Thanks for checking out the video. I have not tried to dampen the rattle but I am willing to go down that road. What style riding are you gonna be doing this on(road or gravel)? Is it just the noise while riding or will you be adding an action cam to the top, and trying to kill that noise? I got a few ideas now, and want to try to kill that noise :)

@@T1EAdventures Hi! I will be doing mostly road riding without any cameras... for now 😬, but I am planning to do the almost century ride for Sea Otter next year and I just don't want to deal with any rattling if possible. Can't imagine riding close to 100 miles with that noise. Definitely post an update if you end up doing something about the noise.

Thanks!!

These older guys were bringing back memories of when I use to have my Haro FSX in the late 80's!! They were pretty Rad!!

Thanks! That is awesome! I would love to have a Ti Fargo, but currently using a steel El Mar and went with the Surly Moloko bars, and it seems to be pretty comfortable. Thanks for checking out the video, and Yes!! These are some fun bikes for sure! Cheers!

It’s the Bar Fly Bike Prime GoPro from BarFlyBike.com

Yes, you can reuse it, just make sure you are always dipping a clean chain in it. I have a 500g bag of Silca wax, that I have added to a slow cooker. I have waxed my chains easily 25-30 times (over a year and half) and still have more than half of the wax left in the slow cooker. I would stick to a more petroleum based wax, and not use bee's. Paraffin waxed used in canning foods would be a good starting point, but there are several companies that make bike chain specific wax that may hold up longer, and keep your chain around longer as well. Hope this helps!

Thanks not Pablo!

It a little to busy and slow moving for me... but its still a fun trail.

Thanks for watching… that event was a lot of fun!!

@@T1EAdventures yeah I haven’t done it but was there to cheer on friends and got a little ride in myself. It’s a beautiful venue and Gordon & Emily are awesome!

Sweet! It’s a great event! They have a lot of distances for everyone! Thanks for checking out my video and thanks for the comment!

Fell like it happens to me all the time. 🤣🤣

Glad I could laugh it off and it wasn’t worse :) Still chuckle at it when I see it again.

Ha! It got sent!

2 weeks later and it still hurts to sneeze or cough :) but having watched afterwards it was fun-ny. Thanks for checking it out!

You ain’t kidding!!! And at the end with like a mile to go! I was hurtin! I am sure others were too!!

For the Insta360, I agree, it’s way too tall. For a GoPro, it’s a little better, but still a little proud.

Hello

But it was a rewarding route at the same time! Thanks for being the second half of team Chafing The Dream! It was a fun time!

@@T1EAdventures my pleasure, brotha!

Thanks! It was such a great event!!

Thanks Scottie!!! The App Journey video will be out in 2 weeks!

Don’t tell the other one though!

😳

Awe… Thanks! :)

Ha! Nothing like that fresh shave for the first 30 seconds.

I can between the hot waxing. Every 150ish miles I use their Super Secret chain coating. It’s technically a waxing I guess, but I am not removing and dipping in hot wax for several thousand miles.

Thanks for watching it Sharron! Glad that my points lined up with a couple of real case examples with you personally of how trainers work for those who want to maintain or build fitness! I know that you have some awesome trainer/Zwift accolades, and I feel honored that you watched my video :) glad I could humor you!! Cheers and I will catch you on Zwift soon!

I feel that its pretty chill. Its a 7 mile loop around the lake with only about 200-300 feet of elevation. The rest of the greenway is pretty flat until you climb up away from Salem Creek. So getting into town or over to Quarry Park, there is some climbing, but again, probably less than 100 feet in either direction. Salem Creek greenway is about 3-3.5 miles in one direction. Each of the branches off that into town or to the quarry are less than 2 miles.

I did. I found some 3mm or 1/8th inch bungee cord from Amazon and swapped it out.

@@T1EAdventures thanks I did too

Make it you! :)

I do like that Chris King Hub! But also would love some clingy i9s too. Maybe I just need a second Ti El Mar!!

I did have to service the hope front hub a couple months ago.

Thanks!!

That’s some crazy stuff on that side of the lake. The south side, Jesus Trail, is much more mellow! Cheers 🤙🏼

@@T1EAdventures for sure. Nawth side is rowdy rowdy. Hay Soos is fun though. Glad that the Southside has been developed. MO trails mo betta 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🍻🚵🏿‍♀️

Same here… last year’s rain kept me off the MTB quite a bit. I still have my road and gravel. Also, not scared to hop on my trainer if I need to!

Little mild detergent and some water typically gets any trail grime off. It does take a little elbow grease to scrub the canvas material. I purchased the black because I am lazy about cleaning things :)

I would say they are very similar since a lot of them are based off of MTB platforms. Because of that,in a lot of cases hybrids will have MTB drivetrain, making it difficult to put drop bars on it without changing out the whole drivetrain. You can get around that issue if you already have AXS wireless shifting.

its just a road bike with wider tyre clearance IMO, or if you would just add a dropbar to an old mtb.... or just a old mtb with road bike geometry if you're having a flatbar. I had one and its also great

🤣🤣 keep at them both…. Maybe one day.. lol

Come on down :) I am paired up already, team Chafing the Dream Look for the Facebook page, there are people posting up that they need a partner every now and then.

@@T1EAdventures It looked like they only had an Instagram page?

scratch that, found!

Glad you found it… It’s a great time. Will be camping there the whole weekend!

You will absolutely love gravel cycling and Floyd is soooo awesome! South western Virginia is beautiful and so much fun! Thanks for watching my video!

Totally agree!!

I do get the wax shavings on my mat under my trainer but are easily vacuumed up with a shop vac. Since I have switched over to waxing, I have not had any black gunky build up on any of my bikes. Can I ask what brand of wax you are using?
