Yeah he balanced that out by going wrong twice on the run 🤣🤣

@@dannyr6040 hey Danny, thanks for that - I did really toy with the use of ‘affordable’ in the title, the content of the video isn’t scripted at all. I absolutely understand that the term is subjective and lots of people won’t be able to drop that sort of money on a bike. Webuycycle only sell bikes with a resale value of over £1000, so this was essentially a selection of the cheapest bikes that they had in stock. I’d love to cover more ‘proper’ entry level bikes, I just don’t have one / have access to any at present. On reflection maybe ‘entry level’ would have been a better title, but even that’s open to interpretation as I wouldn’t say di2 is entry level for example. Hope you understand it’s ’just a KZbin title and video’ and I’m not just flexing sworks etc 🤣👍

@@TriathlonDan i totally get its just a title etc and i really wasn't making the comment to sound like a dick or anything. just feel that there could be people put off by 'entry" level bikes being 1700 quid- when this is actually not the case. i have a cube got it for 400 quid off eBay and its more than capable, and has done, ironman, sprints and long rides. i suppose we all have to sell out to get paid and its your work. just hope people don't take it as gospel

@@dannyr6040 no you’re being totally fair and I get your point, I just think it’s still a fair way to title the video. In the actual video introduction I describe it in more detail as ‘towards the lower end of the market, lower price point’. That’s really cool, I had a similar bike in the past too. I’d just say that £400 to some people isn’t affordable either, so where do you draw the line 🤷‍♂️. For clarity Webuycycle have never paid me and I’m not on commission or anything (I actually declined it so that I can always share my honest thoughts etc) I was collecting my bike that they’d bled the brakes up on for me as I couldn’t get them sorted, so I just did a few videos while I was there. They’re good people based locally to me and I like supporting good people where I can, especially if it helps me make content. For additional transparency if this video does 1-2k views it will make £5-7 in total revenue, which I then have to pay tax on, this isn’t a moneymaking scheme 👍

@@TriathlonDan lol think your totally missing the point of my comment.

@@TriathlonDan but it all good, you gotta do what you gotta do. can't fault the hustle. no need to reply

Great question. Interestingly the XL / 58 is almost exactly the same geo as my L Grizl, but the 56 3T I rode on this video is 25mm lower on the front, hence why it felt more racey. I'd probably still go for the Canyon as I'm a bit of a fanboy and the fork mounts have come in handy for a trip I have coming up soon :)

@@TriathlonDan But the Grizl can not take mtb tyres can it? It lacks a little bit tyre clearance I think. There are many good mtb tyres. Continental Race King for example. Extra comfort. Canyon is offering a Grizl with an electric SRAM group for 2340 euro on offer. With that gear group I can put a gear changer on my aerobar. I live in extreme mountains, and I have started my mission of doing every loop route out there. There are about a 100. It's in the Cantabrian mountains in Spain. Now I have finished the first and shortest loop. I had to try 4 times just to get through the shortest loop route 😂. 60 km. The longest is 170 km!

@@Morten_Nielsen1979 wow that sounds awesome! I’ve just put 2.1inch Schwalbe Thunder Burt’s on and there’s plenty of clearance. A 2.2 would fit on the front for sure but a 2.1 on the rear is probably the limit

@@TriathlonDan That's a good pair of tyres. Same weight as the Continental slicks. I had not heard of them before. The 3T will probably always cost at least a 1000 euro more than the Grizl. I think I have narrowed my choice down to these two. Now I am riding a mtb with 40 mm slicks and aerobar. I am also considering the Radon Jealous 9.0 hardtail for 2200 euro. Lower weight that the Grizl and with a suspension fork.

Thanks so much Stu!

Cheers James!

@@TriathlonDan 🤣🤣 the joy of only doing the half. It is hard to get into but I'm sure you'd get a place with your KZbin channel.

Cheers! Appreciate it 👊. Just got to keep moving forward mate, just focus on the next few minutes 😬
