CYCLOCROSS BIKE CHECK | With Puck Pieterse and Lauren Molengraaf

[@brippie]

This is why a watch this channel. Detailed technical advice from two very serious professionals. And very educational, because along with the technical stuff we also get to wonder "what is a baarmoeder?" and get surprised in google translate. It's these pearls of information that make this channel stand out from the rest and why, for me, a new Puck Pieterse video is an auto-watch.

[@dennisbean-larson2403]

Plenty funny too

[@keithevans7996]

Really enjoyed your bike check. Also your sense of humour,!! And once again thanks for speaking English for all your English fans, I really appreciate that.

[@_____mmik]

Love the way puck roasted Lauren in every situation possible XDDD

[@andycanning8425]

❤ fantastic. Laughed out loud several times. “Chain is important”.

[@charliesullivan4304]

Foreshadowing today race, when she tried it with and without the chain and proved that putting the chain back on was a winning move.

[@tibordelgrosso]

What a magic piece of filmmaking. Edits 10/10 😍

[@Dannyzelck]

Lauren’s bike is absolutely stunning.

[@bleigh6562]

This is the best bike check video with the best riders too ... This is what is needed to get more people into cycling. You are a ROCKSTAR

[@scooter2163]

both of em!

[@realshaoran4514]

1:06 Good to know that Puck's pedals are the correct place, I was worried for a second there 😂

[@jill6890]

It's nice to see I have my pedals on the same spot as you do

[@kencymone660]

🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the laughter and the check your bikes. I really like your sense of humour!

[@melonusk234]

Well done Puck!! Definitely the best content of all the KZbin CX Pro's out there and you're pretty damn good at riding too!! Your sense of humour is a big hit too - very dry, Love It!!

[@scooter2163]

all in good fun, Puck rocks!

[@SpeedyChix]

Thanks for the English to help those of us who can't translate much. Awesome video and fun. Great to see each one. Watching the women's racing this year has been fantastic!!

[@Andy_ATB]

Chain & derailleur are important.....ha ha And so are brakes........ brilliant stuff from you two!! Keep it up...

[@KGKabira]

I must say I've never seen a nicer set of pedals that are placed in the most conventional location of a two-wheeled device.

[@danoontjeh123]

This is definitely the most serious bike inspection video on youtube, amazing stuff

[@p.g.reitsma7245]

You girls are hilarious! I especially like the teasing. Well, although I like the color splash paint job on your Canyon, I really love the electric blue paint on Lauren's Cube. Her bar tape is cool too. Puck, can you tell me about the cool white watch you're wearing please. As usual, my wishes for you both are...good start, good legs and a BIG smile.

[@garth8912]

Just hilarious! Keep going! Can't believe I am such a fan.

[@CharlesWestinghIII]

"juniors can't have nice stuff" brilliant comment! Keep it up!

[@abedfo88]

Got to love the "lord of the mills" Molengraafs Cube.

[@vinniamsterdam700]

Great fun, thanks Lauren and Puck.

[@Tocik666]

"I have a chain" and the following "millionair" question cracked me really hard :D :D Good luck in next races, and with chasing those grams!

[@dirkwest6378]

Your presentation is refreshing. You ladies are not only good on the bike, you're intelligent as well; being humorous about, normally, serious matters requires the mental power to step aside and look at yourself from a hilarious perspective. Good luck at the World Championships. This video made me a fan. - Greetings from Utrecht, The Netherlands.

[@zimboy777]

educated fun - Puck you’re a natural - once you finish racing you have a career in commentary and video 👍

[@paulbradford6475]

Wonderful interview with you both. I detect a bit of the wiseguy attitude from Puck. I like it. And good result, all things considered, from yesterdays race, Puck. Well done.

[@aoe76]

Puck You are a rockstar 😂. Shout out from 🇩🇰. Now i also have to cheer for Lauren in the future.😊 keep up. With You wether You win or loose 👍

[@reusserfarm1]

Love both bikes but for sure the Canyon is the bike of choice with you riding it Puck, I love both your sense of humor. Keep keeping it light and enjoying what you do. Special thanks for sharing this in English !!

[@jchaus5]

I love both bikes; and both riders. Puck, you have make me a fan of Lauren!

[@gup8175]

You two crack me up! Thx for sharing

[@DigInMate]

Please make more goofing around videos like this.

[@cyclingchantal]

I love that Canyon paintwork 😍

[@GeekonaBike]

I'm w/ Puck, all my breaks do is slow me down

[@greengiant2732]

In the decent that weight can push you down.

[@donadams5094]

Rapidly becoming a favorite channel!

[@igormathys6577]

Puck geweldige fietst ook de mooiste, geweldig om jullie bezig te zien en geweldige veldrijdster

[@Christian-pw5ws]

This video is the best and funniest bike check I have ever seen. I had to smile/laugh several times. Cheers.

[@jeremycyclingbelgium]

Your bike is definitly the best ! Like the style with the splash effect 🤩

[@jonathan763]

Two great bikes and comedians. 🚴

[@umgssda]

I agree with you, I also like my bike best. It has a bell, so I can play music, when I pass others. :)

[@mandretti2381]

Most admiration for you both. iWatch from America, even with the limited English spoken videos I watch all of your videos. Your enthusiasm and knowledge of the sport is awesome, so keep it up. Best of luck in world's no matter what level you decide to participate in.

[@O_CANILLAS]

International fans who do not understand Dutch would like to have more videos in English or English subtitles. You have to understand that Dutch is not easy for everyone even if some of us try to study a little bit 🙈. But still the best content from the inside of a CX race And good luck with the elite girls at the world championship.

[@georgetapley776]

"Juniors can't have nice things." You had me busting on that...considering I started racing as a junior some 40+ years ago. Then Lauren is full of herself...and the UCI like me to have brakes. Thank you for having fun...too many people miss the fun part.

[@robhendrikx2198]

And Lauren coming right back "It's because I actually know my name".

[@beuck]

you are both rock stars! 😎😄

[@jk6561]

They are both lovely bikes!

[@SomeUserInternet]

One of the best bike reviews I've ever seen - GCN learn from this! I was laughing so much 🤣🤣🤣 And then when Puck mentioned that her bike has a chain 🤣🤣🤣 Keep making the videos please!

[@Team81MTB]

I love the splatter paint job on the canyon but I like the cube equally as well. Both really nice machines. 👍

[@SD...]

Another great video PP/LM (and thank you for the (perfect) English). Love the 'Jackson Pollock' inspired Canyon!.

[@flyinpig]

Thank you Puck! This made my day.

[@smccounts]

Another awesome video. More bikes and kit comparisons please. 🤩👏👏👏👏👏

[@maarten7452]

So cool (yet again) 👌 And of course: the Canyon is no. 1! 🙌

[@huibgeertsema6195]

Verschil moet er zijn, maar beide fietsen zijn geweldig. Jullie verdienen dit materiaal en Lauren, jij gaat zeker een fiets als die van Puck krijgen.

[@janpaul___p]

De nieuwe Puck Pieterse aka Lauren Molengraaf! 😉

[@flavio.t]

very funny and interesting video! both frames are very cool but the abstract one is the best! "I've the chain! it's very important" 😂😂😂

[@paulinak.3048]

Sponsorship advertisment at it's best! Great job!

[@johnpaulstez]

Excellent video!! Hacking on each other, love it! The stem spacer sticking up……..it’s called the “convertible”. Mode 1 Slammed stem “cool kid” group ride mode. Mode 2, add spacer for “old guy, bad back mode”. Mode 2 only in use when you won’t be seen by anyone. 😹

[@bikecrash611]

Sure, who needs brakes anyway! They only slow you down 😅 Brilliant! More English videos please 🇮🇪

[@ravingcyclist624]

FUN bike descriptions. Impressive jerseys !

[@michaelcallaghan4336]

Surely the next step is a Lauren/Puck cooking show

[@frankforty9]

puck your my new favorite !

[@jochenhartz9480]

Laurens bike because of the beautyful color 😍

[@race-partners]

This is awesome. Pedals, where they usually are. Juniors can't have nice things.

[@jimmysmith4116]

Puck, you are a hoot! Keep it funny!

[@deFruitberg]

Puck, are you sure you need two wheels? One wheel would reduce the weight further on.

[@MarcovandenHout]

I like Puck's bike best because it has a chain and I also have a chain on my bike so that gives a bit of a connection.

[@valk5045]

Don't forget the pedals that are on the place that pedals normally are.

[@donjohnson487]

Thank you for the video. Both of you are fantastic 💪🏻 Awesome bikes 🚴🏻 It would be cool if you after each race could tell what tyres you had on and what gearing you were using 😊

[@florianbuchele8421]

Awesome Video, not the usual tech talk about bikes. Very refreshing! Love that Canyon 🖤

[@florianbuchele8421]

Also your math is slightly off - 100rpm with 36/34 is more like 11-12km/h (depending on the exact diameter of the wheel) Sorry my engineering brain could not let that one go unnoticed 😅

[@tibordelgrosso]

Sorry my math was a bit of, but everyone who uses a 34 in the back looks like they’re going 4 km/h

[@florianbuchele8421]

@@tibordelgrosso Yeah, definitly - especially if you are going through mud or sand...

[@JensiW79]

more more more!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing :)

[@anthonyharris483]

I've been running chainless for several years now because it's too much weight🤣

[@davidyoung-nb2pu]

Puck it looks like my 7 year old grandson has painted your back. lol :) great entertainment well done both of you.

[@MarrafaCycling]

Canyon of course! ❤

[@MichaelMachado2]

That blue is sooooooooooo beautiful

[@philipplorenz9485]

Laurens paintjob is great. I'd choose the Cube with Pucks wheels.

[@davidoverland440]

Loved it thanks for speaking in English … loving the crack

[@johnbarry3614]

OMG, please more of this for your English speaking fans in America, you are so 🤣🤣🤣

[@mtbikesam68]

For the love of gosh please please more of this content. make cycling fun again

[@iggyledges]

Thanks for showing!!

[@FuchsHorst]

GCN could learn a lot from this video.

[@johnwong6016]

“Juniors can’t have nice stuff…” but both bikes are awesome.

[@edwin.jansen]

I am so glad you know what the essential parts of a bike are Puck! :P 🙂 And I think someone had a field day splattering the paint on your bike. Wondering what 'technique' they used for that. Probably a very 'creative' one. I like your bike better although I do like Lauren's stars!

[@charlesingram1142]

I love you both, but that shinny blue is boss

[@blazacrew]

Beast of the bike ( both )

[@R_Haraldsson]

Best Bike Check ever!

[@RedfieldmediaCoUk]

Best bike check on KZbin

[@ukgeoff4403]

Puck, are you the coolest person on the planet?

[@tongotongo3143]

Good professional bike check. I still think they would benefit from flat pedals more than they would loose though.

[@RobertScottAudio]

Die vlekjes op je frame is geen zicht, Puck. Anders leuke bikes!

[@phillippitts6294]

Awesome, I have a chain too .

[@geertwessels6733]

Thank you for the video graet Job.👍🌷

[@ChrisCapoccia]

🤣 also chain, very important 🤣

[@neilashton9459]

“Pedals where pedals should go” - LoL

[@scottharrison5971]

Super Fun! Thank you!!

[@Jeroen_K]

After your hopefully long and prolific cycling careers, please consider standup comedy! Priceless content.

[@theobolt250]

Of course, elites dissing the juniors. All in good fun. Add a goofy moment and an absurd quiz question and... hey! Done! Oh, almost forgot to mention, also a few data about really expensive cross bikes.

[@puckfan220]

I fell slightly in love with Puck when she stuck her leg out in the off camber section at Diegem, but now she’s described herself as a nihilist I’m head over heels.

[@MattMeskill]

"My bike has a chain." 😆😅🤣😂

[@barryhambly7711]

Your a bit crazy Puck but I like it 😍

[@tibordelgrosso]

I like the Stevens in the back the most

[@budejovice2]

Which bike is the best? Certainly both, because of their colour and because you like them.

[@ziltoidtheomniscient1349]

Прости, но байк Лорен мне понравился больше... наверное всё дело в Ceramicspeed😁. Отличное видео, отличный монтаж и наконец-то на английском. Жду новые видео на твоём канале и гонок с твоим участием: Вы с ван Эмпель для меня как ван дер Пул и ван Аерт)

[@Calfasaurus]

Hilarious 😂 great video and editing. Can’t wait for more.

[@davidheffernan3829]

Lauren's bike looks prettier, love the metallic blue

[@thegreasedscotsman]

Freehub sound check!

[@adamgaisser1875]

Great video! I'm surprised to see a double chainring up front. I would have thought everyone would go to a single chainring like mountain biking.

[@tongotongo3143]

You can’t ride 1X system fast on a quickly changing terrain from one extreme to the other.

[@neilbardsley]

I don't understand why many MTBs have gone to single chain ring. It's nice to have a wider range. However, I guess, pros can gear for courses while if you have to buy your bike then you don't catch your chain ring every ride?

[@TheEnergy143]

It's sponsor-driven. Shimano Dura Ace is a 2 ring setup. You'll see SRAM-sponsored riders riding 1X.
