@@TrentSiggard thanks!

@@stay_loose finally put in an order for the Ouch-1’s after this. You put me over the edge!

@@gavinlikesbikes it's rad because you can make either side fit anywhere from 16" to 29" wheels. perfect for the wheels on the omnium. prolly should've mentioned that in the video haha, geez.

unfortunately with a highly niche and nicely built product like this, that's just the cost. i will say you get what you pay for with these. but look out for Omnium's own version coming soon. though i don't know what their pricing will be, or how they work necessarily, i'm sure shipping within Europe will not be as drastic.

@@brandonsouba probably not necessary, but with all the vibrations this setup will see, i don't want to take any chances losing a nut and (hopefully) not losing a bike.

@@stay_loose Oh yeah, I wasn’t throwing shade - was going to recommend it but am not great at DIY stuff so really didn’t know. Love your videos - did you move to Wisconsin from ATL?

@@brandonsouba using thread-lock cuts down on the time needed maintaining stuff like this. you still have to inspect the bolt, but way less regularly. Sandy Munro calls bolts "threaded un-fasteners" (as opposed to threaded fasteners). i think it's a clever little joke, but it's also true

@@brandonsouba all good, yeah, loc-tite is good for this type of application for sure. and thanks, yeah, ope! we're midwesterners now!

yo! sorry for the delay, had to look for it in my archived project files! it's part of this old movie soundtrack from the krautrock band Can, before they became Can! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYaokn2wlpZolc0

@@stay_loose Proto Can, thanks!

lol, if you play it back, you'll see i'm cross-cutting, so machete was totally fine after this. feel free to send me the money via cash app ($layhee) or paypal (paypal.me/layhee)! thanks!

photo rides are rad! great way to explore a city.

the bullitt feels long and low where this feels snappier and happier. i loved my bullitt when i had one, especially for heavy load hauling on city streets, but for off-roading & mountain biking, this is the cargo bike for it 👌

@@stay_loose cool! Thanks I have a boarder collie Dog 🐶 I think both might be great! I like that the Ominium is great for Mtb tracks etc!

When you're riding an omnium without cargo it feels pretty much like a regular bike. If you have the mini-max you can take it into elevators and trains and such because it's not much longer than a regular bike. You can relatively easily lift an unloaded or lightly loaded Omnium and carry it on stairs when needed, both because it's only about 20kg but also because it's very well balanced and you can pretty much just put it over your shoulder using the top tube. Of course once you load up the omnium with over 50kg it's no longer as fun and nimble but still quite doable. The bullitt on the other hand is built for having load, 50kg handles like a dream. But it's too long for regular elevators, too heavy and not easy to lift. For me personally, if I were to choose a bike for the rest of my life, it would be the omnium mini-max because it's both a really fun bike and can still carry a person or a ton of cargo when you really need it. So if you're planning on hauling heavy and bulky cargo regularly or want to transport more than one child, I'd go for the bullitt. If you want to get our groceries home, maybe a christmas tree or some smaller furniture, or have a kid on there, and still want to have a fun bike, I'd go for the omnium. Also if your storage options are limited the omnium is much more compact. ps. I've used the bullitt for deliveries for many years and i currently have both an omnium for when I want to have fun with my kids on there or if i want to go without electric assist, and a regular long-john cargo bike for when i need to put in both kids and groceries or it's raining etc.

@@barbanousse thanks for the answer! 😊👌🏾

nice! i sometimes wish i had gone with the minimax. good middle ground. hell yeah droppers are sick!

thanks!

thanks! it's a 29x2.25 (57mm-622) Schwalbe Racing Ralph. love it for mixed terrain stuff.

i guess you couldn't hear it because my sound levels and sound editing knowledge were way off when i first made this, but i said "without pedals or a kickstand". and yes, 15.9kg with webbing. no tubes. the wheels are tubeless.

yeah sorry about that, i was using my phone's mic and shitty computer speakers to edit these 3 years ago so the levels are all out of whack for sure! still learning and trying to get better at sound design/editing!

it's an alley find/ground score/reused, reduced, recycled-style collapsible box labeled "IFCO" not sure you can buy them, just look around your local trash pile and you might get lucky!

thanks! it was a fun trip!

thanks!

thankie!

15,9kg

thank you so much. trying! new story coming soon!

nice! hard to say! that's entirely dependent on you, the weight/tires/gearing of the bike, and conditions like wind and weather. personally, on a beautiful summertime overnighter a few years ago with no wind and flat paved bike paths, my 42lbs/19kg (with gear) bike and i were cruising around 12-15mph/19-24kmh at any given time. as soon as i hit elevation though it was closer to 5mph avg haha

@@stay_loose Cheers Dude, I normally kick out 25-30 km on endurance events. It was a thought so I could carry our Bivvi kit as this has been slimmed down but it let's Ceri enjoy the ride while I burn the matches. 😂

@jamesbicknell4706 very nice. yeah the bike is gonna be heavier if it's not titanium, and wind resistance goes way up overall, not for everybody but it's my favorite way to bike camp!

thanks! still working on the next one!

thanks! Schwalbe Rocket Ron 20x2.25 in the front and Schwalbe Racing Ralph 29x2.25 out back.

working on it! had a million life changes this past winter. new stuff coming up though!

surely! i have a Schwalbe Racing Ralph on the back and a Schwalbe Rocket Ron on the front.

I built the wheels myself using a White Industries rear hub, and a Shutter Precision dynamo hub up front. the rims are carbon from a company called Nextie, and i've had nothing but good luck with them. we would build up a set of wheels with these rims at least once a week at my last shop. As for tires, Schwalbe is one of very few brands that makes tubeless ready 20" tires, so i went with a slightly more aggressive rocket ron on the front, and one of their XC tires on the back, the racing ralph. TLDR - custom and yes, stoked on em!

Wow, Sounds awesome, just as Video. The tires are 2mm (with 57mm) wider than Omnium suggests for the tire width. We’re there any issues? Despite the minimal weight loss of Carbon to Aluminium especially in the 20“ wheel (650gr. vs 280gr) have you had a choice of driving another bike to compare them?

@@Elefantenklo23 tires are close, but totally fine if you stay out of chunky mud. i have ridden the same rims on non-cargo bikes and they are rad. that minimal weight loss is super noticeable when you first spin up. definitely feel it when you're stopping and starting for city riding on this thing.

Thanks! the stabilizer strap is from PS Bagworks. the main strap is a Peak Design Leash, and the PS Bagworks Stabillizer strap works with most skinny straps to add the cross-chest strap with a magnetic fidlock buckle 👌
