Or are 28s enough???luis scott2025-02-25 | The cycling community seems to be pulled in many different directions in light of many recent innovations. More aero, more compliant and stiffer all converge at once to create a tech soup of items that begs the question... should I or shouldn't I? In the midst of all this is the debate about tire width, volume and capacity. For years we were fine on 23 which got bumped up to 25 and now 28. However, we are now being told that we should all be looking at 32, 34 or greater! In this video, I go to the community and ask the questions to find out, what cyclists are actually running on their bike. I also ask, what they require as a minimum tire clearance from their next bike purchase. The findings are interesting. #fastrides #grouprides #foridariding

Cinelli nemo gravel tig... yes, its steel. And if you are unfamiliar with my channel, I will typically take a steel frame bike out on group rides. You can find those videos all over my channel. Anyway. I hope you enjoy the footage. Happy training.

It is an actual savings of 340 grams, not 34 grams, as stated in the video. I apologize for the misinformation _____________________________
In this video, I go over the process of upgrading the groupset on my Basso Diamante from mid level SRAM Force to top of the range Campagnolo Super Record EPS 12. I have previously done a wheelset upgrade, and there really isn't any improvement to be gained from upgrading the already premium touchpoints. The only thing left to tamper with is the groupset. I discuss my expectations and results after taking the bike out on a fast group ride to assess what benefits... if any could be gained from doing a similar upgrade. #bassodiamante #campagnolo #eps
