Lauf Seigla - box to trails.

[@goozman85]

A Proper Douglas State Forest, new bike, Rock Garden beat down!! I love it!! 👍

[@joelrichards4965]

Thank you, great video. This is the kind of riding I like to do and I have been thinking of going to a one-bike for all quiver. The Lauf Seigla is my top candidate and your video helped to confirm this. Thank you again.

[@s_a4022]

Glad that I found this video - I am considering Lauf and this is exactly where I plan to be riding it.

[@jamessankey01]

Would love to see a few more videos of this lauf! I'm undecided.

[@stephenplays676]

I have this video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/h52pdmuHab55i8k and another of the Lauf ripping down some gravel roads.

[@madcapper6]

Great video. It's kinda strange that the black and red paint is the only one you don't have to pay a premium for like the other colors but I actually think it looks the best out of all of them. Beautiful looking bike.

[@Shalebot]

Stephen, thanks for the video - Any advice or updates about the bike and how you like it?

[@osceolaseminole5596]

I'm interested too.

[@アメリカ田舎生活]

I'm planning to buy a Seigla. The question is with the rigid fork or the Grit fork. Did you feel like losing power on the climbing when the suspension was at work?

[@thigorsoutdoors]

Sthephen tudo bem com você? Essa suspensão Seigla faz alguma diferença?

[@osceolaseminole5596]

Really nice video. Well done. I have the weekend warrior with the true grit fork. Would this be worth upgrading to? Which model did you choose?

[@siblynx]

Great video. Good skills on the downhills, you must know those trails :). Will you stick wit the ramblers. What would be tire choice going bigger. I think its difficult. My choices are down to Thunder Burts or Race Kings. 2.1.

[@stephenplays676]

Hey thanks. I haven't looked into bigger tires at all, will ride the 40's for now. But I'll check out the ones you mentioned.

[@GeorgiaPopplewell]

This fellow Lauf owner loved seeing this! Brought back good memories of the Seigla's infancy. :)

[@stephenplays676]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@joshuakeith8194]

Wondering if you could offer some insight on the sizing of the bike? I am looking at picking one up and find myself at the top end of the small and bottom end of the medium with no clear answer.

[@stephenplays676]

Joshua, I’m 5’7.5” and a small is great.

[@AlanjamesFrame]

Their sizing is somewhat different to other manufacturers. I'm 5'11" and with some trepidation ordered a medium which is the recommended frame size for me. Pleased to report that it fits perfectly. (For comparison all my other bikes have been a size L or 55/56cm frame)

[@vilavg3657]

Great video, Is it possible to make this bike more upright in terms of riding position with some tweaks or upgrades?

[@stephenplays676]

Yes, absolutely, it has a standard stem so there is a lot of flexibility there.

[@vilavg3657]

Thank you

[@vilavg3657]

Hey - thanks for posting the vid. Do you think this is good for a total noob beginner couch potato? I’m split between getting this and getting a low end to start. I wanna take up cycling seriously to work on my fitness

[@stephenplays676]

Thanks for watching, and commenting! I do recommend investing in a quality bike. You will have a better experience with it, and the added incentive of not letting an expensive bike sit unused. The Lauf is a great bike, but they designed it for racing/experience cyclists. You may want to consider a hard tail mountain bike. That’s kind of a do it all bike. You will be more comfortable, and it will more stable on gravel. Do some Google searches and good luck!

[@vilavg3657]

@@stephenplays676 thanks Stephen. I’ll save the Lauf for the future. Going with a specialized Sirrus X which can do a bit of everything. Much appreciate your counsel

[@shane4176]

What was your bike before this? And which did you like better? Thanks great video btw

[@stephenplays676]

A Felt cyclocross bike, with rim brakes. Great bike but I took a beating on rough gravel.

[@mitchlabrador]

Mine arrives in a few days, same color. Fun video to watch. Can’t wait for mine. Thanks

[@ivyinvestor]

Nice posting, Stephen. Was that the Weekend Warrior Wireless? What do you think of the included power meter? What was your opinion on the gear range for climbing? Cheers.

[@stephenplays676]

Thanks for watching. The power meter is great, and yes it's the wireless version....great value in my opinion. Climbing seemed fine, but I haven't been on a sustained steep climb yet. I'm sure I'll consider a larger range cassette when it is time to replace this one, but I hope to ride all the stock items until they wear out.

[@scottamy404]

Have you had another gravel bike or is this your first? I'm asking because I'm very close to buying a Seigla to replace my Niner gravel bike, but I'm a little concerned the Lauf is more like a mountain bike than a gravel bike even though it's marketed as a gravel race bike. My friends that have the True Grit model love them.

[@stephenplays676]

Hi, thanks for watching the video. I had a Felt XC cyclocross bike. The Lauf is definitely a fast gravel bike! The road feels smoother, and I feel more in control, so I'm more aggressive on curves and descents.

[@introverse1991]

Nice ride. Now I need a better camera, my current camera is so shaky!

[@gc641]

Nice

[@vmxd]

Do you ride Medium size frame or L ? I am 5.11 / 31 inseam debating between M or L :)

[@stephenplays676]

I’m 5’7+and it’s a small, which can fit up to 5’9” they say. I’d recommend going with a medium and having a more seat post compliance.

[@vindogg80]

How you liking it after a few months? Looking at one myself.

[@stephenplays676]

Still very happy with it!

[@totalglitch]

Did your bike come with 40c tires or 45?

[@stephenplays676]

Came with 40’s. I like them, but next set will probably be wider.

[@totalglitch]

@@stephenplays676 they are supposed to come with 45s. I called about that mix up

[@AlanjamesFrame]

@@totalglitch They came with 40's after the initial launch (due to supply issues I believe). If you check their website it confirms that it was always the intention to go to 45's as standard, which should be the case for all new ones now.

[@polarfoxbrrr3910]

Looks not fun at all.
