I think it is better to drop the fork out (or at least turn it so that it points back into the frame) and remove the rear derailleur. The brifter lever being so close to the edge of the box is in a very vulnerable position and can be easily broken on an airline belt or in the plane as it is jostled around. The rotors can moreover be easily warped because they are right against the cardboard.

You are the man! You made this two years ago and industry has yet to catch up!

Excellent instructions. Thank you!

Which has the widest nose?

Love this clever comparison. Top10% clever man in the world.

Call me crazy but i bought a 2018 TCX and after like 4000kms, it almost replaced everything i have. It' my new favourite all-around. Of course this always depends ond the expectatives of the user, in my case i do everything but nothing competitive and that's where this bike shines for me. I barely ride my mtb now and i sold my road bike (which was kinda planned when i bought the TCX). Very good video! very insightful :)

Great video.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'm going this route. No room for more bikes.

Hey are those 37mm fenders?

Do you notice people approaching you from the rear or do you have to intentionally look? I imagine it'd be easier to see vehicles as opposed to other cyclists?

I hot wax with common parrafin wax with a 1:10 ratio of 1.6micron PTFE powder + a liquid form used for topups inbetween hot waxing. The cost is minimal compared to the typically over-priced mass-produced products on offer. I spend about 2 hours on hot waxing my chain, doing other things to the bike in the meantime. Making my own hot wax and permanent liquid version takes about an hour total. A pot of hot wax, as long as the chain is thoroughtly cleaned before hand, will last 6 months or more. XC riding, I hot wax around every 200kms, more if I liquid wax topup every ride. Will never buy over-priced products again, especially since the home brew I make is the same as some company's offering, but without the flashy packaging, enticing name, and marked up profit costs. I think such product are for people who think spending this small amount of time and effort on DIY is too much of a commitment, so they gravitate towards others who do the work for them, but chage an arm a and a leg for their service\product...even though the product can be created by anyone.

I am sceptical about MIPS in this "first" (inside liner) version. I agree, for me, it also looks that you have to wear your helmet unrealisticaly tight for it to really work and make a difference. I tried on MIPS and non-MIPS helmets, and that's what I noticed. Otherwise both helmets slide on your hair similarily, but MIPS makes a helmet less comfortable and blocks some ventilation. I'd prefer this GIRO version, where the outer shell moves, Lazer Kineticore solution, or Bontrager Wavecel, those have more sense to me.

No sanding, no prep, interesting

where can I get one?

The one reason why I wouldn't buy any SRAM crankset (or any of the many Chinese knockoffs) is that I don't want to be forced to spend hundreds of dollars on a big-ass torque wrench for the spindle bolt.

Thank you, great tip’

Hello, is sram crankset dub able to apply for Shimano lip 8 speeds?

thanks for review

As far as i know, now they have new titanium axle with better deep spline teeth.

Trek x caliber 7 xl frame 29" ..what tyres dobyou reccomend to makecthis more of a hybrid ?

Hi, I know this is a bit of an old but I'm looking to have a go at this and have a question. The potential purchase is a rival 1x hrd and secondly a new LH lever blade kit which judging by the kit picture it doesn't have any parts that a shift cable will slide into. My question is, does the standard 1x lever have the drum in it already that a shift cable can slide into? Or will I need that piece?

Princess pedal stroke. Drop that heel

You're lying. This bike - even with the 1500g wheels - is sluggish as hell. Hard to accelerate and hard to ascent. It is a good bike, but if you want to ride race bicycle - don't buy it.

Me: I dunno, man ... 6k views? 7k subscribers? I don't know if this is worth my Daughter, chasing after duck: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR Me: (slams LIKE button so hard my mouse breaks)

Thank you!

For me the difference of the brighter light could be the difference of a driver seeing you better which could be a life saver. When it comes to safety you can not put a dollar value.

Good advise

Old thread, but interesting, I think that the newer HG compatible SRAM Apex AXS 12 speed 11-44 is probably preferable to the previous 10-44 on the XDR freehub. It starts with 11-12-13, so nice small jumps where you need them, as pushing a larger gear is hard. You can then match this up to a 44 tooth chainring, 44 x 11 gives you exactly the same 111.4 gear inch top gear as a 40 x 10 setup, and a 1:1 lowest gear of 44 x 44. If you need lower, you need Eagle anyway probably. And it will be more efficient as well (bigger chainrings and cassette sprockets are more efficient than smaller ones). I do think on both 10-44 and 11-44 they missed a trick at the lower end, going 28-32-38-44, the gear inch changes don't increase as they should by having 4,6,6 tooth gaps, giving 5.0, 5.5 and 4.0 fewer gear inches. 28-32-37-44 would be much more logical and 4,5,7 tooth gaps giving 5.0, 4.7 and 4.8 fewer gear inches.

Gonna get this to save my taint lol. Nothing worse then a long ride is your ass going numb and your taint feeling like a horse kicked you there lol 😂😩

How would you rate the stiffness of the bike after the upgrades, maybe to TCR?

What was supposed to be able to unscrew that mount?

you forgot the biggest negative....it's an aluminum frame!

Nice

Can we use Sram crank arm with shimano chainring?

The BB looks close to the floor

and... we're still waiting for the long term review.

Once again 😂

Good review. Just fitted one to my SC Tallboy. Looking forward to testing tonight. Btw. It Works “Components”. Not composites. 😉👌

LOL I've used a mirror and it is more effective than the radar systems because you are always aware of looking in it to see cars approaching. Much cheaper also.

My bike has the SRAM GXP, Can I remove it and be able to change to one of the DUB ones without any problems?

what is that box under the water bottle? 3D printed storage? how does it mount?

Great review. I ordered a pair today!

GXP was bad, for engineering reasons (floating driveside bearing, no way to preload the bearings). BB30 was even worse and has rightfully died a long time ago. PF30 wasn't quite as bad but had tiny bearings so ate those for fun. DUB tried to solve that problem by shaving 1mm off the diameter, so basically the same and almost as bad. In summary bad, badder, not as bad, not as bad. Ultimately, avoid. Sram is doing some excellent things, in mtb and road, but cranks aren't one of them. Also when you say 'bottom bracket', in reference to the frame, then you should say 'bottom bracket shell'.

The oval should be equivalent to a slightly larger ring during the power stroke and equivalent to a slightly smaller ring during the time the pedals are more vertical. Revolution slows during applying power and speeds during less power. Best comparison should be an Oval with maybe 2 less teeth compared to the round ring. Say 30 tooth oval to 32 tooth round. That way power application remains the same but during less power application the oval ring speeds up just a bit. The advantage of the oval is the slight increased speed when less pedal power is being applied.

This is a great run down thanks! I'm reviving an early cannondale 29er and don't have a clue what I'm looking at.

Does this really work on the newer kind of sram dub cranks? It seems like the non drive side is just pressed on and not screwed like on the older ones unfortunately. 😢

Are you able to do bunny hops on the Giant Contend AR 1? Thanks!

This is such a great video. You've taken the time to patiently explain everything you do and why. Other videos I've seen don't explain why they do each step, which means you don't really understand what they are doing. Brilliant, thank you!

A pool noodle would work well for protection.

On my recumbent trike I’ve never had an issue with Cycliqs on the front and rear and side mirrors. I was taught to keep perdiodically glancing at my mirrors to scan for any potential threat and react accordingly but I have thought about getting a Garmin Varia for my trailer just for that extra bit of safety however I don’t feel like it’s necessary yet. I do feel like the Fly 6 has saved me more than I probably realise because of the circling light feature letting everyone know that they are being filmed and people act differently on camera especially on the road. They give you more distance more notice and are far more weary because no one wants their stupidity all over the Internet. Several years back I was involved in a hit and run on my upright trike and I was running one of the 1st gen fly 6s and I was riding along some back roads when this company Ute comes drifting around the corner at 80km/h (on a 40km/h road) and T-bones me. Luckily I escaped only with rainbow bruising up my legs but my trike managed to spin around and capture the number plate, the company name plastered all over the car and captured the face of the driver. I was able to take the driver to court and was subsequently paid by his insurance to cover all damages plus medical and the Driver went to prison. Maybe the Varia could have told me the car was there sooner, I don’t know, But I do know that without the Cycliq I wouldn’t have been able to capture the information needed to take the culprit to court.
