CHINA CYCLING at SEA OTTER: East meets West special.

Sea Otter is a pretty rad experience. There's a bunch of mainstream media covering the boring stuff, so I try to find the things that have a bit of an east meets west theme. We have a German SRM power meter with Chinese Cybrei cranks crossover. We have multiple western brands in partnerships with Chinese factories, etc, etc.

That's awesome that you've made it over to California for the 2024 Sea Otter, Joe! It's not as 'blingy' and cutting edge as that shows that you're used to in Asia, but it's a cool bike culture and a good change of pace for you, and change is always good. Hope you have fun there! Cheers!

[@ChinaCycling]

Yeah, the people have been super friendly and the show has a great vibe.

[@kidShibuya]

Sava are going to sell a ton of those.

[@savabikes888]

Thank you for featuring our EX7-SL in your video! We're excited to see it showcased and are glad you find its features worth highlighting. Looking forward to more of your great content and insights!

[@daviddjerassi]

YOUR A ONE OFF AND A GREAT ASSET TO ALL CYCLISTS THANKS FOR THE VIDEO AND KEEP SAFE.

[@ChinaCycling]

Thanks for watching!

[@seraph4581]

That Sava Alloy bike is beautiful

[@ChinaCycling]

Nae bad, right?

[@firasmaruf5045]

I saw it in a bike show in Toronto about month and a half ago and couldn’t believe it was alloy. The one I saw had no hint of welds on it.

[@treyquattro]

wow, haven't caught up with Charles since he was in Girona! Great to-the-point-no-messing-about content as usual Joe!

[@jasoneiserich8638]

Hey Joe, Thanks for all of your content! Nice to meet you at Sea Otter! I was the guy with the Elves bike 🙂

[@ChinaCycling]

Hey hey!

[@fredcouture1158]

Nice to see the King of the South Shore of Montreal Charles Ouimet

[@icking86]

Super awesome to meet you! Thanks for the shout out and photo 😊

[@ChinaCycling]

Haha, keep on rocking!

[@BreakawayB]

Thanks for the insight, Joe!

[@ChinaCycling]

Thanks for watching!

[@michaelnewman4302]

According to GP LLama, the SRM power meters may not be very good. Ouimet quoting Chris Miller cracked me up.

[@glennicol1361]

The aluminium Sava is rather impressive!

[@global_nomad.]

good to see you getting around some more...

[@ChinaCycling]

Thanks 👍

[@gvtrivia6780]

hahaha love the cockpit science lol

[@ChinaCycling]

8k high def cockpit shots...

[@TheCyclesport]

Best of luck Joe- China Cycling with your own efforts today in the Road Bike Circuit Race. I know you will be flying down the Cork-Screw downhill section. @pandapodium

[@ChinaCycling]

That corkscrew was great fun! Too bad I corner like an oil tanker... haha

[@rokitprops]

@@ChinaCycling It's not your fault the bike looks like a fish, moves like a fish, steers like a cow... 😁

[@TwoTroutCreations]

Those Berd spokes!!!! Need more info and a custom build with those

[@dazzatm6028]

Good mix of content 👍

[@ChinaCycling]

Thank you 🙌

[@mikebrewer1346]

Ha! Loved the bromance montage

[@bengt_axle]

3:49 Content de te voir à Sea Otter Charles. Je vais surement regarder le pédalier Magene puisqu'il est offert en 165mm que tu as présenté. Salutations.

[@invisiblescout6335]

That is an impressive design for an alu frame. The Dream make is one of the coolest looking bikes out there imo and I'd love to have one like billionaires have supercars just sitting in their garages. I commend them on doing something different at least. I wonder if they made it with the intention to actually sell it and make money off it or just to show it off and get eyes on the brand. I'd never spend money on it if I actually wanted a bike to ride. Will you be at Shangai bike show too?

[@ChinaCycling]

Yeah, I was impressed that was alloy. And yes, I'll be at Shanghai.

[@kalanihines]

Interesting about Boyd. So, are they working in the new Time factory?

[@joehiatt1992]

Any word IF LTwoo is gonna do a rim version,I just bought the Er9 & Erx for 2 bikes & they work great ,wanna get the rim version IF they come out,wanna stick with L2

[@hyperbikie]

Good to meet you at the LTWOO booth, I was the one trying to guess your FTP!

[@ChinaCycling]

Hey dude :) Yeah, lots of KZbinrs there then

[@CarsandBikes]

Too bad i didnt get a chance to meet u in person. Can you cover Berd wheels?

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

Twitter had 7005 bikes for a long time, but that Sava is good looking.

[@AtikurIslam968]

Please review Sensah empire pro hrd groupset

[@olo398]

welcome to my state Joe. Have fun. Did you see any chinese brands down there (not booths but just riders etc)?

[@ChinaCycling]

There's a small bit of the Chinese contingent down here. I've bumped into some people who I didnt expect to see out here, hhaa.

[@87togabito]

Taiwan bike show: look we built a bicycle with a computer that can tell you the answer to the universe! American Sea otter: our rim brake bicycle is made from industrial age metal

[@dodoslovensko]

Titanium super bond 3d printed titanium frames . Is there any ,,place,, they visit in north east USA ? thank you .

[@rickmancini772]

Is SRAM there? With the new Red groupset?

[@ChinaCycling]

They're here, no groupset tho.

[@Hambini]

I'm laughing my rear end off at NOBL. I guess they don't know what that means.

[@ChinaCycling]

Hahaha, Noble, noble. ;) ;)

[@Hambini]

I'm thinking nobble

[@maplestory514]

I want to give you test Onirri pedals the weight is 200grams and price is $83

[@DR_1_1]

About the "cheap" Sava, I got a Cube with S 105 + GRX rear derailleur, aluminium frame and wheels, for 1450 € ...

[@ervin7178]

Did the cube have aero tube shapes?

[@DR_1_1]

@@ervin7178 GRX and aero tubes? Could be fun, it's a CX... my "road" bike has more profiled frame and fork, yet I can't notice a clear advantage at my speeds anyway...

[@wtfiswiththosehandles]

@@ervin7178 I think the main question would be "how much time/money did you have to spend on your Cube to make it rideable?". I kinda like Cube, they seem good value, but 5 out of 5 that me and my friends owned had assembly botches.

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

Charles Ouimet almost has no Quebec accent left, sad, he has the best bike tho 🎉😂

[@ChinaCycling]

Haha, the Quebec accent comes out after a few beers... ;)

[@rev_dude]

6:04 did this man just describe Dura-Ace as "good enough ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

[@shinghongip9460]

I never know there are Chinese brands present in seaotter, IMOA the rest of the KZbin bike influencers chose not to cover them for years

[@trisupersport1478]

Друг мой вот увидишь элит придёт скоро со своими рамами для велоспорта

[@antonpeterson1245]

Question: Why do people love to say that a crank spider powermeter is dual sided without stating the fact that it estimates (normally) the left side and therefore not true dual sided?

[@ChinaCycling]

You're not wrong. Blame marketing departments.

[@treyquattro]

it'd be great to get your input on what other bike channels are fretting about at the moment: the implosion of the bike industry. Seems to me that you have a different - and more optimistic - outlook. I'm wondering if what other cycling channels are worrying about is the collapse of Western brands. Seems that China is starting to eat the Western companies' lunch quite significantly, in light of their greed. The impression I have is that the market in China is very healthy, mostly via your channel and maybe others like Peak Torque and Hambini who both have access to Chinese company products on a direct basis. But you're actually there, full-time.

[@ChinaCycling]

Yeah, I have some opinions on it all... It would be a good chat, maybe I'll do it with GC Performance, as he's more retail side...

[@ballibhai03]

I need one cycle for me any body give me 1 cycle this type I am very poor

[@Democratsknowbidensucks]

went to buy a sava bike but only 56 cm?? no 60+!!!!

[@ChinaCycling]

:( Guess they gotta work on that
