Your position is really upright.

What happened to your posts, miss your channel

for a 1-2 day ride, could these be a good option? I've got all my tools and spares in a saddle bag. Need space for a thin rain jacket, a pair of shorts and tshirt, and a charger... too much?

Great ride,. Lovely scenery

Excellent, just planning Broadstairs (my home town) to Wells (my home) for late spring.

This is a great review. I am hoping to ride 80% road 20% gravel... On my brand new giant defy... And I was contemplating between the gravel King slicks in 35 or the schwalbe g one rs in 35....

Ace. Just going to click subscribe.

Gonna give these a shot on my Grail. Bought the 700x50 version with graphene. Hopefully better weight on those. Currently running Swalbe G_one bite. I do a lot of road & a mini amount of gravel riding on that bike . Update ... Bought the 700cx50..lots of volume . Ran them 27.5psi rear 26 front. Very rough, lose & slightly wet terrain. I was utterly surprised they handled it fairly well. Very capable for a center slick with very , very mild side knobs.

How does resting at the tops feel? Doesn't it feel awkward with the lack of sweep coz the tops looks straight.

Can you put inner tube etc and wrap it around bars?

Hello IS this the 420 or 400? :) thank you for the work putting in the video

love mine. It's on my road ride. I use a bigger one on my gravel bike because I'm only a weight weenie when on the road bike. 🤣

Prob the best video ive seen on NCR 2. I'll be doing it in a couple of weeks from Commando Training Centre Royal Marines (Lympstone) to Eastney Barracks Portsmouth as part of the RM 1664 ride. This is a good heads up to see what I'll be expecting. Thanks for uploading.

Thanks for posting this, it looks an amazing ride. I can't wait to get a train to Dover and pick it up from there. A lot more slowly than you though, I can't believe how far you covered in 2 days.

Hi Chris, does the Apidura Musette a good job so far?

I hated these tires. They are narrower than other 38c or 40c tires, which means you have to put more pressure on them and get more punctures, lose more sealant and get a stiffer ride in return. They're more expensive and less capable than their competition. Changed to a cheaper Kenda Flintridge pro and to a Schwalbe afterwards and will never go back to one of these. On the positive side, yeah, probably nothing runs faster and smoother among gravel tires than these.

Great video Chris! I'm eyeing this exact model for the same features you mentioned. PRO doesn't make the same version in carbon though. Did you come across any other brands in carbon with the same features? I need a very short reach, 65mm or even less. Cheers

I have the same bike with Ultegra R8000. I swapped the wheels for Hed Ardennes. They give it a more compliant ride. The total bike weighs under 27 lb.s. You scored a great bike. They corner like they're on rails and climb very efficiently. I swapped out the cassette for an 11-32. Enjoy your new steed.

Izin k?

Just picked up a CAAD 12 105. Slowly going to upgrade to Dura Ace. Found the 9100 Brakes on sale today, so that's a start.

Hy Chris. Great video. A question here. What's better for 700x35c tire size and use 95% on asphalt pavement: A Vittoria Terreno Zero or A Zaffiro Pro (both Graphene 2 version)?

A fantastic ride... 👌

I came for your review of the pro discover handlebars and was happy to learn in this review you also ride a Bokeh. Would you say the Pro Discover handlebars could be a good fit for the Bokeh? Mine came with the Deda Gravel 100 stock bars which seem to have a too long reach for me in my current setup (XL frame, 90mm stem).

nice wheels, looking at somthing similar for myself with a dyanamo hub for my bokeh. And the best bit - quite freehub :)

Was looking for a good test of those tyres as my current schwalbe g one speeds need replacing and they seem to have doubled in price! These seem good value. Good video, I live in Snowdonia so I like something fast but big. Tends to not really get muddy just slate/gravel.

Hey Chris, thanks for the review. I'm looking at these tyres as a cross-over between road cycling and some light gravel as my road bike has bigger clearance. How do these tyres grip on wet tarmac? This is one of my main issues as it rains a lot and would be great to have some traction in the rain, especially the corners. :)

do you have or had problems with bb30 ? what's your height and size of the bike, are you content with that ?

*The zips are reversed on either side so, regardless of which way you mount it, your drive-side zip opens towards the rear. 👍

Got one of these bikes. But they are Longitudes. Not longtitudes. No tit in the name.

365 subs now. Great channel. I have the bikepacking bug now. Do you upload your tracks anywhere. Keep the videos coming.

Did you mention what tyres you was using

Hey Chris. That bag looks very good. The straps look pretty beefy. But I agree entirely with you about those two attachment slits -- they look like they might wear a bit if I use the bag to carry a lot of stuff. Waterproof is important. But so is durability. What do you reckon? Has it held up? Cheers

Nice….I’m running the Parcours Ronde on a Mason Aspect and the pairing has been just fantastic …for the price point you can’t beat these wheels.

Try the Specialized Pathfinder Pros.

I look forward to finding a TH-cam channel that actually shows the bicycle and not just a talking head. Thank you.

I agree on slow cornering: Mine, too, struggles with very steep turns. Otherwise, it's very fast on tarmac (I'm no fan off off-road / gravel rides, although I very much appreciate the WarBird's ability to can cope with almost any terrain, coupled with its relatively high max. system load stat). It is My favourite bike of 15 or thereabouts I've had over the years, incl. the 5 I have today (if by a hair, compared to the Genesis Datum and the Norco Search XR C). I also find the WarBird particularly beautiful, up there with the much more exclusive and expensive Bastion road bikes (and the Bokeh - particularly ugly).

I’ve only just found your videos - interesting and lovely scenery! Glad you like your longitude. I built one up from a frame with 29 x2.4s on. Can recommend as they roll through rough stuff really well and it climbs well also - have conti mountain king/X king tubeless. Also had the same dilemma re frame bag and in the end sent a template in to Alpkit designed to fit the longitude and also my Genesis Vagabond. The bag is excellent quality and quite reasonable considering it’s custom built!

Was up, can you provide links to the gear and upgrades you made?

Useful information. One thing. Wearing shades whist talking to folk makes you come across as less trustworthy. It's a psychological thing to do with being able to see people's eyes.

great video and a nice looking route starting on my doorstep! any chance of a gpx link?

OMG ITS THAT BADGER!! TOP MAN, GREAT ADVENTURE!

Not "k" but kilometers

Very good video mate , do some more .

Nice short review. I have just ordered the frame. Will build it up with GRX DI2 2x exactly because of the reasons you mentioned.

Hi Any updates?

Can you tell me what width your sitbones are? Mine are 11.5cm and don't know whether to opt for s/m or m/l. I should go with s/m according to ergon, but for some reason I am more inclined to m/l. What do you think?

Hey! How do you like these tires after long-term use? are they durable?

Hutchinson Tourag I've found to be good . Gravel king only really grip on funnily enough gravel. I also use GK slicks which on the right day in the summer are good

awesome review.I'm a roadie and want to get a gravel bike for bikepacking..This bike fits the bill nicely. I've shortlisted the diverge and the aspero the latter being far out of my budget.
