    Thank you for the insight. On a production post note..if I may suggest, mix your final piece’s audio. This will prevent one persons audio on left and other on right.

    Very similar looking to a tarmac/venge. Cool it can fit 37c tyres

    Excellent video, but I did want to mention the Émonda can run 32s without issue, as I have ridden exactly that for the past 7+ months.

      That is probably a great combo of plush and light.

      …And the Tarmac SL7 can officially run at least 30 (and indeed 32, still with room for the extra 1-2mm wider that they measure on some wheels) - which I’ve been riding for the last few months. Enjoyed the interview.

      @@onenotesolo256 Thanks for the discussion on this. It's a bit fuzzy as the definition of clearance varies by year (it used to be 4mm ETRTRO) and by rim inner width and tire used. Right now it's 6mm by ETRTO, and Alexey notes, you can fit more. For Specialized, I'm going off what they say here for 28s: support.specialized.com/tarmac/en/features-benefits/compatible-parts#:~:text=Tire%20Clearance,fork%20and%20tires%20before%20riding.

      @@TheRidewithBenDelaney Yeah, you have to draw a benchmark line for comparison somewhere. Comments section remains useful for people to share real world examples that differ (for better or worse!). BTW, congrats on your 3rd place in the 100km Unbound.

    And the Melee has mounts for fenders / mudguards, which all bikes should have.

    The wheels on the Melee bike -are those the Enve 2.3? If so, do you ride those on gravel?

    • @TheRidewithBenDelaney
      @TheRidewithBenDelaney  Рік тому +1

      Yes, but that is Alexey’s bike. I think he normally rides the 3.4s for gravel.
