10 Cheap But Excellent Cycling Products

People need to realize they do not need electric shifting nor €500 bike computers to have fun on the road. This was a good reminder.

​@@P4P5 I did a bike build a few years ago, got one of the first GRX-groupsets that was ever sold in Europe an put it on a Niner RLT steel frame. Bike cost me well in advance of €4000 all in all. Lovely bike. But to have fun on gravel I do not actually need that bike, any decent bike would do just fine. From a just fun perspective we overspend on our bikes like crazy. It is a fun hobby, admittedly, but it is also quite bonkers. Shopaholics unite.

I remember my brother getting into road cycling for exercise and I told him to get the triban rc520 ASAP. Peak pandemic. He managed to buy the last one from the batch. He's still riding it. Upgraded saddle, wheels and I think a stem. Bigger range cassette pending. He now understands that he doesn't need anything better. Having a cheaper bike, he's not worried about being dinged or scratched. It's his commuter, adventure bike etc. I don't think he'll change it ever. His previous bike was my old vintage Peugeot single speed. He's a cheapskate and decathlon bikes are the best value.

[@xosece]

yup, another great bike. I got the RC 120, but the RC 520 is amazing value for what it offers. At the current price of the RC 520 (1100€ or so) I decided that my next bike, which I plan to buy next month is the Canyon Roadlite 6, it is a 1X drivetrain bike (1x12), 46T chainring, 10-51 cassette and this is what I've been dreamed of, 'cos I have a RC 120 road bike and a Giant MTB and I dreamed about a bike that mixed the nimbleness of a road bike and the easy gearing of a MTB, 'cos I've used both on the tarmac of the hilly region where I live. I found it by sheer chance and I didn't know that a bike like that existed. I know a gravel bike sound like the best option for me, but I dont want/need a gravel bike, plus the gearing of most gravel bikes is quite similar to road bikes, although usually with a smaller chainring

[@desfoley6335]

I got the RC500 Disc during the first summer of the pandemic, it was my first road bike ever. I traded her in to upgrade my gear when i bought the Canyon, i really regret doing that as it was such a good bike i should have kept her as a winter hack. Outstanding value for money

[@yonglingng5640]

Any Shimano rim brake with SLR-EV (Shimano's symmetrical dual-pivot rim brake technology) strikes the balance between good braking and wallet-friendly pricing. Cane Creek eeBrakes are very expensive and can damage some frames if the bike steers right all the way hard.

My go to are Conti Grandsport Race, same price, slightly better rolling resistance than Ultrasport and great grip. I have 7500km on those and have never had a puncture. Half of those kms are on a pair of 28c on my road bike and the rear tire has barely started to square off. I even ride them on the velodrome and they perform just fine there as well.

[@stephensaines7100]

Always happy to see you promoting the Tribans. TBH, what I ride is far better, but for those who'd love to come cycling but don't because 'a good enough bike to do it is beyond my fiscal reach'...this is the answer. You don't need a superlative bike to have an exquisite day cycling.

[@Raykazen]

I was a bike courrier and loved my Continental Ultra Sport IIs, they're pretty cheap at ~20€ and they feel great. Did around 5000km on marathon +s and then I couldn't bear it anymore and did 15000km on UltraSports. I had a few punctures but its all worth it for me. Performance is amazing for the price, they're pretty much race tires. All by city bikes are on UltraSport or SuperSport and I wouldn't change it.

[@visceras7979]

I watched your reviews and went for the RC 120 as my first ever road bike to get into cycling and I'm having loads of fun. Road cycling always seemed out of reach for me so coverage of lower end components for me has been really important.

Campagnolo Potenza rim brake with a SRAM lever. This combo is so good I don't need a disk brake. And great modulation as well.

could I fit a 32 mm tyre there?

[@colingrover2039]

Claris shifter are an amazing value. Shift well, feel great, great breaking AND, no exposed shifter cables sticking out! I have upgraded a number of older, 8 speed road bikes to these shifters. So much better. Also, 9-speed Sora shifters have the same indexing spacing as early Dura-Ace 8-speed. Love them. Always hated those STI cables sticking out...

[@marks3620]

Frame pump now that’s a blast from the past. My 1990 racer had one the old spring operated long ones.

[@stephensaines7100]

Yeeeaaahhh...I ride with a backpack, and you can get a very high quality pump of a medium length in it no problem (albeit I've learned to attach a tether to keep it upright and in place). Frame pumps always seem to fall off or get in the way when carrying the bike or riding rough. Been there, done it far too often.

[@meyers6622]

Good recommendations. Agree with pedal, pump, and tire recommendations. Like how you don’t push unnecessary expensive products. KISS.

Vittoria Rubino Pro roadie tyres. For some reason, super cheap, but SUPER comfortable, puncture resistant, fast, light feeling(never weighed them). 👌🏿

[@neilcampion5265]

A boat plug! Fits nicely into the bottom of the seat tube meaning I can store my mini pump there! A quick release seat clamp also helps access it!

[@Alex-to8es]

Maybe not that cheap by if you want a road tyre with a good balance of puncture protection, grip, longevity, and is relatively light, the "Michelin Pro 4 Endurance pro v2 28mm" (needs a better name!) works really well, I commuted on Triban 500 with them for years and it made it fun while only getting punctured by large pieces of glass which wouldn't have done any good whatever the tyre. Only complaint with it was below 5oC the compound became noticably harder, but it isn't specifically a winter tyre and you can't have everything apparently!

[@davidnicholson6680]

My choices: Specialized Short Reach bars are a basically perfect shape, will work with most any stem, cheap and easy to find. YBN chains and quick-release chain links are just as good as Shimano and a fraction of the price. Domain Cycling extra long bar tape is durable, sharp looking, just the right amount of stretchy, just the right amount of sticky on the back, very tacky to grip and... extra long which makes it easy to wrap any bike.

[@mikicastan]

In 36 cm width they are extremely harsh. They are around 330 gr wich is a lot of material in such a narrow handlebar.

Excellent recommendations! I have the M520s and Claris groupset and they have been excellent. UltraSport IIIs were also a revelation. Quick, but crucially smooth. I ran them out before getting a single puncture as well. Also I love the speaker recommendation! I can't bear the idea of headphones because of safety, so most often I listen to music just through the phone - but the quality is terrible. The clip might be just what I need.

Can you please put a 500€(alu) and a 1500€(carbon) wheelset on a decathlon disc bike and compare it to the stock wheels. Maybe also do it with the cheap tire and an high end one? I know that testing 6 "bikes" is a lot of data. But would be nice to see :)

[@owensnicholas]

I used M520 pedals on my road bike for the first couple thousand miles. For a lot of people, they’re probably a great choice. On my mtb I use the M8120. The larger platform is 1000% worth the extra cost. Clipping in is so much easier.

[@felixblock1542]

The bbb flex ribbon handlebar tape is really fantastic. I also ride it on my - at that time - really expensive top-end bikes because it is simply a really, really good tape and, above all, lasts an extremely long time. In addition, it can actually be rewound and reused very often. Really a no-brainer, more expensive tape is basically a waste of money. If you want "more style", you can also go for the carbon version, but the Flex Ribbon has significantly more grip.

[@wandae6352]

I got the sora version of the claris, definitely got worth its value, From adjustable lever reach and lever orientation( hidden in the top part) for bike fit addict, 2by 9 speed, And somewhat ergo long handle and upward bullhorn like body that fits( for me) rather than the ltwoo ones And upshift and downshift are seperate lever in thesame orientation same with 105, tiagra etc ( cable version) Unlike other thumb shift for release which makes it hard to use when on drops And the other is on thesame lever which cause sometimes to miss shift to release instead of tension.

[@phillipgoffin]

Great video Francis. I've gone onto purchase the JBL speaker and the bar tape. I already have the Maripossa bar end plugs, excellent product, sometimes I find the bars a little to wide for the plug but I just wrap some electric tape for the perfect fit. 🍌

[@JDCarnin]

I had very good results with the Towild BR800 light off of Aliexpress. Cheap, works great, sturdy and can be mounted hanging or standing so you can save space on your handlebars with a dual mount. And the Battery is a standard 18650, so you can change it if it breaks or take a spare on with you on longer night rides. Very nice lamp for that money. Had worse ones from name brands that were 4-5x the price.

[@Cyrenetes]

The Specialized Short Reach is even shorter and shallower than the Deda RHM and it comes in 360mm. Reflective tape is certainly a cheap but excellent cycling product. More aero, lighter, visible, and cheaper than actual bike reflectors. 1€ total of red and silver tape is more than enough to fully equip a bike with front, rear, and wheel reflectors.

Instead of that JBL Clip you can also get some cylindrical speaker like a Sony SRS-XB100, Soundcore Mini 3 or UE Boom that have a diameter around 3 inches/75mm and put it into your bottle cage; on my trekking bike I got myself a Dockin D Mini (with 86mm diameter it's thicker) and put it into my plastic SKS bottle cage, you have to slightly bend open it to get it into the bottle cage but then it fits very tight so no risk of falling out or any rattling; it's a little muffled because I got a Vaude frame bag directly above it but it's still sufficient for some in-ride-entertainment. Recently got a pair of Ultra Sport III 28-622 tyres (the bike had originally a Conti Grand Prix and Grand Prix 4000S both 23-622) and they're great, however it was very tight on the rear frame (tyre clearance on the front fork seems to be a little larger), the burr on the middle was quickly gone, didn't hear grinding noises but recently with some autumn debris it began to grind, so I removed it and put on a 25-622 (not a Conti but a Michelin Pro 4 Endurance at the moment).

On pedals, I like the PD-ME700 from Shimano more than the M520. They're a few more dollars/pounds, and I assume heavier, but in a pinch you can ride them in normal shoes. Not ride across Vietnam, but down to the store or a casual 20 minute ride at lunch is no problem. I've tried flat-spd combo pedals (I have a pair of MD324 on my dad bike), but it's a hassle to get the right side up for whatever shoe I'm wearing if I'm stopping a lot.

[@georgiaschofield9596]

Buying a gravel bike in france the Triban's were roughly €700 - €850 and Decathlon were not very helpful. Instead I went to a local family run store and got a Specialized Diverge E5 - just the base model. The shop gave me a free postural fitting and helped me to build the bike. With all the accessories - helmet, pedals, lock, lights, bottle cage, pump, bottle, mudguard, I think we ended up at about €1400 total with top end after-care service. I think the same would have cost me around €1100-€1200 all up at decathlon but without the support. I also think for future proofing the upgrades I might get or protecting resale value, going with the brand name bike was worthwhile too.

[@dperreno]

Does the Topeak frame pump come with a "nub" or some sort of strap to secure the end at the head tube? Otherwise, that end of the pump will just slide down the head tube and rest at the junction with the down tube. Back in the day the frame pump would be carried along the seat tube which has acute angle lugs at both ends to hold it in place. Aside from that, if you are running tubeless on your road bike, a frame pump is actually great, as it can pretty easily get to 60+ psi and very quickly. Getting up to 100+ psi was always a challenge with them, but now you don't have to!

My cheap bike product I love and use every year is my FWE long sleeve jersey. It was about €30 and my mates always mistake it for rapha.

These are nice recommendations besides the fact that my road bike is worth only 100 pounds. It’s a decathlon RC100. Great bike btw. I’m enjoying it a lot
