it's fiddly oh no is he broke no right this is worrying this is a bad start i'm not gonna
know how fast i'm gonna go man does this spin it does as well see it's a power meter
i'll find the way i'll find the way this can work there you go it's all in the timer
he's hanging on
so a little road ride this morning we're out in the penins it is the atticus shop day
it's an organized ride with my mates who run a kit brand despite it being a road ride
i'm on my gravel bike because my road bikes are in switzerland still one day they'll make it home
on the plus side absolutely scorching weather perfect day for it let's ride bikes
why are we cycling today jimmy um this saturday that's what you do on a weekend doesn't it ride a
bike we are uh participating in one of three group rides heading out of the atticus hq
uh i can't remember the name
defense in celebration of women's cycling featuring louvardamone enter louvrement
a third faster a third longer and will still beat us back
not if we cheat but we are we've already cut this one shorter
cool as [ __ ]
how do you run in the right house jimmy why are you riding so so slow is how i'm saving myself
nothing left i see this is good you get basically a bunch of people to come out on the ride
we sit at the back it's like when we did ride to paris yeah they think we're leading the ride we're
really we just sit here chilling i thought i'd just do it tom and tom does all the work tom and
tom and ian and we're basically just having to catch it yeah it's been good how are you
what's that guy's name ian is it no the little ducky on the front
a lot of squeaks coming from your bike jimmy there's loads of flies following
you jimmy they're actually following you they weren't anywhere near me a minute ago they've
literally left you and moved on to me all right have fun they're going back they're going back
go on get your butt to the floor
what is this all about watch the fam it's the rules watch women's cycling so you're
a celebrity today that's why people are coming to the akka shop to come and see you
and for people who don't know you are the leader yeah of the internationals yeah the women who were
cycling the tour de france the day before the tour de france every single day to raise awareness yes
about their not being correct being a women's tour campaign for women to have the right to be able
to ride a tour de france now there is a women's tour de france yes so what are you doing now yeah
retiring from campaigning no we're supporting the race so the big thing is and that's what
so zwift are the main sponsor which is awesome that they're getting behind it but the big thing
is trying to encourage people to watch the race so like if it's not successful then it won't grow
so the main thing is to get people watching the race so we want people to watch the fan
which means watch women's racing get excited about it and then hopefully the race will grow
because it's an eight-stage tour for the first year and then hopefully it'll go from there
um with more sponsors more coverage all that stuff so it's starting out good um it's in northeast
france it's not really a tour de france it's a kind of north east france but that's cool it
should mean that some supporters can travel around with the tour the coverage should hopefully be the
full stages and stuff like that instead of the last like 20k or whatever and so yeah i'm pretty
excited about it it's going to be on eurosport gcn plus and stuff like that and apparently worldwide
coverage so i don't know you know for people outside of uk and stuff what channels it'll
be on but apparently there will be worldwide coverage of it google do the google fronts
the day the men's tour finishes so hopefully there'll be a load of excitement and momentum for
people to be excited about tour de france things and then they can watch the women's race for eight
days after that we've got a new bike as well it took two years i actually ordered it so i did
um podcast with chris and we were talking about like disc brakes and things like that because
apparently they work and stop bikes two years ago and it was well the bike came in fairly quick the
group set took forever but it finally came here so i picked up last week and i like it quite a lot
actually smells like a burger though we turned a section of our warehouse office into a pop-up shop
this is pop-up number two and we are celebrating women's cycling i think you've already spoken to
louis revenue we've got two more one the next one is about endurance with chris hall and then the
last one is end of season party where we will have loads of beers without alcohol and maybe a slice
of pizza we do have 10 off on our website because we appreciate a lot of people can't be here so
we're doing 10 off on our website however you have already told me francis that you're going to
be too hungover to edit this video in time before the discount ends we'll do a special code for you
and your viewers for 10 off eleven eleven oh you want eleven percent off yeah okay we'll
do eleven percent off deal francis eleven when does it actually expire when you don't run it
until end of the week now link down below in the description attic recycling kit jerseys and shorts
and other stuff it's like thermal jerseys which you really wouldn't be wearing on a day like today
unless your name was josh reed i'm acclimatizing climatizing from the desert it's 60 degrees
inside him right now so it's gonna feel cool when he gets there did you probe him no we have
we have a thermometer at all times he's monitoring his temperature to end today's episode i've got a
box of stuff which i bought off the internet because one of you commented lovely long-term
subscriber don't get me wrong that tiagra and sora group sets would you say hit and miss at best or
something like that now i have an inkling but that is incorrect but there's only one way to find out
so i bought a lovely tiagra group set and you know what actually looks quite nice now of course all
the stuff that you see online gets bumped up the rankings if it gets clicked more and people tend
to click the latest stuff so that's why everyone's seen 105 di2 at the moment and you know top end
group sets from sram so stuff like this often gets overlooked and i wanted to compare what you'd get
from a very well-known brand like shimano for around the same price some of the groups that
i've been riding from aliexpress and other places and this was an obvious one because one it was
actually in stock and i've seen the latest tiago before and other people's bikes i was surprised at
how good it looked i mean i'm not being funny here that is ultegra from 2012. like it's not
that heavy cable is blue so yes now i have a rim brake shimano tiagra group set and i will put it
on a bike as soon as i have a bike that i can put it on because none of mine a rim brake so
i'm gonna have to source one i might have to do some digging on ebay to see what there is ideally
a scott because i'm gonna have to ride it see how this uh actually performs but on the whole
first impressions like it looks good i think people massively underestimate
group sets like this this is officially mid-range or considered mid-range by shimano 105 you speak
to the tech guys who actually work there they consider that a high-end group set so when people
use the term group set for the people this is probably more suited to that term and this was 330
340 pounds so bear with me stay tuned if you have any immediate questions put them in the comment
section down below i hope you enjoyed today's episode watch the women's tour de france starting
at the end of the men's i'm actually going to be in paris the day before that starts so i'll see if
i can find some people to talk to thank you for watching please subscribe and see you guys soon
you
