      🤫🙃 methinks the "reason" you had all these problems was b/c your bikes knew you didn't want to ride the whole ~3000 meters. You two are too funny.

    3. @malcontent_1 on

      One of the nefarious limiting factors with rim brakes not actually the brakes but, rather, the braking surface on carbon rims—that's just a bad combination. With the right wheels, dual pivot rim brakes work great, even at Shimano 105 level.

      I agree with you, Katie is wrong about rim brakes.
      I agree with Katie, some things are meant to be and may have prevented you from crossing a nasty unknown.
      Seeing that car coming around the bend, and you two on the left side of the road, messed with me. American viewer, here.
      The cameras and filters must be a special interest.
      You two make good videos together. I'll be looking forward to you two riding those hills you missed out on this time. Or, anytime before then.

      J have you ever had a ride free of "faff" ? 🙂
      Bless Katie
      What was that track by Eletronic ?

      Yorky Dales beautiful, but if there's a b…rd headwind blowing, exposed Central 🙂
      Have a great day

      Lovely countryside and two lovely women to narrate the trip. A few thoughts: I'd go with the rim brakes any day. The camera-filter guy reminds me of the Monty Python skit of the touring cyclist droning on about how he protects his cucumber sandwiches in case of a crash. Juliet; have you considered using a stick to mount the camera? Leonard M Lee has some useful tips on filming while riding. He's a cameraman by trade I think.

      Disc brakes are by far superior to rim brakes for many reasons. I have one bike I use for everything. It’s a gravel bike with endurance road geometry. Handles well on or off the road. Unless you’re road racing, one by with 11, 12, or 13 speed is adequate. With an 11-42 cassette and a 40 tooth front chain ring it handles almost all situations. The 40×42 low gear is lower than most two by systems. I’m spun out at 30mph on the high gear. Gravel bikes are really the Swiss Army knives of bicycles. I have two sets of wheels, one for the road and one for gravel.

    28. @denlsgoulden2307 on

      Sometimes when you fit larger diameter more tooth cassettes, you may need a derailleur extender piece otherwise when in lowest gear ratio theres insufficient clerence for the upper derailleur idler sprocket 😊👍

      Only thing I am going to say : yes!
      You two should really fly away togheter and attempt one of those ride across series of hers Katie;
      I would suggest an outlandish destination, Italy is exotic enough, maybe the southern region of Bavaria in Germany might do;  certainly, riding across Switzerland would really be marvellous and mysterious too!

      Indeed, I can see why the Dales lend themselves to cycling, wide open, fierce and untamed, with little if any traffic and smoothly run pavement that twists and turns among the peaks and the valleys;
      A shout to freedom and bravery.

      No better feeling of dismounting your bikes and heading for a warm, cosy night after so much faff and labour.
      Privileged to see you two content and cheerful togheter !
      😁 😄 👏🤞 👋 = ]

      I’m with you Katie, manual shifters and rim brakes. Why fix something that’s not broken, simple can be repaired in the field as it where. Love you two doing rides together, when are you coming to the North Yorkshire moors. For one of your epic rides have you thought of Switzerland.
      Keep up the good work you two .
