7 of My Best Bike Purchases That Changed My Cycling Forever!

Hey, can you review the kona paddy wagon?

The point #4 is super accurate. Using your front and back lights during the day is like a cheatcode to make riding more secure and enjoyable

the color of your bike looks really good! It reminds me of EVA 01.

What the... I have been working in Taichung for the last month and instantly recognized the map. Hope to see you cycling around

Breaking into the fixed gear scene and this channel has been a huge resource and god send. Thank you for working hard to make these vids mate!

You should try the MagicShine EVO 1700, it is really like night and day. Literally better than most motorbike and some car headlights

not directly bike related but the evolution of Zach's drip has been great

Great list!

Doing century rides in jean shorts and sandals always trips out my roadie friends. Couldn’t do it without my brooks!

I actually like to run my spur bells upside down with the lever pointing up and bell under the bars.

Also, yes!! If you ride a lot, tubeless is amazing!

To me TPU inner tubes was a game changer

Lights wise, I do absolutely love my dynamo hub lights. No worrying about charging, or one light dying on a ride or finding one dead just as I'm about to commute home in the dark evenings. The modern hub dynamos are so good now, you don't notice the few Watts it takes to power the lights. It's not the cheapest to purchase all the kit and you can't swap from bike to bike, but as a fit and forget option.........

Hey Zach,could you review the Revin fixed gear bike, it's manufactured in Taiwan and it's way more cheaper than purefix and fyxation,but eventhough it's a steel,the weight is under 10kg.

Bold bold bold bold bold bold bold bold bold bold bold bold!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Zach, I've been thinking of buying a fixed gear bike for a long time and I gained alot of knowledge about track bikes from your channel and I'm from Kerala,India and literally struggling to find a good fixed gear bike brand here, Since I'm a student and a beginner I'm on a tight budget(around 250-350$ max),could you please help me find a good fixed gear brand in india that sells bikes on a reasonable budget?

Zack, please do a video on fixed gear frame options.

Dig the helmet mirror. Im the guy that rides against traffic when in the street. Thats not to often in my commute.

i thought you were going to say that the bike lights have solar panels that arent huge

I have a micro usb to usb-c adapter I bought at Dollar Tree over a year ago. They don’t have it anymore!

Nice jacket! what brand is it?

Haha. Love the video and the ideas. But i couldnt shake the thought it was funny to talk so much about safety accessoires without having one brake on your bike.

Although its funny, i rode brakeless for a while and u understand the feeling. I juat had one close call too many.

I'd say the mirror is tops. I use one on my glasses and have a constant view of what's behind me.. which means when the roads empty, it's your playground... Your new haircut freaked me out fyi...

A fire truck horn would be more appropriate with all the earbuds in use on the trails. I would love that😎

Brooks Cambium babyyyyy

Awesome :)

Here in Japan, pedestrians have right of way on sidewalks and shared roads, and it is technically illegal to use a bell or other warning device for the purpose of asking them to move. I prefer it this way, and think it contributes to bicycle use being very popular here.

When we gonna get WIRELESS CHARGING ON LIGHTS

After being hospitalized in bikes accidents a few times and needing my phone to call for help, I'm completely paranoid of leaving my house without my phone. I barely take it out of my pocket but I like knowing it is there should some asshole decide to run me over once again.

Are those the Nitto Mod 55 drop bars? I noticed that beautiful Knight logo and I have 2 of those bars! 🤤

Idk if you whatch the NBA but whatching your haircuts change over the years reminds me so much if Jeremy Lin. He would have a new cut every other game 😭.

How does the Spur cycles bell sound in the rain? I've had a couple of bells that get muted when it get wet.

Love your new cut, Belo.

I have the same bell and the nice part is you can ring it from farther away giving them more time.

ooh! the spur bell looks neat and so does the helmet mirror--i'm putting these on my wish list today!

would you ever get a roadie? i also started with fixed gears in high school and now i mostly just ride the njs to take a stroll around town and mostly ride my roadie lol

one of the simplest things that made my rides more fun, and somewhat safer, is a bike bell, whatever a it is, i really recommend you buy one; it makes you more visible/audible to cars and it's really fun to make some noise hehe

Id say you dont have to leave your phone at home, just have self control.

Whats wrong with taking pictures during your ride?

pedestrians walking down the middle of a trail (or sidewalk) ignoring bells. sigh

Dude awesome stuff*** always refreshing- hey the first part of the video you left out that very cool coat ..... nice where do you find one thanks***George SLC UT PS I ride Ti on the dirt where I am your videos still come thru 👏👍

If your bottom hurts while riding, it's rarely ever a saddle problem. It is more likely tied to your positioning on the bike, i.e. stem length, handlebar shape, seat post insertion and setback, crank length, etc. Buying an expensive high-maintenance Brooks saddle won't ever solve your butt pain, and it could even make it worse.

No I'm a snob, I like yelling at ppl

No Fenders?

+1 dorky mirror gang

Tube tires ❤ with some tube sealant. We have a lot of "goat heads" in our city so there are no other options other than tubes with sealant/tubeless or puncture proof tires😅. Tubes set up in many cases is more reliable and constant 👍

How width are those tyres?

😎❤️🇹🇼‼️

You make it sound like you use a bell like the kind of motorist that turns up behind a cyclist and starts pumping the horn, part of me would just ignore the horn and just sit there as well.

Some people will react well to a bell, some people will think your being dick demanding they get out the way.

If I’m riding in place with pedestrians I give them right of way at all time. I find a cheery. Hello works way better than a bell.

Usb-c is great but it's very expensive. You only need cable for voltage/current and not data, so why pay for that?

Rides bike to “get away from screens”. Then puts a Wahoo screen ON his handlebars. 😂

I absolutely love my Brooks saddle. I bought my C17 in August of 2017 (thanks to you Zach) and I’ve been using it ever since. Honestly the first few months I thought I wasted my money cause it was super uncomfortable, but it turned out I just knew nothing about bike fitment as I was a complete noobie lol. It is truly maintenance free except for wiping the underside down from time to time. That model in particular is made of rubber and cotton, no leather at all incase that would interest you @antonmilius5197
