Your welcome! I appreciate the positivity

No, I've slowly changed my position over the years to a point where I'm comfortable now

Yes this was another option, but they don't come in a 24mm axle which I prefer since all my bikes use this standard, and they're a bit pricier

Hahaha very true and easy to forget. Most people say western I guess they mean companies that have focused traditionally on western targeted marketing.

I've ridden it outside and done a couple sprints on it. Only 1100w peak power since I'm not a really big rider.

Interesting, did this happen to you. I wasn't worried about the bolt failing I was more worried about the spindle or chainrings failing at first.

@@oliverdowd1978 that is fatal if it happen in ride.

Yes but are these cranks any more unsafe than Shimano cranks which have had issues debonding in the past? Hard to say?

@@oliverdowd1978 i can say yes this thing unsafe if the pro use it. the metal material they use for the as rot are not as good as used in shimano or sram. lexon riro goldix and other ali brand crank set use the same metal alloy as rod. this 24mm alloy is often break into two piece if the rider put to much force. some not break into two piece but the joint between the crank arm and the as rod are loosen or snap. this is rare occasion and i believe it due lack of inspection and metal quality.

@@endtimeslips4660 Did you buy this crank and it failed on you? Or did you buy a different aliexpress crank and it failed on you, if so which crank was it? This 24mm spindle is made from titanium, not aluminum. The 29mm spindle is made from aluminum, as is Sram Red per my understanding, but I'm not sure which grade of aluminum Sram uses and what grade of aluminum Lexon uses.

Yeah but I guess the folks wanting a power meter would be happy with this move.

Doesn't really change anything on that front

I have one but it only goes up to 8nm

The new Scott has nothing on me!

Good guess! I'm on a 56 so not small but also not massive. I think this is also probably the lightest colorway too

You were close. I just uploaded the weigh in th-cam.com/video/h3k_C4Gj3Is/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YIlCN2y-4rtpn20l

That was when the science was talking about 2:1 glucose fructose ratio. Now things are moving to a 1:0.8 ratio

Good for roadies. Bad for recreationalists and beginners IMO.

@@oliverdowd1978 Not really. I ride that road quite frequently and often see recreationalists on it. As with all road cycling, riders keep to the right hand side and cars pass on the left lane. It works well. The road is not for beginners since they really don't like that hill. Beginners and most recreationalists ride the Seawall and then along Beach Ave. which has a full width segregated bike lane. But, what has really changed is the absence of the wrong way riders. That has made the road much safer. Stanley Park is much better without that stupid bike lane.

Sadly no more fredworks

Yeah I did do a calibration before each run but that's it.

I was using the mec spark 1

@@oliverdowd1978 Do you recon theres a decent place for a hammock? And are there too many bugs during late October? How often are park rangers up there at night? And lastly have you seen people have bonfires up there?

@@patrickbedruz6475 there would be a place to hammock a bit lower down from the summit. Not sure about the bugs in October but I'd imagine there's less. I think Ranger visits are very rare. Bonfire would be a no go.

@@oliverdowd1978 Thanks so much for the replies and all the info! Is bonfire a no go because theres a fireban still? Or is it a "no go" cause theres a sign just like a "no camping sign"?

Definitely!!

Only one way to find out!

Thanks Erik! I'm doing great!

In some cases yes, but in the case of the red cassette I won't use it enough to bring it to the end of its life so it makes sense buying used in that sense. Also some people upgrading to 11/12s that have stockpiled new 10s stuff and just want to get rid of it can give good deals.

Tell that to dura-ace cassettes, they're almost eternal.

@@ArthurD Interesting! I have had my DA cassette for around 6000 km. Keep convincing myself it is worn... but I'm unsure (no skipping of the chain). Anything more to add?

@@georgec2894 be careful when riding bicycle or you'll end like me, with a broken elbow. That's all I can add to this.

Glad you liked it!

There's a place for multi lane roads in the world, Stanley park is not that place

Weight wise yes, but I'm still not decided on if it's worth the rolling resistance penalty

@@oliverdowd1978 I definitely think it's worth it I've had them for about a year now I've got impaired up with gp5000 Continental Tyres absolutely love them you can pretty much have them forever because you can fix the tube but with only there puncture repair kit.

@@morganCycleStuff I was thinking of picking up just one to keep in my saddle bag since they are so much smaller and it would save a lot of room

What frame?

its gonna be from airwolf

Yeah I may do that next

I will probably get some nail polish and paint it over

Need to prevent wear on those expensive SRAM red components 🤣
