The Green looks 😍 btw. We should have a "sick" counter running on the video🤣

[@Strange_Brew]

I did slip and fall down on with the Time pedal cleats. Had elbow X-rayed. Ok , just a small knot remained. I screwed in a modified rubber heal guard on my Sidi shoes... Much better walking now. I recommend it!

[@Strange_Brew]

I love Time pedals. Have the pro carbon 12. Glad to see they’ve come out with new stuff.

[@sean9820]

That green os incredible 🤤

Red XPLR! The Road T-Type is coming

[@sondrebergo]

May I ask how tall you are? And the frame is size 54? And how long stem? Would you have chosen differently, or is it "perfect"? I really enjoy your content:D

[@tarpontime7562]

Sick bike!

[@kevinowich13]

Wich Handlebar Tape do you use here? Looks good😊

[@charlesmansplaining]

Those cardboard boxes are probably more robust than that bike frame. To test my theory drop these on the floor and see which one fails first. 😁

[@bicyclestation]

I honestly love seeing the new box designs. They are crazy. Think about how much money and rnd goes into cardboard box design haha

[@brantwilson8859]

What size rear cassette are you running?

[@williamforbes7156]

thoughts on hope 2 pot rotors? roadies need more stoppies!

[@bicyclestation]

On my drop bar mtb I ran 4 pop and definitely preferred it

[@lsgutah]

How hilly is it where you live? I live in Utah with mountains. Don’t know I could get by with 1x crank.

[@bicyclestation]

Extremely hilly but everything it short maxing out around 400ft. It’s like a death by a thousand cuts situation.

[@laxplaysu91]

Are you running an XPLR RD?

[@bicyclestation]

Just the standard red

[@Anon.User.602]

Nice bike. How is the wear and tear on the crank/cassette/chain with the 1 by? Same life as 2 bys?

[@bicyclestation]

I’ve always thought it was better running a 1x

[@Anon.User.602]

@@bicyclestation Since the chain angles more in the lowest/highest gears, I thought it would wear out quickly. Great channel, and you're living the dream.

[@bicyclestation]

Let me issue a correction. I always thought it was better running 1x because I was using xx1 coated eagle chains. Those chains were like indestructible. Flat top I haven’t really blow one up so I don’t feel like it’s a concern but felt like I should say something. Appreciate it! It’s been a fun year so far. The channel has definitely changed my life

[@I3ene1]

Would you say reusing the barb and olive is dangerous or mostly fine?

[@bicyclestation]

I’ve done it over 100 times at this point. I don’t think it’s dangerous at all

[@I3ene1]

@@bicyclestation good to know. The bike looks sick!

[@bicyclestation]

Appreciate it!

[@paulski107]

What is ‘Transmission’?

[@Kactusdog]

There's no H in SRAM people

[@duncanholman9034]

Your first Time?

[@bicyclestation]

Every time Is my first

[@christianbohrer9107]

Which company is the handlebar tape? nice channel! Greetings from Germany

[@bicyclestation]

God and famous

[@matthewwells5026]

Is there a Force aero chainring?

[@bicyclestation]

You can put this chainring on a force crank

[@jiggamanjnu1on1]

Tell me you got money without telling me you got money 😅

[@Marco-717]

People are spending 22k on pinerello. These companies are getting out of hand

[@walkerbikes8]

How many bikes are you guys allowed to EP? lmfao

[@bicyclestation]

I don't know what your talking about we pay full price for everything on the channel lol

[@harrytiongsonjabagat3491]

can i ask for your future videos if you can show the weight of bike in kilograms (kg) because im not really familiar in lbs weight 🥰😘😘😉

[@harrytiongsonjabagat3491]

i mean can you show us weighting in kilograms.... Thank you so much if you read this. See you in future videos. You're awesome!

[@bicyclestation]

Haha I kinda think it’s funny that we only do lbs. pretty much every other cycling channel only says kg. I’ll consider it though lol.

[@harrytiongsonjabagat3491]

@@bicyclestation yeah its pretty funny, its nice watching ur chilly bike builds videos haha great bike mechanic you are.. thanks

[@CyclespeedTours]

You really need to lose those 80's ugly bottle cages and save like 100g right there. 13, 13 1/2 pounds is really not that difficult for this bike.

[@bicyclestation]

Last time I checked the silca cages were like 20 grams. I don’t know what you’re talking about?

[@piratepete1475]

that is nice
