I got S works Roubaix SL8. W H A T a B i k e ! Best blend of road and gravel

Buy whatever you like it ur money

What makes you say that the quality of Trek and Specialized have gone down?

Specialized is the apple of bikes

The original 10 speed hoods unfortunately make my hands hurt. But my god the shifting is the best I have ever felt. That lever throw is so short and direct. So light yet elegant and inspiring to look at. (and because the shift lever is carbon there is no slop in it like campag or shimano)

yo Spinergy Z-lite ! Love that wheelset.

100% agree. I purchased a Teammachine R Mpc directly from the BMC site a week ago. Will build it up myself with Bora Ultra WTO 60’s and Super Record Wireless.

Why wouldn’t you just ride a hard tail Mtn bike - it does everything the GB does but better

May fake po bang Shimano Sora crankset no box po

Still loving the C60 with its direct mount rim brakes 😊

I just wanted to get a little preview for what i was getting into before digging into my bike. It's good to see young people who care enough to take the time to do things right. I'm not exactly an old timer or anything, but I put in about 12 years in bikes shops and so often people are in a rush to get things apart and back together that they break stuff along the way and make things worse for themselves. Keep it up, and thanks for the video!

Millennials known for being more Discerning?

Why in the world do you need an over 10k bike thats nuts

Honestly, you never listen to the marketing. LOL. What kind of noob move is that? You look for the bike that has the specs you want, you ride it, and then if you gel with it, you buy one. Easy as. If you don’t get the bike you want, you really only have your own judgement to blame. I’ve been waiting for this “gravel bike” boom for a while, now, so I’m glad I can get one for cheap without having to Frankenbike something from XC and road parts.

I totally understand you. I have an Xc hardtail and an aero roadbike, both race bikes and I told myself, I'm never getting a gravel bike, why get something that's slower than an roadbike and less capable than an mtb. The my wife offered me to buy a 3rd bike cuz I was good. Then I got a gravel bike. And it's all i've been riding for the past month.

rich kid

hi, are these shifters Sora compatible with any 3x9 front derailleur ?

I had to get Shimano R8000 mechanical because when I heard that Shimano was no longer going to release a 12sp rim brake groupset, I build my new bike with 0 millennial components.......A.K.A. disc and electronic shifting............not to mention an extra $1,000 for the groupset? Nah! I can't waste money on a tech that is not necessary.

I was considering a Domane SL7 gen3 that my LBS has in stock. It's new and is heavily discounted. It has Sram Force etap, Aeolus Pro v3 wheels. I want comfort above anything. I ride solo for fitness three times per week. My roads have really poor surface, lots of bumps. I don't race. I'm coming from a 2014 Look 566 with 105 groupset. Reading all the comments now makes me think i should avoid this front isospeed as i absolutely hate rattles. Any advice appreciated... I'm also considering a new Specialized Roubaix SL8 comp.

Dude thank you so much this video is so helpful !!!! I have been absolutely terrified to take my eyes so speed apart after watching your video I will give it a go and let you know how I get on thank you so much again xx

Have to correct you but disc brakes shouldn't be anywhere near a road bike

Could you be more underwhelming in you review?

My 2018 Sora bike has almost 17,000 kms, original chain, cassette and crank set

Gravel chainstays are to long! We need max 420mm. BB drop is good at 80mm nowdays. BMC kaius is best IMO and new one 2025 have UDH, but they only sell full bikes and no frames-only.

i was with you until the press fit part

I have a set of these on my commuter road bike a decent tyre for reliable miles but for my road bike GP4S are so much better grip wise and tangibly faster decent puncture protection to boot.

How does it ride compared to other bikes?

Is this a more upright bike than the specialized diverge base?

I wish he would talk more about the tyres and less about drones and nube!

Awful audio on this one. Can use bike insights website to visually compare geo. The gen 3 Checkpoint has a shorter top tube and shorter stem for a more upright position. The Checkmate geo is almost identical to the Specialized Crux. The biggest improvement I see with the Checkpoint and Checkmate is the UDH. Kind of dumb to buy a bike that does not have UDH at this point.

gen 7 slr > anything. also fun fact they raced the hi mod and not the lab 71 even tho it had lab71 paint jobs last yr

Let's copy Dylan Johnson ;)

How do you tilt the seat?

Dude, how often are you high?

That was hands down the worst unboxing I’ve ever seen. Use 2 hands. lol.

Fabulous color.

I have a 2013 model, bought 6yrs ago. Over ther years ive upgraded bits as theyve worn out ot broke . . . Changed the bars to 40cm. stem to 90mm, carbon seatpost and saddle, DT Swiss rims, Vittoria Rubino G2 tires, latex tubes, and 11speed 105 groupset with SPD-SL pedals. It regularly beats many much newer and higher spec bikes it's still super comfortable, and rolls beautifully.

Can’t wait to order mine!

I think the rim brake Pinarello Dogma F should be available forever and ever. Never to be discontinued. They can keep releasing new Dogmas but please don’t discontinue the rim brake Dogma F 🙏

Russia. Krasnodar. Hello to you from the southern capital. The bike is gorgeous, unusual coloring of the frame. I don't know why, but you tube your vidos appeared in my feed, because for a very long time I haven't watched or searched for anything on you tube on bicycle topics. 😉 How much does such a machine cost in your currency)?

prototype in Italy Pinarello factory mass production Still made in China and Taiwan there is no such thing as an "authentic" frame anymore rather pay for an OME frame than buy from a distributor that you are paying 3x or even 4x times higher and still produces from the same factory

The frames are made in Taiwan but painted in Italy.

23's, yikes!

Dry Lube is your friend.

If you think riding dirt roads is some kind of special occasion that only occurs once or twice a year then you're not really qualified to be speaking on this subject. I have lived all up and down the East Coast, generally in places with good proximity to public land like Northern New England, Upstate NY, and the Southern Appalachians. Poorly maintained dirt roads are the RULE in these areas. A road bike will get you inured very easily. Vermont is the best example of this, so it's funny you mentioned it. You're not going anywhere in Vermont on slick road tires unless you're right in Burlington.

I've been riding on Sora for about 5-6 years. I've tried a few different chains (Sram, Shimano, KMC) and cassettes as well. Now I'm using KMC X9 chains which is the best option regarding the price, how it works and the way it is linked. Moreover, I've mounted Shimano Deore XT 9s cassette and now the whole drive works perfectly fine.

45mm treaded tires, rigid fork. That's the ideal all-purpose set up for a bike that's going to see a roughly equal measure of pavement and rough dirt roads with the occasional trail shortcut thrown in. Is that a "gravel bike"? I don't really care what you call it.

Im still running Sora 8 speed in 2024. Like the campy style thumb levers better than the paddles on my ultegra.

Young man you come off as very credible and honest ! Keep making videos ! 🎉

Thanks for the video, can you list why you choose rim brakes over discs? Ive always had rim brakes, and if all of the pros have switched, why shouldnt we? (Once cost comes down)
