I almost deleted the email from Oladance, until I saw that they *weren't* using bone conduction, but using what they call "wearable stereo"Anyway, I was intrigued enough to try them out, and i was impressed!Australian Store too! https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09TXBWYRF

There are lots of metrics you can track off the bike to help improve your performance on the bike. If you know what your body is doing, you know whether to have a hard training day or take an easy rest day.In this video I talk about the different metrics you should be tracking off the bike, as well as comparing the different ways to track them, for example a smart-watch such as the Garmin Forerunner 255, A sports band such as the Whoop! Band, and a smart ring, such as the Oura ring or the RingConn.Disclaimer: This video was sponsored by RingConn. They gave me no script and I'm free to say what I want. I love gadgets and tech, and I love it when a new brand comes along and improves on a product while making it cheaper, so this was a no-brainer. My unit was a pre-production unit and my app was pre-beta, but this video is an honest and accurate representation of my time with the RingConn so far.Timestamps:00:00 Intro00:35 Why track off-the-bike metrics ?01:16 Sleep Tracking01:53 Heart Rate02:17 Heart Rate Variability (HRV)03:18 Blood Oxygen Saturation (SpO2)04:13 Off-Bike Activity (Steps, etc.)04:44 How to track these metrics?04:58 Smart Watches05:40 Wrist-Bands06:20 Smart Rings07:40 All about RingConn12:05 Summary

I felt like my training wasn't really going anywhere, and riding the same roads over and over again was getting boring. At the same time I met Meepo through Winspace. We both have similar business models of direct-to-consumer Chinese-based high-performance low-cost products. I'd never even thought about riding an esk8 board, so thought I'd take the chance to try them out. HUGE adrenaline rush. There's a nice learning curve to esk8ing, but I think it fits well into the cycling lifestyle. Anyway, I'd never considered it before, so I guess most of you haven't either...so... thought I'd share. Oh, and cheaper than an entry level road bike too!🕑 Timestamps:00:00 Montage00:14 Intro00:37 What is esk8?03:22 Why is esk8ing great for cyclists?04:04 Meepo Shuffle S04:21 Meepo Hurricane04:58 Why am I riding Meepo?⚠ Disclaimer:I'm not being paid to make this video, but I am good friends with Meepo and they did send me the boards. I'm not here to hard sell these things, I just personally went from knowing nothing about esk8ing to loving it, and thought more people good too. I think it's a good product from a good group of people and I think my audience deserve good stuff.

China Cycling 2022-10-28 | 📝 Chinese groupsets have been getting better and better, but one downfall has always been the braking. Sensah and L-Twoo have both made great rim brake groupsets with awesome shifting. You can use them to build disc brake builds (I have done) using cable disc brakes or cable actuated hydraulic disc brakes, but... they're never as good as fully hydraulic disc brakes.A few days ago I was invited to the launch event of the new L-TWOO groupsets and was left very, very impressed.That's all changed with the brand new L-Twoo RX groupsets.

I put it through its paces against the Garmin Varia LT510 to find out what the difference is, and which one you should get. 🚀 After a month of using both units, I think there's not much in the performance of each one, to the point that you could probably switch out one for the other and I wouldn't be able to notice.🔥 The Magene has some extra features that the Garmin doesn't have, such as a built-in brake light function and the ability to connect to the unit via an app to customize modes, flashing patterns, etc. The Garmin seems to have slightly longer battery life, but it's hard to make like-for-like comparisons, and there doesn't seem to be much in it.🛒 Offical Magene Store: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DC4yiKj🛒 Alternative Store: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DDwsULl(The above links are affiliate links, if you do wanna pick up one of these units, please use the links above.

The TRUTH about the Fake SRAM Wheeltop EDS China Cycling 2022-08-05 | A quick video to clear up what's been going on with the Wheeltop EDS. This is the Chinese wireless mountain bike shifting system that I showcased at the Shanghai bike show this year. It's now in near-final form and they sent me a set to check out. The same day I received mine I saw @gmbntech made a video with a bit of a click-baity FAKE SRAM thumbnail. Turns out one third-party seller on AliExpress was trying to pass the EDS system off as something it's not. When I showed Wheeltop, they blacklisted that seller and reminded all their other sellers not to try fool people.As for the unit itself, first impressions seem solid. I've just put it on my son's MTB and will be getting him to give it a good thrashing. I'll also check it out and then make a proper video about it in the coming weeks. Just wanted to get this video out to clarify the situation.Anyway, normal content resumes soon! But yeah, that's it for the TRUTH about the 'FAKE SRAM' Wheeltop EDS.

Save 400g for $60: RideNow Ultralight TPU Innertubes. Are they any good? China Cycling 2022-07-11 | A few years ago Tubilito added new life to the innertube when it launched it's iconic orange TPU tube. Since then many have followed suit including Schwalbe with the Aerothan and Pirelli with the Race Zero SmartTube. While these tubes all have a few advantages over traditional Butyl tubes the price has always been an obstacle.... until now.Meet the RideNow Ultralight innertubes. Available in multiple sizes, widths and valve lengths they're a TPU innertube from China that won't break the bank. They're bright pink...which is obviously the greatest colour, but they're also light, fast and recyclable. At 36g for the 700C Road bike varient (with a 65mm valve length) they're light, but most surprising is perhaps their compact size. They fit into the smallest of saddle bags or jersey pockets.Being around 100g lighter than a traditional tube, they're an easy way to shave weight off your bike. If you have a traditional Butyl tube in each tire, and 2 spares in your saddle bag then spending $60 on 4x RideNow tubes will save you 400g - That's the weight difference between Ultegra and Dura-Ace.Even if you're running tubeless; they're a great option to get home in an emergency if you have a tubeless failure out on the road.They're available to buy from anywhere you'd usually buy your Chinese bike gear, or also on the Winspace website.For bulk orders or to become a distributor, get in touch with RideNow via email: info@ridenowtech.com00:00 Intro01:10 What are they?01:50 Weight Check02:20 Weight Weenies Rejoice03:43 Different Size Choices04:04 How do they ride?05:08 Puncture Resistance06:25 Quick Recap06:50 "Road Feel"07:52 What about Tubeless Lovers?08:44 Are they safe?09:38 Extensive Testing10:02 The Price10:35 Conclusion

DONT recommend these bottles - Elite Crono CX #shorts China Cycling 2022-06-01 | Elite must have been watching @Hambini videos when they decided to remove the golf ball dimples from their aero bottles, however, they obviously stopped listening when he was talking about tolerances. The fit of these bottles into the cage is pretty awful. The fit of the lid on the bottle is equally rubbish. Water leaks out the gap between the lid and the bottle. Hopefully they provide a decent aero boost, because as a water bottle, they don't have much else going for them,

I share my thoughts and the results of my power comparisons when comparing to the Favero Assioma pedal based power meter.Combining this spider with the AXS Quarq crank arms results in a SUPER light setup that comes with power, I have replaced my FORCE AXS crank arms with the Quarq ones and it's a great setup.XCadey: http://bit.ly/XCadeyNote: In the video I claim it's $299 on the website... it's since gone up about 10% to $329, but you can still find them for under $300 on AliExpress.Journalistic Integrity: All my X-Cadey review units are provided for free. They also sponsor a team that I sometimes race for. I also help test some of their pre-production units and give them feedback. However, I have power meters left, right and center... I wouldn't lie about a product just to get more power meters. I put all personal bias to one side when reviewing these units, as I do with any other product or service I review. All views in this video are that of the presenter. XCadey did not even see this video before it being uploaded, and have no control over what I say. As always, it's worth checking out other people's reviews and not basing your purchasing decision on just one review.

Livall EVO21 - Can Safe be Stylish? China Cycling 2021-05-16 | Indiegogo: http://bit.ly/Evo21helmetI met Livall at the Shanghai Bike Show a few weeks back. I've seen smart helmets before, but never really paid much attention to them. Apparently Livall have been doing this for 7yrs with over 170 patents around them. They sent me a couple of their helmets over to check out and I threw together my first impressions in this video. This video is a bit rough around the edges and maybe a little rushed because I was trying to get it done while the crowd-funding indiegogo is still going. There are some great bargains in there. I get no kickback or commissions or anything like that. So just genuinely wanted to show you guys a great product at a greater price.
Cycling Clothes, Helmets & Bike Bags at the Shanghai Bike Show 2021 China Cycling 2021-05-13 | You guys asked me to seek out cycling clothes, jerseys, and helmets at the Shanghai bike show - so that's what I did! There weren't actually that many on display. Lambda, CCN, and Santic were amongst the brands there. Being a mostly business-to-business trade show, and with most jersey brands being direct-to-consumer here in China; it wasn't a great prospect for most of the brands. Therefore, a follow-up video may be needed in the future - I'll get in touch with some brands and see who wants to send some jerseys over for review, but, regardless, there were some brands there, and maybe some good helmet options to choose from from PMT or Livall, etc.––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Good For You by THBD soundcloud.com/thbdsultanCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/2PgU6MuMusic promoted by Audio Library youtu.be/-K_YSjqKgvQ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Chinese Bikes Galore at the Shanghai Bike Show! China Cycling 2021-05-06 | After walking around the show floor for a day, these are the most interesting bikes I found to show to you guys. There were stalls from Pardus, Seka, Java, Sava, Winspace, and many, many more. There was too much for one video, but these are some of the most interesting ones I saw. Lemme know what you guys think in the comments down below.DISCLAIMER: The opinions and viewpoints presented in this video are that of me as an individual and do not reflect that of my employer or any other persons.Also, it's now 2am, I'm totally shot from a day of the expo and have to be up at 7am to do it all again.

Today I was pretty busy with an indoor trainer race, but I did do a walk around the show floor, and there's LOTS to see. Over the next few days I'll be out there with my camera to show you what's new, what's hot, and what's not.Lemme know in the comments down below what you wanna see, and I'll go find it!Song: Luke Bergs - ShivaMusic provided by Vlog No Copyright Music.Creative Commons - Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 UnportedVideo Link: youtu.be/8acpOSWn0Kw
How to get EPIC bike footage in 2021 - Insta360 ONE X2 China Cycling 2021-04-06 | store.insta360.com/springsale2021?insrc=INRA1YI^ Save upto 40% off before April 8th!A quick overview / review of the Insta360 X2 for cyclists. This is now my go-to camera for on-bike footage. The 360 nature opens up so many options for shots. It also means the stabilization is silky-smooth. You can ride the roughest of terrain and the footage seemingly glides over everything. The only downside compared to a traditional action cam like a GoPro 9 or a DJI Osmo Pocket (Or the Insta360 1inch mod) is the resolution. Because you're taking a crop of a larger image, the resolution suffers. However, I think for most people watching on mobile, this isn't a huge issue. I think the epic stabilization and the variety of shots you can get more than make up for it.Disclaimer: I was a paying Insta360 customer before they approached me to make this video. They did send me a 360 X2 to review, and the above link is an affiliate link, but I was buying their products with my own money before any of that, so I'm more than happy to help promote a great product that I believe in!
WORLDS LIGHTEST DISC BRAKE ROADBIKE? 4.64kg S-WORKS AETHOS China Cycling 2021-03-07 | Is this the lightest fully hydraulic disc brake 2x road bike in the world? InCycle down in the south of China built this very impressive 4.64kg S-WORKS Aethos. They were curious as to if this was the lightest disc brake road bike in the world, so figured the easiest way was to show this to the world. With no real presence on western social media, they asked me to help out and upload it here. I re-edited their build video and put it up for ya'll to see.//Parts List// 🚲Specialized S-Works Aethos 52CM FramesetShimano Dura Ace R9170 GroupsetFarsports Air tubular rims x Extralite hubsDarimo SeatpostMovement Carbon SaddleBontrager XXX Integrated Bar & StemCarbon Ti Disc RotorsS-Parts Titanium boltsINCOLOR Skypivot cranksTufo Elite Jet 20mm tubular tiresRIDEA BSA30 BBSIGEYI Direct Mount Rear Mech HangerChinese one-piece Aluminium CassetteYBN Titanium ChainCannondale Expander plugBadminton Racket Bar Tape//Notes// 📝This bike was original built up by InCycle and a video shot by them.

I'm also curious why the latest Specialized frames say "Handmade in Taiwan" - It's fairly well-known that the frames are made here in Xiamen. (I won't mention the factory name out of respect for both parties) I'm fairly sure Spesh assemble their full bikes in Taiwan, but...

Token Ninja Vs Hambini Racing Edition Bottom Bracket Comparison China Cycling 2020-11-24 | The handy $50 Token Ninja Vs. the mighty $300 Hambini Race Edition Bottom Bracket.

I installed it and took it for a few rides for this video. I use Token BBs in 3 of my bikes with over 11,000km on them, but this particular unit has less than 1000km on it as I'm just using it to review a power meter.

Enjoy.Normal programming will resume next week.I chose to flag this as an 'ad' even though it's not, this is more of just a behind the scenes / chill video I threw together.

ULTIMATE GRAVEL GROUPSET? Sensah SRX 1x PRO China Cycling 2020-11-05 | The Sensah SRX Pro is a great groupset with one main flaw. However, it's cheap, it's pretty light, it's really versatile and shifting performance is excellent. @PathLessPedaledTV ; I think I found the ultimate #budgetmullet !The main downside is the braking. But, it can be improved or may be a non-issue depending on your setup. Until a Sensah Hydraulic groupset comes along, I think this is the best budget 1x dropbar groupset out there.|| 🚵♀️ Follow me ||Support me on Patreon - patreon.com/chinacyclingFollow me on Instagram - instagram.com/exventocycling|| 🔗Links ||aliexpress.com - You can search for most these products on here.

Insta360 R - Why NorCal Cycling was wrong China Cycling 2020-11-01 | So, I bought an Insta360 R mere hours before @NorCalCycling reviewed it on his channel. When I saw the comparison to the GoPro Hero 8 in his video I was gutted. It seemed I'd bought an absolute useless lemon. However, upon receiving my unit and testing it myself. It turns out the stabilization is a super quick fix that just involves either downloading a plug-in for premiere to allow Premiere to use the gyroscope data, or processing the video files via the app.After viewing Jeff's footage and using the camera myself, it's obvious he's using the MP4 files straight out the camera without the plug-in installed that allows Premiere to use the gyroscope data to stabilize the footage. This makes a HUGE difference to the overall quality of the video, so I thought it was worth mentioning.Everything else Jeff said about the camera pretty much still reigns true. The GoPro is perhaps still king of overall image quality, but the Insta360 R is great value in terms of the 2-cameras-in-1 angle,Anyway, not much to this video, just want to remind everyone that every time you watch a video (including mine!) you're just watching the experience of one individual and YouTubers may not be using the product in the right way.NorCal Cycling's Insta 360 R affiliate link: store.insta360.com/product/one_r?insrc=INRH76DNorCal Cycling's original review: youtube.com/watch?v=woetlYXyDSM

What bikes do the local Chinese guys ride? Reviewing the bikes on a local group ride. China Cycling 2020-09-11 | Which is your favourite? There's so much gear you've never heard of or seen before in China. Really interesting to see what the locals are riding. Some really nice clean, well-thought out bikes, and then.... some... yeah.I've gone a whole two months without uploading a video! Been super busy. But I really wanna get back into making videos, so I dug out these old photos to get the ball rolling. Lots more videos coming soon. I have so much stuff I've ridden and reviewed these days, just need to edit the videos.
Custom Titanium Frame from China - Waltly Factory Tour China Cycling 2020-07-12 | If you look online for a good, cheap, custom, titanium bike frame, you'll see one name popping up again and again. Waltly Titanium. Last year YouTube legend @cyclingmaven did a video on them, so I thought I'd build one up too. Imagine my suprise when I went on their website and found out their factory was only 3km from my studio. I grabbed my camera and headed on over and they kindly invited me in. This is what I saw...If you're interested in an inexpensive titanium frame, get in touch with Waltly. http://www.waltlytitanium.com or drop them an email at sales@waltlyti.com - tell them Joe from China Cycling sent you and they'll take good care of you. ;)As I mentioned in the video.

New Bike Day: Winspace T1500D - in 4K China Cycling 2020-06-12 | Everyone's favourite day is New Bike Day. After my Specialized Allez got destroyed in my crash last year, I needed a new daily rider. I chose the Winspace T1500D and equipped it with SRAM Force AXS eTap 12 Speed and a pair of 65mm HYPER wheels. In this video I'll give you a quick overview of the bike. Hope you enjoy!▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Music: Keys of Moon Music - The Epic HeroLink: youtu.be/Cjqu_PhncYUMusic provided by: MFY - No Copyright▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬More info on the bike: www.winspace.ccDiscount: "chinacycling10" for 10% off everything on their website.Full disclosure: I do lots of work for Winspace helping them with their social media, translating, etc. However, this video I created on my own and all the opinions expressed within are my own. The frame was sponsored by Winspace but I think I am able to remain unbias in my opinions. 95% of the bike videos you see on YouTube the bikes are provided by the brands involved. I believe in honesty and truth and so that's why I'm writing this note.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Happy International Childrens Day (...at least in China.) China Cycling 2020-06-01 | Back to normal programming soon! Been very busy these days, including spending more time with my family.

The Best Trainer You Cant Buy - Magene Gravat T300 Review China Cycling 2020-05-02 | The Magene Gravat T300 is a great trainer, I don't know what more I'd want from a static trainer at this point, but if you're outside of China a lack of support and complicated shipping will all but rule it out. If you're in China or have a way of getting one for the Chinese domestic retail price of around $550USD, it's an absolute bargain.//Help me out: Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/chinacycling//Corrections & Notes:In the video I stated the 'physical power meter' has been changed for an optical one.

Allez Sprint - Before/After being ran over by a 20 tonne truck. China Cycling 2020-03-08 | What's up everyone? A quick look at my Allez Sprint as it was about a year ago. This is (was) my most-ridden bike ever, and the one that I used as my main bike for three and a half years. Unfortunately it met it's end when it was ran over by the truck that broke my leg last September. I'm not sure if I miss the bike, or I miss riding on the bike without having titanium in my leg. But, anyway, I'm mainly uploading this for future memory's sake. Enjoy!
Is this the Best ̶C̶h̶i̶n̶e̶s̶e̶ Carbon Clincher Wheelset? China Cycling 2020-03-01 | http://bit.ly/WSHyper - Winspace HYPER Wheelspatreon.com/chinacycling - My PatreonI've been involved in the development of these wheels for about 6 months now. Riding prototypes and giving feedback and then helping with some photography and videography. I can honestly say these are the best wheels I've ever ridden. Carbon spokes make the wheels super stiff and responsive. You step on the pedals and the bike just GOES. Add some 25mm tires and you've got some aero beasts.Anyway, watch the video for the facts.//Info//All opinions and views expressed in this video are solely that of the presenter.

Bike Build - Winspace SLC w/ SRAM Force eTap AXS Disc (Thats a long name...) China Cycling 2020-02-09 | I got a new studio! (More on that in an update video coming soon) So to test out the studio I just grabbed a frame and grabbed a groupset and threw them together. These are probably the kind of videos I like editing the most. Just find a chill beat and try drop a relaxing edit. I did one a few years ago for my Allez Sprint. This bike was built just for practicing taking videos and photos, so you'll notice I didn't use a torque wrench and not every step of the build was recorded so it's not supposed to be a how-to of bike building. It was also my first time building a road bike with hydraulic discs... that stuffs annoying af. But... I hope you just enjoy the chill vibes.Thanks to Winspace for lending me the frame and groupset. I'll give it back when I'm finished....maybe. ;)🎵 Track Info:Title: A Magical Journey Through Space by Leonell Cassiosoundcloud.com/leonellcassioCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/a-magical-journey-thro...Music promoted by Audio Library youtu.be/DRwYhxVNwzU
