I also share some thoughts on two products I have been using for a few days in California - the Felt Breed Carbon gravel bike and Trek's new CarBack radar that goes head to head with the Garmin Varia.

Microshift groups looking good!
-
It’s not the first time”gravel” fork. The Lefty has been out for years and is a full fledged suspension fork with damper.
-
Love the paint job on that Scarab.
-
Not a lot of reviews on the MicroShift Sword group. Would love to see more on this if you are up to it Ben. Love the Pinion bike. I'll take a Lauf Fork over a $1200 airspring without damping.
-
Just ordered the Ltwoo ERG groupset for my cheap build
-
This event was nuts. Couldn’t find Hunt or Cane Creek and I feel like I saw everything. So many Nooks & Crannies. Great coverage Ben, as usual.
-
Great job finding some interesting stuff! Very integrated in that longer term fork review when you get it. Also cool to see Microshift in the update
-
Thank you for taking time to make this content. I appreciate it ❤
-
Ha! That is me speaking with the Sava guy as you're filming the Dream Maker bike. I felt you shooting the bike, but I never looked up to see who it was. I wish I did. I definitely would've said hi. Big fan of the Channel!
-
New Felt VRS just dropped. New Felt FRs also. That yellow breed looks amazing. Cant wait for your thoughts on it!!!
-
Man, that Scarab bike is breathtaking. Such a great paint job. I'm curious how that Cane Creek fork would compare to something like the Redshift suspension stem (as far as dampening goes). I personally have never found a need for dampening on my gravel bike, but maybe I just haven't found the chunkiest gravel in the Front Range yet? 😁
-
That saddle is INSANE! Try it sir! You seem to be a legit opinion on saddle since you pedal so much and got exp. Although I assume you have titanium grade resistance in the area by now
-
I can't see how that Infinity saddle could possibly be comfortable. Was it funded by the Preparation H parent company?
-
The Industry Nine Solix AR 40 wheels are sweet. 25mm internal and 35 external, 40mm deep.
-
Should have covered more of the Van Rysel Spot. Good trip by Portugal, do not eat too much here, or, you might never want to leave 🤣
-
Is it just me or did the tires on the Hunt wheels not even looks like they were seated properly?
-
Would love to hear your ride review of the felt breed carbon 😊
-
I want the new Hunts but me frame too small ☹
-
Holla back! a.k.a car back!
-
Since Lael Wilcox won dirty Kansa on a drop bar mtb, I’d say the “gravel” suspension fork is a regular suspension fork 🙄
