I am about 5 weeks in and a few hundred miles now. Also have some 5 to 10 ten percent radiants - ratios are fine - not had any issues. Loving the bike. Scott
Ive had this bike for around a month, been on around 8 rides and had both the front and bike tyre blow out on me, very scary on a busy road. Road condition isnt the best but fairly even, no collisions with potholes. 7 bar pressure in the tyre, any ideas why this has happened? Second time it happened i cut my leg quite badly and ive been a bit hesitant to get back on it.
I am around 165cm/166cm height (5'5/5'6) accoridng to triban sizing right at the end of xs and right at the beginning of small. For me kts hard to find these bikes to lhysically go and size so at my height could i go with an xs even though it states its for sizes 154cm to 165cm?
@@PNSinstant Go with an XS if you want something more nimble, S if you want something slightly more stable. Or order both and send back the one you don't want, Decathlon is pretty chill with their return policy.
Please do feel free to subscribe. It would help so much. The disk brake version was a £200 more. Rim brakes have been great in the dry. In the wet, less so.
i just bought this bike this morning. on decathlon app for half price, then i am concerned about the brakes, but when bought this bike i just thinking to use this bike for routine exercise in the morning near my house, i hope this bike is enough for me
Hello, I need some advice. According to the guide, I should have chosen M for my height of 5'9" (175 cm), but it's not available. What do you think, should I go for the S or the L?
@@lanacbeks4579always go smaller if your size is not available. You can always adjust the seat post height and handle bar reach for longer. But can't make it shorter.
Exactly, you could be one unlucky crash away from a trashed frame, as aluminium is weakened after bending. Otherwise great bike for the money, i use the disc version for gravel.
Lots of parts in store including stems have BTwin branding. The bike has Decathlon written on the front. I don’t feel it detracts from the bikes great value. Please do feel free to subscribe.

Nice review thanks ....thinking of buying the disk brake gravel version of this .. liked amd sub
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for the sub. Will be doing an update video on the bike soon.
Nice concise review
Can a 5 '11 tall ride a medium size road or hybrid bike?
You may need a large
Hello, how does if feel for climbing? Living around malvern some of our gradients are 5-10% average. Thank you.
I am about 5 weeks in and a few hundred miles now.
Also have some 5 to 10 ten percent radiants - ratios are fine - not had any issues.
Loving the bike.
Scott
If you like climbing that means you are not a beginner then you should not buy this bike
Just bought this bike for £316 after seeing lots of reviews. Might see you around the streets of Telford 👍
Excellent. Will be doing a long term review and have added Van Rysel clippers pedals and Triban shoes.
I used to ride on the road a bit and had clipless pedals back then, definitely going to upgrade those as soon as i can. Subscribed 👍
@@louthepoo4436 Thank you for the sub. Hope the video helped.
Rim brake yes! If you don't ride in the rain and downhill over 45 mph, you don't need disc
Totally agrree

About 1000 miles in now. No punctures. Maybe just bad luck?

nice vid👍
Many thanks
what is your height,i am 178 should i go for m or l size frame,plz do tell
I am your height. Medium is perfect for me.
I am around 165cm/166cm height (5'5/5'6) accoridng to triban sizing right at the end of xs and right at the beginning of small. For me kts hard to find these bikes to lhysically go and size so at my height could i go with an xs even though it states its for sizes 154cm to 165cm?
Do you live near a Decathlon store?
@@ScottJonesMTB nope lol closest is about 8 hours away from me. That's why with being very new to cycling the sizing seems to be very difficult

how good is the rim brakes? can we upgrade to disc brakes?

@@barbarone68 I have honestly had no issues with the brakes.
No, you can't "upgrade" a rim brake bike to disc brakes. Wheels aren't the same, frame won't be the same, fork, groupset etc.

I am 5 feet 10 and the medium is perfect.
@@ScottJonesMTB there will be no restock for size M, so i should choose between S or L

I am 176 and for me L is perfect.
Not a fan of the derailed hanger
In what way? There is no hanger?

Why does the stem say "BTWin 100" and not "Triban RC 120"??!?
They did not even bothered to rebrand their old left stock?!? What a shame

Because it's a btwin 100mm stem

I don’t understand??
