Congratulations big man top day out at Manny Trek. Good store, great deal and lovely bike 🚲 Enjoy it 👏
Cheers matey ❤️ your right 🤩
Well deserved mate. Stunning bike. Sub 7hr on the fred next year 😁
Cheers buddy 😉 maybe a sub 9 hour total time. The goal will be to beat this years time and get the “picture” on hardknott
This is unreal
Cheers matey ❤️
Well deserved mate.
Cheers mate. Got to give it the ultimate test on your roads soon 😜
Well done m8 , Trek is my favourite brand - although I don't own one ( yet ) - have you seen their FX Sport range - belting bikes - especially for the commute - maybe you can do a video of a test ride - like the one with sram AXS . Enjoy the new bike .
There’s a video on my channel where I rode the Trek FX2 in Australia last year. Cracking bike for the commute 😍
Maddeh is mint😊
She’s certainly is mate. We’re gonna have some fun together 😉
@@CyclingwithRuss I lost your channel for some reason and found you today but didn’t recognise you with your fitness and confidence gains. I’m going to catch up on the Wilton collection today!
Cheers matey. Hoping to take maddie on the Whitton next year
Congratulations 🥳. I’m an Ambassador for Trek Bath and I also called my Madone(Gen7) Maddy 😂. I’m hoping to get a Gen 8 in December, it’s a great bike which loves to climb as well as cruise on the flats. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming videos on how you get on with her 👍🏼
So many question to ask you buddy. You on insta ? She’s a lovely bike mate. I’m taking her into the saddleworth hills tonight for a solo mission. I’ll be filming and hopefully have the video out this Sunday 😍 Maddys a great name brother 😎
@@CyclingwithRuss if I can answer any I will 😁. I am but don’t post anything. I should start though 🤦🏻. Mwarrentrekambassador.
Awesome news, congrats mate 👏👏👏
Cheers buddy ❤️
Congratulations Russ, looking forward to watching all of your adventures, bet the smiles not left your face since you picked the bike up
@@johndutson4971 it’s hasn’t mate. In Love with the bike and always been a fan of the brand 😍
Like a kid at Xmas 🤣🤣👏👏
I am mate 🤣🤣🤣
Well deserved.....now enjoy your madone 🤩
Cheers mate. I fully intend on doing 😍
Congratulations mate 🎉
Cheers buddy
Brilliant Russ, You never stopped grinning all the way into M/C, like a kid at Xmas 😀😀😀👌👍 What a stunning bike also. Well deserved pal. The staff at that store are really friendly and helpful. 😃😃😃
I know it’s exactly how I felt. It was a great day mate. Not only did I get the bike I also managed to get oasis tickets so it was a double bubble fun day
They say good thing happen in three's...youll win the lottery next 😄
That wouldn’t be as good as the trek deal though 😜 knowing my luck I’ll win £10 and the Mrs will snatch it 🤪
Did you get a full bike fit from trek.
They sized me up for the bike. They didn’t do the bike fit you’d need to get one of them off a bike fitter
@@CyclingwithRuss I thought that most of the big brands did in house bike fits, I know Cookson’s in Prestwich who are Trek agents do a free bike fit with a bike sale. You’ve really turned my head with that madone, I’m likely to get an insurance payout for a car hitting me on a roundabout last summer but to be honest I couldn’t ever see me spending sl6 gen 8 prices but you know, depending on your experiences with Maddy I just might!
@@langy1318 I’ll be letting you know my view on the bike soon mate. Need to get more miles in before that
Good things happen to good people for a reason 👌🏻🚴
Nice one Russ, looks a very nice bike and your more than pleased with it, did you have a choice of bike's ie Madone / Domane or Emonda? just wondered how it works.
She’s a beaut of a bike. The emonda is no more matey. Can still get them but they wanted me on the latest bike. I would still have chose this bike though as it’s a weapon out on the roads 😍
The smile on your face driving to/from the Trek store said it all. Nicely done! 👊
Honestly I’m still smiling. Cheers matey 😀
@@CyclingwithRuss I ride a Gen 6 Madone SL6 and can only fantasize about the Gen 8. So happy for you. I’ve got my own channel too and love the creative process. Cheers!
Keep going with it matey. I’ve subbed you back. Are you on strava and insta ? You never know what will happen mate. I never expected this to happen
@@CyclingwithRuss I appreciate the sub 👊
Gratz Russ that's amazing, definitely looking forward to a review.
It’s coming mate. Just racking up the miles before I do one. Done 204 miles in a week. She’s fast that’s for sure
Really pleased for you mate, also jealous as f#&k. Please do a side by side with your domane, ride position and seat/bar height differences. My first bike was a 5.2 madone , I would like a new Madone or Emonda but I’m worried about the riding position. That grin can’t be aerodynamic can it😂
My domane is in bits in the attic feeling sorry for its self waiting for me to get it repaired. There is a difference in position but I’ll talk about that in that video. I’ll try showing it on the comparison feature on the website or maybe get the Gen 4 at the store and do a comparison there. Honestly a feel incredibly lucky man. This year has certainly been a weird one so far 🙈
@@CyclingwithRuss Trek have made a great choice, I’m sure we’re all going to enjoy your “MADone FOR IT” bike rides
🤣🤪🤪🤣 I hope so 🤣🤣🤣🤣 be great if your local to join me on the shop rides as well
@@CyclingwithRuss Possibilities there mate 👍
I've been using these for a while. No issues. Yeah the black 036 stickers go on the outside of the rim over the top of the valve to stop the valve from rattling - or use a bit of black electrical tape over te vlave if you don't like the marketing logo 👍
I already had some tape there so the old tubes didn’t mark my rims. They’ve been brilliant so far. Feel like I need to lower the pressure a bit though or maybe go with a wider tyre. They feel really bad on the rougher surfaces. Will be putting my winter wheels on next month so probably will wait
@@CyclingwithRuss for my weight on 28mm I have 70psi back 65 front - not too bad. But then on Yorkshire and Lancashire roads 👎
I’ve got 80rear and 75 front
Congratulations again and very well deserved, mate! And well done Trek! Love that big grin you have all through the video, quite right too! The bike looks awesome. 👍🙂
Thanks Martin. It’s truly a dream come true to have a brand like trek is unreal. They’re super nice people in the store with a wealth of knowledge in the industry
Congratulations Russ well deserved for all the time and effort you have put into your channel 😎🚴♂️👍
Thank you Terry. It’s a great hobby along with my cycling. Having this happen is a dream come true. Thanks buddy
Another enjoyable video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it 👌
Enjoyed watching! You seemed to be going like the clappers at the end! Good effort 👍
@@johnrichardson7785 cheers buddy. I was trying to give it some beans. It’s a really versatile bike the Domane. I’m now ridding the Madone and that’s a rocket ship 🚀
Nice mate! Best thing about them is the space save in the tool kit too!
I’m enjoying them but got to say I do miss the tubeless atm. Will probably go back to it after winter next season. There a lot better feeling than the butyl
@@CyclingwithRuss I have tubeless front but a tube on my rear at the moment after I shredded a tyre. 🥴
How did you do that ? Hope you didn’t come off or out
@@CyclingwithRuss no got lucky mate spotted it straight away and was on the brakes!
Any delivery / import charges? What was the delivery time like? Thanks!
Took about 6 days to arrive and I’ve never had any issues getting things here with Ali express. I’ve ordered tons of them. Maybe I should have included that in the video 🤦🏻♂️
Tubes? Pfft!!" 🤣
🤣🤣 I’ll be going back tubeless mate. Probably next season now.
Hi Russ, I've been using these for over a year now and not one puncture. i love them and they feel so nice to ride on. also, that black sticker is to go over the valve once the tube is fitted as it stops the valve from rattling against the wheel.
That’s great to hear mate. Thank you I’ve been thinking about what it’s for 🙈 I’ll get them fitted now I know.
Just bought some of these as they had a deal on, bought 3 for £9 which I thought was a bargain. Just waiting for my new tyres to arrive. Given me confidence after watching this. Nice one
I have had one puncture since uploading this but it was caused by dirt in the tyre. I’ll talk about it in a future video. I done 100 mile yesterday on them and had zero issues and the roads was terrible.
Hi Russ, I'm running the Ride Now Race Formula (38g) TPU tubes in my 28mm Continental GP5000's and I love them. These tubes come with an aluminium valve as I read about lots of people snapping off the plastic ones. These look like they hold air pressure really well. Hows the diet going?...you look like you have lost some. Good vid mate.
There so fast mate. It’s not gone as well as planned if I’m honest mate because of one thing or another but training is starting later this month and the diet is being sorted this week
What way do u have to go to get there
It’s hard to expliain over here but it’s not to far from Groton
Awesome mate, well done getting round, its absolutely brutal isn't it!!! I didn't get in last year, will be trying again next time!
Mate brutal don’t even come close to describing it. Such a great place though to do the event. I’ll be trying again this year. Failing that I’ll make the donation to get a place
Bloody good video mate keep em coming! Sam peeps state side
More to come! Planning a fitting the time in the day to ride video next
Some very cool kit there, Russ. Really like those prescription glasses. Sweat (and suncream in the summer) in your eyes wearing contacts is a nightmare.
There expensive but so worth it to see and be comfortable. There are cheaper options on the market. I got these as I already had the frames
We need to ride again soon matey and bring the cameras 😀
@@CyclingwithRuss I've been ignoring the road bike for weeks. Need to give it a once over and get back on it. Yeah, lets get a ride in soon 👍📸
Completely agree with the RTL515 varia, feel unsafe when not using it. Absolute game charger
I absolutely love it mate. Best thing out of all the things. I couldn’t be with out it
It connects to wahoo fine gives you side bar with car count also shows you fast approaching
@@neildempsey36 i used it on my wahoo roam. Works perfectly on them 😉
It’s a good job you didn’t have climb pro on the Fred hard Knott would have been all dark red not what you want to see 🤣
I can imagine hard knott was dark purple going on black. I need to ask you a question actually about climb pro. I’ll message you mate
Would love the 1050. I've got a Karoo 2 right now. It works pretty good, but Im considering switching. 1050 is just so expensive. Been looking at comparison videos and how the 1040 has been with the new software. Can you report road hazards like the 1050?
Sorry for the late reply ive been really busy. The 1050 looks awesome but the 1040 is still a great device. Ive got the Beta software from the 1050 on my 1040 and its got all the features from the 1050 except the bell. Yes you can report road hazards and seems to be running really good. Hopefully they'll release it soon to all devices
Bloody hell - I thought I was not bad going downhill but I was crapping mesen watching that , and the road surface ! - I live in France now so roads usually well surfaced - the back roads can be a bit rough , but nowt like that .
It’s a great descent that one. It’s recently been resurfaced so it’s pretty good now. It’ll be nothing though in comparison to what you have in France. I’m desperate to get out there riding some of the big Cols
What is the weight of a Trek Domane AL 5 2024? You have two Trek's on the video so perhaps you know this one too. I cannot seem to find the weight other places.
A size 56 is 9.85kg or 21.72 lb. It would be easy though to get that weight down with the right upgrades. I wouldn’t worry too much about much though about that as it’s probably easier to lose weight off your self
@@CyclingwithRuss Thanks. I already have the bike, but its way heavier than my much cheaper old Fuji bike. So Im still driving the same speed even the Trek is better. I also added some heavier wheels so I can drive on gravel, but I think it is the bike itself that is heavy. Going to the pyrenees next month, so will see how heavy it really is there : )
Picking up my SL 5 Gen 4 on Wednesday- really looking forward to it - coming from a Specialised Allez Sport so I am hoping it will be more comfortable so I can ride longer.
It’s a super comfy bike as long as you’ve got the right size. The trek charts said I should have had a 58 but felt more comfortable on a 56. Enjoy your new bike day 😍
@@CyclingwithRuss thanks Russ - I sat on both the 56 and the 58 and the 58 felt better. The guy I saw the first time suggested 58 and a different guy in the same shop second time suggested the 56 - both just by looking at me. My measurements suggest the 58, but to be fair either would work, but I preferred the fell of the bigger bike.
Great video 😊 It looks like it’s you getting the bike up the hill, not the bike getting you up the hill 😂
It’s a great bike and it can deffo help you climb
@@CyclingwithRuss Thanks for the reply. Just bought myself a Gen4 SL5. It looks lovely. Just got to fit myself to it then take it for a ride 😊
