This was one of the hardest videos to make, because the thing that sets this product apart is the sound quality, and there's no way for me to "show" that through a video.
I love music when riding, but because of the "tinny" nature of bone conducting earphones I can't listen to it for more than an hour or two before it really starts to grind on me.
I get 2-3 emails per month from bone conducting headphones manufacturers, and I pass on them all, even though they offer a good paycheck. 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!

The L-TWOO RX Hydraulic Groupset has potential to be a real game changer, but unfortunately I have some problems that are preventing it reaching it's true potential. In this video I talk through the problems I'm having as well as some comparisons to @TraceVelo 's recent unboxing.

📝 Description
I love tubeless, but getting it set up is often a pain in the ass. I have these two gadgets that make the process a lot easier. The Xiaomi pump I've been using for a while to top up my tires, but it doesn't have enough kick to seat a tubeless tire on the rim. That's when I found someone selling converted fire extinguishers here in China. I can't find a seller than ships them to overseas, but there are a few guides out there on how to make one yourself...or, if you have $70 lying around, you can just buy a Schwalbe Tubeless Booster tank or equivalent.

06:38 Summary
I've been tracking my heart rate during rides for around 10 years, and been tracking my heart-rate off the bike for about 6-7 years. 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.

📝 Description:
Back in Summer I was in a bit of a rut in cycling. 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!

⚠ 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.

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. Hydraulic brakes and crisp shifting all at an unbelievably low price. Finally there's a chance to make high-performance, low-cost disc brake drop-bar bikes.

📝 Description
I've been using Insta360 products for years, so when they got in touch to let me test out their latest camera early, I jumped at the chance. The Insta360 X3 is a solid upgrade over the X2 and I think it's really the single-camera solution for any cyclist who wants to make video content!

📝 The Magene L508 is the first non-Garmin bike radar on the market, so how does it compare? 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.

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.

I've been using Insta360 products for years, so when they got in touch to let me test out their latest bike mount early, I jumped at the chance. It's really cool that they're listening to cyclists and developing new ways to mount cameras on our bikes. I used the new mount for a 4-5 days and got some incredible footage. Looking forward to seeing what I can do with it going forwards.

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.com

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.

Note: 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. Be sure to check out @gplama 's review too: youtube.com/watch?v=2gLgB98FP7M

I 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.

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!

This bike was original built up by InCycle and a video shot by them. They gave me written permission to re-edit and re-upload their content here. 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... Xiamen is definitely not in Taiwan. 😂

Disclaimer: I am not an engineer by any stretch of the imagination. I noticed when editing this video I called a "nut" a "screw" and many other stupid mistakes...you get the idea. I got the Token BB for free with my frame and the Hambini BB was also provided free for review purposes over 1yr ago and it's been sitting in my cupboard waiting for a build I have upcoming. 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. All opinions expressed in this video are mine alone and neither of the manufacturers have seen this video prior to it's release.

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. Anyway, they paid for me to travel out there, so, I thought I'd flag it as paid promotion.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In the video I stated the 'physical power meter' has been changed for an optical one. I should have said 'physical strain-gauge power meter.'

I'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.
