hey everybody i'm ryan standish here at unbound doing the 200 mile on saturday so tomorrow and
riding for orange seal a privateer program for me this year and on my ventum gs1 for unbound and and
all gravel this year so let's do a do a quick lap of the bike start off ventum gs1 frame it's there
it's a small company based out of hebrew city in utah which is i live in salt lake
so close close by drives while i ride it on the road and everything too built up with full shimano
i guess this drivetrain i've got ultegra rx derailleur with paired with grx shifters brakes
and then regular ultegra cranks with a 52 36 and then cassette 11 34. last year i ran one buy with
a 36 and it was too big for the climbs i think it was a little different um not as much climbing
this year but having the 52 will be good because i think it looks like a tailwind coming back
um and to keep up with the guys the stream guys who have have the 10 so having a bigger oh yeah
little bigger gear with the tailwind will be good that's the di2 the grx slash ultegra rx di2 wheels
i've got some ridefast racing roller 30s which are the road and gravel wheel 30 mil external
and 30 mil deep with a 23 mil internal and then i'm running that with a 40c
kenda alluvium gct so that gravel protection casing mountain bike cushcore
in there so a little bigger than the gravel one that cushcore makes and then orange seal sealant
can you explain what the crushed coat is it's like a little chris cause a little foam insert
so you can kind of run a little lower pressure and not have the the impacts with with the rocks out
there for protection from pinch flats does it also help you to keep rolling if you do have a puncher
like because there's the insert in there that's kind of why i went with the mountain bike one
because it's a little thicker than the gravel one that they make if it does go flat i could
in theory ride ride the rim i'll still carry a bunch of tyre plugs to uh try and get rolling
again with with full pressure i guess the rims are 23 mil internal so a little wide for road narrow
for mountain biking saddle i'm running the pro stealth 142 mill with a krieg saddle bag with a
two co2s i think that's all i've got in the in the saddlebag what i've got moving forward
we've got the shimano xtr pedals and a 4i precision power meter and a really loud noise
that wasn't the bike but we got next king cage bottle cages i've never lost a bottle so
that's not wood yeah yeah yeah is that because you can bend them you can you
bend them in to make them really really tight from like out of the box yeah hold it
hold it well cockpit running the synchros preston sl x travel bag
42 mil or 42 centimeter wide they've got got a little bit of flair to them as well
garmin edge 830 with the map loaded up and i'll switch between probably the map screen and then
have a screen that's got time and power pretty much in distance so that's the main ones there
what do you keep in here top two bag i go got gonna have all my tools in there and then run
nutrition stuff in my pockets what sort of tools do you take with you for the uh because
you're doing the 200 which is a long way yeah i've got i'll have a little hand pump in there
and a multi-tool with the chain breaker spare quick link and
this bike has got a pretty striking paint job what's the story there um so ventum well i guess
go back quite a few years my dad's got multiple sclerosis for ms so the past we're working with
with ventum we did a custom paint job with tj eisenhart who did all that all
the painting and i'm losing a bit now because we because it's been muddy this past week
and so last year we auctioned one off to raise money for ms and we'll be doing the same again
this year probably in a couple weeks to do auction one off and then the one that gets auctioned
can be in the person's size and can be sort of personalized for anything that's special to them
as well so brilliant well i'm sure it goes without saying followers here should come and follow you
find out when the auction's happening so i'll put all the information in the link down below
on instagram and all that but yeah we'll be hopefully doing that getting that all
put together in the next couple weeks so this has taken all the all the energy for the past
month or two absolutely thank you very much and good luck in the race thank you
