I have a TCX Advanced with 3 sets of wheels: the stock 700s with 33c cross tires, another set with 28c slicks, and a 650B set with 2.25" mtb tires. Best 3 bikes I've ever owned!
@@henryp7187 I'm running stock SRAM 1x Apex, with the stock 11-42 cassettes on the cross and 650B wheels, and 11-28 on the road wheels (EDIT: Corrected the range on the road cassette)
Loved my tcx until i broke the alu frame. That beast could mount 700x45 tires on a cx frameset, was really fantastic, a mix between a modern gravel with beefy tires and a responsive cx geometry, looooved it!!
Gravel bikes with big fat tyres look amazing.
Loved the craic at the "YARD!" Nice to see a reuse of frame & components Francis 👍. 2.5 month trip, Wow! The big reveal awaits us all ! Wooooo ! 🤭👌👍
two and a half months?? my goodness, can’t wait to know more 👀
"unnecessary but cool" is my definition for AWESOMENESS !
"I don't think anybody as ever complain that a mech shift is too slow" THANK YOU Di2 is nonsense, solving a problem that did not exist.
That bike is sweet. Nice build. Let us know if you use with the fitted tires and if good with the mud
You're so lucky having the expertise of Backyard Bikes on your doorstep. Great video once again and the bike looks wicked!!
nice, i went for Hutchinson toro cx 47 in the end, for the time being works well over the Southdown's and muddy patches. I did have some fun fitting my 650b mtb wheels with Maxxis DHF 2.3 on my Canyon Grizl though was totally overkill and sounded like a tractor :)
Can’t wait for the new adventure👍😀Best regards Martin
Good looking bike! Have a safe trip ahead!
That bike is sick looks amazing
Excited to see the new trip
Currently riding a Fairlight Strael with Victoria Barzo 27.5 x 2.25 tyres. Great fun!
It looks the business! looking forward to how it rides.
Good look on that big ride Francis.
That's a stunner, gutted when it fell over at the end 👍🏻
Sick bike build!
Ah Nic's extreme gravel club. Bike looks alright with those chunkys, mtb Hardtail usually ran fat front tyre 2.3 and 2.1 or 2.0 on the back so should be fine with the Addict. Happy packing, interested to see what your up to.👍
Looks like an angry beast, I love it!
¡Hermosa puesta a punto!. 👍👏
Awesome build, envy on the other side of the Atlantic.
Good luck with the trip
Exciting times ahead!
Hi francis. I've got a similar setup for filth. Check out the continental cross king 2.0 tubeless tyre for the rear 👍
Lol Jimmy can just look at the camera and crack me up:D
Looking forward to the next trip bigtime.
Nice bike!
Need to try some 650b wheels on my gravel bike.
Luckily it's a current Fairlight Secan so anything up to 650 X 2.4 is fair game! 😉
As Bikefit James's would say... badass!
Love it!
Was about to buy some 29er tyres and fling them on the 700c roadbike and see if it works, seems everybody has the same idea because you cant buy tyres on ebay for reasonable prices right now
Awwww I wanted that frame😂😂
Get ready for destroyed paint work;
Added bonus of chunks missing out of down tube.
I would recommend some protection for the frame … but I suspect it’s probably too late
Hey, shimano does make a different version of GRX Di2, called 817, that’s the 1X grx derailleur
I have those tyres on my Whyte hard tail. I ride them and have fun.
on that note, what do you think about putting dropbars on a hardtail mtb/xc-bike/etc. My commuting is 90% forest roads/gravel and I think it would help with comfort and give more options in terms of hand positions. I would like to keep the suspension to safe my wrists and shoulders.
looking forward to your upcomming adventure ✌🏻
I think Dylan Johnson did something like this for a gravel race recently, worth looking at his socials for the details!
When Nick states nobody complains about shift speed. I actually do constantly regarding my eTap front mech, it's very slow with inconsistent shift quality compared to my Di2 bikes.
Put some frame protector tape where the tyre passes to keep the frame safe.
I want to be fit enough to say a 1/1 gear ratio will get me up anything! On my next gravel bike I'm probably going to get GRX 400 to get a 30/36 lowest gear! 😅 #regularhuman
@Jobsworth Jobber my bike came with GRX400, and yes, I agree it's Tiagra and clunky (compared to my mechanical 105 on my road bike) . However, it works. I put precisely that 10 speed SLX 11-36 on both sets of wheels, and it works just fine, the 2x GRX 400 rear mech will take it no problem
@Jobsworth Jobber that's the point. There are no 11 speed Shimano 11/36 cassettes. They think we're all pumping out pro watts. My current gravel bike is 9 speed Sora. The only problem with it is no hydraulic brakes. The number of gears doesn't bother me as long as I get the range of gears I need.
Why to buy shimano casettes? Theres plenty aftermarket offers
I feel you need to take a visit to see Captain 👀 I miss that guy!
He really loves SRAM
THE CLIFF HANGERSSSSSSSSSSS!
Have you ever tried Oakley photochromic lens? Would you recommend or not?
We put bigger tyres on my bike and it barely fits. Barely. On rare occasions it sees mud, I do need to clean it off straight away. I have a mountain bike for real off road, that other bike is more for light unpaved roads, slightly icy, around town conditions in bad weather
Two and a half months, wow.
It's Ultegra RX and not GX. Did you mention anything about how wide the tyres are?
And also, what part of the built would actually void the warranty!? Can't be because of the 650bs, can it?
Can you buy the addict gravel tuned as a frame-only?
I don't get why you did not put the mullet SRAM setup from the other bike on this one and the double GRX on the one you will be using for 3k miles... Would make more sense imo
Questions.
How tall is a 650 +50 mm compared to a 700 + 45 or 47mm
in height and gaps in the frame
... is there any close measurament/ equivalent?
I assume the main difference between London and Northern gravel rides is you should be on a road bike in London and you should be on a MTB in the North :)
Do you gain any tire clearance with 650b in the back? I have the same frame and felt like the chainstays are almost parallel so smaller diameter would not extend the clearance. I run 700x45c pirelli cinturato gravel S which measure 46mm . Not much room to spare. Got the same frame in size M. You might wanna give the pirellis a go
from what I can tell, a little bit. but they are definitely shaped to accommodate a 700c tyre!
Oh cool a monster
The Bodge of the Century was done by Dan at GCN about five years ago when he mounted a third lever to the bars of his road bike for a dropper post. And he even called it the Bodge of the Century. But maybe it's a cycling thing in England, everyone coming up with the Bodge of the Century. 😀
Hi Francis
What is your conclusion after the first ride?
Hi i have a 2015 scott foil 10 road bike, i want to replace my seatpost for a 0 offset, i just want to know what brand of seatpost to replace it, it has a d shape seatpost? Thanks
I’d put flat bars on it, maybe those kitchen sink bars
Really 650b rim are fitting with 27,5 mtb tires ?
that setup looks like its primed for Scottish gravel 🤩lovely!
Please test if possible a new new ADHX TIME gravel bike...
2 and a half months man you have the life lol
2 1/2 Months before you can ride it!??? It's going to be stale and you'll have to build a new one....Jimmi is a boss
I saw the thumbnail and thought "boy that white bar tape really got dirty fast"
“You may wondering why nick doesn’t ride a hard tail” ….shots fired
Haha the bike flopped when you said that it looks fun, guess it's not as fun
I have Scott SubCross Tour with Force 26" MTB aluminium fork. Right now it has f 29x2.15 Vittoria Mezcal and r 29x2.10 Terreno XC. It has Avid bb7 brakes and 180/160 rotors. It has Richey flared 440 dorpbar with Sora/9spd XT with Microshift 11-42 cassette. 1x setup with Raval Bike Fibonacci sequence oval 40t chainring. External dropper post operated by sora 2x shifter. Weight is close to your bike if it had a 5l water bottle attached to it, but it's able to take beating and I race it agianst XC bikes.
why are the wheels so deep, you wont have any aero advantage with these massive tires? :P
Don't forget you valve extensions #Vietnam 🇻🇳
Wise man.
3000 miles makes me think across the USA?
Old school Ultegra clutch derailleur was Ultegra Rx (btw)
That’s the one! Rx not gx!
2,5 months? damn gl. hopefully you find back home and don't end up in a taliban prison or something
Hellooo
🤤🤤🤤
Sort of hilarious that you're running a 2x setup with a small cassette for this type of riding. The other one would benefit more from 2x and vice versa.
For this trip it’s worth it to be matching with my ride partner - plus the 1x has more range unless I changed the cassette on this bike
@@Cade_Media Makes sense. Re-reading my comment it comes off as aloof and snarky.. sorry about that. I just thought it was funny - i'm a big fan of experimenting and mixing and matching setups myself, so i both get it and enjoy your builds everytime. I'm really excited for your content over these next few months - wonderful timing for those of us stuck in a cold, wet and dark north. Thank you for making what you do!
I💖🚴
Sounds like a hard tail makes more sense where they ride, but as you say; ride what you have. Bike looks very nice but I agree that a smaller tyre on the rear will be necessary.
USA USA USA ;-)
If you think its unnessecary, I'll Take it
THat bike looks so sexy beast!
Bike looks deadly. Can't wait to see "THE BIG REVEAL." This tease is getting ridiculous 🤡
Those big tires on that kids bike frame make it look mean! Those size tires on my bike look like actual gravel tires. Lol
"Building a monster gravel bike" shows like 10 seconds total of building time.
That's bad a$$
Yo francis,did not ave u down as a lightwieght!!1st bike i ave liked on show,some kit missing,decent width bars,no dropper,will ave to wait to how light u really are when u show the way u ride with nick,welcome to the club lol
Nick is a 90's mountain biker.
I would give you my mechanical opinion of the Scott Addict Gravel, but I work at a shop that sells them.
Bro I think you have too many frames time to give one away to your subs!!!
was these the parts from the Vietnam bike?
Can we film Nick fitting a Di2 groupset to an Time ADHX that’s on its way in and that won’t actually see any gravel….. 😂😂
Key words - MOUNTAIN BIKE tires. Those are not for gravel bikes - what you guys are playing with are merely drop-bar MTB's. Nothing wrong with that, but don't mistake it for gravel.
No need for a hardtail when the Cascade from the Sheffield brand Cotic exists. A proper drop-bar monster.
That wheel's not 650b, Jimmi's just really tall
Fat bike!
Francis,your „Carbon“ - footprint is one of the worst i’ve ever seen!
How much more bikes do you need or is it kinda addiction ?!
It always fascinates me that a lot of the vlogs related to gravel bikes appear to focus on attempts to make them a far less compromised cross country bike.
I guess some people just want to ride drop bars. Some shops don’t have space/resources to stock all the different mtb stuff too
42cm is wide?
I’ve 46cm Ritchey Beacons on mine.
First?
Bike yes.
Bar tape/wrap no 🤮
this is stupid just use an xc bike
I have no interest in bikes, you are just a very entertaining handsome man.
A friend of mine has just cycled around the whole island of Taiwan - there's literally a cycle route that circles the whole country. I'd love to do it one day, but would also watch you, Lawrence, James, Chris have a pop at it.

You contacted me about winning your contest- Then no further info. Can you contact me?
That was not me that was a scammer
