I’m watching this after I bought my bike
Comment from : @jaymartinez6153

Rim brakes will be hot forever and always Enjoy your creaking, squeaking, rubbing discs that need constant realignment and make traveling with your bike a pain

Stop saying "shram", there is no H in Sram

105 Di2 is not necessary, it’s a luxury, but damn, once you ride one and experience perfect shifting and not having to deal with adjusting cables, it really is amazing Pricey and a luxury, but it’s soooo nice to ride
Comment from : @NajibSaer

i just bought a new (last year model) BMC with 105 mechanical, at effectively half the original RRP very happy with that

Canyon endurace CF7 105 group 28c tires
Comment from : @mikebayless4268

Integration looks nice Now that the disk brake hydraulic lines can be filled and bled easily, and the shifting is wireless, it's not even too much of a hassle to deal with
Comment from : @Szergej33

there is nothing wrong w/ a 3X10 group set or rim brakes on road bikes don't make what I want my $$$'s stay in my bank account
Comment from : @harrymurphey2634

Sadly enough there aren't sales on entry-ish level bikes Those still sell well I reckon
Comment from : @flipper2gv

I ride a Fuji Jari Carbon bike with 32 mm tires and its a great cross between a road bike speed with Gravel Bike comfort I have 40 mm tires for the real dirt and mud Like the idea of being comfortable and not blowing out a tire rolling over a bump

Comment from : @berniebee88

Why do they have to invest into rim brakes? They are tested and working technology and I don't think there will be any shortage of parts any time soon
Comment from : @afonic

Yes i am minted as fuck but i want a bike that's compatible with what i own which means rim brakes Therefore looking at used
Comment from : @adrianvisentin534

Just replaced my aged old Cannondale Hi Mod with full campy super record mechanical after cracking the frame in 2 places, one too many crashes One of the best climbing and descending bikes I've ever ridden But time moves on, so I just purchased another Cannondale Supersix Hi Mod 1 for a great price After testing the likes of Trek Emonda and the Specialized S Works and the Pinarello Dogma could, not find enough discernible differences other than saving over $4,500 with the Cannondale(February is always a good month to buy a bike) brbrBottom line you won't and can't go wrong on any of the best manufacturers in today's world Look at aesthetics first,(one must always look good on one's bike, no matter how slow you are) price 2nd and third whether your significant other is going to kill you for purchasing something that could of been had for thousands of dollars less for a lesser model and always make sure you take out the trash Hammers have a way of falling on a bike should you not

No parts available for calipers, there's been untold millions of sets of calipers produced and still are being manufactured There's some serious BS sprouted regarding cycling 🤔🙄

I want a travel bike this year
Comment from : @michaelnee3692

want heavier bike and more maintenance - buy disc
Comment from : @Hobbot72

I don't like disc brakes on a road bike or electronic shifting And I don't want fat tyres on a road bike, who does?brbrI want rim brakes that are easy to adjust, mechanical gears that never go wrong ( I'm not a pro rider in a race with a back up crew ) and 23mm traditional road tyres, if I want fatter tyres, I'll ride the mountain bike 👍

Technology wins,rim brake bikes is out

looking to get my first Canyon Ultimate this year
Comment from : @huntedhunter

2:39 im a lenky 6’4”, I prefer a 58cm frame and 90mm stem regardless of fit I know damn well on reach I could go to a 120-130mm stem, and probably a 60cm frame set, but no brI like the more aggressive feeling of a slightly smaller setup, more control, agility etc
Comment from : @Ober1kenobi

I'm riding rim brake with 26mm Wider tyres are nice but that's literally the only thing going for disc brake bikes for me Will wear out my existing kit for a few more years and let let other mugs but this over priced stuff
Comment from : @RuffRides

Just recieved my new SL8 last saturday Cant wait to ride it in spring
Comment from : @Gufolicious

I took a 2023 Roubaix with mechanical 105, 11 speed and the ability to accept 35mm tyres, the discount was 38 the saving allowed me to purchase an indoor trainer to get ready for the new season, great video
Comment from : @Malyjurek

I still ride metal bikes with 7 or 8 speeds and down tube leversMy only carbon bike is the still excellent 2006 Scott CR1SL which last year I upgraded to Super Record 12 so I could have a 1:1 bottom gear Still it's threaded BB external cables, mechanical shifting and rim brakesI build and maintain my own bikes so like to keep it analogue

Comment from : @sventibold

I can’t see why I should spend money for overpriced roadbike or roadbike-stuff in 2024 I don’t care about what is „hot“ or the „latest sh*t“ I don’t need a new status symbol
Comment from : @Mas421

The latest industry scam is selling us tyres at £150 a pair
Comment from : @harrybbbb

Wait for the industry to solely use threaded bb‘s …for heaven’s sake!
Comment from : @bikemike1118

I am looking to upgrade to a new bike but I see a lot of issues with almost nobody can make a round bottom bracket I like BMC Teammachine srl01, new Cannondale Lab71, or Factor Ostro VAM but I am not sure about their ability to make a round bottom bracket
Comment from : @terrywalker7127

Fcuk the bike industry French-threaded steel frame, 19mm tubular tyres, rim brakes FOREVER!

1:53 Correction: the NUMBER of people AMOUNT of people only if you're selling HUMAN flesh at the local market, how gross!
Comment from : @savagepro9060

I got myself an endurance geometry road bike with 28mm tires and disc brakes in 2015 Sheesh Nothing new
Comment from : @shoham00

I’m a former track racer and I raced crits I still like to go fast but I actually think I’m done with plastic bikes, and I think internal routing is actually ugly!! I’m considering a bike from Fairlight or Mason or used
Comment from : @ptonewood

just put an order in for a new SLR7 Madone Yeah it’s expensive but I worked hard during Covid, so I saved up $$ It’s more of a want, than I need but if it gets me out there riding more it’s worth it
Comment from : @chrisball3412

Well my Madone SLR Gen 7 fit 32mm tires
Comment from : @Ghostina1

I think the Trek Domane Al2 is very good value for money as a first bikebrbrI purchased one new myself towards end of summer and very quickly fell into the "Upgrade trap" and bought new carbon wheels, 105 12 speed mechanical group set and redshift stem and seat postbrYes the upgrades definitely improved the bike but at the same time reminded me how good the basic bike was already
Comment from : @gmivisualsjason3729

It seems like the industry is getting rid of rim brake option all together Entry level roadbikes and even hybrid bikes mostly come with disc brake I wish the manufacturers keep rim brake option at least for beginners and casual risers, at lower cost It’s always good to have an option
Comment from : @권용대-b5v

But did you see how much stuff the pro riders got in EF team? Bring these companies have a glut of inventory They just aren't lowering prices because they'd be under water

You will always be on the wrong bike, according to the people that want to sell you your next bike

Comment from : @whizler

Its a pity to see the demise of campy 😢 Never been a big fan of it (thumb shifter) but it was a part of the sports avantguard Would love to see campag doing sth true to their nature - a beautyfull mechanical groupset that is a piece of art The things they’ve beed doing lately seems not genuine and forced
Comment from : @bartoszsawrymowicz4074

Actually, most of the world Tour pros are still riding 25s and 26s
Comment from : @Hogdog4343

Rim brakes and mechanical shifting for the win in 2024!
Comment from : @herculesrockefeller8969

I ride a 1987 Eddy Merckx (Columbus SLX) It still looks good and handles like dream - even though it has Downtube shifters and rim brakes It will only go as fast as I can pedal it No thanks to a new road bike!
Comment from : @chuckfrizzell8668

I just bought a new road bike and I still got an all aluminum 28c one with rim brakes because I will need to disassemble it a lot and travel with it for events
Comment from : @TheAttyjace

I want to buy my first road bike but on a tight budget I don't care about the geometry and groupset I'd ride anything but I don't want an aero wallet

Comment from : @ohnezuckerohnefett

I really wish it was more common for brands to make endurance bikes look a bit more exciting I want to be comfortable, but I also want a bike that looks exciting and begs to be ridden
Comment from : @mikeymike1792

my lbs cant move any of their stock, even basic bikes are 2x more than in 2019 time for a reckoning also lbs pushed disc brakes, etc because they mean can sell more services you dont need disc brakes for a basic commuter bike
