From my experience, it’s quicker to frame the shot via the viewfinder than the LCD. Especially when out in bright (summer) conditions. I’ve tried both though and I still prefer the viewfinder.

Don’t underestimate this part though. Whenever you put your eye to the viewfinder, your perception changes. Even if you only look at the live view, it’ll affect your stability on the bike. I actually find it easier to use my phone than an actual camera for the rolling shots.

Its not cheap per se no. Guess it only makes sense if you see a use beyond the bike rides itself.

True, he tends to do that all the time 🤓

As of late, I’ve been bringing along my X100V on rides @hippy. The camera is weatherproof and if I reckon the weathers going to be foul I put it in a Peak Design pouch which ought to be weatherproof as well. Together with the strap and stabilizer it works a charm. It’s a fixed 23mm 2.0 which is great for the landscapes I normally tend to capture when out on the road. Outside the cycling use itself, it’s an amazing camera imo.

Photobombed

Got some more snaps early this morning. As the forecast for the coming days is snow and rain, figured I'd make the most of the early rays.

@Chak, as requested ;)

Cheers mate! Rest assured, more photos will follow including the side shot. Frame is a lot more sloping than the Baum but first impression is very positive. Happy it’s finally here and ready, was the perfect Christmas gift really.

As the Shamals aren’t super wide internally compared to other gravel wheels I opted for the 42. Once mounted they look more like a 38/40 to me.

I’ve read good reviews about the tires and I’m not sure why people would replace them from an OTP bike tbh. If however I don’t like them, Rene Herse would be an option to consider.

Enough

Excellent average speed! Well, at least you tried right? And enjoyed cake for that matter!

I wouldn't even bother to get changed for 15km haha.

Once lockdown is lifted again I'll make sure to take some decent snaps. For now, this is the end result.

Im afraid I’m housebound due to lockdown regulations. So I managed 94km on the turbo so far with approx 1600 elevation. Such a shame as today was a fantastic day and the same is forecasted for tomorrow. 100% chance of snow on Monday though!

I know this guy personally, absolute legend in what he does. And a super nice guy!

🤣

Merry Christmas chaps!

Still beats not riding at all...

I'm after an I7 unfortunately, cheers for thinking along though!

Shamal carbon DB arrived, quick test fit for the looks.

:')

Mayhem I tell you!

Thanks!

@Belagerent, yeah don't think I could have made it more obvious. Maybe in caps for the next project... ;) haha

Cheers.

Trust me, I'd like to.
