The guy on the moped scratching his head after you pass him is hilarious
Right. He was like WOW! When I passed him. 😆
I've been trying to decide for about 6 months on what what road bike to buy. It was between the domane sl5, emonda sl5, and the canyon endurace. I finally decided yesterday to get the domane thanks to your videos. I'm picking it up on 5 April. I really wanted the red one, but the only available anywhere in my size was the white one. Either way, I'm still pretty excited about it.
That white one is buttery smooth Melvin!! Big congrats to you on getting a new bike! I’m sure you’ll love it! April 5th right around the corner!
Just got mine sl7 etap this week and blown away. I was lucky to have found it. Ride is incredible so far. Only thing, it is not light and has me wondering a bit. One of my goals with the new bike was to keep up with faster riders (old guy geeks). Also contemplating the 32 mm tire width strategy before I go tubeless.
I Just bought mine, ened up with the SL4 since I loved the colorway and I have Ultegra Di2 from My last bike that I crashed. The Color is Trek Voodoo Black. Have Not got a delivery date yet😢
@@hms350 You'll definitely be able to keep up if your conditioning is up to par. That is one awesome bike you picked up. The best bang for the buck going forward for you will be working on your strength to body weight ratio and conditioning. Juan has a nice video on why he uses a power meter to train that is really on point.
@@hms350 I ride a Domane SL5 and upgraded it with XXX4 wheels. Rode roughly 6000km on them with 32mm GP5000 and have now switched to28mm GP5000 - fantastic
Thank you for your videos! Because of you I decided on the 2021 Domane SL6 (Black on Black!). I was initially planning to get the Checkpoint but after watching your videos I realized the Domane is exactly what I’m looking for!!! And also thanks to you, I figured out how to use the Trek site to locate a bike quickly and not wait. The bike was the last one in the store - my size and the color I wanted. It is a few hours away, but luckily I had a friend that lived in that area that was able to pay for it in the store for me and it’s being shipped to my local Trek store for assembly. Thanks so much!! I can’t wait to ride my new Domane!
Big congratulations on the new Domane!! I’m glad to hear i was able to help in your decision making!
Kudos to DR 👍🏻 I'm from PR 🤙🏻 Have fun my friend! #TropicalIslandLife 🙌🏻
Yes indeed Salvá. Shout out to my neighbor island!
I just got the domane 4 still waiting for it but I'm going to get those lights and the wahoo element. Dude u got balls to ride like that in the DR
Hey john, enjoying your videos,
I got the Garmin radar rear light and computer with front light installed in the last couple of weeks, best bit of gear ever to put on a bike, always know what is behind me which allows me to totally relax when I am riding especially when making turns and have to move to the middle of the road. Not much chop on busy roads for always going off, but on rides where the traffic is not heavy bloody brilliant. As I have said previously I am 73 and a little bit more nervy than when I was younger so a great addition to the Domane.
Hey Warren! I’ve heard great things about the Radar/light that Garmin has. Great addition to help ease concerns of road riding as you mentioned. It is something I plan to check out in the future.
Awesome, John! beautiful place and I'm sure your Domane is right at home there as well :)
Thanks! Pretty cool riding out here!
Hey bud, new subscriber here from Canada. Same here i really want that Trek Domane, I'm hoping to get one soon. Ride safe John,peace 👍🏻
Shout out to y’all in Canada and allow me to formally welcome you to the team!! Love to have you aboard! Be safe and keep riding! Let me know if you end up getting the Domane! It’s a great bike!
You were flying!
I’m mad the format that I recorded in I couldn’t upload the stats to. Lesson learned. But if you look at my strava, I hit a top speed of 46.3 mph which is my fastest.
@@johnmanuel7561 Sorry my friend, I run out of courage above 30, at least on my cyclocross bike. Maybe the Domane will make me more comfortable with going fast (when I get it). 👍🏻
I worked at Spokes etc. in Vienna! Great bike shop!
That’s where I got my bike and a few other items from.
Same, I also have mountain bike pedals only the other side is flat pedal. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks Jun. that’s a good combo too
Nice, I also kept my Sl5 stock just added some Bontrager Comp Anodised SPD Pedals. it really is a great bike as it is. I do have a bar bag for extra spare tho and gels for longer rides. Wow so sunny where you are, we’re just coming into spring, I looking forward to warm rides.
As you said, it’s pretty sweet “as is”. I was loving the weather while I was there. Nothing like a bright sunny day to go for a ride!
Man, u move around ,looked at a Domane yesterday, I'm in Tx, saw your Galveston route ,would love to hit that up one day soon.💯
😂 😂, yea gotta stay on the move!! I can’t stay still, even for a location lol. That area is amazing especially that causeway down by the Galveston Bay.
Love visiting DR man...best most relaxing vacay I've ever experienced. A poor people, but super proud and no one really begs. It's all hustle. At least in my experience.
Definitely a unique place! Always enjoy coming home to see family.
gotta have them lights, nice bike.
Finally picked up my domane today! Can’t wait to start riding. Thanks for helping me decide on the domane!
That’s what’s up Ashley!! Big congratulations and I’m excited for you to start riding as well!! Start making those memories on the bike. And im happy to hear I was able to help in a way.
Congrats, got mine Tuesday night (fortunate) and ride is amazingly smooth. Rode Friday and Saturday.
Got mines on Saturday. Safe riding all!
Such a smooth ride! I bought the lights too John. So glad for the review guy did on the lights I love them. Hoping to get a computer soon. Happy domane riding y’all! 🚲
@@ashleysimon79 heres a link for a mount for your computer and lights. I seen John mention it to someone in the comments and ordered one. www.shapeways.com/product/BWVCE3NQ5/wahoo-elemnt-roam-gopro-blendr-mount-low
Man this guy must have been really hungry! Imagine this big dude descending in the Alps. 100 kph easy.
When it’s time to eat, watch out! 😂
Great footage, enjoy. Picked up my SL7 etap this week in Madison WI despite Trek Chicago store blocks from my house. Got in about 40 miles today. First time with SRAM and thumbs up. Bike incredibly smooth and blown away (or was it that I paid large sum and psychology at work). Like your going with SPD pedals and agree, I mix it up between Look and SPD. With your Wahoo, how did you connect it with Blendr (if you did)? For some reason Trek only has Garmin mount, I did see TH-cam hack. Saw one 3D printed solution on Amazon.
Awesome. I’m sure it was a combination of both psychology plus feel, but it is a great ride! My mount is from a website called shapeways.com and it’s called “Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt Blendr Mount short”.
Lol great vids, Bud!
Zipped past my mans on the scoot scoot
You should’ve heard him, he was like wow and then was scratching his head. Lol.
My country is beautiful, I’m from puerto plata, nice videos, I’m going to buy that same bike but is a little bit hart to find on Charlotte, NC and I don’t want to wait, is one available on Philadelphia, maybe I flight there to get it, thanks
Dimelo Joel! I would definitely take a road trip to get a bike. Makes for a cool story.
John, just curious why you went with the Wahoo over the Garmin?
Very nice set up Are you running the stock wheels and tires? I just added Bontrager Aeolus Pro 37 wheels to my SL6. It's a very nice upgrade. Always enjoy your videos, thanks.
Yes. Stock wheels I kept everything stock for the channel. Appreciate that as always
Ed, did you notice a big difference when you upgraded to the Pro 37 wheels? I’m considering a similar upgrade to my Domane SL5 to make it lighter and more nimble.
@@careyrosemarin I'm very happy with them. Only have about 200 miles so far. I noticed a good improvement immediately. They spin up much easier and coast further. I feel like their top speed is only limited by the old guy in the saddle. Paired with Tubolito tubes they're much lighter.
@@edwood7741 Thanks Ed; be safe.
Just got a Domane SL 5 last week. I'm looking at adding a Stages Gen 3 105 power meter. How much clearance do you have between the battery and the chain stay. I used the method on the Stages website and a 10mm allen wrench wouldn't fit in the entire 5mm to 12mm measurement area. Mine is a 50 with 170mm crank arms.
Wats up John how did u get the wahoo to sit and work on the handle bars? The bontrager mounts only work for Garmin!!! My bad for asking u on 2 different videos toooo!!! Smh
What’s up bro! All good, it’s from a 3D printing company called shapeways.com. Search Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt Blendr mount short
@@johnmanuel7561 i actually found a bontager mount that fit i believe
Which one is it? I’ll check it out.
Great Video! What handlebar mount did you use for the Wahoo and the light?
The Wahoo is on a “wahoo ELEMNT bolt blendr GoPro mount short “ from shapeways.com and the light is attached to the GoPro mount below the wahoo using “Bontrager Blendr High Ion Light Mount”
Thanks for the info!
Hey John! I’m riding a 2019 domane slr and I’m wondering how/what mounts you used to attach the wahoo and the light to the blendr system?
It’s a mount from a 3D printing company. Shapeways.com. Once on their site, search Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt Blendr Mount.
Hey man, what brand of cycling clothes do you use? Bibs and jerseys.. I’ve tried different bibs (not top brands, mostly from Amazon), but man they don’t cover your front area very well and it makes your stuff look like a camel toe you know LOL.. I don’t know what’s up with that. So, to go out in public wearing that it’s a no you know.. so, not sure if better top brands are better for that stuff or what.. any tips on clothing ? Love your vids man.
What’s going on! So for bottoms, I use bontrager bibs. Unless I’m on my indoor trainer, and have a few Amazon brands for those. The entire line of bontrager are good. I invest in bibs since that impacts my riding, if I’m not comfortable. So I would advice get a good pair of bibs. And I have a few nice tops for recording but will use Amazon brands for the tops to save money. Appreciate the support!!
Very nice!
Thanks Laura!
What blendr mount are you using for the wahoo?
It’s a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt GoPro Blendr Mount - Short from a company called shapeways.com. However the short version doesn’t seem to be available at this time. The “low” one however is available. Or the short one without the GoPro adapter underneath. Hope this helps.
Speed❤❤❤❤❤
How do you find the saddle comfort John? Thanks
To be honest, it just takes time in the saddle to get use to it. Along with padded shorts. However I would recommend a good quality pair of shorts. At least one pair for really long rides. And maybe a cheaper pair for shorter rides where it is not needed as much. Because these things can get expensive. I have 2 expensive pairs of shorts and then a few cheaper ones.
✌🚲
I don’t know about them shorts though 🩳 🤣🤣
Those shorts are where it’s at. 😂
Yo dude. Maybe buy some ncs fenders. The bike is quit dirty but atleast you ride your bike
Yea that was from being caught out in the rain. I normally would’ve washed it, if I wasn’t out of the country. The fenders do keep it clean though.
Did you really just overtake a dude on a scooter? I had to watch that 3x !
Yea. He was like wow!!! When I passed him. Lol. That’s when I looked back and laughed at him and he scratched his head. Lol
