inside of this box there's quite a special bike
the world cycling center wcc run by the uci have an under 23 team and scott supply these frames
rim brake addicts to the team so they've got fast bikes to ride and i get to borrow one for
a little bit to test out some rim brake parts today's video is going to be building this up
with some rim brake parts the building is not happening in here the build is happening down
the bike shop because frankly nick misses us he was so sad that we did a bike build without him
look at that flashy camera jimmy is here with his fancy camera equipment and is going to be making
a dedicated build video or like asmr and stuff on his youtube channel so i'll put a link down below
to his channel where he'll be uploading a video in the next couple of days this video is going to be
a quick run through of the build whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa i do have no idea when this vid
when my video is going up when's this video going a couple of days so just let me know
and then it'll go up at the same time yeah nice available now via this link why we check it out
that's mega light is it comfortable i've never remembered what are you doing it doesn't
feel so bad yeah this should work that was a comprehensive saddle test that's our measures
these shifters are set up the wrong way around right shifter should push the
rear mech up the cassette no no because you're pushing don't get inside no way
pushing up completely down wrong it makes no sense no right goes right left goes left right
goes up left goes down what are you scooping for that's not what happens trick somebody told me
about the other day especially with the gravel bikes what they've been doing is pocket cafes
put the bike in the easiest gear because obviously it's like a 0.9 ratio so like riding it'll
be slower than walking take your battery out if somebody tries to run over your bike jumps on and
starts peddling they're not going to get anywhere you could probably walk up behind them catch them
this is rim break so it should be light glad dead on the chances of that i've never
like a meter long we've probably cut half of that off we're gonna do that to your bar can't we i
kind of feel like this group set needs to go on my bike because it's light well if that's come out at
seven yeah because it's just by going one by with the lighter chain set it's around forces like it's
changing when there's extra weight compared to the raid and there's no way that frame is lighter than
the lightweight frame but then i guess i can't be that much in it what 300 grams 400 grams
it will become apparent why this bike has been put together in the next couple of days
but in the interim here's a rundown of all the parts that are on this scott addict first up
this frame set is a scott addict rc rim brake version which is not available to purchase
scott donate these bikes to the world cycling center run by the uci for under 23 riders to use
on their race team the frame works with electric group sets only so i've bought
a sram etap axis force 12 speed group set it's a double with a compact chain set on the front
force calipers to match with yellow swiss stop pads in and personally the most noticeable thing
about this group set how small the shifters are because there's no hydraulic reservoir in them
they are able to make them a lot smaller and in my opinion a lot more comfortable this is the first
double electric group set that i've used from sram and because the group set is completely wireless
they have to have batteries on both the front and rear mechs these batteries are identical
and interchangeable so if one mech runs out of battery you can actually switch them over
and enable you to change gear in whichever ones run out not relevant to this build but the same
goes with their etap batteries in their dropper posts as well so everything is interchangeable
unlike the two sram group sets that i have on my mountain bike and gravel bike this system uses a
flat top chain which looks quite cool wheel set i have temporarily borrowed from jimmy's bike so
you may have seen this in the last few episodes this is an elite wheels drive 40v carbon wheel
set the super light version set up tubeless with hutchinson fusion 5 grid skins which don't have
any branding on whatsoever these provide very slightly more punch protection than the standard
fusion 5 and apparently the reason for removing all the branding was an environmental choice
in terms of finishing kit i have a fairly cheap set of data compact bars i think these are zero
100s along with our 100 millimeter synchros stem which scott supplied with the frame carbon pro
fastest seat post which i had spare in the garage and on top of that a pro stealth saddle carbon
with a nice big cutout in the middle bar tape because i know people like asking this question
is bbb flex ribbon not the super thick gravel one the standard flex ribbon
my favorite type that i use lasts a long time and it hasn't got any really sticky stuff on the back
so when you take it off you can usually wrap it back on again handy if you're changing position
and changing handlebars quite often last little bits i have fidlock magnetic bottle connectors
a garmin 1040 solar on the out front mount which is the one that bans onto the bars because they're
not aero which is a bit of a change for me silke frame pump which leads to you being the favorite
person on the group ride and finally garmin rally power meter pedals i have a feeling it's going to
be really handy having a rim brake bike at my disposal seeing how the direction of my videos
has changed fairly drastically while i'm here at home testing out different bits of bike has
not only been really fun but educational too and you guys seem to have really appreciated it so i'm
gonna carry on with that the um the big upcoming thing that we're gonna be using this bike for
what was inside this packet here it's kind of wheelchair anyway big thanks to scott
for sending this over any questions put them in the comment section thanks for watching
