Thanks for sharing another beautiful ride on that absolutely gorgeous Cervélo, she sure has taken great care of you and you two have shared some beautiful adventures together. Really enjoying your videos, each one just keeps getting better. Also great music choices as you descend !! As always thanks for sharing !!
working my way through your stuff, as new to the channel, loving it and inspired to take on some ultra events as a break from IM racing, thanks and look forward to what's to come!
Nice ride and a beautiful bike. It's amazing when you find the right bike how it seems to take care of you. Ride a Trek 520. Not flashy and does what I want. Have full confidence in that bike. Makes riding so much better. Thanks for the video and take care, Al
Another excellent music choice, wonderfully evocative. Always enjoy your bike (and bike packing) run downs. Gonna be useful if I can ever get out for an adventure 🙂
Beautiful bike, beautiful ride. Would love to get an Aspero (Rival or Force XPLR) for allroad and fast gravel rides soon. Not easy to find in Germany atm. Or to say it Aspero-esk: „It‘s been sold out fast.“
It’s not actually one of the sizes for sale as it was a prototype when sizes were being tested and refined. I’d say it’s probably closest to the 3 litre
@@ChrisHallRides Okay, great. I ordered the Aspero-5 myself as well and wanted to buy one of the half frame bags of tailfin that was just released. Would the 3.8L fit well you think? Thanks in advance!
Chris, trying to find some clip on TT bars with a clamp to fit on aero bars. I’m pretty sure you had some on your Badlands set up. Any recommendations please, cos I can only find standard handle bar clamps. Ta
Is it the same sort of bars that I have on my Áspero 5? The bars are designed to be able to clamp on to them close to the stem where it’s still round. I don’t know of any options that work with a full aero bar though really unfortunately sorry. I had some from Aerocoach for the setup for badlands. You can watch that video here and it’ll show you better to what I’m trying to say i think? Not sure that all made sense haha th-cam.com/video/2kkvvupx8Pw/w-d-xo.html
@@ChrisHallRides thanks Chris, I have the full aero shape without the round bit, but I’ll contact the guys at aerocoach and see if they have any solutions. Enjoy your trip Cheers
Hi Chris! I’m trying to ride more endurance rides over 100 miles and I’d like to get a proper bike for that (current bike Dogma F10, perfect but not for long endurance days). I tested Caledonia and was impressed with geometry and how well it rolls. But the bike shop is recommended Aspero as it might be a better bike for those long endurance days and if I ever decide to go gravel, no problem there. Is Aspero as fast as Caledonia? I can’t wait to try Aspero. Thanks in advance.
Hello, If you're looking for an endurance focused bike then the Caledonia is the one to go for. It's a more relaxed geometry than the Aspero. You can also fit some gravel tyres on the Caledonia as it has clearance for measured 35mm tyres.
I was looking into putting on an MTB derailleur with my GRX Di2 1x, I also heard that you can use an 11-46 cassette. You mentioned that you haven't been able to figure it out, did a 46-tooth cassette not work for you?
Amazing looking bike, I only have a gravel bike and been riding 40mm tires all year (mostly due to the roads around here being SO bad!). It is equipped with 105 so I wonder how much of a difference a 2x make considering the efforts and climb yesterday? Would you consider riding a 2 two internal gear rear hub? I also ride with lights pretty much all year round.
I’d love to try the classified rear hub system at some point. I’ve also had this bike set up 2x previously too. It really does depend on the gradients but I never found any issues with it while I’ve been here
I always carry a pump, but I put mine in the frame bag, always better to have a decent pump over Co2. I have the Silca Tattico, works well on any bike even mtb with bigger tyres.
I know this is an older video but I had to comment: I'm about to order an Aspero-5 frameset and have a local bike shop swap over all the GRX components from my current gravel bike to the Aspero-5 - except, I'm going with Ultegra crankset instead (50/34). Still undecided though on the color - i love both the lime/chameleon color, as well as that purple sunset. Only thing I'm wondering about is if the stem that comes with a size 54cm frame is the right size for me (currently I run 90mm). How was the fitment for you when you put this bike together (meaning, did you need to make many adjustments?) What size frame is that? Also, my goodness those roads (and music) are both so dreamy.
I ride a 54 with a 120 stem so had to change the stem straight away. Worth checking with a bike fitter or using something like the geometry geeks website to compare
Travelling with your bike. I am always worried that the flights will damage / lose the bike and i am left stranded so tend to hire if i am flying or if i can i drive to my location which is time consuming. How do you get the confidence to trust the flight operators not to wreck your plans / holiday?
As a NZ buyer also .. the apex version (not aspero 5 to be fair, but as someone racing cyclocross being able to clean my headset bearings is far more valuable to me) is like 4700.. have loved it! Can upgrade as you go, personally have a new seatpost, swapped some other wheels I already had onto it, tires, bottom bracket, found a secondhand power meter to match the gxp crank. All over a couple years. But the core ride experience has always been excellent from day 1.
Great video! Thanks! I purchased the same bike a month ago and am loving it. Went with the 2X to compliment my 1X Orbea Terra. Anyway, what Garmin mount are you using? I have the 1040 solar and am struggling to find something that is out in front of the bars like yours but long enough to fit the solar version. Again, great video! Keep them coming and ride safe!
Thanks so much for the kind words. The mount is the same one that comes with the Áspero 5 stem. It slots into the front of the stem face plate. You should have got it with the bike when you purchased yours
Thanks for the quick reply. Well, that's a bummer! I'll have to go check with the shop. I didn't get one and have been all over the internet. So, hopefully good news! Thanks again.
@@jasonbeardall5758 no problem. It’s definitely an Áspero 5 and not an Áspero? Because it doesn’t come with an Áspero. Otherwise look at frames and gear framesandgear.com
Yeah, all cabling tucked away and the Aspero doesn't have the gold detailing on the inside of the fork. Not sure how it got missed, but I'm guessing they have it somewhere. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the link!
@@jasonbeardall5758 good good just double checking as that’s caught a few people out previously. Yeah I’m sure it’s in the bike shop still. Just drop them a message but yeah worse case frames and gear make a great option too. It’s called the R5 stem mount on their website but they use the same stem
This bike was really easy to assemble th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
Cervélo don’t currently make a steel bike. They did however make the last steel bike to race Paris Roubaix which I show in the video when I visited the office. I like steel bikes as well though. Different bikes always ride and feel different especially when it comes to the material they are made from
@@ChrisHallRides thanks for the reminder about your tour of the Cervelo offices. And indeed, I understand how/why the different materials affect ride quality & performance; that's why I was asking. I'm leaning towards a non-carbon frame for my next bike purchase for myriad reasons (value, durability, longevity, etc.).
Great footage and amazing bike!! 🤩🤩🤩 Just one question, or two rather: Do you still have the Caledonia 5? If so, wouldn’t that bike with some 35mm slicks have served you just as well/better for your purposes here?
Yeah definitely. But it’s filthy from riding around the UK winter with mudguards on and I couldn’t be asked to clean it and more importantly I wanted to ride this one. Riding what you want to is more important
Great bike set up mate, on my crux got GRX di2 shifters XTR same as yourself But that rear D can be used 2x But also I’m running 46 abblack oval front with 10-46 Garbaruk cassette On the gravel set No problems On the road set 10-42 sram xx1 cassette 🤙👍. Keep at it mate
Am I right in thinking it can only be used 2x if you use an xtr or XT front mech though? I have a 46t xtr casette at home, I’ll have to give it another try
@@ChrisHallRides The rear shouldn’t have an issue to use that 46, and then check with a few known mechanics, you could probably use an GRX front mech also
@@markanderson7412 I’ve tried it with a GRX front and it wasn’t happy if I remember right. Came up with an error on the e tube software. I’m enjoying the 1x setup though and I’m going to put a 40t on the cranks and 46 on the rear just to have a slightly easier gear on the super steep stuff in the peaks
@@ChrisHallRides Okay maybe an Ultegra 8070 front mech? But yep with you I’ve only got the one bike 2 wheelsets So it’s 1x for me also 👍 You looking at Gravel locos may20th and unbound June 3rd
My mate did it when I was 18. It has some Japanese elements but a lot more personal reasons to it. I accidentally left the Varia on my other bike at home 😅
I love Cervélo. I have a R3 and have been looking at the Aspero but the sizing is odd. I am happy with my 58cm R3 but the 58 Aspero is too big for me and the 56 is too short in terms of reach. But ok in terms of stack height. I wish they had a 57. So I have to pass on this bike for me.
Strange that it doesn’t work for you. Gravel bikes intentionally have different geometry to road bikes. You should probably be riding a shorter stem on a gravel bike as opposed to a road bike for example. Best thing to do would be to talk to a bike fitter and then they can work out if it would work for you and what size to look at
@@ChrisHallRides This is the third time I try commenting on your comments. Seems TH-cam doesn't like something I put in. Can't figure out what as it was only positive. Just wanted to say your badlands video inspired me and I hope to do it in 2023 or 2024 and I missed the cut off to sign up for the Atlas Mountain Race in Feb 2023. Would have been fun to meet you then.
Pump on the frame, I've had similar comments, hate it in my jersey pocket. Plus held on the frame it means you can actually take a proper pump up with you; and by proper of course I mean something with some guts not a piss poor mini pump. The Garmin lanyard, I saw you ride with that in the past and never realised question it, after watching this video it's obvious. It's for security, you wrapped it around the handlebars, I will do the same - I've never had anyone steal a head unit, but anything discourage that is surely a big plus.
This is a mini pump but it’s really good. It’s an old fabric one I’ve had for years and it’s always been great for everything I’ve needed. Yeah the lanyard is just an extra bit of security
@@ChrisHallRides ahahha and I keep saying to myself that I don’t need a new bike, also because my bmc urs one is not bad at all, but then I cross an Aspero on the street and there it goes again..
