Which model of the shoe would you recommend, leather or microfiber? Deciding between the two for endurance gravel racing here in the US. Cheers!
.... And I wouldn't bother with a 'Classified' rear hub.... my mate's got one.... He wish it hadn't.
I have this bike - in the same colour.... Unfortunately, I've still got it.... had a few problems with it...firstly, it looks great and is a head turner, and is (for me) very comfy to ride.... However, the built quality is really poor.... Had so many issues with the headset coming loose after any off road gravel stuff. The cap is plastic and if you try to tighten it.... it cracks!! SO, it never gets really secure - very poor (had to order a couple of new head tube caps - An absolute pain) Secondly, with regard to the mudguards... I purchased Ridley's own brand to fit the bike..... only problem is that the thread on the front fork is useless and the bolt sheared off - can't fit them now! Lastly I had a problem with the extractor bolt on the crank set.... it came off!! No idea when! Was cleaning it one day and noticed it had gone!. Checked photos I took after first couple of rides - it was there.... then just came off at some point... No idea where.... Obviously it was never fitted correctly. LBS sorted it after ordering replacements from SRAM... However, had a dreadful going on with 2pedalz who sold me the bike... Just dreadful to deal with - never get hold of them, staff always promising the main man would ring back - he never did.... problems not their fault etc etc. Buying this bike was a bad decision - (and I've not touched on the terrible problem I had with the order process! All sorts of unbelievable excuses on why my order was late... From 'Classified' pinched my order from the factory for a demo day to 'someone has lost it in the Ridley new factory!! - 2 months late and lots os waffle and made up stories....) Should have avoided the bike and avoided 2Pedalz and purchased a Canyon gravel bike - better value for money, better quality and a better all round bike! Simples!
Road biker: my shoulder is flexing and creating wind resistance :( Mountain biker: on climbs and ascents my shoulders are at sub-optimal angles :( Dirt jumper: You guys still have biological shoulders?
My shoulder is fine, it’s the knee and forearm with metal plates 😂
This cyclist has an leg length difference
What about being on the hoods?
why would you want to relax below the belly button? That would be disengaging your core, which should be stabilising your hips and spine
But im comfortable on my parallel hoods 😢
Long and low crew 😅
Finally a bike fit video I can sit through, only I didn’t hear a word he said!
Wing tape or hinge tape from the RC glider/aeroplane world is a much nicer finish than electrical tape. Wing tape comes in many colours, hinge tape is clear. RC helicopter main blade balancing tape is also a good option over e-tape. E-tape is a povo option for a sweet finish on a nice bike.
Some of us have extra wide feet. I'm betting that this so-called wide shoe would squish my feet and chafe my toes. You don't mention what width you wear (or should wear). I have some older "wide" Lake shoes and they're uncomfortable. It's sad that this modestly wide shoe is all the industry offers.
Other measuring devices are available
Just ride your bike ffs.
Wrap the tape neatly, then run around the bar with a sharp blade.
No, I don't see any delts. Lol. I only see a weak, frail bicyclist.
Good brake pooling tip!
HE HAS NO EDUCATION....THESE BIKEFITTER IS JUST SCAMMERS!
What lake shoe model you’re using?
It depends on lever.. i also use the wrong way you said.. . And it is one of the rigth grip when my track is in irregulr quality.. hehehe
am i understanding this properly? the bike is too big - he needs better hip mobility to get lower and able to reach farther ahead (when he was told to relax he barely moved down) and having a shorter stem would help mitigate some issue of the bike being too long he can't raise the seat and straighten out his leg much more so he'd have to get shorter crank? what about seat forward? will that throw off his knee alignment during gait of his movement?
What?!
Electrical tape doesn't sit very well and often comes off over time. Use cloth tape to have it stick better and feels better on your hands!
Does 105 Di2 have this?
Wow❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m old. Hoods used to be a lot smaller when they were just brake levers.
I am a Scot who raced at International level and never had a Bike fit in my Life !
Just an extra lane for people tryna to make some money haha
Hydraulic brake GRX version have the same adjustment there.
I do 1000w
Seat is too low. Raise it to proper height will stretch upper body over the bike.
Way too low
Increasing seat height will increase reach even more
Needs to be higher right …. He has to be parallel with the ground when he reaches for the handle bars. If he isn’t in super man position, then it’s too low
And now the hoods are not comfortable. Where the majority of people spend most of their time.
Precisely...
This video is confusing
going too fast on the explanation
His stem isn’t too long
It absolutely is, his arms are basically locked out. Shorter stem would be more aero anyway
It’s not too long.
Fkin' roadies 😂
I know im a mtber and this is so confusing lol
Thanks for the great videos. The best source for information on Lake shoes! Could you do a video on how to select for shoe length and specially width for Lake shoes? I don't have any dealer near me to try them on.
I coulda told him for free he looks too stretched out 😂😂
Riiiiight Just so you know people there is no right or wrong way to do it, just do it the way you want
Hey bud 105 shifters they suck
I'm thinking about this model or Lake MXZ304, does anyone know the major differences between those ? Aside of low temperature, I need my shoes to be also 99% waterproof, so I could also use those in case of wet winter conditions balancing between 1 and -3, heavily raining weather. Sometimes at the beginning of my routes it rains, and at the end in the evening it gets really cold so my shoes needs to fit for those situations. I really highly appreciate your reviews 🫶🏻
Seen no change but in his 50p coin slot on his back! Get a shorter stem
🤥🤥🤥🤥
Thnx
Do not tear your tape, but cut it. If you tear, you make the tape longer and thinner, which reduces its adhesive strength.
Jajaja NOOOOO
Hi Dougie, I'm Iooking for a MTB clipped shoe in a wide model, stiff sole, cleat mount for aggressive riding/jumping, if you have recommendations on a shoe you have in stock in 43.5 or 44 in Lake or other brands I'll check them out and order. Favorite shoe to date is the Specialized clip lite 2FO ~ 2019 which has a much stiffer sole than the newer 2FO models. Cheers, Jim
the music :D
Does it have the option to route cables NOT through the stem? Are there ports on the nondriveside headtube for semi-internal routing?
Stop zooming in god dam it
Your reach looks 50mm too long
너무 많이 감은거 아닌가?😊
