Thanks man! Oh man, I think you just hit pure gold. 100% gold. I don’t know if the internet is ready for that review but there is only one way to find out…

Yes, as a former Ford Ranger owner, we need this.

I wish I was Oprah at this moment

Big fan of titanium. I’m actually saving up for a Ti gravel rig right now. It’s light, has stellar ride quality and the best part? It doesn’t get damaged like carbon does. After having ridden Ti, Aluminum, steel, carbon, etc… for frames I opted for carbon for my road race bike. I think each material has its pros and cons for sure, but I liked the pros more than the cons for this rig so I stuck with it. Been super happy thus far. As far as rims go, I’ve noticed a big difference in ride quality over aluminum and they are way lighter which is a huge bonus for those 4+ hour days. Totally understand where you’re coming from but I don’t think I’ll be switching back to aluminum.

You bet! Glad it was helpful. Hope you’re enjoying the new bike!

@@petersouthernboy6327 just hit the 1,000 mile mark on it and she’s still rilling. Swapped the wheels out for some Forge+Bond Shift CR 45’s and they run like a dream.

Haha yeah, maybe not the most budget option out there. But the most budget option that Ventum offers. For a race-ready frame equipped with Di2, it’s more on the budget side than most other options out there 🤘

Yeah if it’s not 20 years old and sporting rim brakes these commenters will make you crazy.

@@petersouthernboy6327 different strokes for different folks, right? I’m all for a cool build whether it’s a steel frame race rig or a carbon rocket ship.

Love to hear it! Glad they are working out for you!

If you go the the Coospo App and go to "More"-> "Bike Computer" -> "Bike Computer Settings" -> "Total Distance" - You can then enter 0 and that will restart the ODO. Good luck!

Sorry I missed this comment. Are you still having this problem? The ole factory reset might be the move.

This computer can support power - all it would require is getting a power meter. That's where things get expensive. Shoot me an email and I can recommend some affordable power meters! averagejoesoutdoor@gmail.com

I've had mine for over a year and I haven't had that problem yet.

Pretty sure he did.

@@SESSIONS73 It's called race fuel, not fat!

I have not figured out how to do this... If there is a way I don't know how.

Awesome, glad you're liking it!

I have owned multiple pairs of Pomoca Climb 2.0 skins (used to sell a ton of them when I worked at the ski shop) and I used to love them. But I do think quality has gone down hill over the last few pairs I have owned. When it comes to price, I feel like the dollar goes much further with BSMP. You don't get the same glide but (i stand by this) you get better grip, a much more durable skin and tail clips that actually stay on. I still own and use Pomoca skins but when it comes to a true VALUE driven purchase (something I think the Average Joe is conscious of) I can't say Pomoca is my go-to recommendation.

Dang, sorry to hear about that! That sucks. I guess there are probably a few lemons out there. I've heard their customer support is pretty great to work with - I hope you are able to get a replacement! Curious how long you've had yours?

@@AverageJoesOutdoor i had it for about 10 months, 2 months of that time left unused because i was sick, the odometer is at around 2000km, it’s a fantastic unit for beginner cyclist who doesn’t need navigation, it has long battery life, the app has few issues but for the price i can’t really complaint (i got it for $20) the costumer service at least answers your email tho

Yeah, I’ve got a decent list of what I like to do for solid foods on longer rides. Blank’s isn’t a complete nutrition solution. They do offer a high carb mix for that but I prefer to mix in solid foods to get carbs. Stay tuned for a video on complete fueling… 👀

Do it! You won’t regret. Let’s chat for sure! Long distance strategy is tough but I’ll share what I like to do!

I’ll give em a try! They’ve also added carbon to the 95 for next year so it’s poised to be a killer ski… 👀

Gotta watch the full thing and you’ll find out! 😏

Let's collaborate? E-Skis is an untapped market!

He’s happy but I’d say more of a mountain man than hippy. One of those guys who is going to start showing up to the resort on horseback

Thank you!

Yeah, I have swapped them out a few times before the problems started. I thought that might have been it but I honestly don’t think it is unfortunately.

@AverageJoesOutdoor sounds like a unit issue since you said the same happens to the cadence sensor as well. Might want to try another head or watch and see if the HRM and cadence still works or not

@@WariWahab cadence reads accurately but the way it connects to the bike is subpar and falls off. But when it is attached it is pretty accurate. I really do just think the HRM has connectivity issues.

You can update the computer through the Coospo Ride App so you’re good on that front!

Bro, you probably want to look for another head unit, mine just died when i tried to update its firmware. Right now I’m waiting for them to reply my email, i won’t even bother to send my unit if they told to, it’s a time consuming and it’s a cheap unit anyway

For a basic bike computer you’re spot on, it’s a Garmin killer. It does lack navigation, Strava live segments, etc… but for what you pay it is an impressive unit!

@@AverageJoesOutdoor if you get lost just use your phone, if your so far out you don't have service, shame on you for not getting a route before you go

@@mikeb9303 Exactly!

If you go the the Coospo App and go to "More"-> "Bike Computer" -> "Bike Computer Settings" -> "Total Distance" - You can then enter 0 and that will restart the ODO. Good luck!

@@AverageJoesOutdoor that worked, thanks!!

@@23aviatorguy you bet! Glad I could help!

Thanks Nate! Glad you like them!

Yeah them environmentalists are on to something here. Saving the environment AND making pretty killer skis? Can't complain about that!

Makes sense. Sure wish they would have done well off piste if that’s what they were aiming for.

Glad I’m not the only one that had the same experience but bummed the ski were a disappointment!

I have opened a whole new world of shade with this one

Let’s get out and ski this week - I’ll tell you all about it 🤘

Thank you! It was a day for the books!

This is your invite to all training rides

Thank you! There’s always room for more… 😏

@@AverageJoesOutdoor I'm in.

@@Gearthirty this challenge just got bumped to the next level

I’m expecting some e-bike laps while I’m suffering!

Thanks Myke!

Both signs of a good time 🤘

highly recommend giving one a shot!
