RACING ON A BUDGET: You do not need DISC BRAKES and an EXPENSIVE BIKE | Oompa Loompa Cycling 196

[@OompaLoompaCycling]

[@eleni2554]

Another very entertaining interview. Love the fact that no matter if your guests are on super expensive bikes or the lower end of the market they all have an interesting story to tell. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏿

[@OompaLoompaCycling]

Thank you for watching 🙏🏻

[@OldSchoolPowerlifting]

I see rim brake i watch it

[@ariffau]

Ya, but when you rim brake mafias see newer rim brakes getting launched, you don’t buy them. Thus, companies stopped offering them and then you all start whining on the internet 🤪

[@OldSchoolPowerlifting]

@ LOL 😂 funniest comment i have read. Are you alright ?

[@ariffau]

@@OldSchoolPowerlifting perfectly fine, mate 👌 I also have both rim brakes and disc brakes for road

[@OldSchoolPowerlifting]

@ me too dude. Love both of em. I am old so kinda slow with all the updates with disc.

[@jeremyemilio9378]

Rim for road disc for offroad

Good episode. Proof the legs & lungs are things that matter most. Oompa, you need to try Bromo KOM. It’s gonna be fun. By the way, you can ask him to try some gravel bike with fat tires, or even MTB, as he kept on shaking → post-ride syndrome on skinny tires, perhaps? 😁

[@OompaLoompaCycling]

Hahahaha he’s shaking even with 30c tires on! Imagine if he rode 25c 120psi. It’ll be a tsunami

[@totallynotascammer]

yes I did bromo KOM in 2019. it's crazy and i will be looking to do one of the mainsepeda KOMs for this year. nothing more humbling than seeing a masters on a bike that belongs in the museum, going way faster than you can

[@abhimawa1]

@@totallynotascammer glad you like it 😊 Bring Oompa along!

[@HeyHey-qp9eh]

He loook like Malaysia singer Ah Niu 😂🎉

[@chroniclesofalazyriderbyde9504]

Bro.. rule 1 about replacing tires... never swap the front to the back. Change both at the same time. Reason because the wear line is different between the front at back and may cause you to loose grip when cornering.. remember that you steer your front wheel more than your bike where it runs straight most of the time... 😉

[@OompaLoompaCycling]

i don't corner hairpins in SG... i only go straight and flat >.

[@chroniclesofalazyriderbyde9504]

@OompaLoompaCycling bro... not at hairpin.. even just turning at a junction on wet roads will have you go under... seen this a couple of times in my life with my friends...

[@OompaLoompaCycling]

@@chroniclesofalazyriderbyde9504 ok bro thanks for the tip and sharing with us... ride safe! :) HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU

[@chroniclesofalazyriderbyde9504]

@OompaLoompaCycling you too bro! Happy New Year!!!

[@giornosayno]

Where can I find the link for the 290mm handlebar? Also, I noticed that you used LTWOO shifters with a 105 rear derailleur, but the bike in the video has 105 shifters. Is there any specific reason for the change? How did the LTWOO shifters perform before switching to the 105 shifters?

[@totallynotascammer]

It's the BALUGOE handlebar in AliExpress. The option says 30cm but in actuality it's 29cm :) The LTWOO rim brake shifters broke after 1 month of use. The mechanism unfortunately isn't as robust as their disc brake offering. It's like a toy which uses a cheap coiled spring mechanism instead of a solid gear system seen in their disc brake shifters :)

[@chouks23]

What is the BB standard for this bike? Hopefully it is not BB86.

[@OompaLoompaCycling]

It’s bb86 🤣

[@sbccbc7471]

​@@OompaLoompaCyclingBB86 here, there, left right centre. Not a problem for 25 mm spindles and smaller, but a bad pairing for 30 mm and DUB spindles.

[@KWs5329]

Why pogacar use disc brake?

[@OompaLoompaCycling]

Cause he has no choice

[@KWs5329]

@OompaLoompaCycling he not enough money buy disc brake

[@totallynotascammer]

World Tour & Conti Pros ride at speeds that are beyond comprehension sometimes. TV and cameras make it all look very calm and manageable. And it's fair for pros to have disc brakes since they NEED that stopping power. Meanwhile, I'm nowhere a WT pro nor Conti pro. The extra faff and potential problems when it comes to the calipers & rotors, I don't see it worth my trouble. And us, at amateur or club level, we don't go that fast!

[@OompaLoompaCycling]

@@totallynotascammer 👍👍

[@alfianramli]

Simple answer…..They are paid pro cyclists to cycling anything given by their sponsors…they have to use it,it’s like no choice….pogacar is so strong even if he uses & rides the most slowest team bike in world tour team and using a 105 groupset with a rim brakes,he will still be in front..that’s how really strong he is and the reality of cheap bikes components vs high ends…just a different of a vey small amount of %,not much…it’s like a car without an engine,engine makes the car moves and how strong is the engine makes the car move faster or no..bikes wont go fast by itself,the cyclist is the engine…so if you want to go fast & strong in cycling & dont have much money, you don’t need to buy expensive bikes or upgrade an expensive bikes components to go fast….just upgrade yourself by doing right and proper cycling training & take the right nutrition for long rides

[@hucklejoko4838]

handlebar link please my friend

[@totallynotascammer]

keywords are BALUGOE handlebar :) the option says 330mm with 300mm hoods. in actuality its 290mm :)

[@lkydartavenger6004]

Very distracting. Why does he keep shaking his body?

[@OompaLoompaCycling]

Nervous to be speaking to a masked man

[@ariffau]

You’ll only know when you see OLC in-person 👺

[@abastabul9115]

Yet you hanker for the expensive stuff.

[@totallynotascammer]

interesting observation! appreciate if you can explain more :) scrutinize me if you will, this will make a nice discussion
