The question is, can you cycle up the Atlas Mountains on a £100 single speed city bike?

I started filming stuff in April 2016. Now we're travelling the world and filming it, I'd forget what I've done otherwise.

    Guys! You NEED to put your ratio in the inform text when you are posting singlespeed vids, please. Is it 48/16, 47/17 or what...people want to know...

    I've got a single speed, I get these shitty comments off cyclists all the time. The truth, they're just pissed off because they couldn't ride one, but seriously the simplicity of them is awesome. There's really something about them that super relaxing

    Been wanting to comment for a long while. Your videos are excellent (mate) your perspective is fresh and original. The videos are a much about the people in your community as the diverse cycling community. Just keep shooting.. Have google mapped some of your local Cafes (love London) Keep up with your shooting. Would like to share your wheel with you and you all sometime. (much like most of your audience would) Cheers from California!

    You are an animal, riding your single speed up a mountain is just insane. However it reminds me of when I use to ride my track bike around San Francisco back in my younger days of cycling. So I tip my hat to you, by the way the view looks great and good to see that you all are having a great time.

    so for years I've not cycled with a helmet (i know, i know)..I've now decided to do the right thing and get a lid but im not sure what im looking for. I ride everyday and often go on longer rides on the weekends. I'd really prefer a light weight and very low profile helmet. Can anyone give me some recommendations? Cheers chaps!

    Hey guys, I have a question about pedal thread size. So are pedal threads standardized like the same for mtb and road?

  • @robbyrne4651

    @robbyrne4651

    6 жыл бұрын

    Karlo Matić - yeah, they’re standard between road and mtb but they differ between USA and Europe. Europe use metric (10mm x 1mm) and USA generally use something called SAE (9/16" x 20 tpi).

    I wanted to know what he is using too. So the 48x16 is too hard I was considering getting that, is it just climbing or hard on the flats as well?

    greeneking77 Is good on the flats as I find the bike really pulls but really hard up steep hills. Some people can do it tho. I am using 48x18 now and is abit easier but not as fast on flats.
