This seems like it could really be a competitive option if/when they come out with a gravel model that is 1x and cheaper without the front derailleur. A removeable battery seems like a must to me but supposedly they stopped doing that because of a SRAM trademark. Hopefully they are working around it if true.

Another way of putting this is, I made my gravel bike really slow

Your SRAM loving is showing when you say you like that one button on the left shifter! :P Coming from riding Shimano Di2, when I test-rode a bike with SRAM drivetrain the thing I liked the least was the idea that I wanted to be in "the other ring" when actuating the front derailleur. Sometimes I just want to make sure I'm not cross chaining or that I am actually in the smallest gear combo. There not being any intuitive way to check without it switching to the one I didn't want had me looking at my feet instead of at the road.

hi im 70% on pavement very steep uphill and descent can i put ss on rear and sk in front for stability?thanks

This is crazy complicated.

not available on 29?

Could you review the new redshift top shelf bars?

Suspension combo vid would be awesome, my inner child wants to see it.

I'd spend the rest of my days finding some clear grips for it.. Nice setup.. You peaked my interest, would the 3X work with the 10 speed if needed? Now I want to build a 30 speed, or maybe a 36 speed...

I have a 93 950 with the lugged OX frame. Love it! Rides so nice. ISO the original seat post and saddle.

Love the color!

I found interior bar ends on my hardtail gives me 90% of what you built. They're shaped like drop hoods which are great for long hours on the non-technical trails.

I would love to see a video of the drop bar levers being used for the dropper. I had no idea that was even possible.

For this bars we have to use short stem like 35 mm for better grip ?

Hey Mike, do you know if the Sensah SRX 1x12 would work with an XD 50t cassette, sram chain and chainring?

Wow what a surprise. Glad ur posting again. You use to be one of the best. Bike you tube presenters!

Just picked one up for under £25 on ebay

Fine for gravel but ive found for long-term road uses you're at a disadvantage

Perfect build! wish the mainstream made these. Dropbar brifters with mountain shifting and dropper paddle on the left. Great job!

Your weight distribution must be completely off on that bike and you are much further forward on the bike than the designer intended, so going downhill is going to be severely compromised. There is a market for drop MTB's but they need to have older style MTB frames with shorter top tubes, the modern MTB's with long reach are not suitable for drop bar conversions without using a very short stem , which will make the bike very unstable.

I have an old "MTN TEK Vertical" bike that I've been fixing up and riding that looks a lot like this. Bought it new way back when. Are they maybe actually the same company?

I am sure that you will regret soon.

I dropped a "Surly Corner Bar" aluminum knock off on my hardtail and love it!

u too , gotta love um, ps the judy is the GOLD standard learn to tune it

Hi, you talk, very fast, kkkkk

Rest of the world here... I listened twice to see if I missed the weight in KG's, but it never came. Otherwise, beautiful build!

I hope this gets normalized 👏👏

I think that's pretty light considering the fork. Anyway totally fine for a gravel bike in my opinion

Suspension stem/fork combo? Feels great, especially with a suspension seat post too.

need an update on how they feel/work riding. Are they flexible laterally?

👍

I have the cloud up 2 and absolutely love it! The price to value is great on it. Only downside to me is the front entrance but still worth it to me

The tires the bike comes with are tubeless compatible?

PSA: those sleeping bag temperature rating are based on the assumption that you have a warmer sleeping pad than the one on this list 😮

Dude just casually working on a Cannondale Track? lmao anyway thanks for this in 2024

How these wheels work with 32 mm road tires with inner tubes. Any issues?

Is the down in your cheep bag from tortured animals or does that matter so long as it’s cheap?

Very very helpful. Thank you! I'm buying a Brompton folding bicycle & I wish I had your metallic glittery purple. Very sweet!

How's the gravel mtb set up, Is it good? Thankss!

people who can sleep with earplugs are just clinically insane... no offense.

glad you are doing good

Those are versatile trunkbags to have on your bike when commuting. Topeak makes similar bags, that look nice. Would be cool to have a garage clicker button on your handlebar.

Tailfin frame bags

They don't make that bag anymore, but the Bontrager MIK Utility bag is basically the same thing minus the pull out panniers. I have the Bontrager MIK Deluxe rack on my Dual Sport 3, so I use the trunk bag up top, and a pair of Ortlieb panniers on each side since it has the extra pannier bar.

Looks pretty solid! I'm very tempted to swap to a Tubilito as a spare. Just so much smaller and lighter than a normal tube (now that I'm tubeless). Looks like a solid setup. That Cycplus pump is still on my wishlist too!

Air seat is comfortable

Might be time for my 1st Century! Looks super scenic, great ride guys!

Great video. I was disappointed by the few bolt on options out there. Now they’re all bolt on!

Why do you have to talk👄 🦜 so fast😮!!??😊
