Why I Ran Up Snowdon In A Triathlon | ROC Wales 2022 4th Place
it's not a gate gamble is it,you open ,you get off and close.. bikepacking means unpack your arse from the saddle and close the things, there is animals around there and they will escape if not closed properly, if you don't like gates do road cycling.
nice 👍🇲🇦
Great video, also have a Att. Have you upgraded the rear brakes? mine cames with the TRP T922.1 but it is almost.time to change it.
Haven't upgraded them no- but I think the mounting thread is coming out of the frame, so I don't know how long it'll last 😬
Redbull will be knocking any day now
I wonder if they'd do a custom paint job on the lift control panel
Shredding the Gnar 💨
& the bases of my skis on all the rocks 🥲
Out of the three which has the most easy blues ? Tree line runs (blue 3b / 10) at solden look fun. Trying to avoid the scary steep blues.
Solden probably has the most, but the snow is pretty hit and miss towards the bottom of the hill.
✌️ 'promo sm'
I just fitted it. I have 12-34 cassette. Unfortunately cassette is rubbing the disc. Any tips on how to avoid this? apart from fitting a spacer
I'm not sure I can quite picture how the cassette is rubbing- is it on the zip ties?
Another major consideration I can foresee is taking this to my local bike shop, and at the very least them admonishing me for buying direct, and at worst refusing service.
If a bike shop turns down workshop business because of the brand of bike, then they're probably not going to last all that long 🤷
@@willcowen2152 you’re right, and many are not around anymore. Brick and mortar bike shops need to change their business model and approach to sales. I’ve always recommended that bike shops remind every customer before they leave, “ if you find something that really appeals to you online, we can help you pick the size that fits you best and make some customizations to the fit. We don’t carry every line, but we have access to the majority of manufacturers.” So many shops get hung up on their product lines and don’t make the extra effort to get customers what they want. And because the majority of bike shops are selling the same big five brands, they’re losing out on a lot of big dollars from customers looking for something special. Also, the manufacturers and distributors are guilty of setting local bike shops up for limited success. The whole tradition of massive booking orders, and the lack of availability thereafter means shops are stuck with on inventory. The industry is due for an overhaul. Just in time delivery and inventory management needs to be implemented.
Sorry to hear about all the niggles, but glad to see you're still in good spirits. Good luck with the job hunting!
Thanks! Trying to keep the hope going 🤞
Stop it either the rolling! Uncle C

We made it in the vlog 🎉

Love it..good luck with the lifties🙂
Cheers Kev, meant to be 17 degrees next week so just hoping the snow sticks around! 😬
Bus to mountain, cool.
Really enjoying the Canada vlogs!
Cheers Lee 👍
Whats the wildlife like there? Any bears or anything like that, that you have to be worried about?
Plenty of wildlife! There were some cougars spotted in someone's garden nearby a few days ago, and plenty of bears in summer. Only thing we've seen so far though was a raccoon at the running track 🦝
Beautiful scenic route🙂
Just like running around west glebe 😉
It’s been a long time since I commented on your videos and it’s great to see you in a beautiful part of the world. Have only been to Vancouver once and loved it. Stanley Park is popular from what I recall?
Good to hear from you! Yeah, Stanley Park and the seawall are great for running/cycling- we actually went for a walk there yesterday, super quiet mid week.
That one unemployed friend on a Tuesday
😂
Looks epic! Hope you guys enjoy Canada and that your ankle recovers quickly
Thanks mate, just need to stop rolling it and it'll be fine 😅
Congrats guys. Would be interested to know about the process you both had to go through with visas etc. Not very triathlon related but may be interesting 😂. Good luck and look forward to the content.
Ok, will see what I can do for that one. Wasn't sure if anyone would be interested 😅 - at least I know you'll watch it!
@willcowen2152 non triathlon related stuff is just as interesting/entertaining, if not more, than training related content
Ya dude, welcome to the rain!
😂
Whoa! That's huge. Enjoy the new life in Canada!
Thanks!
All the best with your big life change guys. Looking forward to more Canadian videos🙂
Thanks Kev! They have a local parkrun, I'll have to get a video of it 😉
Good luck with the change. Life is for living 👍
Thanks! Agree 👍
What a rollercoaster! So stoked for you guys! (ankle aside) xxxxx
ankle is a blessing in disguise- means I've actually got to focus on getting a job now
wow big change indeed. Good luck both!
Cheers Danny!
Thanks Will x

Can you comment on your carbon frame cause I wonder if in such a size it will emit cracking noises especially since my seat post will be extremely extended to satisfy my 99cm inseam with a prospected 2xl frame Also, is the BB (Token Ninja Lite BB4124) free from creakings noise ? its central thread is supposed to eliminate this.
Seems fine so far- I always seem to have issues with squeaky pedals and shoes though!
Is their bolt system for the seat post fragile ? (risk of CF frame cracking?) because I will often have to remove and replace the seat post to put the whole bike in my hatchback . if so I will go with the aluminum frame model.
If you tighten it to the specified torque, I can't imagine you'd be likely that have any problems with it. Mines been fine so far, but I don't tend to adjust very often.
what bib you reccomend to new rider best for money
Currently I'm wearing the assos mille GT c2 bibs- they're a lot of money, but 100% worth it imho
@@willcowen2152 fit true size ?
My neck of the woods. If you ever fancy a triathlon down that way, check-out challenging events. I'll be at the Swashbuckler Middle next year
Will have a look into that one 👀
TriathlonDan brought me here. The New Forest still remains on my bucket list, maybe I'll pay it a visit next year, this looks like a very great place to ride a bike - and more importing camping. Would what it's like for wild camping? Closest I got was the North/South Downs earlier this year and it was beautiful down there. Enjoyed that Will.
Very relaxing place to ride a bike- no cars is always a treat. We only stayed at campsites, but I'm sure you wouldn't be the first to wild camp there!
best city on the West Coast, eh!
Big fan!
How far back did you place the cleat?
I'm not sure sorry!
🎉 thanks for your support Will
Likewise! Annoyingly had to take the ezdisc off for this course as they weren't allowed- straightforward though and meant I was still using a decent wheel for the race 👍
Needed this. Thank you
No problem!
Have my own race Sunday biggest one yet Toughman Duathlon in NY……
Good luck!
Have a great race and enjoy it
Thanks 👍
Have a great race Will!
Thanks 😁
How many Gs of CHo you trying to hit in Belgium? What did you do on Roth?
Will probabaly be somewhere around 380-400 in Belgium over the bike & run, with 45 before the swim start too. Roth was 560g on the bike and 260ish (can't remember how much I managed to get down on the run- was in a bit of a state)
One learning from using the CGM - don’t try flatten the line, let your pancreas do it’s thing, waves are normal 😊
Will keep that in mind!
"Welcome back to another WILLdeo." It's WILLDEO. :D

My favourite hill, I get a pass here every season. Same family that started it in '73 runs it today!
Wow, that now makes sense why it feels like the complete opposite of a big corporate resort.
Awesome vid :D Did you use the 'Find your size' feature where you put in your height and inner leg height for the frame size? It seems like I should be on a bike 2 sizes smaller :/
Yeah I did, I think it normally comes up one size smaller than what other brands/models would usually be. I think the best thing to do is check stack/reach of the frame Vs your current bike.
I just received the Canyon Endurace 8 with the 105 groupset and the front derailleur does nothing. Rear is shifting great. I dont exactly know what I’m doing when it comes to adjusting the gears, but I got it so it shifts, but not like the rear. With your problem too, they must not check these before there shipped. It would only take a few seconds. Amazing
When the rest of the bike seems to be well assembled, it is a bit odd!
What size is that? I just ordered one.
This one's a size large 👍
Bike looks crisp. Good job
Thanks 👍
Excellent. Loved the bird content.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the ornithological twist, amazing how much more you can appreciate with a set of binoculars!
