Hej! Det finns bättre videor om kottarbeget här på YT. Jag är en liten större åkare, det blir en del skak där kameran sitter ;D sedan kör jag på en hardtail enduro cykel, ingen dämpning bak heller, det kan bero på det också. Men, videon är mest för att jag själv ska kunna kolla på den hemma. Titta gärna på kottabergets egen YT, de finns bra videos där:)

Hej, lite upp och ner finns också. Kolla på Trailforks, de har GPX över olika spår.

Nädu. That's it om man vill filma i 2K och 4K försvinner möjligheten till antiskak. Det är en gammal Garmin Virb Ultra. Sedan är jag en liten större åkare med mycket som skakar 😄Så kameran skakar lite extra. Shake till you make it! Haha

@@XLBikingInternational ok mest är de nog att de är en gammal kamera. Nyare gopro har ju galet bra antiskak

Opa, valeu Junior!

Hello! I’m a very heavy rider (140+ Kg) so I used almost the maximum recommended pressure (close to 120 psi) so I never had punctures since it basically “spat” the gravel out of the way😂 With time my confidence grew on them and I lowered the pressure to around 80-90 psi which was more comfortable. 25mm could be a very rough ride, I don’t know… The narrowest I used was 28. Needless to say I’m now running 45mm and the hype is real ❤ the lowest I’d go nowadays is 35 (my winter studded tires)

@@XLBikingInternational good info, I am like 130lb/60KG so I guess 25mm is a bad idea as I might get bounce to the moon

​@@XLBikingInternationalover 140kg of weight and still you manage to reach over 40 km/h speed. Nice, big respect. I'm thinking about buying GP5000 All Season for my gravel. I ride mostly on asphalt roads, occasionally light terrain just like you drove on the video. Do you still have and recommend them?

@@alien_n7990 those were the days…Thanks! I’m now running 45 mm Schwalbe G-one bite tires. The GP were good, but I think bigger tires are here to stay, even roadies are going bigger. If you’re going to ride 50/50 gravel and road, check the Schwalbe G-one Allaround. If 70% gravel and 30% road try the WTB Riddler or even Panaracer Gravel King. If more road than gravel check the Panaracer GK Slick or WTB tires with less aggressive profile.

@@XLBikingInternational currently I have WTB Riddler 700x37c, they are fine in terrain but as I said before I ride mostly on roads. I think these tires make me to put much more effort to reach over 30 km/h of speed. I have Gravelking SS in my mind but I heard it can lose traction on wet surface.

Hello! The bike is a Pelago Stavanger from 2018 :) a super comfortable all-steel adventure bike from Finland. They have recently updated the model with through axles and new geometry - worth a look!

Thanks! I think I made a mistake and swapped the original bike stem (50mm) for a smaller one (35mm), it was easier to throw the bike around, but when it came to some tight descends it felt like some of the bike was "missing", weird---

Thanks bro! Appreciate it!

Thanks my friend! Hope you’re doing well on the other side of the Atlantic

Abraços Sérgio! Gosto de aprender essas receitas. Tô lendo umas pra levar na bike e vou testar em breve

Thanks!

Best thing is that it's close to home :) Need to get some miles in, Covid messed me up! Cheers bro!

Never tried :) I guess it would be fun as well (?) Not too much of a cat person really...

Hello! Thanks for the interest! Yeah, follow us on Instagram and send me a PM. Most of the community is there and there are plenty of people to talk to/ interact. Thank you so much for your message and sharing a bit of your journey :)

Thanks!

It was worth a shot :) Now I've gotta clean it, hahaha, but it's part of the job! Blessings your way!

Thanks for sharing your story! Yes, cycling is a life changing sport, and I hope to inspire more people to start doing it!

Rose always comes up with interesting things! Pretty cool when bikeshops have a place you can chill and talk gear & bikes :)

Thanks man! Being a fat rider here in Europe is almost being your own freakshow, hahaha. I gotta start charging. Joke aside, I'm glad people like the guys at Aerotech work for all shapes and sizes!

Yes! These days with carbon parts we need to check the weight limit more often than before. Carbon is very strong, but it’s more brittle (will break differently than metal) so check with the makers to be sure! The bike in the video is an all-steel bike and takes up to 135 kg

@@XLBikingInternational what abt this bike brand Triban rc100? Is it possible to support weight to 135?

@@XxDyHendraXx The frame of the bike could possibly hold, but you have to check the wheels. It would be good if the wheels have at least 32 spokes each. 36 would be even better.

@@XLBikingInternational ok, noted on that. Thank u

Amazing! I have since the video changed to bigger tires (Schwalbe g-one 40 mm and WTB Riddler 45mm) and had multiple punctures on both - But, NEVER on my Continentals!

Thanks!!

In my experience it didn't. They fit quite tight against the shoe. On the other hand we have it extremely cold here in Sweden and the snow sometimes does not stick as much. I gather it could be different in other parts of Europe or in the US. But, again, they do fit quite tight, so snow should not be a problem.

They are a lot slower than gp5k, loads slower.

Tack så mycket! Pelago gör fantastiska hojar som håller! Testade en för första gången hos Gamla Stans cykel med - bästa kundtjänsten!

Thanks! Much has changed since this video. I've switched to Schwalbe G-ones, WTB Riddlers, searching for larger width and more comfort - got multiple punctures with both brands, never with my Conti's. I'm honetsly considering going back! :)

@@XLBikingInternational what is the maximum width your bike can take?

@@AussieInJapan That bike on the video gets a maximum size 35 depending on the tire, some will rub. I’ve since changed to a steel gravel bike, the Pelago Stavanger which has clearance to up to 45.

This definitely takes the edge of road vibrations and even off road. Check the "Pro" version as well, as it is a tiny bit lighter and easier to mess around with and install. The good thing is that with different elastomers (provided in box) you can tweak the shock absorption in so many different ways! If you have time read the complete test I did for my blog: www.xlbiking.com/post/test-redshift-shockstop-stem

hahaha good one

I recommend a ride to Gäddeholm and a fika at Gäddeholms cafe! Or better, buy the fika and take it to the lake, a few hundred meters away!

Welcome!

Yes! I'm trying to get a new one to put on the Pelago Gravel, it needs to be shorter than the one on the video because of the bike's geometry. Redshift really hit the right nails with this product!

It was! Gotta admit I had slept better before, but the views and atmosphere were flawless!

They should, considering they’re Gore Tex waterproof. But, check the full specs on the net, I think the model has changed a bit. I’m wearing Sigr overshoes these days and they’re better in my opinion.

@@XLBikingInternational I'm going to buy Gore overshoes and check if they can block water. I worry about the gap from up opening. The water usually seep from there. And how is the Sigr better than Gore?

@@NomadFM SIgr has a velcro tab on the top that helps prevent water and snow coming in. It also has a better bottom sole with more space for diffent types of shoes. I haven't tried the updated version of Gore, maybe they've changed things a bit.

Yes! But, first and foremost try contacting the manufacturers and making sure with them. Some insurance issues will prevent them from openly stating that the bikes have a higher system weight. I’d stay away from carbon except those from Open Cycles (I actually talked to the engineer there). Your, and mine, biggest concern will be the wheels, but 32 and 36 spokes should work fine (did for me, see the videos with the gravel “Nishiki Allroad”). Other than that Check Surly bikes, Pelago Bikes, All City Bikes, Velo Orange, Soma, Allebike (Sweden) only one in aluminum, all the others are steel. The ride of steel is great and problem-free. Oh, check Genesis bikes as well! Good luck!

With the previous answer in mind check the Surly lineup they’re great! Also, there’s a Spanish manufacturer called “Suba Cycles” that is making quality stuff! If you feel adventurous go for any metal frame bike of your choice and invest on a pair of handmade wheels with at least 32 spokes each (ideally 36). I’d steer away from carbon stuff

They can be setup tubeless, but make sure you read the descriptions. The tubeless should be the Ice Spiker Pro Tubeless Easy. I don't run my tires tubeless because I'm too heavy for tubeless and lower pressures. So; i run tubes and because I have to increase the pressure for my weight, the risk of punctures is less.

Thanks mate!
