Great review. Your right all it’s missing is a kickstand mount. Don’t understand why these bike makers leave out the mount if the bikes can hold panniers.
i bought one of these recently, its all kitted up and ready for a tour. ive been on a few rides but didnt like the drop bars so converted to butterfly bars. my aim is to get the ferry from the uk to france and try to cycle to germany in the new year.
1st of all, thanks for sharing this video. Based on your experience, I would like your opinion about the Rims 32 spokes... In terms of strength, will it hold same as a 36h RIM? Is 32h a PRO or CON for this bike? Thks
Hey Manuel, great but also difficult question! If I had to distinguish I would say it depends on the type of riding you want to do with it (or any bike). 32h in my opinion are better in terms of being lighter and still strong enough for rough terrain and also luggage but 36h are even stronger and therefore the better choice when you want to carry a lot with you! I hope I could help you ;)
Liked the video overall, and the bike looks amazing; however, giving us too many numbers makes little sense to those of us who use different units of measurement. Wouldn't it be better to show us by way of simple visual comparisons? Consider presenting the numbers in metric and US systems of measurement on screen. I know, it would mean more work for you. Things like bike geometry fall flat when explained without supporting graphic content for all but veteran touring cyclists and other bike experts. Maybe the channel is above my head in such regards, but the good-looking bike shown here is what captured my attention-the technical data not so much.
Hello, thanks for the honest feedback! I do want my videos to be for everyone and not just the "pros" who already know everything so I thank you! I am working on another video at the moment and I will try to include the US system as well! By US-measurements you mean inch? And instead of the normal gear ratio "gear inches"? Cheers!

Sounds great! Yeah drop bars aren't for everyone... And butterfly bars give lots off different possible handpositions!
I wish you lots of fun!
a really helpful video jeremy, thank you. I have just bought one of these and waiting for the delivery.
