Canyon listened to and read the opinions and comments of current and future customers regarding the price difference between Grizl 6 and Grizl 8 with the SRAM Apex and Shimano GRX and now... they put on the Grizl 6 - drum roll - Shimano HG500 11-34 10 speed! F***ing marketers))

Thanks Florian, I try to add that something that I look for, when watching a video. I watch a lot of KZbin travel reports myself. And about the voice, I have understood that it is important to keep and value our own accent. One of my favorite documentary narrator is Werner Herzog, and he has a German accent. Why not. We must be ourself.

Great video of Sicily. We loved touring the island, though we did not go up Etna. Milazzo, Novara di Sicilia, Giardini Naxos, then trains to Syracuse and Modica. After that we rode all along the southern coast to Sciacca, north to Segesta via Gibellina Vecchia*, and on to Mondello and Palermo. Always great respect from drivers on the roads, and very welcoming locals. * Our only wild camp on Sicily was at the huge art installation there.

Hi there,,i love your narrative and your history knowledge of america,and yes america in general (except those whose lives in big city😊) the suburban folks are more friendly,kind and helpful towards strangers they even give you some cash,offering you place to rest,inviting you to be their guest,etc when ask for help they will absolutely without a doubt would help you(although yes there might be some rude folks too,it depends what races you are,i'm asian so they treat me slightly different than european cyclotourist) i'm too a cyclist myself,i did my solo BAA in 2019 from end of july till mid september,,i bikes from east to west just like you,however the route i'm taking is mostly on Rail Trail,such as;C&O canal-GAP-Three River-Montour-little miami(Ohio)-kathy trail(missouri)-Cowboy trail(Nebraska) in Valentine,NE Cowboy Trail Terminus i following mostly backroads and farmroads all the way up to Teton Pass in Idaho,then head towards Town of Three Sister it was an amazing route scenery and fascinating landscape,an experience once in a lifetime,,i finished my tour in Florence,Oregon in just 52days,,i slept in motel,campground and did many sthealt camp,,thru out my journey i encountered many kind and nice peoples and also many close call esp in Kansas Highway😊,,that's why i choose my route majority on Rail Trails rather than riding on Highway,America is absolutely beautiful not just in pictures but in real life,i urge some of you whose never visit america,you got to go and do it while you're still able,,,and great job Mr.Vlady on your amazing journey hopes to see your next adventure here in Indonesia come visit and ride my home country,,here's another whole new level you will be amazed by our lush green forest and hundreds of active volcanoes and large bodies water too,diversity peoples and languages.😊

I really appreciate your comment - it is totally different to see my video when you have done the trip yourself! I also did C&O, Katy trail etc! And I have been in Florence too, after Eugene! So, you know what it feels like. Only 52 days is great. I wasn’t fast. It must be fantastic also to experience Indonesia ❤️ - yes, some American was rude while gassing me with their pick-up truck. The most of the time, they are nice. They understand you and the situation and they are super helpful. In remote areas they are not even use to see foreigners, so to them my cycling clothes looked weird. But as you said, wasn’t difficult the social part. I’d love to cycle there again, not the same route, but another coast to coast.

Does the bike really have 12 or 11 gears because it feels heavy going uphill or is that a matter of getting used to?
@vladywashere Ай бұрын
Are you asking if a 12 speed bike can tackle climbs? The answer is yes; it does a better job than my Tiagra 2x (20 speeds). On the contrary, it won’t get as fast as a road bike because of the gear ratio. For that you would better opt for a 2by.

@@Freeride____ I see now your point. It is a gravel bike, it won’t get much better than this on climbing. BUT, one could opt for a smaller front crank. I am ok simply because my comparison is with an all-road bike with a Tiagra 2by: faster on road, slower uphill. Talk to a bike mechanic and see the options. May be cheaper than we think to adjust it.
