Keep the name Ben its content that counts and its always excellent the channel is in motion now . Cesars Pinerello looked very nice too was that the X 1 105 spec?. The PAS advertising was terrible fair play but its going to get the coverage i imagine.
The PAS advert doesn't do it for me but I've never been sold by cycling gear advertising, it's more about the gear and the price for me. PAS along with Rapha are probably viewed as the pretty boy brands of cycling so might be an attempt to show a more edgier, reactionary side to the brand. With regard to the name, I agree with Cesar's comments, I believe it's more about the content. That's what did and still does draw me in. Anyway where would you go from The Rookie Cyclist, The Intermediate Cyclist?! Doesn't have the same ring 😂 Your intros heading down Lower Marsh Lane always make me smile 😊
Big NO to the campaign. Had a guy on our group rides that did it repeatedly and got banned from the rides...picked up the nickname "Snot Rocket Jim", Keep the name...we're all rookies. There's always something new to learn.
Thanks Bill!! Yeah that kind of stuff should be done out of sight or when you’re solo plus I’m not certain I want to see it full stop let alone in an advertising campaign hahaha
The ad is not up my street and would put me off the brand , think the Rookie still works but Not so Rookie would be good . Managed a small ride in Richmond Park Friday was a bit chilly but my wife got a little ride in on her new bike
Two points: 1) yeah, that pic is a bit much for any ad. Sort of like doing an ad showing riders relieving themselves at the side of the road; and, 2) people aren't sticking with your channel because of the name. They're hear for the quality of the videos (meaning content and videos) and to follow you. I don't think it would make any difference what you called it, people will subscribe because of you.
That’s very true, I guess ultimately as you say it doesn’t really matter as long as people enjoy the content right?!I agree on the ad, they certainly like to dabble in the controversy from time to time do Pas, although I do like their gear! Thanks for the comments 🙏👍
I think you should stick with the channel name. Definitely catchy, and now and even when you progress more it can be a more jokey name whilst still keeping the identity. Just my 2 cents
Nice bit of Broomfield and Dark Hill demolition with Cesar. He seems like a top bloke, and looks like he's really enjoying his cycling. I love cycling in the Autumn, it's still enjoyable albeit a bit cooler, but without the sometimes hectic urgency at the height of summer. Enough waffle and onto your points. 1) If I like a brand I will still use it despite the advertising. That said, a picture of some bloke purging his nasal passages would probably put some people off. I personally think it's naff, but what do I know? 2) If you want to change your name people will still follow you, myself included. You're fast approaching 100 vids too! Your choice ultimately...
Change the name if youre planning to pick a fruit based name...and then when we cycle together we can call ourselves "fruit bowls or fruit salad cc" 😂😂🫣🫣😉
Love your channel and the name, personally I wouldn't change it.

It’s very clever because people are talking about it , even me personally I think it’s a horrible habit… that and spitting .
