Hi- great video. I notice you got the XL. Can I ask what your height/weight is roughly? I'm feeling like the deboer suits are very small fitting and their size charts seem off to me. Was that your experience and did you have to size up multiple sizes?
@@stevenyhe hi there and thank you for your kind words. I think they do come up small. I'm 5'10" (178cm) tall and weigh 83kg. I have relatively short legs, long torso. I sent Deboer my measurements and they suggested the size and that if necessary I carefully cut the legs (I haven't 😀). If you go on their website they list the relevant measurements and you can send them over, they will then tell you which size should fit. Good luck, I had a massive PB in IM Hamburg this year in mine.
I have just bought this suit. The chamois nice but location is very strange. It comes up and around to the pubic bone - an area that I cant imagine anyone would need saddle protection from. As a result it doesn't go as far back as I would hope and barely covers the sit bones when in climbing position. I'm really hoping it's a me issue and I can adjust it
@@chatlow hi there. It's designed for wear in the aero position. I think/hope you'll find that when you get on the TT bars it will feel different.
These tubes are good, I’m also riding with them on my rims. Love from China.
Glad you like them!
What kind of bike box can hold this bike?
Ku Cycle say the Evoc Road bike Pro.
You are quite the ambassador. Good job!! The whole concept of readyness i dont quite understand. I have added a 70.3 and a full distance for next year (june / august). I have input to invest 12 hours per week. Training now for 2 weeks. My performance in general is not bad. My bike ftp is 225 watts (at 69kg), my running 44min for 10k, my swim 1:55/100m. Im doing sports regularly for many years (im 44). Yet humango shows the projected readyness at 87% and my goal readyness at 69. i find that confusing and hard to believe. Also the events are far out. Does humango tell me, that with a year training at 12 hours per week i can still only reach a readyness of 87% or 69 (whats even the difference between these values)? I like to follow the plam but i dont get what humango is projecting and why.
I am in complete agreement with you over the projected readyness and current goal readyness. What's particularly frustrating is that you can follow the plan and see your projected readyness go down, especially with a rest day that's part of the plan. Two weeks out from IM Hamburg everything was 100+%. By the time I was half way through my taper I was 88%. Overall, I rate Humango but there are areas where there is still work to be done. Ultimately it provides me with a core structure which I can play around with. Your current level by the way is very good. You will have no problem with your 70.3 and Full - it'll be about your target times 😅. Good luck.
@@RealLifeReviews im glad we agree on that. i was quite irritated. i cant say im too happy about it, since its 29.- a month (hefty) but i think i will keep it. it gives me some good structure and a sense of obligation to be compliant to it. without such a plan i most often train way too hard. i go running at a hard pace, do too many threshold runs or my cycling trip is all over the zones. so the plan teaches me to go easy and even if its just 2 weeks, i learned to appreciate going much much easier but regularly. its quite different to what i am used to and i think my vitals are quite positively influenced by that. also it gives me some level of elite-feeling as im doing quite often more than 1 training per day ;-) lets me feel like a pro, haha. thanks for saying my stats are quite well. that gives me a nice confidence boost :-) have a good day!!
well, if you remove all the o rings, the cap and the other retention nut, you would get it closer to the Tubolito weight of 23-26g which clearely doesnt come with all these unnecessary parts!
Hi. Would you have a recommendation for the following "problem": i can do long training sessions on the weekend, but only every other weekend. hardly ever two in a row. i can set the default availability only weekly. if the long sessions are planned on a weekend where i have limited time, how would you deal with the workouts?
@@99cya I know it's not a bi-weekly planning solution but if I want to do something similar I go to my calendar and delete a session then add in another from the library. I suspect the reason it's not built in (at the moment?) is that long term programmes will have periodisation built in and also often work in blocks (i.e. 3 weeks building followed by a recovery week) progressing through different phases (base/build/peak/taper.....).
i am in my free trial period for humango and i have looked at other training plans etc. i might be totally wrong, but for someone who just likes doing sports and wants to finish such an event in an average time, these plans and recommendations appear overly complicated to me.
@@99cya Hi there. First off let me confirm that I have nothing to do with Humango, I'm not an employee or ambassador and I pay full price for my package 😀. Having said that I think there are two aspects of complexity that are particularly relevant to you. The first is the plan itself. In this case it is a matter of setting the activities (number of, length of and which days) and your goal to suit you. This in itself is quite straight forward. You can then alter this as you work through your plan should you wish. The second is the data. Quite 'simply', the data is there - you can simply ignore it 😀. However, as you train I think you are likely to want to see how certain elements are improving, even if that just starts with resting heart rate for example. As you progress you can 'entertain' more data elements. For me almost, if not the, biggest bonus of Humango is that it gives you a very cost effective structure to follow. I hope this helps.
@@RealLifeReviews thanks for your time answering. i found something that bothers me. is there any way to export the running workouts to my apple watch or garmin? i cannot see myself running around with a printed sheet of paper or re-building the workout manually into the watch each time. that wouldnt be much fun over many months .... how do you complete the running workouts?
Hi. If you link your garmin watch to Humango it automatically pushes your run and swim workouts across 👍
@@RealLifeReviews thanks. I will try that!
How are the valves? I got a set on alixpress and the valve would leak
So far I've not had a problem with them.
@RealLifeReviews Can you take them off and put them under water 💧? I did and there was a small leak. Try it with one of the older ones
How about the giro Aries spherical
Excellent description and demonstration. I ended up buying one and it is a fantastic pump. I bought the full size model with the guage .Easy to use and charge .
Thank you for your kind words - it's much appreciated.
a small addition: there is also a presta valve core removal tool (on chain tool, next to M7)
Indeed - thank you.
Can you run a 9 speed cassette with this?
I believe you can with the correct spacer (1.85 mm I think).
@@RealLifeReviews thanks 😊
Great work! I saw a dozen or so reviews of this shoe, yours is really professional, it's obvious that you prepared well. Another advantage is the reference to triathlon, which is rare in other reviews. If you added a comparison and a video of the run, the review would be complete, I'm waiting for the next one
Thank you for your kind words - it's much appreciated.
My son is getting me one for father day on Sunday 😎😎😎
Cool 😂
With people trying to sell you helmets, I often feel like I would be better of without their help. I don't know why, but it seems that they simply sit there, just like the helmets. Helmets are a sensitive thing though, it has to do with taste...I guess, first if they are safe, than the taste comes in...MET helmets look better in a way. I like them.
Lol I use the Met Crossover, with all the stuff on it. I have to be honest that I have it with me, but I don't always put it on. I mean...when I need to have one on I do, like on the tracks and such. And in some occasions it makes you simply feel safer. So in heavy traffic. More and more I start learning to wear the thing. And I liked the METs versions since well...colors and style, and they seem sane enough. With a light in the back. I liked them. And they feel and fit ok.
I checked with Fumpa and they source their parts worldwide, however, they are assembled in Australia.
Brilliantly informative video.. thanks!!
Not a problem - thank you for your kind words.
Thanks for the great video. Is it the 25 or 42L version?
Hi and thank you for the comment - it's the larger one 😀
Nice video. Have you compared them to the Restore TC? Any issues with getting the heal when putting the Recovery Shoe 2 on?
I'm afraid I haven't had chance to compare with the Restore. As for the heel, it's designed to collapse so that you can wear it either way.
@RealLifeReviews The collapsed heel is a good idea but I read one review saying the heel part was hard to get on. The Clifton 9 and the restore tc have heel tabs. Wondering how the heel went on for you? I ordered a pair regardless. Thanks
4❤
Thank you 😀
Thanks for the review! So are they suitable for a really hot summer (above 25°C)?
I personally get really hot feet so when the weather is really hot I tend to wear the sliders (or sometimes these with socks on).
I bought two of these and one of them leaked through the valve stem. Tried re gluing the valve, unfortunately the valve stem became brittle and fell to pieces, so I binned it. I have ordered another two TPU tubes which have alloy valve stems which weigh 36 grams but hopefully will be more robust regarding the valve stem. Plastic stem type to be avoided in my opinion. I’ve also bought some latex tubes which transforms your ride re comfort.
How do you make a brand-new bike look like a brand-old bike in one ride? Get a rear-wheel puncture running tubeless and have the sealant spew over everything....
🤣🤣
Not many English reviews out there for the Gloryfy Unbreakable sports sunglasses. Thank you! I just bought my first pair today and I love them!
Thank you - I'm glad you like them.
Heyy what is with the non carbon version?? The all white is not my loock … any drawback
Just a little heavier and a little bit less stiff. Arguably better value for money 😂.
@@RealLifeReviews on my half and full iron man’s snappiness is not the most important thing The Energie in to the system will be the same
Truth be known that's the same for most people 😀
@@RealLifeReviews but my …cutie bad carbon addiction….. I don’t know …
😂😂
Heyy what is with the non carbon version?? The all white is not my loock … any drawback
I appreciate buying non Chinese products but paying double for an infiror product (with the competition you get a built-in pressure gauge and rubb extension) doesn't make any sense. By the way, were is the fumpa engine made?
This has a built in pressure gauge
Hi there - as with pretty much all the competition this does have a built in guage, it is only the smaller pumps that don't and with these you are balancing size and weight. The pumps are made in Australia but whether they buy in the motors or not I don't know.
As has been said - this does have a built in pressure gauge 😀
As the valves are now metal are we happy to use CO2 at the side of the road with these?
CO2 should be fine. Just remember it'll 'seep' out quicker than air like it will with ordinary butyl tubes as the molecules are smaller.
My Trenta 3k carbon looks good. Unfortunately the padding deteriorated fairly quickly and came apart. I contacted MET and they said that was normal. Haha! I have helmets 20 years old where the padding is still good. I will not buy any MET helmets in the future and can not recommend them. Btw their customer service sucks!
😅I have switched to these new tubes from a bigger brand if you like, yellow tubes. I like the treaded valves, the others don't have that. Can carry more spare tubes, much better. I have had no issues at the moment. But I am not silly if you can put air it it, air can come out. But still happy will the Ridenow tubes.
Thank you for your comment - it's much appreciated.
how do i upload it to my wahoo BOLT V2?
Hi there, I've not done it (I don't have a Wahoo) but on the export tab where you would download a Zwift file there is also an option to export to Wahoo.
Great review. I decided to buy this multi-tool because of your review. Very happy with my purchase and fits nicely into my saddle bag. Thanks!
I'm pleased you like it and thank you for taking the time to comment, it's much appreciated.
OMG I never knew that sticker is for "inside" the rim for protection. Awesome!
Thank you for your comment - it's much appreciated and I'm pleased that you got something useful from the video.
🤭 looking at my wheel right now with that sticker on outside (older plastic valve model), still stops the rattling but yeah I see why putting it on inside helps with metal bits if any. You learn something new every day 🤣.
TPU puts the "P.U." in inner tubs. They Stink.
Can you put slime or flat out in it
You can and some people do but I don't. You have to remove the valve core and inject it.
Thanks for the great review. Do you have a comparison to the Topeak Alien 2 or 3?
Hi there - I do have an Alien 2 review. The Alien 2 is a bigger tool and has some spanners on it. More suited to bike packing and bigger days on the trails.
Thanks for the info, I'm researching what the better buoyancy shorts to wear under my wetsuit and I came to this one from the review that you did on the Varman. My question is would the Varman be a bit too much under a wetsuit, swimming 12 months in Scotland. I note that you say you definitely know that you are wearing one, but not once you are in the water ! TIA
Once again, the tools are too short to be of any real use in tight places. A practical test on a bike, adjusting various components would be a far more useful review.
The trade off between weight, size and usability is always an issue with multi tools.
NO PHILIPS SCREWDRIVER! I'M OUT OF HERE!
I'm in agreement with the lack of a Philips.
Learning a ton from your vids… if you had to pick one tool only- for short weekend bike packing and daily rides - stored in a top tube bag, which one would you pick ? The alien or the PT30? Sorry for such a noob question, I wanna pick one and have that pretty be my mainstay
Thank you for your kind comments and not a noob question. For weekend bike packing I personally would use the Alien. The extra weight and size wouldn't worry me (whilst bike packing isn't a race I tend to look for any training positives that I can 😀) and the useability (larger tools, not having to remove the chaintool, having spanners) in poor conditions can save a lot of frustration. The caveat I would add though is that I would be carrying a separate Dynaplug tubeless repair kit. Do enjoy your bike packing and drop a comment somewhere to let me know how your first trip goes.
between this 20Pro, the PT30, the Alien 2, which one would you recommend?
A good question and as you might expect the answer depends on your preferred type of riding. For bike packing and long days on the trail (MTB) it would be the Alien 2 - chunky and easy to use in poor conditions. Racing on my Tri bike it's the 20Pro (partly because I use the Dynaplug Racer Pro plugs and don't therefore need any of the 'tubeless specific' elements). Bike park/enduro days on the MTB it would be the 20Pro if I was carrying Dynaplug or the PT30 if i was using ordinary plugs. I hope this helps.
for tubeless tyre repairs - do you think the tool with a serrated age is necessary? (that tool with a textured file that creates some a rougher surface for the rubber insert to latch on to?) I have a mini pro 20 - curious if that's good enough for bikepacking. thanks!
I'd say it's not strictly necessary - especially if you have good plugs.
I'm about to fit some Cyclami 38g ones I got off Ali Express... I'll carry a pair of butyls in the spares until I see what happens!
Good luck and I hope you enyoy.
Hi, are these updated versions compatible with rim brake bikes?
Hi. Yes they are but RideNow recommend taking care on long twisty descents and checking to make sure that the rims aren't too hot.
They have 19gr 24gr and 36gr. You have options.
You’re correct but I’m particularly looking at the benefits of the removable valve core 😀
So far after 6 months my ridenow is doing great
I glad to hear that. Many thanks for taking the time to comment, it’s much appreciated.
You said that the reason TPU has a low rolling resistance is because of its light weight. If that's true, why does latex have the lowest rolling resistance but it is heavier than TPU?
True but I believe the latex test results have something to do with how the latex interacts with the tyre. If you’re after purely weight benefits then latex tubes can’t be made as thin because the material isn’t as strong. It also is less consistent with regards to it’s air retention.
@@RealLifeReviews That was the point I was trying make. The reason the rolling resistance of latex is the lowest, isn't because it's the lowest weight. I has to do with the friction within the tire. The statement about TPU being low in rolling resistance because it is light isn't really true. That's all I was trying to point out.
@@chrisyoung8062 the weight is just one contribution as is the interaction with the tyre 😀
@@chrisyoung8062 it's one factor, it's not the only factor but it the weight definitely has an effect. If you look at the BRR or AeroCoach data that does seem a pretty clear trend. For example, from AC, with Conti butyl tubes, they go: Race28 (104g) 34.3w - Race28 Light (78g) 32.7w - Supersonic (55g) 30.3w. So with the same tube type from the same brand it seems pretty clear there's a relationship between lighter weight and lower RR. Less material = increased flexibility I guess. Then different materials can be better or worse as well, and yes latex does seem better than TPU, with the very fastest tubes still being latex. But in the AC data the best TPU tube (Revoloop Ultra Race) is faster than their worst latex. From the data that is there I wouldn't be surprised if a theoretical 100g TPU tube would actually be slower than a regular 100g butyl tube, i.e. I suspect most of the reason TPU is faster is because there's less material there, not because it's inherently faster. In the AC data, Conti Supersonic butyl (55g) is faster than Tubolito Road (40g).
For me Shimano shoes are not nearly wide enough, for wide feet Lake shoes are the bomb.
I agree with you 😀
