What do u think is wrong with my bike?when u change gears it takes long to do so mainly in gear 3 and when im just not pedaling i can hear some sort of bashing i dont know what it is if u know please let me know.

Got some 🔥

Same here with the loose crank arms! mine was creaking for weeks and even thought it was the motor. Bought new cranks and cleaned the splines and problem solved. My arms were working loose every few rides from new so definitely something to keep an eye on mate.

Are you enjoying these vloggy videos? I will try to include more clips of riding and b-roll if you promise to keep watching...

Hi where did you get this exact colour? Thanks

Ditto Tim, I’ve got a Cube Stereo Hybrid and an Orbea Alma hardtail (not far from you in Swindon). Love being out on either equally, tend to pedal at around 75/80 cadence all the time now.

Yep❤

What a nightmare! Had a mechanical on my Ebike last week Mate. Channels stuck on the chainring and mech trashed. Bike mechanic reckons the chain got caught on one of the teeth on the chainring and as it rotated ripped the mech forward and trashed it. Only damage thankfully was the derailleur but have also ordered a new cassette, chainring and chain too. Thought it best to replace the lot.

let me guess: 12 speed derailleur?

… well said!!

What a strange mechanical failure, I had a similar failure but it was just the mech cage that got twisted, and a stick managed to get between the plates, The stick hit the ground as I stopped and dug in, the weakest point went bent cage plates

Riding e-bike is like when you doing assisted pull-ups , it gives you some results but nowhere near like when you're doing real pull-ups.

I agree. Surely the mech hanger should have saved the frame from being broken.

put some cute ladies in the content i always watch stuff like that =P

Should the mech hanger have broken and saved my chain stay??

Hello Tim! My experience is the same. The dropperpost of my regular bike I use to ride about 70% was on repair for weeks. So I only took the E-bike. Today was the first ride without motor, no power lost! 😊

Speaking from my own experience, you can definitely become faster, fitter, slimmer and an overall stronger more skilful rider from riding just E-Bikes, however if you use both, it's like having your cake and eating it, although you still have to put the work/miles in to see the results, E-bikes allow for less recovery days and are IMHO one of the best, if not THEE best training tool any cyclist can have.

Love my eeb, also got an XC hardtail. Both brilliant fun, just different rides.

Just got my first e-bike last week. What I'm finding is I'm riding twice as long hours because it's so much fun, so I end up exercising longer at a less painfully hard intensity. Hills still require effort, but it's a moderated effort so you end up riding MORE hills because they become more fun. BTW, I'm from Utah, but I LOVE Wales. Such a great place and I want to go back everyday since my vacation there.

I'm a gravel rider and lapsed ironman triathlete. I used to do tons of very long road rides but like many people had a few years away from it when I became a parent. Got a Specialized Creo 2 to replace my Diverge, and it has been amazing. I've definitely seen my fitness increase because I basically only ride it in eco mode, but it's allowed me to crack out far longer rides, with more climbing, than I'd likely have done on the non-electric Diverge. I'll be adding an Amish bike back in before too long as I do miss riding purely on my own steam, but the Creo 2 has been a a game changer. For MTB I'd absolutely recommend electric to just about anyone. More laps, more fun.

Or you can do what I did - start from zero fitness. The e-bike will make you fitter reeal quick :D.

Spot on! Ride for fun!

Hired an ebike again in Peaslake. Garmjn said i burned 1800 calories in the 4 hours i was riding. Much more than i do normally on my bike. Maybe a 3rd more. Did about twice the distance in the time

Spot on Mate. Absolutely agree with what you’re saying. 👍

E-bikes are great You can get a good workout if you want, all depends on how you ride it. Lots of downhill runs with a heavy bike, means as you say you get a good upperbody workout as well.

WARNING - E-Bikes can make you you have lots more fun....

Does this have a clutched derailleur

How much? What was the damage?

You’re so right about Matthew Ashton . Whatta man! 😎

Those features are already built into your phone. No clunky app required!

My inner shell has got quite a bit of slack so I haven't got as much headroom. Does anyone know how to prevent this?

what glasses you wearing there?

i recently became aware of the Attack HPL - i have used Vee brand tires on my kid's bike, but they were tubed wire-bead type, and i really didnt pay much mind to them - but after watching some unbiased reviews about the Attack, it sounds like they may be the king of the hill for mixed terrain. if i didnt just get a new WTB Verdict on my freerider, i'd prolly slap an HPL on the front (next time) ~ perhaps i'll go with Attack HPL on front, Trail Boss out back on my next set. that's the hardpack dream set, right there~

This bike can take way more, than most people think it can.

I think the rucksack you show is the 18l one, it's certainly bigger than 12l.

Not yet but soon

It's not a review just shows how to use them. Doesn't even answer what title says. Which one is best? So dumb.

ill only wear one when I travel. other then that no man purse for me

are those ray bans ?

I am very thankful for your video. I have the Flow Snaps on my Alpine Trail 7 and just noticed today that I have the same cracks running along the sidewall of my front tire. What a shame, indeed. Edit: I should also note I got this bike brand new just a few months ago and it's the 2023 model so I assume these tires weren't just sitting around for years in poor conditions before getting mounted. 95% of riding has been on sandy hard pack and/or pavement since I got it.

How’s this better than sharing your location through whatsapp ?

Congrats for coming out you're so brave

1:30 I thought this was a glasses compartment. And for a smartphone there is a compartment on the shoulder strap, although it is quite small for a smartphone 6,7".

Just bought one of these for some wildcamping - price has gone up a bit since the video was made but still cheap. Love the "discard instructions" part!

Can you record in HDR format using the insta 360 app??

I haven't got one

I do not enjoy most EDC videos; they're disingenuous. They don't use the gear, its hidden sponsorship, and the exposition is nonsense. Much prefer this kind of content; its genuine, informative and interesting. And a little irony is always amusing 😉

Whereabouts was this ?

Might just mix this footage up with stuff from last week…
