Tire size? Do you happen to know the biggest tire it can fit?

Washboarding is the worst. We have a lot of that here in Colorado. What tire pressure are you running?

How did you route the brake cables from the levers to the callipers while hiding them under the gripband?

This is a year old but beedback: work on your audio, this is not audible. One min into it I had to bail out. Mind that most people listen to UA-cam videos, not watch.

Nice. Only thing left missing is the stash 😅

👍 fantastic!!!!

Hows the durability on the hg200?? I choose to commute by bike rather than car so I do a lot of miles and use it everyday.

ugly shifters btw

"Just pedal harder" put that on a t-shirt

I love my master tg but it's black. It looks damn good but that pink is badass! Great looking bike man!

I’m here for the moles-tache

Are these short reach levers? If not, are they adjustable to shorten the reach as I have small hands

As a long legged short torsoed human I really appreciate those bars. Could actually make my my saddle and handlebars almost even.

Just subscribed to your channel, and from your recommendation will purchase HG200 for my Trek FX. What chain are you running with the new cassette?

Would aero bars make sense on these?

How do you not lose balance when shifting. I hace a peugeot bike and i hace to hunch over a lot to reach the gears. Then i almost lose balance

Are you rocking a 52/42 upfront?! If so, you’re a madman! 😎🫡

Honestly, you should try Campagnolo EKAR. The quality and their thumb button works really, really well.

She's awful purdy! Also, Michelin has spoken

I added the redshift top self bar , cruise control grips, and stem to my trek checkpoint. I love the shorter reach i get from the rise of the bars and shorter stem. The cruise control grips let me ride without gloves, which saves my hands from sweating. In all the kit was expensive but well worth the change. Im 55 and just ride for pleasure and exercise, I don't race and have no plans to , i just like to enjoy the ride.

For those gravel roads , maybe add the Redshift shock stem?

I put these bars on my bike and I love them. It does effect the geometry of the seat position so you will have to adjust that.

I have an early 80s model FUJI, love it, it rides well

Thanks! It was very helpful.

I have two vintage road bikes, both of which have downtube shifters. I have a Marukin M-420 that I bought new in June of 1986. The frame is Ishiwata 025 CroMo, and it has a nice, sturdy feel to it as you ride. It has Suntour ARx front and rear derailleurs, clamp-on Suntour downtube shifters, a Sakae 53/39 crankset, and the original Dia Compe brakes. I've had it overhauled/refurbished twice since I've had it. The first time was 1999-2000; at that time, I swapped out the original chrome steel wheels for brushed aluminum CyclePro Wheel Works rims, and swapped out the original six speed cogset for a seven speed cogset. The overall gearing is the same; it merely has one more step. Then, I had it overhauled again when I put it back on the road this past spring. My second vintage road bike, which I purchased from the LBS earlier this year, is a 1986 Cannondale ST-500 in a beautiful azure blue metallic. If it hadn't been that color, I could've passed on it, but no, it wasn't just blue, my favorite color; it was my favorite shade of blue, so I had to get it! I love just sitting downstairs and admiring it. The LBS owner took it in on trade, but it was too big for the owner; as a result, it was hanging from the ceiling hooks. I asked if I could try it on. It fit, so I asked him if I could give it a home. He said yeah, and I had it overhauled too. It was the first year that Cannondale installed the Shimano 600 groupset on this bike. It has brazed on downtube shifter bosses, and the Shimano 600 shifters are a work of art. It has a 48/44/28 crank up front, and a six speed cogset on the rear. Though Cannondale says that the ST-500 is one of their touring bikes and not a racing bike, it FEELS racy to me! That bike is a work of art, and it's a hoot to ride! I have two MTBs too, though I'd call them ATBs now with the way I set them up and use them. They both have indexed shifting. While I appreciate it, I find myself shifting all the time to perfectly dial in my cadence. Whereas when I ride the road bikes with their downtube shifters, I find myself asking: is this shift REALLY necessary? Can I tough it out for a short distance, either climbing or descending, in the present gear? Can I wait a few seconds to shift? If I'm on a short incline that will flatten out again, I'll often just stay in the higher gear for a few seconds. It's fascinating how technology impacts and changes our behaviors.

If anyone wants to learn something about no clutch setups take a look at an old Spindatt video where he talks about 1x conversions using different methods.

I also confirm you don't need a clutch as I ride really rough washboard roads using an Alivio which is one up from Acera. Not a single mark on my chainstay from chain slap🥲 Really liking your photography work especially at the start where you ride out on to the road.

really want these bars for my single speed/fixed gear (I run more on single, though fixie is fun on occasion) steel frame bike. getting a little older at 52 (this month) so riding a bit more upright would really help me. will be nice to have to only worry about brake levers with these since I am running single speed. would like to try out some compression-less housing when I make the switch.

I really want to get these bars now for my next gravel build.

no I haven't have a clutch on anything but my newest MTB, never really had a problem.

on that old Banchi I have, I also have the thumb shifter. I can reach if from the drops but I do have to sort of lift my hand a bit to get to it, but really I'm not shifting from the drops too often on such a bike.

Still no stash bro.....maybe next video. On a serious note, I ought to try these out too. Looks comfortable and suitable for long days.

I probably mentioned this in a previous comment on one of your earlier videos, but I am running an Alivio 7 spd rear derailleur with a 12 spd mtb crankset that has a NW 32t chainring. I haven't had one issue with shifting or chain drop, which I think is due to a decent spring pressure on the derailleur, a NW chainring, and a good quality chain. The place a clutched derailleur is best suited is definitely off-road when trail riding on an mtb. My 26er "Frankengravel" works flawlessly and I have found myself riding it more than my hardtail or road bike.

do you use cable housing/tubing or is it running straight through the metal guides in the frame?

how many mm js the stem

I have a set of those brakes also, Tried to use them on my State 4130, but the rear of that bike is too tall for those. I really liked them on my BrandX RD01 1x11 (decommissioned).

Hot music track,excellent looking bike.💯👌🏻🚲

Get some Gevenalle friction shifters..awesome.

Siiick build! Really dig it! Aloha from similarly hot days Oahu! 🫵🏼🤙🏻

Me gusta!

What shifter are you using sir?

Very Nice Fuji!! I love the way you have it set up to be original. Reminds me of my 1985 Fuji Opus III with full Superbe Pro

Man Im sorry you had to sell your Diamondback, she was beautiful. I myself had to break down and buy a Brooks B17, no regrets. Keep the content coming, you’re doing great.
