Asics gel nimbus 25 VS Nike Invincible run 3 | Which is the best running shoe?
zhlédnutí 666Před rokem
Nike Invincible 3 or Asics Gel Nimbus 25? These shoes definitely both have their ups and downs but the Nike Invincible 3 just isn't quite as good as the Asics Gel Nimbus 25 in my opinion... but that being said, it completely depends on foot shape! Might be worth giving both the Asics Gel Nimbus 25 and the Nike Invincible 3 a go to see for yourself...good luck!

Wait you are saying that yellow king are softer than black prince? I think this is wrong...
Hi Robin, I just got it but despite reading the manual, the light mode is a bit confusing to me. What's the difference between Light mode Individual and Auto? While experimenting a bit the settings seems to change a bit randomly here, I had it on auto and when I went back to the widget it suddenly was on Trial.
Hi Robin! Very useful, thanks for the video!
but Swisstop says YellowKing has higher longevity ... black king lasted 3000km on a front (I do around 1000m elevation for 50-60km distance)
Thank you for this. The pads that came with my Chinese carbon wheels are horrible. My pads might as well be made of cardboard right now.
Did you ever had brake rub ?
When installing the first bearing, do you need to put the axle through it? Or can you just press it in with a bearing press without the axle ? Thanks for your help
Thanks for the review, very helpful. Off topic: Nice kit with the Orange, white and blue! (I'm Dutch, so Orange is always nice)
Hi, thanks for the review. My garmin RTL-515 has given up the ghost. I always had it connected with my bluetooth earpods for alerts. Does the magene have this feature? Its a deal breaker if it doesn't.
How do you create a custom plan with polarized phases? It seems that you can only add polarized phases (base/build/...) to your calendar, or am I wrong? Great video btw :)
For you which is the better??
Nice content bro
Do you ever find that it sometimes doesn’t detect somecars if there are multiple cars approaching?
Thanks Robin. I stop cycling in september outdoor in the UK. Hate wet weather cycling. I found this stuff great in the dry. I used White lighting clear ride before this which was far worse. It lasted about 80 km. Had to redo after every ride. This does last much longer as well. White lighting purple for the winter time is great stuff!
Does this radar also detects scooters or other cyclists coming from behind? Or just bigger vehicles?
Got my bodyglide order today. I got the blue, pink, and outdoor version. Excited to try it.
From brand new, how often or after how many miles/ kms would you likely be servicing Giant hydraulic brakes? I have Tektro HD-R280 brakes on my bike. Are they "Conduct" type brakes that everyone says suck in the comments here?
I waxed my chain. Though I find it noisy compared to lube. The cleanliness is great
Your DT Swiss wheels would have been faster in 99% of situations with their significant aero advantage over the prime wheels. It would trump the weight every time
Also has a brake light function super impressed with mine
I think garmin varia can send alerts via Bluetooth, so that the alerts can play on earphones. Does magene have this feature?
Great review and comparison. I decided on the Jawbreaker myself. One feature I think you failed to mention about the Jawbreakers is the removeable lense. I bought the Prizm Road and picked up a low light lense and they're very easy to switch in and out. My favorite part about these glasses! Cheers!
I have both and the flight jacket is also easy to remove. Just push out the corner near the nose piece going out.
You should have tried running with both with same distance and same route and see which is faster . Bouncier and the feeling of better propulsion of alpha fly 1 makes it better shoe for me plus it.s lighter?. Thanks for your review!
What wheels you use?
DT Swiss 1400 62mm
25 minutes to show me fuck all
Hey Robin, Is the magene mount working well with the Garmin Radar?
They don't work together, although they will fit each other they are 1/4 turn rotated from each other. So if you used them interchangeably the light would be sticking out to one side on the other brands mount
You can mix was flakes+little PTFE with Shellite/Naphtha in a bottle and use it like Squirt lube. Instructions is on latest OZ cycle video! One of the best drip lubes ever?
You had me at USB-C. Thanks for that. Micro USB can go die in a ditch. I refuse to buy any electronic devices in 2023 with Micro USB.
Yeah, It's a lot nicer to just have USBC cables. I can't see any reason why manufacturers wouldn't put it on their products
Ciao sono Andrea da Milano. Ottimo video ben spiegato e molto utile. In base al test tra le 2 scarpe ed in base al tuo gusto personale, Ho bisogno di un tuo consiglio. Devo comprare assolutamente un paio di scarpe per i lenti (lunghi&rigeneranti) in preparazione Maratona. I miei lenti sono sui 5'10 al km ...aiutami sono indeciso se buttarmi sulle invicible run 3, oppure sulle Nimbus 25...grazie in anticipo per la risposta.
I know this is very late but I completely recommend the ASICS gel nimbus 25 or the new balance 1080 v13 bc they are both super protective and have high stack heights and have enough energy return to not tire you out (the NB 1080v13 is bouncier than the ASICS gel nimbus 25 but they’re both still not considered the bounciest shoes)
ah crap, looks like i had no idea what i got myself into... thanks man! 😅
Yeah it's a bit of a nightmare. If you can afford it I'd just stick some 105/ultegra parts on instead
IF YOU THINK ABOUT BUYING A BIKE WITH CONDUCT SYSTEM.. THINK AGAIN!!!! PLEASE DON'T BUY IT!!! IT WILL PUT YOUR LIFE IN RISK. YOU WILL REGRET IT. YOU WILL LOOSE MONEY AND JOY OF CYCLING. IT'S A SCAM TO RIP PEOPLE OFF THE MONEY.. BUY TREK OR SOMETHING ELSE..
I don't see why giant thought it was a good idea except to save themselves some 💰💰
Do you know if the Tektro HD-R280 brakes are a Conduct system? Those are the brakes on my new Giant.
finaly someone who explain clearly the difference between black and yellow SwissStop pads, thx!
We only have liquid fructose available here in our country. Should I put the same amount (in grams) of the fructose even if it's liquid?
You'll need to look at the packet and see how many G of fructose per G of product you have. From there you can put in the correct amount
I love the 1 and hate the 2. I'm way slower in the v2 at the same heart rate. While it was really easy to lock into that fast forefootstrike pace in the v1, the 2 is a shoe that almost wants to make you heel strike. Nike did this on purpose so that all the heelstrikers out there could wear an alphafly shoe as well and they could sell more. It came at the cost of performance however. There'd be nothing wrong with the 2 if it were an additional version. It is however a replacement - and that is a mistake.
Does the LIGHT WEIGHT black edition rim brake VERSION come with ceramic speed bearings like the DISC black edition BRAKE VERSION DOES?
thanks, good video
Bought a used carbon wheels. It didnt have any signs of wear. I got a black prince but its too noisy. Is this more silent?
Are the pads toed-in?
@@russellbaker4256 i toed in afterwards. went quiet. but the pads wear out faster than regular pads. how much toe in should it be? i did like 2mm off the back of the pads.
@@russellbaker4256 yes. i over toed in. sold the wheelset. got an alloy surface carbon cosmic sl. no more issues
One thing that changed my waxing (for the better) Is one of those "plug in thermostats" (£15 on amazon) Basically it controls any plug in device via temperature which it reads from a probe. So I can just throw the chain on top of the wax, set the maximum temperature and turn it on, no need to "pot watch" just come back in an hour or so and the wax and chain will be at temperature, swish until I see no bubbles, let it cool, swish again and remove. Note: I also use a countdown timer switch that I set for 2 hours, so if forget or whatever it will just switch itself off.
Can’t wait for the review
No days off
Giga chad ^
Got a question. I am about to try Squirt on my new chain. What do i do though when i decide to switch back to oul lube? Do i just degrease my chain, cassette, crankset? I asked someone and he said boil the chain, which i find ridiculous.
pouring boiling water over the chain will remove squirt. Going back to oil, you can pretty much just go back without doing anything. it's more the oil to squirt that's important
Nice shoes
Go tri do some super short triathlons to get started also 👌
Good shout 🙌
Do you have an update about your progress? 🙂
I'm working on an update video. Sorry for the gap in the series
Do you recommend a specific website/brand for purchasing a tri suit??
I'll be racing in Kalas's new Tri suit. It's just been tested with great aero results - www.kalas.co.uk/
Normally rotor chainrings work pretty good with 12 speed.
Yeah I believe they've just come out with 12 speed chainrings
I have 3 pairs of them. Since Oakley discontinued making them, unless it’s a custom, it’s a nice deal if you can even find them. They don’t fog up at all using them during training sessions. I do most of my training outdoors. It’s the pair to use when it’s hot and humid and it’s always humid down here in Hawaii.
I’ve just started track running and sometimes get stomach cramps. What should I eat before track and how long should I leave it? Same for swimming actually!
I find it's best to finish eating a minimum of an hour before training. If the intensity is higher then aim for an hour and a half. Try eating something fairly light or a smaller portion. You're going to want to get some slow release carbs in before the session like pasta, oats/porridge, eggs or a bagel/toast. Worse case a gel and a banana should do the trick
Great stuff!
Very useful. Thank you.
