Thanks barry your video helped me out alot i went with the redshift seatpost, i changed the crankset to a grx810 with a wolf tooth oval chainring 46T with one component pedals, i changed the stem to a shorter 70mm sworks, a bontrager aelous elite saddle i changed the tires to roubaix pro 2 bliss 700x30/32 and change the cassette to 11-28 gs 8000 ultegra quite a bit of difference in speed and take off overall i spent around 500 bucks because i know someone at the shop so for me it was well worth it and im very happy with the bike as it sits thanks for your help with the videos!
I also have a 2019 XSirrus XComp. I have put 7,000 miles on the bike since 2019. I also added bar ends, a Cgr - Carbon seat post and pathfinder tires. The other change I mades was to change the front chain ring to a 40T. This was a great improvement. It seemed to wake up the bike. The bike climbs hills easier and is easier to maintain speed because of the higher RPM. This is a great bike. I appreciate your video. Great Bike.
You’re welcome - I was considering the same / similar chainring change - I always find I’d prefer to get more from the higher gears - I’m far less bothered about how fast I can go, more about how much I can climb.
Brilliant video. I’ve got the poverty spec 2.0 as new back to cycling and didn’t want to spunk big money just to have it not used. But I love it and as a bigger / taller chap too I’m looking at the 5.0 now for the future shock benefits on the wrists. That seat post looks like a great idea.
Great insight Barry, Thanks. Pretty much exactly the same accessories apart from the expensive seat post that i used on my GT Avalanche Expert MTB, I have got fed up with slowing to a virtual stop on the hills due to the bike weight, just sold it and saving for the Sirrus X Carbon comp as they do it in XXL. Loving your videos keep them coming please.
If you watch my new video (this Friday 1pm UK) , I ended up in a forest mountain biking on the Sirrus X and I can tell you it doesn't work! I also tried out a really nice quality Trek over the weekend and it felt very different - not in a bad way, but I am certain it would take a lot of getting used to... I think you will really love the mix of lightweight riding and variety / accessibility the Sirrus offers. I am seriously enjoying riding for the first time in my almost 50years!
Thank you. t's an incredible upgrade - you can tell how much I love it... expensive, but the experience is really something. It extends your rides and makes you enjoy every part of it.
Thank you Tom - it'll be in 4k in a few hours...(looks awful at the moment!) I am thinking of starting a Hybrid Cycle Channel and seeing if I can get some help from my local bike shop, just for the fun of it.
8bitBarry1 it looked ok on my phone (got an iPhone with a 4.7 inch screen) my WiFi is not capable of 4K. I think help from a local bike shop would be great and help you create more content.
That seat post looks fantastic. The sirrus 5.0 does feel a little rigid on gravel, so....looking at it on Amazon! Really appreciate your videos on the carbon comp / 5.0.
You are most welcome - new video about the seatpost / stem in the making - I have to say (but please appreciate my knowledge of other bikes / gravel bike is minimal as I am new to all this) that I find the experience on gravel and tracks to be really enjoyable, even more so since the seatpost was installed. The width of the tyres has a lot to do with it, and I feel the ones that ship with the bike (Trigger 700x38c) are really good for all rides, urban and countryside. Again, I dont have anything to compare this with so please forgive me.
You're too kind - thank you... I'll make some more. I think I am going to do a Shockstop / Future Shock riding video next, showing them in action... not sure how to do it effectively right now
I agree on the pedals, way too small. The v12’s work much better. I also use the redshift suspension seat post, love it. My seat had to go as well, the original seat was way too hard.
@@seventiesandbeyond I have to say I am not knowledgable on bike maintenance other than the basics. I do clean it thoroughly after every dusty / wet ride, but I am yet to need to do anything major. When I do, be sure I will make some videos.
Enjoyed your video I have an escape 2 by giant and plan on getting a redshift seat post and stem for my rig, I can't wait to hear more about your adventures with your bike
Thank you Daniel - I am headed out today to make a short video about the Future Shock stem and Redshift Shockstop Seatpost as a pair. I have also been looking into some new routes.
Been looking at the Redshock and have been tempted I have the 2021 Sirrus X2.0 and love the bike .. Upgrades so far, as I do a lot of gravel riding I have fitted the Schwalbe marathon tyres ( for peace of mind ) and they roll well ..Also the Ergon Gp3 Grips for comfort .. The Specialized bottle cage and Specialized Saddle bag and top tube bag ... Great item is the Vodafone GPS back light and alarm ... Wanted to fit the Redshift Stem unit ,but I don't think I can fit to this bike ?
I've got the 3.0 and also upgraded the pedals to Shimano dual flats\clip less, grips with bar ends, and narrower tires (from 42mm to 32mm)... now im looking into your seat recommendation
I can't recommend the seat post enough - new video entirely dedicated to suspension on this bike landing Friday - it should really answer any questions you may have. How was it changing the tires? Does it feel faster / handle any different? I am keen to know...
I just blasted 32 miles in 2hrs 4mins today! I’m still really in love with it. Set the seat post slightly higher and the ride is even better. I’ll look into the crank. What improvements have you found? I’m thinking of reducing the number of teeth to climb some of the steeper hills around here, maybe even a slightly bigger cassette...
Barry, I just picked up a Sirrus X 5.0 and love it. Thanks for the vids. After a few rides I know I want to add some bar ends. However, the Specialized Neutralizer Grips on my bike are a single piece of molded rubber. It looks like your bike might have the same grips.? Did you have to cut the grips in order to install the S Works Bar Ends? Just curious to see if I need to buy new grips too. Thanks again!
I didn't actually fit them as I got them added when the faulty free hub was changed. I have just watched back my first video before they were fitted and I believe I can say yes the ends have been precision cut and the bar end fitted, so it is flush. It's a tidy job. I am uncertain if the grips have been moved slightly inwards towards the stem, but everything fits tight without bunching. I hope that helps.
Drew Stevens I’m in complete agreement, it is purple tint, but you only see it in strong sunlight. I’m quite pleased about that, because I’m a sucker for black and gold graphics - it comes from the days of lusting after a Raleigh Record Sprint in the mid 80s!
I think “fitness bikes “ like the X & trek FX carbon. Make better gravel bikes than “ gravel “ bikes … I hate drop bar when it gets rugged - the X can take 47 cm tires. I sold my Stigmata for this exact bike $2k less and the X is a better bike - it just is . And I love Santa. Cruz
Hi barry question so i have one just got it and i did make some changes redshift seatpost. One up platform pedals and im considering changing out the tires because here in florida not many hills or real gravel roads have you ever considered changing into perhaps a roubaix 2 bliss tire or a slicker tire? Just wondering if its a good idea... thanks in advance
angel ortiz i’ve put a couple of thousand miles onto the tyres since I bought it, but they’re still not quiet at the stage of renewing them. I do find that I appreciate the tread of the Trigger tyres that came with the bike, as a lot of the surfaces I ride are a mix of tracks and cycle paths, as well as roads, so I think they suit me perfectly well. I’ll need a new set this year for sure and I would recommend them at £40 a tyre. If your riding is purely urban then yes I think you could get some slimmer / lighter tread tyres like Specialized Roubaix - saying that, considering the detritus on the roads these days, broken glass etc, and it could be a recipe for punctures... worth considering. My only puncture last year was a wooden stick I got from riding a road where trees had been cut down... Anyway some food for thought. Hope that helps.
I live in hilly Swansea - VERY hilly Swansea. Plenty of 10% plus gradients and some nearer 20%. Crazy amount of hills. How do you find your bike for getting up hills? I have been loathe to move to a single cog in front as the small granny ring of a triple has often been the only way I can get up hills. Does that big cog - 42 IIRC - on the rear make hill-climbing easy? Never got on myself with Specialized saddles and pedals. I find it shocking that these firms sell such poor saddles and peddles with new bikes. But that suspension posts looks amazing. Expensive but no doubt worth it.
Hi there JC - I don't think I have the same level of inclines as you do - yes there are steep hills here being the Devon countryside, but I have to say yes it does make any ascents I make relatively easy. I have reached some super steep but short hills and found myself standing up in 1st gear to make it! It's literally walking speed.... I think the ratio is 1 pedal turn to 1 revolution of the wheel in 1st gear. I do think it can deliver, but it wont be the same as a very small chainring that you may require if this is a constant issue. I have an old Orange mountain bike and first gear on the smallest chainring gives a higher gear. I think you need to try the Sirrus X 5.0 out when you can - I totally agree about the stock pedals, that was the first thing I changed as I could see immediately that they were totally inadequate.
NEW VIDEO in 4K - ruclips.net/video/KkPrIiIhivY/видео.html Does suspension on a hybrid bike work? A detailed look into riding the Redshift Shockstop Seatpost / Specialized Futureshock Stem
I am not sure but i really hope so. I really like the idea of adjustable tension. There’s always the Futureshock Shockstop Stem, but again I’ve no idea about whether you can fit that to a Sirrus X - I’ll ask...
@@zeadon I think it's actually possible - I took apart my sirrus w/ future shock and the entire system is inside a cartridge, and the old and new version cartridges look identical besides the top cap
I have the post set to maximum stiffness, as I am 15st / 95kg - the seat doesn't bounce when I am sat putting the power on to climb up hills. It only compacts when I ride over rough ground or hit a road grate etc. You need to work this out for your weight and ride, but its easy to do - it takes a little time to set the post up properly but it is so worth it. Others prefer to float, but I like it to remain stiff unless I impact / hit rough ground. It is a little heavier, you can just about feel it when you lift the bike up, but I wouldn't trade the extra weight for the smooth ride it gives me!
Hi! I have got Sirrus Expert Carbon, great bike, but.. i had to change the saddle, and i have to change the bar ends - i want to buy s-works. Can You tell me what grip and endcaps do you have? ps. Sirrus is really fantastic bike!
The grips are the originals that were on the bike, with the very ends sliced off to incorporate the SWorks bar ends. I and really pleased you are enjoying your Expert
Mine is a 2019 Sirrus X Carbon Comp (now discontinued) - it is equipped with the SRAM system, whereas the new Sirrus 5.0 (which is essentially the same bike with a few changes) has the Shimano system.
Hi thanks for replying I’m in Glasgow I’ve searched everywhere online but nothing in a medium in stock anywhere phoned a couple of local stores but nothing on that front either the 2020 6.0 and the Expert versions also seem to sold out online everywhere unless your are xxl
Thats a funny question, but I know what you mean. Yes, its agile, you can accelerate hard and fast, but its not got a top speed that a road bike would give. I have had it up to 40mph flat out down hill, but I can't pedal any faster haha...
Thanks barry your video helped me out alot i went with the redshift seatpost, i changed the crankset to a grx810 with a wolf tooth oval chainring 46T with one component pedals, i changed the stem to a shorter 70mm sworks, a bontrager aelous elite saddle i changed the tires to roubaix pro 2 bliss 700x30/32 and change the cassette to 11-28 gs 8000 ultegra quite a bit of difference in speed and take off overall i spent around 500 bucks because i know someone at the shop so for me it was well worth it and im very happy with the bike as it sits thanks for your help with the videos!
Wow that’s a hell of a lot of changes... I’ll look them all up. Glad the video I made was of use
I use the yellow lens for night rides. Works well against other light glare and lesser eye stress. Try it while walking at night.

Hello Berry, I enjoy your videos. I too am enjoying fitness bike riding in Texas. Keep the videos coming!
Love the DMR v12 Pedals , They make a world of difference Grinding on the Hills and On The Sends.

Thanks for the video. Love the advice. ❤ I’m awaiting my X 4.0.
Yellow lenses on the glasses take the glare out during the day if it’s a cloudy day, a lot of people who ride motorcycles wear them.
Right ok! I will have to give them a go when I do an overcast ride. Thank you for that

I’ll look into the crank. What improvements have you found? I’m thinking of reducing the number of teeth to climb some of the steeper hills around here, maybe even a slightly bigger cassette...
Great overview of what you've done. What brand is the cell phone case and mount? Thanks!
You might not want to clamp the carbon bike by the top tube, usually considered not a good idea, from my understanding.
Absolutely eye-watering on Redshift shockstop. I am looking for X4.0 size M and nowhere to be found. Any tip where I could look for this please?
It really is something else - see my suspension review - ruclips.net/video/KkPrIiIhivY/видео.html - I absolutely love it.
I wish this bike was still available! The 5.0 has a 2x chain ring.
IMO best bang for buck is 3.0x lighter A1 aluminum. 1x9 gearing plus 42mm tires. $850.
@@fraji1 Not really you can get the 2.0x for $600 & still get the same quality with lighter weight.
No, the X 5.0 is a 1x, single chainring. The Sirrus 6.0 is the 2x.
Yellow lenses are for low light conditions.
Lloyd Morgan - I’ll give them a try but not sure how it improves things?

do the bar-ends fit on the handles (body geometry) that came with the bike?
Yes - those are are standard bars that shipped with the bike and they fitted easily.
Where did you find your bar-end plugs did they come with the carbon fiber bar-ends or did you order separately?
No they’re an addition - they’re made by SWorks - about £45 from what I remember. A very worthy upgrade.
Rotate your tires once a year it will avoid flat spots.
