    Been using the Shimano RS550 pedals for six years and they are still working great.
  • @lostboy8814
    I concur that Shimano 105 12 speed groupset is superb,I have it on my new Specialized Tarmac Sl7 Sport road bike.The gear changing is very sweet.
  • @RobertJWaid
    Great recommendations. Please do one of these in November for Christmas gift ideas.
  • @andymci5981
    Great video David, packed with useful gen. More like this please.👍
  • @pawelodz8050
    Yes, these pedals are really tough. One of best Shimano money/value product. I only covered white paint of a side with black permanent marker and they looks like more expensive model 😁
  • @the_derpler
    I had electronic shifting and it was cool, but there is much to be said about a simple mechanical shifter that has no proprietary software.
  • @zimboy777
    just installed 105 12speed mech on a internal cable frame (through headset) and it worked really well - looks and shifts very smooth - half the price of electronic
  • @davidtydeman1434
    Thanks for the video. Can recommend Lake brand road bike shoes if you have a wide foot.
  • @guidopesch2976
    Got the TPUs from amazon and was amazed after my first minutes, thanks for reminding me an make my butyl retiring🙂
  • @sergiorivera2007
    TPU inner tubes are the way to go, buy them at Ali Express $5.00 and I have them on my ELITE Carbon Fiber wheels, so far over thousand miles on them and they roll beautiful and no issues 👍
  • @claymcclendon
    Vittoria Corsa N.ext is probably the most underrated tire. So fast and very versatile. Hard to have all attributes for the value
  • @SiopaoSauc3
    I'd never thought I'd type out this sentence. Those Sidis are a good looking pair of cycling shoes. Just a universe away from Sidis of late 2000s to mind 2010s
  • @davidbee8178
    The Cyclami TPU tubes are available from Ali Express for $5.00 apiece (I can't speak for the UK but that price is in CAD) they ARE good - allow two weeks for delivery from China. Thanks for the videos David ! They also have the same tubes available for Gravel in wider dimensions.
  • @leedorney
    Those sidi shoes are pretty radical design for them!
  • @Aus10c
    I switched from butyl to TPU. Its amazing
  • @josiahlomas2111
    David....were still waiting on the Giant TCR frame build!!
