Finally a guy who really knows what he’s talking about ( pls no offense to all Covid cyclists, love you all who appreciate cycling ❤). But as an old bloke having pro raced in the 90s and trying to teach teenagers in my social Project what it’s all about - simply awesome…it‘s about cycling, doing something in a team, feeling the spirit, feeling your body…in the real world, here and now, pure!

Kudos to @Daryl Sean Chan & @oompa loompa cycling, thanks for your experience sharing on your cycling experience, by far one of the best interview I ever heard from this channel, keep up the great works both of u👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@Daryl Sean Chan I can still remembered the one you climb with a fastest female cyclist up a mountain. Brutal for you, but fun for us to watch :) Keep rocking and please continue to upload more content! 😂
Wow, I've been binge watching your videos lately (paiseh, i'm a late fan of the channel)... i've learnt so much from Daryl. What an inspiring person to look up to.
I totally agree with him..ive been thru 8 road bikes(cannondale, trek, pinarello, cervelo, etc)within 2 years and I finally stopped when I got to my 2nd s-works sl7 tarmac...it checked all the boxes..bike builds are so much cheaper to build vs buying the bike straight out from the manufacturer..
@@DarylSeanChan yes indeed..I have no loyalty to any brand of bike but when I rode the s-works sl7 tarmac it felt so right for me..I loved the giant TCR but there was something missing that I can't explain..lol..this is my 2nd s-works sl7..I had the dark green matte chameleon color but then switched it up to the lagoon blue with the crazy yellow stripes..lol..I put several miles on the bike and it's very reliable so far..I think specialized gets alot of hate because of the price tag and not because of their performance..lol..be safe out there and have fun on whatever you ride..
Great interview by far. You can really tell he isn't a covid cyclist and has experience. Doesn't focus so much on the gear but the bigger cycling picture of community and developing yourself to get faster.
Just finished the whole video. A very proper interview like done by sports magazine. Well done oompa loompa👍🏻👍🏻 those timestamps 👌🏻👌🏻 I wish i have more time to cycle but i always feel too tired after work, i got no work life balance sadly. I once saw daryl by the drinks vending machines near hong kong sports institute when i was cycling to work lol So is it that its better to have more grip on the front wheel so putting wider tire on the front does benefit riding experience? And i also heard wider on the front narrower on the rear gives better aerodynamics? Hope to meet you someday daryl💪🏻u ve been a great inspiration for the cyclists 單車仔 in hong kong especially those amateur rider noobs like me😂 Kudos to oompa loompa for quality content from south east asia, hey ive been a long time sub from hong kong😉👍🏻 Need more freehub sound check vids btw🤣cant get enough
@@keming222 omg that turn takes out so many cyclists every year lol... the first year I went they didn't even have the safety nets and people literally flew off the hill!
The S-Works is probably the most popular Chinese made bike but you can get equivalent Chinese frames for much cheaper. But I realise , Status is always important for a lot of cycling enthusiast
On cramping, to some it is the electrolyte balance. To some it is carb intake. I need more carb intake to prevent cramping. Everyone is different, if drinking electrolytes is not the answer, try drinking carbs.
Glad I chose to watch the full version. Not one bit was boring. 1:23:05 Well said. Western media pushed the sport to elitism and prices inflated way before covid. And with that, the sport got full of snobs. Also, I am european and to call South east asians "materialistic" is a big irony.
The reason you shouldn’t change the wheels is because clx 50 are better than clx rapids and clx rapids 2. The only reason they are not in production is because they cost too much to make them. Clx 50 come with ceramic speed and 180 equivalent hubs… they are tubeless comparable and weigh 1340 grams… by far the greatest wheels ever made.
Like his advice, buy cheap as your first bike because you’ll make mistakes anyway. Buy expensive when you have an idea what you really want. I also agree about his reason for the Okinawa race being the hardest….head and crosswinds. I would rather ride hills and mountains climbing than fight crosswinds and headwinds. The wind always wins especially if it’s like 30+ miles of it non stop. All your energy to do any attacks just get doubled on efforts
This guy is extremely humble, a very likable person, I wish nothing but great things for him on his journey.
Thanks mate! Happy cycling! 😎😎😎
What a posh, humble and experienced person as a whole! Key take away : Invest more in yourself, rather then the bike 😂
Yes haha! 1 and a half hours of goodness!!
Didn't expect posh to be thrown in together with those adjectives to describe me 😂😂 Thanks for watching!
@@DarylSeanChan now you know 😂 Keep it up!
@@DarylSeanChan I'm pretty slow but would love to go on a chill ride with you guys someday

Thanks for the kind words! Pro racing in the 90s is probably the most hardcore thing ever...gotta learn from that! 🇨🇭🇨🇭👍🏻
You both are awesome! The best episode and content I‘ve seen so far. Many thanks for that and keep on riding 🙌🏽 Cheers
Appreciate your ability to ask different genre of questions to the different kind of guest that you have during your interview.
Didnt expect i would watch a full 1.5 hours bike interview, but wa la what a fun and informative show! job well done.
Thanks for watching the whole thing! 😎😎
This interview is on another level. I could listen to him go on and on. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with us, Daryl!
Thanks Aiman! I speak too much when I'm on camera...but I'm quite the opposite otherwise! 🤣🤣
his calves go crazyyy
Great interview with a humble and legit cyclist. Sick bike!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed~
Best interview ever! I was smiling throughout... Great takeaway... It's not the bike, it's your legs.... :)
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it as much as I had fun doing this with the legend!
This dude is awesome! So humble. Not a pretender with all the gear but no idea. 😊
Hahaha and even when I do have some idea...I still like all the gear 🤭🤣🤣

Thank you for the support and glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏻👍🏻😄😄
He actually uses “la” in his speech. I thought that was a Malaysian & Singaporean thing to do. Hahahaha. Great content, Oompa!
Pretty sure I acquired some Singlish when I spent those two weeks in Singapore! 🤣🤣🤣
Been follow Daryl for some time. this one and half hour interview really informative and listen to it was my best time killer during traffic jam time!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dai Ga Hou! What a good interview, thoroughly enjoyed them :)
Hahaha Thanks for supporting!

Enjoyed the interview very much. Thanks
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed! 😆😆
What a guy! I'd love to hangout and would listen to him geek out about bikes all day.
🤣🤣 be careful what you wish for! 😈😈
This is a proper cycling interview!
Oompa Loompa asking all the good questions! 👍🏻👍🏻

better late than never
Finally! Just in time together with Daryl's video just came out also solid interview
Hahaha it's a lot of watching me on UA-cam this week 🤣
@@DarylSeanChan i wont complain about more content to watch 🤣🤣
Love his review videos a lot. Solid guy
Thank you Marcus! 😎
Definitely one of the better videos I've seen from this channel.
I would to see how he takes the bike apart for traveling.
Why so it happens I do have a video on that on my channel... beware, I'm super lazy at this 🤣
I totally agree with him..ive been thru 8 road bikes(cannondale, trek, pinarello, cervelo, etc)within 2 years and I finally stopped when I got to my 2nd s-works sl7 tarmac...it checked all the boxes..bike builds are so much cheaper to build vs buying the bike straight out from the manufacturer..

Hahaha thank you! Looking pro is part of the race 🤪

Look good, feel good
That’s when you know branding and marketing really do work 🤣🤣
woot darly roasting OSPW , OMG!
🤣🤣🤣 I roast...but I still rock them on my bikes hahaha...the irony!
On cramping, to some it is the electrolyte balance. To some it is carb intake. I need more carb intake to prevent cramping. Everyone is different, if drinking electrolytes is not the answer, try drinking carbs.
The dark art of preventing cramping!
I'm glad you acknowledged his legs, caus i was looking at them the entire video haha X'D, So jealous
It's all just for show 😆😆
@@DarylSeanChan i don't believe that for a second haha 🤣
good stuff. the only good one so far

Thanks Drou! That's a good deduction to why the sport can be full of snobs!
@@DarylSeanChan The sad thing is that we are talking about bicycles, man. Some people are so stupid that use a bicycle for their snobbishness.
what type of derailleur hanger is that? will it work on quick release drop outs?
Sigeyi I believe
Yup it's a Sigeyi direct mount hanger. Should work on QRs but best check with the seller!
Direct-mount rear derailleur hangers do have open-dropout counterparts, it depends on if any hanger manufacturer does make one for your model.
I like how he used all the lah in the interview!
Hahaha I definitely picked up some accents...!
Wait ... this dude has utube channel right ... love watching his channel also ...
Yes that's me! Thanks for supporting!
@Daryl Sean Chan couldn't b sure cos u were speaking in Chinese in ur vid ... awesome la u ... I see ur vids ... feeling weak already
Surprise see this HK UA-camr appear in your channel... He is strong and fast ..
I just had to reach out to Oompa Loompa when in Singapore! 😆👍🏻
what’s his camera mount!!??
The reason you shouldn’t change the wheels is because clx 50 are better than clx rapids and clx rapids 2. The only reason they are not in production is because they cost too much to make them.
Clx 50 come with ceramic speed and 180 equivalent hubs… they are tubeless comparable and weigh 1340 grams… by far the greatest wheels ever made.
That's true... though I have heard a lot of good things about the rapides, especially how chunky wide they are!
First 5 mins is the intro lol
Highlights of this interview here: ua-cam.com/video/3rdlirNiasg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=OompaLoompaCycling
What I don't like about this video: back wheel not align 😂
Haiyaaaa
🤣🤣🤣 oh the details!
Any one knows what crank length is he using?
Daryl where in Vietnam did you ride?
I rode from Ho Chi Minh to Nha Trang!
@@DarylSeanChan Next come to Da Nang. Small city but fun to ride.
@@HarishChouhan Heard good things about there!

me too but no legs for it >.
Buy buy buy buy buy! 😆
He used more "lah" than Singaporeans.
I definitely picked up some of that in Singapore! 🤣
“Why you ride S-works, you’re so slow”
“Why you don’t ride S-works? You’re so poor”
There's just no getting it right eh 🤣🤣
I watched this video with my girlfriend, she asked if she could lick his calf. We broke up because of this
🤣🤣🤣
Bruh…..it’s funny how much this guy shills for specialized. Literally one, if not the worst brand out there that currently exists.
