"next wave we are going to dip the wheel" *camera man decides that its a good time for a backflip
Want to come to Mexico? 2 day, 270Kms 6,800+
1 hour before the ride ? that seems like a mistake honestly...you are loosing bloodflow to digestion... you should fuel with a strong dinner night before, and try to ride it fasted with sugar water... or have a breakfast and leave atleast 2 to 4 hours before starting your ride
Girvin flex stem had one on my mountain bike in the 80’s 🚲👊
your stem is neutral short, and the drop wide you need larger and negative stem and narrow drop, a 200 or 250mm negative stem may do it , you may even end winning the race. Plus your saddle is too high.
thank you xQc
Quelques risques pris sur la route inutilement
Your pulleys shouldn't cost more than your derailleur ?
What mount are you using on the stem of bike?
Thank you for the video Charles. Very good tests. Please tell me I might have missed it: did you also decreased the saddle height by 1cm when going from the 165 to 175? Also vise versa. The reason I'm asking is that saddle height is one of the major indicators of the ability to generate power on the saddle. If you didn't change saddle height with the crank length change, can you redo the test in a future video? It's really interesting and a hot topic these days. Also, if you can get your hands on two cranks 175 and 165 can you also try that outside? Im just throwing ideas for future videos here.
Write wrong. Just realized from your footage that you did all your sprints 100% standing. You can try seated tests too. Don't forget to decrease saddle height by 1cm when going from 165 to 175
Did you end up reviewing the redshift seatpost?
I like my 8” crank shaft!
the one thing i'll remember from this man: lube your asshole.
Use an e-bike next time, Charles. lol
Here's me trying for 200 watts
😂
You ever heard of pas normal studios 😁
I got a new bike and i wasted 1 hour on limit screws and cable length trying to adjust the rear derailleur wondering why it doesn't shift properly with them perfectly set, till i realised the problem was at the b screw😂
Why not just replace the shimano pulley wheels with same size pulley wheels with ceramic bearings, eg. BBB rollerboys or similar. You won't gain weight that way?
It looks fine. Most carbon bikes are all looking the same so I think a more important bit of knowledge to know when making a choice is types of carbon and how it's used in key areas, and the molds they come out of. These are things the manufacturers say are trade secrets. Which is why I'd never buy a carbon bike.
The biggest factor for me is the seat post clamp, I’ve never had good luck with internal clamps. Why!!!
Chain issue which also ended up in a tire issue. Another reason to avoid tubeless.
😮 been waiting for this bike. This exact one!!!!!! Have had trouble nailing one down but will have one. Oh yes, i will have one. For everyone not familiar with Felt, they are NO JOKE! Super high quality, no shilling, no bs, just a damn good brand!
Good luck adjusting the saddle height…
@@adventureswitheddie6444 is it a challenge?
@@universe-juice I’m currently building one and I’ve spent an hour trying to install the seatpost
@@adventureswitheddie6444 oh no! Is good to know
Beautiful bike, but I personally would need a 155mm stem slammed to use. Still very beautiful!
Great Thanks
I thought favorite dinosaur would be velociraptor - light & fast!
I think the longboard would win if the rider use better posture, like bending closer to the ground for more speed and stability.
bike check on that felt
Very much under fuelled!
When I cramp towards the end of a 40k ride it’s amazing how effective a banana is. It’s instant effective to cure quad cramp is amazing.
Cool vid. Great scenes. Vibrant outfit.
What if you have 2 sets of cassettes?
I really like my Bonts, however it's a bit annoying that there aren't any dealer here in Montreal. I've had very bad issues with two pairs now, had the Vaypor+ where one of the BOA dial ripped off from the shoe and can't repair them and just now, with the Helix that replaced them, I can't thread the BOA cable through the eyelet in the channel that wraps arounds. Make it very hard to have some decent service :( Still, I got an other pair of used Vaypor S as a backup set if anything happens.
I'm tall and healthy. I want 180mm cranks.
That kit looks good, and luckily for you, you are slim and the size fits you well.
Deym his stunt skill was stunning I would have been destroyed as fuck if I was the one riding that bike 🤣😂😅
Merci les gars pour cette super vidéo !
The 23 isn’t available in double wide sizes, so I went with the Vaypor+, also doesn’t wrap the foot as much as the S and I got the kangaroo leather. Bont and Lake are the only companies that make a wide last for their wide sizes, my opinion is Lake for comfort and Bont for performance Check out all the options on Bont semi-custom too
I had these Vapor 23. I found the upper to be too soft. Swapped them out for a pair of Vapor S.
Salut Charles! Quel était ta taille dans les souliers Giro? Et en Bont? Merci!
L'étiquette dans le talon sur ses Bont dit taille 42.
I used to be a Lake diehard fan but wanted something lighter.. Had the Lake CX238 and CX241, this one fits just as comfortable for the width, and STIFFER and LIGHTER by farrrrrr (those using Lakes will know they are not the lightest).. The upper is a lot thinner, not real leather but feels like leather, very pliable and well ventilated for long rides (i do around 250-300kms a week).. And just so easy to put power down to the pedal on this, very recommended!!
Cool! I never tried Lake shoes, would love one day!
Too bad they don’t have retail presence in Montreal. I’d definitely consider.
I think they have a great return/size exchange policy. Also they have a online size generator guide which is very accurate
Same. I did buy them using their online guide, and if you can check Marketplace to validate if the size fits with someone else's shoe.
I also have this camera and use it for recording cycling content;I find that the watching the camera's videos are best suited for small screens (laptops and smaller); on big screens, the videos are too pixelated.
It's the price to pay for a very small 360 camera!
Charles, thanks to you I discovered Bont shoes a couple of years ago. Love the Vaypor S and Vaypor G. Just last week received my first pair of Vaypor 23. I kid you not, the moment I put them on I was like “oohh wow, these are like comfy slippers. Nice.” They basically haven’t come off my feet since. My Vaypor S pair are giving me jealous looks. That all said, I have to echo everything you said in your review here, especially the bit about the locked in feeling being in no way compromised compared to the Vaypor S. They feel locked in every bit as much as the S and G models. And so light and buttery smooth feeling. Bont really knocked it out of the park with these. By the way, the garage is looking sick dude. Looove the red under cabinet LEDs. That reflection effect off your workbench is next level. Nice work man.
Thank you so much!!!! Glad you enjoy the v23 as much as I do. Lot's of love went into my garage recently :)
Gimmick
nope
Would you say the new version allows you to get the cleats further back?
Yes they do I think!!!
did you get shadowbanned or something? you never show up in my recommended anymore.
Same here!
I don't post much anymore, that's why! :') Would love a strong comeback, but I'm a bit lost on where I'm taking my UA-cam channel. Currently doing most of my effort on Instagram
Cool video! very good quality and great information on the shoes! would you recommend this to a somewhat beginner (I've only ridden about 1500 km)?
Thanks! That's a difficult question. But I live by the sentence : Buy cheap, buy twice. But understand they are quite expensive!
@@CharlesOuimet Alright! i will think of that when i buy shoes next time, and definitely keep the V23 in mind! thank you!
An indoor trainer that’s worth it’s weight will be more than the cost of a fitting if you don’t already have access to one
Biggest problem is getting it to the airport and in the transfer car to your location at the other end.
Agreed!
I'm thinking it's probably good for alot of folks. I'm thinking about getting one for my dad. Though i think it may be too late for him. He has COPD. I made an idiot mistake in my life where i decided to start smoking. I've since quit. And would like to see about maybe counter acting that idiocy. I'll never have a v02 like a tour de France athlete. But I'd love to at least not die at 45 🤗
