Buys gravel bike: won't be doing stupid crazy stuff.
Week later: Does stupid crazy stuff because it's a shit tonn of fun.
Just wait till you see the stupid crazy stuff I’ve done to the bike. Can’t wait to take it out on gravel hopefully next week!
Loving the colour Erik 🤩Looks great.
And nice to see the lad is a chip off the old block, cutting off the competition round corners 🤣
The lil man has almost taken me out a few times 😅
I opted for one bike to rule them all when I upgraded but I definitely see the benefit of having 2 bikes. Going to one bike allowed me to dedicated my old bike as a trainer bike that I can set it up to be more comfortable while riding inside and have a more aggressive fit that I prefer for outside. Virtual shifting in Zwift also was allowed me to steal the di2 from the old bike so that was a big plus.
If I didn’t have integrated bar and stem I would go with the Bontrager stem. The accessories really clean up the look of the front.
Ya I love the BLDNR accessories and ended up putting on a Bontrager Pro stem so I could put my older 3d printed bolt mount on. Super cleannnnn
Always good to have a couple bikes one for fast narrow tires then one for the wider tires. The wide tire bike can narrow tires if needed. Have three bikes from over the decade plus of local racing. Two get used regularly the old rim 2x10 CX on the trainer and the outdoor disc CX/ gravel bike. The third is an old rim brake singlespeed CX race only. Parts get moved around as needed too. Best way to save money and reuse older parts on the trainer bike.
Ya I think I'm pretty covered now. A fast rocket ship for the hammer rides and this guy for solo gravel adventures and a bunch of other do it all things!
Nice Gravel bike! I have a 2022 Checkpoint SL7 basically the same bike with Sram AXS. Only issue i've seen with it over the last few years is the seat post likes to drop just a little on rougher gravel/off road riding if tyou have a bigger hit. Make sure the seat post clamp is tight and use paste too. The bike will fit 50mm gravel tires front and back too, Trek says it only fits 45mm.
Oh I use the good stuff! Never had a problem with Motorex Carbon Paste! I already swapped to a carbon seat post cap as well LMAOOOOOOO
I hit that thumbs up just because of your singing...enjoy your new bike.
Sounds like we got yet another side gig? 😅
Little man's moving pretty well on the bike, might sign him up for Jr racing? 🙂
I'm still trying to persuade him to go two wheels!
@@DontGetDroppedCycling My dad was too cheap for training wheels, he bought me a bike and told me to figure it out. I think most people our age learned the same way, lol. 😆
@JeffreyThistle my son Kawai has autism so we’re on his timeline. As long as he’s having fun!
@@DontGetDroppedCycling Me too, I have asperger's syndrome. 🙂
I could see that the wifey did not understand....."they all look the same" LOL I had the same thing until the wifey also got hooked on cycling. Get her in the game and it's a life changer!
Maybe one day 🙃
You want a computer mount from Close The Gap called hide my bell. I absolutely love mine.
You sir are the best! Been looking for this!!!!!!!!! 🤙🏽
You ever tried a Redshift stem? A friend of mine says it’s very good for gravel riding.
I have not, maybe one day!
Yes, not cheap but possibly a game changer. Maybe will keep you on the rubber longer. Haha
I'm not sure about the bug, but... Definitely caught the gravel 😂
Diversity is good! A MTB rental might be in my future summer vacation plans too 😅
You're giving your boy so much rolling resistance....hood training I suppose!
My son has autism so let him enjoy his fat wheels 😅
@@DontGetDroppedCycling cycling with my kid was one of the most fun we had, but then she grew up so quickly 😪. Enjoy!
How much?
So cheap we have to censor it to protect the seller 😂
We hope this one sets up better than the last one for you.
No more crash and mud juju 🤪
@@DontGetDroppedCycling By all means do NOT be afraid to setup your gravel bike for more handling/comfort. I am a 3.4 C on Zwift, should be a B, but hell no. My road bike is set for down - out - go; 220 watts 100mm stem and 35sm bars on rides. Gravel is different. For the 4-5 hour races, I am setup to ride a steady 200 watts or less all day and handle the stupidity of other riders and terrain features.
We set it up for speed, looks, then comfort 😅😅😅
@@DontGetDroppedCycling Boy, you're a clown - love ya
