I'll stay with rim brakes. This is ridiculous

Great soundtrack😎

You should mention that even though the initial investment is higher, afterwards you can have just the brake surface replaced keeping the original carbon slider for half the price of the new disc. That gives you effectively a new rotor for half the price.

Stuff sleeping bag, closed end first, that way the air won’t be trapped.❤✌🏼🙏🏼

Regarding the split ring that provides the interface between the upper bearing and the steerer (5:14): Is it not the case that because of this cut out, there is nothing in the front of the steerer that is supporting the load between the steerer and the inner surface of the upper bearing? More specifically, does this not increase the radial load on the steerer tube at the ends of this c-shaped ring? And is there anything in this system that maintains the orientation of the split ring as you turn the steerer, or does it just move with the cables? TIA.

Can't believe you'd recommend Light Bicycle - these rims may be light, but they are DANGEROUS. They collapsed on a short hill climb on a bike ridden by a 60kg rider. Moreover further investigation revealed that the material used was not from a reputable CF manufacturer, but from a patent infringement material that also contained nylon and glass fibre. Oh, and if you care, the rider broke his collar bone when the wheel broke. Please stop endorseing this cheap Chinese knockoff crap🙏🙏

I’ve lived and rode in Japan for the past 25 years (China)so I know Japanese roads well. This video gave me so much anxiety it was not even funny. The thought of a inoshishi 🐗 waiting around that next corner was just too much for me. 😂. Amazing descending skills sir…truly.

Thanks really learnt alot from this video. I may now attempt my first brake pad change !

LOL OCD box ^^

Thank you for the tip! I'm in the same process with a Specialized FastTrak: I annihilate one of my daughter's eraser gum and my motivation in my bath tub, cleaning only the half of the tyre in ~150 minutes made my self a rubberised sore fingered yeti... and what a mess! I need something more efficient.

you can use a rasp and sandpaper to get the right shape. afterwards a small torchlighter to smoothen the surface. done

This lube will not work as a backup lube if you hot wax your chain. It will not penetrate the links and cake the whole drivetrain.

Fantastic! 😍

Do you plan to actually sit on that saddle or did you just buy it for weighing it?

Now I prefer my formula hub.... simple... balls out, balls in

Hi, I have a Lezyne Pocket Drive Pro as well. Which inner tube have you used for the weather protection/grip "improvement", 700 or 650? I may be asking something obvious but I am an mtb cyclist. thanks in advance!

That's was awesome. Thanks for making that so informative and entertaining!

You should try Berd spokes. Lighter than sapims and way stronger....and they're made of plastic!

i have 11,19,28,36 and i'm planing to get 44 and that's it. 5 step only

An now they dont make the Endura where you can choose PD width anymore. 🙄

My 2021 made in Taiwan rim tape glue doesnt stick anymore, beware...

Pedagogic at its best Suscribed!

For the record, using a hair dryer in combination with rubberized gloves speeds up the process. I was able to clean up a bead in 10 minutes using both vs. 30 minutes with just the gloves.

you dont need the ice. Thin the shoe goo with Xylene or Naptha. Then you can paint the shoe goo on with a small brush or flat head screw driver. It will self level.

Why didn't you use helium to inflate the tires?

Panaracer makes outstanding tires. Have Gillar 25mm on my chimbing bike and CGCX on cyclocross/touring.

Elite fly are the lightest and very easy to squeeze. Also quite durable, I am using pair for 3 years and still going strong, and no smell at all. Only scratches.

es compatible con el pedalier campagnolo superecord de 11v. el mecanico?

Can I remove the logo from my bike frame doing this?

Hey Tobias, you've got too much time and too less children, I guess. 😂 But I have one question: Aren't you concerned about weakening the cross section of your levers while grinding off a lot of material? I mean, even Shimano has reasons for making the "walls" of the parts that thick. What if you have to grab really hard into the brake levers in an emergency case and they fail? Since I weigh 50% more than you, it might not be your problem at all. 😬 But however: Do you take such aspects into account? By the way: I love your videos and I am happy that you speak such a clear and "European" style of English language that even I don't need subtitles in most cases! 🙃

Do you take a shower before taking the train back lol

Since you also had the Canary, what made you choose the stiffer and heavier Falcon?

Dude! You are hilarious! It makes a change to hear diamond advice with a little mirth! Thank you, from France.

Just go for a massive dump before you go out for a ride....500g saving for nothing.

I am planning to switch my canyon endurace to this open u.p. . Will be riding 80 procent road only and have a wheelset for gravel in winter. Is this switch from endurace to open up for road a big step down in terms of liveliness or agility? Since you rode both...

Maxxis Reaver 700x45 is the new bestest estest tire.

This is really good channel and its fun to watch 😂 🤟 what helped me to install exactly the same schwalbe pro one on narrow giant rims is co2 cartridge. This saved a lot of nerves to me 😊 I used a bit of soapy water also and the sealant was inside already. I have the issue that after the air is released the tyre is not staying seated. So there was no any other chance for me without compressor or co2.

Anyone managed to fix the scratches on the heel cup of these shoes as well?

I recommend looking into iPump. 29g micro pump with extending hose, I have no issues pumping 6bar with it. Will be great weight savings. It is a really nice piece of equipment also, with carbon/cnc alu construction!

Here is my setup. It has roughly the same functionality, but I wanted to have the pump inside the bag for a cleaner look. PRO Tool Wrap Performance Saddle Bag - 89.1g PRO Minitool Performance 17 w/ powerlocks - 83g ParkTool TL-4.2 (tyre levers) - 34.6g DYNAPLUG Carbon Racer - 14.5g Leyzne Pocket Drive (14cm) - 72.7g Patch Kit - 4.1g RideNow TPU - 35.6g ======================= Total: 333.6g

I'm beginning to think you're a major shareholder in a grease factory 😄 Great video, it's given me the confidence to have a go at my own now. Thanks!

Thank you for all your great videos! The bag you use in Shinkansen in a Fairmean one? I guess you use another bag for the saddle. Does it fit Shinkansen rules? I have a bag that covers all the bike but I'm interested in the Fairmean bag and just want make sure it fits strict Japan train rules.

Noice!! I was doing this yesterday for about a half hour using a pencil eraser idea i got from another YT video. Works well. Rubbe gloves idea wanna try.

Do you use the same tape to protect the chainstay or something different?

Cool beans! Love the soundtrack at the end. Also trying to grow a cycling channel. Hopefully one day will reach this level.

You are very fast.

I have the crank brothers adapter that works great for gravel races

Enjoying Rides of Japan an I love riding my XC924 Light Bicycle wheelset as well.

There is nothing better than lunch break and a Harakiri ride on the coast of Izu and easy listening music! 😉
