Great bike. It's my daily commuter and I couldn't be more pleased. Too bad Fuji discontinued this in favor of the more expensive Jari. This bike was a great value.
Hey really nice and helpful review and i really like the bike. I think it is a really nice bike for beginners like me because of the price (around 750-850€). (thanks for your fantastic video - i was the guy who asked you in another video^^) thank you!
Currently you cannot buy this model from Fuji. Only from second hand. This model was replaced by gravel Fuji Jari. I think it is even better and you have many option in steel and in alu or carbon. Depends how deep pocket you have ;). Check on Fuji webside. Prices starts from 800 USD. All the best.
+Sławomir Śliwicki well I don't have this bike anymore and I'm looking for a new one.
You mean gravel or Fuji? I am currently using Fouji touring. This is the light touring bike. Quite good for bikepacking or light touring. As I mentioned I had to change the tyres into shwalbe land cruiser. Steel frame works. I am quite satisfied. However especially for bikepacking currently there are a lot of bikes. Huge amount. I think the gravels are the best for this purpose, some mtb hard tail too. What do you think?
Great work on your ride. How to adust the pads easily: (with the wheels on and bike upright) 1. Loosen the (2) bolts just enough so the brake calipher moves freely. 2. Apply brake until the pads touch the roter and HOLD. 3. Tighten both bolts and release the brake. The pads will be perfectly aligned with the roter with equal distance on both sides.
+Chad Lilly wow thanks! This is insanely useful! :) cheers mate! ;)
TheOneGoodRoad in your video when I heard you complaining about how difficult and frustrating it is to adjust those I could feel your pain I've been there. Lol
TheOneGoodRoad I just got a Tricross last week. www.strava.com/athletes/7187670
I have a Fuji Touring with 2000 km and Vera Citywide are super ! No one puncture !
I like your videos! Question, what is the largest wheel size I can get along with fenders? I’ve read somewhere you can go up to 700x40 with fenders. Is that true? Thanks!
Not sure it be possible definitely 35-37mm but not sure more than that good luck. I no longer own this bike anymore.
Hi, nice film. I got couple question. How about the carbon fork for such touring bike? How about the aluminium frame? Is not to rigid and uncofortable? Regarding tyres. What is your weight? I have 92 kg and I was affraid that for my weight this tyres are to soft. I have exchanged for schwalbe land cruiser. These are good. Smooth on road good grip on grave or light terrain However, accordig to spec they have only max load: 90 kg. I wonder how it looks with the citywide. I am very curious your comments on these subject.
Sławomir Śliwicki sure I will tell you want I can. It is strong and light weight on the fork is fine. I weigh 58-60kg might affect the tyres but keep in mind that touring I carried extra 12kg of weight too. rigidness wise I felt it was comfortable but on gravel did shake a bit but the fork didn't loosen at all. And the bearing have been strong the brakes were awesome I loved the fact I could adjust each side mm by mm to the disc helps alot without hydraulic cable which mostly self adjust. The citywide tyres were just amazing zero pictures in 9300km. But the thread was tearing a bit near the beeds it has grip but I was use the roads before and using thin tyres of road so now 32mm tyres are amazing for me off road you might want more tread and slightly wider but then roads you push harder. Hope that helps weight wise I'm not sure ask the bike guy to for advice :)
Thanks. It helps. The expieriences are the most important than theoretical knowledge! So, your commments are very helpful. Good luck on track! :)
You got a great deal for that price!!
icl yeah until it was run over... :P
Generaly its cx (cyclocross) not gravel - diferent geometry! Sb can caveat it is the same/similar. There are similarities, but its not the same.
What saddle is that? Looks very comfortable and you mentioned a swap out but not what it was.
+Al Martin I think it's by Sellar or stellar skiing like that and the middle model on the "comfort" range
Thanks, I'll track it down
Had a f10, Scott foil, giant tcr but the Fuji 1.5 cross with 35mm tires is the best by a country mile, it’s absolutely amazing 🤩... Let’s not talk price either😂😂😂..
This is very light for long ways are you use the normal tours?
I'm not understanding the question :p yes I have toured in the beginning with paniers but bikepacking is totally my thing :)
are you still enjoying the bike since this video? any updates? I'm looking into a commuter gravel bike too. needs fenders for rain day for me
TheGreen Cyborg well I'm missing this bike.. this bike is discontinued.. and I recently lost this bike in a accident.. this is a great bike I highly recommend.. :)
TheOneGoodRoad sorry to hear mate. take care
TheGreen Cyborg I have this bike for commuting and I love it. I have fenders which go on easy. Also good for a rack. If you can find one you should get it.
i will definitely check out fuji gravel bikes this week at a lbs. and see how it goes. thanks for this info, and hope you subscribe back if you have a chance.
are you running cable pull disc brakes? are they the tektro ones? how are they holding up?
I don't own this bike anymore they were mechanical disc brakes.
@@TheOneGoodRoad did they give you any issues at all? I’ve only ever used rim…dang you shoulda kept this bike, it’s ballin’! Lol
hi. why you dont use Btwin triban 500 anymore
Sergejus Cernauskas it's my dad's..
Hello, which size is the bike?
This was 53.5cm I think.
Hi do you know it's load capacity?
For the bike? Not sure maybe 30-40kgs + bodyweight being 60-80kg?
I'm 5'10" which size
What is that saddle?
madvelila I believe it's a SR royal medium size?
Might be worth tossing an extra derailleur hanger in a bag somewhere.
Never thought of that depends how remote you go I suppose other wise my thought thinking is to pick up or send it to an address and then go back to where I would left off.. Again it depends how remote I guess? :)
El título está errado. Es una Fuji jari 1.5
It's the model before the Jari series.
Front wheel needs dishing.
Dishing? You mean truing? I just didn't seat the wheel in right at the time of filming I quickly assembled the bike..
2:18 That might be it. It might not be seated properly. Dishing is getting the rim right in the middle.
