 Ride to school day. What do you want PSI wise roops? Okay Welcome back to the Friday vlog series where today it is actually Friday today isn't Holly? Yeah, Holly always pulls me up. Don't mislead the audience dad if it's not Friday Don't say the Friday vlog series So we will split the video into my favorite number of parts. You guessed it being two. Oops Good day. How are you? That's embarrassing this side of the road, please. Mwah. Have a good day That kind of derailed my intro there a mum from the school pulled out while I was riding With the kids there and looked at me like I was a real knob bed So the kids are now at school and part number one of this video is the BMC has gone and luckily I'm on the chapter 2 rare. I still had it lying around it within a few bits and pieces the cranks were offered So I was about to sell the power cranks But that fell through luckily and as a result put them back on and I've got a bike to ride for the time being Actually before part number two I should mention there is an opportunity to win yourself a kit a cycling kit That is in this video and part number two is an update on the windspace and the factor o2 projects currently just frames what's going on what's planned can to get your thoughts as well as an Expert bike fitters opinion on the windspace and also my wife's thoughts on both frames. So let's get into it So I'm at the Giroirn Sporting Complex. I just got something in my eye. No doubt a little sunshine coast bug And I'm here trying to get a little bit of fitness back after the Nationals last year I got sick for a week had some hip flexor issues for a couple of weeks Christmas drinking King too much food all that kind of stuff, but I've just done six sprint efforts ten seconds on about a minute off I've only done that's four I've only had about six of them and because I'm getting back into it with neuromuscular work You just want to ease back into it. So I'm gonna do six this week I'll probably do seven the next eight the next and kind of build it up from there But you might see behind me. I'm back on the chapter two rare a I have not ridden this bike for About 12 months. It's been for sale and to be honest. I've done a pretty bad job at trying to sell it But I think the reason why it's been difficult to sell is because number one Chapter two is a unique brand and I think this is a great bike But a lot of people love their giants love their specialized treks, etc. And it's got a one-by system which makes it a unique Proposition but as the old saying goes when it rains it pours I sold the BMC team machine last week It was a disappointing day seeing that thing walk out the door and as a result I've had to go back on the chapter two rare a but literally last night I think someone's finally gonna buy it after it being for sale for about 12 to 18 months And then I'm gonna be left without a bike for the time being So one thing you definitely want to do after sprint efforts is cool down I think it leaves 10 minutes spinning in zone one, which I'm gonna do on the way home. I had a good ride See the wife's gotten serious this year. We've got the calendar system going. We've never had one of these before We've also adopted Little baby right there, mate He's having a drink. I'll see come say hello shake hands. Good boy. Good boy Oh Lovely So for those interested in the mod X supplement, which I've been taking for some time Don't like to talk about supplements too much on the channel because people get funny and I get that but for those interested I find that reversing it is actually not a bad thing I take it in the morning when I came it off time forget So for me it helps mostly with recovery. So after a ride after a session a few sprints, etc I'll just have a sweep put it back in the fridge. It's as easy as that All right, so an update on what is going on with both frames the windspace and the factor o2 and also expert Bikerfitter Neil Stanley's thoughts on the windspace, but before his expert thoughts, let's get my wife's Non-expert thoughts on both frames. What do you what do you think of I want to ask your opinion on I've got two frames I've got this one here. What's your face? So what do you think of the windspace? Do you remember what I said to you when you first got it? Yes, but you need to share it with the audience I said it looks like I said it looked like it was from big W Why did you say that because of the the text the copy on it's really bad like I don't mind the That kind of the oil slicky fadey color. That's pretty well painted, isn't it? Yes, I agree with that. That's one and you thought the weight of that. It's really light. You reckon it's a lot Well, oh really? Yeah, you won't see Yeah Why'd you say or shit because it feels like it's made of paper like it doesn't not I mean it's the light like the weight of it Oh my god, that's so light. Is that like the lightest frame ever? I don't know if it's ever not ever Framing gets about 700 grams She wanted to sit there for the next hour Now before getting into the updates and we're gonna start with the factor o2 and then move over to the windspace I wanted to thank a company that I've been working with for some time now and to be honest It makes channels like mine sustainable and that company is today's video sponsor being surf shark Now if you're not familiar with surf shark They're an award-winning VPN service and the reason why you would want a VPN service Some people use it so they can trick the internet and tell them they live in different countries So they can watch their favorite Netflix shows which isn't available in their country But it might be available in another country But really you should want it because it's like it having an online security guard as you step into the online world to Protect you from fraudulent activity ID theft Etc and for just under three dollars AUD a month You can actually secure your internet with surf sharks award-winning VPN If you want to jump on board surf shark You can check out the link below and enter the promo code Kamnikul to get your less than three dollars AUD per month offer, which is essentially 83% off and includes Three months extra free when you sign up to their 24 month plan. So let's get into update number one So the factor o2 frame set and the first thing that I've decided to put on this bike is a set of 25 millimeter decadence Caden wheels and Ben from Caden has actually thrown a bit of a spanner in the works 25 mil decadence clincher 538.4 25 mil decadence tubular a Lovely 422.2 their fronts by the way, but those wheels with the tubular version Which are 940 grams a pair versus the clinches, which is what I was going to go at 1190 grams a pair. So that's like a 250 grams Saving in the wheels, which is massive and he's suggesting I tape them instead of gluing them Which is changing my paradigm on tubs a little so let me know what you think below tubs versus clenches The next thing is obviously the group set in the previous video where we were talking about this frame a Lot of people in the comment section were suggesting SRAM red 22 mechanical, which is the lightest group set apparently so I looked it up and it's available for this bike From bike force docklands. They're a big bike shop in Melbourne, Australia, and they're pricing them up at around $2,600 AUD, which to me is quite a Big investment for an out-of-date group set. Yes, it is the lightest But I'm a little bit unsure because I feel like the industry is really moving towards 12 speed And do I want to be left in one or two years time trying to sell this bike with? 11 speed rim rim is already going to cause a few issues with the resale Even though I'm a huge rim boy fan and I will continue to buy rim But the market is smaller. So I'm thinking I go for 12 speed and as a result I've been looking into SRAM red Etap access, but my only concern with it is the price point. It's massive So I'll be keen to get your thoughts below SRAM red mechanical red 22 or Etap access and the last thing is I need to get this bike built up somewhere So if there's any bike shops in the Sunshine Coast area or in Brisbane that want to put your Building craftsmanship on display, please reach out to me. Let me know below We'll tear up a time in the next couple of weeks to get this thing built up and we'll create a build video on the channel the second one of course is The windspace bike here Now before I tell you what's going on Let's hear what Neil Stambry the expert bike fitter had to say about this frame right here. Okay, so I'm just with Neil We've just wrapped up an RCA series. So if you haven't subscribed to that new channel, make sure you do link below And he's just checking out the windspace frame Looks flash, mate. You like it. Yeah, like the color. It's good. Yeah If the paint job is good that I don't know what that says about the insides, but it looks it looks great You're saying something about the bottom bracket area. Yeah I mean the things you want to look out for in frames apart from voids and the carbon and that kind of stuff Concentricity of all the all the important turning bits. So, you know, that needs to be directly in line with the other side and all this kind of stuff Yeah, it appears to be balloon molded, which is kind of good I think it's a bit hard to tell but it's where they put long balloons inside the mold and blow them up to push the resin and the Carbon out against the the mold But yeah, it looks it looks as neat as any other frame. I've looked inside of what do you know the logo? polarizing I'm gonna say no only because it's so it's such a large sticker. Yes, the the color the paint Finish looks really good on it. Yeah, I'm happy. We'll have to see our rides and see what rolls things Cheers So firstly, I wanted to thank windspace for embracing The idea of getting this thing repainted and also inspected obviously I wanted to speak to them first I think that's the respectable thing to do and they were okay with it so I wanted to thank them and I also wanted to thank Color fuel in New South Wales for offering their services to get this thing both inspected and also to get it repainted But essentially what I've decided to do is I'm booking a ticket down to melbourne victoria australia Assuming these traffic light covid systems don't pop up and I can't get down there In either mid-march or end of March haven't quite locked in the date yet And we're going to be seeing raul lucha from lucha technique now if you don't know who raul is He's a highly regarded carbon fiber expert who actually has his own youtube channel Which I'll link to below and has appeared on other channels in the past such as mark fergusson's and shane miller's youtube channel So that's who's going to be inspecting this and I have had a lot of comments saying well Why don't you inspect a mainstream bike and maybe we could Inspect the factor at the same time. I don't know keen to get your thoughts below, but I'm kind of keen to have one bike built up At least in the next couple of months and not delay the process Like this one's been delayed, but I think it's going to be worth it And then in order to keep the process moving for some conscious march mid-march late march is still quite a fair way away I'm going to get the bike painted by gary at carbon steed in brisbane queensland australia gary is a renowned Bike painter and he will be painting the bike up for me in the next two to three weeks And in terms of color scheme and design always keen to get your thoughts below But what i'm thinking of is something similar to this old specialized Tarmac I used to own which has a combination of black and white and what i'm thinking of doing is I think we keep the windspace logo there, but I think i'm going to go for their other logo Which they've got we'll remove this one. I'll have road cycling academy down The downtube and I think we'll leave the windspace logo there as well But once again keen to get your thoughts below now. How do you win yourself a kit?
