Super film! Szkoda, ze nie pokazałeś dokranie śrub kluczem dynamometrycznym, to byłaby dobra praktyka. Film przydatny dla mnie, bo a) nie wiedziałem, ze przy wymianie jest taka filozofia, b) pokazałeś jak wygląda grawel z amorem i jak to pracuje. Mam grawela z płaską i amorem 6cm i zastanawiam się nad barankiem.

Dziękuję za twoje komentarze. Właściciel roweru doznał kontuzji ramienia, więc potrzebował amortyzowanego widelca. Taka wymiana zmienia geometrię roweru. Jeśli uda ci się znaleźć widelec z małym skokiem, to może okaże się jeszcze lepiej.

Nice upgrade!
I'm planning to do the same for my hybrid bike.
Currently I have 700C wheels and I was wondering what would be the best fork size for me?
Can I go with a 27.5 fork or do I have to get a 29 fork?

[@GoodBicycle]

Thank you for your comment. We put a 27.5 fork on this particular bike to prevent the handlebars from rising too high. If you don't use a very wide tire, then a 27.5 fork will be enough.

Excellent workshop 😃

[@GoodBicycle]

glad to be of service! thanks for your feedback 😘

Isso acaba com a geometria, teria que ser uma suspensão com a mesma altura do garfo

[@GoodBicycle]

Sim, a geometria mudou, colocámos uma forqueta por baixo da roda 27,5 para compensar de alguma forma a diferença de altura.

Acabas de descubrir el mtb 🤦🤣🤣🤣🤣 ahora solo falta ponerle un maillar recto y certificaras el redescubrimiento del mtb en 2024 🤭

[@GoodBicycle]

También puedes poner un manillar de carnero en una MTB 😹

[@yuriis1790]

Лютий монстр крос 😅. А те що геометрія істотно змінилась, мінімум на 80 мм перед став вищим, пофіг 😂

[@GoodBicycle]

Дякую за коментар. Щоб хоч якось компенсувати різницю по висоті поставили вилку під 27 ,5'' колесо

🇺🇦❤ приємно коли попадаються українські відео

It's not upgrading. You actually convert the gravel bicycle to MTB. I would replace the fork with titanium one. Also possible to replace the handlebar to titanium, and even the seat post to titanium. Like that your ride will be much cofortable

[@GoodBicycle]

In this particular case, the owner of the bike wanted a shock absorbing fork because he had an arm injury

[@spongebo8250]

I think this a Hybrid now

[@jonenders2953]

The most tiring thing about gravel is this boring geometry talk. What's more is people wanting to take care of other people's bikes. If you buy the parts yourself and assemble it yourself, your bike is not a gravel bike, if you buy it in a store and put on a bigger tire, your bike is not a gravel bike. A concept that started out as cool as the gravel bike, a versatile bike that allows you to ride in different places, today you can't even think about your comfort. Congratulations on the video, and may more people have the courage to leave their gravel the way they like most.
