Glad they solved the seat post slipping issue. We got our hands on these during the pandemic and I kid you not, the amount of seat posts slipping were like Canyon Aeroad level high 😂 it was up there with Factor Ostro and Seka Exceed RDC. All God Tiers of seat post slipping
I got my A9x last year after taking a shot in the dark on the even cheaper strattos model. Loved both! Haven’t had to use the extra seat clamp no slip issues here but I think it did come with paste back then
Saw you racing it in Newport News. Dope bike.
bought the A8X because of you and absolutely loved it. Same feedback on the wheelset, I changed them for my other Hunt Wheels
Pretty amazing price when considering Di2 Dura Ace (12spd) comes in at about 3k on its own. (I paid about that for my frame!) The frame holds up and it seems they got the BB trued enough for you to pull out some serious power wins so I'm a little jealous!
You’ll definitely have to get into how you wiped out doing sprint work EJ… definitely… 😬🤦🏽♂️
Thanks for your advice on sizing and few videos back. Just picked up the A8X!
Id ride it just for that paint job, WOW!!
Almost bummed seeing this come out. Back in January, I bought a TCR, but I was very very close to picking up one of these. Only reason I didn’t is because the lbs hadn’t seen the brand before, and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t the first one coming into the shop
It’s a sick ride! Feel free to message me if you have any further questions about the bike!
EJ I Think You Should Do a Vintage Steel Frame & Modern Carbon Parts Build.
My 1987 Peugeot Perthus Pro Reynolds 753 Road Bike No Carbon What so Ever Weighs 8.3KG with Vintage Look Metal Pedals and Metal Downtube Shifters.
I Think if I went Carbon Crazy Wheels, Carbon Handle Bars, Carbon Rim Brakes, Carbon Crank, Carbon Saddle, Carbon Seat post and carbon Down Tube shifters id Get the Bike Close to 7KG.
I Think you need a Vintage Road Bike With Full Carbon Parts as a race bike to compare against the modern bike you have now EJ, Would Be A Great Watch To See you Race On a Vintage Steel Bike Tricked out With Full Carbon. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🤙🤙
EJ, you, Tylers (plural), team POA, Jordan, etc etc should team up to race the 5-day stage race - “indieVelo Grand Tour”
They are looking for some sponsors too, maybe you could make something happen for you and your sponsors?!
Hello EJ, did you end up also changing the seat clamp when you upgraded your saddle? If so, what type of seat clamp did you end up switching to? Thanks,
They send one out with the bikes now 👍
What power meter are you running?
Sick !!
🫡🫡🫡
whats the tyre clearance ?
No shipping to Puerto Rico, welp that sucks
Nice bike! But I think it should come with 105...
Any one know the frame weight?
the paint job is just 🤌🏼🔥
I love it!
That's heavy for a barely aero bike with dura ace.
A few mods and mine in a M weighs 7.35kg with pedals, cages and mount
so it has an integrated seat post wedge clamp and collar clamp on top?
Yes. Collar is optional but I'm using it on mine now after the occasional slipping and now it's bullet proof
@@rocco5466 it's funny to me because I got the idea from some of the pros who run the custom plate holders that clamp around the seat post. Just lower that to the top tube and you got a clamp that works. Turns out theyre already doing it.
I noticed the frame says XL. How tall are you and do you think you picked the right frame size? Thanks!
He is as tall as he is! Like 5'4"
@@HarryTzianakisTheGodOfSpeedWhat 🤣. EJ isn't 5' 4"
@@_Tp___ lmfaooo00 the bike it's an extra large in the small size. 😂🤣😆🤌
The bike is an extra large in the small size lmfaooo00 😂🤣😆🤌
How heavy should a racing wheelset be at max?
Depends on the race profile. But sub 1500g is ideal
2:30 Is that blood on your wheel 😅
😳
@@Ejstrainingcamp Caught you, mob boss EJ. He'll run through anything for a KOM.
She Purdy 🤤
"really really" count: 5
😂😂😂
At that price, it is a STEAL
At first sight, yes, but if you have to buy upgrades, then it's not a steal.
shill
I guess for free its nice. If I'm going to own one bike I would rather it be a bike from my own country supporting my own country. But that's just me.
I'm a nationalist ✊😐 you will all follow in my footsteps just like You all did with modern cycling training. As I am the inventor of it.
Please let this be a really drawn out comedy act
@@_Tp___ wish it was 🫤. 😂🤣😆
Get a load of this guy
@@logictd567 stop talking about TP like that ! 😐
There's this one guy that has been doing structured training using intervals for close to 30 years in cycling . That would make that person the first . You know who that is?
