The bamboo handlebars are NOT $100 (they're over $200), that was a miscalculated currency conversion on my part, but they're still worth it in my opinion. On the bike carrying strap, I think the biggest problem is the marketing. There are, in fact, reasons to carry a bike, but to call it a rescue strap and base it on a story about a guy with a broken bike makes no sense. I also forgot to mention that bleed funnel is only for Shimano or Sram, and I needed to use an adapter for my TRP brakes. I hope they make more variations because it's cool!

Thank you so much Seth for your unbiased and comprehensive review! We are truly honored to see your valuable feedback. The aspect you highlighted, which is the battery capacity, is indeed crucial for our current product upgrade. We understand that our CUBE may not meet the demands of mountain bike users as it can only fill oversized tires once when fully charged. It is designed primarily for road bike emergency use. Based on our tests, we can fill 700x25c tires up to 80psi two or even three times without any issues. We are actively working on upgrading the battery. Our goal is to develop a more durable and long-lasting battery that will provide the same convenience and performance for mountain bike enthusiasts. Please grant us a little more time. Once again, we greatly appreciate your insightful review. Your feedback is instrumental in helping us clarify our goals.❤

Another sweet perk of the Fillmore valves is they can continue to hold air after breaking. I snapped the stem completely in half, and since the inner "core" just bent and didn't break, it was still able to hold tension keeping the valve shut. You won't be able to inflate the tire through the valve anymore, but it will hold pressure as long as you leave it shut. I got two full days of shuttling out of it before replacing it back at home. Great warranty support as well. Reserve sent me a replacement no questions asked.

Ah, that's a good point. The seal happens at the bottom of the valve rather than the top, so it would make sense that it holds up to abuse better.

You have a plate that fits to your backpack and a permanent strap fitted on the frame with a mounting point, so you just swing the bike onto your back and go. I've been considering it for local stuff where you have some long distance trails like the West Highland Way which has a big hiking section that people always struggle to carry bikes through, so a hands-free option seems more suitable than just carrying. Or there's some steep hills you can't ride up, but good to ride down, and being able to ascend with both hands available is good.

The rescue strap has better use for hike a bike trails. During the summer I hate wearing a backpack when I don't have to and usually putting the bike on your back is easier when you have the backpack to lean the frame so all the weight doesn't go on your shoulders. Here in Bulgaria we also have a crazy 5 day, 720 km race that has a few sections that you are required to have the bike secured to your back so you have both your hands free while you cross the roped section.

BTW, I got the beginner model Reily Ramp to bring camping when my grandson is also along - he loves riding off it, and he won't hurt himself too bad when he bails. It's actually well made (in Michigan) and they have lots of other bigger style ramps if you want to go big. for a portable jump ramp, it does the trick.

I will always give a tip to people, put a simple set of tools in a toolbox. Cheap but not too cheap. It’s basically a crash kit. Tools that you might need that won’t be a huge pain if stolen. I always have a spoke wrench in it and a pedal wrench but those are the only specialized tools I keep in it. And keep a first aid kit go bag next to it in the truck bed (or wherever you transport your bikes). If you need any other specialty tools in the box for the most part it’s not worth it as the repair would be something you do at home. And also specialty tools are expensive. Also those cheap pressure gauges you get at auto zone are the best for bikes in my experience. Digital gauges don’t fit right between spokes and it’s always ready to work and you don’t have to worry about batteries. And again they are cheap so if someone steals your crash kit you aren’t loosing a $20 slime gauge, you are losing a $9 gauge.

Maybe not what the bike strap creator had in mind, but there's a niche group of people who jerry rig solutions like that every year for the Arizona Trail Race, which is a bikepacking ultra. The race runs through the Grand Canyon, and riders have to carry their bikes the whole way because bike wheels cannot touch the ground by law. Restrap came out with a similar product this year. So you're right. The strap has pretty much no application for a regular trail ride. But you're also wrong, because there is a time and a place for it.

I switched to the fillmore valves about a year ago and to me they are a life changer. never had a clogged valve anymore and the pressure gauge on my pump is also much more accurate with these than with the normal valves. I'm never going back to the standard ones

I'd love to see an updated list pinned somewhere of what you normally carry with you in your Hot Laps Gripper and other storage.

The fillmore valve are also a game changer when setting up tubeless by providing more airflow!😮

@chris4536 Жыл бұрын

It's totally worthwhile removing the valve core from a 'regular' tubeless valve if you are having airflow issues when seating with track pump. A valve core removal tool is a such a small simple tool but so so handy for this. I have used a small Cresent wrench before and it can work but it's fiddly. I use the valve core removal trick to inject sealant with a cheap plastic syringe (60ml) from the pharmacy and and fits great, makes it a really simple job! Cheers

that bike carry strap is a solution in search of a problem. I'd rather take spare tubes, patch kit, something like that. in the same space. I like that you arne't just bashing the guy down because if that story is true it comes from a place of genuinely wanting to help, and as you said there are situations where you would want to be able to carry your bike a longer distance, but for most people that isn't going to be the right tool to bring on a trip with limited pack space.

The bamboo bars are beautiful! Holy moly! I think I might turn a set of timber handlebars for my commuter after seeing them.

4:29 I can see the use for this, but not for emergency use. If I were to visit an area with some insane downhill, but no chairlift or anyway to get up to the top other than hiking, I would definitely use this. I would just use additional padding on the pedals or anything that may poke me on the way up.

A few years ago my better half and I were on a trail that we thought was mostly downhill from where we started. It didn't turn out that way and after lots of bushwacking in 100 degree heat she got a flat. I would have loved the battery pump then and I'll probably purchase one.

5:57 there is a situation where I had to carry a bike on my shoulder. Me and 2 friends where on our way back from a ride. It was 5 miles back home on a flat path and one of us got a flat. So I put the bike through the straps of my backpack and he took a ride on my other friends seat. That saved us from a long walk back

Re the bike strap - it's a beginner trap. The first time my derailleur hanger snapped I didn't know it was supposed to do that and I didn't know about master links or chain tools. I was so utterly clueless I tried using a rock to smash a chain link before giving up and carrying my bike 4 miles home.

Having done a brake bleed (more a brake burp tbh) on a trail using wet lube dripped into the levers reservoir before, I really like the Neutron bleed funnel. I'll get one for my travel tool kit.

The only case study I can think of for the bike carry straps is for alpine hike a bikes. I'm eyeing hiking Mt bierstadt to ride down here in Colorado, so strapping might make sense with how long and steep that climb is but that's about it.
