Well it is simple, you can steal yours with 2 locks and takes a bit of time. Or someone can choose any other bike like 100.000 on the train station with 1 lock. you get my point.

There’s not really enough to warrant a video but I’ll just summarize it here. It’s still a nice bike. I haven’t treated it as well as I should have. It sits outside and it’s not really meant to. So the lights stopped working and some of the bolts are a little bit rusty. Otherwise it’s been great. Still works fine. One pedal broke after about 6 months. I replaced it myself for about 12 EUR with stronger pedals.

@@Kerleem Thank you.

As you out that on it, you double the value of the bike. 😂😂

It's actually pretty good where it's at. I couldn't put it anymore towards the middle because of the cables.

I don't really know how to feel "frame stiffness" I don't use the bike regularly anymore (my choice, not the bike's fault). But on cobblestone, you feel the bumps easily...if that helps

Interesting! Please contact me on Instagram, I can try to help. My username is my name “kerleem”

I have no idea but I don’t think it can handle much wider tires to be honest

Alfine gears are Shimano pro-amateur level products. The Elops Speed 920 has an internal gear hub that I have used for more than 9 months without maintenance. The Speed 900 has Altus Derailleurs that offers arguably better control. However I would still recommend the 920 because it has hydraulic brakes. 900s only get mechanical disc brake.

@@BienAsperge how fast 920 and 900 goes or can go?

@@RagulCJ In terms of speed it's very much dependent on your legs and your position - but a general rule of thumb is that the 900 can maintain a greater efficiency comparing to the 920, as internal hubs tend to lose a bit more power given the same pedalling power.

I don’t think the headlight can be moved to another handlebar. Or at least not easily. I think a rear rack can be mounted. They sell an accessory for it, but I don’t use one.

There’s no frame suspension and the tires are quite firm so you feel every bump on big cobble stones. It’s quite uncomfortable. On more close-together brick roads (like in the video) it’s slightly bumpy but not unbearable. I haven’t tried jumping it from a sidewalk but it should handle a small dip ok since the tires are firm

If you cut the lock off the frame, it’s still locked to the wheel, so not a risk I’m too concerned with

It was AXA DEFENDER RINGSLOT - ART 2 www.decathlon.nl/p/axa-defender-ringslot-art-2/_/R-p-X8392574

@@Kerleem thank you!

According to the decathlon website, the Alfine 8 hub.

No I added the frame lock

From decathlon.nl it's BTWIN ACHTERSTANDAARD VOOR FIETS 500

I'm not sure!

@@Kerleem can you get the info? Decathlon customer care don't speak English and it would be of great help if you can get the information. Thank you

@@TrilmaRose yes you can install 1 bottle holder. There are 2 screws you can attach the bottle holder on the frame. You can see them at 4:56

That’s great! What do you like most?

​@@Kerleem everything :) i can tell you nothing what i doesnt like. but if i have to tell you something I really like the design, the simplicity, and the value based on the price.

@@viteez great to hear

Nope

I think so sometimes but I don’t use the bike often anymore

I haven’t ridden the 900 but I was also considering it. I think it has a lot of similarities (lightweight, 8 speed, disc brakes) so it could be a good option as well

@@Kerleem thank you

I don’t ride it very often anymore but it still works well. Very lightweight and fast

I'm 180cm. I think I got L if I remember correctly

I don't know

There are a few differences, main difference is the integrated gear system in the 920 vs external derailleur

Thank you for the help! Would u spend the extra money on the 920? I personally drive my bike about 50-100km every week so I'd definitely spend it if it's worth it. @@MelloBo

I’m not sure

Nope

1.8m. I went with the L size

I got L frame size. I am 1.8m tall

Pretty skinny. Not as skinny as a road bike but close.

@@Kerleem I just looked at decathlon's website. The tires are 32mm wide.

It’s decent. I don’t have much to compare it to

From decathlon.nl it's BTWIN ACHTERSTANDAARD VOOR FIETS 500

@@Kerleem Thanks.

If you push it, easily 32 km/h in higher gears. 40 maybe if you were going downhill too

@@Kerleem so 32 if you push it? Was expecting more since it looks almost like a road bike

as I am considering these options RC 100 vs Riverside 500 vs Elops speed 900? My office is pretty close howver, I also want to use the bike for weekend rides less than 100 KM. Can someone suggest which one would be good? Can triban go as much as Elops Speed 900/920 ?

700 mm or 27in

Yes

What?

I believe it’s France but I’m not 100% sure

Haha, affordable, lightweight bicycle. Can't get that with Gazelle!

I didn’t even know they have Decathlon in the US!

Ok

True. You can add a rack if you want but the riding position is only good for shorter commutes (under 30 mins)

Guten!

It's good enough for short distances (city bike). I have no real complaints with it.

@@Kerleem yeah its a very nice bike indeed, I mean, you need to be carefull with it else it gets stolen or breaks.

@@bobfels5343 too fragile and with thin tiers it’s a matter of time you get stuck in a tramrail.

On a non ebike it is!

👍🏽
