I have a TCX Advanced with 3 sets of wheels: the stock 700s with 33c cross tires, another set with 28c slicks, and a 650B set with 2.25" mtb tires. Best 3 bikes I've ever owned!
@@henryp7187 I'm running stock SRAM 1x Apex, with the stock 11-42 cassettes on the cross and 650B wheels, and 11-28 on the road wheels (EDIT: Corrected the range on the road cassette)
Loved my tcx until i broke the alu frame. That beast could mount 700x45 tires on a cx frameset, was really fantastic, a mix between a modern gravel with beefy tires and a responsive cx geometry, looooved it!!
Gravel bikes with big fat tyres look amazing.
Loved the craic at the "YARD!" Nice to see a reuse of frame & components Francis 👍. 2.5 month trip, Wow! The big reveal awaits us all ! Wooooo ! 🤭👌👍
You're so lucky having the expertise of Backyard Bikes on your doorstep. Great video once again and the bike looks wicked!!
Can’t wait for the new adventure👍😀Best regards Martin
Currently riding a Fairlight Strael with Victoria Barzo 27.5 x 2.25 tyres. Great fun!
two and a half months?? my goodness, can’t wait to know more 👀
nice, i went for Hutchinson toro cx 47 in the end, for the time being works well over the Southdown's and muddy patches. I did have some fun fitting my 650b mtb wheels with Maxxis DHF 2.3 on my Canyon Grizl though was totally overkill and sounded like a tractor :)
Excited to see the new trip
"I don't think anybody as ever complain that a mech shift is too slow" THANK YOU Di2 is nonsense, solving a problem that did not exist.
That bike is sick looks amazing
Good looking bike! Have a safe trip ahead!
That bike is sweet. Nice build. Let us know if you use with the fitted tires and if good with the mud
It looks the business! looking forward to how it rides.
That's a stunner, gutted when it fell over at the end 👍🏻
I have Scott SubCross Tour with Force 26" MTB aluminium fork. Right now it has f 29x2.15 Vittoria Mezcal and r 29x2.10 Terreno XC. It has Avid bb7 brakes and 180/160 rotors. It has Richey flared 440 dorpbar with Sora/9spd XT with Microshift 11-42 cassette. 1x setup with Raval Bike Fibonacci sequence oval 40t chainring. External dropper post operated by sora 2x shifter. Weight is close to your bike if it had a 5l water bottle attached to it, but it's able to take beating and I race it agianst XC bikes.
Good look on that big ride Francis.
Ah Nic's extreme gravel club. Bike looks alright with those chunkys, mtb Hardtail usually ran fat front tyre 2.3 and 2.1 or 2.0 on the back so should be fine with the Addict. Happy packing, interested to see what your up to.👍
"unnecessary but cool" is my definition for AWESOMENESS !
¡Hermosa puesta a punto!. 👍👏
Exciting times ahead!
Awesome build, envy on the other side of the Atlantic.
Sick bike build!
Looks like an angry beast, I love it!
Good luck with the trip
Nice bike!
Need to try some 650b wheels on my gravel bike.
Luckily it's a current Fairlight Secan so anything up to 650 X 2.4 is fair game! 😉
Love it!
Lol Jimmy can just look at the camera and crack me up:D
Looking forward to the next trip bigtime.
Hi francis. I've got a similar setup for filth. Check out the continental cross king 2.0 tubeless tyre for the rear 👍
As Bikefit James's would say... badass!
I have those tyres on my Whyte hard tail. I ride them and have fun.
Get ready for destroyed paint work;
Added bonus of chunks missing out of down tube.
I would recommend some protection for the frame … but I suspect it’s probably too late
Awwww I wanted that frame😂😂
When Nick states nobody complains about shift speed. I actually do constantly regarding my eTap front mech, it's very slow with inconsistent shift quality compared to my Di2 bikes.
Put some frame protector tape where the tyre passes to keep the frame safe.
Hey, shimano does make a different version of GRX Di2, called 817, that’s the 1X grx derailleur
I feel you need to take a visit to see Captain 👀 I miss that guy!
I want to be fit enough to say a 1/1 gear ratio will get me up anything! On my next gravel bike I'm probably going to get GRX 400 to get a 30/36 lowest gear! 😅 #regularhuman
@Jobsworth Jobber my bike came with GRX400, and yes, I agree it's Tiagra and clunky (compared to my mechanical 105 on my road bike) . However, it works. I put precisely that 10 speed SLX 11-36 on both sets of wheels, and it works just fine, the 2x GRX 400 rear mech will take it no problem
@Jobsworth Jobber that's the point. There are no 11 speed Shimano 11/36 cassettes. They think we're all pumping out pro watts. My current gravel bike is 9 speed Sora. The only problem with it is no hydraulic brakes. The number of gears doesn't bother me as long as I get the range of gears I need.
Why to buy shimano casettes? Theres plenty aftermarket offers
THE CLIFF HANGERSSSSSSSSSSS!
Two and a half months, wow.
He really loves SRAM
Was about to buy some 29er tyres and fling them on the 700c roadbike and see if it works, seems everybody has the same idea because you cant buy tyres on ebay for reasonable prices right now
They won't fit, the frames are too narrow
on that note, what do you think about putting dropbars on a hardtail mtb/xc-bike/etc. My commuting is 90% forest roads/gravel and I think it would help with comfort and give more options in terms of hand positions. I would like to keep the suspension to safe my wrists and shoulders.
looking forward to your upcomming adventure ✌🏻
I think Dylan Johnson did something like this for a gravel race recently, worth looking at his socials for the details!
The Bodge of the Century was done by Dan at GCN about five years ago when he mounted a third lever to the bars of his road bike for a dropper post. And he even called it the Bodge of the Century. But maybe it's a cycling thing in England, everyone coming up with the Bodge of the Century. 😀
We put bigger tyres on my bike and it barely fits. Barely. On rare occasions it sees mud, I do need to clean it off straight away. I have a mountain bike for real off road, that other bike is more for light unpaved roads, slightly icy, around town conditions in bad weather
Oh cool a monster
I assume the main difference between London and Northern gravel rides is you should be on a road bike in London and you should be on a MTB in the North :)
Can you buy the addict gravel tuned as a frame-only?
I’d put flat bars on it, maybe those kitchen sink bars
that setup looks like its primed for Scottish gravel 🤩lovely!
Please test if possible a new new ADHX TIME gravel bike...
I don't get why you did not put the mullet SRAM setup from the other bike on this one and the double GRX on the one you will be using for 3k miles... Would make more sense imo
Have you ever tried Oakley photochromic lens? Would you recommend or not?
Hi i have a 2015 scott foil 10 road bike, i want to replace my seatpost for a 0 offset, i just want to know what brand of seatpost to replace it, it has a d shape seatpost? Thanks
Questions.
How tall is a 650 +50 mm compared to a 700 + 45 or 47mm
in height and gaps in the frame
... is there any close measurament/ equivalent?
Hi Francis
What is your conclusion after the first ride?
2 and a half months man you have the life lol
It's Ultegra RX and not GX. Did you mention anything about how wide the tyres are?
And also, what part of the built would actually void the warranty!? Can't be because of the 650bs, can it?
Do you gain any tire clearance with 650b in the back? I have the same frame and felt like the chainstays are almost parallel so smaller diameter would not extend the clearance. I run 700x45c pirelli cinturato gravel S which measure 46mm . Not much room to spare. Got the same frame in size M. You might wanna give the pirellis a go
from what I can tell, a little bit. but they are definitely shaped to accommodate a 700c tyre!
Haha the bike flopped when you said that it looks fun, guess it's not as fun
“You may wondering why nick doesn’t ride a hard tail” ….shots fired
Really 650b rim are fitting with 27,5 mtb tires ?
Don't forget you valve extensions #Vietnam 🇻🇳
Wise man.
I saw the thumbnail and thought "boy that white bar tape really got dirty fast"
Old school Ultegra clutch derailleur was Ultegra Rx (btw)
That’s the one! Rx not gx!
2 1/2 Months before you can ride it!??? It's going to be stale and you'll have to build a new one....Jimmi is a boss
why are the wheels so deep, you wont have any aero advantage with these massive tires? :P
2,5 months? damn gl. hopefully you find back home and don't end up in a taliban prison or something
Sounds like a hard tail makes more sense where they ride, but as you say; ride what you have. Bike looks very nice but I agree that a smaller tyre on the rear will be necessary.
3000 miles makes me think across the USA?
🤤🤤🤤
Those big tires on that kids bike frame make it look mean! Those size tires on my bike look like actual gravel tires. Lol
Hellooo
Sort of hilarious that you're running a 2x setup with a small cassette for this type of riding. The other one would benefit more from 2x and vice versa.
For this trip it’s worth it to be matching with my ride partner - plus the 1x has more range unless I changed the cassette on this bike
@@Cade_Media Makes sense. Re-reading my comment it comes off as aloof and snarky.. sorry about that. I just thought it was funny - i'm a big fan of experimenting and mixing and matching setups myself, so i both get it and enjoy your builds everytime. I'm really excited for your content over these next few months - wonderful timing for those of us stuck in a cold, wet and dark north. Thank you for making what you do!
Yo francis,did not ave u down as a lightwieght!!1st bike i ave liked on show,some kit missing,decent width bars,no dropper,will ave to wait to how light u really are when u show the way u ride with nick,welcome to the club lol
If you think its unnessecary, I'll Take it
I💖🚴
THat bike looks so sexy beast!
USA USA USA ;-)
I would give you my mechanical opinion of the Scott Addict Gravel, but I work at a shop that sells them.
That's bad a$$
No need for a hardtail when the Cascade from the Sheffield brand Cotic exists. A proper drop-bar monster.
"Building a monster gravel bike" shows like 10 seconds total of building time.
Can we film Nick fitting a Di2 groupset to an Time ADHX that’s on its way in and that won’t actually see any gravel….. 😂😂
Nick is a 90's mountain biker.
Bike looks deadly. Can't wait to see "THE BIG REVEAL." This tease is getting ridiculous 🤡
It always fascinates me that a lot of the vlogs related to gravel bikes appear to focus on attempts to make them a far less compromised cross country bike.
I guess some people just want to ride drop bars. Some shops don’t have space/resources to stock all the different mtb stuff too
Bro I think you have too many frames time to give one away to your subs!!!
was these the parts from the Vietnam bike?
That wheel's not 650b, Jimmi's just really tall
Key words - MOUNTAIN BIKE tires. Those are not for gravel bikes - what you guys are playing with are merely drop-bar MTB's. Nothing wrong with that, but don't mistake it for gravel.
Fat bike!
42cm is wide?
I’ve 46cm Ritchey Beacons on mine.
Francis,your „Carbon“ - footprint is one of the worst i’ve ever seen!
How much more bikes do you need or is it kinda addiction ?!
First?
Bike yes.
Bar tape/wrap no 🤮
this is stupid just use an xc bike
I have no interest in bikes, you are just a very entertaining handsome man.
A friend of mine has just cycled around the whole island of Taiwan - there's literally a cycle route that circles the whole country. I'd love to do it one day, but would also watch you, Lawrence, James, Chris have a pop at it.

You contacted me about winning your contest- Then no further info. Can you contact me?
That was not me that was a scammer
