When a roadie gets a long travel mtb
What does a roadie do when they get a long travel mountain bike like the Specialized Stumpjumper Evo? Chances are they'll spend a lot of time pedaling.

    Great video. I’ve just got an Aethos Pro with Roval Rapide wheels and am considering a future cockpit upgrade like yours. Are you happy with your Alpinist cockpit or would you go for the more aero Rapide version if you had the choice?

    I love my Aethos, I also have a Trek Madone SLR and the Aethos with the same wheels as your bike is just as fast as the Madone Aero bike with myself riding it and way more comfortable, plus climbs better than the fat Madone, most riders don’t need aero optimised bikes, it makes me laugh when I see aero bikes, with deep wheels but loads of spacers under the stem and the shifters turned up 😂 thinking the aero bike makes them fast 😂🙈🤪

  • @chrismccannIRL

    Excellent work on the video and review. I’m curious - I’ve just ordered an S Works Aethos to replace my S Works SL6. Neither will have integrated cables but the SL6 has some aero tubes (not bar or stem). I’m hoping that with a wheel swap like you’ve done and either an integrated rapide cockpit or aero bar I’ll get those aero gains back somewhat to lesson the impact of going non aero. I’m a fast rider, love a sprint and descents but don’t race. Regularly like sitting on the front of the group churning out 350w for a few minutes at 35/40kmh. I’ve probably bought the wrong bike for that but hey I wanted something different too lol

    Can totally relate as a fellow roadie. Have SPD pedals on my mountain bike and cycle to my nearest creek a few miles away to get my off-road "fix" about once a month. It's nice to roll over just about anything on 29's. It's an upper body workout as well.

    Which year is your R? I see the label on the box says it’s for 2016 to 2019 years, but on their website they only list it as fitting 2018/2019. WTF? I’ve got a 2016 and when I contacted them, they said it would not fit because the rear facia on the bumper changed in 2018… if the attachment points are the same, I figured worst case, the trimming required might be a little bit different on the older models, but it would still fit. Confused!
