What are your thoughts on Look's new pedals?
As an owner of a pair of CeramicTi Keo pedals... I hope the price comes down and the bearing kit is cheap. After saying that:
I love the maintenance of my Favero Assioma!
Far to expensive and no single side option.. my prefer my speed plays 😊 Pete
I bought this shoes when comes to the market in December and LOVE IT !! 2k on there and impressive quality and performance for the price !
S-Phyre goon squad here! My feet deserve the best.
Hi, my answer was that I bought a Focus Paralane because I want comfort yet a nice race-like bike. I don't race but I want to ride long and fast so the answer was simple.
Lovely Van Rysel shoes... will they be confortable after just one week of training in the mountains like... idk... the "justifiable" expensive S-Phyre?
Think il stick to the assimo pedals then reliable and cheaper
Actually the assioma duo Shimano with patrocleat bodies will have a lower system weight (pedal+cleats) than the look pedals.
So it's entirely wrong that they would be the lightest. Know your market before you speak.
Those pedals will definitely hit the chainstays on two of my bikes🥴
3:16 imagine spending 5 grand on a Merida 😂
If you want 5000 likes, then you're going to have to resort to "prostate exam face" shots in the thumbnail. 😲
They were NSFW 😅
Its always that : «Van Rysel products has exceptionnal value». Its pretty well know that Decathlon use Uyghurs forced work camps in China for many products. Did you know that slavery is pretty cheap ? I find it so irresponsable when BikeRadar talks about how cheap is a Decathlon product without telling us the why it could be that cheap. That's just enabling.
And what is your source because I could not find any information about that anywhere but on facbook on some weird page where everyone is claiming to know the absolute truth when they have no proof or source « trust me bro, its true. Pogacar is using black magic and wizards spell to dope himself »
Claims without sources are just that. Claims.
@@EstelonAgarwaen i don't know if youtube will block the link, but you can find article that talk about it, but its in french on the Ouest-France and Le Monde journal. Both very mainstream. Write on google Zara, Primark, Decathlon and l'OBS or Ouest- France and youll see the articles im reffering to. The news came from a Eurodéputé named Raphael Glucksmann who runs a non profit to reveal those things.

@@EstelonAgarwaen im not the one making the claim : researchers from the forced labor studies laboratory at Hallam University in Sheffield in Great Britain, with the collaboration of NGOs defending the rights of the Uyghur Muslim minority are making it.
Focus claim that the tube shaping is inspired by airplane wings.
Apart from the bar and forks, the rest of the tubes, where they're facing the air side on, are round front with flat backs.
That's not like a wing! 🤔
As for the stiffness, run larger tyres at less pressure, then the mechanical elements of the bike will waste less of your input, while the tyres make for a smoother ride.
Those look off road power meter pedals look very nicely machined, the only problem with power meter pedals is price, but it is pro tech that you're getting, so kind of understandable.
I'm liking the van reisel shoes, most of us don't need to spend a fortune on cycling shoes, there's not very many road shoes that aren't light these days, as they said, fit is most important, so like with a helmet, best off going to a bike shop.
When you said "at just 260" I was so disappointed when the next word was "grams" not "pounds".
