The value of the Rockbros pair is really good tbh.

How do you find a slow leak if you cannot inflate beyond about 8 PSI?

Ive been riding Ryet saddles for 2 month and so far I like it. Very comfortable and light :)

It's not as if you can purchase multiple saddles for review given the high cost, no one is giving out free samples of saddles worth hundreds of dollars.! Your going to be limited to hit and miss and it's likely going to be a damn expensive exercise until you get it right....I speak from unwanted experience.

In the year since this vid came out, TPU prices have crashed. I bought 2 Cyclami tubes for $17 (Amazon). They came with 4 "instant" patches. The process of installing them is somewhat different from butyl or latex, as the tubes are less elastic but more slippery. I found that pre-inflating was helpful, but, as the tire was worked on, I needed to release a little air to make it easy to tuck the tube up inside the casing. By an underinflation error, I got a snakebite flat on day 3. With careful use of the alcohol wipe and careful handling of the patch to avoid touching the adhesive surface, the instant patch adhered perfectly. 2 weeks later, it holds air perfectly.

I think it would be better if you sand the surface a little for better adhesion, a glossy or smooth surface won't stick well.

Good analysis. Ceramic looks like a choice for low maintenance consistent performance.

Great information. HyperGlide is more than just a trademark. I ride both SRAM and Shimano electronic group sets. Shimano shifts better or smoother. I’ve purchased a zitto cassette for my SRAM bike I’m gonna test it when it arrives. My concerns are same as yours and worry it may wear the flat top chain faster.

I was having the same issue on my Trek Emonda. Fortunately, I was able to buy their plastic rim liners (for $20 each - ouch!) which completely sealed my tire/rim setup. I don't feel that today's rim tapes are performing nearly as well as they need to. Side note, after 2 years I finally noticed a small dot of sealant on the tread of my back tire after a ride - my first puncture! So tiny that it didn't spew out onto my bike or anything, I just flicked it off with my fingernail.

As a roadie for 50+ years, I rarely find myself needing to stop in the shortest distance possible, nor do I find myself riding the brakes hard on those sweeping downhill chicanes in the Pyrenees. Also, disc brakes just plain stop better than rim brakes. For me, the choice is clear, organic/resin pads for smooth, quiet stops. If I have to replace them every few years, that's fine.

SwissStop. Full stop ; ) The very best brake pads.

Thank you for making these Tests 😊😊😊

safety first

Cool video, thanks! I think when we consider pad wear as a factor for value, we also need to include how much wear the rotors undergo during use, since their cost is at least comparable to the pads. I'm pretty confident metallic, semi- and ceramic pads wear rotors much faster than organic, because of the compound hardness. I use organic pads (rolling terrain with short downhill sections, commuting, so brake fade is not an issue for me, but I do need immediate bite and good modulation). I use cable actuated brakes, so that is also a factor to consider. I have never (10000+km) have had to replace a rotor because of wear. I also would shy away from buying pads through AE, unless you're a returning costumer and have built trust on particular suppliers. There are anecdote stories around of pads debonding from the backing plate during use (due to heat I guess), which can be very dangerous. So I don't think the saving is worth it here. I do buy other stuff there though, which I mostly trust in my own experience.

Awesome vdo I have learned a lot Thanks for sharing ❤

I have not had luck with the cheap Chinese TPU tubes. One of them was defective even before I got on the road. I took it out, put air into it, it was very deformed and had a huge leak. I know they're cheap, but I don't like this kind of practice

I tried my own fix. I patched 3 Ridenow tubes using Gorilla Tape cut in the shape of a patch. Stuck it on the tube, heated it with a hair dryer really hot.....it REALLY stuck. Airtight right away, edges stuck down tight. I inflated the 3 tubes and hung them up to see what happens. It took like 5 minutes to patch 3 tubes and cost is very low. I think Gorilla tape is way stickier than modern duct tape. Duct tape has been cheapened to a shadow of it's former self.

blud uses davinchi resolve 💀

To be fair, the extra 25mm in length on the Fizik (275mm vs 250mm) accounts for the decreased rail length and useable rail space on the Ryet.

Hello and thanks for the tips with clincher and tubeless tires… my question today is I was gifted a set of Pirelli tubeless but I only use tubes. So can I put tubes so I can ride them in spring 2025 ?

Never ever went tubeless myself even with gravel. I do not get flats even with thorns sticking in my Panaracer gravelkings.

The ride now glue is just rubber cement and the patch failed after a week. Junk. Now I use Gear Aid seam grip as a glue dot and cover with any glueless patch to protect the dot…solid.

I ran tubeless for a few years, and after I had a few issues this year, I decided I was just going to run tubes on my road tires going forward. TPU's are great and I have been very happy not to have to deal with adding sealant on multiple bikes. Never had any problems setting them up, I just got tired maintaining multiple bikes with it.

Don't assume the Fizik is better. I paid for one of these and it delaminated in about 8 hours. I'd give the Ali Express a go

hello which sunglasses did you wear at the end of the video ? they look great many thanks greetings stephan

How many miles do you have now on that Velobuild??

I think your rim tape is not wide enough.

I don't think i want tubeless :D

Tubeless tyres are to much of a ball ache, to wide, to slow, leak, expensive, messy etc etc etc…..

Isit good for long ride? I mean audax?

Tubeless 😮😮😮no thanks 😢

Tubes all day, quick and easy. Now using TPU and lighter 😂

9 oz of sealant! That’s 4x what you need.

70 psi for 30c is insane lmao you must feel every bump in the road

I'm proud to say that I never got on the tubeless train. It was recommended as the greatest thing ever, but after working things through in my head, it just didn't make sense to me. The increased hassle, maintenance, weight, cost were a no go for me. I switched to latex and was happy with that. And then TPU came out, so tubeless makes even less sense now.

Takes a brave man to admit he's been conned

Tubeless is nonsense, its an expensive worthless gimmick!!

I ride plus innertubes ( thicker than usual ) lasts much longer!!

Put a ring of silicone sealant around the hole in the rim tape. It works magic to reduce tubeless leaks from the vavle

I ran sealant inside tubes for years and was happy doing it. Running tubeless now and it is fussy

I’ve been running tubeless for about 2 years on all three of my bikes, I’ve had some difficulty mounting tyres, had tyres leak air from the sidewalls (Michelin & Vitttoria) but have settled on Vittoria Corsa Next and finding it’s getting easier each time I replace tyres. I never unmount a tyre to check sealant, using Stans and it’s never dried out on me and always plenty left in the tyre when it’s worn out. I reckon all the issues with tubeless are worth it purely for the ride quality and ability to run lower pressures while still getting decent rolling resistance, I’m at 50psi on a 30mm tyre and the ride is sublime, if you have decent roads in your area then maybe tpu tubes but having used tpu and latex I can say that tubeless is much better in terms of ride quality.

Thanks for the video, I run tubeless on 4 of my bikes, I think you covered much of the teething issues, perhaps I missed it I don't think you mentioned to seat the tyre by over inflating to get the POP. I'm now using the Muc Off Road and Gravel sealant on the road and commute bike. I went tubeless after my road bike had a puncture and it was a nightmare to get the tyre off and on (17mm internal rim and 25c tyres) no way that was happening at the roadside. Thankfully TL works for me and I can continue to enjoy riding far and often.

Tubeless can be helpful in races (and fast group rides) with regard to avoiding flats assuming that sealant can plug the hole. For self supported gravel and XC races that are known to be have rocky sections, adding a tire insert can also help to avoid pinch flats that hole the sidewall. That said, the last resort of having to insert a tube into a tubeless tire with sealant during race can be very costly in terms of finishing position. and messy. WRT to efficiency, my take is that in lower categories (e.g. Cat 5, 4) there are other factors that have a greater impact on outcome than rolling resistance, e.g. drafting, optimized pack positioning, nutrition, hydration, etc. My $0.02.

I think it's a negative when you have to put in more sealant than a weight of a butyl or TPU inner tube. I too have experienced getting a cut in the tire that was too large for the sealant to seal (I did plug the hole but it blew out the worm!). I also had tyres that needed a lot of sealant to stop leaking. And how about a tyre that is so tightly seated on the rim that you can't take it off to put an inner tube in?

I was a skeptic too, but my butyl and TPU inter tubes kept leaving me stranded, so I switched to tubeless a year ago. I've only experienced a loss of sudden pressure loss once. It was a minor puncture, and the sealant did its job. I'm a tubeless convert now, but I'm still sticking with hooked wheels. I have a set of Campagnolo Bora Ultra WTO, and the wheel bed doesn't require tape for a tubeless setup. They're stupid fast too, just an FYI.

I was on TPU's until I punctured 4 times in a week. Moved onto tubeless with just as little as 40ml per tire (28mm on a 24mm internal rim width) and had no more flats since April

1:35 did you just open your quick link above a gutter? jesus man, you like to live dangerously

mine never completely seal. they lose air way faster than new tubes

this saddle is 150mm in width. what's your sit bone width?

Great content. I'm OK with tubeless for my mtb but road and cross/gravel, I'll stick to tubes.
