Thought this was review on the bag not 10 mins about the stuff you put in it.

Mullet or w9?

Microphone next time

Nice trail man

Five line skink

Yoink it

that’s a blue tailed skink, used to see them where i lived in this rural part of maryland, but now i live in florida so its hard to miss one during the day lol.

Not leech not viper NOT iguana for sure it’s a type of skink and it’s a type of lizard

A viper?

thats a skink

Its a leech

Smoooooth!!

Thanks! Great tips on the first aid kit and tire puncture tool. Did you try the Osprey Seral 4 or 7?

Hi, would like an update as of July 2024. What is your barefoot boots now? Thanks ✌️

These are the units that didn't complete the QA

Now I know I have a counterfeit. 😡

i was about to save grams for this.sheesh this is terrible.thanks man

Thx for review. Now I know I love new ones and I bought new one on reviwo (still available). Good this shoe evolves. I hope that in good direction :)

I'm trying out Silca Synergetic now, because I generally hat how loud my waxed chain gets after only 200km. Although it also sounds very dry in bad conditions, I think its still better than having an oiled chain that picks up most of that mud

Going off what i know. SRAM and Shimano rear sprokets are slightly offset. I know someone who had a simlar issue and had to get a spacer for the sprocket. Now it shifts like butter.

Got the one from Ali, had to grind all the edges to prevent it from damaging my carbon steerer. I also disassembled it and the axle is different from the original... Just ordered an original elastomer to try it out (I find the included ones to bee way too soft). If I like the stem I'll buy the original when I find a good deal.

You just saved me at least $270.00 USD. Thanks.

Great video. I wouldn't trust my life for $50 on that stem. With the reputation of Chinese knockoffs it's not worth the risk. That clamp difference is bad news. Torque down that clamps on your bars and it could crush it and not hold the bar securely. Keep the videos coming

I’ve recently started my research into the barefoot boot market. I found your review the least “influenced”. I’m curious if you ever did find another boot that you like… I also am interested to know if your opinion about the “new version” has maintained or changed?

Hi, do you sell used Vivobarefoot Tracker shoes? I would love to buy them on ebay. Greg

Looks like this cassette shifts good on shimano than sram

worst cassette we've ever seen and worked with

Vivo it's a very bad company. I had two paires and all of them was shitty. For me they just try to still your money the maximum they can but nothing more.

If u use it with a Shimano derailleur it might not work cause it’s designed to work with their cassettes. They’re cassettes got that hyper glide shit or whatever that they’re deraillures are made for lol. Idk what they did but it just doesn’t work with it lol

Xero shoes are trash just like Nike etc.

a lot of your issues (certaInly not all, but a lot) have to do with break in. the leather and sole especially.

Lmao. So it won’t jump gears, unless you don’t want it to? Absolutely amazing engineering ZTTO. Did you get a refund for this?

Appreciating your detailed, personal-experience review. I'm curious to know what you wound up doing? Did you return them? Did you give them a go for their 100-days? Did you find something else that you love?

Thanks for the video! Unfortunately the entire vivo line has taken a significant decline since the terra plana days. Those with the kevlar lined sole were the best. The fit and finish were perfect. Anything I bought in a 45 fit me. Fast forward to now, the shoes are significantly cheaper feeling while retaining the same or more price point. Their shoes are narrower across the board as well. Ever since their "foot survey" years ago the shoes are definitely more narrow. Also the entire vivo line stinks now and has way too much overlap. Back in the good ol' days we had an actual practical line up. Aqua's, Scott's, oak's, ultra's, neo's, ra's, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. Vivo had distinct shoes for distinct uses. The bloat of the current lineup stinks. And most have a slightly different fit. Really a shame vivo was the best.

Haha, 😂 regards. Thanks for sharing

I have this problem with many of my beloved shoes that I have worn out. You wont find the exact same feeling ever again and you do need to keep looking for a different model, because of war (competition, conflict) I guess. Its just a reality about human beings that we have to face. Also, please let me know if you found something.

I have an 11T-34T 11 speed ZTTO road cassette and I’ve had the most horrific shifting performance with a SHIMANO 105 derailleur and chain.

Thanks. What boots did you go with?

I think your a little in your head on this one. The only meaningful differences are the shorter shoelaces and different soles. I bet the new soles don't wrap around the toe as much because of the new sturdier material. Which loosened up pretty quick for me. They're not as thin and flexible as the xero sneakers I wear every day, but they're alot more comfortable when walking over sharp rocks and did a good job saving my foot from a random nail on the ground.

Do you have a link ? I want to replace my Sram Pg 1230 cassette.

i bought a single speed adapter from ztto works great . and it should

I have no clue what the problem with your example is, but my SROAD 11-50 runs and shifts flawlessly perfect for the last three years and some hundred kilometers. It even shows next to no signs of wear. Maybe they are made in or by another foctory since then.

Amazing review, but how is the sizing on the old versus the new??? Did you wear the same exact size and would you suggest the same??? I’m in between a 43 and a 44 so I’m having a hard time trying to figure out which one to go with?? appreciate it so much

Looks like a counterfeit or something

So happy to find this review but wish I had seen it earlier. We bought two pairs of these boots, one for my husband and the other for our son-in-law. Both of them, after only a few months of wear are doing the same thing. They soles have completely pulled away from the leather and the material it's made of is crumbling. They look awful and the sole is no longer serving it's purpose making the leather pull up. I couldn't understand how people were showing three year old boots when ours didn't even last a few months. We're now going through the frustrating process of trying to return these boots. It looks like Vivo just recently got a new customer service company to handle their customers. Hopefully they're better than their last. I've spent countless hours of my life for this and just under $1000 Canadian for crappy boots. Any luck finding a pair of durable barefoot boots? We're still looking...

Good comparison review, thank you.

I have the same cassette on my wife's Ghost Carbon. The bike had a SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain, with the NX derailleur having gotten "sloppy" at it's B-bolt mount and the cable routing pulley was also getting hard to turn. Anyways - it still shifted okay with the stamped steel NX cassette, just a bit lazy and imprecise and also had to be tuned after every ride or two. With the ZTTO cassette and the worn drivetrain I could not get shifting indexed properly at all. My local bike shop had a look and suggested a new derailleur. Instead, I replaced the B-bolt with the XO1 part, and also drilled out the old cable routing pulley's mounting rivet and installed the XO1's bearing-mounted pulley instead. Lastly I replaced the NX chain, which was stretched but theoretically still had a 1/3 of it's live left, with an XO1 chain. The result is perfect shifting. I think the ZTTO cassette needs a drivetrain with less sloppiness than that found in NX (and SX), it does not tolerate wear and tear, and the NX (and SX is certainly even worse) is kind of notorious for quickly developing a bunch of derailleur play.

Thanks for making this video man. Had just ordered a pair of tracker II FGs and cancelled the order and got the originals on sale off Amazon. Hopefully they come w all the original quality materials they’re supposed to.

What is your groupset and chain ?
