The Well Over 50 Cyclist
United Kingdom
Registrace 21. 03. 2023
My name is Paul Sturrock, not the EX Football player / Manager hence The Cyclist in my title. I have a background in BMX racing in the 80s and also in the 2010s. During this time I bought my first road bike and I dove head-first into the wonderful world of road cycling.
At first, it was just as long endurance training rides as an escape. As I started riding my bike more, it gave me that much-needed time to destress and help my mental health, something that I have suffered from for a few years, before it became the NEW buzzword. What started as just some short and easy local rides, soon turned into something much more than that! An obsession... one of the positive kind.
I've now done a hell of a lot of cycling, ...I am not one to shy away from a challenge, I've pushed myself to my physical and mental limits.
Come and join me on my journey
I am also a Widower, Dad, and Grandad overweight as well as an over-50 Cyclist who supports Sunderland AFC

A Truly MENTAL Descent BY A Over 50 Year Old Cyclist

Watch as I take on a 37% decent on my gravel bike while still on the hoods. Sadly, the descent suffers from the typical GoPro fault of making the image look flatter than it is.

Hi mate, sounds better than the 36tooth on video but do you notice much difference in person?
Hi, thanks for your question. Yes, I have found they pick up more or less immediately.
@@PaulTheCyclist. that’s good, do you notice much volume difference? Seems like a nicer buzzier noise on video
How are you enjoying them? Would you say the freehub is loud? Loud enough to alert pedestrians etc?
Hi, thanks for your question. Yes, they do get a pedestrian's attention while freewheeling.
@@PaulTheCyclist. i just purchased some and they're a little underwhelming in terms of noise when spinning the hub in my hands. Do they get louder once ridden in?
that's rust? omg
LOL, If you say so.
lol, the music is a little dramatic
Very nice
Hola qué año es
Cuanto pesa con las ruedas normales?
Is this only on an indoor trainer or outside riding aswell? Mine is much dirtier after only 100 miles but then I'm using the low temperature version which I'm guessing is less firm in warmer temperatures and therefore attracts more dirt/dust.
Does have a ratchet hub?

What is the max tyre clearance?
I am running 25mm and there is not much room for anything bigger.
@@PaulTheCyclist.i am running my gtr team (2021) rimbrake with 28mm Conti GP5000 without any problems .
@@Mas421 Same, 28mm there's absolutely any problems !
These are loud, They recorded 81 decibels on my phone app.
