Ace, congrats on 1000 subs! I think the benefit of no hand track stand is that if you can manage 60 seconds no handed, 1000 seconds with two hands will feel very easy :)

@addvurtbikes 3 күн бұрын

Thanks! Yeah, maybe. I think a good thing about the no hands track stand is that I can have my upper body straight up, instead of leaning forward. But knowing that I can keep the front wheel under control without the hands would help.

Why I have a front brake on mine. Also, the Time iClic pedals.

@addvurtbikes 10 күн бұрын

those pedals look like spd-sl. do you like them?

@monkmchorning 10 күн бұрын

It's a road pedal that uses a 3-bolt cleat, that is no longer made. The pedal, that is. the cleats will be around for a few more years. The design was updated by a series called Xpresso--same idea but with different springs, cleats, and lugs. The Xpresso is easier to engage, but the cleats are slightly less durable. I like Time because of the float mechanics, low stack height, and solid platform underfoot.

Great insights! I built a FG with a 90's MTB frame. Run WTB byway 47 tyres on 650b rims. I don't do mountain bike trails but find it's good for off-road and small jumps, and the semi-slick center on these tyres means minimal rolling resistance on road. I have WTB resolut 42's which are more knobbly and great for wet off-road riding, but the bigger byways are a better fit for my riding thanks to the thread pattern

Once you get used to them they can be very good with control and stopping. Toe Clips come in last as far as these options.

@MarchuxProductions 2 ай бұрын

I know clipless is more efficient, but I'm still a firm clipless hater for most riders. The ability to wear anything and still be able to ride is heavily underrated. Back when I thought I cared about cycling gear, I bought shorts, jerseys, borrowed some clipless shoes and pedals, got into Strava and stuff, and guess what? I barely ever rode. It always felt like a chore, and all the efficiency gains were lost (time wise) by me wasting time changing clothes. Many "serious cyclists" don't realise that it's not the be all, end all. I'm much happier ignoring my stats and riding in an open button up shirt and god damn jorts haha But I'm still massively in favor of any sort of foot retention. Currently have straps on all 3 of my bikes, want to try out cages. Great vid as always!
