One thing I like with bike shops here is that they’ll service any bike. When the shop I bought my e-bike from shut down I took it to another place and they serviced it even though it has a Nuvinci gear hub that they had probably never serviced before. Victor’s bike looks great with the accessories added. And it was funny how pleased Thuong was with the toptube bag. I think the last year makes us all appreciate the little things in life and I hope we keep that mentality going :)
@TwoWheelCruise3 жыл бұрын
I do miss that part of the bike shop culture in the US. Thuong was really surprised and happy about the surprise present from Victor. It's very true that it's the little things that count and I hope we can have some more fun days like this again in the future :)
On a commuter bike you need full coverage fenders that mounts to the frame and fork. Front fender makes your feets cleaner and your drivetrain.

@kevinfeeney53093 жыл бұрын
Depends on the weather. It doesn't rain enough in Los Angeles to need full coverage fenders. So I just went with an SKS S-Board front fender and an A$$ Savers Fendor Bendor for the rear. Less than $45 for both and it should be enough for AFTER a rain storm finishes. I don't ride when it is raining. Drivers here SUCK in rain. Not worth my health (or life) to get a ride in.

Hi, Cruise. One thing I forgot to ask. Did the store offer Victor a personal set up to get him dialed in to the best riding position? Very kind of Victor giving Thuong that nice surprise gift. "Happy Wedding." By the way, tell Victor that he had one of the best bike locks on the market in his hands. Abus makes top quality locks, especially their Granit 540. I have my radar on that model. I really love these bike shop videos. Much mahalo, Cruise!!

Nice bike. I personally like the look of mountain bikes. I guess because of how beefy they look. City bikes don't look too bad though either. I think that it is cool that they put your extras on your bike for you. For me i would wait the two or three days for it just so my bike will be ready for the road. I wish they had a bike register here in the US. I think it would be useful for bikes that are stolen. Also having a good chain to lock your bike to deter thieves is key. Great video.

8 speed is good especially the chain is cheap and very easy to cut/connect compare to 9sp above. Though kinda not work well for 1x system even it's on narrow wide chain ring since it's easy to fell off, unless you're using bush guard or chain guide.

Can’t go wrong with Rohloff (which I run) or Pinion, durable right out of the box, with a huge range of evenly-spaced ratios. Heard mixed results with Shimano, seems some models don’t hold up as well in wet/sloppy conditions. Changing to better grease is the go-to fix. Kind of a hassle, but it’s cheaper than buying a Rohloff.

The FX2 is a very good bike. Solid, easy to ride. But I really think that bikes like this would be better served not being 3xs. Most folks riding a fitness hybrid would not really know how to use three chain rings. A 1x9 or 1x10 drivetrain makes so much more sense on a bike like that. My wife has a Trek Verve 3. It comes as a 2x9. That's much better; but I will change it to a 1x10 very soon. AdventX or Shimano Deore.
