Testing some lights, the helmet torch should be more powerful otherwise I'm half blind at the curves, to be continued

Very cool, love the music choice

Thanks, mountain riding at night during winter where past 6 is dark was a huge discovery for me

[@igordomingues7870]

Awesome video, hope we get more of these night rides on the gravel!
What bike model / maker is this?

[@IsaacRC]

Thanks, i wish too but i'm keeping the gravel rest for a while, been bleeding money and time for 2 years plus, probably next month will be running again. Its a megamo gravel

[@igordomingues7870]

@@IsaacRC That's awesome, I'm looking into gravels right now, was thinking about a road bike but the city I live in is stupidly hilly, so I'm still looking around, for now I'm just on a commuter e-bike and nothing more
Well, hopefully your situation gets better soon, will be looking forward to see you riding around with it again 😁

@@igordomingues7870 Yeah this is very hilly too and full of fast traffic, while I'm doing mechanics just now, I can tell you that urban oriented bicycles have been in a kind of a dumb bubble for a while, as long as I can remember in fact, the first wall one hits is precisely with gear group-sets don't cover easy gears to go chilling steep uphills in combination with gears to pedal steep downhills, I use in this gravel bike a hacked Shimano groupset to cover these situations I could detail how you can do it. But even more important for me the brakes need to be strong which this hydraulic Shimano grx 600 is good enough, as third priority i would say the tire "wideness" capacity, now the bike has a 52mm-wide cheap mountain bike tires, as the MTB tire measurements are different than road I had to carve down the knobs because it was touching the frame (it depends on the actual wideness of the wheel mount and the capacity of the frame to make room) but for having stability and freedom of movement (obstacles, bad roads, rain, MTB, etc) i wouldn't look at any gravel that doesn't come with a 45c (45mm) minimum from stock which was the wheels that came with this Megamo bike. Now wheels are another whole discussion but the industry doesn't get much diverse either, but it connects with the final priority and no less important: the geometry, a gravel for me must be a fast and nimble bike, road bike geometry already is like that with a compact geometry but to fit bigger tires some modifications have to be done, so be careful with some trends that simply copy the long-wheel geometry from mountain bikes under the argument "it's a stable bike", unless you're planning on doing some kind of crazy "tokyo drift" on dirt roads that argument is BS rather I find an excuse to sell uncomfortable bikes to noobs hoping they will buy the next expensive model.

Can you link your front light?

[@IsaacRC]

It's the spain amazon link, the us amazon sells it under different brands and also sizes, mine does exactly 15 cm. large and what i liked most, apart from being super bright (it says 10000 not confident how scientific that is), you can see there's a thin strip of LEDs under the main big ones, this is useful when you want to turn off the strong lights (it's really damaging for anyone looking at it) and still have a dim light on, daylight amazon says whatever, it works good if you're gonna share the road : www.amazon.es/dp/B0CJ5C83YB
