I commuted in the rain with 32mm tires today and I was nervous af. They're best in dry weather for fast runs but in wet weather? Nope.

Thank you for such a great content.

I use the Exposure and a Brightside helmet light and Topeak frame light used for helmet to ! Tubeless Schwalbe all the way ! Reflecting stickers on rims ! Topeak tool bag on saddle and ride with 10 litre Osprey backpack with protector ,locks gold standard hiplok and Kryptonite d lock with cable for dropper post and seat Ergon ! And disk lock alarm ! My ebike $12,000 ! I pre pack every night take all with me ! Maintain all myself !

Ebike commute !

Fantastic idea! 👍

Yes, unfortunately people at the customs hate to work. Lazy as f.

So to wrap it up you need to change half of things in this bike to make it usable... 🫣

What is the best money can buy?

32 miles (51 km) for me. No shower at work and they’ve been downsizing the office and stuffing us into tighter and tighter spaces. Car parking $ has increased exponentially over the last few years, and if I take the bus, the nearest bus stop is 13 miles away and I’d have to drive there.

Have you heard of Bub-up from Rainjoy? :) For commuting it is great.

i mean ..it is advertised that you can leave your phone and go outside...can it search the location where it was lost.

Is the one available in AliExpress real?

I'm a fairly casual rider but like to go fast easily around town, the neighborhood, local parks etc and want to be very comfortable too. My budget is about $500 but flexible. I am 64 woman and using for fun and fitness. What do you recommend?

Hello! What can you say about the GREEN MARATHON tire (Schwalbe) and the Continental Double Fighter III? Is there information on them?

I like the poncho 😮 I used too wear weather proof pants and jacket, I used too work half a hour away so it wasn't too bad I always used too arrive Dry even when it was pouring down I might look around for a decent Poncho, Just started Bike commuting again I'm only 15 min away 😮

i am sold on GP5

That is so cool.

$80 grips, waaaaaaat, how long will they last?

I think the current research suggests that reflectives on moving parts (wheels, feet, pedals) have a greater effect than vests and jackets. I think that reflective slap bracelet is probably more effective than you give it credit for.

Hi. I couldn't agree more about the alarm. I have mine for 5 days and it's very annoing. I thought that adjusting the volume in the settings would fix it, but the noise is still there. Such a shame for a great watch.

My favorite was a Raleigh C50. I shortened the chain stays and installed a different fork(shorter and less rake) with drop bars, eventually it got Sachs ergo power shifters and Shimano drive train. So it now has good cyclo cross geometry . Had a torch at the bicycle shop i woked at . Cool now it's a cyclo cross bike with a sloping top tube that's easy to get on and off. Gee why didn't anyone think of that sooner. Anyway nothing like commuting on tubulars (the cyclo cross type with the center worn smooth) daily and being able to go off raod at the flick of the wrist with confidence . Still have it.

Ask why do you love cycling/ commuting with bike

I like how everyone pitches in on the comments with bicycle videos

I am using 32 and the speed is good but comfort not so much, am thinking of moving up to 38mm because even on roads, you often have potholes, cobblestones, weirdly paved bike lanes, where the stones aren't level but are all aligned which leads to wobbling.

Great content, thanks!

My bar end broke during raod and kicked me out of bicycle and almost killed me. THANK YOU GP3 stay away

Thanks for a quality review! I will get this Moloko handlebars for my touring e-bike when I ride to Norway. Must be super strong since it is built from cro-molibden and can support 10+ kg without breaking. It will have enough room even for my Garmin 67i GPS.

I bought it today but have no idea how to set the time ... what is about zone tie??? can you help me?

I had my Marathon Plus tires for 3 years and I ride approximately 150kms a week.

i'm considering buying this grip but i'm not sure about sizing, is the difference between the small and large the length of the grip or the girth? and would you say kids use small and adults use large? or any adult male should be using large and adult female and kids pick small?

People commuting on a fixie left the chat

Bought these for my MTB to turn it into hybrid/tour bike since the knobby MTB tires are noticeably slower on asphalt/tarmac. It all depends where you mostly cycle. If let's say your cycling happens 70% on pavement and 30% on MTB/forest trails, just get these continental tour ride tires or similiar touring tires (you will still be able to ride on trails with these just in slightly slower pace with less grip). If you are doing bikepacking style cycling on MTB with backpack/panniers you won't go fast on trails anyway on your MTB since the weight slows you down thus the knobby tires are kind of useless for that purpose. However if your goal is to enjoy trails and go fast on trails on MTB bike then definitely get knobby tires because the grip makes huge difference.

What about "bull horn" handlebars?

Take a piece of 50 mm yellow reflective ~ 75 mm long tape and stick on the rim at one spot...

What's the ideal group set for a good commuter bike. Also, can you get decent quality components for a bike around 500? What brands would you recommend. I've recently moved to Italy. There are a lot of local brands from 200E to over 1000E. I am not familiar with these brands. The more bike shops I visit the more confused I get. Any suggestions?

In my experience if you want to get multiple punctures every month, go for Continental.

Are you driving a bike or a lamp post?

Strava is not working still I tried everything but nothing works 😢😢😢😢

Thank you for the detailed description on each item; I really needed it. 👍

They are better in the wet than the marathon plus

It’s a $20 backpack for $200! Does it come with AC? No thanks!

mine also cracked after just a couple of months, that is something that shouldn't happen that soon imo, my michelins never showed any cracking

Hi, How can I check data of laps????

I hang my bike on the wall using a French cleat: get a large "L" bracket from the hardware store (I got one cheap at Harbor Freight). Screw it to a piece of 1"x4" the length of the bracket. To the back of the 1"x4" at the top, screw a piece of 3/4" plywood cut to the width of the 1"x4" and about 3" long with a 45 degree bevel at the bottom. The point of the bevel should be away from the 1"x4". At the bottom of the 1"x4", attach a small piece of 3/4" plywood. This will act as a spacer so your bracket/hook will lay flat against the wall. Choose the wall where you want to hang your bike. At a point higher on the wall than your bike is tall, securely attach to studs a strip of 3/4" plywood long enough to span several studs. Cut a 45 degree bevel at the top of this strip. Make sure the point of the bevel is away from the wall. Hook the bevel on your bracket onto the bevel on the wall. The two 45 degree angles correspond to each other to make a very strong way to hang the large "L" bracket. Hang your bike by its front wheel on the bracket. You can hang your bike securely taking up minimal space on the wall and in the room. My bike hangs this way behind a door in a room in the basement. It is a perfect way to hang my bike each day after my ride.

thanks for this honest review

As I think I mention on your other video, my favorite is Continental RideTour, but I think you have a point that if your roads are decent, you doesn't need the extra puncture protection on marathon plus.

Get a camera! I use Cycliq because of the long run time, approximately 7 hours. Also, there are a few companies that offer bicycle insurance. Very handy if you're in a no-fault accident. I have my Trek insured through Velosurance, and I've been really happy with them. Another tip is to get a GPS tracker in case of theft.

Helmet?

Excellent looking product! I'd already been trying to come up with an easy way to carry my backpack on the rack, and this is the perfect solution.

The most important thing is to take more time to commute than you think yuo need it. At least 20min more. It gets you safer because you are not rushing and you can ride comfortably and reasonably dangerous. If you are to have a puncture, you would still get there on time.
