welcome back to the videos i'm here with trevor hey and today we're going to talk about one bite
because we're both on one by we're going to talk about one by a bit and what this weird
rotor group set which you would have seen in the last episode i put up is actually like
a lot more tire testing i expected you said come on a road ride a lovely road ride what is this
these are my favorite gravel tires she turned up on a gravel bike i did actually ask you to turn
up on this bike yeah for sure because your bike is youtube famous who recognizes this straight
back from mr david arthur so some of you might recognize this bike from dave arthur's youtube
channel fantastic bike review channel you should check it out i'll put a link down below and trevor
owns viello which is this they're not all yellow they're not which is a lovely bike
brand based in the northeast of england not too far from my house what would be the usp
of your brand one by only yeah pretty much yeah frame sets we do the gravel and road frames are
designed around one by so it gives us the freedom without the front neck to design something
completely different so road to one by twelve apologies for the headwind and
the shouting what's the shifting like i'm pleasantly surprised it shifts like sram
so mechanical surround where you have one paddle push it a long way to shift into an easier gear
and then click it down like a smaller click to go into your heart it gets that functionality is the
same although it does feel very different because it's operated by hydraulics you don't get as much
of a definite click as you do with a shimano or sram system those are the two systems that i have
most experience with previously but the shifting today has been consistent there hasn't been any
gear skipping or anything like that you never seem to get stuck in between gears at all so
unlike mechanical where sometimes you have to give it a little bump to make sure it moves
into the gear that you want there's none of that at all with this so it always ends up perfectly
aligned one thing i have noticed is that when i go to shift into a harder gear sometimes i'll push
the lever a little bit too far and then it won't shift because it thinks i want to go the other
direction if that makes sense maybe this is user error and i just need to get the knack or maybe it
will be a problem that will persist but i'm sure i'll find out over the next few weeks because i'll
be back packing on it for quite a long time the brakes that come with it are rotor branded but
they are made in collaboration with magura now they've bedded in super strong very impressed
with those breaks on your stuff uh we don't well on the campagnolocar actually then we go
so uh otherwise it's primary runner you've been uh stopping really well today they are very strong
yeah but also 160 rotors front and rear okay very nice and confident inspiring especially
considering there'll be lots of bags on this bike so it'll be very heavy uh when i when i do go away
so yeah feeling confident pleasantly surprised the half guardians are spelled out for me
look at it my new bike is one bite and it's a road bike it is do you think one buy is acceptable
and usable on a road bike absolutely the way the technologies come on these days the groupset
manufacturers are pushing 11 12 13 speed systems a lot of people have had gear range anxiety in
the past about having the right gears for the right terrain but this is not a fear it's it's
perfectly easy so on this bike i've got a 42 front ring so my biggest gear is 42 11.
would you suggest bigger on a ride bike so generally we run i'm running 44 10 36
um generally we'd spec on our road bikes 44 46 for most uk riding realistically
if you're in the alps or you're going away further afield you might want a lower front end chainring
and to give you a bit more range but for you if you're bike packing and stuff with
that you'll be absolutely spot on the voice recon everything will go 13 speed in the end
i think there'll be there'll be a tipping point i think with the 12 speed systems these days and
the 13 speed that's there there's enough steps i think most people were fearful in the past
of um the gaps in the cassettes on a 10 or 11 speed system and you look at yours it's there
aren't any gaps it's one-step increments and then you get the climbing gears which are bigger jumps
but at that point you're spinning your legs right so you found i've done the climbing on it yet
i'll find out next week we've done the flattest ride in the world on purpose so today we're
actually filming two videos and i was gonna i'm trying the new sort of bike check style
video for this channel which i haven't got a name for yet like check like check check
bike check tuesday it doesn't really work we're gonna do it here but it's too windy
and too cold so we're gonna head back to like backyard pizza pizza get pizza
they've apparently superglued something to morse i think morph i think
i think it's been removed yeah he has oh more
we sat around eating pizza quite a while there to the point where now it's getting
dark i haven't got lights with me so can't get a bit fine uphill all the way of course
and now time to get ready for spain three weeks of bike packing so it is now tomorrow
as you can probably tell from the lack of beard on my face the kitchen is a complete mess and
there's loads and loads of bicycle stuff pretty much everywhere because i'm packing away this
inside the buxom box to safely transport it to spain where i'm going to be backpacking for three
weeks with chris hall followed by a week with team ribble in calpe for half of their training camp
so luckily i can fly with a solid bike box instead of a cardboard box and have to get rid of it
i'm going to leave it at the ribble villa while they're doing the first half of their train cam
it's still a kind of annoying job because when you go bike packing it's best to like pack your bike
completely as you're going to be riding it make sure you've got space for all of your stuff and
then pack it away in a bike box then you know that everything's gonna fit on it again when you reach
the other end so that's today's task i've still got a bit of a cold uh both me and daisy have had
what could probably be described as a sinus infection not covered over the last few days um
which is why i haven't been uploading to this channel but feeling significantly better good
enough to ride yesterday and definitely will be well enough to fly tomorrow so looking forward to
a little bit of sun some serious miles and lots of lovely photo and video opportunity too if anyone
has any questions related to the uh strange group set that i'm riding which i have to say so far
i'm very very pleased with let us know in the comment section thought there was quite
a few people who thought a 4211 wouldn't be a big enough chain ring for riding but
for the bike packing trip i think it'll be perfect and aside from bike packing i actually chatted to
tony recently and he used a 4211 on his cross bike to do the blind chain gang which is well
not many rides get faster than that so perhaps people think they need bigger gears than they
actually do if you're not racing how often do you actually spend in your biggest gear probably not
that much thank you for watching please like comment subscribe and see you guys in spain
