3 Genius Bike Products You Don't Know About

[@notpablo8369]

That tire clearance checker is so freaking geniusssss

[@squeekywheel]

GPS works on a received radio signal. Magnet won't effect it. Thanks for the cool product ideas!

[@pratikpramanik7782]

I think people are thinking about the grade and barometer sensors. but those should be resistant to magnets too.

[@spencersinclair7]

I think he’s concerned it has a compass inside…magnets will affect magnetic north 😎

[@antoinecharpentier2460]

Not only the compass but also the data stored on it. Electrons spins can defer due to magnetic field thus resulting in loss of information. It might be very slow but on the long term there might be a risk of loosing event a part of the firmware..

[@davidmurphy9151]

Magnets seem bad for displays - been a while and tech has changed but I recall leaving swirls on early LCDs with magnets.

[@peglor]

The magnetic compass is the only sensor that should be affected by having the magnets close by. I'd like to hear Garmin say it's safe to use before putting my head unit near it. Without the compass working you'll have to be moving before the map and compass can orient themselves correctly.

[@sagehiker]

Love the Crane bell for my roadie friend. Oilfield shop I worked in a decades ago, with first shipment of bare rare earth magnets at noon, by three, we had three first aid cases.

[@kennethward9530]

I like that magnetic garmin bag mount, that’s pretty slick. With 20 rare earth magnets, it could probably double as an emergency repair stand using a highway sign post for those of us with steel frames 😮

[@christopherwebb3517]

I got an old single speed/fixed gear last year that had 25mm Gatorskin tires. They were getting worn out so I replaced them with 28mm Gravel Kings, because that's the widest tire the bike shop guy said would fit my bike (though after getting them on, I think I could have gotten away with 30mm). The first thing I noticed was that the Gatorskins were quite a bit "taller" than the Gravel Kings - meaning they stuck out vertically from the rim a lot more. So yeah, tires can be tricky to fit.

[@lulucatchoo2600]

That makes sense because the gatorskins are supposed to be more puncture resistant and help avoid pinch flats so the sidewalls and rubber overall is stiffer.

[@darkm4g1c]

One thing they don't tell you about rando bags is that electronics can overheat under that vinyl panel, Super glad someone made a solution! Gonna pick one up soon.

[@oatmonster]

Something like those tire gages that you could just print and cut out to test with your existing wheels would be cool

[@phillipcowan1444]

You should do an interview with Hahn. From what I know of him he sounds like an interesting fellow. I would like to hear how he ended up in Spain. Last I heard he was living in the PNW near Jan Heine.

[@DennisTeohKokEe]

i just can't read the bike computer when it is rattling. 😅 1:21

[@brannmacfinnchad9056]

That magnet mount is genius. I put a pair of holes and just bolted it to the top of my rando-style bag with a cheap replacement insert, but I wouldn't want to do so with an expensive bag (tip; you know what's approximately the size and shape of a rando bag, and has a top flap? Cheap soft coolers.

[@jackiegammon2065]

WOW! I think GPS mount would be a great piece for anyone that rides. I'd love to have the tire measuring tool, but what I find when sizing up tires is that the fork is always wider than the seatstays... and quite often the measurement for both is quite different. Thanks for sharing, some great tips that's for sure!

[@steffen_a]

I just installed this exact bell in all matte black on my bike this morning and now I see it here. I’m so glad someone finally solved that problem and even better that it’s the E-NE coming from Crane which I already owned and loved.

[@donhuber9131]

I use bar-end shifters, so I'm stoked to get one!

[@Some-Guy-]

8:41 I have one of those bells in chrome and it's GREAT with my R7020 brifters. I mounted mine on top of the tape. For my hands (I'm a skinny 180cm) it was easy to get it in a spot that doesn't interfere with top of the bar or in the drop hand positions.

[@littleBrownDwarf]

Lol, I'm still riding 23's on one of my road bikes, if you've got smooth roads to ride on, nothing beats them.

[@bulgieR]

Hahn also made (maybe still does) a gauge to tell you if your chainrings will hit the chainstay, or do you need a deeper indent (or longer spindle)? Also the clearance for the pedal end of the crank. You can do that with measurements, or just bolting on the actual crankset you plan to use, but Hahn's tool makes it quick'n'easy. I have two of the tire checkers because I bought an early one, then the v.2 was enough better that I just had to upgrade. I'm a fan.

[@tomreingold4024]

Nifty gadgets. Thank you. I have a couple of regular Crane bells. My favorite. The brass models are best because of the way they resonate.

[@alex.broman]

1:00 i've been using a superglued velcro to do exactly the same with about 10 cents price tag and several minutes of my time. BTW, it weighs about 2 grams unlike this one. Plus, i'm able to superglue other velcros to... wherever I want.

[@paulvanreesch2493]

How about you Velcro your behind to your saddle and keep your ¢10 to yrself. Have you thought about medication?

[@TheAttyjace]

Modern tech is cool. Computers can now be close to powerful magnets. ❤

[@y2ubeuser666]

Very cool solution to the computer problem - will look into it. Gotta be careful with those magnets around our automatic watches too!

[@mortonbeard2240]

Thanks for getting right to what you showed in the thumbnail.

[@festerofest4374]

I love those bells. I mount on the top of the bar next to the stem however... I can reach the ringer quickly with my thumb, and it's super-stealth there. Mine gets a lot of use on some popular trails. I have learned that if the people walking in the trail appear to be older folks, they might not hear the bell! It has happened to me a few times, including a woman just yesterday with a dog on a log leash swerving around ahead of me. In fact, last year a group of older people were walking four-wide, pretty much blocking the whole path. Multiple rings as I got closer.. no response. I was ringing it until 5 feet away, and when I passed the guy on the outside he jumped and yelled Jeeze!! because I had surprised him. So four oldsters together couldn't hear the bell.

[@Velorize]

Magnet mount is a clever idea, but I noticed that the Garmin unit was shaking quite a bit. Maybe if it is on a more sturdy bag it would work better. Bell sounds very nice but it seems to be in the way of thumb. Thanks for sharing the cool products.

[@SianaGearz]

Oy randomly that gps magnet thing gave me an idea how to make a bottom bracket tool specific to my bicycle. 3d print with screws sticking out for the actual engagement. If a 3d print won't work i can just take the sizing, a chunk of alu, and drill and tap some holes.

[@mikeflanigan4896]

I miss maps. I really liked the Bike centennial maps I used on my Trans American trip in 89

[@robbchastain3036]

Thanks, Russ, and I still have a pair of 24mm road tires, not of my choosing, they came with a '90s titanium bike I bought at a great price in the used marketplace. Still, I could buck the larger tire trend and be an alt guy at party pace, whoa, 24s, gnarly, dude. Just tryin' to find my tribe. 😀

[@SimonCurrey]

I have a Trigger bell on 3 brifter bikes. Claris 3x, Sora 3x, GRX 400 it works perfectly in top and bottom position. I see they are a mk6. Meaning it has provenance. I do soft rings or multiple loud ding!

[@E.S.Franck]

Agreed…on the tire tester, if tire manufacturers complied to their own dimension numbers it would be great!

[@Frostbiker]

3:11 GPS works via radio signals, so I don't see how some permanent magnets could cause issues with it. However, I would not be surprised if the compass (magnetometer) was affected, but I don't think that's typically used for navigation in these units. If somebody knows better, please let us know.

[@CharlieMetcalf]

I have a set of Clement Strada 23c tires mounted and being built on my Storck Special. Yes they are hard and small, but they fit the build and I like em!

[@texugooooo]

The magnetic GPS mount can be easily replaceable by a topcap mount or even a regular one installed backwards, but it might be usefull for headlights.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

... can be preplaced* / useful*

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

I have several Garmin mounts for the top of my MTB stempost, also one able to swing its angle. but if stable it will be fine on top of a Bag also. My hyper-expensive and specially modified Brompton foldingbike has now a titanium bolt on top, holding brackets for both a lamp and a Garmin, at the same time. Finn.

[@reedjacksonmaccom]

cool tire fitment tool. you can check for pedal strike too (shoe/pedal) strike

[@mikkonurminen5080]

Problem with mounting that type of bell horizontally is it will be muted slightly when riding in rain. So make sure to tilt it a bit upwards.

[@elizabethburgess3969]

You always find the best stuff! Love that magnet - genius!

[@magnetarklkl2012]

Thank you for showing us how the road bike bell would ACTUALLY work on the bike 😊

[@justinarthur3773]

Great video. I like the look of all 3 of these, especially the Tyre checker

[@bloodyfingersstl]

That tire checker is genius. I may try to 3D print one

[@misterkiji]

GPS mount is cool. Looks like it's sold out and limited to Garmin and certain Wahoo mounts. Hopefully they're working on another production run and include the Wahoo Bolt models V1 and V2 or maybe an adapter.

[@milanobus]

I use the Garmin Mtb mount folded backwards over the stem. Out of the way and easy to see.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

That would work except when using a randonneur bag when the elastic is pulled over the stem.

[@nerigarcia7116]

That mount is fine but seems a little hard to read when it's bouncing all over the place. I'd just attach it to the stem. The Airtag pocket is nice.

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

There are lots of instances when mounting it on the stem is not possible. If you've got a particularly short stem and there's no real estate or if you're using a bag with a rando elastic closure that would interfere with it.

[@Emtbtoday]

Stonger Magnets will effect an electronic compass no question on that happens with mine but the GPS itself it wont aslong as its calibrated each time its removed and fitted again ( going round in a circle 3 times normally works) Garmin themselves "Oh i dont know" so just be aware of the sats are connected to 3 at each time you’ll be fine for it triangulating m, but just keep it in mind if using stong earth magnetics like that less is more! They will permanently screw up an electronic compass and not a GPS that receives signals

[@gerhardkuhne6643]

Hey, what kind of Bag is that at 2:11? THANKS :)

[@kibbee890]

Those magnets are definitely going to cause issues with the magnetic compass on your computer. From some quick research it seems like some bike computers have them, but they might only be used when stationary.

[@paulaspinall919]

Thanks Russ. Interesting vid. The Garmin/Wahoo holder is an excellent product.

[@overland_adventure_nz]

I used to ride 18mm (700c) on my adventure gravel bike back in the 1980’s and bruise the rim all the time with the average gravel profile of 50mm in size Downunder in New Zealand. Now my only bike has 3.00” 29” tyres and rim combination for more speed and comfort

[@JBroms64]

imo the best niche bike component is the White Industries Eno Freewheel. Probably more of Zach Gallardo product but I love the quality you get and how well designed it is. I hope that the design gets sold and produced by another company should White ever have to close their doors.

[@Dellvmnyam]

That garmin/wahoo mount will affect the navigation readings only in case your navigation device has a magnetic compass.

[@masonfreedman]

That tire clearance tool is a really good idea! The only tricky thing is the rim/tire combo is never that precise.

[@derekhobbs1102]

I really like the idea of that bell mount.

[@Vam1500]

Would the magnet mount work to attach a Garmin Varia to a saddlebag?

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

No

[@christophersimser9500]

The magnetic mount is exactly what I need. I was unable to locate it online. It seems Rossman Cycles is no longer in business, in Seattle at least, and the German website listed the mount only for Wahoo, and was sold out. Any tips on locating this great device?

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

It fits BOTH garmin and wahoo. I was using a garmin with it in the video.

[@TheRickurb]

Damn…. I think I may be a bike nerd. Because I think all of those are really cool.

[@tankieboy2]

Deffo gettin that bell. Well I will when my ACJ is fixed...

[@charlesblithfield6182]

The tire width tool wouldn’t have helped me recently. Just got some RH Rat Trap Pass 26x2.3” 58-559 tires and mounted them on some vintage Saturae x28 MTB rims 3/4 inch wide. RH says they mount at 52mm way below the 58. On my rims they are 47mm almost 1cm less than the label. Does anyone else have this experience. BTW the tires are so good that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to choose another brand.

[@bruce.KAY-bike-drifter]

Thank you. This was worth warning

[@nbartlett6538]

5:25 "23mm if you can believe people rode bikes with tyres this small"... less of the past tense please!

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Also would not ride 23mm tyres anymore as 25s allow me to go down my favorite descent (2km, 5 hairpin bends) without braking. Also would not know what I need 28mms for. Everything wider does not fit my rim brakes anyway. But 23s do still their place in many applications.

[@jamegumm]

What watch are you wearing?

[@WattWireNet]

There's no way any 2.4" mtb tire has the same profile as that 61mm jig--not nearly flat enough. However, great concept and it will give you a better idea than nothing at all.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Also thin that before you can get a hold on this measuring device and spend money on it, you might as well just borrow a wheel with the tire in question on an try to fit it.

[@alberttibble3570]

I would definitely purchase if it came with a Quadlock compatible mounting system

The magnets should not impact GNSS, but if your device has a compass, it WILL destroy it, be careful

[@kimrice394]

Good stuff!

[@KarlOnSea]

The first one - the magnet doohickey: It's a "Yes!" from me. Possibly even a "Hell yeah!" The tyre sizing thing... meh. Maybe. But I'm not swapping tyres and wheelsets often enough to justify it. The third one - the bell. Yeah, I'm out, with an absolute "Hell No." Honestly, just fit the fricken' bell to the bars below the brifters, and positioned so that you can flick it with your thumb while on the hoods. The added advantage of this is that it won't get in the way of your bar bag.

[@danmc7815]

People rode bikes with 23mm tires?? Some still do! I have one for my rear tire on my road bike now, and I am over 230 pounds. Oh, and I am pretty sure Remco Evanepoel road 23 mm old school tubular tires during the Tour.
