    The real beauty of this series, is that in it's essence, it just feels like a chill conversation between two dudes on a casual ride. However, the production values are through the roof. The audio is spot on, there's no wind noise or random peaking, the edit keeps the conversation flowing but keeps interesting tid-bits, the colouring is amazing, the titles are stylish, the animations are artistic... hell, even the camera guy keeps his stuff in super clean condition. There's a few shots full into the sun. lens-flare and all, and there's not a spec of dust on the lens. All brilliantly delivered in cinematic 4k @ 24fps. Bravo state bicycle co, bravo. 🤜

    46x16 is the best gear.
    For riding on the flat streets around my neighbourhood on my single speed, but I mean sure, you can go up a mountain on it if you want to.

      @@haydengutiw I would use 48 x 17 if I lived in a country that's quite hilly.
      However,the terrain in my country can be described as superflat,aside from the British-style hill climbs in my country(Singapore).My ratio is either 58x16 or 58x14,depending on what kinda riding I'll be doing.

But, in some of these descriptions, there are some errors that I just can't get over. I'm not the grammar police but some of these are pretty bad. "find" in line 1 of paragraph 4 and "it" in line 3 of paragraph 5. Content though?! HEAT!!!
