Love the mix of ride and chat, and your videos are always just the right length. It makes your channel uniquely different from the likes of GCN, so don’t change it. Metallic orange for the bike.
Thanks, means a lot 👍🏼🙏🏼
Fair Play Dave great ride 👍we Love the waffling 🤪🤪
As for the tyres yeah matey interesting like you say need to ride in all conditions so I for one will be looking forward to future comments and views on the tyres plus been on web and can’t find a price to compare to others brands plus lots of us love a tan wall is that gona be an option
Orange is really a great colour for me at minute Juliet’s orange /blue Marin for me is one of the best looking bikes around
Happy cycling All 👍👍👍
Thanks mate. You’ll have to stay tuned for more on the tyres, I’m excited though! Juliets bike made me think of orange.
I ordered some right after watching your your video. I have a pair of tan walls coming soon.
Mix of the both... Killing it man!
Thanks mate
Chatting and bikes works for me!
Tyres are fairly personal, particularly with Gravel which can be anything from MTBING in all but name, to smooth park trails! I found both GravelKings SK and X-ones just too lightweight and ripped out the sidewalls, I’ve switched to Smart Sams which seams to be lasting over last year or so.
Like your new tyres have a running strip like the cheap MTB tyres of old, though theses are far better seem as fast, with better grip as they have bigger knobs, and I like stuff more to the MTB end of things.
Thanks Roger, I know what you mean about tyres.
looked like a great ride , glad the new tyres are working out - always fun to ride through the bits with the stinging nettles - tends to lead to the nicer trails!
It was thanks, they were pretty brutal, but you’re right there were nice trails at the end!
Vlog is a good mix of chatting and riding Dave. Single colour for me would be Matt grey with black decals.😎
Cool, thanks.
Dave, I'm excited for you and your new relationship with Goodyear. They are a top notch company, no doubt about it. When it comes to tires, I don't doubt for a minute that they have some of the best compounds available in the industry. Those that ride a lot know that good tires are worth a premium because of their longevity. Some tires have decent performance, but just don't last very long. I'll be interested in your thoughts on the Goodyear's durability. By the looks of things, the tires in this video are really good for a variety of surfaces.
Thanks Ray, I know exactly what you mean, I’ve heard good things about Goodyear, looking forward to riding them more. They really are a good all round tyre.
Banter and riding always a good mix👍 as for the bike, ice blue 😎
That’s 2 for blue, so far Ice blue and sky blue 👍🏼
And again a really nice video :) I also love your mix between talking and riding. Tires seems nice, but lacking some 650b options (maybe you can have a chat with goodyear :P)
Some copper like color would be awesome!
Thanks mate! Goodyear have some rad things planned. 🤫
@@DaveNoakes 👀
edit: funny thing: 'Rad' can be used as the German short form of 'Fahrrad' which means bicycle :D
hey Dave, quick but unrelated question...what Handlebar bag do you use ? it looks pretty compact and i am experimenting with frame bags / seat bags for basic kit but not tried bar bags yet , cheers
Hi Chris, it’s by Skin Grows Back their website should be in the channel description 👍🏼
Good mix of talking and riding, don't change it! I think a British racing green bike could look pretty rad! Did a 56 mile mountain bike ride today, 2000ft of climb, but had to push it up a one mile long 13% hill, needed another 15 cogs at least to haul it up that! Don't know how you make it up a 20%
Good effort, that’s a long old mtb ride! The hills here are pretty steep so it’s just getting used to it. Thanks 🙏🏼
How the hell do you fall asleep during a root canal? 😂. The tyres look good, glad they perform well too, great to see a company like Goodyear getting into the cycling game.
Hahaha I have no idea...I just drifted off. Goodyear have some rad things planned!!
i see what you did there with the "goodyear" jokes!
👍🏼😂
What do u have in your handlebar bag.
Mega video
Chest mount, camera, food 👍🏼
Hi Dave another great vlog tyres seem great im always changing tyres so I'll keep posted on how those perform 👍as the colour for your bike whst about a bright sparkly metallic colour that changes tone in the different light cromoflair woooow.. by the way I did that rosedale chimney on sat, nearly killed me but did it 👍👍👍😅😅😅
Thanks Mark, they have some good things planned, but can can’t really say more! Sounds like a rad paintjob. Good effort mate!
If you are that desperate for gravel, come to Poland, you will soon get sick of it!! I did a 80 km ride today, gravel of all different grades, up and down, and 1 forest section of 16 km of nothing but gravel, with 1000s of pot holes, but for me its not problem cause I'm on an mtb with 72 cm wide bars! I just can't get my head around riding on such a dodgy sketchy surface with narrow drop bars, it just seems so dangerous, or maybe its time I tried!? PS lovin the films!
Thanks mate, that sounds epic! You get used to drops pretty quickly, feels weird at first but if you’ve ridden a lot you’ll adjust fast enough.
So tire of choice for when Mars attacks, nice! Bike color, stormy grey.
Certainly will be 😂😂😂
Ford Focus RS orange 👍. Keep up the chat and riding content
That’s a rad colour, thanks mate.
Hi, Can you please recommend? I'm searching for a fast rolling gravel tire max. around 36mm as I'm limited in space. Recently I've seen so many tires, but I guess the most interesting ones are Goodyear Connector and Conti Terra Speed. I will ride mainly light gravel and just don't want to slip around heavily ;)
Hmmm the goodyear connectors come in 35mm and they are perfect for light gravel. I’ve ridden all sorts on my 40 and 50mm. The 35 should be good for light gravel and road miles.
Rusty orange sounds great
👍🏼👍🏼
Sky blue, gotta love some blue on a bike :) although mine is matt black and blood red.
Oh sky blue sounds nice!
@@DaveNoakes with some old school panels
Great vid as usual. Fell asleep during root canal😂
🤷🏻♂️😂 thanks mate
Hi Dave, what about hot pink for your bike? Been out shredding with my son on our Cube mtbs could you recommend a hybrid road/trail tyre for 26in wheel. Lovin the vids please keep them coming.
I did think that too. Really sorry I have no idea when it comes to 26”.
Rusty orange ,and love the chat in your vlogs
Rad and thanks 👍🏼
Talking and riding 👍👍. Bike colour ORANGE. In capitals. Brighter the better !
Thanks Paul, I do like bright!
I'd go for matt grey and neon blue decals! 👌
Nice!!!
Great vlog your waffling makes it entertaining
Thanks Ian.
Nice1 Dave👍 Drab Olive Colour for Paint job in my opinion 😀
Thanks👍🏼
Matte army green or matte grey👍🏼 I'm a bit biased though since my Cannondale Hooligan is matte army green
They are rad colours! I’m a mega fan of matte
ive tried a few tyres recently as i find the limiting factor on my gravel bike is its ability to corner rather than its lack of suspension (i like to ride MTB trails and i want the fastest time of the day!). not sure if its a geometry issue with the bike or if im asking too much of 47-50mm tyres, or its just par for the gravel bike course, probably a bit of everything. i just seem to keep washing out which i never do on the MTB. maybe i need to demo a few other gravel bikes to see if there is anything else that might perform a bit better.
The problem with gravel is, it means something different to everybody one mans rock garden is another mans gravel. Its why i hate the term gravel. All road is what they are. You need a proper supple CX tyre if your using 700c and a narrow MTB tyre if your 650b (supple is the keyword). Back in the day we where all running 1.95-2inch tyres they won't be the limiting factor. Many "Gravel" tyres are overbuilt and heavy making them slow and less compliant and more like touring tyers, Like the good year above (sorry Dave it just wouldn't be my first choice). The only game in town I've found TBH is Rene Herse and if you want knobbly grip the Steilacoom and Juniper ridge specifically, Though if your riding baby head/ pee gravel/soft over hard it won't matter what tyer you have its not going to grip, stones rolling on stones. The same with sand. So you might as well use a fat slick like the switchback hill has more grip than it has a right to, especially if you dial in the pressures you just have to get used to its floaty feeling trust me it won't give, ride flats and stick a foot out riding round corners to feel more comfortable.
Tread makes a difference in the wet not really the dry slicks and knobbly's act much the same in the dry. Look at Ted king he won the dirty Kansa on slicks!
Couldn’t have said it better!
@@DaveNoakes going to try Schwalbe G One Ultrabite 700x2.0 on the front to see if improves front end grip. ill probably pair it with a WTB venture or Raddler at the back depending on time of year.
Thanks for the tyre review Dave.. you should consider joining GCn presenter as well.. with your talent and natural.. people will like you.. “ apart from corona virus.. am ah ing A GoodYear 😅 well said..
Thanks Jason, they seem like a nice bunch but I like doing my own thing. I think GCN has gone a bit downhill lately
You should go ride the gravel in Scotland.. The views are mental! Go Pearlescent for the paint colour!
I’d love to!
@@DaveNoakes You could do a gravel tour going from Bothy to Bothy!
GREEN!
👊🏼👊🏼
Army green matte paint 💯💯🚴🔥
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Is that the SGB Lunchbox?
Sure is
How do you find all these gravel trails? just local knowledge?
Mostly, my wife also rides here so between us we find a lot.
Neon pink
I love neon pink!
How about some shiny BRG for next frame color?
👍🏼👍🏼
🤙🤙🤙watching thinking I need more tats and proper riding glasses...🤘
9:43 is this sound a reference to Juliet's intro/meowtro?
😂😂😂 I’m not sure what that noise was
One tire to rule the all... HA HA HAAAAA!
Hahaha one tread to rule them!
Trails are just at that stage where they've gone past the 'lush phase' into the 'nettley bastard phase' eh?
Yup, it’s a sting fest out there now!
Eeeeverybody goes for the army green. It’s a bit to dull for you if ask me.
True
Paint it a burnt orange !!
That’s what I thought
Hi Dave. What handlebar bag do you have on there? Ta
colour ummm camo that fades to the rusty orange so like ratrod one end while nice camo the other :) or green with a patena effect with the orange showing through :) shame thoe you can only do one colour... umm the bmw orange is nice the one thats like pops with the flakes in :)
Sounds very nice!
A nice copper colour?
Oh, I do like that.
A nice deep candy apple red
Ohhh! Nice!
Hi Dave, when is the velopark reopening?
I think the 25th July.
Dave Noakes cheers mate, me and Stephen looking forward to seeing you.
I was half expecting Hobbits to show up...
😂😂would have been rad!
7:40... I see what you did there...
😂🤣
No tan wall variant tho :(
You know I love a tan wall!
@@DaveNoakes well you know what to tell them! :)
A tan Wall is there (at least now)
If it’s carbon, save weight and go natural. Banter and bike riding works for me
It’s steel, it does look nice raw though.
What the hell did he say?😂
Who you asking? Them or me? 😂
Hi dave great vid tyres sounds good. 👍
Thank you, loving them!
