Going from a mountain bike to a road bike is not an 'upgrade'. It is just getting a different kind of bike. Good video 👍🏼

[@controllersolo5211]

Best budget road bike

[@RCGJR_]

Best budget road bike, good quality built bike for someone beginning to ride road bikes.

[@zaanvlogs]

Absolutely !!

[@vaishakh7634]

In my opinion, Btwin should have provided 2×7 gear ratio for this road bike. It would be good for long rides, especially at inclined roads

[@zaanvlogs]

Vaishakh, The bike would have become a really good overall package at that price but why would people go for Triban 120 if they get an additional crank in RC100 which costs almost half a price 😃. In a way it’s good that decathlon has provided so many options at different price points unlike many top brands where a basic road bike starts at ₹55,000+.

[@main_stream_media_is_a_joke]

@@zaanvlogs Quite frankly biking seems to have become a dick swinging competition between buyers and the companies are just adding fuel to the fire. Firefox with their pirate 3.0 gravel seems to have hit the sweet spot for a quality gravel bike for 40k.

[@zaanvlogs]

@@main_stream_media_is_a_joke The cycling scene in India has taken a huge leap post Covid and hence, the demand which is adding fuel to the fire like you said for these companies to take advantage and shoot up their prices. I am personally not a fan of Firefox as my friend did own a road bike which had constant issues with its hood getting dropped. Too many issues with the bearing. Decathlon does give you a better product and service as well. Infact the new Java Siluro 2 Disc has caught my attention as they have upgraded to Shimano Sora and carbon fork for 54k (worth the investment). No other brand is offering a carbon fork with sora groupset for this price point.

[@main_stream_media_is_a_joke]

@@zaanvlogs Any suggestions for a gravel bike within budget of 45k? I have been using a decathlon rockrider hybrid for the past 10+ years and would like to upgrade to a gravel bike.

[@zaanvlogs]

@@main_stream_media_is_a_joke I do some trails and tarmac riding myself and hence, i decided to go with the Scott Subcross 50 (Hybrid) that costs Rs.37,000. It comes with 700x45 kenda tyres, Tourney groupset, alloy frame and forks. Hydraulic disc breaks. I have been riding for a year now and its a really good gravel bike.

[@danieltdp]

The steel fork absorbs the road vibrations better! Can you say if the branding is a sticker or if it's painted?

[@zaanvlogs]

Hi Daniel, Branding is of a good quality sticker.

[@kundansahu8126]

there is no downside for steel fork it is plus point cuz steel absorbs vibration from road much better, i have this bike and i love it.

[@jonasdove3589]

What would be the correct size for me? I am around 5’8 and bought a L.

[@zaanvlogs]

@@jonasdove3589 ideally for your height you should have opted for size M but size L will be more upright and good for your endurance rides.

[@jonasdove3589]

@@zaanvlogs i just feel M would be more comfortable. Do i exchange? Or should I take my time getting used to L? The whole size thing seems to be a mess.

[@troywalt4834]

You certainly don't want an aluminium fork unless you like a bumpy ride, steel is a much superior material for the fork because it absorbs vibrations a lot better

[@krishnabhatt8390]

I want to put a bell near the left side brake handle and was wondering where I get such a bell in Delhi

[@EvgeniTudzharski]

Would this bike would be good as a city bike? Also need to put a baby seat behind…

[@zaanvlogs]

No, I would prefer you go with the straight bar option on this bike as the position will be upfront and you can have a baby seat installed either on the front tube or a carrier at the back. This is a drop bar and mostly recommended for solo riding.

[@thewaiter4095]

Hello, I'm 173cm, could you please tell me that which size should I go for (Small 165cm-173cm or Medium 173cm-182cm). I have to buy online because there's no Decathlon near me. Thank you for your time.

[@zaanvlogs]

Hi, As you are 173cm, you can go with the medium size. It will fit you well. Once you purchase the bike, please set the correct seat height for a comfortable ride and maximum power output. All the best !! (Do subscribe to the channel if you have'nt 🙂)..

[@jonasdove3589]

The decathlon guys keep suggesting me to go for an L. If I set the seat height right, it is comfortable but i see most of the guys who are up till 5’ 10 go for M. I am 5’8 and bought an L. Did I make the right decision or no?

[@thewaiter4095]

@@jonasdove3589 Hello. I went for a M size, it was perfect for me. Did you buy online?

[@anup1132]

Bro , is the cog upgradable to sora groupset?

[@zaanvlogs]

Hi Anup, You need to change the whole set including the cog incase your upgrading to a Sora Groupset.

[@anup1132]

@@zaanvlogs i think the cost will be equivalent to buying higher end road byk.thx bro

[@zaanvlogs]

@@anup1132 Yes, buying a new road bike will make a lot of sense as you can also opt for carbon fork and thin tyres. Basically the overall package will be better in a new bike.

[@Hackertanmoy]

Bro I am a 5’11 , 90 kg rider can this cycle handle my weight, i have doubts on its spokes . And in your opinion should i go for the flat bars or should i try something new with the drop bars

[@zaanvlogs]

Hello Tanmoy, Since you are 5’11 go with a size L. Weight does not matter as the tyre pressure is almost 80-90 on the drop bars. Having said that, if your getting into cycling after a long time and this is your first bike, I would suggest you go for a flat bar as drop bar can be a bit challenging in the beginning but if your wish to ride long 60-80kms on weekends then go with the drop bars as you can ride a little faster. P.S the owner of this Triban RC 100 in the video was almost 96kgs and now he’s down to 82.. so don’t worry about the weight.

[@Hackertanmoy]

@@zaanvlogs thanks brother for your kind information. Actually i am bit worried about its review on the spokes and rims ,as i live in town where i deal with both good roads and a broken road with big speed breakers ,I am worried that will this cycle able to handle the stress . Bcz for me investing 20-25 k on a cycle will be a big deal. And i want a good balue for money road bike or hybrid bike.

[@zaanvlogs]

@@Hackertanmoy considering your riding condition and the other reviews you've heard about RC100 rims, i would suggest you go with a hybrid. BERGAMONT HELIX 1.5I C1 is a good option. Many people rode this bike and the built quality is also good. The tyres are 35C which are perfect for your weight and can handle any road conditions. I have reviewed this bike on my channel. You can watch that video for more details.

[@Hackertanmoy]

@@zaanvlogs thanks brother for ur help

[@zaanvlogs]

@@Hackertanmoy welcome. Do leave a comment here when you pick up a new bike 👍🏼

[@sambhavgaming1152]

I am confused between triban rc 100 and viva cruiser 700c , can you help me with these two. I would really appreciate

[@zaanvlogs]

Hi Sambhav, To be honest, i do not know how the service or the wear and tear on the VIVA bike is. You need to look at the service aspect while buying the bike as well. On the other hand, decathlon provides you one of the best service in India when it comes to bicycles. The parts are durable and are available easily incase of any damage. Having said that, if you think you can take viva to a local mechanic for its service and replacement then go for it as they do provide good components too.

[@WADESWORLDMN]

Is that size large or Xl

[@zaanvlogs]

Hi Corey, That is an L size.

[@WADESWORLDMN]

@@zaanvlogs how tall are you? I'm 6.2 from the united states I've never had sizes before I think I'm between large and XL. Not sure which one, I bought large

[@zaanvlogs]

@@WADESWORLDMN Size L for your height will make you more aerodynamic but a little uncomfortable (Until you get use to it). XL will be a bit more relaxed and good for long endurance ride. My friend who got the Triban is 5.9' tall and he got an L.

[@WADESWORLDMN]

@@zaanvlogs I can always exchange it for a XL, thank you so much my friend! Cheers

[@zaanvlogs]

Yes, it’s absolutely fine.. just make sure to maintain the tyre pressure at 100psi everytime to ride.

@@zaanvlogs really appreciate the reply.

[@supertrampalex]

How is it after a year?

[@zaanvlogs]

Hello, It is in a very good condition. We changed the tyres from back to tan and the bike looks really cool now. I feel it is a very good "First Road Bike" bicycle. You can see how it looks with the new tyres by clicking the link below to this video; kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ_Eo32Jo7uEY8k

[@supertrampalex]

@@zaanvlogs looks a lot better for sure. I'm thinking of getting it for commuting to work, do you think it's a good idea over typical commuter bike? Where i live it's flat, literally flat. I'm looking for something that doesn't have a lot of drag and retains speed well.

[@zaanvlogs]

@@supertrampalex unless you want to ride around 100kms on a weekend apart from your daily commute, i would recommend you go with a hybrid with 32C or 28C tyres that will help you maintain a constant avg speed. Besides, you can also install bike racks if you need to carry additional baggage.

[@Brislu]

Quantos KM fazes tu quando sais? Pergunta sincera. Estou a pensar em mudar de MTB a estrada/gravel. Apanhei o gosto de rolar sem parar (36 anos muda um pouco o mind set😅). Não fica curta de câmbios nas subidas?

[@zaanvlogs]

@@Brislu Fazemos cerca de 50-100kms nos fins de semana. Você pode andar de bicicleta de estrada ou de cascalho, mas isso depende do terreno em que você anda. Se você tem boas estradas e quer andar de longa distância, vá com uma bicicleta de estrada. Considerando a sua experiência, acho que você pode mudar para uma estrada agora.

[@Brislu]

@@zaanvlogs a ideia seria comprar uma em segunda mão para o projecto. Esse quadro é usado nos modelos gravel da Decathlon até aos 1000€ aqui na Europa. O quadro é sem dúvida a única coisa que preciso 😅 na verdade.

[@Necrosintesys]

This bike was really easy to assemble kzbin.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
