Nick is great. Loved him from the Cade Media stuff. Get Nick on as much as possible

This is the most informative gravel video I have seen. Everything clearly explained. Do more of these videos.

Halleluja, can't agree more that if you wrap properly (ie with enough tension) then it doesn't matter whether it's going forwards or backwards on the tops and drops.

The ass savers stuff is all good. The mullet is promoted as something to keep your feet dry on wet roads but it also works exceptionally well as a way to stop dirt and mud being flicked onto your chain by your front wheel.

The redshift cruise controls have double sided tape that is incredibly sticky. Doesn't needed to wrap them like that. Mines are pretty fixed and the visual is cleaner this way. Just a tip.
Also, I really recommend the other inserts! They are game changers! You can ride on the drops without any kind of discomfort and your hands don't bend. Actually, now I spend the majority of the time on the drops because of them!

Great video but I ended up getting sea sick due to ultra close filming.

SKS Speedrocker mudguards are what i use. Brilliant product, look good and velcro on. Thumbs up for Nick

[swecreations]

From what I've heard those elastomer suspension parts get really stiff when temperatures get into the negatives, so I would personally definitely opt for the ones with actual suspension on them (which do exist and are very good options).

Camelbak Mud Cap is great for keeping the dust out, and Specialized Zee bottle cage for sideloading.

I use the RedShift stem on my road bike and TT bike for Ironman too, it helps heaps.

14:51 @Nick, KS Rage-is is both a suspension and a dropper, also PNW Coast is both suspension and a dropper. Thanks Josh for a great video.

LOVE Win Wing. Must have accessory for me. So light and small it stays on my bike permanently. I put one of those anti rattle stickers for presta valves over the central pin which hides the two remaining unused holes.

Improving Nic's life ever since I met him. Nice t-shirt 🖤

Great Vid 🙂I run Redshift seatpost and stem... Game Changer on long rides - especially off road 🥳

[moobaz]

That was good. I love the explanations as to 'why' behind the products.

Hearing Nic rave about Enduro made me look up my bike's component specs and discover that the Wolftooth headset ships standard with Enduro sealed bearings with a stainless option 🦾

[BrianRPaterson]

I love those RedShift Top Grips. They're super comfy.

[lomicwind]

I have a Win Wing Ass Saver, extermely convenient, switch it from bike to bike and depending on the weather. And I have the suspension stem too ^_^

[carstenhm]

Like that you've noticed the Fidlock system 👍👍

"bolted mudguards are awful" - proceeds to strap half of halfords to a bike.
