Exploring mountain biking trails in Finland.
Exploring West Bank Trails in Tikkakoski
I traveled to Tikkakoski to explore the west bank mountain biking trails.
I found smooth and fast trails without any technical sections. There were wide ski tracks, narrow single tracks and also come duckboards.

New cycling season is here. I did not film or even ride during the winter. We had a proper winter with plenty of snow, so I took the opportunity to go snowboarding. Subscribe for more: czcams.com/users/TommiKivimäki

Cannondale CaadX Review
zhlédnutí 39KPřed 6 lety
I have ridden my old cross bike everywhere and in every weather. I have experienced a lot with it. It became a day when I decided to ride a modern cross bike. This is my review of CaadX 105. I have ridden the Cannondale on road, trails, and yes on snow. I have spent many hours with this bike and this whole adventure started with the first ride. I had heard good things about Cannondale cross bik...
Belgium vs Finland Cycling Culture Comparison

European Union invited me to visit Brussels. So I was in Belgium. Now a really wanted to see a local cyclocross race, but that wasn't on the agenda. It was my first time in Brussels and I made some observations about the cycling culture. I noticed that locals used bikes for commuting even if the weather was not so great. Here is a commuting culture comparison between Brussels and Finland. Stree...
Pause in the Rain, Mountain Biking in Salpausselkä Lahti
zhlédnutí 618Před 6 lety
This was my first time riding in Salpausselkä. The place is known for steep uphills and downhills, so I knew from the start that this would require a lot of energy it would be a tough ride. I just didn't know how tough this would get. That's the nature of mountain biking adventures. I didn't like the rain. It was so cold, but I just kept riding to explore more trails.

Why should I go mountain biking in Kilpisjärvi?
zhlédnutí 585Před 6 lety
I had one of the best mountain biking seasons I have ever had and now I want to make some kind of summary of different places where I have visited. First off Kilpisjärvi. Why you should go there or at least why I want to go there again? The place has some magic. It's different than the rest of the Lapland and it's also not a Norway. The place has a character of it's own and I find it very fasci...
Waffle Energy, Mountain Biking in Laukaa and Kuusa
zhlédnutí 427Před 6 lety
I started my mountain biking ride from Peurunka and I had a plan to ride towards Kuusa. The ride included almost everything from dry and hard packed terrain to soft mud and gravel roads. I partly followed Metsoreitti, which is a nice route in Central Finland. There are many huts alongside the route and this time I was prepared to make a fire and enjoy a short break.

Laukaa Tour, Mountain Biking in Laukaa
zhlédnutí 543Před 6 lety
I rode around Laukaa to search new mountain biking trails. I found fast and dry single tracks and some wider trails. I also found huts with fireplaces. This area is great for doing long all day rides, since the huts make it really easy to prepare some food and then continue my adventure. Subscribe for more: czcams.com/users/TommiKivimäki
Should I turn around? Mountain Biking from Nuijalammi to Koukku
zhlédnutí 798Před 6 lety
My mountain biking adventure took me from Hirvisuontie to Nuijalammi and from there I continued to Kivikesku and Koukkujärvi. It was all easy cruising on a gravel road to Nuijalammi. The real adventure started when I was looking for a trail to Kivikesku. Subscribe for more: czcams.com/users/TommiKivimäki

How to install tow bar to kid's bike
zhlédnutí 161KPřed 6 lety
This is the way I would always like to ride. But to be honest if I would do only rides like that - I would ride much less than I do today. That's exactly the reason why this Thule Chariot one of the best cycling accessories I have ever got. But it is not good for every situation. And that's why I was looking for something else until I found this. This is a tube that connects my bike to kids bik...
Thule ProRide 598 Bike Rack Review
zhlédnutí 35KPřed 7 lety
2500 kilometers or even close to 3000 kilometers. I drove from Nokia to Kilpisjärvi then to Tromsso, then Lyngseidet and back to Nokia. So I have gained a lot of experience how these ProRides work in a short amount of time. Overall I'm very happy about this bike rack. Bikes are easy to load and unload. The arm has a large cushion to protect the frame and it works well with the downtube of my bi...
Lyngseidet Experiment, Mountain Biking in Norway
zhlédnutí 798Před 7 lety
This was a big question mark for me. I didn't know what I would find. I didn't know what I should expect. Every ride start with a huge climb here. There's just no other way than to go up a hill. I started my ride next to a cemetary and I arrived at the gate. Climbing was hard. Even harder than I expected because ground was soft and wet. I was riding so slow, but on the other hand that was also ...
Redefining Rock Garden, Mountain Biking in Kilpisjärvi
zhlédnutí 1,7KPřed 7 lety
We were on our way to Kilpisjärvi. It's a small village of only 100 people in the most remote corner of the Lapland. We settled up into our cabin and I started to get ready for the adventure. My plan was to experience the nightless night when the sun doesn't set below the horizon. It was 11 pm. I found a trail that seemed to take me to the direction I wanted to go. But soon after I realized tha...

Do you ever have a shaking bike at high speeds? Went in the highway today at around 65 miles and the bike was CRAZY shaking
I haven't noticed any shaking with my bike. I have mostly driven 55 mph because of the roads, but I have done 65 mph too.
Thanks! Tightened some screws today, it seems like the two which attach the metal cross bar were not 100% torqued to the max.
Where did you buy that parts?
Unfortunately I don't remember where I bought it. It was some online shop in UK.
you have wonderful country there, greetings from Poland
Thank you!
This thing is crap. Yes sure, a kids bike gets scratches anyway. But this thing damages the bike by simply using it.
Do you leave the cycle racks mounted on the roof rack ready for your next ride or do you remove each time?
They were always on the roof. It was then easy to go for a ride.
Do you remember what sort of screws you bought? Thanks
Unfortunately I don't remember the exact type of the screws. The salesperson knew what kind of screws were needed for original BMW roof racks
That was helpful thanks. Elite don't give any details on how to use their app, which makes it really difficult. Then you get their rapid snappy videos with music for equipment that I don't have, which is also not helpful. I want an old fashioned slow video like this that goes step by step through all the features.
"There were two deciding factors. If the bike is on the roof I have a clear access to the trunk. If the weather is bad bike behind a car will collect all the possible dirt. " - that's a good insight. I think it depends on the rack and the car (sedan vs hatchback/wagon/SUV). There are some rear racks that dont use the tow ball, and thus follow the car shape on the back, and also the bikes become closer to the car, some even tilt foward depending on the car shape, avoiding most of the dirt. I can understand nordic countries like Finland, with rainy/snowy weather conditions throughout the year, will create a lot of dirt. But what is strange to me is that I see many more bikes mounted on the rooftop than on the rear, in Portugal, compared to Denmark or Sweden, where I see more rear mounted. Probably because most cars in nordic countries are sold with tow ball. In Portugal it is frequentely an optional, maybe because in Portugal you need an extra driving license set to drive with any type of trailer. I think you do not need that in Denmark or Sweden. I can understand that with a rear rack on a tow ball, it might be difficult to reach stuff on the trunk, although not impossible. On non-tow ball rear racks, probably you cannot access/open the trunk with the bikes on the rack on a sedan/berlina (4door), but you can on a hatchback/wagon/SUV (5door).
thx
Cheap? Yes. Holds bikes? Yes
Milloin uutta videota
This is so messed up. I bought this just to find out you need special aluminum roof racks to mount it. Would have been nice if ANYONE explained this in the store or online. >.<
Thank you! I wanted to know if I can swap the orientation and I should be able to!
nice job thanks
Thanks!
I have a tip, save yourself some money and make it out of a large plastic soda bottle or a plastic folder and you can customize it your way.
Great bike holder
Fits on our sedan
Can the Thule bike rack be installed on a factory roof rack? (Subaru)
How did you manage to get both front bases mounted evenly on the rack? On my racks the bases are unevenly mounted, I got them used but can figure out what im doing wrong
I think I just rotated the other rack, but the bases were evenly mounted already. I cannot remember if there were any backward/forward adjustment.
teitkö siis itse vai löytyi suoraan valmiina ostettavaksi bmw:n kiskoihin nuo pultit?
Varaosaliikkeestä löytyi sopivat pultit, mutta olivat muistaakseni tilaustavaraa.
Thank you for the video! I'm about to buy one, do you think it would mount on a 2 inches (5 cm) steering head on the small bike side?
Thanks for the instruction on how to setup the left-handed rack. The pictograms in the instruction manual are worse than useless! If they would just put written instructions in Swedish- at least I could use Google Translate and translate it. The absence of any explanation is INFURIATING!
I want to buy this bike too! My height is 5’10 (1.78m).. do you think 56 frame size just like yours would fit me the best?
I'm 1.82m and it feels really good for me. Not too large at all, but not small either.
On the Internet there are always reports that the claw had come loose during the car ride. To follow up on these worrying events, I noticed after countless videos and forum posts that quite a few users do not follow the instructions correctly. Like here in the video, the torque was not observed correctly. One must absolutely turn to the torque limiter (loud click) that the claw is 100% correctly locked! If you happen to find other video with incorrectly presented application, share it necessarily.
Mihin on Tommi kadonnut?
Good review. Where did you get the T bar screw to replace the Thule T bar screw? I have also OEM BMW roof cross bar. Thanks
Thanks! I got the T bar screws from the dealer who sold the bike rack. If I remember correctly the screws were Thule's accessory.
@ ,Thanks!
I like your video
Thank you
om bambang cikarang is here to watch your exciting video my friend...stay healthy. ❤️
Very clear, thank you for taking the time.
Great video thanks. Could you comment on how easy, or how practical it would be to continuously add and remove the bike rack from the roof bars? My garage door is low and I'm wondering if this is a practical solution? PS: I do realise the bike rack folds flat, but approx 18cm high roof bars and approx 18cm high bike rack is just too much! Thanks.
Uutta odotellessa!
The picture you use as the preview is misleading and wastes peoples time.

Holy crap that was painful to watch lol
beautiful place how I wish I can visit new friend here see u
Ostin samanlaisen telineen mutta en käytä Bemarin omia vaan tulee Thulen Wingbareihin,nekin uudet. Niissä on samanlainen kumisuoja urassa.Käsitin et se otetaan kokonaan pois jos laittaa esim juurikin nuo T-kiinnitykset mut sä pätkit sen ja laitoit takas sen muualle kun kiinnityskohtaan,ymmärsinkö nyt oikein?
Joo, otin kumisuojasta vain palat pois pyörätelineitä varten. Sillä ei taida olla sen isompaa merkitystä ovatko ne paikoillaan vai ei.
Hello and thank you for the great video! But could you please specify, on 5:18, did you say "and comfortable" or "uncomfortable" ? :D
How did you thoughts the bolt that keep the bar away to touch your rear wheel?
Hi, can I ask why you reversed the mechanism on the second carrier? Why not just have one facing backwards which helps with the handlebars not clashing?
I was carrying only 2 bikes, so I had enough room for handle bars. If I had 3 bikes to travel with facing one bike backwards would help a lot. 👍🏻
lol why the hell did u put those two zip ties in the top
Word of warning don't leave your bikes unattended on these racks. They have a massive design flaw that allows your bike to be stolen in less than 5 seconds.
Is there a video of this design flaw?
Screw google's crappy algorithm for sending me this video
My advice is, watch this video. I recently purchased an Elite Suito cycle trainer; taking it out of the box was simple but setting it up to work was not. This Ant+ video is helpful; it confirmed by own troubles and that I wasn't just me. I am very disappointed with Elite who reminded me of Garmin several years ago who also used Ant+ to operate their products and thankfully, Garmin listened to its customers and removed a need for Ant+ but sadly, not Elite who today remain very much behind the times. Tommi, Thank you for taking the time share - appreciated.
Where did you buy these from! Is there a link?
Buy ford everest
I'm amazed you got the app to work. My Elite Nero will not connect with the app through Bluetooth - the universal opinion of it in the reviews is that it is garbage
I recomend to go to jüri what is next to tallinn its not a trail but people use i as one its in the tiny forest in the middle of jüri i ride there daily and know some good spots
Sorry you said 3 people can travel? where is the 3rd sitting I'm confused
