The bike I brought to the USA

[@outdoorbros_]

This format is rad- No marketing sheet talking points, just a chat about the bike, the setup and how it feels. Bravo.

[@johnnydarko8031]

agreed 👍

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Loved your review of the 40/44’s … exactly the same with no BS … and without the typos of my video 😂

[@outdoorbros_]

@@ChrisMillerCycling haha, didn't even notice the typos. I did however notice the mallet holding up the bike; I know the Central Valley can be gangster, best to be prepared.

[@jasonyltan7672]

I’ve been riding a Chapter 2 Tere for almost 5 years and never once needed to look at other bikes. It’s perfect for the rides I do.

[@卡臣-c2f]

May I ask what features of this bike you are fond of? just curious about it

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Couple of quick notes 1. 548mm effective top tube 2. 175cm is actually 5"9 and 3.speed comparison, the 2023 bike is one the left.

[@HarryTzianakisTheGodOfSpeed]

Hi Christopher ! 👋 So Tyler took you for a ride ha ha ha 😅 you were thinking when is this going to end 😢 lmfaooo00 😂🤣😆 Hillary didn't make it any easier

Hey Chris, great vid. That format of review/comparison/chat is great. Would welcome more of them 👍

[@willridesabike6312]

It's been a pleasure riding with you Chris. Thanks for making our insanely hot area look so good. Hope to see you back again when I'm further down the road to regaining my fitness.

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Awesome to see you guys as well. Really looking forward to coming back … climb to Kaiser 2024?

[@ShawnIsBatman]

I loved the format of the presentation and that it was based on a significant amount of riding across a lot of different conditions and types of rides. I also appreciate the fact that while there was some vendor contribution, this was not a paid promotion. To me that is a significant difference.

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Thanks for that comment, I wasn’t sure whether to use the “paid partnership” button here, but like you said, I stayed away from the normal review things like “stiffer, faster, more compliant”, so thought it was ok not to. That said, I think it’s an interesting show topic for the Nero show.

[@dominicbritt]

Very useful way to present this information Chris... no fluff, just what your experience is. Like it...

[@chrissheldon2681]

Great video Chris, enjoyed the more casual look at the combo + the nuance you brought to the wheel tire combo!

[@derekelliott1026]

[@timowen5772]

Chris - that content/presentation was good. Fast, yet informative. Tadej asks if he can have his shorts back….

[@MagicFrisby]

Love this type of content. This video, felt very genuine and informative. Great job. I would have like a bit more information on the frame. Why is the geometry special.

[@gabebikes]

Been running GP5000s for about 6 months now and love them. Never had an issue getting them to seat or on the rim.

[@henriqueratz]

I was waiting for the bike chat (review) and I absolutely loved this format. I have been seriously considering a Chapter 2 frame for my next bike (local shop works with them) and this was great to see. Could you give a bit more details on the handlebar adapters?

[@happydays8171]

From America here, loved the scenery, that was some great footage. I watch a lot of reviews, don't believe I've seen one go into the detail you did with the Strava readouts. I'm always left wondering how long they've had the bike, you answered that. Great video, love the creative graphics on the bike.

[@neilmckenna236]

Brilliant chat through Chris. Really enjoyed the style and would love to see plenty more 👌👍

[@markharrison6120]

Great vid... the most valuable feedback to folks buying kit is the ride feel, performance and support in case of issue.. the schill reviewers discussing spec only add zero value... nice work..

[@MrJonofresh]

Hey Chris, enjoyed this type of video for sure. Thanks for the tip on the rear light mount. I'll be buying one.

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Great bunch of guys doing them. And I must say, the quality of the 3d print is very good.

[@TheGridmon]

Great format. Love all the details being included and just spending time on things that matter and framing why that is eg wider internal rim width. Also love the Nero wrap

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Awesome, thank you!

[@pmb0001]

Just adding another voice to what has been said by others above, a great video, informative content, A1 presentation and something that [we] riders can appreciate. The Bunny Hop wrap (on both your bikes), together with the SYD icons inspired kit is awesome and has me contemplating doing the same to one of my bikes. Well done!

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Much appreciated!

[@robertwevans84]

Really liked to know all the specs and set-up talk.

[@suliom2258]

Excellent video, good balance of technical and real life relevance.

[@ForeJaapie]

I happens to have bought a Farsports F1 as well, in the same 380x120 size as yours. Bought it on Panda Podium for 40% off since its being replaced by the f1s. Very happy with it!

[@lectricmotors]

Keep these up as you get time. VERY helpful for me as a novice road rider shopping for an entire new bike.

[@DurianriderCyclingTips]

These are the type of bikes that experienced riders like us wouldnt buy if we had to spend our own money though lol. They are heavy, PITA to maintain and WAY over priced.

[@tomrachellesfirstdance7843]

The graphics on the bike and your nero kit 😍Looking great Chris enjoyed the video

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@2XFactor51]

Perfect way to evaluate a bike. Instead of giving an end all be all review, since everyone has unique characteristics that makes their responses to bikes different, it’s nice just to hear how and why you run your setup. And I think it’s super cool that Chapter 2 and Reserve were willing to share their products so that you could ride. But I have a question…did you beat Jeff in his own parking lot crit?🤔🤔🤔 Inquiring minds wanna know😂

[@jamest2502]

Chris, great video. I really enjoy hearing your take on equipment. I really appreciate the more organic feel you have to these, especially when you take your time with the product and actually use it for a while. To me it feels more genuine. Keep it up and do them when you are ready. Yours have your own unique feel to them that I very much enjoy that separates it from the likes of Cam Nicolls and David Authur (which are great too). Watching the evolution of your channel and your take on cycling has been great. I look forward to the next video.

[@jesselove6989]

Good to see you doing a review again. You have a good take on these bikes.

[@carterrote6333]

Love this format Chris. Excited to see more footage on the bike from your trip

[@atgnicyclist]

Great video Chris. A good palette cleanser between the long podcast format. Personally I’d like to know how big those tyres sat at on the reserve rims and what the clearance was like on the frame. If you already mentioned it and I missed it then I apologise.

Loved this style of video mate. Good amount of spec information but more importantly plenty of detail of how it feels/rides. Definitely appreciate your opinion on ride feel because of your experience

[@DPbike]

Chris, I guessed this wasn’t a full on review because you didn’t do a Dave Arthur squat, next to the bike ;) Really interesting the av speed difference, there must be something going on unless you were riding with a constant hurricane tailwind this year!

been thinking of getting some reserve 40/44 for my endurace bike. I think that will jus about make that bike prefect for me. I don't race and I like long, comfortable ,slow to medium tempo rides on most days. thx for the info Chris !

[@pierrex3226]

If you're heavy enough, take deeper, unless you're constantly climbing ;)

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Yeh I would lean towards the deeper as well. Not much of a weigh difference and you’ll appreciate the speed on the flats

If you like Reserve wheels then you should be riding ENVE! Enve invented the different wheel width and depth for rear and front. Many people talked S about it and now it seems everyone is copying them lol!

[@somnumna2606]

I love Enve and they have even replaced my old rim brake 3.4s which was great. These Reserves on DT 240 hubs are very fast and I actually prefer them to my deeper dish Enves. The world has caught up!

[@cornelhughes6763]

Great video. I am one for similar content in the future, Question for you: Why did you not go for a small and then a 130 stem length? Reach would be about the same and a lower stack (24 mm). You should then have a bike that's a bit lighter and easier to control, add spacers if you need to be higher(unless you want the slammed look). Heard it always stated that if you fall between two frame sizes and have no flexibility issues choose the smaller frame.

[@jackriley1989]

I did a bit of Frankensteining and put a 38t inner ring from a 9000 "52/38" spec on with my 54t chainring. Technically out of spec and people on the internet say that the chainrings will be further apart, but practically I've not noticed anything. Best of both worlds for cruising up and flying down hills

[@RyonBeachner]

I’d expect the closer the gap the better the shifting would be, I thought the wider gap is the issue. (52/34 etc)

[@jakethesnake1976]

​@@RyonBeachner54-38t is wider gap though it should be a 40?

[@RyonBeachner]

@@jakethesnake1976 54/38 is a 16t difference. 52/34 is a 18t difference. A 54/38 should actually shift just as easily as the shimano approved 50/34

Hey Chris, I have had the Toa for almost two years now. I love the frame and the feel of it, thinking of also getting a Koko frame . I know you have ridden both, what are your thoughts? Is it worth swapping to the Koko? Or is the Toa better overall? Cheers
