    IKR those Conti's are such good race tyres. i have ridden the same pair of them for 2 years now and they have done Europe twice and I've never had a puncture! i could use them for DH mountain biking

    Nice video mate love it

  • @dragoon5444
    @dragoon5444 Před 8 lety

    Great video as always mate. You said in the video that you have 11-28 at the back, but I'd like to know what's up front 52/36? thanks

  • @kevinalexander8419
    @kevinalexander8419 Před 8 lety

    Hi Mark, I just wanted to drop a wee comment to say thanks for the review of your Oltre, I was unfortunate enough to have my bianchi nirone 7, with garmin vector, campag carbon wheels and 3t aeronova handlebars being stolen and with your review I decided to take the insurance money and get a good deal on a XR1 Celeste.

  • @stevenfoleyuk9404
    @stevenfoleyuk9404 Před 7 lety

    This oltre xr 2 is my dream bike . Would you say that the Celeste is the best colour?

  • @jbee1263
    @jbee1263 Před 8 lety

    Thanks mate for the videos, watch them regularly. Had a quick inquiry about the wheels. I know you said your not a big gear guy, but... any issues with the 6.7s in crits? I'm not really even sure what I mean by issues, but. I guess you dig them, yea? I was being nudged by some locals to get the 4.5s for crits and daily training. The fact that you have the 6.7s though and seem to get along just fine on them is of interest. Thoughts?

  • @senadzenkovic2483
    @senadzenkovic2483 Před 8 lety +2

    Mark, did moving your saddle forward help with the knee pain? I have recently started to experience quite a bit of knee pain and am thinking of moving my saddle forward to see of it helps. How far did you move yours?

  • @user-sn1oh8yl6u
    @user-sn1oh8yl6u Před 8 lety

    what happens when u get dropped? do you just head home or do you finish the ride, just way behind everybody?

  • @MarxOutThere
    @MarxOutThere Před 8 lety

    How come you rode back from the bunch ride using the shared path?

  • @benjaminwolf9801
    @benjaminwolf9801 Před 8 lety +1

    Bianchi is amazing. I have to ask, what does it weigh?

  • @bikeswithmike164
    @bikeswithmike164 Před 8 lety +1

    Nice bianchi love the colour

  • @MrAndrew1953
    @MrAndrew1953 Před 8 lety

    Any reason you didn't choose a Bianchi Infinito disc brake model? I prefer it as the discs are better in the wet and the frame is more compliant.

  • @bonn1771
    @bonn1771 Před 8 lety

    great review of the bike! and sweet set up enjoy it! keep the rubber side down

  • @MatchuCT

    Hey Mark, whats the spray you use to clean your bike? Is it bike specific?

  • @melbman43
    @melbman43 Před 8 lety

    was this the NRR you did ? also, would you recommend doing this if one is racing at Sandown the same evening?

  • @MrAndrew1953
    @MrAndrew1953 Před 7 lety

    Any reviews of 2017 Bianchi Allroad Maven? Cheers.

    Hey mate sorry if I missed it, but how much you get it for and where from? :)

  • @glennoc8585
    @glennoc8585 Před 8 lety

    Nice bike! I ride a Sempre and have been very happy with it so far and will consider moving over to the Oltre funds permitting. Your frame and forks are made in Taiwan much like all frames are these days, nothing wrong with that of course. I think the Specialissima is made in Italy.

  • @XxMRWhitTExX

    where did you get that Jersey and where do you typically buy riding gear?

  • @MrKrobbie

    How cool would it be to have a group ride with your subscribers......
    In Perth but would be cool for Melbourne crew

  • @jacobcobb4778
    @jacobcobb4778 Před 8 lety

    What size is the bike? And how tall are you? Thanks for all your videos. Whenever you upload new videos I go see them right away

  • @aldrinclementina4297
    @aldrinclementina4297 Před 3 lety

    Hi there it's a old video. But man How can you do a group ride with a back pack. No wonder you got dropped. I ride a 928L with full DA btw

  • @Orgakoyd
    @Orgakoyd Před 7 lety

    What's your height and weigh Mark?

  • @mackwan88
    @mackwan88 Před 8 lety

    Reviews are a goldmine for increasing your CZcams viewership (suggest you do a review of your jawbreakers, rapha shoes and helmets). But keep up the vlogs - my mates and I really getting into these! also what happened to your Propel?

  • @tomnickdelonge1

    @daniel48326 Před 8 lety

    Hi , really enjoy watching your vlogs, I am looking to get on ZWIFT and was wondering if you could do a vlog on how to use and set it up? That's if you use it and rate it?!!
    Keep up the good work!

    • @dragoon5444
      @dragoon5444 Před 8 lety

      Zwift is great fun. It's even better if you have a smart trainer (eg Wahoo Kickr). you can try Zwift for free, the first 50km costs nothing.

    • @daniel48326
      @daniel48326 Před 8 lety

      +Stuart VEGAN sounds great. I don't have a smart turbo, just a classic and speed cadence sensor etc, is that all you need ??

    • @dragoon5444
      @dragoon5444 Před 8 lety

      +Dan Colley Zwift will work like that too. zwift will calculate your power if you don't have a power meter using your speed sensor data and your trainers specifications. what will be strange is that when you get to a hill you don't need to change gear and of course there will be no added resistance. This means you can keep peddling with the same cadence and all that happens is that your character in the game slows down. It is still great fun though, and motivational to have other people to ride with / against.

    What a bike! Man that's a looker. Too bad I can't justify getting one.

    What's your profession Maven? Looks like you're a surgeon.

  • @jordanwalker445
    @jordanwalker445 Před 8 lety +1

    Loving the vids!! so are you a surgeon?

  • @planttheseed2129
    @planttheseed2129 Před 8 lety

    Just curious. How tall are you? 78kilo is perfect for your build, I think.

    • @polski1986
      @polski1986 Před 8 lety

      +PlantTheSeed looking at hes build hes like 6.0 around 180cm i think... its pretty heavy when you want to be fast, im same weight but im a runner when i drop down to 75kg it feels so much lighter

  • @Godspeed961
    @Godspeed961 Před 3 lety

    I ride this bike and its really uncomfotable ! Any owner can tell his opinion ? Anyone who puts good bartape - 25er tyres and comfy saddle??

  • @macmakka8214
    @macmakka8214 Před 8 lety

    Bianchi- family sold out to FIAT in the 1950's, Moved to NSW & became farmers-James Bianchi ( grandson of EB) lives in Coffs Harbour, would make an interesting story
    Edduardo married Alfred Deakin ( Aust PM) daughter, James stays with relatives in Toorak ( Deakin family)
    Bianchi made a car in the 20's called the Australia-Funny old world the way things cross paths

    Maven, get a small portable USB 3.0 card reader. You'll be able to import your GoPro footage a hell of a lot faster than importing directly from the GoPro.

    • @cyclingmaven
      @cyclingmaven  Před 8 lety

      Okay Matt will do. Thanks for the tip.

    • @MatthewBayard
      @MatthewBayard Před 8 lety +2

      Happy to help. Its 10 times faster so it should help on those days when you've got no time, heaps of footage or both.
      I've just started to get into cycling more seriously. I hope to start crit racing soon.
      Happy cycling.

    I had a conversation about Bianchi's bikes with the biggest dealer of Campagnolo products in my Country and that man also sell Bianchi. He says that the only Bianchi bike that worth it is Specialicima but the cost is high so we all who cant take an expensive bike like that we cant also compare the real diferrenses that really good bikes give to us from an cheapiest bike

    @dho Před 8 lety

    haha snapchat is all the rage for adolescents like me. not sure if you know the basics already but you should try posting stuff to your story so anyone you have added can view it for the next 24 hours. it's not actually a very good app for messaging though it can be fine for short exchanges--you have to manually save each text or else it self destructs after you view it just like the pictures.
