I’ll take it the way it is. Doesn’t have to be any lighter. Weight is Similar to my Scale. But… chainring…. Only 34T? Can you confirm?

Aluminum does corrode in a form of bubble/Patches But reliable Carbon Overrated Piece of Crap

The fist and most important factor is how much can you ride.....success requires a massive base.........not for the weekend warrior.

@youtube this is so old to show up on a feed. Show me the 2025 sl8 maybe 🤷🏼‍♂️

I have RC7, the rubberized BOA dial is quite bad, you can never turn the dial when your hand get sweaty, stay away from that surely.

Love this video. So much information, and knowledge 🎉

very good interview about the race... ive done 4 and still taking tips

By reducing the upper air pressure, less than recommeneded, and relying more on the damper, as a rep from Öhlins told me - "That's the magic." :)

My bike does't have number 😮

I think I’ve watched every video on Leadville on CZcams… Lol 100%. This was the most insightful great job!

Silver Rush this weekend! Maybe see you there Bruce!

I want basic bikes back ! Give me friction shifters

A ton of good info, I'll see you at silver rush and at leadville 🤙

This is amazing insight. Good luck on Leadville 100, you will do awesome. You have a solid base to build from.

The start and first 25 mi were the roughest for me! Everybody goes out ridiculously fast. I was trying to Pace for a buckle, but also to do the run a week later. That was in 2009...Equipment is a lot better these days.

I really like mosaic bikes and love the old school styles but I REALLY like my electronic shifting and not crazy about the exposed cables… 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think you bike people are something else but hey I don't even know what a gravel bike is.... Looks like a cool bike and also $5000

The ‘top up’ drip wax just straight up doesn’t work. Rolls straight over the remaining wax on your chain and the vast majority ends up on the floor. Save your money and just re wax.

More like clench‘s ridge

Dropper is a must after riding mtb for a while and picking up my gravel

This is a smoking good company can’t go wrong with the quality product they put out

That’s what I ride

Cool drop bar with a MTB attitude.. Love it..!!

Deathwish

“Gravtron” id ride it just for the name

The number of people involved in prepping that bike is mind blowing?!? There is no evidence that suggests a 12-speed chain cant work on an 11-speed drivetrain, the otherway round for sure. Slapping on cheap cork bar-tape on an sworks is a travesty - where is the supacaz? Lastly your tech should have identified that running 38c gravel tires on a set of Roval CLX deep section wheels is a serious conflict of interest, thats not OEM at all.

Great lunch! 🔥🤙👍

great video, i have been following from the beginning. anyone that rides unbound is a success in my opinion. i will say i don't understand the 8" sock height (i just noticed it in your footage for some reason). keep the videos coming, thanks.

Can I just use allen keys for this?

If i were to wash my bike like a pro, it would be filthy because i highly doubt pros wash their bikes

Awesome vid, thanks

Why is your rear brake activated by the left lever....that's an English configuration.

it took 8 years Sram to catch Shimano.

Jonh Tomac is a real true legend !!! He made it so easy ... and the inventor of actual "gravel" :D

R u ok?

Is it possible to fix/patch a hole in the rim tape without replacing or taping over the whole tape?

❤ my 2016 GT PRO series 2 Aluminum frame w/carbon forks. Dura-Ace group set. Shimano 105 rim brakes. RITCHEY WCS full carbon seat post and a Selle Italia saddle . RITCHEY WCS Handlebar stem. Mavic rims wrapped in specialized TURBO tires. LOOK full carbon KETO Peter Sagan clip in pedals.

How about a comparison for those of us who can’t/won’t pay for the top tier groupset? Ultegra vs Force and Rival vs 105. SRAM Red advantages came down to lever shape and braking. How much have these trickled down to date? My understanding of the difference between Dura Ace and Ultegra is that it’s mostly materials/weight. Performance is very similar. I’m still ok with my choice of Ultegra over Force. My one reservation would be the “semi” in Semi-wireless. I had one wire come loose from the battery during transportation.

I personally prefer a 2x setup. As someone who only has one bike and does a much of road and light gravel the ability to quickly drop to a significantly lower gear is super nice especially on longer rides I have test ridden a couple of 1x setups and think that can be and in many cases are great just personallyb prefer my 2x setup.

This is the smoothest best video of rear wheel installation. Thank you sir. 👍

My bleed nipples just leak all the fluid out when I brake after bleeding. Exact same issue in both front and rear. Very frustrating. Yes of course I tightened the nut again. (XT)

Best video on this topic, great explanation. Thank you!!!

Very well explained! I understood the whole concept. Thanks for making this awesome video!

I dont know. Weight seems to matter at a certain point. I went from dailying a 1970s iverson then went to a giant ocr c3. I have never felt more of a difference in my life.

All ebikes will fall and these beauties will still run❤

Large pulleys are, ummm, just not needed.

proscloset promoting what they have in stock? the used items people want to sell? are people keeping vpp and not selling them via proscloset?

Oh, it’s the pros closet that site that charges exorbitant amounts for used bikes and now they have a CZcams channel.. fun

Love this guy energy!

Awesome video and awesome work out there! I was out on the course another 5 hours, I am old and slow. Interesting to hear you having some of the same experiences and thoughts at some of the same points - you have given me some ideas for hopefully taking a few more hours of my time next year.
