    I am always amazed by people who want to do something but they have no actual clue on how to do it and what they are doing and if they do something wrong it can be a cause of a serious crash or worse. Take it to the people who actually know what they are doing. You might not have a youtube video, but it will be put together properly. On a positive note I still subscribed as I want to see where you go with that bike.

    Another great series. I'll never complain about my local hills again. The strength and effort you all put in, is inspiring. Not only to complete your daily rides -- but to have the mindfulness to capture the moment. When your tired, hungry, wet and cold. Out of breath from a steep climb or charging downhill, you still remember to get the shot. Send up the drone or set up the tripod for a ride-by. For us, the viewer, we can't thank you enough for the monumental endurance. & to top it all off, the editing is flawless. As a bonus,I learned about a place I knew absolutely nothing about. I can't wait to see what future adventures we'll be getting from Slow Spokes!

    How're you finding the bike now you've had a couple of months to test it out fully? It's definitely a journey to get to something that really works individually, and I think one you arrive at from a lot of miles of road testing! I had a bike built for me for a trip in 2016 and thought it'd be my forever bike for bikepacking adventures... spent a lot of money but found out fast it wasn't how I wanted to travel. It's fun and rewarding to build something that's truly your own, I really enjoyed watching this. Especially as you mentioned you're not a bike pro - many of these builds are show by mechanics or those with encyclopedic knowledge of every nut and bolt - you've given my hope that I'll build my own bike for a future trip! I also learned a lot from watching, so thanks for sharing! Happy cycling, sub'd :)

    • @slow_spokes
      @slow_spokes 15 дней назад

      These are some of the best questions we’ve gotten, thanks for asking them. We just got back from a tour in the Alps and I truly love the Rohloff and will never go back. The frame itself I think might be slightly too big for me (based on standover height) but honestly it worked fine. I will probably end up with a different frame in the future (currently have my eye on the panorama boreal) but because I have built this bike, I know I can transfer most of the parts over. I also think I might it try Jones bars. Honestly I didn’t realize how many people watch bike build videos and are used to watching experts. I should have though, since RUclips has literally everything. If I had realized this I might have been too intimidated to post it. As it is, I’m glad I did, because it seems a lot of people appreciated seeing a beginner learning as she goes. Thanks for joining us! Glad you found us! -Hillary
