I ride 60 mm deep wheels on the road, but I'm a mountain biker first so I can handle the bike 😂.
The only one I like is the State.
4:44 Ferb, I know what we're doing today!
4:45 Yes indeed, a friend can cofirm
I like Jimmi's perspective on bikes, its a realistic opinion as a bike content creator. After seeing, riding and reviewing so many bikes you just become numb/jaded to all the exposure. Only very specific types would spark any interests. Him saying about the titanium being a bit generic is true and wish it had some other interesting things done to it. I have similar tastes about bikes where if im spending a decent amount i would at least make it a little unique.
A solid 4.0 for a S-Works with mech disc brakes. A 3T frame with an issue of losing thru-axles while riding. Can it get any better? 😍
The first bike as indeed a fake, not a very good one.
thats “was” my built bike SWORKS VENGE, previously sagan paint, repainted by a professional, logo was oddly finished, 😂😂😂, thanks for the feature though! 😂😂😂
Jimmi, thank you for admitting Brits pronounce a phantom syllable in "aluminum".
How has Jimmi never heard of TPU in all these years of cycling?? 😅
13:00, it has fake mud on there because it looks cool 😂 😭. They do have a model with a straight florusecent yellow paintjob and the Cannondale logo and it looks boring. Boooooo! Jk, I’m just be facetious because I had a SuperX with the faux mud paintjob. I also have a warranty frame with the same design, but different color scheme and the ppl love it.
I run mine slammer; I used the top dust cover from a headset reducer kit (1.56 to 1.25) for a headshok frame. Does the job.
7:57 NOW I CANT UNSEE THAT
I bikepacked the Colorado Trail Race on a Single Speed. Ssp is great for out of the saddle climbing, maybe no the best choice when carrying 35lbs of camping & cooking gear though.
Some shops in my country offering sworks OEM but you can clearly see the difference in the mold 😂
The paint on the SuperX is supposed to look digital like digital camo they use in the military.
👍Best thing about Titanium is its name
Guys tell me if should buy ultegra di2 or 105di2. Cant decide which to put on my Stevens izoard pro disc. Is it worth the extra money?
Curve Belgie is a bit on the generic side. Their road and gravel bikes are. But their GMX+ 29er drop bar bike is very cool
Cannondale always overdo it. Silly ideas and in this case silly paint job
You shoud check out Kocmo Titan Bikes, they are doing sick anodising!
The BB?? Theee BB?!? cracked me but from what movie is cut out there?? 😂😂
Francis- why don’t you like planetx?
Hunt Wheel, big thumbs down from me after one failed on me big time 40 miles from home when 4 spokes gave out. I re-spoked the wheel with stronger spokes and the wheel failed again. I will never touch another Hunt product.
I love my titanium bike because it looks boring.
Love this video. More of the same please.
Jimmy really doesn't know what TPU tubes are? 🤨
Logos suck and I get branding but I’m not impressed with $$$$ and not having a nice paint job. Either pay me for advertising or drop the price. Or keep the price level and give us frkn nice paint job.
Uh 4000 meters and 4000 feet are very different.
2:39 the geometry and handling on this bike is horrible
The anodizing on titanium can be done quite good so it doesn't come off. I have the Controltech Timania stem and dropbars and I've tried to remove the color with a dish scratch pad and it won't come off. I gave up and left it.
I bought a Falath Evo out of curiosity and I find myself riding it more often than any other bike in my garage and that saddle isnt the Elves inhouse 3D printed saddle let alone being 3D printed at all, bro got scammed.
Regarding the seatpost height, I got a bike fit done and my recomended top tube length for is 545mm with a 100mm stem and 714mm saddle height which for Elves is a 54cm frame. For anyone looking to buy an Elves, down size. My I bought a 52cm (535mm toptube with a 110mm stem and 10mm spacer) and my correct saddle height has the seat post on its end range of being in the frame at the "10" marker. 10 being lowest – 1 being highest. The tup tube does sit higher than "normal" because of the intergrated stem.
Jimmi if you really wanna see ti bikes that look super unique, look no further than Mosaic.
Single Speed Rules!
Boooys, Curve are Australian and the kings of endurance and adventure bikes….. just saying 🇦🇺
Wait how do i submit my bike photo?
I thought Curve was an Australian brand
Ahhhhh, Nooooo!… I have a Curve Titanium Belgie Spirit (Curve is an Australian company)…. It is a dream to ride and I wouldn't swap it for the world …. brilliantly comfortable. My rating 10/10 .. 😁
Not me sending in my ride yesterday evening haha, will have to hope for it to be in the next episode!
The elves rider is probably not that small, the top tube is just REALLY high.
Top tube is at the same height as the bars (normally it's at least a couple centimeters below the stem)
and the top tube is nearly straight. Seatpost to bar drop doesn't seem that big,
but I think because of the heigh top tube it looks small.
Stack/reach is probably quite reasonable!
That Hunt with its goofy wrong-way-round tensioner looks weird… A double pulley tensioner looks and works better for what he wants to do. Otherwise that bike is awesome – been wanting to do a build like this for years.
I echo Jimmy's opinion about titanium bikes: They all look the same, like literally. Because there's no coloring. If I want metal, I use steel or aluminium. It's way cheaper and you can get an actual cool paintjob. Corrosion is not really a huge concern if a steel frame is coated internally and if you look after it once in a while. If weight is that much of an issue, I wouldn't really go metal in the first place. But even steel bikes can be brought close to the UCI weight limit. So for me, there's really no obvious argument for titanium. It's just expensive and seems to have an aura of exclusivity that some people seem to go for.
STATE – single speed with chain tensioner JUST WORKS. Ride it till the chain snaps or forever, whichever's first
An S-Works with cable disc brakes?
i bought a single speed mtb. its so much fun it makes me want to go bikepacking. ill have to do it by myself as none of my bikepacking friends will let me use it lol
1x in Austria? Does he jut ride on the valley floors?
Jon Athon’s bike had to have a chain tensioner, he’s running an oval chainring.
Sad to think that this channel is fast becoming a 'GCN Bike Vault' imitator.
