Hey I decided to buy the Carrera Subway. It’s the first bike I have ever
fallen in love with, like driving a jag compared to a ford sierra, it’s
just an awesome hybrid bike! Am looking forward to getting out there….:D
Bought my first road bike a Cannondale CAAD8 from Evans here in the UK
after about the first 20 miles the left pedal fell off checked the crank
and it had been cross threaded, really fucking annoyed took it back to the
shop got a full refund and the mechanic who had assembled the thing managed
to unscrew the right pedal by hand. bottom line is that big chain bike
shops like Evans are fucking useless.
Only thing with the powertap is that its stuck in one wheel. A lot a racers
use different wheelsets for different situations, so if you want your power
output all the time, the crankbased powermeter is better. But then again
the powertap is less expensiveand as effective, so in my mind its a matter
of how much can you afford.
Hi I’m trying to buy a new bike, I’m torn between a carrera subway and
carrera valour, subway has more gears. But I’m not that experienced so is
it worth it it? Plus the valour has these suspension forks, are they worth
it? Would love your advice, I’m just a noob on these things….
your seat height is going to change due to ones ass getting smaller or
bigger. Go back and tell them your situation. They will help you out. 🙂
You don’t need to buy new parts typically.
You can win the tour de france on 105. Its your watts per kg that matters
when climbing. Get a stages cycling power meter instead of upgrading your
groupset.
Thanks for advise, your man! Can you please make a video explain shimano
group set. I have alloy roadie 105 I want to upgrade dura ace group for
racing. Thanks
Im not a cadence finatic. I ride for the love of just being outside and
some good cardio. Changing gears…. Do you guys strip the grease off
chains and run a dry lube ?
the intro is not good. you say that we dont need to buy carbon bikes yet
almost all of your bikes are carbon!!! how come? this is so hypocritical.
the truth is : aluminium sucks, carbon = awesome. BUY CARBON BIKES , they
are so much better than fucking aluminium…
Bad ass vid-intro… You mentioned bike fit; what if you got fitted when
you weighed 210Lbs. and you now weigh 170Lbs? Is the fit still good or is
it like having to buy new pants after loosing so much weight?
People that start cycling buying a reasonably cheap bike, don’t spend more
than that for a powermeter. They might get a cheap cycle computer to start
with. I do agree that you don’t need to spend more than 1500$ to get a
nice, reliable and efficient bike
Will definitely be going up hills, living in China atm. The way he said it
is 28 couldn’t be installed. I looked on a site for the bike spec it says..
Cassette: Shimano 105 5700, 12-27, 10-speed
A 1000$ bike with a power meter is better for training, but a 10000 bike
without a power meter is better for racing. Oh and can you do a vid on the
mid foot clear position, you’ve got going on
which explains why they have so many returning customers

That’s weird. I have got a CAAD10 too and I changed from 25 to 28.

The intro is cool but a bit long!
