3:41 why is there no neutral support in the XL race? Not a lot of racers doing that distance?

Spirit of gravel? Refreshing to see the winner on an unbranded bike. Shame the discussion began with tyre and groupset branding and that Seb felt the need to be obtuse about the chainlube. Has Gravel racing capitulated to become the spirit of sponsor seeking through brand obfuscation? …I’d be more interested in hearing from Seb about his full experience of the race, his year of training in the lead up and what it actually takes to win Unbound 350. It’s the rider not the bike that wins.

Men's and Women's XL, as well as women's 200 were won by Germans? Funny coincidence.

I feel like hes bs'ing and had to have had waxed chain

Half of the time in the aerobars!?! And i see Sebastian leaned his lesson from last year! 😂

What brand of shoes is Bottas rocking?

Ya don't risk it for "the" biscuit, you risk it for "a" biscuit. It's a subtle but important distinction.

Great video, what a beast he is! That frame bag looks ideal for my small bike. I saw another white Tailfin frame bag on another video, which was a prototype. Hopefully we'll see this one come to retail!

AEROBARS????? OH THE HORROR. Thank god he's not a real pro gravel rider because those are just wrong. ;)

Did I miss anything or did they not mention the name of the bike? It's a Rose Backroad FF for those who are wondering. It's a German bike brand and the bike has been released just 2-3 months ago. It also won the women's Unbound I think. I used to own the aluminum version of the backroad and I can say it's a class ride and quite affordable at the same time.

Pumping out great content Ben!

Won by 2 seconds?

What a beast!! Way to go Seb!

Neat to see our creation make some waves.

experience writer but first time gravel bike purchaser. Found eight 2020 giant revolt carbon very close to me at at an attractive price. is there anything I'd be seriously missing by not buying a more recent year model?

Living his best life

Does the virtual shifting work on a regular workout (train based on your own plan)?

Can you buy a new bike while you where there?

This is the world we live in right now. On the bringe of collapsing and what do humans care about??? Well, a super-strong, lightweight bicycle. Crazy.

Max tire clearance on the Canyon site is 46 front, 42 rear. If there is no mud. You could ride those tires in 45 on both ends. Rear will be tight or just run 45F, 42R in mud

Just got an email response from Canyon about the pro bars and aero extension and here is what they said: "Unfortunately, Canyon USA is not going to receive a lot of the components and accessories that go with the Gear Groove. The only parts we have right now for the Gear Groove can be found here . I'm sorry about that." So it looks like I'll have to utilize my German friend's address once again...

Yep .... Strange

So can we confirm has it got the wedge at the back of the seat post that was causing all the cracks ?

Good spotting on the 13spd. I would have not picked up on that. Imagine how precise that rear hanger has to be now lol. 12spd is enough of a PITA. IYKYK.

Thanks Ben! Good advice about. It going to hospital filming. Today was my first test and I definitely swerved around trying to see if I’d successfully turned it on. With cycling glasses on I can barely see my phone , let alone a GoPro red light that’s below my k-edge and Garmin 😢

Did you find the large is pretty similar to a tarmac 56? I would ride a 56 tarmac but am right between a m and l and am second guessing myself.

Dylan Johnson ahh bike

This bike just looks sick.

Good content, I appreciate your reviews and opinions on the videos you produce. Haven’t noticed this issue on your other videos, but on this one, the background music is drowning out your speaking.

I think this might be the best application of these carbon-flex forks.

Any mechanical mullet 1X set-up suggestions for a Litespeed Ultimate or Toscano gravel bikes?

Is that rear der' mounted by the wheel axle? If so - how does it work when you take off and replace a wheel? I'd guess there is a sort of bolt/nut type system so the axle coming from the left side threads into a sort of nut which is screwed into the right chainstay. So - when you take out the wheel axle the right side nut thing holding the der' stays in place.

2.0 is 50mm, lol

Good competitor for tri bike??

Do you think it can fit a 2L bladder… or even a 3L bladder? Bigger bladders are typically taller, not wider, so maybe they’d fit, not considering weight.

What power meter will you use now Stages have gone? I have 4iiii but need to see about getting them checked for the Shimano crank recall.

Those Walmart beach cruisers are also wild from the Rodeo Labs guys.

Guy is up selling as pro...

I ride 46t front ring. Its great for almost any hill with a decent size cassette

😅😅😅😅😅 Great informative video! 👍 The end of the video cracked me up laughing... that brrr brrr brrr ... keep up the good work! 😊😎👍

Hi Ben, love your channel! Congratulations on your great result at the 100 mile race! Will there be a recap of the unbound event? I somehow cant find anything in detail on youtube. Cheers

What tyres are those ?

hey guys by the way giant makes most components for others brands so you also have the tech

I'll go with aluminum.

Great video 👍

Listen up hydration jersey makers - put 2-3x magnets on the hose and mouthpiece and oppositely the jersey. If they do, correct me but the hanging hose is a no go.

I knew Bottas rode but didn't know he was this dedicated. Clearly thinking cycling post F1 career. Too cool.

Tilting the brake/shifters cause elbows out and is a heavy downside on aerodynamics….

Nice coverage of Houston's Burro Bikes!

Not sure how I stumbled upon this guy but super glad I did. Very interesting takes on a variety of common sense topics. Keep up the good work Ben.
