Upgrading my ENTRY LEVEL BIKE with CARBON WHEELS

[@joet7475]

Thanks for this bud. I’ve been looking for some inspo to upgrade my Diverge Expert. Wheels are where I’ll start after watching this 👌🏼

[@Kai_A93]

Loving the longer content on here chap, wheels look mint 👌

[@Daaaanjj]

thanks mate!

[@georgellewellyn_]

that UC jacket is lovely, the pink is delightful

[@s0nietta]

Really cool vid. Love how relaxing it is just to see you cycle in the lovely countryside. Keep it up!

[@Daaaanjj]

love to hear, thanks

[@kulchatha4657]

I get the gimp suit and cant really get into lol, I wear bib shorts and some really slim fitted nike bottoms over top lol

[@georgellewellyn_]

production is incredible every time mate

[@faisal7043]

I did exactly the same upgrade on my Giant contend and the difference was remarkable. Keep the good content coming dude 👌👍

[@owenhughes2903]

Enjoyed this vid Dan, youve earned a new sub. I think that big radar thing is Jodrel Bank isnt it? I use to live in those parts years ago. Keeo up the good work.

[@Daaaanjj]

thanks a lot. Yeah it is Jodrel, nice riding round them ends

[@aliyahefotte776]

Need a gear tour!

[@liammillington585]

Awesome content Dan, I’m from Chester and ride some of those routes you go down between delamere and tatton park. Might see you out one day 🙌🏼

[@alexfullalove9667]

Would be great to see a more in depth video on the wheels. Got rapides on my tarmac but been thinking about something like these hunts on my Allez. Living in Goostrey I can confirm, the dish is how we speak to our families on Mars.

[@JamesSmith-ly2ef]

I have just put a set of Hunt 4 seasons on my Allez with some 32mm Pirelli tubeless for winter and it shaved over 650g off the weight, the stock wheels on the Allez are a bit 💩

[@alexfullalove9667]

@@JamesSmith-ly2ef thanks for that. In the new year I’ll definitely look at doing that then. My old rim brake allez had R460s which were awful but the new disc version has even worse wheels on it.

[@miguelowd]

Great video Dan, as always love the music selection. Do you have any Spotify playlist?

[@bjarneprien]

it might be easier to put the overshoes on first, then the shoes, and then fold them down over the shoes ✌✌

[@gussaunders6685]

I’m sure others have said this. But nevertheless. 1 - Socks 2 - Bib tights 3 - Second pair of socks if needed 😂 4 - Overshoes on and pull them above your socks 5 - Shoes Enjoy the wheels 🚀

[@jakubmihal3722]

Overshoes hack: 1.overshoes on leg 2. then put your shoes on 3. try to dress them on. In this order i dress my velotoze overshoes and it works quite well . Sorry for my english hope you understand how i mean it.

[@028healey]

was just about to post this!

[@Daaaanjj]

thanks, will try it. When people say 'overshoes on first' i always thought they meant put them on the shoes first haha

[@fuller1074]

Can't recommend some Spatz Legalz overshoes enough, Dan. The only real option for British winters!

[@Daaaanjj]

heard great things about Spatz. Might be the move

[@rheadonabike]

Never mind the wheels … WTF have you got on your feet ? …Crocs 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@K.D.B23]

Put the overshoes on first then your shoes and put the over shoes over

[@blaze1148]

Exactly - roll the overshoes up your shin put shoes on then pull down overshoes over shoes lol.

[@harrisonbradshaw8724]

What camera you filming these on? Loving the vids boss

[@Daaaanjj]

sony a7iii when at home, then DJI Action 2 when out and about mate. Cheers

[@HurditHere]

That gimp suit feeling is mutual…

[@Daaaanjj]

has to be done tho in these baltic conditions

[@alexmorgan1978]

Fwoah! Broke two SETS of wheels? That's impressive... what was the make of your old wheels?

[@Daaaanjj]

They were the Axis Elite wheels that came stock with the Diverge mate! Freehub went on both of them… covered under warranty but hugely annoying either way

[@alexmorgan1978]

Should've waited til the end of the vid to ask, answered my own question 😬

[@klein-concept]

Too many watts in your legs mate 🤌

[@alexmorgan1978]

@@Daaaanjj nuts that it was the exact same issue twice. Hope the new ones remain a joy to ride

Appreciate it!

[@blaze1148]

Why do you have your jacket undone form the bottom up rather than top down....

[@Daaaanjj]

that's how it's designed to be worn if you get hot. If I undid it from the top the wind is going to cause it to flap about in my face...

[@blaze1148]

@@Daaaanjj Ahh ok - never seen that.....just looks like the zip is broken lol.

[@kulchatha4657]

can you not just put road tyres on your stock wheels?

[@Daaaanjj]

The stock wheels have broken on me twice in a few months

[@kulchatha4657]

I get you. Was just wondering if it’s possible though. I have Boardman 8.9 adventure gravel bike and was thinking can I get away with just road tires on the rims it come with

[@Daaaanjj]

ah got you, yeah should defo be able to switch to road tires on gravel a gravel bike. Probs make it feel better on the roads! @@kulchatha4657

[@neilfox9540]

It's mad that Hunt would send you free £1k carbon wheels for an account with less than 3,000 subs. Would love to know their business logic - do they expect say 5 additional orders from your views to make it worth their while? Or is it just a general brand awareness move in the hope that you grow your channel. Either way credit for attracting sponsors so early in your journey.

[@Daaaanjj]

check my TikTok and Instagram mate, might make more sense then. new to YT, but not new to the other channels

[@neilfox9540]

@@Daaaanjj ah that makes more sense and also why your content is so polished for a beginner. Keep up the great work!

[@georgeb7641]

Calling a 3k bike an entry level bike is tone deaf, love the content but seriosuly?

[@jay-ts8ux]

It’s about 1k - he has the aluminium one, and regardless of the price - it is an entry level bike, bike’s are just expensive!!

[@Daaaanjj]

Ill informed comment I'm afraid mate. 1) it's not £3k lol, it's the aluminium Diverge. Can pick it up for £1,650 on the Specialized site right now... still a lot of money like I said, but relative to other new bikes on the market it's on the low end... It is an entry level bike.

@@georgeb7641 nonsense. I'm not responsible for the prices of bikes mate, this is unfortunately how the market is unless you buy second hand
