Porcelain,, yeah, some stuff was made better, others, scarier.... ha ha haaa ha ( evil laugh by Vincent Price)

So, you didn't tell us what you won for Second Place? BTW Congratssssssss.

Any issues with the mount? There are some reviews on Amazon that claim the mount was not secure.

Good fun...

What great roads you have( at least in this video, so jealous) BTW, do you ever come across broken glass? When ever there is a Fiesta(party baby) they just throw their glass super huge Beer bottles out the window. I'm so happy I have Continental Gator Skins. Saved me big time.

Great, I was looking for this Video. I developed pain in the back of right knee( only my right knee) going on a 30-mile ride up some steep hills( 18%) I have a type of sciatica issue too on my right side. Pain from my hip, that would transverse down to my knee and sometimes my calf. I would do strengthening/stretching to relive the pain. Then I found a German Chiro that did magic on my back and hip and the pain went away. Problem is, I saw another Chiro as a recommendation from a friend( Russian dude this time) and after being pain free for 1.5 years, he somehow made the pain come back. My old German Chiro is only visiting my area once a month. I'll be seeing him again this December for another treatment. On your Sof Sole, I have flat feet, with broken arches. The left foot is worse than the right. I'm a mess. I was trying to do a console on your Chrio page, but couldn't find a way to message you.

just got an electric bike and this video was very helpful. thank you.

Interesting on your shirt collection. When I was racing in the early 1970s, non cyclist were very mean to us racers. I tried NOT to were a Jersey or cycling t-shirt as they would be very mean/rude and sometimes violating. (ie, opening there car door to push me off the road, throwing beer cans at us on training rides etc) of course this was Northern New Jersey and Southern New York State.

I'm in Cerritos and just got Kreitler rollers.. I can do 1.4 hours but get numb... i was told to stand ...how does one do that?

Adam, do you use weights or bands for your upper body? Nice bisects you have. Keep it up.

wear a damn helmet

Enjoyed your video. I haven’t tried the Silva products, but I’ve switched to squirt on all three of my bikes: Mtb, gravel, and road. I’m not sure what you’re referring to. Puzzled when you said it took you a whole day to prep a new chain. I used mineral spirits, muck off drivetrain cleaner, then dish detergent. After thoroughly drying the chain, I hang it next to a dehumidifier and the whole process takes less than an hour, other than waiting a little bit to apply the squirt to make sure everything is dry on the chain. I write about 150 miles a week and find that I only need to reapply squirt every 2 to 3 rides depending on conditions, and of course, I wipe my chains down after every ride.

Santa clarita paseos are better than that.

Total overkill cleaning chain.

Hi mate. I'm suffering from pain at the arch. Started this February and it is coming and going. At first it was after all out hard efforts but three days ago It was after a 1.5h zone 2 ride. I have bought lots of different shoes and spent thousands on them. Latest addition was Lake CX238 wide and CX242 wide. Both very expensive. I also have changed my pedal system from Time to Keo Look, Added a midfoot cycling cleat adapter to my shoes and bought expensive ass Solestar insoles. Despite all these things I'm still getting issues. Went to a bike fitter and a podiatrist. They said is plantar fasciatis. Nomatter what I do I can't get rid of the problem. It's really frustrating because I've been spinning my wheels in the mud because of this problem making absolutely ZERO progress in terms of cycling over the last year, heck even getting detrained. Is there anything else? PS: I also tried custom orthotics and they didn't work as well. Only thing I haven't tried is G8 Soles. Is there anything else you suggest?

...all reasons against and for are correct

Yeah, more women riders,, I was thinking it was an old boys cycling club... lol

WOW, I saw your first woman rider on this video. I was going to ask "where are all the women riders in your beautiful State of California" ? Now I have seen one. On the rides I started doing in the groups, normally 5-15 riders are women.. go figure.

I use the Connex Quick Links. They can be used as long as the chain lasts ... But I do exactly the same, hot waxing every now and then, and drip waxing in between.

I clean up my chain in 3 Gatorade bottles; one with Varsol (paint thinner), one of degreaser + water, one with 99% isopropyl alcohol. You just shake it real good for 5 minutes for each bath. I used to apply Squirt in a flat bath overnight. I then bought: a small crock pot, paraffin candle wax, WS2 (tungsten disulfide) nano powder and TPFE (Teflon) nano powder. After 2 1/2 years I am still using the same initial batch of paraffin + WS2 + PTFE that I have been using. If no rain I can go 400-450 km between re-waxing. I still have paraffin, WS2, PTFE for another 10-20 years maybe more. Nothing beats a freshly waxed chain.

Gator tires and thorn resistant tubes guarantee no flats.

Iphones suk they never focus right.

FYI Cyclo cross season is in full swing over here in Europe. Tbh I think Cyclo cross and Gravel are 2 different things, Cyclocross is more like MTB but with a "road bike", and Gravel is the rougher version of the road races. The later is more appealing to people cause I think it's something they might just do when they are out on the road, and they cross a "gravel segment" where as, Cyclo Cross you're either having to head for the woods (you're bortherline MTB), or a farmers field... not sure he'll be a big fan ;).

Gravel bikes probably sell better with the average folk than cyclocross bikes, so that is where the bike companies will invest marketing money.

I don't know much about cycle racing but I do know that your videos are fun to watch.

I’ve been doing Oz’s homemade immersive solution for a few years now… I reuse my SRAM master links over and over… never an issue.

In southwest Idaho CX is pretty popular. We have 11 races and over the weekend of racing they get about 200 racers. Pretty festive

Gravel racing has my vote.

Question, do you change wheel sets when you do gravel biking?

Adam, when I was racing in the 1970s, Everyone back then used Tubulars and race day, , my were 110 grams of weight blown up to 190 psi. We never wore a helmet( what a joke our helmets were back them, leather straps on your head!) only during a race and our Chamois,, omg.. Blisters you know were.

YES, Chicken Soup from Grandma... Zinc is excellent.

Cinelli, WOW.. I haven't heard that brand name in awhile. My handle bars/stem are Cinelli on my 1972 Colnago Super and so is the bar tape.. Thx for bringing that up and they are still making handle bar Tape.. Yay.

Good morning Adam. I have a question on BiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough... On the package it says two capsules at night, but I believe you mentioned only 1 capsule was enough for a good results. The reason I'm asking, I'm going to try out a bottle and depending on 1 or 2 dosages will determine the bottle I purchase on my trail run. Plus, we don't have shipping during the month of December here. A great nite's sleep is very important. Inquiring minds need to know. Thx Happy Cycling

Thx, just what I needed to know, as my eyesight is like yours and worse with sunglasses.

more vibrant lmaooooooooooo got a chuckle out of me

Question, what made you favor a Wahoo over a Garmin?

I'm surprised you don't wear a Gator Neck to protect your face from the cold, and it makes breathing that much easier.When it's warmer out, you just slide it down to your neck or remove it. I wear it here in Ecuador and it's great item to include in your back pocket.

Adam, I'm happy for you and your nice recovery. I am just drooling over the wonderful bike lanes/paths and roads you have there compared to Ecuador.. I'll be in the States next May and June to take my New/Used 2014 Specialized Roubaix bike out of the shipping box I purchased off of Ebay and assemble it and take it for a ride. Can't wait. I am already lining up group rides( I like solo too, peaceful) any day on the bike is a good day, like any Pie is good Pie. Ciao

I'm a silica guy through and through. Pricey...yes. Do I care when it comes to my bikes... No. I want the best I can get. Like the video host stated, cycling is my jam. It is what I love to do. And I am not splurging anywhere else in my life, but in my cycling.

Great story,sorry you had to go through that. Your message is very strong and important. In my life injury seems to always be right around the corner 😮, as I get older I’m trying to get more wise. I’m currently on the tail end of planter fasciitis, and just like your story, I need to train appropriately and “not”!! overdo it ,to get to the finish line on this in. For me nowadays, it’s appropriate bike-fit from head to toe and smart training with smart recovery 😊❤️‍🩹.

Adam, question. Back in my racing day, we all PUSHED our gears instead of spinning, as is recommended in most cycling on KZbin. On Mt. Hamilton, I was using my 45 chain ring and a Regina Oro 11-22 cluster.. What cluster did you use on Mt Baldy?

Hey Adam, where do I send a cycling cap that I think you will really love to wear? 1970's vintage.

I still have my 1972 Colnago Super with Campy Super Record components. Wish I could place a photo of the bike on here.

So Adam, I finally found a wait to order the LaticGo to Ecuador.. I look forward to trying this product. Shame I couldn't find a link so you get a little kickback. Enjoy life. Disfruta la Viva! More cycling videos please.

Did you put them in the oven to mold the heel cup?

Squirt doesn't actually do anything - wears off after one ride...

I was looking for LacticGo and I couldn't find it on Amazon. Where do you suggest I look? I didn't see a link on your website. Thank you in advance.

I have one but if I knew Bob and Brad had their own brand I would definitely get another one

Well I bought new Bike with all the newest Tech. I bought all the silka Stuff and so far Im happy. Did the iniial hot wax and now Im just using the super secret wax coating . I rode a 160 miles last week and I sure do have a lot of black stuff on my chain. Im hoping its remnits of the strip chip. But I didn’t watch the video good enough. I guess I was supposed to do three coating , one coating after each of 3 rides. Then you can ride a some distance before the next application. I also put 300 miles not km"s onmy first hot waxing.

I wax my chain atleast every six months. Use Squirt in between.
