The final piece of the Winspace puzzle (Why I have the Merida Reacto 6000)

Enter promo code: CAMNICHOLLS for 10% off

A couple of months ago I provided a review / first impressions on the Winspace T1500. In that video I said I would be looking to comparing the Winspace to other bikes in the same price category! Well, now we have the Giant Propel Advanced One and the Merida Reacto 6000 to compare. A triple headed review will be coming your way, but to whet the appetite in this video, I will be testing the Reacto against the Winspace on a false flat section here in Noosa. I will also be providing an update on my 165 mm cranks, in part two.

5 bikes. It's OK to admit you have a bike problem. It's the first step to recovery.

I know you're currently concentrating on these 'aero bricks' at the moment, and it's great keep it up. But what would be great in future if possible would be to try and borrow an SL7 or something, purported to be a lightweight and aero 'one bike to rule them all' wouldn't it be great to see how fast it was up Gyndia compared to bikes such as the Cannondales and also on a flat compared to the Winspace and Reacto say, see if it can live up to its hype

The Fulcrum Racing 800 db wheels on the Reacto weigh 1960 grams, so you could easily drop 500 grams in bike weight with a set of carbon wheels.

Calibration complete, love it Cam !!!

Just got 1 today of the Merida Reacto 6000, helped me decide on getting this one cam.will give this one a road test tomorrow.keep posting more videos like this.👍

From a perspective of people who buy whole bikes and try to decide between those 3 products certainly this is super valuable content.

I build and service my own bikes. (whole 2 of them). I wouldn't even weight those bikes that way (one bike alloy wheels, other carbon).

Cam your videos are great! Really loving the new bike comparisons.

[davidtyler]

Once again you’ve delivered Cam.
Yes the day our kids tell us to in a way ‘bugger off and let me get to school’, does leave a somewhat emptiness in ones gut. I remember.
I must admit to having bike envy and would love to add a BMC and Factor to my shed.
As always, enjoyed the presentation. 🚴‍♂️

Hey Cam, your specialized cleat plate which is stuck on- Try putting the bolts back into the other two holes to hold the plate inside the shoe and then try wrenching on the stuck bolt

Cam: Hi my name’s s Cam and I’m a bikaholic. It’s been three weeks since my last bike purchase.
Other bikaholics: Hi Cam.

Great video and glad you retested the Winspace

Hey Cam, when you get around to doing all 3 bikes on the same wheels, I think it's be great to specifically note that the same tires are also being used. We tend to focus on "the wheels" without mentioning what tires are on each bike. In my own testing between different wheels and tires I've seen tires have the single most dramatic effect on times. I recently got a Trek Domane that comes stock with Bontrager R2 tires, and swapping them for Schwalbe Pro Ones cut a massive 6m9s off a 90min ride. Where as the times between my bikes if I ran the same wheels and tires were really close, within a minute over a 90m ride at the same power avg.

Mate, you are a legend! Thanks for posting these great videos. Your videos always make me smile! :)

[jimmyhor]

Fantastic content! Keeps getting better and better.

[Raptors]

Mate, I love your videos. Thank you for making them! I know how much time you invest in the channel and I appreciate them. I also love getting a glimpse at your beautiful country. I live in 🇺🇸 and I hope to visit one day!

[lambo]

thank you kindly for the freehub soundchecks

[rallyslag]

Really liking this content! Glad you've done some science and taken the same bike up Gyndia with both power meters because you can calculate a percentage difference between them now to account for reading errors. Interesting to see the Winspace is still the same speed and makes you realise how fast the Cannondales were, also that those alloy Zipp wheels are also still faster. Really looking forward to seeing all the bikes with the same wheelset coming up, keep up the good work!

[travismcgarry]

I love been 2 weeks on the 50mm Hyper wheels and damn I’m impressed so far…

[AdamEwart]

I find it interesting, and a bit ridiculous, that people see need to argue your points on various topics, as if it even makes a difference. Most of your findings or observations really are anecdotal or personal to your own experience, and never intended to imply one thing is universally better than another. Honestly, these types aren't even worth drawing attention to, or give any air time at all.

Furthermore, loving no pants Thursday, please make this a regular feature! 😍😍😄

Hey Cam, great to see the channel growing and you having access to funding for new projects. More importantly, the revenue to fund this content is not coming from the bike industry advertising or promotions, which i find quite rare in the niche you are. This should encourage unbiased views.

Would love to see the Emonda SL7, just got one on the weekend and cannot wait to ride it. It looks stunning just looking at it! The SL6 Pro has had a fair bit of coverage else where, but the SL7 none really. The SL6 would reach more people though, I was planning to get that one but got a good deal on the SL7.
