Didn’t know Chris did videos for Mikes Bikes! Awesome presenter and bit about the geometry explanations and comparing it to the R5
Excellent video - such a high production quality - and I loved the explanations of the geo.
What a great video.. seriously. You covered absolutely everything. So much more informative than all the other videos I’ve watched on this bike combined.
Man, I own a R3 2014 and it has been my best road bike ever!! If I was 40 years younger, I would definitely get one.
Ha! That generation of R3 was so good! hold on to it! such a great bike!
Subbed for the subject + production quality. Sony A7SIII or FX3? Just guessing. Inspiring content! Lookign forward to more.
Hi Mike… First of all, thank you and congratulations for this video, I will receive my new Cervelo Áspero 5 next week and it is the best information I have found about this bike on the internet. On the other hand, I would like to ask you, model and size of those Pirelli tires? Which telescopic seatpost do you use and where have you placed the remote control to hide it better, as well as the cable of the remote control? Thank you
Thank u. Well explained. I have the aspero with grx600. Loving it.
Yew! Glad to drop some knowledge!
@@mikesbikes basically, I wanted a gravel bike that can do road well. Just getting into cycling and not a fan of the traffic. 2 groups of friends. 1 mtb the other road. Then I saw them posted a gravel ride…something I could get into…BUT without any fitness, I knew I had to do some road work…and as I got better, I thought some roads are fine, BUT didn’t want to get dropped by all the ladies in the group, hence a gravel race bike. At least I won’t get dropped by All the ladies hahaha. After 4 months on a temp hybrid finally got the aspero…slipped my disc…again, twice in 2 weeks, same disc. Just back on the bike, legs, lungs are ok, still a lot of weakness and lack flexibility on the back. This time, won’t be getting back too soon, been doing that all my sports career, taking my time to full strength.
great bike! what handlebar is that one in the video?
As someone who loves to go fast, I'd totally buy this bike. My Caledonia would also love a friend.
This is a hairdresser bike for people that like to burn money quickly.
I’m 5’7” and have an Aspero in size 51. There’s definitely still toe overlap.. not complaining, love the bike.. just saying
Yep. Toe overlap on my 51 also
Same
I’m 5’6” and looking at a 51cm so thanks for this comment, appreciating it a year later.
I had one and sold it. Yep, it's fast and that's what I wanted, to beat all my buddies up and down hills. But it was damn uncomfortable in doing so, to the point where I decided to sell it. I've now had a few rides on my Canyon Endurace both on the road and on the gravel with my bunch and it seems just as fast as the Aspero but with a ton more comfort.
I own the Cervelo R3 and I put size 28 c tires on my rim brake version and it is the smoothest bike ride ever. I can’t get an aspero here in Houston Texas.
Bruh, Shipped right to your door homie... giddy up. - mikesbikes.com/collections/cervelo-aspero
If I install the sram wide bb will the chainring clearance improve?
Any thoughts on possibly using this bike as a dual purpose bike? I am in search of a new bike and as thinking with an extra wheel set with some 32 GP5000 STR’s this bike might be able to be used for both road and gravel? Any thoughts?
Exactly what I’m doing. It’s fast on the road with 32mm conti GP5ks
Running 32 gravelking slicks on a set of 303 firecrest wheels on my Aspero. Love it for the road!
I have the 2020 Aspero and once I flawed both Gravel tires, I put 32 road tires & that's all I use or for now😂
Oh man that purple frame is my dream. I wish it could fit I tiny bit bigger tire. Say a 45.
They'll take up to, I think, 49s with a 650b rim.
This bike was really easy to assemble ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
I use this everyday. I recommend you buying this.
Who hired this guy…?
Only fast if rider can produce...😎
Geometry: The flip chip in the Aspero's forks in the rearward position makes the forks and trail pretty much the same as an R5.
They did at about 8:30
That bike looks like a great street bike for hardcore delivery person, dirt or gravel needs a bike with shocks
Ah, but it doesn't.
I don't understand riding on gravel. I understand riding on gravel fast even less. Just ride on the road.
Bruh, you have to let the spirit of gravel flow through you. Let the Groad change you for the better.
@@mikesbikes To each their own, I guess. "The spirit of gravel." Hilarious. But I don't get mountain biking either. Road is it for me.
@@Edmond347 "Old man yells at cloud"
@@N2Lucky More like shaking my head. But again, to each their own.
If you don’t understand it then maybe you should try it before making stupid comments about it. Each year in the US 1,500 riders are killed & many more are severely injured so many roadies have switched to gravel, no one has gotten hit by a car riding gravel & it’s actually really fun, road riding these days is treacherous & not worth the risk, I love riding my road bike but only on closed running & riding paths these days for me
