Coast to coast Cornwall in new S-Works Recon MTB shoes on gravel. Bike was fixed then it broke again. Annoying!

Another great video, thank you! Here in Texas, cows are a ways down the list of wildlife to avoid, but they can be aggressive for sure. As far as GRX goes, I've never used it, but I did switch from Shimano to Sram AXS on my last bike build and I'll never go back. Love it. 100% trouble-free in my experience. Awesome work, see you in the next one and have a great weekend!

I switched from SRAM because it got annoying but I think it lasted a lot better than stupid GRX so far. Yeah I’ll bet there’s some serious wildlife encounters out there 🐊 🐍 🐺?

@@amerridesbikes I'm certain they're both a quality product and the choice comes down to personal choice. I do prefer Shimano for flat bar mechanical shifters, but my experience with everything else keeps me in the Sram barn. Have a wonderful day and enjoy the remains of your weekend!

I did almost that ride the other way round the other day, the hill out of Newquay (Porth) and then the hill up from Watergate and then the hill out of Mawgan Porth towards St Eval nearly did me in - but then a short stretch of the camel trail made up for it! Haha “pylon growing on Innis Downs?”, love it - they’re so ugly! Nice to see you back in the Kernow though. Nice ride! (Sorry about pants ending though) - hope you found someone to fix it!

Hey mate! We love your channel 😊 Sorry you're having trouble with your gravelly. I do a bit of mechanic work here in Aus and thought I'd throw some ideas at you for consideration (wish I was there to have a look for you!) I know you're taking your bike to a shop but just thinking that from your issue it sounds like you might need a gear tune. Could be a cable tension and/or limit screw issue. The bike shop should check your hanger, gears and also if your inner and outter shift cable are alright. They might be worth replacing anyway as they're cheap and should improve shifting. Get them to check your hubs and bottom bracket. Get a hub and bottom bracket service if they recommend it and you can afford it. Not sure what price are like in the UK but hub service is about $40 here and BB about $50-60. Love your stuff and can't wait for the next vid. Love from the @Gravel_Gals, Lucy and Zoe

I reckon you must have the unluckiest bike ever. I’ve had a mare this summer with a set of carbon deep section wheels I bought. Only on the rear wheel spokes kept snapping then hot it respoked and then they kept coming loose. After every ride there was something else wrong with it. It’s settled down now but still have this l one spoke that is ever so slightly loose but it works so see what happens next summer as I’ve took them off for winter🤞🤞🤞🤞

@@amerridesbikes in all seriousness to what you say I have actually wondered if people are getting 'easy' tests. In a similar fashion to dodgy MOTs you hear about. A more probable theory is with cars getting bigger and with more distractions within, which is also shocking enough, this must be contributing to drivers feeling like they own the place as they are so firmly ensconced in 'their' personal space. Hence the wild reactions we're all seeing when this is 'challenged'. And by challenged I mean they encounter another road user and have to share or alter their driving.
