  • Ever since this bike was announced last year I've been really excited to try it. With the main features being the SRAM 1x drivetrain, disc brakes and the aero super tight clearances, I really liked how uncompromising this bike was in it's design. Now I finally get to discover how it rides!
    Thanks to 3T, Juncker and Koers for organising this testday!

    I'm binging you today for some reason; I plan on going out today (been on the trainer these last few weeks recovering from COVID I had last month) and your channel, Katie Kookaburra, and Leonard Lee have been my inspitation!
    That 3T IS gorgeous, especially the way the back of the frame is cut out for the rear tire, but I just LOVE their Exploro gravel bikes!! One of my bikes is an old Cannondale that I converted into a "gravel-like" bike that I use primarily for Zwifting, but I might have to take it out on the many gravel paths around my neighborhood until i can afford a 3T for the stable!

    I got this 3T handlebar for myself lately. It's super comfortable especially when you want to get a little more aero position so you can lean your elbows/arms on these curved/shaped parts then it's super stable.
    And for wheels - only DTs. Zipps are nice, but DTs are same clean as 3T in its design and look really cool on a ​bike.

    Cool video once again, love watching them every week. I'm curious how you like your new Focus bike and why you chose it above others. Maybe Sunday ;)? 3T bike is not for me though, I think you either love it or you really don't…
    My advice for Thijmen would be to go with the DT Swiss. They are quite similar in quality, but the DT Swiss look much cleaner with the matte finish. My brother in law had a set of DT Swiss PRC 1400 (65mm) and they looked stunning in my (Jet Silver) Ultimate.

    @j3ddai Před 5 lety +1

    Nice video! As for wheels, I would go with the DTSwiss over the Zipps. But, if you're interested, ENVE SES 3.4s are a top wheelset. Good luck!

    I had a SRAM 1x11 set up, but the gaps between gears annoyed me too much, admittedly I had a 10-42t cassette for gravel and the mountains here but was rarely in the gear I wanted. Love the SRAM shifting and their hydro brakes though. I have those 3T Ergonova 'bars on all my bikes, and they work well for me.

    What a beautiful 3T. Simon was asking which aero CF rims to go for and here's the numbers:
    DTS 1100 come in 48, 62, and 80 roughly $3k.
    ZIPP 303, 404, and 808 range from $3,200 to $3,500. Both Wheelsets look good, but ZIPP look more eye appealing. The DTS are just plan blackened carbon. Ultimately, it would be the look he's going for, but they both would most definitely work. Depending on unlimited budget, I'd go with ZIPP. Let us know what Simon chooses. Thx in advance. Great vid and thx for sharing!!!

    The seattube curve seems more drastic than Cervelo S5 and it makes the wheelbase rather short.
    Front if paired a 42 with 11-30 or 44T with 11-32, it's good enough for most ppl for most terrain. I'm riding on a 39 with 11-30 and I can say it's good overall, but I do ride with higher avg cadence of 100

    I think Enve wheels are simply the best value for the money, but you can not ever go wrong with Zipps. If you have tons of money, Lightweights are amazingly light and stiff.

      @Fernwee  Před 5 lety

      I did, and they're on my Canyon right now. Have to say they feel pretty good after the rebuilt, and they're still super light. But I won't be able to trust them on any descents I think.

  • @barefeg
    @barefeg Před 5 lety +1

    Just put a normal 11 28 cassette and a 34 chainring then you climb the same as your normal bike. Some people think they need the 53 chainring and 11 in the back but they don't have the power to push that so you don't really need it. In my cross bike I have 36 chainring and can go faster in the flats than the average rider with a 2x

  • @Zeben84
    @Zeben84 Před 5 lety

    Pretty sure 3T won't make this 1x frame anymore, they already announced the Strada v2 which is compatible 2x.
    From what i've heard from Aqua Blue Sports riders and mechanics, this bike was not ready to race, sram red do not have a 1x rear mech with a clutch which apparently caused many chain drop in races, ofc you can run it with rival and force 1x or shimano 1x di2 hack but that is a really expensive frame and personally i would only put Sram Red or Shimano Dura Ace minimum on it.

    • @Fernwee
      @Fernwee  Před 5 lety +1

      Good point, but I definitely believe there's a market for 1x road bikes, and also think/guess/hope SRAM will present a 1x version of their Red (Etap) system to support it. I guess they played it safe by trying it with just Force first.
      I also heard about the problems with Aquablue, but that sounded to be more a support issue rather than actual mechanical flaws that couldn't be solved.
      I guess we'll find out in the future!

      This is as close to a track bike as you can get, that's what Adam Blythe of Aquablue said. The frame looks similar to a Cervelo track bike.
