My Giro Aether has hit my self-imposed 3 year replacement milestone. How did it hold up? What did I like? What didn't I like? Will I be buying another?
Returning from injury SUCKS (2x broken bones = weakness)

After approximately 2.5 months off of the bike I am out of my cast and cleared to return to riding on the road. This video is from immediately after my second ride back after breaking my wrist (scaphoid) and elbow (ulna).

What did you buy on Black Friday? I try and bargain shop for my next year of cycling during the annual chaos that is Black Friday. Check out what I'm going to be wearing and using over the next 12 months.

Hi I have this light but when you turn it on if you release the button to quickly the light goes out and the green light on button goes out and then the light is locked in the instructions it says press the button for 8 secounds then it's unlocked I've tried that but still no light. The only way is to plug it into the USB socket to unlock it not very good
I haven't run into this. Thanks for the alert!
Great video. I'm planning on taking this route to the LA Metro North Hollywood subway station. I think the route map in the lower left corner might be off though. When you get to Victory & Desoto the location on the route map appears to show that you're still on Canoga.
Thanks! Unfortunately the software I was using was being deprecated by GoPro (it was called Dashware) and it had some....issues.....
Спасибо за честный обзор 🤝
How heavy is the Large?
Honestly I don't know. I have a big head and require an XL. I would 100% weigh it if Giro would send one of each :)
@@theunemployedcyclist4588 Well the L is the largest with the Manifest! If you have the L i would like to know how much does it weigh?
@@celpabedn Hmm. Let me check the sizing on my helmet. I will get back to you.
Enjoyed the drive to the park. Reminded me of my least fav thing. My commute. Why not just skip the long car abd bike ride and start the tour at the film site.
I felt the same way after a while and dropped the drive in later videos :)

Morning!
I've been full immersive waxing for 4 years now so I know what you say is true. Hopefully you are not still using the pan for heating the wax. A slow cooker / crock pot gives better temperature control and you will not heat the wax too fast and risk damaging it. I think you will find the Zero Friction Cycling youtube channel useful, if you've not already discovered it ? Since you already have waxing experience , I will start you off part way through the current video at ruclips.net/video/ZEfi2HOfqpM/видео.html . I get an unintended mention in the last section of that video. I guess he wanted to give me a surprise ! Adam Kerin also has a site containing guides for chain prep , master link guides etc , the link for which is on the main YT channel page.
Thanks for the heads up! I have switched to a cheap crockpot after almost setting the house on fire with the pot :)
Jim, thanks for this awesome video. I'm coming out to LA in September and will do this ride (either out and back to Baldy or the loop like in your video). This video is extremely helpful to me on many levels. Thanks!
May God Bless Kobe Bryant And Gianna Bryant Amen 🙏
Rip Kobe Bryant And Gianna Bryant
i think this is perfect for my after ride meals , where the bike wont be out of sight for more than 5 minutes.

Coming out of retirement
There was a video a while back of a big cycling channel telling small creators to just not even try anymore and cede the space to them. Nope. Not happening. I'll never be huge but I'll be damned if someone else wants a monopoly. After a year of injuries and setbacks I'm going to try and become more regular with uploads in 2024.
I'm no expert, but it seems like you go faster on the downhill segments.
I have gotten a LOT more comfortable with speed on dirt :)
👃🧦
Thanks
Is this the guy beat up the trump sign ?
???
Good info. I noticed mine was wearing after, despite putting anew chain on and indexing my derailleur, I still got an irritating clicking noise from the rear while the drivetrain was under stress. I turned the barrel adjuster and it went away briefly, but would keep coming back.
If it's clicking under power with a new chain your cassette is worn out :(
not necessarily true. It could also be due to improper indexing on the rear derailleur. @@theunemployedcyclist4588
that cassette is beyond gone, suprising it was your largest sprocket though, unless your doing a lot of climbing, can't imagine what your smaller 3 look like lol.
Thanks! I was doing a TON of climbing when I ate the sprocket. My long ride was 40 miles and 6000' of climbing 1-3x/week when I made this video. All the other sprockets looked [close to] brand new.
Is it because the last teeth is aluminum? The first 10 are steel which are more durable
it could be saved by teeth reshaping, i am just preparing to make video
Teeth reshaping? On Aluminum?
no matter of material, but must not be worn all tooth lenght ,if teeth look like pyramid it is maybe too late, i had front middle gear ring 32 teeth that had broken 3-4 teeth ,i reshaped all teeth much deeper, and rotated position with missed teeth on 12 and 6 hours(at crank position) and it worked for very long time
@@makantahi3731 I'm not down with "reshaping" teeth. As you eat into the base material you reduce strength, increasing the likelihood that you can get stranded. I picked up 3x cassettes on 4th of July sale for $50 each. They're just collecting dust until I need them. 100% worth it to avoid an hours long hike to the trailhead with a busted bike.
@@theunemployedcyclist4588i used ring gear with 32 teeth and some were broken due to shimano bad design,so i got it for free,reshaped,and used very long time,and i am not weak,i broke 2-3 shimano LX-XT hubs on some very steep hills,but not teeth on reshaped toothless ring gear
Is it not closed anymore?
still closed
It has unfortunately been closed for years and there is no ETA (that I've seen) for it to reopen.
Solid bike. Sorry about your knee trouble. That said, imagine if the chainrings were on that side of the bicycle. That pedal is no further out from the bike's centerline than the right one.
Thanks. I have it on the trainer now (another injury) and I'm taking it easy getting back into mileage to avoid knee problems.
Finally someone else who understands gloves making hands numb. Nobody seems to understand. If I ride my motorbike more than an hour with padded Armour gloves my hands get tingly. If I take them off they never get tingly. Hopefully these gloves solve my issues
How did the new gloves treat you?
@@theunemployedcyclist4588 amazing lol!
@@Bimmer-Fonz Most excellent!
@@theunemployedcyclist4588 yessir thanks for the review!
If it's only one of the spokes just wrap it around another spoke until you can get it fixed. Just don't do any jumps or drops👍
I've done that with my old frame but this frame has so little clearance for 25mm tires that one spoke pop = tire rubbing frame :(
as I am also a unemployed cyclist, I salute!
Thank you! Stay safe on the road in that crazy state.
🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!
It’s Ant+ and not Bluetooth. It allows the light to turn on/off when you start/stop and activity with a compatible device. This is my favorite feature about the light
Hmm. Did not know this was a feature. I'll see if I can get it to sync with my watch.
LA is forever Kobe Bryant city!
Rip kobe and gigi and other 7 people family
Raod riding scares the hell out of me, drivers definitely don't care
Legit concern. What I've experienced in a decade in LA is incredibly inattentive drivers. Post-pandemic certain drivers have turned into massive assholes, but they're still not as outright spiteful and dangerous as drivers in Michigan.
le man devil drives his his el coupe devil true mandeville canyon, or was that a she...riding my bike down that canyon was tiring, it felt like i was going up hill.
Love the vids, it's your radio voice we love
Thank you! This is the second time in my life I've been told I have a "Radio Voice". First time was on a good microphone playing WoW.
NEVER be in a hurry to go Anywhere. If it's really important, it'll be around when you get there.
Props to the drivers who are considerate of riders
100%. Wish I had kept the video from my gopro to splice into this video.
They don’t even mention the other family’s that past away that is so SAD they were just as important as Kobe n Gianna Beside’s if Kobe wouldn’t of had His pilot fly in those condition they would be here today RIP
I will be the first to admit I'm no Kobe fan, but what you said is factually incorrect. Per the NTSB report any pressure to fly was self-induced: apnews.com/article/basketball-transportation-kobe-bryant-california-us-news-7f18e94df85ae188cf2bc68c98ad0e73 "The board said it was likely he felt self-induced pressure to deliver Bryant to the destination."
Lorraine Garcia --Neither Bryant nor any passenger shares in the blame for the accident. The pilot alone makes the decision to fly. Moreover, Bryant wasn't in a position to assess the conditions for flight anyway. He naturally, and reasonably, trusted the pilot's judgment.
@@cardinalRG Thank you. I wasn't going to comment any more on this topic. Appreciate you hopping in.
This is the way to go talk To camera
This Is The Way
Keep fighting
Thank you. That's the plan.

Takes less than a second to cut with simple tin shears.
Have you tried this? First time I've heard that it's that insecure. I got this as a "lock the bike to the roof of my car / stop people from just rolling away with my bike", not as a "stop determined thief" type tool. Basically nothing stops thieves in LA these days. They're using tools like this to cut locks: www.makitatools.com/products/details/XCS01Z
@@theunemployedcyclist4588 Search RUclips for "lockpickinglawyer ottolock". 4 years ago he literally snipped it in no time flat with the cheapest tin shears he could find.
@@elricthebald Well son of a bitch. Thanks for sending me that direction.
You inspire me with your structured life! Im not a cyclist but I'm here to tell you every journey in life has a greater purpose. KEEP FOLLOWING YOUR DREAMS, GRINDING, and with some work your dreams will be reality. I just stumbled upon this video randomly without seeing you before and I see a spark in you. Keep going.
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words :)
Thx for the video, keep up that training. I just registered for, finish the ride at Griffith park. You still on Strava?
Thank you! I am still on Strava, though not posting to the account associated with this channel until I have new routes to share. How did Finish the Ride Griffith go?
Thanks sir
You're welcome.
🚵🏽♂️💪🏽👍🏽
Thanks!
Cranking out those videos 💪🏽🚵🏽♂️ love that local trail
More to come!
You got screwed, similar thing happened to me as well. I got lucky & a $1 helped
100%. Short ride and I didn't have anything to boot it with.
Hope you got picked up but if you're still there let me know and I'll grab some food for you 😎
@@InsufficientSleep Thanks! Wife came to get me. Hope your frame is all good.
@@theunemployedcyclist4588 I guess time will tell 🙃
Sorry about that ruptured disc, but glad you're back to cycling! You sharing that you have ADD shines an interesting light on you, your cycling, and your channel, if you weren't kidding about that. 👍
I was only slightly kidding about it. As I live longer and longer I wonder if there is something undiagnosed there. Thanks!
Great to have you back 👍🏽🚵🏽♂️💪🏽
Thanks! Glad to be back :). A couple days off for recovery (and rain) and back to it Wednesday :)
