Thanks!

wow just when I was about to use the airtag to protect my bike. I think now we will need a bike designer like how tesla chaning the car game for someone to change the bike game to include a device aka part of the bike to be a security system and without it the bike just will not work, will not ride or function without it. there's always a better way, but looks like companies are lazy and more interested in jacking up high prices to pay for the same lame old system. one solution will be to make a piece of the down tube removeable, it has to be stiff and just as strong to complete the tube since that its hollow on the inside anyway. remove it and the bike simply is unusable. im so sick of thieves stealing people's bikes already as I lost 2 already. thanks man and great video.

this is such a refreshingly honest review - I like that you've had the bike a year and have really put it through its paces, both in distance, terrain and also customisation. Probably like most people, I love the look of this bike (SL 8 model), but I really wanted to use a redshift shock stem to reduce the pounding on my arms and shoulders. The quirks of sizing bug me too, so not only are there additions you can't have but you're tied into Canynon compatible mudguards (fenders), pannier racks and tool bags. I'm probably not going to buy the latest version of this bike, which leaves me a bit gutted. Your precis was invaluable. Many thanks

nice. you think you will win? if not, then I would take a normal saddle bag... take a bit more stuff, or have room for stuff you pick up on the way.

6:10 My cursed synapse from lame cannondale had a serious problem and they didn't honor their warranty. Its FSA was also flexy and didn't like it, replaced it with an ultegra, but of course because bike is cursed (had many problems) crankset is prone to breaks (recalled)... hahah

Im a noob to this arena but does the Samsung's Airtag 'equivalent' the SmartTag 2, have this anti-stalker notif and beep, same as airtag, or is the SmartTag 2 not even an option in you folks opinion? Note, I m a Samsung user (please no shaming)

I got the Canyon Grizl AL GRX 820 2x drive train 2 years ago. Overall I am very happy with this bike and had no issues with it at all. I did change the handlebar to a wider and more flared bar. I purchased the Canyon top tube bag and half frame bag. Their zippers failed and certainly did not last very long. I found that the gear specs with this bike was adequate for most of the riding I do but once I started going on bike packing trips this set up is totally under geared. Yes , there is enough gearing for keeping the bike rolling on the flats and downhills but with a 46/30 and a 11x36 cassette you start walking as soon as the trail goes uphill. I fixed that issue by exchanging the cassette to an 11x40. Problem solved. A 1x drive train either doesn’t have enough lower gears or enough higher gears. So if you are planning to go touring with this bike choose a 2x set up

Why not install the AirTag inside of the bike frame? They were basically have to take the bike apart to get to it.

Good luck. You've thought it through and deserve success!

I got rubble bags from Asda UK's Walmart for 2.89 for 30 just need to tape them together

100% mechanical, external cables for me.

The sight on the pistol I carry every day uses a battery. Lithium non rechargeable, lasts 2 years. So I replace it on my birthday every year. I'll wait for shimano to catch up to that standard.

Those testimonies are like a horror movie to me. I will never have a bike that needs a battery. Also, I maintain 6 bikes for my kids.

You got to have proper powerful ebike if it goes uphill fast

Bro get a ebike and grow up. If you are out on the trails having fun you have just as much right as any pedal biker

Nice setup! Have you considered maybe a rat t tourniquet in case of a gnarly crash? Maybe something like that with a quick clot sponge would be overkill for just a bike race?

Never had to use one for yrs, buddy system works well, been alone on bike trails to, I bring the bike into the bathroom. I do carry a D-Lock for day trips just in case. I don't care how much a D-Lock weighs, my old classic bike packed, weighs in at 75 lbs water, tools, spare tube, food, first aide so a D-Lock isn't going to make much of a difference for weight. Commonsense goes a long way. Blind spots to avoid. Groups of other bicyclists that are not. You see something out of place, pass it by. I carry pepper spray, never had to use it yet. Just beware of your surrounding without being paranoid LOL!

Gravel and cross bikes with DI2 (XT/GRX/Ultegra) and a gravel bike with Red 12spd XPLR…. For packing and Ultra, XTR or mechanical GRX are likely unbeatable…. For supported and/or events where an extra battery isn’t a huge hurdle, SRAM edges DI2 - the replaceable battery is a winner…. It’s kinda the same argument as cars… Normally aspirated vs electric…. Gas stations are ubiquitous and it’s reliable…. And, Shimano is not an innovator in components…. Well manufactured, reliable, but slow to market…. SRAM innovates.. And, lately, their stuff works well…

The fourth amendment protects them from the government. There are other options.

Great video.. How about a bike alarm? Question, I'm 6'2 and 300 lbs. I want to get an Ebike and have spent hours of research, seriously looking at the Walkee X3 pro. Any insight? I don't have a car and need transportation to places 1-7 miles away on a daily basis. I live in Miami, zip code 33156. Thank you.

Downtube Shifters for the win 🤙🤙

I ebike in a zone with logging road climbs. I stick to the roads to climb up. 2 way trails are dangerous for the ebikers that are dumb enough to hammer blind corners. No once expects you to be doing 10 mph uphill…

Would they consider it stalking if you track the thief? The tile sticker seems ideal for my motorcycle… but what if they share my speed to police department ☠️ if someone drives to another city with an AirTag with no speaker… would you still be able to track it if there aren’t any iPhones around?

Are you rocking a helmet light?

Awesome, Dylan. Have fun and good luck on your CT adventure

Thanks!

Thanks for the video and good luck

This will make you feel good... Your loaded bike is lighter than mine?!#$ 🙄

No rain pants?

Hell yeah, looks like a really well thought out lightweight kit. You've got some great pro tips, - I like the leash protip with the bivy, so clutch. I finished the Oregon Timber Trail this year and there was a ton of gear that people lost along the way, a leash would have saved them! - Extra ziplocks for carrying food along the way... so many times I wished I packed an extra. - Gaiters! You recommended these to me on AZT. Took them on the OTT and loved having them. I think I may have to try out a pair of those socks... I'll be watching your dot and rooting for you Dylan! Good luck!!

The new sram red xplr addresses some of your concerns. The derailleur is tucked in shadow style, and they protect the battery better physically (not sure about water). Also, it's supposed to be a better setup that avoids bent hanger problems. However, so far, it's only in red which is $$, and it doesn't get away from the whole electronic problem which is that in addition to all the physical things that can go wrong on any system, you can have the electronics die. Normal day to day weekend warrior stuff (me), I prefer the electronic setup because maintenance amounts to battery replacement rather than cable replacements.

It would be awesome if you can make a video on your tarp set up. Good luck on your race. Cheers!

maybe I missed it, what's your gearing for the bike? good vid as always.

You finna win ik it 0:21

Are you a homosexual?

I cycled 2950 km from Portugal to Poland through the Portuguese mountains and through the Pyrenees on Canyon Endurance Shimano Ultegra di2 no charging the battery all the way . The battery level 20% left after that tour .

Great Vídeo!! Guys, I'm trying to find the option for my bike. Aahnn does tile sticker work with all Apple network? Or does it only work with apple phone that have some Tile Sticker app installed?

But civilians don’t need a search warrant. Just sayin’… 😉

Very interessting podcast and thoughts. The reason people choose electronic for ultra(races!) is that it usually works flawless and doesnt fatigue your hands than mechanical shifting. The shimano battery (i ride di2 myself, so not a hater) has a hige downside because of the battery that is conceiled in the frame. You cant charge ir so easily than swapping a sram spare battery. The other downside wirh shimano is the cables which actually introduce more components that can fail. Looking at the thin cable that feeds my derailliour makes me anxious. Even on bikepacking trips the shimano battery is a downside. You need your bike next to a power socket or leave a powerbank to charge. Imagine checking in to a hotel. They will not letnyou take your bike to your room. They will usually have a rolm to store your bike which might have power socket or not. With sram you just take your battery out and carry it to your room. Why are there almost no shimano electronic groups at unbound? Probably because sram completely has overtaken shimano with their development of wireless, gear capacity and compatibility. Currently still on shimano di2 but most likely my next groupset will be from sram. If i would go around the world on my bike, i would ride mechanical on an aluminum or even better steel bike, with a mid range shimano group set where i know i can get spare parts almost everywhere in the world. For everything else i believe electronic shifting is fine. Just my thoughts on the topic ✌🏻😊

I also use a simple padlock alarm, if cut or moved the siren is instantly loud. When not activated it’s a simple padlock hung on the frame. It’s cheap, quick and easy to carry. It can attach a bag handle to the frame too. It’s good for letting me know a theft attempt has begun. My bike has a wheel lock too, so it can’t be easily ridden away. The key lives in it so I can’t lose it. The locking mechanism can be removed with tools but that’s where the padlock alarm comes into play. That said nothing is 100%, so I ask nicely and take my bike into stores.

I ride in T-Shirts and hoodies with shorts over my lycra bibs, brakes on my fixed gear, disc brakes on my aluminium road bike and I prefer driving manual transmission over DSG/Auto. It's good to try new things, even if it's just to figure out that you don't like the change, but each to their own really! Just rock whatever works for you mate!

You have to be insane to run, electronic, shifting, and ultra races, especially if you’re towards the front of the race because you do not have the time for recharge. Good work again bud!

This video misses one of the biggest flaws with stalker mode, presumption that everyone is only using apple products. This was a whole conversation had when airtags came out and women in tech pointed out the obvious issues in airtags, leading to stalker modes inclusion, and apple washing it hands of the issue after they released stalker mode. Iphones are comparatively rare to android devices, and tend to be skewed towards the kind of people with the disposable income to not need to steal bikes to make ends meet. The end result is airtags are usually very effective tracking devices. As for search warrants, a tracking device placed on the object consistently being in the home is in fact, pretty good probable cause, though the more likely scenario is actually getting it back from a pawn shop who then reports the stolen goods to the police.

Wether it's a stalking incident or a theft, the police need to be involved anyway. Apple would know what apple id disabled the tag. If apple coordinated with law enforcement, the tag owner could report the theft and with a warrant, the police could be given tracking info on both the tag and the apple device that disabled it. Sounds like this could be an easy fix, but unfortunately it would likely involve government, so, that's where the issue lies. It seems like any good law enforcement agency would welcome this tool. The warrant is the sticking point.

Your constitution is so great. Just so great.

I removed the speaker and spray painted it Matt black .

I used to read Jeff's blog back in the day, and I got passed by him riding his singlespeed around Durango occasionally. Never met him though, he was always going too fast.

I haven't seen 170+ BPM in over 20 years... I loved this episode.

What’s your take on the airtag bike lock?

I've been using a lot of these training techniques and they've really helped me get from the couch to the snack drawer 😂
