@@ChinaCycling and I was referring to TSG Terengganu Cycling Team which is also a UCI Conti Team registered in Malaysia. I wasn’t aware of Nusantara Cycling Team. Good to know 👍
@@ChinaCycling hi Joe, Nusantara is here for Tour Gateh D’Tranung. They identify as Nusantara Devo Team. It’s going to be fun watching these young lads battle it out! Cheers
12:36 I definitely agree with the notion of frameset options...While the industry seems to be offering less in the way of framesets, we need more (and with UDH please)!
@@BrianMcDonald haha the brand "Speeder Cycling" is releasing a road frame soon with UDH. Specs and design are oddly similar to the latest Tavelo Arow frame.
Love the reviews!!! But those upgrades are way more than $2K... more like $3K. The wheels $1540 and crank $375, bars $300, tires and tubes $100, saddle $250, ceramic jockey $350 and BB $180. That aside, I love the reviews and based on your recommendation I plan on getting that Tavelo bar for my scott foil RC30.
Thanks for watching! A few of things for consideration: 1. With my discount codes (#influencer) you'll save $200 off the wheels, OSPW, and BB combined. 2. I mentioned in the video that a power meter does NOT come with the complete bike. So you would have to invest in one regardless other upgrades. 2. You should easily be able to resell the Vision Metron cockpit and included Entity 50 wheels.
I pretty much did the same as you did with my A9x as I mentioned in your first look video. The saddle it comes with is just not good for a race bike(I still use it on my commuter bike because it's still a comfortable saddle )I swapped the vision metro handlebar because 42mm is too wide. I changed the Dura Ace C60 for a Princeton Carbon works Peak4550, and the bike felt great both on flat and in the mountains. compare to my other superbikes, what this bike lacks is just brand recognition----- whenever I'm on this bike other rider would assuse I'm riding an open mold bike. with the Magine power meter I have a completely different experience (same model as you have ): the power number is always too high, and the left-right balance is opposite to my other powermeters. I don't know if it's a common issue or it's just me
Magene offers a lot of value. However their electronic products (PMs, bike computers, etc) are still just a step behind the big brands in terms of reliability.
Nice video bro as always. Kindly let me know your version of the bike computer? I am using bsc200 and want to upgrade and notice that you are also using igpsport :)
@ really really good so far!! It’s an upgrade from my polygon strattos s7. This is my first aero bike but I loge it so far. What I like about it is the price and what you get for it. Wanted to get the a9 but it was only the groupset and the wheels are different and ai didn’t feel like it was worth it at least now. I’ll spend more time with how it is now but what I might change soon is the saddle and might get some powermeters.
Love the reviews! At the end you mention that the steering/handling felt predictable and controlled. How much of that is the frame/form geometry and how much is the 140mm stem? Wouldn't almost any bike feel controlled with that long of a stem?
Thanks for watching! Seat tube angle, head tube angle, rider weight distribution, and stem length all play a role in the overall bike handling. Among other variables too. But no single aspect lives in a vacuum.
@@PatrickLino Makes sense! And in this case it's not your only bike with that kind of stem length so its a much more even comparison to the other bikes you ride
Do you need to get custom spacers for the cockpit to fit your bike? How do check if a cockpit is compatible with a bike or not (Are they usually interchangeable?)?
The integrated cockpit is from Panda Podium. If you order through them it comes with compatible spacers which you can specify on their website. The handlebars work with any 1 1/8" steerer tube.
I installed the same crankset with magene chain rings. Did you have to raise the front derailer at all? Whenever i pedal backwards my chain derails. Did you have to index the chain at all?
You are my BBC..best bike critique!!!love the upgrades, time to fly!!!
click click!
Might be your other BBC too!
13:16 Polygon is made and assembled in Indonesia. Their plant is crazy big.
The team that races these bikes are Malaysian.
I was WAITING for you to comment here my friend. Part of this video was inspired by you.
NUSANTARA CYCLING TEAM... UCI conti team registered in Indonesia, racing this bike... Patty wasn't wrong, no need to try to correct him,

Can't beat that Polygon for value. Nice upgrades!
Agreed!

A couple of affordable Chinese brands have released UDH gravel framesets 👀
@@PatrickLino I need more in the road/all road field! 😂

Tasteful upgrades damn!!
Thanks Gabe! The bike flies now.
Great content Patty. Wheels, tires and tubes are the major upgrade (or downgrade) to a bike. See Cam Nicholls recent video with his BMCs.
Thanks for watching!
Love it big boy
Come snap me in half!

Does the magene crankset work with 12spd shimano groupset?
I am using the magene crankset with 12spd Shimano groupset.
I installed the same crankset with magene chain rings. Did you have to raise the front derailer at all? Whenever i pedal backwards my chain derails. Did you have to index the chain at all?
What is your dimensions what frame size do you usually ride i find 140 stem to extreme
I exclusive ride size 56 frames. I have long arms and quite flexible.
