A part of the world that is beyond words Francis , video does it no justice . You have to be lucky enough to be there and even luckier to live there . You have been through hell and now you are in paradise , a small price to pay . Its like you drove your bikes into a post card ..
A super informative bike fit Tues. on a Tuesday. I've been wondering the exact questions about reach, bar width and wrist rotation. I'm going to have to pay attention more on how ofter I move off the hoods and why (usually when tired). I think I need to add a snarky tubeless comment for no reason whatsoever. You can do a bike fit that requires multivariate calculus with a broke-ass imperial unit ruler and a crayon, but can't do a tubeless conversion? :)
So good! As I commented to Lawrence, I can't wait to see how you like the Bay Area (especially the East Bay!) where I was born and raised. Hope it treats you three well :)
Quality content as always. Man there are some beautiful places on this planet, great job on sharing some. Thanks for switching me onto the Vegan Cyclists channel too. Been watching a few of his videos and I'm loving his work. His "Breathe" video is quality. Looking forward to the next instalment, be safe guys.
'Now Take your hands of the bars' ... VC headbutts the bars... brilliant. Gonna try that tomorrow ;) Again great content. plus you guys are a perfect team. excellent banter ;)
Woohoo -- Glacier Point is amaze-balls! And speaking of vegan cyclist, for a treat you should make a window seat reservation at Greens restaurant on Fort Mason pier in SF when you get there. The food is good and the view is astounding. For non-gas-station coffee, go to Four Barrel and for breakfasty food, Tartine Bakery for bowls of latte and such. It's proof that someone loves you.
Glacier Point is my favorite place on the planet! Hope my ashes are blown around there when my days are over. I am glad you guys are out of the desert! Have fun over next few days. Watch out sunken manhole covers in Oakland, especially if you guys go up into the hills. The closest I ever come to dying on a bike was hitting a sunken manhole off of Tunnel Road going 40 mph.
Great job Francis. Your videos with your cycling buddy's are very enjoyable. I have a question. Do you guy's have any form of rollers, massage tools etc?
Where can I get a bike fit from James? He was mentioning bar width and mentioning wrist pain & tall people I'm 6"7' with a Trek Emonda ALR 64CM and would love to get it right. London based too (y)
I bought a 54cm bike that came with a 120mm stem. Why do bike producers put such long stems on new bikes? Also, even though the bike shop offers a bike fit with purchase, they're unwilling to swap out any parts. Stem, Cranks etc... Or, cut down the steerer tube and seatpost.
Ian Woodcock I'm sure they would have sold me other parts and charged $12 an hour to install them. Cutting parts to fit or save weight would have cost the same in labor. And, it's $12 an hour. Or any part of an hour. That means if it takes only 5 mins. you pay for a full hour. My point is why can't they sell me a new bike that fits for the price of a new bike?
Agree with you, I always think that the frame is the foundation on which to build upon, the finishing kit should have a range of options at no cost, to enable a personal fit. :-)
bullwhip johnson 55 is a size that us produced at a greater volume.so they hopevtobgetbthe person that should be buying a 56cm. It's a common thing just now to put it all down to a stem length. A 110 stem should be what you're looking for everyday. The amount if times I've been in a.bike store and seen a sales person throwing up he swap the stem out story is mind blowing.overly long stems are fine for pro riders in.flat straight stages.
That flannel shirt will probably fit my friend but, he is 6 4" and 270 lbs...it sure looked pretty comical on you Francis ..you had a few days break from eatting at Denny's and that's good.
Sup FC...check it out... Teddys rolling almost every night Skating backward at the speed of light He's changed, in a thousand little ways he's changed -yes indeed You know He's moving on metal, Yes he's hanging on tight with the jack of speed. hanging tight...keep rolling bad ass...give a shout out to my homies LC,J and VC...
No pants? Try a bum j/o at the bottom of the Embarcadero BART Station escalator! Pork & Beans right there. He stopped when he saw me, but my buddy saw it, and he's a out of state Police Officer! He was in shock........I was like, "welcome to The City!"
James Thomas you sir, are a noble character like the Hound with your bike fit logic (new sub, catching up on all the bike fit Tuesdays, really making me consider a proper fit despite feeling alright on my bike like the Vegan Cyclist).
LOVE YOU DUDE! I miss you guys already!
My two favorite TH-cam bike vloggers
VC on Cade’s channel. Doesn’t get better than that.
Watching James do his thing is a pleasure. He just knows his shit.
When two of my favorite bike channels meet....AWESOME!
Wooo! Looks like Paradise, I wouldn't want to leave!
So cool to see you guy's ride and hang out with Tyler. 3 great vloggers all having fun on bikes, good video.
Good to see everybody in one video! Awesome bike fit!
Love Jame's explanations, must get a bike fit. Place looks gorgeous, enjoy your climb!!!
The longer your trip goes, the more I start to think about doing a trip on my own... So many amazing places along your way 😎

I was doing the exact same thing on the bars! Always reluctance to get on the hoods. I was told to get narrower bars too. Worked really well!
BikeFit Tuesday, VC and this epic trip all rolled into one episode- Wow! Great hookup with VC. You guys need to figure out how to collaborate more.
my favourite uk guys + my fav us guy, can't ask for anything more. loving the videos from the trip
2:14 felt like one of these "dog trys to go through door with too wide a stick"-videos
It was one of those videos
So good! As I commented to Lawrence, I can't wait to see how you like the Bay Area (especially the East Bay!) where I was born and raised. Hope it treats you three well :)
Tyler getting visibly confused when James explained something about bike fitting made my day
When you haven't listened to James a lot, and it all just comes gushing out, it's a lot to try to take in. :)
When you're in San Francisco you should ride up to Twin Peaks. One of my personal favorites!
Quality content as always. Man there are some beautiful places on this planet, great job on sharing some.
Thanks for switching me onto the Vegan Cyclists channel too. Been watching a few of his videos and I'm loving his work. His "Breathe" video is quality.

Glacier point... some of the cleanest air i've ever let into my lungs. Utterly stunning place.
its always fun hearing people talk about san francisco
Simply fantastic!
Awesome video! Miss you guys!

My favorite thing about Tyler is those Impossible Routes soo Epic can’t believe those
Just now finding your videos!! Very helpful, bro. Keep it up. 😎 thank you

3:50 Your 24 hr height variance is 100% in the torso AFAIK so saddle height should be dialed in.
have been looking forward to this.
Ahhh stoked to see you do tunnel view!
Great stuff!
When and where are you guys riding in the Bay Area?
Tyler is a good man welcome you guys. Such an embassador. 👌
Great job Francis. Your videos with your cycling buddy's are very enjoyable. I have a question. Do you guy's have any form of rollers, massage tools etc?
No. Nothing with us. Strengthening>massage imo
Enjoying this adventure...can you tell me the make/model of James' helmet?
KASK Mojito
thnks, sorry to see this trip come to an end!
How cool is this place? Good to see you guys enjoying yourselves. By the way that “driveway” you showed us is actually a cliff! 😊
What a beautiful place to live, paradise indeed and nicely videoed by the moustache man himself! 👍😄📽
Where can I get a bike fit from James? He was mentioning bar width and mentioning wrist pain & tall people I'm 6"7' with a Trek Emonda ALR 64CM and would love to get it right. London based too (y)
GRANT MCDONNELL drop me a line on James.thomas@sigmasports.com
Thanks I will do. P.s I am not expecting a quick reply ha, enjoy.
Go England!!!!!! 🏴⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️🍻
Is the hiphop track at 9:10 from the soundcloud account which is closed? Because I cant find it on kleberjones' soundcloud. Any help?
Kleber removed it, not sure why
hey could any send me the title's video where James presents his winter bike formally? i need to see it !!
Cade you cool along with Lawrence I watch both Volg's and proudly subscribe. Can you PLS talk about the camera you use in vlogging. Keep up super work
Hope you enjoyed Yosemite. Great videos.
Switched to 39cm bars about a year ago. Huge difference in arm fatigue reduction.
Gordon Moat Yep makes a difference doesn’t It. I did the same! Gone from 40 to 38
This ride rocks !!!
which bike is the one green with carbon yellow wheels?
Love it all, man!!! Jealous!!
I am going to have to try out a few T-Shirt rides, probably to the pub
Wow 5XL Did you try to fit 2 of you guys inside the shirt
T shirt rides.... true cycling... keep the faith!
The way James' face behaves, it's like it's trying to escape from his head. It's like a bad trip, except it's real, and on his head
What did James do? Change to a shorter stem?
Just changed the hood position
Can you do that without having to re-do all the cabling? Or did they have some in-built adjustment. Also, sick vlog!
You have to stick the cables down with tape again, but don't need to change their length!
If you're coming up to NorCal, ride mount Diablo and don't forget to visit Oakland!
I bought a 54cm bike that came with a 120mm stem.
Why do bike producers put such long stems on new bikes?
Also, even though the bike shop offers a bike fit with purchase, they're unwilling to swap out any parts. Stem, Cranks etc...
Or, cut down the steerer tube and seatpost.
Find a new bike shop, decent bike shops will swap out parts for a fee and be flexible for their customers. Enjoy the new bike.
Ian Woodcock I'm sure they would have sold me other parts and charged $12 an hour to install them. Cutting parts to fit or save weight would have cost the same in labor. And, it's $12 an hour. Or any part of an hour. That means if it takes only 5 mins. you pay for a full hour.

VC is my favourite cycling TH-camr. I'm vegan as well & it's refreshing to come across vegan TH-camrs that aren't fuckwits.
It's nice seeing my subscribed cyclists hanging out together. Well done guys @VC @Cade
How's the wheel?
All good!
"This is Paradise, this could be like Jamaica" you guys should come to Jamaica and ill show you around.
That flannel shirt will probably fit my friend but, he is 6 4" and 270 lbs...it sure looked pretty comical on you Francis ..you had a few days break from eatting at Denny's and that's good.
thanks...gota snooze zzzzzzzzzzzzz
I love t-shirt rides
Francis, now you have the tiny head (in the 5XL shirt).
Checking in 2 years after you posted this. Shoutout to the YT algorithm
😂
Lawrence: This could be like Jamaica. Ahahahahahah I love Lawrence
Too bad that bike fit won't help much now. R.I.P. bike.
Liam Sangaku yup was thinking the same thing.
Nice bloke that Tyler, his channel is worth a sub too, for those that aren't. :)
foooken cool man!
Damn, i thought the video was going to end with the "as always, vegan cyclist, Yuhh!!"
But, you still have time.
I used to run with a weight belt for training and imagine if you did a race after riding with all that weight
Dog on great time! WOOF!
Been doing one tshirt ride a week for over a year now, it's the future 😂
James explain “helmet squeeze” to the new viewers please 😂
It must have been the shoddy bike fit that caused the crash... :)
How has James ended up with the ‘un-coolest’ looking helmet in the world? So much choice out there. Surely you guys must give him some stick for it?
FC and VC it simply does not get any better.
"being taller in the morning when you wake up than when you go to bed at night" At this rate I will be 7' foot tall by weekend.;0) #BikeFitMonday
T-shirt ride? Riding for fun?
Lawrence is so deadpan...makes me laugh.
nedster63 love it!!!
I can't tell if the VC's tubeless comment was staged or not: but regardless the funniest reaction I have ever seen
Sup FC...check it out...
Teddys rolling almost every night
Skating backward at the speed of light
He's changed, in a thousand little ways he's changed -yes indeed
You know
He's moving on metal,
Yes he's hanging on tight with the jack of speed. hanging tight...keep rolling bad ass...give a shout out to my homies LC,J and VC...
lolllll i’m from sf and it’s quite rare to see pantless beings
T-shirt ride? You mean every normal everyday ride, like going to the stores, or to work, or visiting friends, that isn't exercise?
yes
let me guess - next video "The Tunnel View"
Q: why dont you go tubeless
A: because im not stupid
🤣👍
No pants? Try a bum j/o at the bottom of the Embarcadero BART Station escalator!
Pork & Beans right there. He stopped when he saw me, but my buddy saw it, and he's a out of state Police Officer! He was in shock........I was like, "welcome to The City!"
E M ewwwww!!! 😲
James is so beautiful and perfect. 🥰
Laurence is a lost pup not a dog
James = The Hound from GoT
Connor Chong harsh dude
James Thomas you sir, are a noble character like the Hound with your bike fit logic (new sub, catching up on all the bike fit Tuesdays, really making me consider a proper fit despite feeling alright on my bike like the Vegan Cyclist).
☺️
Give James an inch...... and he is lost!!
If only I could drag my lady away from NYC..
call me the youtube copyright bot because that song was waves by miguel and tame impala
5XL LOL
Not aero.
watched this then Lawrences , he's got a great Face for radio.......................
What he said
You let Vegan Cyclist pick the music?
I heard Oshkosh B'gosh in there... my home town! woot!
Lawrence looks so boring and upsetting during this whole ride.. :( bring back happy Lawrence plz
