Two people whose names start with A - focused on bringing you content based on bikes. One rides, one shoots, but it is the relationship that we think is interesting. Our goal is to put out 12 videos this year while at the races, but focused on athlete/sponsor/photographer relations and how the job gets done for a professional bike racer and photographer in the US.

DREAM BUILD: Gravel Bike - ENVE MOG

Come along with us as we build out my fully custom ENVE MOG gravel bike for the finale of the LTGP racing season. We have aptly been calling this the mustard MOG and wow does that yellow deliver! Our goal with each bike build is to try to make it a little different: here we are playing around with different lenses and how to really bring the viewer (you) into the garage when we do these builds!...

Hardest training camp: 36 hours replicating a stage race
มุมมอง 26K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
8 days of training straight in BWR AZ to finish off my early season training camp in Tucson. Being a privateer requires a lot of off the bike attention, so if you want to be fit when race season comes, that means focusing a lot on the bike when you have time! I have worked with my coach since I was 14 and it is always fun to build out weeks like this and learn more about how we can get fast. Ma...

lol, you guys can build em faster with the light on!
Funny enough it was our fastest bike build ever ;)
We love cyclists, cycling and our roads are great ! Please come and ride ! But also, please remember that our roads are still roads, not a track. I live at the feet of Mt Ventoux, and too many times do I see cyclists behaving like they're on the Tour de France, or on track, completely disregarding driving code and signalization. And I say all that as a car driver, motorbike rider and bicycle rider (even though I mostly ride a BMX).
We try to be respectful of everyone! Being safe with cars is a two way street!
Nice video man! Wish I could watch the road race in person and ride on some of the French roads.
Alexey ... Love the build!! Curious how you travel with an internally routed/integrated frame like the MOG? Do you use a case like the Scicon? Or is there enough slack in the InRoute system to let the bars come off and use a more traditional travel case (Evoc, Thule, etc)? Love your videos!! Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words! Yes, I typically use one of the cases from EVOC or Scicon that allows the 1 piece bars to stay on.
Tubeless good for trail good for cold place...... Sun don't like sealant 😁
I think you are using the wrong sealant ;) Do you have issues with it drying up?
good luck Sophie!
great edit. sick bike!
Thanks!
I don't even have an iPhone and I already hate that ringtone 😆
hahaha
NICE - BUT (like every TH-cam Comment) why the paint is bit sloppy faced off at delicate points at the frame? like BB etc?
Sorry we don't understand your question
Is the dramatic lighting important to ensure for a good bike build? I've just been using normal workshop lighting up to this point. Btw, does Sophie have a last name?
Everything is more important under dramatic lighting in my findings. Also she does indeed! Sophie Linn. - Avery
nice build but shouldnt one wear a mask sawing carbon?
A couple more comments and I will think about it!
just annoying
Who? What?
@@alexeyandavery this phone calls interruption
frame is sick on video, sicker in person! bars cut or stock 760?
Bars cut to 720!
I thought I would get to see more drawers full of blue boxes, but alas, SRAM. I love that you're a legit mechanic and top contender.
Sophie works for SRAM and they support her as an athlete which is cool! It was fun building something different and unique for her
@@alexeyandavery makes great sense. Always fun to play w new bike stuff whatever it is.
Disproving the stereotype that pro road cyclists can’t do mechanics
Gotta show off sometimes!
No doohickey.
Willy made me subscribe :-)
Sorry - he has a habit of doing that!
that close up BB installation is sick, please include that kind of shot in the future video
Takes a long time to setup that shot! Glad you liked it! Thanks!
Weight?
7.1 kg
You guys did an amazing job shooting and cutting this one. As for sealant, I've had great success prefilling a little 2 oz with Orange Seal, emptying it into the valve, and swabbing said valve clean to avoid build up. A lot cleaner, and more precise volume of liquid too!
Thanks! I usually inject through the valve as well and then pump before putting the valve in to clear out the leftover sealant
Loved it. Imma buy you a spray bottle for when you cut carbon next time to stop all that dust 😬
Thanks!
Surprising it's not a one-piece stem and handlebars, but I'm sure Sophie will win anyway!! Good luck Sophie!
We built this within the last 3 weeks before the Olympics so Sophie didn’t want to change anything from the setup of her previous bike . 2 piece is still aero AF!
@@alexeyandavery Please delete this message, I've convinced my partner that a two-piece setup is like a sail in the wind. I'd hate for her to think I was making things up to be able to buy new parts! 😁
@@davidv6803 hahahahaha
That’s fucking rad
Thanks! We had fun with this
And a 1 t-shirter build… getting faster 😂
We were a bit rushed on this one
Very satisfying, loved the flow, except for the bin of tangled bottle cages, totally killed the vibe 😂.
It’s organized chaos 😂
rented the probe lense
Awesome video! Curious why Alexey went with orange sealed for sealant vs silca? Keep up the great content!
I have been with Orange Seal since 2021 and have always loved their product! I work with Silca in other categories, but have never used their sealant.
Just over here fanboy’n that not only does Alexey do his own build but it also takes him days 😂
haha! Multiple days and multiple shirts!
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤❤❤❤❤❤
Curious about the crank. I did the same thing on my bike (for weight and gearing), and the GRX spacing didn't play well with the Dura-Ace crank. It was 100% fine on normal roads and gravel, but was prone to dropping chains to the inside on heavy rough washboards, even with a chain catcher. Have you had the same issues? I now just run a GRX crank if the surface is going to be extra chunky.
hmmm, I have never had issues as the teeth are the exact same which is how the chain should be held on. Chain isn't too long? FD correct distance from chainring teeth?
What is the reason we can’t buy the one piece bar
The goal is for the 1 Piece bar to be available to the public, it just isn't available for purchase yet.
@@alexeyandavery Allright
Best bike build ever of the best gravel bike ever!
Thanks! I don't think we are bias at all :)
It never occurred to me to forgo the doohickey. This morning I had occasion two re-wrap the bars on my trainer bike and the doohickey was forwent. Never again with the doohickey!
There MIGHT be occasional time for the doohickey, but it feels a lot better in my opinion without it!
@@alexeyandavery The *presence* of the doohickey doesn't really bother me. It's the faffing about with it that's a pain in the ass. I'm feeling more satisfaction from having not used it, and for the feeling of being a bar tape craftsman, than for any aesthetic or ergonomic benefits. Thanks for the demonstration. This is the way,
What kind of scissors are those?
Some kind of fabric cutting scissors - nothing I bought special for bikes, just needed scissors when I was on a trip somewhere!
Great video guys! Quick Q? Where do you get these funky Enve tshirts ? Thanks
A secret room at ENVE HQ in Ogden :)
this felt very romantic. a love story of a boy and a bike.
I did fall in love - Alexey
great video, loved the BB view and the bar tape was satisfying
Avery makes movie magic
This paint job makes me think of Anakin’s N-1 Starfighter… Inspo?
No relation, but I see it!

Sick build. Stellar video. So good!
Thanks, Adam!
Only one of the top 5 in the US Men's Pro Road National Champs of 2024 can build their own bike from frame up.
I broke a lot of shit before I figured it out :) - Alexey
Can you do that next time in slow motion? I can’t work that fast😂 Very cool video!!!
ha! I will let Avery know! - Alexey
That’s one tasty bike 😍
Its pretty...pretty!
figure 8 bar tape is bulky and weighs more. i like to get a more solid grip around that area on my bars, but im sure everyone is different. also i cant imagine using a file, even if its a carbon specific file, can give a good finish for a cut carbon steerer tube.
No wide shot of the whole bike in the light. What a tease.
This was more of a forgotten moment than a tease! Sorry!
Great bike build! Awesome video!
Thanks! We had fun with this one!
What are you using on the Di2 cable in the rear derailleur? It looks like a braided sleeve.
Yeah it is a braided cover and some rubber to protect the DI2 Cable - ENVE ships it with all their frames, but I just love the aesthetics of it - Alexey
I was curious if that was aftermarket because I’d like to get some!
@@jshippy10 I am pretty sure you can buy it on Amazon as 'Braided Cable Sleeve' - Rubber is harder to find, but I think I did on amazon too somehow
Great video, Avery. I was about to say something regarding the ENVE shirts. Great marketing. Surprised you didn’t do the SILCA wax treatment on the chains 😊
YOU NOTICED! We are impressed! ha Silca waxing always happens, just ran out of shirts to film it in this video! ;)
Great video Alexey
Thank you!
Enve needs to give clients a bit more colours in their bikes.
Their paint manager will paint nearly anything you want.
A little birdy told me its coming ;)
Yes, this. I am thinking about a Mog but hate the matte colors. Give me metallic gloss paint please.
