I think I've watched this video 10 times already. This is truly my dream bike build.

[@LReclusa8]

The best part of the video was the new bike day portion. It’s so exciting to meet your new squeeze.

[@TwistedWheels]

Haha agree. I was as excited to give him the bike too 😃

[@sampaoja]

I wish i have friends like you guys..

[@SayMcGillicuddy]

The big smile on Greg's face at the handover.....that had to make you feel pretty good. Excellent build man, well done 👊🏼

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks, Allan! Best feeling indeed! :)

[@yussanid]

10:09 looks good on 700x32 tire :), the remaining clearance is not too big

[@vincentssoul2369]

damn, that joyful moment 9:33 ... ! seems he's rucksack heavier than bike , great job!

[@TwistedWheels]

Haha true :)

[@rogocara]

Your videos are another level... I appreciate it so much. Thank you for the content.

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks for the kind words! Appreciate it 👍🏼

[@skryukov1]

Ваще красава, Олег! Качественный видос, заставка в начале, душевная концовка... Очень круто! 🔥

[@TwistedWheels]

Спасибо, Серёг 👊🏼

[@ivince3gs]

C’est vraiment un plaisir de vidéos!! La classe et la simplicité

[@TwistedWheels]

Merci, Vincent!

[@danalec4742]

It is amazing to make the people happy. Lovely bike for a person which knows what they want. It's a gentle touch to the men soul. I really wish to be surprised like Greg one day. Well done, молодец! 😄

[@TwistedWheels]

Спасибо! 😃

[@ManityDude]

Such an enjoyable producer, love the content and it's made me go out and get a gravel bike!

[@TwistedWheels]

:) Thanks

[@turboplopp]

Awesome video and man, what a gorgeous bike&wheels!

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks mate!

[@hombrealagua]

Great video! love the head banging haha... I just got a pre-owned 3T Exploro LTD from a good friend who used it max ten times for mainly gravel riding, it's 2018 or 19 but looks almost new. He gave me his two set of wheels, gravel and road, I'm excited to try it out as road bike, already used it in gravel / single track and it's amazing. My road love is a Stelbel Antenore steel bike, but this opens up a new era of a one bike to do it all, also a return to carbon frame. Let's see!!... Cheers from México!

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks Hector :) Looks like you got a great bike from your friend! I’m sure you’ll love it 👍🏼

[@baratakusumah8735]

been waiting for this set up since I follow your channel 😍

[@TwistedWheels]

Sorry I made you waiting for so long! 😁

[@Justonegear100]

Super cool vid man. Cheers

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks. You are welcome!)

[@AdamKietLy]

Great video and very entertaining too! Was that the Exploro "Team" frame?

[@Josue-411]

I like the new intro and the video was great!

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks mate, glad you liked it ✌🏼

[@fucktheworld1207]

It's always the right way, us Blighty 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 folks know what's up.....

[@brody5211]

So a very race able bike on road and gravel with a change of wheels ? Love to see a comparison to the Strada duo on same wheelset . You wonder does it give up much to it

[@_________4292]

Miss You:-) and Your content

[@bikepacking330]

O my God. Very Cool

[@simon.voggeneder]

Great build! It would be great if you added what you paid for the parts and the whole build. I know it is a sensitive topic but I find price at least as interesting as weight. I hope you find your own aero gravel frame soon!

[@TwistedWheels]

I wouldn’t put the price unless this is the bike I’m building for myself, but even in this case I would hesitate. Like you said, it’s a sensitive topic. And also, my wife is watching my videos 😂

[@moritzraschbichler1413]

how tall are you? and how tall is your friend? bike looks amazing!!

[@BikepackingExplorer]

Great video, would love to know how much you paid for the beautiful frame. I need to up my bargain hunting game 👌

[@s3performance]

Interested to hear your thoughts on the wheel choice. Light Bicycle have so many depths and widths, I am interested to hear how you choose the depth and width for this project?

[@TwistedWheels]

Depth was chosen to match the wide tubing on the frame - anything lower and it would look out of place, anything deeper and it would be too heavy. Width: at the time of ordering these, lightbicycle didn’t release their WR line up with 25mm internal width yet, otherwise I would have ordered those. But 21mm is also more than enough for the road use. For gravel, Gregg has now bought WR35 lightbicycle rims.

[@s3performance]

@@TwistedWheels thanks for the reply, totally agee the Explore needs deep rims for 'visual balance'. WR35 will be awesome for the second wheels. What a great setup.

[@vansnguyen]

Great video! Exactly the build that I want to do myself. Is your friend using it as his only bike?

[@TwistedWheels]

Thanks. He also has a cheaper aluminium gravel bike for winter and bikepacking, but you can definitely use 3T as a do-it-all bike

[@vovantus926]

Noooice!

[@d19nl]

fast bike

[@danflanagan9536]

what's the ride quality like? stiff? compliant?

[@NickPavlenko]

Колеса сам собрал?)

[@TwistedWheels]

Нет, wheel builder в лондоне

[@CurdPattysRoll]

Really beautiful, but the tyres look too skinny

[@TwistedWheels]

They are 32s, so not skinny at all in road cycling terms. But given that this frameset can take much wider tyres, I agree, 40s would look more brutal. They will be significantly slower on the road though...

[@racecompact0386]

Dura ace disc? Why?

[@TwistedWheels]

Because they are the best looking CL rotors on the market
