Shokz are great! You can hear road sounds while you're listening to tunes. Small enough to tuck away or even keep wearing them when you're riding with other people. My favourite tunes when I'm riding by myself? Electroswing and Brazilian Batacuda keep me going on the uphills.
Hi David. Are you sure it’s the Trenta carbon version? Looks rather like the standard one. My 3K carbon Trenta weighs only 224g. And my glasses fit well.
I love the two compartment aspect of the Topeak bag, but I agree that the ratchet isn't as useful as a multi-tool plus a Wolftooth pack pliers with quicklink storage.
Yes Met Trenta helmet is great but i can put glasses in and you can normally get it in dales for around £150 if you time it well! Yet again my 2nd helmet and have a Manta too 😂
Just a quick one on the trenta I’ve had the 3k for about a year now and there is a specific little rubber either side of the helmet where your Oakleys slot in put them in upside down it works a treat…have a look 😉
Ratchets and bits are dumb to bring on a ride. In 50 years of riding I may have used a 4mm Allen for a slipping seatpost once or twice. Maintain your bike properly before you ride.
I buy lights that last but expose are great but expensive and can last 10yrs ! I have also Sense ICON2 which is just as good intelligent links to garmin, 350lux and 15,hrs run time. Had it 5yrs still going strong!
Hi David, I just bought a Garmin Venu Sq cheap of eBay and use the broadcast HR to my Garmin 1040. Works perectly and is as accurate as my Garmin chest strap HR monitor, Plus I get a fitness tracker/watch with the Garmin Venu Sq for not more than the Corus arm band monitor.
Surprised you couldn't get your Oakleys secured. The Trenta holds on to them better than any other helmet I own. Size Large helmet, if that makes a difference.
when u mentioned that u have had issue with chest strap hr monitors I used to use a wahoo one but had numerous issues with it and bought a garmin one love it
About the Topeak saddle bag - can’t you just swop out the multitool if it fit in bottom compartment. I believe the one i comes with is attached with velcro?
I've just done away with my pumps (and yeah I used Topeak Pumps for years) (except for maybe a bikepacking trip), I've now gone Electric Pump and CO2 as a backup.
Pet hate of mine is pumps that can accommodate both presta and the other one. I'm sure presta only would have more resilience against wear and consist of fewer parts which is inherently better...probably.
Love my Met Trenta great helmet crashed in my previous one and felt the mips move and not jolt my head which made me buy a new one after, also a fan of the Kask Protone Icon 😊 I use the Coospo HW9 arm band works really well.. and Silca Tatico as it has a lever type valve fitment much better I’ve found than screw on, Cannondale also do a version very good 🚴🏻👍
MIPS is marvelous. I'm a physician who's involved in brain injury rehab. Every little bit of reduced force transmitted to the brain improves outcome substantially. I know, as I had a crash with a MIPS helmet myself.
But Wahoo have a fabulous heart sensor for the arm! Been using mine two years. Agree much preferable to a long chest option. Can wash short strap far easier too. *Edit: same Wahoo monitor that comes with two length straps for chest or arm!
1. Does, or does not the tool kit include a (or an option to have a) torque attachment to the ratchet? That was my understanding from a piece olly did on gcn. In which case the rationale for a ratchet tool carries an entirely different value. 2. I have this pump, it’s hot trash in my view. Incredibly inefficient, one can pump from here until a fortnight past next Tuesday, achieving very mediocre psi levels. Hence, I’ve been a [so far] very satisfied user of co2. The new rechargeable electronic units are probably the way to go.
OpenRun Pro 2.0 are much worse than its predecessor. They are not loud enough even in an office enviroment. Don't buy and get the predecessor at a much lower price.
Give me a Daysaver with chain tool over that ratchet any day. So much smaller. Easy to use too. You should have a look at that David. Have you had a bit of an off? Hope you are okay.
So annoying when that happens. What you want to do is make sure the valve core is tight first, using a plastic valve core tool (the proper way) or a pair of pliers (If you're very gentle and careful to not overtightnen). That'll ensure it doesn't unscrew when you unwind the pump head
I don't understand why one would get a saddle bag too small to fit a minipump... It's uncomfortable and more important DANGEROUS to put it in your back pocket should you fall
never buy western helmet if you diehard asian 😂 the western people they have different skull and they made helmet fit their head. it will not fit your asian skull 😂
Always sorry to see headphones for cycling promoted. Any distraction is dangerous and what is wrong with the sounds of the world around you? Love your videos otherwise.

I heard the pro 2s are more of air conduction instead of bone which could make it hard to hear in noisy environment. Is this true?
Agreed! I love mine on a ride.
They're the only buds that have survived all the rain and sweat!
Cheers
Looking a bit bruised Dave, hope you're alright ? Hoping that's not an 'off-the-bike' incident ......
I’ve noticed that too, hope you’re alright Dave
Just a bit of black Friday "elbows out" shopping 😅
MET Rivale helmet is just as good as the MET Trenta at half the cost and the exact weight. Amazing ventilation!
Second that, it is awesome. Feels so comfortable I forget I’m wearing anything.
I gave up long ago on chest strap heart rate recording
Just get a Garmin watch and broadcast your heart rate
Works perfectly
That’s what I do too. Couldn’t be happier
Yep me too got an epix gen 2 from h Samuals for 300 quid when they were on offer 👌🏻
Hi David. Are you sure it’s the Trenta carbon version? Looks rather like the standard one. My 3K carbon Trenta weighs only 224g. And my glasses fit well.
Different marketplace=different weight. European helmet version are lighter than USA and other. (Less restrictions = lighter helmet)
10:49 when wearing Pogi helmet is it contractually obligated to have a lock of hair out? :D

Scosche has a HR monitor for the upper forearm that is accurate and about half the price in the US.
Ratchets and bits are dumb to bring on a ride. In 50 years of riding I may have used a 4mm Allen for a slipping seatpost once or twice. Maintain your bike properly before you ride.
I find ratchets a liability on a ride. Loose bits get lost easily.
I'm happy with a quality compact multitool.
I buy lights that last but expose are great but expensive and can last 10yrs ! I have also Sense ICON2 which is just as good intelligent links to garmin, 350lux and 15,hrs run time. Had it 5yrs still going strong!
Were you on the Tyson undercard David? Or was this a particularly fraught video to produce? Good tips and get some arnica.

Thanks for the video! What are your impressions, Is the Met Trenta better helmet than the Kask Potone Icon???
About the Topeak saddle bag - can’t you just swop out the multitool if it fit in bottom compartment. I believe the one i comes with is attached with velcro?
Try Polar Verity Sense 40+hrs built in memory and just under £70. Its second one I have had its great!
I've just done away with my pumps (and yeah I used Topeak Pumps for years) (except for maybe a bikepacking trip), I've now gone Electric Pump and CO2 as a backup.
I need to try an electric pump
Time to check out a battery-powered pump, man. Gamechanger compared to mini hand pumps or CO2s.
Tiny E-Pump For Bike AS2 Pro is amazing
Pet hate of mine is pumps that can accommodate both presta and the other one. I'm sure presta only would have more resilience against wear and consist of fewer parts which is inherently better...probably.
For long steady rides, the arm band is good enough. For quick bursts, like indoor cycling, it's quite misleading.
Weird. My glasses (Sungod, 100%, and Bolle) fit well and very secured on my Trenta 3k Carbon.
I’ve just mentioned that me too my sutro pop straight in 👌🏻

@@johnhickie1107yep I can certainly vouch for it working
Been in a bar brawl again? Hope you're good.

Seriously, David, you have appeared on half a dozen vids looking like you gell through a house. 'Fess up

Try the coospo hrm

Yeah quite frustrating the new “better” ones are actually poorer sound quality than the last ones
Did you hurt yourself man? Hope you are feeling ok.

Have you had a bit of an off? Hope you are okay.
I have had bad luck with pumps that screw on at the valve. They pumped up the tire OK. But when unscrewing it, the valve core also unscrewed.

How’s those Chinese wheels you’ve been testing 🤕
Still going fine so far
I prefer de original lezyne pump
You ok David? nice lil mark on your head....
Thing with saddle bags... you literally buy one, and it's good for years. Who changes them regularly?

Bought the older shockz due to recommendation of youtubers. They were by far my biggest fail purchase ever. Totally shit in all regards.
