I have this exact model of Rockbros glasses. IMO the best looking out of their portfolio and they work just fine. I don't like extreme tint, so in full sun they are enough and when sun goes down they are almost fully transparent. For $20 - no brainer.
I like the Coolspo computer. It's has many functions and each screen is customizable. It has functions that the more expensive computer don't have. for somebody who rides locally and doesn't need a map, it works great.
Buy a tool to stop your hands getting dirty remounting the chain, and then mount it to the part of the bike that gets covered in crap thrown up from the rear wheel. Makes perfect sense.
Great content. It's nice to see the budget end of the market for a change. I've actually had that saddle bag in my basket for months, as well as that coospo computer. Reinforced my initial thoughts, the bag will be purchased but the computer won't. Think I'll opt for the Bryton 👍
Showerpass waterproof gloves and socks they are on sale they are a bit more costly but they are excellent especially for winter rides. I’m new to cycling but I for sure appreciate having warm dry hands and feet
Although it is good that Rockbros provides a cheap alternative to the original ones, I just don’t want to support a brand that produces straight knock-offs of the big name brands and sometimes fully independent brands only because of their popularity. Hopefully they design and produce their own because I believe they have potential to be a leader in the budget category.
Great to see budget options as cycling stuff can be very expensive. I did a review on the coospo on my channel (John on a Bike ) and I was VERY impressed especially for the price. They also do an even cheaper one to. Yes you can use your phone but if you don't want to have a big phone on your bike (in case you fall and break it) then this is a good cheap oiption
Good selection of solid bang for buck products no sketchy cheap but a good level, a lot of cycling channels idea of budget is having to do a Waitrose weekly shop.
About the headphones, I recommend saving up and getting Shokz Aeropex, which are waterproof. It's more important than you think. I've killed quite a few sets of water resistant, supposedly 'sports" Bluetooth headphones through sweat getting into the works. It's almost as bad as dropping them in the sea. My Shokz Aeropex have never missed a beat. Plus you get 8 hours of actual battery life. They are expensive but worth it if you can swing it. I'd save money on other things, like expensive shorts or smart watches, and even skimp on drive train components (get Deore or Microshift instead of XT) and get some properly waterproof open ear phones.
I have little doubt that Bone conduction headphones are the way to go for cycling - open ear means awareness of surroundings and the ability to listen to some music or podcasts privately while cycling. I have been using a small speaker, which keeps animals away when in remote areas, but for road cycling and normal bicycle touring I think that's nicer. The saddlebag and handlebar bag are great for the price, ideal for starting out imho. Pair that with sth like the decathlon waterproof fram bag, two rhinowalk handlebar bottlecages, two 4L fork bags for heavier stuff and you're pretty much good to go. Agreed on the bike computer - just get an older used Garmin for 100€. Much better value for money, and functionality.
I got the Rockbros glasses. I like them cause I can fit them over my normal glasses, unlike most cycling glasses. They also have myopia frames that can be inserted into the glasses (similar to higher-end cycling glasses), but they seem to be brittle and it gets expensive to change lenses. Also, really low IQ comments and downvoters here. You can hate Amazon and their business practices, but some of us don't have good bike shops in our countries, nor have the budget for better stuff or are dipping our toes in a new hobby. And puh-lease, you guys are probably still using Amazon, and CZcams ain't exactly a saint either.
Velcro on something that needs thightening is very brave, i would not recommend this for its purpose.. the bike computer on the other hand, makes more sense for those with smaller needs
Great video ! I would like to know if there were any good affordable rear « dashcam ».. I had an accident couple of days ago, nothing serious, no physical damage, but my bike did suffer a bit. Luckily there were no hit and run, but I would like to know if there were any good ways to record such accidents in the future. PS, I’m in France.
so i have a motorized cruiser bike and i have a flashlight a rear light phone holder and i just got that rhino bag i just need a speedometer does anyone know any that deal with higher rpms on a bike and shaking from the motor
After looking at reviews for hours for a cheapish safety cam , I came across your vid 🙏 great and simplistic review of the CF1 . Four hours of my life I won’t get back thanks for this
In the gloves defence, you clearly didn't choose the correct size, it even shows the size option on the screenshot and it has a size chart so you can figure what size you need.... think you got the XXL version, they looked like marigolds on you.
This is my first road czcams.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and I have taken it out a handful of times and so far it is exceeding all of my expectations. I didn’t want to break the bank on a first bike and the herd is a great option for getting a fast bike with reliable components. I plan on riding this bike for many years to come. Thank you Sava!
I dont think cheap means what you think it means. Gloves for £20, and they are shit?! (Decent gloves start at £7-17). Glasses for £30 (mine cost £6 and are better than those)! Camera over £100?!
Probably wont show on here but this was my review of the coospo bike computer very impressive for the price and I compared it to my hammerhead Karoo to czcams.com/video/Iz2D_jipmGE/video.html
Cycliq absolutely S-U-C-K! Quality is awful, support is about the worst I've ever experienced. And they're expensive. Avoid Cycliq at all costs! Drift Ghost cameras are much, much better, and their support is brilliant. This Technalogic looks like a tempting option too.
I think Sam is a great addition, love his enthusiasm.
Good to see reviews of budget kit. This should be a regular thing.
First one is GBP 104... That's not in my budget.
Preferably not from Amazon though…

The photochromic sun glasses is a good deal, have been using it for 1 year, value for money
I already had those exact rockbros cycling glasses, really like them, more than enough for me

Awesome..makes life easier

for me phone is the best option and modern phones are more weather proof the almost any other electronics besides watches

I have that exact pump and it works great for an emergency option.
I would love to see more of these!
Can you do a segment about what products is really cheap on Amazon that is actually good. 🤔
Good suggestions. Looking forward to a similar video.
Velcro on something that needs thightening is very brave, i would not recommend this for its purpose..
the bike computer on the other hand, makes more sense for those with smaller needs
I like knowing my heart rate, distance, speed, hill ascent on the coospo computer rather than using strava on my phone, I use that for the map.
the coospo bike computer actually does have maps. I've had it for over a month and love it
Superb content. Very relevant and useful for cyclists looking to gear up.
The pod sacs from Planet X are similar to the 2 bags you showed & the ones I have are actually waterproof
Not seeing the first one on amazon at all. The front cycle camera
Can the Air Conduction Open Ear headphones be used while cycling? The product description says "no sweat/water."
Can the bone conduction headphones be used by glasses wearers? Id have to sit them over the frame of the glasses
Amozin!
Nice Video, but why I cannot open the link of coospo bike computer, should be a nice choice

They do a rear one too as a package
The headphones suck when u have the sunglasses you mentioned

Should've included the Xoss G+!
where are these bikes manufactured?

Your links don't seem to work for the products
Great video would like to see an Aliexpress version
Links appear to be broken for the two bags
I'd rather see you shill a bike brand than Jeff Besos' Amazon. Would you stay talking about Poundland or compare it with similar retailers?
Agree. Stop buying sh!t from a person that treats his employees like slaves.
Issue would be that not everyone has a bike shop nearby and would just perfer the easier option to have it delivered to you

Nothing here interests me in the slightest.
Interesting. That’s how I feel about your comment.
@@randomdude5938 You buy cycling gear from Amazon?
Why don’t you leave the video then?
I dont think cheap means what you think it means. Gloves for £20, and they are shit?! (Decent gloves start at £7-17). Glasses for £30 (mine cost £6 and are better than those)! Camera over £100?!
You sure do say ‘actually’ a lot
I think you mean obviously
Are u indian 🤔
cheap usually means chinese. chinese usually means crap. do the math
The 3 times as expensive camera from Cycliq is also made in China.
