I've just recently moved from flat to MTB clipless pedal in my roadbike. But if I will have a touring bike or gravel bike in the future I'll still use the flat pedal so that I can still use my sandals. 😅 That Scott S30 is ❤. Proud scott S40 user here. 🙂
I have serious bike envy watching this video. I recently got into cycling when the lockdown inspired me to buy a Brompton, so I would love to see Thuong’s Brompton Girl channel!
Countries Japan and the Netherlands will never ran of bikes. Since cycling is a safe and reliable form of transportation. Thanks to their massive protected bike lanes road network. So anyone who needs a bike for commuting already owns a bike.
+1 Brompton Girl! and ... I agree: the Cycling Culture in Japan is AMAZING!!! I'm watching from afar (Youngstown Ohio, USA) though social media, and I am stunned (and oh-so-very-envious) at what I see. Japan is the secret 'cycling heaven on Earth.
Hi good evening now in philippines,wow thanks your blog!!a lot of beautiful bike,it's ok a second hand bike may money is not enough to buy new bike thanks keep safe🙏
Super cool space and looks like a great shop all around. Fitting rooms, bikefit studio, and every brand you can think of. I really prefer this kind of model to the franchised system in the US, where you'd have to go to four different shops to compare four frames or four helmets.
I've been using Met helmets for a few years now. They have nice aero and non aero options with different colour options too. I personally use a Met Rivale at the moment
I've never even thought about your camera and I don't usually like chest-mount view. The positioning is good, your arms don't take up half the screen, and there's no extraneous movement. Good job!
What a great bike store! It must be tough being around all of those beautiful new bikes and not really being in a position to buy one. I won't be buying a new one anytime soon, but I still like to window shop. Thanks for sharing yet another great video!
‘Oi!’ is a pretty Aussie greeting (yelling) expression - that bell is from this town, Melbourne-based company Knog (silent k). I use one as well. Now they also make classic bells, and some unique lights with power bank built in, etc)
Good idea on channel. Honestly the Brompton pays for itself with what I save on public transit and if I want to I can take it on public transit. As someone who works remote, I take it with me inside to cafes to do work or occasionally to the office and never worry about it getting stolen. The birdy is a good option as well. Doesn’t fold as compactly but rides with better suspension and feel, but honestly if you are getting a “folding” bike get a bike with a good fold. The ability to take it with you into stores such as the supermarket easily just makes life easier.
I purchased a Bontrager Starvos Wavecel helmet back in September, and have since worn it for several 50 K + road rides. It's really comfortable and I also like the look of it (I know this is more of a subjective thing). It retails for about $134 CND + TX (I'm not sure of the exchange in Yen).
In the U.S. it is getting hard to buy replacement parts for bicycles. I was informed by a bicycle mechanic Shimano is limited at this time. They are focusing on making drivetrain parts in their factories just to help keep the bike shops supplied for repairs. Non essential product like peddle clip covers are not being made at this time. Thanks for the great videos!
I just wanted to make a suggestion about the camera mount. You might consider getting GoPro style extension for your chest mount that would raise the GoPro and put it slightly more out in front so that your arms don’t block the view. Extending it out and up just 5 or 10 cm might really improve the viewpoint and perspective. If you are not quite sure of what I am suggesting, I can send you a few photos. Another possibility is to mount your GoPro on the top front of your helmet just above your eyes/slight line. Luv your channel. Keep up the great work!
27,5 is not really out of fashion, it’s just been adopted by different types of riders the last few years, as it was originally the choice of French rando bikes, you see some types of bike going away from it allready, but i think it has a place in allroad touring 👍
I enjoy these bike shop tours in 🇯🇵 Mainly because they still have many bikes on stock you can view. My country’s bike shops are so 😞 and empty without much bikes or parts available in stock. Talking about folding bikes “Downtube” (who sells bikes direct online) have Shimano Alfine 8 or 11 speed internal gear hubs with Gates Carbon Belt Drive. Go check them out. You did say you want internal gears and belt drive bike as your next bike. Now you can have both folding bike, internal gears and belt drive.
Hi Cruise ..in my opinion your video quality is excellent and camera position is fine. Yes you would look a bit funny with that helmet. You guys take care.
I have a Knog Oi Luxe bell on both of my bikes. It's not quite as loud as the Spurcycle bell a lot of people here seem to like, but it has a way more pleasant tone (none of the dissonance that comes with the Spurcycle) while still being plenty loud enough and has a more sleek appearance.
I didn't see any Pearl Izumi clothing which is interesting being that it's a Japanese company (owned by Shimano). Anyway you asked what kind of shoes we wear. I have Pearl Izumi road and MTB shoes and they work awesome for me. Thanks for the tour!
I really wish you guys get a brompton. I waited for a month to get my appointment here in NYC bromptonjunction to get my brompton. I use my brompton for commute and I use my road bike for fast rides.
I'm saving up to make a purchase of a Trek FX 2 2021 which does have disc brakes. I'm looking forward to experience the difference between rim and disc!
Have a look at the K-Edge stem mount for the Gopro. You can find some footage on YT. It's nice because you can have some parts of the handlebars in the frame, so it doesn't feel like you're just floating through space.
22:55. in one of your older videos you said to Thoung-chan that you standout already because you are a foreigner, so it doesn't matter if you stand out more.( Talking about red shoes). So just go for it😁. But do priorities safety and comfort. You shouldn't get uncomfortable on long rides. Chest or chin mount, will still watch your videos. Specially love the talking rides.
wew, bike shop in japan really are something. maybe half of remaining road bike stock in the world are in japan.hehe. its been four month for me waiting my new bike
@@TwoWheelCruise Based on your experience, when will the bicycle supply return to normal? Is it possible in April or May before the grand tours start? Thx
Cool shop would like to go visit Japan, and explore if the world opens up.post pandemic.. Bridgestone is a tyre car mechanical .franchise in Australia .. Jax Australia 🚴♂️
To be honest about the "bicycle riding position", I think you should ride comfortably in the position where your joints are relaxed and not tense. (Such as a pole up the arse.) I had many people COMPLAINING about the position I was in. But is it YOUR style of riding or is it mine? I tried their suggestion and my lower back is still in pain today. If you can't touch your foot to the ground in case of an emergency, your seat is very high. I learned this from a guy who has chronic back problems from a bicycle accident. So chose your pick, be safe or live in pain.
Love the shop tours! tho i would like even more Tuongs opinions and thoughts, maby she could film her shop experience to and say what she likes and don't like. Tho you it will be a hard work fore you to translate all she says XD Maby she can try her best and you can fill in the rest. It's just a thought XD
I have the GT Grade alow claris 2016 which I upgraded to Tiagra. Got screwed over the deal but learnt few things. It was the first proper bike I purchased. Hard to find any 56 size bike in VIetnam anyways.

YES! A bromptongirl channel would be cool!
Bromptons are cult not cool.
Who needs a relationship if @TwoWheelCruise takes you cycling and shopping?
Great walking tour. Have a nice day my friend.👍👍
Sweet Protection are by far the coolest looking road helmets. The Falconers are so aero looking and form fitting. And futuristic.
I've just recently moved from flat to MTB clipless pedal in my roadbike.
But if I will have a touring bike or gravel bike in the future I'll still use the flat pedal so that I can still use my sandals. 😅

I love the Knog Oi bells. Expensive but they're just so clean
I have serious bike envy watching this video. I recently got into cycling when the lockdown inspired me to buy a Brompton, so I would love to see Thuong’s Brompton Girl channel!
Pretty much something from every brand ! Great to do direct quality comparisons ,what a bike store.
enjoy watching your vlog 👍💯😊🚴♂️🚴♀️

@@iMadrid11 Las Vegas is doing more bike lanes lately, very pleasurable. Let's go!
At least you can ride your bike almost whenever you want unlike here in Canada

I'm sure @Cruise will disagree with that greatly!

Thanks!
That was a fun video!😎
Wow !
Great Selection and EBikes , Love them , and Bridgestone also make some of the best tyres in the world
Yes they do!
Lazer helmets are awesome
That's crazy... Literally all popular brands into the store...
Edit : I know bridgestone for their old bikes, they're everywhere in Indonesia
Yep 😅😎
I really like that 2 tone (yellow/red) Trek bike. Awesome store...😎👍👌👊🚴♂️

trek gravel bike was soo niceee...hope 1day i will own my gravel bike🥺😍
I personally enjoy the Oi for the sleek look but it does come with some problems, but over here in LA the spurcycle bell reigns supreme
I'll second that there are quality issues with Oi bells. Also, they aren't very loud.
@@somethingelsehere8089 hate to say it but it’s a poor mans spurcycle :(
wow! such a large selection spoiled for choice!

I enjoyed watching this video and i'm always inspired all of your vids...
Awesome! Thank you!
Love that shops there are so brands diverse! My local shop has those bells also here in the states and they’re loud!
I do have the F12 Dogma, really happy to have it, also cool to seen them on display in japan
Most of the big shops will have at least one here :)

I saw ur brompton video and also the cheaper alternative the royal folding bike. So which one did u buy?

Always learn a lot on the first purchase. 56 are also rare here 😭
Yonex was the badminton racquet company. Bridgestone I only knew for tyres.
That's right! I got it mixed up 😅
Bridgestone used to make beautifull motorcycles too, but they got out of that bizz after competitors threatened to stop buying their tyres.
re folding bikes .. maybe u already know this, but consider your use case before getting one .. they are not all the same :) btw I have a Brompton
Thanks for the tip! Would be for travel
