A review of Ultradynamico's Rose Race Tires
OMG. I was laughing SO hard girl!!!! I needed that because I really don’t feel like going outside to learn how to test my alternator in this humidity. Well, considering it all - I think I’m going to get the catoma self-supporting bug tent w/included (vented) tarp, & side access. A steal at $99 milsurp. 30” wide I think. No see um net. I had hesitated because of its spring loaded design & 13sq.” flat footprint when folded. A bit unwieldy to pack in my minimal bag. I can leave the tarp at home & use my poncho. Just over 1lb or so that way. Not perfect but rings a lot of bells. Happy trails!
dude i think they made the snackholes a little smaller because my nalgene is not fitting in it. its close..
I washed my bike rescently. Total regret
Wow cool bikes
Can you just leave the net tent and the tarp connected so they setup all together?
For mixed surface. As wide and as low a psi as safely possible. I have 45mm maxxiss Ramblers on one 42 mm specialized pros and 45mm Schwalbe allrounds. Im about 220lbs run at around 30psi.
I just discovered your channel and, as a beginner cyclist, really appreciate your honest reflections. I hope you post again!
There are no tyres like Schwalbe, haven‘t had flat tire for years✌🏻
i just bought one today, somehow i always end up watching your videos
whats the numerical designation for a L cutthroat. ive reviewed diffeerent numbers in geo and their nominal sizing and found it to be a bit sketchy
Sublime
I always wanted a fix gear but I just learned I can't coast on it. How can I solve that problem?
I just impulse bought the 4130 Bob Marley! 😊. No looking back! 😂
Could you tell where you made your Titanium bike in China? :)
What is the name of break???
Useful review. Thank you.
Amazing video, thank you for sharing, I connected with this very much. 4-5 months is still such a short time ago. Give yourself grace. keep going. <3
Side note… get your PhD, life sucks with less education. The hell it is getting the PhD is easier than spending your life digging ditches.
What I really like about cycling is that you can do it by yourself, with a partner, or even in a group with other cycling enthusiasms, a great way to meet new friends, even allies, just like motorcyclists do. I was never a fan of the big city life, instead, I like rural areas, mountains, and the wilderness.
😳 I can somehow relate to your situation, I lost love of my life in 2022 after 15 wonderful years, grief is devastating and it needs time, it was extremely traumatic and at the end of 2022 I developed DPDR (depersonalisation/derealisation) which feels like you are in a neverending nightmare. Cycling everyday for few hours saved my life, after a year and a half in constant dpdr state I can say I am feelin‘ better evry day and go out cycling alone as much as I can, no matter if it‘s -15 degree celsius or rain, just go somewhere, it helps Hope you‘re feelin‘ better now👍🏻✌🏻🌞
I have the UL2 as well and completely agree with you review! Good job Ps:195cm tall and the tent is really long enough. But always thought the extra space was to put the bags inside, learned from your video it was for an extra person😅
@3:05.. right on.. totally agree... 23C is way to narrow.
Dual Pivot is a type of break. Much more efficient. Good brake caliper.
Please stop the vocal fry. I can’t listen to it.
I think i just saw this girl on a commercial for Vermont
Hi! Huge fan of your bikes. Have you done a video walking through each bike??
On 650 b i would go big as possible. Rene Herse UMTANUM RIDGE TC 650B X 55 are very good supple and very fast...
I like a woman that looks good in glasses like you
Ugh the weight weenie in me is cringing. Podium titanium is 250g
I have one…yes expensive and wat thu about shipping a cap that doesn’t come with it. Another downside is that you can’t squirt the pit bull, about to chomp your leg, with an inflexible water bottle.
Im really digging your channel.. I just got the State 4130 and love it. I might pull the trigger on this one. Is it fixed?
Those Goggles .. who makes em and where can i get a pair?
They're Goodr Wrap G's!
@@queercyclist great thank you very much. And by the way, love your content. Keep up the great work!
Great content. Question... I have been looking everywhere for those goggles. Who makes them and where did you get them?
Found your channel searching for info on the Cutthroat. Thanks for the review, very helpful. Trying to decide between the CT and the Kona Rove. Enjoying your other vids, too. Will you be doing more?
price is like $3 more than a comparable size of Maxxis Ardent race. Negligible difference. I'm curious how road noise compares to other MTB tires. This seems relevant to me because if I was choosing a tire for maybe a drop bar MTB or an MTB-based 'longer days' rig, I'd be comparing to MTB tires, not gravel or road tires. I might give Ultradynamico the benefit of the doubt until I've had a chance to experience them myself
Thanks for your video! You inspired me to sew a little saddlebag similar to your new one. I used the LearnMYOG Zip Pouch Pattern generator to make a pouch to the dimensions I wanted. I just added webbing to the outside before sewing it together.
Hey! Great reveiw! But I noticed that the tires you have are not the "Race" compound, they are the "JFF", you can tell by the fact that they have a little triangle after the word "Rosé" on the sidewall. The "Race" are marked with a dot, the "JFF" are marked with a triangle and Ultradynamico's third compound, the "Robusto", is marked with a rhombus.
I never get moisture on the inside if I have it pitched correctly and one of the doors open. I usually lay so my face is at the door opening. I am hiking in the CDT.
Look into using Turmeric in relieving the pain/cramps, I know it helps me with diverticulitis.
Great tip with the counterweights. I've never seen them used before.
I have a 2022 Cutthroat. Sram Apex 1 drivetrain and upgraded to Sram Rival hydraulic brakes and Roval Control carbon wheels w/DT Swiss hub. Best bike I've ever owned. I love your build! Is it hard biking in flip flops?! I might try it.
You are spaking like in the meme movie "want some ice crrrrream?" Disgusting.... get you voice real
That looked like Marta train.
Wow! I recently had a great loss and as you described, I too had struggled. I didn't even realize it was depression! Just wanna say thanks for sharing. It sought of made a difference or realization to me. I also found cycling to have been helpful in coping.
i need a friend like you to cycle with.....
Great review! Do the non insulated bottles keep liquids cold for any length of time? Or is it worth just doing the insulated version?
Enjoying my first vid from your channel. Love the realness of your cycling and approach to the bike. I did the bullhorns and found them to be super helpful when I needed to push hard on the pedals for a hard climb. Agree that it’s a lower position, so maybe not something you want to take on a long ride.
Check out the Lead Out saddle bag roll, it is like the one you made and might fit your stuff and still be compact
Living in Arizona, the insulated version is the BEST at keeping your hydration at a bearable temperature. I can fill it with cool water, drop in a couple of ice-cubes and there's still some ice left after four hours on the road.
Have you tried putting the cup inside the pot first, fill it with the spork, lighter and stove, then put your fuel canister in with the plastic cap on thecfuel valve upside down? Then uour cloth then the lid on top? Prevents rusting in your pot. I have almost the same setup and it nests well this way.
