STOLEN: my Canyon Ultimate and Velobuild VB-R-068
I am heartbroken. Last night they broke into my shed, cut the chain and stole my two road bikes, my beautiful Canyon Ultimate and Velobuild VB-R-068. I am devastated, I put so much love in building and upgrading these bikes and they were so unique to me.
I really hope I could see them again one day...

Fail: Decathlon - Van Rysel road bike SPD-SL Shimano compatible cleats

Unfortunately I have to report that under my enormous power I unclipped a pedal and found out that the cleat itself was broken.

Thin vs Wide Tyres for Road Bikes | Myth vs modern tech? Is my setup suddenly slowing me down?
มุมมอง 23Kหลายเดือนก่อน
It seems that all of a sudden wide tyres like 30c or 32c are the preferred width for road bikes: not only for comfort and convenience, they now are also supposed to be faster. Is my set up with 23c and 25c slowing me down comparing to wider rims and tyres? I am trying to applying some logic, so for now I am disagreeing with the esteemed @gcn , @gcntech and @ChrisMillerCycling channels: I am pre...

    I am perfectly comfortable on 25c on my carbon and thinner on my old steel. I have no doubt wider is better, but i actually enjoy the feeling of speed i get from riding a skinny tire with high pressure.

    Something that's been eating at me is the whole debate on tire width. Personally, I'm fine with either 28c, 25c, or 23c; however, I do prefer my bike that fits a 28c for routes that have harsher roads (e.g., commuting such as to the office) and my other bikes that fit 23c for my training routes that have smoother roads (e.g., training). As for the loss because of vibration, I've heard that the wider tire is preferred, which makes sense, but (honest question due to my lack of knowledge) couldn't I just lower the pressure in a tire that is 23c or 25c and still somewhat achieve the same result for dampening the vibration from rough roads rather than resorting to a wider tire like 28c or wider?

    • @fede1275
      @fede1275 23 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Some say that lower pressures on skinny tyres could lead to more punctures, hence they prefer wider ones.

  • @peterwillson1355
    @peterwillson1355 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I never ride on the hoods because I use downtube shifters. The braking is also never as good when done from the hoods because you have less leverage. It's like having a door handle in the centre of the door. I wonder if that is the reason so many people believe rim brakes are not as powerful as discs?

    Hello Frederico. I have followed your channel for two years now, and enjoy very much the way you share your cycling passion; experiences, advice/opinions, humor, style, fitness, inclusion and joy. This theft of your fantastic race bicycles is just so sad. I feel really sorry on your behalf. Hope your insurance will assist on the economic side. If you conclude that the specific Canyon is worth trying to re-establish in a way, I can support by searching in my country (Norway). Our aftermarket has one salesportal and is reasonably transparent and safe. Bikes are often in good condition (short season :-)). But anyway, when you are out cycling; every time you look over your shoulder, imagine all of us cheering you on!

  • @charlesmansplaining
    @charlesmansplaining 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

    You do not have to succumb to the industry and buy a disc brake bike. You should search for a custom frame fabricator that will make you a frame that fits you specifically and is designed to offer you the ride characteristics you want. It doesn't cost any more than what the major brands are selling those fragile carbon frames for. The cost of frames coming out of China have risen to such a point they don't make sense. So sad to hear this happened to you. I can feel your heart is broken in your tone making this video. I keep my titanium bike in my house. I spent $11,000 dollars for the custom made frame and high end parts and nobody is going to get the opportunity to steal it.

    After seeing your post I have immediately moved my bikes from the garage into the house. Fortunately, we have enough room to do it comfortably. Will also take a look at insurance options. This has been happening ever since bicycles were invented, but what happened to your bikes, let it be again a reminder for all of us to do all we can to protect our bikes. An interesting question... Will you stick to rim brakes or are you considering a disc brake bike? Either way, I am looking forward to see your new bike of choice! 👋 Best,
