TRIBAN 100 : Gravel Bike by B'twin !!

B'twin has a new bike in its 2017 range ! it's name : triban 100 . It's a gravel bike but also a really cheap road bike ! When I saw it I knew I had to test it on a mountain bike trail to see if it can resist this experience !
In conclusion , this bike has pros and cons:
+ :
+Frame
+ Fork
+Tyres
+Position
- :
- Drivetrain
- Brakes
Again I'm not a pro rider nor a pro film maker ! It's just for Fun ! Enjoy !

Thanks for this amazing vid and other vid build on this bike and your responses to the comments. Finally got the triban rc100 (the newer version) and manage to install 11-36 cassette paired with altus m310 and hacked the AO50 to become a friction shifter. It works perfectly. With 38t chainring and 35mm tire, it’s now a budget adventure bike that is more than enough with my type of ride. Many Thanks sir. from PH.

Hey just got the bike as well, do you think i can put a 10 speed casette 11-42 on the stock wheel if i change shifter and derailleur??

[@dennissolano18]

@@andreim1270 Yes! the RC 100 stock free hub can accommodate 10s cassette ( im using 10s 11-42 now from 11-36) However make sure your new derailleur has the capacity for the 11-42 cassette.

[@25inspector]

Thank you for showing us the capability of this bike. I am just an older rider who is looking for a light weight comfortable budget bike for going on day long tours on the paved and crushed stone pathways around my city. I think this is a great choice for a recreational 60+ rider who isn't going to beat the bike too hard.

I have one and use it as a commuter, installed a rear rack and mudguards, works great, 7 gears are more than enough. love this bike

[@TrailsonWheels]

I love this bike too ! I use it as a commuter too , it's my every day bike! Though , I plan on changing the front with a flat bar in order to gain maniability in the city ( keeping the old one for futher adventures ; ) )

[@joaomiguel1988]

Thought about that too but the bike looks great with this handlebar :) one think i did was changing the stem so its now pointing upwards, making the riding position a little more upright

[@TrailsonWheels]

It look good with this handlebar, and I like the position as well, I did the same change for the stem. Anyway, I will make a short video soon with the ''flat bar mode'' so you'll see how it look ;)

Bought my B-Twin Triban 100 literally three hours ago, used for a great price. Took it to the hills immediately and I love it so far! Still working with indexing the gears and adjusting the stem and dropbar angle, but it's wonderful. Great review! BTW I do agree that the brakes are quite soft and lack bite, I'll definitely replace the pads and see if that helps.

[@TrailsonWheels]

Great! Thank you for your comment, you'll see it change a lot to replace the pads I personally change them for Shimano ultegra pads and it works really well!

[@diegoleiva7242]

@@TrailsonWheels Three years too late, but Ultegra pads didn't do much. Replaced the wheels with DPX rims with a grooved braking surface and the braking power tripled instantly. I also switched to a 8sp cassette, Altus rear derraileur and a compact crankset. Plenty of bike for not a lot of money. Still got it and ride it every week.

[@TrailsonWheels]

Yes, defenetly, if indeed you have a low budget it will be perfect : )

[@spacitron4818]

The price is definitely important. If it's a do-it-all bike I want one that isn't going to break the bank when I need to replace parts or if it gets stolen.

[@slawek37113]

I think riding with SPD shoes should be much better for you. When i first tired them i can't imagine riding with normal shoes anymore, it's just much more power efficient and comfortable. One year ago i bought CX bike full aluminium with sora road components for 2.5 times more money than triban 100 but if i had to choose now then i would choose triban 100. I like cheap parts, drivetrain on triban 100. You can ride on all terrain without worrying for expensive road components. It's unusual for gravel bike to be that cheap and it is also quite light. I like steel fork because steel fork is flexible working as suspension. Maybe i will buy this bike later.

[@TrailsonWheels]

I'm riding with spd shoes already :) it's a necessity to stay on this bike in such tracks !! I bought this bike for my everyday life ! to do everything without being worried about any components ; )

[@PiE81]

Impressive. Which tires mounts your triban 100? Did you mantain all original equipment or did you change some parts?

[@amitkumar-wj8gn]

Hey, do you think we can replace the front chainring to a smaller size? If I put a 38 in the front, it would be much easier to ride all around (like a very cheap 1X version of a SRAM lo)...Great review btw, love the music...:)

[@TrailsonWheels]

Hey ! Thanks ! I don t think you can change only the chainring on this cause it s really cheap so don t think shimano has other size on this model. But yoy could easily change the hole chainset and choose one with 38. You can even take a mtb chainset and even with 3 chainrings and get rid of 2 of them. Just make sure it fits to your bottom bracket and adjust the size of your chain. Hope it helps a bit.

[@amitkumar-wj8gn]

@@TrailsonWheels thanks a bunch mate...:). I have been considering getting a touring/gravel bike for here in India since our roads are as good or bad as gravel roads in the first world...lol. Have been considering the Marin Four corners but this bike too got me interested since it's about half the price of the Marin and you have shown what it can do...and since its cheap I can spend some money on upgrading the bottom bracket and hte chainring...let's see, whether I do this or just go for the Marin. Regardless thank you so much for your time...You have a sub here! :)

@@amitkumar-wj8gn thanks for sub, well if your road are damage yeap a gravel bike is what you need ! I just had a quick look on Marin bike and it seems really good ! If it s going to be your only bike , the one you are going to ride every day (or almost) well i recommand you to choose the Marin because the btwin is more a second bike or a bike for small rides because the components are cheap... the frame is ok for the price but you will have less issues with the marin and i think in the end the b twin could cost more than the Marin bikes. Anyway i ll make a second edit with the triban 100 i think in january ! Hope you ll like it ! Cheers mate

Of course you can get some speed with this one. But on rocks it's going to shake a lot so it's harder than a mountain bike . In this video I have a gimble so it's appared quite smooth but i can tell you it wasn't. Anyway you'll find speed on every bikes it's just that some are easiest to ride with

This or a riverside 920? I will use it mostly on gravel and city but sometimes I could go with my friends on mountain tracks.

[@TrailsonWheels]

Hi ! I did not expect someone could compared a 260 euros bike with a 700 euros ! So no surprise I would go for the riverside 920. I mean for the city, both bicycle would work fine, but on gravel and mountain tracks, you'll be much better on the 920, especially with the 11 speeds, the suspension fork and mavic wheels! Defenetly more confortable and ready to climb !

[@StefanoGinnetti]

@@TrailsonWheels actually I'm comparing the 920 with the new triban 120. Both 6/700 euros. I'm not sure if go with a gravel or a more comfortable 920. In your opinion wich is a better choice?

[@TrailsonWheels]

@@StefanoGinnetti Oh I see the new Gravel one ! Well, for Gravel and city I would go for the 120 because of the geometrie, but it is pesonnal. I still think the 920 has better components with better group set and wheels which is a game changer for your mountain track, especially if it's hilly ! The 120 is the new gravel bike from B'twin, I like the Idea but I think components wheels + groupset is not great quality... So if you don't mind about the geometry of the bike go for the 920. That's my advice

Can you please compare this with the riverside 500? My usage would be mostly city, but wouldn't want to be restricted to go off roading too

[@TrailsonWheels]

Hi, the Triban 100 and Riverside 500 are 2 very different bikes ! The triban 100 is a road bike so you'll be faster in general! For the rest the Riverside 500 is way better in terms of confort and you'll have more gears . It has disc brakes and front surpension which is way better if you want to go offroad . I like the triban 100 better because of the sporty position but the Riverside 500 is better in terms of components and confort.

[@chinmaybadhe3098]

@@TrailsonWheels thank you for the prompt reply! I understand that Riverside 500 is a hybrid and Triban 100 is a road bike. I kinda wanted a do it all bike and heard some reviews about the Triban 100 where it was more prone to punctures as well as difficult to ride uphill. But it has better Shimano gears. Since they are around the same price range, will have to think about it.

[@TrailsonWheels]

@@chinmaybadhe3098 Well it's true it's hard to climb with the Triban 100. In terms of punctures, it's exactly the same as these bikes as the same tyres (not the same width but same model)

[@parisnicola91]

Great! Do you have changed some components, like pedals or saddle?

[@TrailsonWheels]

Hi! In the video I have change nothing except the pedals , i chose to set up clip-in pedals in order to be more efficient, have more stability , grip.... Since this video came out I have also change the saddle ( the original one was too big for me) . I have new break blocks ( the previous one were really poor quality). And that s it ! I like the way it is. I may change the chainset in the future

[@monkeyguy80]

Is it worth buying the Btwin triban 100 road bike?

[@dhananjeyk8824]

Hi, i have Btwin 500 (similar to Triban 120) and i have polygon path-2. Which one to retain? All i do is 2-3hrs fitness rides in city weekly 3 times. Whats your opinion on polygon path-2 frame and components? Here we have toomuch rumble strips on city roads.

[@TrailsonWheels]

Hi ! I see perfectly the B'twin 500 and the triban 120 : ) Well Concerning the components , the B'twin 500 is way better ! The only thing though is that the B'twin comes whith 700X28C tyres. So if I compare it to the Path 2 it seem that it would be less confortable. The Path 2 has 700 X35C (the one I checked on internet). If you want the best of the 2 I would go for the Btwin 500 and change the tyres ! You can easely fit a 700X35C pair :)

Salut ! C'est un bon bike pour tout les jours ? Velo taf ballades sportive etc ... il est roulant sur bitume ? On me disait que les composants vallaient rien et que c'etait un velo "jetable" car tout a changer au court terme du coup j'hesite ...

Salut! C'est un très bon vélo taf ou pour du loisir, pour de la vrai balade sportive c'est un peu limite au niveau des composants en effet. Le cadre est très bon, mais la transmission est limite si on veut vraiment accélérer.

It depends on your level but I found quite hard to climb with this one, It's heavy for a road bike ( 11,300 Kg) If you have a long trip to do or if you add weight on this bike you'll see it's hard to climb especially offroad. Anyway you can climb but on short distance

[@edwardkerrigan5356]

You can save a kilo by changing to road tyres = 10.3 kg, comparable to most entry level bikes at much higher price. The bottom gear isn't too bad.

@@TrailsonWheels Are the gears on it enough to climb up a 10% gradient hill?

[@Deiiman]

what is your average speed on normal road? :D

[@TrailsonWheels]

Ahah I don't practise road bike really so I can't tell you , I'm more a mountain bike kind of man! But I was surprise how fast this little beast can go !

[@himalayahillrider4704]

Bro can u please tell me hows btwin rockrider Mtb 540 is? Is it good bike for mountain as wel as city ride ? How is it quality to maintain is it long term bike its chain brakes?? Please help me out.... I am planning to buy btwin rockrider 540..

[@DHTCF]

I have this bike. Would be sooo much better with a QR on the back wheel, and a double chainring.

[@TrailsonWheels]

DHTCF so right about the QR for the backwheel as it is sooo much better and does not cost more! But I like to have only one chainring and put one more chain ring would make this bike more expensive.

[@DHTCF]

Trails on Wheels what about the ratios? I might like a single ring more if there was a bigger sprocket. And the shifter I don’t like at all. Re the QR, am not much of a mechanic, is that a modification one can make?

[@TrailsonWheels]

@@DHTCF i understand your point but the bike was built for short trip or as a commuter and to discover the sport so the ratio is ok for that . Well yeah the shifter is anoying right ahah^^ . For the rear weell there is nothing you can do exept changing your weelset because the frame accept QR for sure. You can find second hand pair for few amount of money but be carefull to take a cassette with it. I guess they did not use QR to prevent from steal...

[@frantisekdikacz5590]

dont know..really is this possible with triban 100?? on my second trip i`ve got a puncture :D

[@TrailsonWheels]

Yeah it is !!! I was pessimistic too about the wheels and the tires but it worked well for me ! Check that you have an adapted pressure in your tires ( I almost used the lowest pressure recommended that day which is 50 psi). Hope you have more luck next time ;)

[@frantisekdikacz5590]

ok will try your advice :)

[@slawek37113]

Puctures are just about tires, as i know it has quite good b'twin tires and i think that b'twin makes rather heavier more durable tires with more rubber so i think it should be quite pucture resistant. I see it has B’Twin Sport 700x32C (590 g) so these tires are really havy for 32 mm width, it must be strong with a lot of rubber. You must have had a bad luck and hit something sharp or just had too low pressure and rim puctured it.

[@nawaal4452]

The rims are that strong!? :o

[@TrailsonWheels]

Apparently they are! 4 years later still OK! I'm lightweight though!

[@dayfour9326]

@@TrailsonWheels Do you know if i can fit 700x38 size tyres in there? Thx

Weight of bike???

[@TrailsonWheels]

It's about 12 kg for the L size

[@deh862]

hi, should i get L or XL ? I'm 1.83 m tall.

[@TrailsonWheels]

Well this model doesn't exist in XL ( it exist in flat bar now ) but this one comes in L max. For 1.83m L is good ! I'm 1.80 and it is far from being short !

[@deh862]

thanks :D i will buy it soon, nice video btw

[@deh862]

Is it ok for riding hills ?

[@jordan295]

I picked up one in XL a week ago in a local decathlon store in the UK and love it! I’m 2.0m tall and had to obviously raise the seat still but I think a XL will work for you (best way to know is to try in store!)

[@deh862]

i ordered the L one..you are 2m tall which is a lot more than 1.83 and it matters in terms of bike size, thx for you answer :D
