dark and we got my garment solar so that’s good and di2 so electric gears I’ve bought my charger with me just in case but I did test out the gears and they last us for 800 mil before without dying so

like it a lot it’s um does me well is that is it a gravel or you’ve got very low gearing but looks of it technically it’s a um they sell it as um single speed cycle cost set a bit of a road road bike

year we were doing something else we cancel that and then I didn’t sign on so you’re a driver driver a mechanic pre event yeah you’re on your own now now over to you you’ll be there at the end though yeah and you own your phone call away also I can have some rides on my own in peace now so we all know Chris number 16 this year we W to or point off I was near going to say together but don’t why we started together didn’t we we didn’t yeah I didn’t finish I ended up in a in a churchard yeah it got got into the late distri didn’t you then you turn around see this year you come back me business we’ll see and uh oh Alex as well how you doing hello come back for more yeah we were finished of course in time and you’ve traveled where from um from Germany Germany yeah okay F so you the first 2 hours fingers crossed on the weather front guys yeah together that’s right yeah end we were kicking off about that fell with the exposure lights that’s right yeah riding with an my friend yeah it seems so long ago now the beginning of April I think it I know I’ve been still banging on about it all day today cuz just the similarities of the fact that uh it’s like a nighttime star yes but it’s it’s not over so quickly is it so can you tell me about your bite of course aocc right so I’ve been waiting for ages for some ta Carina cranks because I want to convert this to TA but in the interim I put a grx on there with uh 165 cranks in the uh recommendation from my bike fit well no that’s not strictly true my bike fitter said you don’t need 165 cranks and then I relayed that to my dad and he said very patronizingly well they’re your knees so then I thought maybe I should so anyway I stuck them on um we’ve got pretty low gears here so we’ve got GX standard 46 30 on the front and a 34 on the back for the spinny spinny of the steep hills lovely gold chain as well lovely yes so odox maths the gold chain is like 40 G lighter than a Shimano 105 and the jams from the premier in that I nicked are 14 G each so three extra jams for the price of that gold chain every Grand matters uh unless you’re me nobody else seems to have as much stuff as me right every time I’m sure they do no no no every time I’m like literally I would die if I don’t have every single item that I have here right now and then I rock up to an event and then like everybody has like half the stuff that I have I can’t even lift my bike onto the bloody thing it’s too heavy [Music] so it looks like somebody’s just arrived what’s your name and number uh Matthew and number 52 I’m just going to go around the bike where you are you local where you doing from living uh live in London but originally from Birmingham ah so yeah and what’s the B you riding on today it’s a saffron Frameworks so stainless steel yeah carbon for so Matthew at saffron did a nice job for me so got this last year yeah so watch gear so far uh yeah yeah yeah yeah I could probably do something a bit higher for the the big Hills but but we’ll see how you can never have enough gear yeah well you have a good ride yeah well thank you [Music] as I look around there’s lots of nervous faces got 40 minutes to [Music] go look who it is James
