like if i won the lottery there'd be like three things i would buy
one would be a donkey one would be a cat room seven or a lot of seven or whatever they are
and a john deere to cut the lawn with what's that a tractor yeah it's all i
want in life i don't really want much if i won the lottery not a bike you already
got one i've already got one i'd continue working for scott because i love it that much
that's me asking for a pier ice deer
in today's episode a bike check of tony scott addict darcy pro he's not a mad fan boy he uh
he works for scott and i'm also a massive fanboy that's a scott addict rc pro nice
like i've practiced that isn't it by far and away the the nicest bike i've ever owned well
owned being given i use the addict over the foil because i just prefer how it rides
there it's completely con concealed cables like all integrated and i just find that the lighter
frame works for me and i just like the way it looks really it has a bit more of a traditional
looking feel to it i do have the option to ride either the addict rc or the foil but i do always
tend to choose the addict just it works for me i can probably do some sick jumps on it for you too
if you want us the bars they're the syncross creston ic sls uh i run a 12 centimeter by 38
cent at the center so that's a long stem but uh narrow yeah narrow bar a tenth run long stem now
like the narrowest i can get from syncross which is the 38 i've just followed the trend really of
everyone else sort of running these narrower and narrower bars it does feel better on the road bike
just feels a bit weird when you jump back from the road bike to the cross bike to the mountain bike
it sort of feels really narrow really different yeah quite twitchy once you get used to riding
them they're really good i find them much better to ride syncros belcara saddle which is the
aggressive rear saddle with the wide profile for being more or less perched on the front of the
the saddle so the syncross seat post although it's exactly the same shape as the one on your foil
it's a slightly lighter a lighter c post due to the clamping mechanism because this is apparently
the lightest seat clamp on the market i think it's like something like six grams yeah it is a big
claim but apparently that is true weirdly another little thing syncross all of their parts are all
named after places in canada so what's the seat house called don't about to be a duncan that lives
in canada but there's all there's also a place in canada called duncan through axles but scott's got
this lovely little tool so it slots into there magnetic doesn't go anywhere and it has a t25
and a six mil is it a six mil i'm pretty sure it's a six one i bet it's not a six mil but then you've
got t25 which pretty much adjusts all your contact points on your bike just got like your headset you
see posts you stem your stem balls if you're not on the one piece system and that just sits
nicely in there i like this because if you forget yeah multi-tool yeah you can still do a few things
on to your bike yeah without being completely stranded it's handy having it on because
if you take it off you just know you're going to get stuck at the side of the road without more air
though it does look nice and clean without it but the bike comes specked with durians which
is very nice uh full di2 i'm running it's the 11 speed because i'm waiting for the 12 speed 52 36
front gm rings and then i'm on a 28 11 rare cassette because i just find that the smaller
spread suits me more than the wider ratios i don't really spin i tend to churn a lot more i think
that's just like a sight lacrosse thing riding around muddy fields one other thing i'm on a
140 rear rotor rather than a standard 160 140 rear 160 front just because that's
i think the 140 looks nice and neat and tidy and it's way strong enough yeah yeah especially for
the back ideal world i'd probably like it on the front but we can't you could you can't fit it on
the front i'm on shimano ultegra spd sl pedals i just find the body of the the actual body of
them slightly wider so you just i feel like the contact path the contact point is just much nicer
over something like the looks or other brand of pedals so the wheels same as all the other
rest of the finishing kit comes from syncross so they're capital 1.0 so they're a full carbon rim
and then on them i run victoria tires you tubeless no at the moment but generally speaking yes i am
a tubeless convert it works for me there is a noticeable ride difference in tubeless you can
actually feel it i think but people are probably going to see a deer can't but you race tubs and
cross right i raised tubs in cross which we'll go into more in a future video yeah but yeah
interesting yeah okay but if i could race tubeless in cross i would or you can actually go and ride
it in the real world as well instead of just having a hairy tub with you tubeless on the road
it does work this is the second bike check i've done someone's got a mismatched crank
yeah why have you got a mismatched crank because it's cheap support stages
an ultegra stages not the jury is it fits and it's i think there's about what
is it any weird difference i think it might be a couple of grams so there's not really any weight
difference whatsoever that's why i run it and it's about two three hundred pounds cheaper
than a dutious one and no one doesn't look as nice you're gonna break it cheaper to replace yeah so
basically all the way through the attic rc range is three levels of carbon ehm f which is your
sort of entry level carbon then you've got each mx and then you've got hmx sl they'll probably all
ride very similarly the most riders won't be able to tell a real difference but what you will
find is the hmf to the hmx there's about 90 grams difference in the frame weight the hm x to the hmx
sl is the same again it's sort of like round about the 30 to 40 grams lighter the hmx sl is what like
your pro 2 with teams like you your dsms or all their bikes will be hmx sl the addict rc pro is
hmx your foil will be hmf the forks hmx because all the forks all the way through the range is the
same because i know a thousand people will ask in the comments what size is it it's a 49 centimeter
it's extra small is that extra small that is extra small basically i could ride either small or extra
small but i always choose to ride the smaller bike just find i can make that fit better than
the small how tall are you for reference same height as tom cruise five foot five and to add
to that if anyone was interested i ride a small so one size bigger and i am just over five eight yeah
i can't believe yours is the better carbon it's not fair i mean but it does explain why
on occasion i have struggled on these rides and you've just been real fast yeah it's that
it must be that it must be i i've just been taking you around the hilly roots which this
bike's designed for so that is chinese bike check it took us a long time to find uh locations today
because it's been very very windy thanks for watching subscribe for more subscribe
