[@garyfisher6549]

Nice to meet you. Thanks for covering the product less seen!

[@PathLessPedaledTV]

Thanks for saying hi! Great honor to chat and nerd out on bikes for a few minutes.

[@peterharrington8709]

@@PathLessPedaledTV WOW! And he's right... you found some dam cool stuff there Russ.👍

[@ryanjenkins3070]

I own a Breezer and a Gray Fisher mtb. All I need now is a Ritchey and my Mt Rushmore will be complete. ❤

[@emusp]

Finally a video from Euro Bike that shows all less covered products. Thanks.

[@Frostbiker]

That Burley trailer at the end looks fantastic for families who don't have a full-on cargo bike. It looks great for dropping kids off and then go on a Costco run.

[@BikeShopGirl]

Yes! One of the cooler things I’ve seen from EB

[@travisfinucane]

Yeah that is a great design. Very versatile.

[@shreadbringer]

They can have my money now! My kid is super close to outgrowing our Burley Encore trailer that we do our outtings/shopping with. That one looks even more convenient.

[@denverman6161963]

I'm hoping they think to make available dog-specific straps'harness for those of us that can't trust Fido to not jump when they see a kangaroo and don't want a single strap that chokes. (I'd basically need to strap my dog in like Hannibal Lecter on the dolly in "Silence..")

[@libraryofpapel]

genius fold up wheels

[@daniilvoloshin7431]

This is the Eurobike video I was waiting on ^__^

[@adrianbicho3]

Thanks for showing something different. There's so much more than super and expensive bikes.

[@amaurisiegel8158]

That “AI” light seems like it does the same brake sensing my $20 aliexpress light does.

[@joelv4495]

The Ortlieb rack looks really cool, and could work for thru-axle bikes that don't even have rack eyelets!

[@BenBroomfield]

Tailfin have been doing fantastic quick release racks for years!

[@mangethegamer]

@@BenBroomfield Tailfin is in a complete different price bracket than Ortlieb though.

[@jonathanrhodes8200]

Yes, but ortlieb is hitting at a reasonable price point. I can just about stomach spending £70 on a rack, considering the amount of use I put my bikes through. Tailfin's pricing makes my wallet weep.

[@JiorujiDerako]

I've already got the "old" QR rack + some of the classic panniers to go with it, wasn't cheap but feels super solid when you clip it in, I can certainly recommend it if the ~$100 price tag doesn't scare you (yes it's affordable for what it is, but a 'standard' rack could be half that and still just as solid). Being able to take it off even when the panniers are on it is super handy, I've found. Makes a nice handle for carrying both bags or standing them up somewhere. Nicest thing about the rack IMO, aside from build quality, is the fact that a new set of eyelet mounts is like $8 so you can in theory just buy one rack and have a set of mounting hardware on as many bikes as you like, so it swaps easily between them! I'm kinda hopeful the thru-axle won't be too expensive, since at the moment I use the rack on a MTB and I'd love to also mount it to my gravel bike, but since the sizing's a bit different the rack doesn't sit level on one if you set it up for the other. More mounting options will help with keeping it fitted to multiple bikes.

[@drill_fiend1097]

It would allow many "race only" carbon bikes to be used for bikepacking or touring as well.

[@pinkyfull]

8:57 that isn't ai, that's just an accelerometer. Magicshine and other brands have lights which have done this for years. Why is everything sold as AI even when its not?

[@alessandrouk2]

The Rear Rack “Transformers” to Box its Amazing 1:42 ❤

[@JochenSteglich]

So cool, didn’t know the Europbike shows so fancy bike packing stuff!

[@19jaan]

Thanks so much for this video. The "enlarging" rack is an insta-buy for me. All the other videos did not mention it. Really awesome work. Well done! Keep it up!

[@julianwagner1065]

I met the guys who developed it and found them to be super cool. If you want to support their work, a quick tip: they are currently/in the near future (not entirely sure) running a crowd funding to finance the production of the rack.

[@Hephera]

its a neat idea but 2kg for a bike rack is kindve ridiculous. i feel like you'd be better of just keeping a non-collapsing large-sized bike rack on the bike permanently rather than a super heavy one that can collapse

[@Coppice1]

I've seen rear seat stay mounts crack, I wouldn't like to hang 40kg off it that far back. I always use a seat collar with built in rack mounts.

[@myfrequencies1912]

40kg mounted BEHIND the rear axle = guaranteed wheelies everywhere, all the time! 😂

[@19jaan]

At the moment I have a rack which supports 50kg. My problem is the position of the panniers. With my size 17 shoes I need more space to pedal without scratching my panniers reasoned in the length of the chainstay. Next bike I will get for sure a much longer chainstay. But for now that rack is the cheapest solution to my problem. As a 6'6 person I don't think I'm in danger to wheelie up any hill due to the nice geometry of the rest of my bike.

[@--onewheelskyward--]

OMG I want that convertible basket. :)

[@lesand5484]

Thanks for showing so many small companies!

[@phililpb]

collapsing tongs and folding pedals. looks like everything I never needed

[@travisfinucane]

Tongs look like garbage, but I really like folding pedals so I don't stab myself in the calf while loading my bike onto the train. Unfortunately, the two sets I've used had their bearings go bad after about 6 months of use.

[@peppermintpig974]

@@travisfinucane I hope the MKS quality rubbed off on the tong design but I too have my doubts. It's something I could plausibly use for touring but would want to see more of that product up close to persuade me to get them. You know what I thought it was at first before he opened it up? A compact bow saw. Agree, the pedals look great. Did MKS not have any other new models to show?

[@rickfazzini22]

That burley cart is awesome! Ride to the market, push cart around shopping hook it back on and your off. So smart!!

[@JohnPilling25]

Thank you so much for the alt review of rack products etc.

[@seanwood]

Great report. Many really useful products I never would have found. Thank you.

[@shuangliangkolu]

Excited to see Ortlieb release their version of the thru-axle and rack for it. Been eyeing using/hacking together Tailfin/robertaxleproject thru-axle with a quick-release rack and wasn't sure if attaching to thru-axle would fit 700c gravel bike but guess I'll just wait for the proper version. 🤩

[@philipbyrne3037]

Thanks so much Russ. Great to see so many of the brands that have made my life easier keep on innovating. I think your channel is executing its mission. You help people find a flexible but durable bike platform that they can modify for their needs.❤

[@thewintersteiner]

1:53 this is my favorite product that you reviewed. I hope it was a fun event!

[@H457ur]

Good job covering the more practical side of cycling. I had seen that Abbey Tools chain checker already having seen it on another channel-I think it’s cool that you’re also covering their product.

[@arcycanumay]

Thank you very much Russ! Awesome accessories that "No one else talked about". Very interested in a number of products you featured. Keep up the great work!

[@jasonferrier]

That new Jack rack may solve my long struggle with losing the top of my drop bars when I mount up a bag. The foam spacers that many bags include get squished, let the bag shift around and yet still don’t leave enough room for my fingers to wrap around the bars. I’m hopeful the Jack or others let me regain my full bars!

[@hendrixinfinity3992]

Those foam spacers are awful, best to cut up a yoga block which is solid EVA foam and won't squish.

[@alexdcpe]

Did you see the little booth from a Japanese company called 5links? They had basically a much simpler and unobtrusive alternative to S&S couplers, thought it was very interesting. By the way, we were on the same flight back from Frankfurt 😅 Fellow Catalonia omnium rider here! (Love how cargo-heavy the event was!)

[@richardharker2775]

Thanks Russ. I'm glad someone is reporting on useful products that regular people can make use of.

[@paulaspinall919]

The best Eurobike 24 review I have seen. Thanks Russ.

[@Ichtyosapiens]

Wow, nice coverage. This is the stuff that I'm curious about!

[@aaronedgeart]

Wondrous coverage... love your attention to more non-traditional cycling stuff (per usual).

[@myfrequencies1912]

"If you want to give your bike superpowers...." like popping the world's easiest wheelie without even trying because you've mounted four (count 'em!) four panniers BEHIND your rear axle! 😂

[@BikeShopGirl]

The best EuroBike coverage 🙌🙌🙌

[@jonathanrhodes8200]

Agreed. It is so nice not to be hot with flashy, expensive gear, but instead gear that makes think about the bikes I own, and make me ride them more.

[@zoltanszabo8747]

That Kronfeld rack must really offset the balance of the bike though. If packed full or having two kids on it, the center of the weight could move beyond the rear wheel. Smallest bump would result in a wheelie.

[@FfortheT]

Right, probably you should pack up the front as well (as done in the booth bike)

[@ztsb_koneko]

At that point you just have to start applying basic vehicle loading principles and never load the heavy stuff in the rear. Heavy load on the wheel axle and in the front, lightest load in the back and you'll be just fine... It's obviously intended for a hardcore bike packer who already used up all the other space on their rig and looking to expand. Not for joyriding with your kids lol

[@tracerxrider]

Great coverage. Dig those strap-on clipless attachments.

[@felipericketts]

Very interesting, thoughtful and useful accessories! Thanks 🙂

[@VE7QRZ]

I like the Burley trailer😁

[@veloaa-montreal6924]

Wow that chain-wear tool is awesome! I also like the strap-on cleats, I wouldn't use it for actual cycling but I have SPDs on my city bike and sometimes I want to ride it for things where I don't want to be stuck wearing my bike shoes. The 40kg rack I'm not too sure about, the reason racks are only rated for 25kg is that that's the limit for the mounting hardware and the eyelets on your frame. So sure the rack itself can be rated for any weight but as they say "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link". It also puts weight behind the rear wheel which is a recipe for speed-wobbles.

[@fittonbikes]

Thanks for puting the ALT into EU cyucling. :)

[@HobbyHoarder]

Excellent video and you didn't lie - I've only seen one thing (printed shoes) on other channels, everything else was new.

[@monsieurduquack5440]

[@KevinAdams06]

[@JeffShepherdphotos]

Watcher over you tubers of the Eurobike show, You would of thought it was all about carbon and racing . Glad to know it also has item the rest of us.

[@alex.broman]

1:13 i believe, this kind of measurement is good for very specific chains, as 8sp chains have a much bigger gap tolerance, than 11sp or 12sp. It's even told to clean the chain before measuring (not to let sand and dirty grease buildups get in the way, I can imagine) -- how does it compare to the initial slackness of 8sp chain, that can be twisted 1 full turn right from the box

[@peppermintpig974]

You covered lots of interesting new products! Internal routing on a rack for dynamo lighting is super clever and I award extra points for that! The expanding function is clever but perhaps not as practical as one would think given the weight limits. I purchased an Ostrich bag around 2017 or so. Great randonneuring bag and pairs well with the Nitto mounting systems. I picked it up on a whim while I was ordering some hard to find rims or tires. I immediately swapped out the black elastic for fuschia to match my anodized purple parts and then swapped the Ostrich brand logo for my workshop patch so people can see the kind of bespoke builds I do. While you can put maps in the clear top area, I find it useful for a small solar array for passive battery charging. I've seen the Chocobar on a Japanese site before. I know I've seen the chocolate shaped tire levers as well. Funky product! I can tell you this: The marketplace needs better bicycle bells. More repetitive strikers, two tone strikers, etc. The market also needs more refined handlebar-clamped and bar end mirrors. Touring/utility bikes could benefit from slightly larger stable mirrors with higher finish quality compared to what exists currently. Need good convex shapes as well. Being heard, seeing and being seen... let's push the marketplace to greater heights!

[@fatbikeinbraunschweig]

the kronfeld rack seemes to be killer!!!

[@ruquik]

All of us 40 somethings were jsut instantly triggered by those MKS bear trap pedals that were on the table. Thanks for the phantom shin pain lol.

[@neilgoth1974]

Cool finds! Hope someone comes out with a pizza rack that expands to actually carry a 16-18" pizza box.

[@CanyonWanderer]

Nice selection!!

[@Macuhdohnadadoh]

The drop bar crane bell is the winner. I can’t tell you how often I’m white knuckling the hoods while flying down the trail and have to decide if it’s worth it to reach over to hit the bell to notify upcoming hikers or if it’s safer to just maintain my braking control and sneak through the gap.

[@davidscott6164]

I have a regular crane Bell mounted below the hood and can reach out with my pinkie while on the hoods, and index finger from the drops

[@Macuhdohnadadoh]

@@davidscott6164 interesting. I haven't found a position that wouldn't get in my way while braking hard in the drops. But perhaps I just need to try harder :)

[@davidscott6164]

@@Macuhdohnadadoh I have the bell body towards the inside/center of the bike, with the striker lever in front if the bar, just below where the brake lever would make contact when fully depressed. Not sure if that would work on all bar shapes and all hand sizes, but I like it!

[@Hephera]

have you considered using your voice?

[@Macuhdohnadadoh]

@@Hephera yeah, but when you say, “on your left”, trail walkers move to their left 50% of the time. And a high pitched bell can cut through air pods.

[@nicofico88]

Thank you.

[@darrenmartinson9119]

Ergonomic grips look next level, shame about the price £45

[@VanJolene]

Holy crap on that first extended rack. I wonder how it affects handling when fully loaded. Ha, that second rack is like the folding crates we used at work. You could easily jut attach it to rear rack for the same effect! I might try it. I am totally gonna make my own safety "lantern!" I am amazed at what they come up with that a simple, cheap, bunjee cord will work for just as well. L9ve the slip on cleats! I like the Jack rack but what keeps it from bouncing? That tiny front click fix rack is def something I would buy for my Bike Friday! Def gonna contact my friend here at Burley in Eugene about that wagon! Thanks, Russ and Laura! Great ideas over there. Now, where's my sewing machine to make a few of my own ideas I got from this?

[@EKsUrbanTracks]

Nice cool items, I was looking for a square-ish bag I could use on my front rack, in order to carry my filming gear, the Ostrich bags look awesome and perfect for my use, many pockets and stuff, but I can find a retailer in France or Europe :x

The new ortlieb quick rack is super awesome !!!!!!! Unless it is crazy expensive I am getting one.

[@mstong59]

Voile makes a rack specific strap as well...long before Ortlieb

[@gabemccoy]

Came here to say this. I have a couple and love them. Plus, you can daisy chain in traditional Voile straps if you need to secure something massive. Great video, Russ!

[@peppermintpig974]

I'm a fan of Rok straps. They're partly elastic with a cinching ability, clips, and the ends have loops so you can loop lock them onto the rack.

Regarding chain checker, the stretch of the chain that regular chain checkers tests is important for the alignment of the cogs and longevity of the cassette and chainring. Does the flex of the chain really matter?

[@skullsroad3642]

Best event coverage. I'm an "enduro bro" but that market is saturated with useless "innovation". Forget electronic shifting, inverted forks, and magnesium pedals. I'm loving the practical side of product design.

Any info on release date and price point for those o-straps with hooks? I see Voile has a similar product - rack strap, but 17 USD per strap is a bit much.
