Haha no. We tired. Prevailing winds would be more favorable going east but we drove back.

It’s not. The tape should be tightening as you have your hands on the bars.

You may want to watch the Park Tool video by Calvin Jones on how to wrap handlebar tape. I've seen them wrapped both ways on the tops, but wrapping towards the back on the tops makes more sense to me as your hands are pulling towards the back and if you wrap towards the front, you will loosen the tape. Not being critical...just presenting another way of doing it. Great video. Everyone has their own preference, and I suppose it can depend on how often you change your tape and where your hands are the majority of the time. If you are always in the drops it wouldn't matter which direction the tops are wrapped and vice versa. I'm sure the quality of the tape also has a lot to do with longevity, too.

@@bikesportsconot being critical either, but if your intention is for the tape to tighten as you ride than it's definitely wrapped the other way. Think of the accelerator of a motorcycle: when you accelerate your hands tend to have the same motion on the tops of the handle bar...

@@garyfleischman7555I first learnt how to wrap bar tape from that park tool video too!

stoked to hear!

@@user-sm1ur5bk2r I've been racing carbon bars for a long time and have crashed plenty and not broken them.

Those Enve bars with the recesses on the tops are crying out for a reverse wrap. The rubber ends also make for a very neat finish going in that direction.

Not sure how it translates to motorcycle tires, tbh.

Ha! we are surrounded by roads like these 😍

We’re on the ENVE MOGs with Shimano GRX 👍

Thank you 😊@@bikesportsco

Actually, this Feedback Range torque wrench is just a normal ratchet tool with the torque readout as a tension readout only on the end. The torque wrench portion isn't in the ratchet head like other wrenches. Using the tool normally doesn't engage the torque readout so you can do hard stuff like pedals as a normal ratchet and then when you need to torque something specific like seatposts or handelbars you can use the torque reader. - www.amazon.com/Feedback-Sports-Range-Torque-Ratchet/dp/B07HQTS15M/ref=sr_1_5?hvadid=634018733202&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9008167&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=17531051175391686437&hvtargid=kwd-638360156778&hydadcr=29036_14670964&keywords=feedback+torque+wrench&qid=1699893208&sr=8-5

We typically try to stay within riding distance to the start of events so we don't have to rent a car. We'll get an Uber X to and from the airport...they are typically SUVs or vans, so it's perfect. Alternatively, a shuttle company, yes...sometimes they require you to notify them that you have a bike due to room.

but did they get their van!?

Hey sorry for late reply. The trash can just covers the stock front take and holds the insulation on. There’s a heater line coming from the radiator, to some metal pipe to heat that tank, then back to radiator to become cooler but it’s still hot enough to heat the tank and the heat holds pretty well with the insulated trash can

Thanks, Brian <3 We have a great team helping us build 💪

Just keep putting oil in it. Any burning rubber bits, oil. Also check the blinker fluid.

@@bikesportsco put more oil in after it stopped working and was leaking oil?

Yes. If it’s leaking enough, you’ll never have to get an oil change again, you’ll just keep adding.

@@bikesportsco so we found out the thing called gaskets are broken and oil was mixing with the fuel.. i think you should probably not give advice :p

@@pinkiethesniper6630dog they told you to check the blinker fluid, they were messing with you.

Better extra cozy <3

Andrew, that's literally what the entire first minute is about.

Ok true I kinda missed that and given you need to buy a bike bag that specifically allows handle bars to remain on it could have been highlighted more good content tho 👍

@@andrewgrant3470 that is the downside to an integrated front end for sure (but it looks 😍😍😍). If you don’t have an integrated front end, I will have the ol’ cardboard box method video coming out in a couple weeks!

Yep. I missed that part completely. She had a video caption showing the bag model. That was it. I didn't even notice. She should've explained Aerocomfort bag a bit more. Like: The biggest difference between the Aerocomfort and other bike bags/boxes is that it's wide enough to accommodate an integrated cockpit without the complete dissemble. That's the KEY part of the video. That's the point she was trying to make: how to deal with the integrated problem. Anyone who have traveled with a bike before knows how to take off pedals, seat post, wheels, etc...the standard process...There's plenty of videos on YT showing you how to do it. The title of the video should be: Sicon Aerocomfort: the solution to the integrated bike traveling. The other thing I noticed after watching her video the second time was that her bar width is pretty narrow like 40cm? I wonder how my 44cm(C-C) bar would fit in that bag. The bar would have stick out on either side so much. A product specific video also needs to cover the flexibility of the key feature. Again, I had to go to Sicon's website to find out the widest part of the box is 50cm which should fit widest bars. This video could've used better scripting and editing.

Would love to share the weekend with ya!
