    As someone who has worked a customer service position at DTW for 17 years now, I had always assumed customs and border protection required the airport to provide luggage carts to all passengers processing through customs as all who process through are required to collect all of their checked baggage for possible inspection. The cart provider does have a little machine in the customs area that I assume keeps tally off all the carts going in and out of the customs area. There is no guaranteed revenue from the machines in the domestic terminal but they would have guaranteed revenue whenever there are overseas flights. I had been told by somebody that the cost from the customs area carts is tacked onto the ticket fare of every passenger on those international flights.

    I have used a B17 for almost a decade (a couple of tens of thousands of kms at least) and a Berthoud Aravis for about five years and over 40k kms. Both are similarly comfortable but the Aravis doesn't seem to have softened as much as the B17. I love the fact that one can rebuild a Berthoud so that gives it an edge in value over the Brooks. I would not hesitate to buy either one again.

    • @spinningtrue
      @spinningtrue 12 днів тому

      I think that this is because the leather on the Berthoud is so incredibly thick, it's way thicker than the leather on the Brooks and Brooks leather is already way thicker than the leather on most other saddles such as Selle Anatomica or Velo Orange.

    If these tents are really free standing, why do you need any stakes? Especially in non-storm conditions.

    • @spinningtrue
      @spinningtrue 13 днів тому

      To me free standing means that it holds its shape without needing any ropes or anything else external so I guess you don't technically need them but I think the tent will deform a little and move around slightly if it's not staked down.

For new, I'd suggest both State Bike Company and Brooklyn Bike Company. Good lines and decent prices with some steel bikes and more traditional designs. Marin Bikes in California are more progressive with designs but they make some really good hybrids for dirt, gravel and street riding. Hard to go wrong with a hybrid. Easy to spend too much though.

    @jasonraleigh8893 22 дні тому

    I’m confused with you. I spent 30 minutes in REI and bought this tent 10/27/24, and I feel I already understand it better than you. I watched your previous video on this tent. 10 years since your last tent, explains a lot. Yet sadly again, all experienced tent users collectively slap their foreheads at your complaints and comments. Watching your videos, I spend half the time asking are you really that stupid, or are you just trying to punk Big Agnes. I even begin to feel you may work for a competitor of Big Agnes cause the vocabulary you use is not from someone who has little experience with tents, yet you complain about everything and then moments later say “Oh but this is cool over here.” It’s like you’re trying to hard to make the impression like this tent is badly designed yet you paid $600 for it and didn’t return it. The not wanting to cut the plastic ties in footprint of your first video speaks volumes… Now about the awesome tent, there are clearly two different ends red/orange, and silver/gray. Less is more. Less to overthink when tired and it’s raining, as you put it. The tiny bits of silver on the red are reflective fabric to see the tent in the dark while wearing a headlamp. As for the straps on the top of the fly, don’t try to confuse other people, it’s simple, they’re to hang stuff to dry or hang other camping gear so it’s off the ground. The small end of the tent is for your feet, larger end for your shoulders/head (common tent knowledge). Eight stakes come with the tent. Four for the footprint and base (bug net). And Four are for the fly. The poles ends from the tent are intended to go through the grommets of the base and through the grommets of the footprint. Then the pinch snaps buckles everything together on all four corners, and stake everything down using four stakes not all eight (which you complain about yet someone with common tent knowledge would immediately get this) Again how I feel your acting like this is confusing to punk Big Agnes. I didn’t finish watching this second video as your (non-camping) tent knowledge followed with high camping vocabulary comments were just raising red flags about your reasons for this video. thumbs down on you FAKE review.

    If you want to boil your water fast drop the trangia down in the nano without the pins in. That’s why I said you should watch some videos. By the way it works in freezing temperatures when a gas stove won’t. I have been using a trangia for over 30 years. The same one. You should learn to use the product before you make a video about because most everything you said was wrong!

      Frees up one hand so you can use two to get your tape ready.

    I had a spirit burner when I was in the scouts. I don’t think I ever used it for camping. Yes, quite slow to boil or cook.

      Yeah it's slow but it's very peaceful, definitely the quietest stove option

    I still have my old primus omnifuel from 1999 and a refillable gas bottle. The cost difference if I had to buy one now is amazingly huge, between that and the tangia, which seems to have the slow boil as the only con.

      Yeah I've done some more research apparently they're good at high elevations too, they do boil slower in cold weather though.

    Are you still getting the shimmying in the steering. I'm looking at this bike to replace my old Peugeot for commuting. I saw in a video a couple years ago when you returned from Europe you mentioned shimmying in the front end when weighed down. It's one of the reasons I was looking to replace the Peugeot; it shimmys with my rear panniers filled

      Hiya, you know what I did not really notice it at all on my last bike trip but I couldn't really say for sure whether that is me becoming used to the bike or the issue being fixed. My gut is telling me that having less weight in the front helps. I will try to do a test and see if I can replicate this again but no promises it's going to be difficult to find the time to do this. My current understanding of bike geometry is that bikes with either really high trail or really low trail are best for heavy front loads and that bikes with medium trail will tend to be less stable, and I think that this is more of a mid trail bike so probably not quite as stable as some other options out there. With that being said it's absolutely definitely 100% something you get used to and compensate for when riding the bike. Hope this helps?

      Here is another long shot thought: are you located anywhere near me (Michigan)?

    • @BrandonS350
      @BrandonS350 Місяць тому

      @@spinningtrue Unfortunately, I am not close. I measured my old Peugeot and put the numbers into Bike Insights. The trail numbers end up being the same at 47, with the Peugeot being quite a bit more aggressive fit being a road bike at heart. There’s no rush to go test this, I know people’s time is very valuable. I was just wondering if you had noticed it or not since you originally mentioned it.

      ​@@BrandonS350 I definitely remember it being a big issue for me when I was first riding the bike / filmed that video you watched... one thing I have also come to realize is that the Fairlight Faran is really more of a road-derived gravel / touring bike as opposed to something like the Stooge Rambler, which I have not finished building yet but which is really something more of a drop bar mountain bike. They might feel totally different with weight on the front but I just don't have enough experience right now to say. I'll do my best to get back to you or make a video.

    Interesting long-term review and personal opinions. Would have loved to get a bit more in depth review ... I don't think it's a problem to stick the red part of the pole in the "darkorange" part of the tent or the silver part pf the pole into the grey part of the tent. I don't think there is much of a intellectual translation process to do or a lot of room for user mis-interpretations. I understand that under extrem conditions thats annoying. Is this really an issue of the design? How to anodize aluminium in the same color of plastics anyway? Taste or the choice of color coding/combinations makes it not a 'bad design', perse. If people want to find something, they will find something. What about the other parts of the design? Packing/Unpacking? Packabilty? Reliability? Repairability (parts still available)? Washability? Noises (in wind/rain or while sleeping)? Dry time? Usability (netings and pockets)? What is your real (and complete) verdict on those topics? I'm curious to know! Greetings Ben

      Thanks for the comment! Ok I'll keep what you said in mind and may do another video about it but all of the things you mentioned with this tent are totally fine, as I think they should be for a tent that retails around $500 or so. It is a very nice tent to sleep in, it's definitely waterproof and it packs like pretty much any tent I've used with the caveat that it being asymmetrical means that you can't simply fold it in half but have to fold it in on itself first, but I think that most tents are like that these days. I think I also did mention that it's a light tent for it's size which is a plus. I guess I could have mentioned that the bag is nothing special but it does the job and I have no complaints about the functionality and performance of the tent as a shelter, my issue is that at this price level I think that some little details have just been either overlooked or intentionally not accounted for at the expense of design. I get that it's not a big deal to everyone but I really think that when you're out in the woods the little things can become incredibly annoying, in the case of this tent that's the fact that you can't really undo the buckle that holds the doors open one handed or without looking at it and the colors that make it inconvenient/not 100% intuitive to pitch.

    17:35 did make me cringe slightly with the tyre levers but at the same time I do get it - when I first started working at a bike shop I was defeated by many a tyre mainly kevlar lined 700 x 25mm but there is a few tricks to make it slightly easier • too much air in the tube will make it impossible to do with hands alone, id only inflate it prior to fitting just enough for it to barely hold an oval shape l • make sure the first bead you have put on is sitting in the centre of the rim (the deepest part of the rim) this should give you a few mm extra slack in the tyre • as you start getting the second bead on 3/4 way around the rim id let the smallest amount of air out of the tube • at this point id try to push the inner tube alone into the centre of the rim and then the tyre (kind of poke the side of your hand between the tyre and the tube and attempt to get it over the lip of the rim) • at this point if it doesn’t pop on easy enough then id put the part of the tyre that is yet to be seated against the floor, check again to make sure the beads are in the centre of the rim and then almost grab and push the tyre downwards almost as if you are trying to stretch it and just as you get to the unseated part of the tyre keep hold of the tyre to not release the tension you have created and then bring it into your lap (while standing) form this point it should be somewhat smooth sailing especially with a wider tyre by working either side with the palm of your hands it should just pop on - having stable / strong wrists definitely helps and the muscle on the ball of your thumb will definitely ache if its a exceptionally tight fit After 6 months of working at a cycle shop I had the technique down and was rarely beaten by a tyre and the look on a customers face when they came in with a half fitted tyre claiming it to be the wrong size and I pop it on in 15 seconds is priceless Probably sound like a right nerd but this is best practice to not puncture inner tubes / deform or kink a bead If you have any interest in learning to do it by hand practice on a 29 x 2ish or 26 x 2ish tend to be the easiest although isn’t strictly true - manufacturing tolerances and all that jazz Great video, beautiful bike and hope this “ slightly above useless information “ helps
