Decathlon RC 120 (RC 100) first impression- A decent road bike for amazingly little money
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 окт 2024
- I wanted to buy a dedicated bike for my home trainer- hoping that I will use it more often when I do not have the hassle of mounting and dismounting the bike all the time.
So I bought this very affordable Triban RC 120 from the sports discounter Decathlon for 450 EUR. I don't think I will regret the buy.
I have written about my impression about the bike also on my blog at nerdymamil.com
There is a glitch in the video at 2:30- hope it is not too distracting :) Probably a bug in the "SlideShow" software I was using to make this video.
"I was biking in an urban area, where survival is more important than speed." As a cyclist living in Berlin I appreciated that statement. 🤣
I guess it is the same in all cities and bigger towns in Germany.
"Auto-freundlich"- and unfriendly to everything and everybody else :D
That made me laugh too.
@@thenerdymamil8557 so you wouldn't recommend the gears in the front part of the handlebar? I am looking for a good road bike that can be used safely in the city!
@@LauraLopez-vj4zr Yes, I would not recommend a road bike with gear shifters in the front of the handlebars like the RC100.
Having the hands always very close to the brakes is safer, especially in the city. Shifter levers combined with the brake levers was a great invention.
Great video man!
This is why i love RUclips. You've got dozens of channels talking about super expensive bikes no one can buy, and then one guy talking about a cheap affordable bike with 100k views! Really great, thank you for making this video. I'm thinking about buying a road bike soon, i'm leaning towards the RC 500 :)
Thanks.
Yes, buying expensive stuff does not make sense at all for most of us- even though we are made to believe so :D
Actually, I also enjoy watching people talk about affordable, value-for-money kind of stuff, and that's exactly why I started to make such videos, too.
@@thenerdymamil8557 This is the stuff people want to know about! :D I don't need anyone to tell me that a 3000€ groupset is good, i can figure that out by myself hahaha I like GCN for example but everything they make is with pros and racing in mind, and let's be honest most people aren't racing, we just want to have a fun ride and enjoy it :)
Very nice, honest, and thorough review! It is awesome that you even did a very sophisticated comparison with the much higher class Rose one.
Thanks.
I was very curious myself how such a cheap bike compares to my Rose bike.
I was surprised.
Though of course I prefer to ride the Rose bike. The Di2 shifting and the hydraulic disk brakes are really a big advantage.
But for bad weather or if the bike can get stolen or lost I use the (now pimped) Decathlon bike a lot. E.g. I did the Festive 500 challenge with it last winter.
Thank you for the thorough review - I just ordered the bike this morning and am really looking forward to it coming in! Bonus points for you coincidentally living near by Oma's village of Mehrstetten ;).
Have fun with your new bike!
And maybe we meet when you have a chance to ride your bike around Oma's village :D
Thank you for the review. I've been looking at getting my first road bike; I've always had MTBs before. I've managed to find a used RC120(good condition apart from some frame and shifter scratches) for about 290EUR and might close the deal at 270EUR if the guy agrees. I reckon it's a steal at that price since it goes for 370EUR new from Decathalon.
PS: Where I am, the RC100 and RC120 are different bikes, although they look about the same(I'm fairly sure the frame is the same but the RC120 has a carbon fork for some weight reduction). The weight of the RC100 is 11.3kg in size M while the RC120 is 10.3kg in size M. Also, the RC100 has 1x7 speed gearing with the shifter near the middle of the handlebar while the RC120 has a 2x8 speed drivetrain with shifters on the brake levers. The pricing for the RC100 new is 240EUR compared to the 370EUR for the RC120.
Seems like a great bike for communing around town and light hills as well.
Even for steeper hills it is ok 😀
The lowest gear is 34:34. The weight is not too bad- especially if the rider is not as skinny as a pro.
It's essentially the B'Twin Triban 500 with a new slick of paint. I used to own one and although it impressed me with its ride, I sold it away as I find the microshift shifters irritating and the stem a little too short.
Currently I ride the B'Twin Ultra 700 AF as my main bike.
The geometry of the S size bike is really ok for me :-) The stem could probably be changed easily, though.
Shifting seems to be also ok for me, not too different from the Shimano shifting I am used to, just braking is not- but on the indoor trainer I do not need to brake.
Great review. Skipped the usual RUclips bloat and spoke to the strengths and weaknesses with good insight and analysis.
Sehr gut auf Details eingegangen
Schöne Vorstellungen des bikes ohne eingenommen von high end zu sein
Danke, freut mich, dass Dir mein Video gefallen hat.
Bzgl. eingenommen von high end: bei Klamotten ist es ja noch extremer als bei den Bikes. Marken-Klamotten kosten 10x so viel wie die Sachen bei Aldi und Lidl, sind aber nicht unbedingt 10x besser.
Aber wenn ich es mir leisten könnte, würde ich natürlich auch gern mit Marken-Klamotten auf einem 10k EUR Bike 'rumfahren :)
Stimmt leider
Eine sehr hilfreiche Rezension, danke!
Cheers for the review.
at 5:02 : lever ergonomics usually can be tweaked by a screw inside the lever that brings the brake/sifter lever closer or further depending on your hand size.
I will look for the screw.
No sure if the Microshift levers have that.

@@suhansandiro Thanks!
Thanks for the insights. Picked up mine in Portugal for €390 today. Just waiting for shoes/cleats and Shimano PD-M324 pedals. Slightly disappointed I didn't go for the disc version (found out afterwards) but got some new brake blocks and don't have to worry about the rain here! Also dug out my old Edge 800 and got it mounted. Looking forward to going for a ride.
Have fun with your new bike!
I guess the reduced the price for the rim brake version because most people prefer the disk brake- but then again, with the reduced price this is an extremely good deal.
I use the bike with an indoor trainer, where I do not need good brakes. In Portugal you probably can ride outdoors every day :D
very well done review. i needed that before buying the bike but unfortunitly its out of stock in Germany, im still waiting for it.
thank you very much!
Thanks for the review. I am looking for a first road bike. I hear I may swear a lot and break tubes fingers changing the tubes is the only downside.
Vielen Dank für dein Video es war sehr aufschlussreich. *Daumen nach oben*
Danke :-)
Gutes Review, werde mir heute wahrscheinlich dieses Fahrrad im Store
BItte nächstes mal auf deutsch :D
Easy ride 42klm? I nearly have a heart attack cycling to the shop.
Good review, thank you.
I have a giant defy advanced 2 2020 but need a run around, might get this.
I am glad you like my review :)
I am sure you will also be able to enjoy longer rides, maybe after some training- if you have a pleasant route around.
Bought it, thank you so much, really very useful
I think is a great bike for that price, amazing
This bike was really easy to assemble ruclips.net/user/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
Owning this bike for half year and every time i sit on it and start
cycling its just amazing, comfort, easy to drive, fast, shifting is
good, super good for heavy hills...but I just dont know why its not
possbile to have on front derailleur in low gear and on rear derailleur
also i low gear because then chain starts to make noises because its
hitting on first Cog wheel, they all say this is normal, for me its not,
otherwise super bike for 450€ for me best buy so far!
Amazing review, thanks!
Good to see comparison between triban and rose. Even good is speed are almost same between 2 bikes even though the price difference
Yes, I was surprised
Bought one today... Will test next week.
Congrats!
I am sure you will like it- just hope your hands are larger than my hands so you get a better grip on the brake lever. Or just enjoy the speed and don't brake ;)
Which bike is better Rc100 or Rc120 ?
Amazing review!
Awesome review, thanks
Nice review & I liked your way of presentation
Very informative - thank you!
Thanks; I am glad you like the video :)
I’m enjoying the bike so far ruclips.net/user/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.
Just got my Triban RC 120 today. Together with the BTWIN Speed 1 35x700 hybrid tyres that I ordered. No problems fitting them. As you said, more than enough room for 35mm tyres. Take note that Decathlon advises 32 mm as a maximum for these rims. We'll see how it goes. Will go for test rides the forecoming days.
How did the test ride go? I was thinking of fitting 28x1.40 700x35C Schwalbe Marathon to my RC120 Rim version (smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004T0GCYU/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_RnZMDbWJWZKAG). New to tyre sizing so not sure if this fits, is this like yours? Thanks!
@@BattleDadPrime Those will probably fit on the rims. The frame is no problem; plenty of room. I have had no problems with the 35x700 btwin tyres so far (after about 150km). They run on a maximum of 5 bar. So I think you'll be allright with those 35mm Schwalbe tyres. Probably those are even better than the Btwin. Don't forget the corresponding tubes. Good luck! Happy riding!
@@1000brink thanks dude, appreciate it. You too!
I did not know that Decathlon advises 32mm as max for the rims. Thanks for the hint.
@@Meinkampfmusicgroup yes 35 x 700 fits nicely. As said, it is not advised by Decathlon buy i ve been riding them for half a year or so ; no problems.
nice video.
mature person. very sensible
Thank you very much for the review! Did you do the test ride with built-in pedals or used the one from your Rose bike? :)
Believe it or not- I was using the buit-in flat pedals! They look cheap, and they probably are cheap- but not bad at all (I don't know about long-term use, though).
The difference between flat pedals and clipless might not be as big as most people think. There is a good video from GCN about this, where they did some tests and did not see a real difference.
Reiding in se örben erea :-)
Wonderful review Sir. Easy to understand. Thanks! A quick query - am looking for an endurance bike. I am 180cm tall and from the charts I could see L is best suited. But, wanted to know your views on the REACH. Is the posture more endurance friendly and upright? Or should I go for a M. Appreciate your review again. Thanks!
Following. In the same boat
You are great teacher 👏👏👏😃
Great video, thanks
my brother's brought this model with disc brakes - after 200km - I think it suits amateurs / beginners perfectly (especially if you consider the price).
Informative video! Greetings from Budapest
Thanks!
I am sure your brother will have a lot of fun with this bike- and I hope you will get into road cycling, too!
Last month my MTB was stolen and I was wondering why don't I try road biking now since I have already got hang of MTB. Should I go for this or similar priced Used Road bike.
Since I love MTB still I an interested in gravel bikes too.
Keine Sorge, Ihr Englisch wird mit der Zeit besser. Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass Sie von Anfang an Deutscher waren.
Vielen Danke für ihre Tolle Video.
Sorry about your stolen MTB.
I also thought about getting a used road bike for the indoor trainer- but at the price of this Decathlon bike there seemed to be no better used bike available (at least not at the small size I need). Plus, the new bike comes with a warranty- and a used bike might have worn out components.
The tires this bike came with are just really not suited for gravel riding. However, there is clearance for much bigger gravel tires.
Ja, ich bin Deutsch :) The problem is not so much the English language- it is just a big challenge for me to talk to a camera. I guess I just need much more practice to become a professional presenter :D But it is fun to make short videos- and if some people find them helpful, that's great.
interesting review
Great video sir. Thank you
Glad you liked it
Thanks brother 😃
You fail to mention a huge disadvantage of Triban rc120's design - there is no derailleur hanger - the derailleur is fixed directly to the frame which could lead to its permenant damage
cheers sir for the review.
Schräm haha
Nice video anyways altho the English is a bit germanish but not a big problem really
I am glad that you can understand my germanish English and that you like my video :D
@@thenerdymamil8557 your English is perfect. Best from Berlin.
@@yoda101 Probably not quite perfect- but people seem to understand me :)
Thanks for the video and the review! I just bought mine. I haven't got it yet but I am a bit worried if I have picked the right size. I am 173 and I got size S.
I am glad you like my video.
According to the information on the Decathon Website, with 173cm you seem to be between S and M. Maybe S is ok for you. If not, maybe you can change the bike. I would recommend to go to a bike fitter- or watch some youtube videos on how to adjust a bike. A good fit really makes a big difference.
I am 165cm, which puts me between XS and S. I have chosen size S and I could adjust the bike according to the data I got from a bike fitter. I had to adjust the saddle height almost to the max- so for me XS would have been to small.
Hope you have lots of fun with the bike!
Soroush Rasouli Did you take it in S? How does the S frame feel with your size? I guess the bottleneck might be the 250mm seat post?
@@gabrielmoser8836 I did. It's fine though I haven't tried M so can't tell for sure which one would be better. I have raised the seat post to the very max height. Kind of made it aero! I didn't like other specs of the bike like the group set is a very cheap one and sometimes gear shifting isn't that easy. I'm just wondering why no one in any review has said anything about that.
Soroush Rasouli Excellent, glad to hear that. I read some reviews regarding the bad adjusted gearshift. It’s probably just a slight adjustment necessary. Maybe the decathlon staff can help you with your issue.
@@soroushrasouli1102 You may probably have to do gear indexing.
it would be great if you show more riding videos........ but the knowledge you give is also fine............
Thanks for this review, Im really thinking into buying this bike, specially that now is on offer in Spain for 389'99€.
Do you think it's a good buy?
I am glad you like my review.
I think for less than 400 EUR this bike is a very good buy! I thought even for the 450 EUR I paid it was a very good value for the money.
Just make sure the brake levers are ok for you, and that you get a frame size that fits to you.
@@thenerdymamil8557 Thanks sir. It would be gret to get another review after some month of use, to know your feelings and impressions about the bike after the usage and experience.
@@LuzestudioEs Yes, I will give an update- but I am planning to use the bike with an indoor trainer, so the experience will be different from somebody who uses the bike outdoors.
@@thenerdymamil8557 I see. I got mine finally.
I have to agree with your impressions about the brakes, they are not very reachable for me either. And also the gear shifting was not adjusted and I had to came back to the store to get it working propertly.
@@LuzestudioEs You will probably get used to the brake lever when you ride the bike regularly. Also with training you will be able to ride on the drops more often (especially on descents)- and in this position the brake levers are ok.
I am sure you will have lots of fun with your new bike!
do you need 2 click to downshift front derailleur .. or is something wrong with mine?!
Thank you for the review. I am, like you interested in this bike as a winter / light gravel bike. The current offer makes it very tempting. Do you know if 35mm or 33mm tyres fit on this frame, with the brakes perhaps being in the way and all. I know the disc brake version can accommodate 35mm.
There is plenty of clearance for thicker tires, also for the rim brake version. However, I do not know if both mudguards and thicker tires will fit. I would spend the 50 EUR more and get the disk brake version- also because disks brakes are safer in rainy and snowy conditions.
@@thenerdymamil8557 the rim brake version is on sale, so these days it should be more than 50 euros @ decathlon germany.
@@wdadwawdadawdwdwa4133 Yes I noticed. If I had waited, I could have saved a lot of money :-)
I guess the disk brake version is more attractive for most- just because the weight and aerodynamic disadvantage of a disk brake does not matter in this case (because the bike is not optimized for weight and aerodynamics- but for cost and comfort).
Hi there, thanks for the very informative video. Do you think the rc500 is worth it. Here in the UK the rc120 is £350 and the rc500 is £500. Do you recommend the upgrade?
Thanks for the encouraging feedback.
However, I have not tried the RC500 so I do not know it it is really much better. It has Shimano Sora levers, maybe they are more convenient than the Microshift levers.
@@thenerdymamil8557 Ok, thanks for the reply
@@matttfletcher I ended up just sticking with my current bike. I'm not very much of a consumerist, rather keep the money in the bank! 😂
Hi, i just wanna ask.. Is shimano claris is better than this microshift R8?
Cool video, I have rebuilt a triban 100, your English sounds like German dialect, I needed something to realize that you are English-speaking, where do you come from my friend?

Very nice and useful review! Question: "TRIBAN" white logos on the down tube are painted or they are just stickers and it's possibile to remove them? Thank you!
I think it's painted. Would be very difficult to remove.
I am glad you like my review.
Hey man, great review, If possible could you answer a question for me? I am an absolute beginner, and am looking to buy a cycle. I am wondering between this bike, RC 120 and the RC 520. The RC 520 is out of budget honestly, but I can buy it if I save for a few months. So should I save up and buy the RC 520, or would this cycle be enough for me?
I would say get the RC120 now and start riding it.
After a year or two if you think you need a better bike- just sell the RC120 and get the bike you think you would like better.ö
Great video!
I recently got a hybrid bike and did 40 miles on it and was exaughted.
It is a canondale quick 4 , would this road bike be better for a long ride like that? Or am I fine to keep using the hybrid
Thanks 😎
Yes, 40 miles on a bike can be exhausting- but if you ride often, it gets less and less exhausting (or you might want to ride longer and longer).
A drop bar bike would probably a little faster, because your upper body would be lower and you would be more aerodynamic.
However, just for training you are probably fine with your hybrid bike. I was riding only hybrid bikes for a very long time- I got my first road bike with a dropped handle bar at age 50.
Yo thanks for the review
I am now interested in buying the road bike
Is it possible you record a few clips of yourself riding the bike
I want to see how it looks like riding the road bike and how it feels
Thanks 😊
Good Idea :)
You want to see how exactly this bike looks like when it is ridden?
Otherwise, there are plenty of videos out there of guys riding road bikes, like on the GCN channel.
Basically, this bike is not really different from other (usually much more expensive) road bikes.
The Nerdy MAMIL sure I would love to see some footage of the triban rc120 in action !!!
Btw once I get my own triban rc120 I’ll do my own review of the bike😃
Decent is the magic word!
As I said in the video: I prefer riding my 3500 EUR Rose Endurance bike with the Ultegra Di2- but the Decathlon bike is really not much worse, considering it costs 1/7!
@@thenerdymamil8557 The thing that doesn't work in Decathlon Italy is assistance, they don't know their catalog and every time I have to tell them that the wheels are only two, I exaggerated a bit.
Thank you! Finally some good review (indians everywhere....) I also order this bike, still waiting...and i just wanna know about gear ratio specially because of high hills from 10%
...?
I lam glad you like my review
Seems the bike is popular in India- but I don't think the videos of the Indian guys are all bad
Lowest gear is 1:1:
"CRANKSET / CASSETTE
Microshift 11 x 34 cassette
(11/13/15/18/21/24/28/34)
Shimano Tourney double chainring 50/34"
@@thenerdymamil8557 yes but he meant if the gear ratio is comfortable on steep climbs... Because it's 2 gears infront ryt
@@thebikepacker6982 yes, it is a 3x8 drivetrain
With a very easy lowest gear 34:34; which is low for a road bike- but of course mountain bikes usually have even lower gears e.g. 34:42
Thanks for the review!
I'm thinking about buying my first road bike (I was riding fixed gear before) for training and occasional traveling and I am wondering if it was worth adding another 300€ to get something like Specialized Allez or Trek Domane Al 2 instead of this RC 120. Price/performance is my priority here, so I'm looking for the best value for the buck. Will it be noticeably better or this bike is already good enough?
Congrats to deciding your first road bike :)
I would say if you are sure you will enjoy riding the road bike, you will do it a lot and maybe you want to participate in competition- consider spending a little more.
If you just want to start, to learn and maybe you are not sure how much you will ride- get the RC120.
@@thenerdymamil8557 thank you!
Do you think this is a good bike model as a first bike?
Sure!
Unless you want to ride a lot in the mountains; then I would look for more ergonomic brake levers.
How long does it take to transform your body from fat to fit?
Three months and very happy using it 2-5 times per week.
What you, sir?
Regards!
I have it now on my indoor trainer and it works well.
Unfortunately, I do not use it as often as I probably should ;)
Please do a comparison between btwin rc100 and montra unplugged
I don't have a Month Unplugged, it seems it is sold only in India.
However, from what I see this bike has Shimano Turney shifting, with levers probably at the top of the handle bar.
The RC 120 has STI- like shifters like a state-of-the-art road bike. For me this kind of shifting was a must.
Sehr ausführliches Video 👍
Wäre das günstigere Modell das RC 100 gut oder besser gesagt ausreichend für jemanden der sich an das "Rennrad" fahren rantasten möchte?
Von der Sitzposition her ist das RC100 sicher auch ein "Rennrad". Aber RC100 hat eben keine "Rennrad-Gangschaltung", sondern den Schalthebel am Oberlenker. Für mich war das ein KO-Kriterium.
Schaue mal in der Kanal von "Der Bastler" oder "Bastler DIY". Der hat sich ein RC100 gekauft- das dann aber total umgebaut.
@@thenerdymamil8557 okay vielen Dank für die Antwort :) mir ging es eher darum um sich an Lenker und Sitzposition zu gewöhnen und um mit kürzeren Routen anzufangen um zu wissen ob der Sport etwas für mich ist
@@Riccy786 Um festzustellen, ob mir das Rennrad-Fahren Spaß macht, hatte ich mir mal im Urlaub ein ordentliches Rennrad ausgeliehen, das dort auch optimal für mich eingestellt wurde.
Hi I just ordered the bike in size XS and I’m same height as you, I was wondering if you are able to stand over the bike top tube comfortably with your feet on the ground in your size S thanks!
Yes, size S is perfect for me.
However, I have relatively long legs and a relatively short torso. So it might be different for other guys with the same height.

Your kind and timely response will be surely appreciated.
Decathlon does offer a “Gravel” version of this bike with mechanical disk brakes.
I wish I had bought this
@@thenerdymamil8557 thanks! Your response is greatly helpful!
I´ve had Rc120 Grvl version and I didnt like the bike. I didnt care if it was "cheap" for the quality, I just dont think that worth the investmente when for just a little more money you can get much higher and better assembled bike on a more reputable brand. The bottom bracket is very low quality, the cubes also and the brakes are very poor. The assembly of the bike is horrible, I´ve had to disassembly almost everything and mount almost every piece again... the cubes were so tight from factory that the wheels almost didn´t spin... All the other bolts torques were so loose that for a normal consumer would probably have an acident because of how loose they were. I do not recommend this bike and brand.
The only positive points of this bike is the frame and the microshift, which are good, but the rest is garbage.
ich bin absoluter Rennradanfänger und warte gerade darauf, dass die Fahrräder bei Decathlon wieder verfügbar werden. Mein Budget würde auch das RC500 oder RC520 zulassen, nur weiß ich nicht, ob ich mit dem RC120 nicht auch schon glücklich genug wäre für den Anfang. Zu welchem Rad würdest du eher raten?
Kommt jetzt wahrscheinlich darauf an, was am ehesten lieferbar ist... Jetzt ist gerade eine ungünstige Zeit für Fahrrad-Käufer.
IMHO:
Wenn Du Geld sparen willst, würdest Du wahrscheinlich mit dem RC120 glücklich werden. Wenn Du in den Bergen wohnst, wäre vielleicht die Disk Version besser als die Version mit Felgenbremse.
RC500 scheint nicht viel besser zu sein als das RC120. Wenn Du etwas mehr Geld ausgeben willst, dann wohl eher für das RC520.
Oder Du schaust mal, was es bei Rose oder Canyon in der Preisklasse gibt bzw. was lieferbar ist.
@@thenerdymamil8557 danke für die Tipps! der nächstgelegene Decathlon von mir hat noch ein RC120 Disc in meiner Rahmengröße, dass wird's dann wohl auch werden.
@@derpaulii Den Kauf wirst Du wohl nicht bereuen.
Wenn Du “upgraden” willst, kannst Du das Rad sicher gut verkaufen- bei guter Pflege.
Außerdem wird sich der Markt hoffentlich bald beruhigen und Du kannst herausfinden, was Dir am meisten Spaß macht- Rennen, Graveln, Touren, Triathlon...

Should I get a Triban RC120 or the Triban RC100? Is the $200 difference in my country justifiable? It is my 1st road bike and I have a limited budget
Yes, I think the difference is justifiable.
However, I am sure you can have a lot of fun with the RC100, too.
Is this bicycle suitable for 90kg rider?
Probably.
Looks sturdy to me.
What is the weight of this bike?
Vielen Dank für Ihres Viedeo.
Aber ich habe eine Frage wie denken Sie,welches Fahrrad ist besser entweder RC 120 oder Trek domane al 2?
Ja ich weiß die Preise sind ein bisschen anders aber denken Sie Trek domane al 2 ist wertvoller als RC 120?
Weil RC 120 Preis sich von 379,99 Euro auf 449,99 Euro erhöht hat und das andere Fahrrad ist 649 Euro.
MfG
Der Unterschied beim Fahren wird nicht sehr groß sein.
Aber so ein Trek Bike hat wahrscheinlich ein viel besseres Image.
Hey, Have you tried changing/fixing the tires on it? I heard that it is very difficult to do that, What is tour take on that?
I have changed the whole wheelset. I made a video about it; have a look.
Hallo,
würdest du das Bike empfehlen für jemanden der nur zur Arbeit fährt bei Wind und Wetter (ca.5km ein Weg) also ist es robust für die Stadt?
Du sagst das Tretlager ist das billigste von Shimano, falls was kaputt gehen würde, könnte man es ja wechseln z.b. ein besseres oder lohnt es sich nicht an dem Bike?
Ja, klar- wenn Du mit den Brems-Griffen klar kommst.
Tretlager ist billig- aber sicher robust. Vielleicht nur nicht besonders leicht.
After viewing your review I wanted to purchase the Triban rc 120 but it’s hard to find it. Most are out of stock. Do u have any idea where can I purchase it?
Sorry about that.
I also don't know where these bikes are still sold.
But anyway the shortage might be due to the Corona crisis. I am sure Decathlon will have these bikes again- or a worthy successor.
Danke für die Review. Am Akzent könnte man noch arbeiten 😂
Ach, merkt man, dass Englisch nicht meine Muttersprache ist? 🤣
you bought the rc100 the rc120 has disc brakes
Not true, Decathlon brand both versions as the RC 120
danke schön
Hi Nerdy, how have you found this on a turbo trainer? I was thinking of getting one to use for Zwift.
Hi
Bluetonic, I have set it up on my Wahoo Kickr Core and it works great.
My weight is 115 kg
I ride mountain bike 30km 5days a week.
Can this bike carry my kind of weight
Road bikes are usually for 110 kg or under but If i hear how much U train i know you are probably 110 now 🤣
I'm gathering some money for a new bike i'm hesitating between the rc 100 and rc 120 would help me ?
RC120 is really a much better bike, it has real road-bike shifter-levers.
Hi How often do spokes get broken and reasons for spoke damages??
Hi, honestly I did not have had many problems with broken spokes- but I am a lightweight guy.
Reasons might be lack of spoke tension, bad spoke quality, age/wearout and just heavy load.
In this case, broken spokes should be replaced fast- because if not, the next ones will brake and in the end this will cause an ugly accident.
Nicht schlecht 👍🏿😀
Falls das noch jemand liest, da das RC120 ja mittlerweile nur noch 379€ kostet, ist ein Upgrade nur aufgrund der Bremsen auf 499€ das Geld wert? Oder lieber das günstige und dann ggf. aufrüsten?
Ja, ich lese das noch :)
Wenn Du keine langen Berg-Abfahrten machen willst und relativ große Hände hast, wirst Du mit diesem Bike wahrscheinlich zufrieden sein.
Später aufrüsten mir Disk Brakes geht nicht. Aber die Schalthebel müssten sich ersetzen lassen durch Shimano Claris STI Hebel.
What size is that .. and what’s the top tube height?
It is size S.
Top tube length is 55cm.
Can u pls tell me which is better the microshift or shimano?
The comparable Shimano groupset (Claris) is probably better than the Microshift R8 in terms of lever ergonomics.
Resell-value might be better, too- everybody knows Shimano, few people know Microshift (I certainly did not before I bought this bike).
Hi, does the L size fit a 180cm tall and 100kg heavy rider for really long rides? (4+hours a day)
I guess L would be ok for a 180cm rider and the bike should be sturdy enough to carry 100kg.
However, to ride 4+ hours a day the saddle would have to be very convenient, and that would be hit or miss. So I guess if the original saddle is not convenient, one would have to go to a good bike shop, ask for advice and try some saddles.
For me the saddle on the Decathlon bike is surprisingly convenient- but bicycle saddle fit is very individual.
@@thenerdymamil8557 thank you! I'll definitely use your advice
Würden Sie das Rad für längere Distanzen Empfehlen?
Ja klar- man sollte aber vorher ausprobieren, ob man die Bremshebel gut bedienen kann. Oder man fährt auf einer Strecke, bei der man nicht viel bremsen muss. Vielleicht auch- wie von anderen empfohlen, andere Reifen aufziehen. Sonst auf jeden Fall Ersatz-Schlauch mitnehmen.
I got a trekking crappy bike for 500e and i wanna hit my head in the wall. Why i haven't seen this earlier?
what's wrong with that bike?
Hey .. Is this a good bike for city rides ?
I actually use it for city rides now during the summer.
However, for winter riding it would probably be good to mount mudguards- the mounting points in the frame are there- and lights.
It would also be advisable to replace the original tires by something more robust.
@@thenerdymamil8557 - Thank You ✌🏽
Was meinst du mit chain braucht loop?
Lube = lubricant = Schmiermittel :)
It's a B'twin
Shame you cannot buy these anymore due to the worldwide bike shortage.
Sorry about that.
Hope Decathlon will be able to sell these bikes again, soon.
Or a worthy successor.
What size is it ?
I bought size S.
Какая максимальная по ширине покрышка влезет?
Я точно не знаю. Наверное 40мм, может быть больше.
@@thenerdymamil8557 спасибо!
Servus, Reutlingen? Schreib ich doch ma glatt auf Deutsch. frage an dich. ich suche ein günstiges erstes Rennrad. decathöon hat dieses Modell aktuell im Angebot......kaufen, oder Finger weg???
Danke ma vorab , für dein Feedback
Ja, Reutlingen :)
Ich habe auch gesehen, dass das Rad jetzt bei Decathlon für weniger als 400 EUR zu haben ist. Jetzt mit anderen Reifen- die vielleicht besser sind als die Hutchinson, die bei mir dran sind.
Bei dem Preis kann man eigentlich nichts falsch machen. Unangenehm waren für mich die Bremsgriffe- aber daran kann man sich vielleicht gewöhnen.
Wenn Du Dir später ein höherwertiges Rad kaufen willst, kannst Du das vielleicht sogar noch ohne große Verluste verkaufen. Auf jeden Fall ist es sinnvoll, erst mal mit einem billigen Rad Erfahrungen zu sammeln, um zu lernen, was man mit dem Rennrad so machen will und was für ein Rad man dazu braucht.
@@thenerdymamil8557 danke dir, da werd ich mir meine Gedanken machen
40 kilometers and you say improve your fitness? Dude
