THank you payride

Loved watching you only the long cage derailluer then everything perfect

Sounds like a big no-go I'm glad because I was just looking at these literally last week

Great RUclips channel! Cheers from San Francisco ✌️

Wow ❤ Thank you so much for this video✌️

Very informative video. Only recently heard of the OBED brand. Their website model looks appealing too. Love the musical background you've included. Good job!

How is the comfortability on this bike? I’ll be looking to get a new gravel bike and that is one of the top priorities on my list to put a lot more miles down. Thanks for the great review!

Man we rode that shit back in the 80’s. Y’all aint local.

why the music? turned off the video. how does music possibly add to the commentary?

I used to ride that trail, as well as around UCSB, back in the '70s when I lived in the L.A. area. It was my favorite trail. This video sure brings back fond memories of that area.

Thanks for the video! Helped a lot

Good video explanation! Just my opinion, but music that accompanies the commentary is not necessary. As a matter of fact, it's like the hub noise that you described. ha ha It distracts from what you are saying. Thx!

Romero Canyon wow that brings back memories of my time at UCSB and just getting into mountain biking!! Good stuff!

Hey, nice review! I have a question. I can use these shoes for walking without hearing the metal noise touching the ground? I go with the bike at work and from the parking space until the office i have a stone flat surface for 500 meters Thank you! Waiting for your answer!

I just came across this video, I really want to ride this. But I can not find the actual route on your strava pages.Could you somehow give a link to that route? Thank you

I climbed the Mont Ventoux in France on an 11-30 last year. It was hard! This year, I used an 11-34 and my climb was 15 minutes faster!!

My heels slip in these. I am returning them.

Great overall review, and thanks for the review. Pros and Cons are always welcome from someone who suffered them. It'd be great you add your review about the bike riding experience, how do you like your bike or not, besides your purchasing experience

Good video. I have completed the same. My only suggestion to you and what I did on a 10 speed 105 to increase to 11-34 cassette is to replace short cage rear derailleur with a medium/long cage derailleur, so gears will shift correctly.

There's a few trails up here in Ojai that aren't that intense . They're nice too and one is by some water..One is in Meiners Oaks the other being Shelf Road

Any feedback after a couple years with your Warbird? I’m a fellow big guy and looking for a more dirt oriented rig to go along with my commuter.

Please, pay your electricity bill so that you can have more light in the next video... we can't see a thing and I confess that I have not developed night vision yet without special googles yet!

Did you ever make a follow up of this video. I am doing the same thing to my Giant.

Great video! Do they go size to size? On the label, the inscription and insole correspond to the size?

I wonder if I can do this to my used road bike. I am new to this but live in a hilly area

watch a video on how to use and switching your gears

Just found your channel. I'm local. Hope you guys will make some more content. Lots of great rides in the SB area!

Good review and I love the color. I was looking at the same build, Pine/Black graphics.

Good info. Great job.

How long was the ride?

I just bought the same bike used in light blue. Still setting it up - can't wait to try it out. Thanks for the review.

Awesome Video!

I know this is an older video but maybe someone looking for a gravel bike on the small side (or larger than average) might find my long comment helpful (I have learned a lot over 20+ years buying my own bikes being outside the normal fit....I am taller than average and shopping for my 5'5" wife being shorter than average was the exact same deal but in reverse.) . The OBED boundary is an open mold frame sold under MANY MANY MNY different names (its a Carbonda 696 and offered in 6 sizes 49,52,54,56,58, and 61 and runs about 650US frame and fork TYD) Not picking on Obed, many bike "brands" do not want to stock the full range and purchase the middle easy to sell average sizes and stretch the suggested height range scales they post (they lie) Im 6'3" and I need a higher stack height to keep my saddle from towering over my bars like a pro road racer and a longer reach... the 61 I own just makes for a good fit could go a tick higher in stack being its more of a rougher going/big tire/bike packing style bike) BUT OBED lists the an XL going up to 6'5... thats ludicrous. Same with the so called "XS" they list the 52 as there "XS" and its just not my wife at 5'5" would be showing very little seat post making for a very non complaint ride and as mentioned in the video really tight standover PLUS a bike that small with 38c or above really should be 650b not 700c (29) toe overlap and geo going that small just down work with suck big wheels. I feel the frame prices OBED lists are pretty outrageous BUT the total bike prices are actually really good... not much more than what I spent building my own and actually cheaper if I had to buy some of the more pricey tools for this build. *thats not even factoring in the warranty and/or customer service you would get going with a "brand". I absolutely LOVE this bike, got mine in 2019 and have well over 5000 miles+ on it (2200+ loaded on trips) but if I had purchased an OBED "XL" it would have been a literal pain the neck and been gathering dust in the garage and eventually sold. This comment could be a page long if I went into fitting, do research make sure you get the right size. DO NOT go by any brands suggested size especially if you are shorter or taller than the "average" honestly even if you are "average" your dimensions could move you up or down a size. Bike brands WILL suggest what they have 100%, I have XL bikes listed up to 6'7" LOL

This isn’t a bike review; it is a review of Obed’s customer service during a time of unprecedented demand and shortages. It would have been nice to learn how the bike actually performed.

Are e-bikes allowed out here?

Same exact dimensions as the Framed Basswood which implies this is a stock frame purchased from a manufacturer. Doesn't mean it's bad, but it isn't "special". It's dimensions imply something closer to a road bike... doesn't have much slack in comparison to today's longer, slacker gravel bikes.

Press fit .... pass

Thank you so much for doing this video and provide directions as wife and I are ready to embark into trying bikepacking. Cheers and be safe! 😊

Poseidon makes a excellent Gravel bike for below 1k

Sister, I’m right there with you, regarding your outlook on preferring “gravel riding” versus “crazy mountain biking”. Nothing against hard core mountain bike riding….hell, I admire those men and women who do it! But, I’m a 68 year old male….retired Navy Officer and a retired Federal Law Enforcement Officer. In those two careers, I’ve had more than my share of “crazy crap”. In fact, I now deal with a back injury from an old Navy aircraft accident….and my speed when running and swimming, isn’t what it used to be. While I still run, backpack, kayak, bikepack, hike, golf….my “crazy crap” days are done. Long distance bikepacking/off road touring to isolated fly fishing spots….well, that’s as crazy as I’ll ride. My primary off road ride is a Chumba Stella ti…..but I’m thinking that a drop bar gravel ride might be better. Yours was an outstanding video…..your online communication skills are excellent. Be well, always be safe…And wishing you many “smiles with the miles”!

thanks for the awesome video man!

thx for the video! the mechs around my REI are pretty bad

Obed, AKA Litespeed. Well American Bicycle Group.

Great bike!

I own one of these and it's the most troublesome bike I've ever owned. Highly recommend going with a different brand. I bought my bike when they were going by a different name. I think Obed is their third name. Given my experience I'm not surprised.

You were so close to Santa Barbara’s hidden little gems. Just had to go three more miles. If you did go there thanks for not posting pictures of it. The Locals would like to keep the place a forgotten secret and if you didn’t and go back and find it don’t tell anybody where it is or post any pictures please

It's been a year, and there are still no updates. I hope you didn't fall off your bike with the wrong long chain.

I have a 12 a speed ultegra 11-30, if i change to 11-34 do I need to modify or change any set up of my rd / fd? Thanks

How do you take enough water with you? Maybe it's only me but I need to drink a ton so I don't get dehydrated.

What do you think about the rim 1.0 without the boa?
