Curious about using TT bars on a gravel bike? In this video, I take my gravel setup to the next level by adding TT bars and share my first impressions! From aerodynamics and comfort to handling on rough terrain, I test how these bars change the ride experience. Are TT bars worth it for gravel? Watch to find out

CYCLING 112km to my FAVOURITE Place in SPAIN
Переглядів 1852 місяці тому
In this video, I take on my first 100km ride from Bilbao to Elantxobe, and let’s just say, it was brutal. I push through the challenging hills and gruelling distance, dropping more than a few f-bombs along the way. On the way back, I meet a helpful local named Maitane, who basically becomes my human GPS. When I reached Elantxobe, the breath-taking seaside views make the suffering almost worth i...

Join me as I climb 700 meters from Bilbao into the mountain of La Arboleda! La Arboleda is a beautiful little town up in the mountains on the outskirts of Bilbao. It's very similar to the New Forest in the UK, where the animals roam free. I climb up some really steep gradients, 11%, 14% & more. The scenery along the route was as beautiful as they come!

    This is the camera I've used on my channel for years now. I've attempted to "upgrade" to a few other cameras a few times and always ended up sending them back (either the video quality wasn't good enough, or such a miniscule improvement that I couldn't justify the cost.) When I do my talking head shots, I set the camera in manual focus, and tap to focus on my phone with the Panasonic app. It eliminates the focus jumping, but for photos, I've never had a single problem with autofocus.

What one can accomplish professionally with this format is amazing, and much more affordable than anything else on the market… 🤔
