Annoying music and sound files…the bane of YouTube.
The one with wider tires has become a mountain bike.
what i learned: when you get old get the all comfort gravel mercedes to retire. when you are about the real thing and still hungry for dirt get an awsome genuine cyclocross. great camera and editing job btw!

Another gravel cross race please!
Vor zwei Jahren habe ich noch über die Gravelbikes gelacht und mir ein Focus Mares Apex gekauft. Dies ist natürlich sehr nervös, sportlich und hart. Die Übersetzung ist auch nicht für steile Anstiege geeignet. Jetzt finde ich die Gravelbikes sehr sinnvoll – gerade das Canyon Grail AL ist sehr gelungen.
Where was this shot?
Meh….Just ride a mountain bike in the dirt and a road bike on the road.
These things don’t really look safe to me.
Am I the only one who found the thug lyfe glasses hilarious !?!?!?! Fuego edit my dudes!!!
The Canyon gravel bike has only two sets of water bottle bosses and no mounting points on the fork? I think a Jamis Renegade would be a much better choice, at least for the style of gravel riding we do in the USA.

Three boring minutes
a roadies track bike?
This seat post is angled another 2 degrees back. I’m going to call it a downhill cross bike.
do you even track???
If you are the one spending the money then buy what you want just do some research first.
Isnt this the same shit as a mountain bike with bullhorn bars
Just get a hardtail mountain bike and problem solved. I don’t know why that kind of bikes are even created. Next step a bike for sand with grains size between 0.145678mm to 0.876543mm in the temperature of 17 degrees. Pointless creating those categories.
Hey Zach! Love your videos and it’s a good way to learn more about cycling broadly and fixed gear bikes specifically. I just got done watching your “spec a fixed gear” video and it was great. Buuuuuuut, it may be helpful to cover conversions from road to fixed bikes. I got my start on a converted steel Trek from the 80s. It’s usually waaaaay cheaper to start out that way and it might be helpful for those that want to dip their toes in without dropping a month of rent on a beginner bike. Happy to give a little input on common pitfalls and tips and tricks if you’d like. Thanks for making these videos!
I wouldnt use a stem integrated handlebar even if i got it for free
its no wonder car drivers don’t like bike with you two lad`s , another top vid lad`s , you your team keep up the good work
can bike people please stop wearing spandex pants? =(
Thoose thug lyfe glasses LOLZ subtle, but dope!!!
Quero comprar uma. como faço?
Cross bikes are for racing cyclocross, imo. Might as well ride road and trails if thats your thing.
I had a very good crossbike from Simplon, but as I tested the Specialized Diverge I immediately switched – with no regrets. Cyclocross is for Cyclocross Racing, and Gravelbikes are for Cyclists who want to habe a bike for a littel offroad or bad cycling paths. I am the latter, and wont ever go back
ㅎㅇㅎㅇ
Question.
I would like you to try a steel touring bike but with 50mm tires. How would this compare with the two bikes used today on today’s course? I am wondering if the most important feature is tire size.
you are baked
I use my gravel bike as a super utility player… commuting and light touring in addition to gravel. I have a dedicated road bike for longer or faster road riding.
fucking gross
gago supot kapa
can you ride road cranks/chainring with a track chain? isn‘t the trackchain wider?
The name.. Thats the difference
Yo. Zach. Bike checks need some clips of you actually riding the bike. Cmooooooonnnn
3:04 and 7:46 left side on the wall .its called re- inventing the wheel (going backwards ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToZeLw-t0P8
Lots of extra parts, surprised about the 2nd chainring!
How do retro Mountain bikes of the early 90s compare with the current cyclocross or gravel bikes. Bikes like the Stumpjumper， Rockhopper， the Gary Fishers， Kona， Kuwahara and my KHS Montana Team.
Hello Zach, could you please look at this bike, im very out of budget, this is the cheapest bike in my Area. I dont know if its crap or not, because I do not find any data in the internet about this model, maybe you can help me.

Are the bikes you post someone else’s and you record the video yourself?
Put some clothes on.
cash cash money making…..
only reason really
God that is beautiful. I would trade my Cannondale 04 track bike for this in a sec.

7:55, the song. is it asking alexandria?
Hey, Zach! I know you’re all about those work horse steel bikes like the wabi and cinelli mash works. I was just wondering your opinion on the Surly Steamroller?
Hi Zach!
Can you talk about road safety? I got hit by a car the other day, and while I was wearing a helmet, I still got quite injured (many broken facial bones). I’d love to know if you had any accidents, how you got over the fear of riding etc. Also any tips on avoiding accidents. Basically being a better commuter, although in my case it was the car’s fault. :/
Both very ugly
You DON’T like the paint scheme? Bruh I’m leaking.
make frame factory : http://www.tantancycling.com
Wait wait wait, what was Ollie’s results??? Dislike until you unhide it! :/
Dang
Am I alone in my disdain for that stupid biplane handlebar? Worst innovation if the decade would get my vote!
i own this bike
what is the size for youuu please make a video
I bought a Merida Silex 700 in 2018 and it’s useless.
Big construction fault and bad design on mounts for back rack.
why no videos
Cross or gravel, what’s your choice?
What do you think of the Retrospec Mantra V2?
do you recommend thislick tyres?
Gosh that’s a jolly good looking bike.
Pedals are pronounced xe-lium
