What makes you recommend going with the carbon? The G4 seems like good value. You get 90 percent of the bike for 50 percent of the outlay. Weight an issue you think?

Thank you Femme Cyclist for this amazing interview! Lael is an example of integrity and honesty that the world needs. 99% of comments are positive from others with integrity and honesty. The 1% haters are some sad people who have to try to hurt others to feel good. They really need help and we can only hope they find it someday. But your positive energy is so infectious and you have inspired me to try bike camping. Thanks so much!! Success on your around the world trip, I’m following you using Rapha and you are near Fountain Valley right now. I am looking forward to the video from your wife Rue after the race and you success at breaking the record 🎉😂😊

The biggest struggle with this bike we had were the brakes. They're under engineered for the bike's weight and speed such that they'd wear out very quickly. I'd end up bringing the bike to the shop asking them to adjust, it'd be good for a few days, then weak af again....the pads were wearing down that fast. IMO they should have used a wider disc and hydraulic instead of mechanical actuators. Otherwise my wife loves the bike...too bad a most important feature is the weak link.

This did not work for me-any other suggestions?

Ma'am, with modern metallurgy and manufacturing techniques, the thinner hole a Presta valve can use is less of an advantage. Decades ago, the smaller hole was important on road bike wheel rims; now, with modern metallurgy, this is less important. Two, you can deflate Schrader valve equipped tires. The women out there can use their longer nails. If you don't have long nails, then you can use the little stud that's often found on tire pressure gauges; if the valve cap has a pointy shape, this can be used too. Three, one can use a Schrader valve on a wheel originally designed for a Presta valve. How? Drill it out! Four, I wouldn't recommend installing a Presta valve on a wheel originally designed for a Schrader valve; even with the locknut, the valve can move around the larger hole. Five, both Presta and Schrader valves are sprung; i.e. you have to depress the valve to release air. Finally, there are some long Schrader valves out there; they come on inner tubes or as valve stems for tubeless tires.

You should remove the tires, remove the old sealant from tires and rims, and inspect the rim tap before adding fresh sealant.

I wish I had known about these bikes before I bought my specialized. I paid way more and got less. Oh well, now I know. Thanks for the video.

A bike thief's dream!

Only $6000. Highly affordable!

She is a real inspiration. I wish I had her mind set. All the best for your round the world record.

Thanks, can't wait to get one of these in my shop.

Damn "we" got it easy ... 😂

She is such a sweet person and so motivating

Omg thank u so much u just made this so easy for me to understand

I ended up buying the hydration pack by Source. Much better and a little cheaper. Insulated hydration section, better hydration system that stays CLEAN. Better designed and better made. I use it everyday on my long dog walks in the Middle East and it’s like my portable home. I keep food, water, tools, dog equipment, and a portable charger that could last me and my wife 24 hours in a shelter. I would stop off and buy another without a second thought in between jobs if it broke. Money in the bank purchase. The best in its class by far. One of the best designed products I’ve ever had.

Would you say this will work well for hiking aswell? Or would you suggest against it? I see it being advertised for biking everywhere so that makes me doubt if I should get it. Will use it for long walks/hiking only.

Thank you! I couldn't get the pump to stay on the valve and discovered I was flipping the lever the wrong way! 👍

Great interview! I'll be following along with Lael and wishing her well. Loved your stories of being a woman and riding; I think we all have a lot of them... it would be fun to share a bunch of them sometime. Safe travels!!

After watching your video on changing a tubeless tire it convince me to stay with a tube it’s a lot faster and a lot easer . Keep them

Instead of wearing anything, why not do it naked? More fun.

Great interview and I will be cheering Lael on as she travels the world by bike. Safe travels 💞

Anyone know what helmet she’s using?

I did visit the site channel. Your video is excellent. and content quality is high-resolution which is very well. But I can see your channel subscribers and video views are very low. your videos are not getting enough engagement.

It doesn't need de-greased if it's rusted.

The audio is really bad 🤦🏽‍♂️

Thank you! I’m 52-it’s about time I learned to pump up my own tires. 👍👏

regards two pedals

Thank you!

you could upgrade the gearing to have a three by front crank

You are one amazing, wise woman - looking forward to following this adventure.

Very helpful, I was looking for an alternative to cardboard because it is not easy to find everywhere.

Sitting on a stack of two of three cardboard layers - the thick corrogated type - also shows the indent clearly. Knees slightly raised in critical.

Wish they explained the random extra 20 added at the end?

this is brilliant! thanks a lot!

Question…..and yes this is absolutely genuine…..is this the same for a male? I struggle with finding the right seat and every bike shop I know won’t let me try one!

Or get an Enviolo CVT, automatique or Rohlhoff e-shift.

Question: I get the measurement , but as you sit where does the sitbones position on the saddle or just before wide part of the saddle ? Is the wide part the saddle to support you butt and the sitbones before the curve part of the saddle ?

People tend to lean forward when they sit on a saddle especially on a road bike, so the sit bone width you are actually sitting on (with the pelvis tilted forward whilst on a bike) is a few centimetres less based on the triangular shape of the pelvis. Sitting vertical upright is only a rough guide. I'd take off a couple of centimeters to take forward pelvic tilt to the narrower part of the saddle sit bones into consideration then add 20 mm, or simply just not add 20 mm at all to the upright sitting measurement.

tin foil? what's that?

Shopping by bike is one of my most stress free and convenient ways to shop. The bike does the hauling instead of me and even if I just take a back pack and bungee cords (bike rack fitted) I can carry a lot. When I want to be more organised and carry more, I use panniers. I have the option of added stuff up front too. For a lot of stuff or heavy stuff then there's my Burley Travoy trailer, that can be taken instore to load up groceries or goods, rolled out and quickly attached to my bike. If I feel that where I'm going to has been subject to too much bike theft then I can take my trailer and use a public rental bike share. The quick fit hitch works with any bike including rentals. The trailer folds down small for storage. I don't have to take out the trailer often since I just get stuff regularly every couple of days on my work commute. I also have many shops within a 5 minute walk from home where it's too near to cycle unless I take a long loop ride then shop at the end.

Well…that was an easy fix! Thank You!!

Thank You! A VERY HELPUL video. Got a new ebike & the seat is killing my “sit bones”. This will help me in a new seat purchase!!

Just to be sure, this works both for women and men, right? Thank you and happy women's day!

'promo sm' 🎶

Love this lady, so inspiring!❤ ps. Do we know what bike she'll be riding on around the world on?😊

Unfortunately not compatible with the couplings in Germany. And unfortunately the bike carrier is not foldable.

The dog made me subscribe. 😊

2 minutes in and I feel a bit smart. Exactly what I was looking for :-)

My chain is one of these ua-cam.com/video/2uW3dxIHXK0/v-deo.html which are quite rust resistant . Silca Synergetic is one of the best wet lubricants and amongst the products tested by Zero Friction Cycling . UA-cam won't let me link directly to the test data but it is a treasure trove of a site. The sliding surfaces inside a chain are where the friction matters and you can't scrub rust off in there. The outer chain plates do not contact anything except when you change gear and then mostly the ends of the pins. The outer surface of the chain rollers are locked in a static position when they contact the sprockets so do not rub once engaged with the sprockets. The inside of the rollers are a sliding surface ( with the pins / bushings) but you can't clean those by scrubbing. If you've got light rust I would not worry. Remember that friction implies that surfaces will be worn and the rust will get polished away. Heavy rust is a different matter and the Citric acid in the limes will likely pit the metal at a microscopic level. It gets converted into water soluble Iron Citrate that you can wash off your chain. You are actually removing chain material and not converting it back into metal. Modern chains are made to break at about 8000 Newtons ( roughly 800Kg or 1800lb weight ) and people use these on 750 Watt E-bikes which are brutal on chains compared to a normal cyclist. For chain tensile testing see ua-cam.com/video/b05LxsuD1WQ/v-deo.html. Its a long video. I've only snapped one chain in 30 years and it was worn well past its replacement point. Of course you can be unlucky and get a chain with a manufacturing defect.

I'd try from my place over Ute Pass Colorado to ride into silverthorne with Lael. I don't even have bike but getting to train and ride the GDMBR one day.
