Charming of the cat to do its business in the middle of your recording! Loving the bike, i think the changes are sound

[@TriathlonDan]

Haha I know right, didn’t notice until I was editing it 😂🤦‍♂️

When I'm talking in the garden they assume I'm talking to them and come to join me haha :D

tt tyres and butyl inner tubes - wtaf

[@TriathlonDan]

Balances out doesn’t it 🤣🤷‍♂️

[@ben-lu3vd]

Good choice of bike, what were those handlebars you mentioned having 28cm hoods, and what is the music track called that's playing in the background?

[@TriathlonDan]

They were aerocoach but I never took delivery. Erm not sure, I use epidemic sound and just pick random ones, it's a great resource!

[@ajsds66]

TPU inner tubes, brilliant.

[@TriathlonDan]

Ahh never tried them!

@@TriathlonDan As a fellow clincher and rim brake enjoyer; give the Aliexpress Ridenow ones a good crack. Haven't had an issue with the 30+ gram ones.

[@TriathlonDan]

@@Legacysteve2469 I’ll have a look! Long live the rim brake

[@benlavin6922]

Some TPU inner tube manufacturers say they aren't suitable for rim brake bikes because of the potential heat transfer. I believe many people still go ahead though.

[@ajsds66]

@@benlavin6922 , Rim brake here, never a problem.

[@irondistance4313]

Ha ha click bait. 😂. Did you down grade the gaffer tape holding your saddle rails in place. I would say you made a few practical considerations rather than downgrades

[@TriathlonDan]

Just need 1M views on a Canyon video ;) haha yes I have a correct shaped saddle rail saddle now! Forgot to even mention that LOL

[@matkrek]

Beautiful bike, sounds like functional changes

[@TriathlonDan]

Thanks :)

Shout out to the cat showing its authority.

[@ampgb223]

It's your bike at the end of the day, whatever makes you comfortable and ride the bike more is the key. going to look in to waxing my chains though.

[@TriathlonDan]

Exactly that, I've got lots more riding to do :D

[@malcolmgraham9462]

Not a downgrade - just a rationalisation given your planned usage. V sensible.

[@TriathlonDan]

Only sensible thing I’ve done in life I think 🤣

[@AdamMeadowcroft]

GP5000’s TT. Not sure you quite get this downgrade word right. Pop yourself off to Decathlon Dan 😂

[@TriathlonDan]

Haha they were last years TT bike tyres, so a hand-me-down :D

[@Tim1768-r5r]

Use TPU tubes 😉

[@TriathlonDan]

I hear people raving about those!

[@saracen888]

Best wheelset Zipp have ever made

[@TriathlonDan]

Yes they’ve been spot on!

[@ditto1958]

It must be difficult, even dangerous, to rode that bike with no pedals.
