So the 400+ doesn't have the alert flash technology where the light turns solid red then flashes when you apply brakes firmly then returns to the flashing pattern it was set on when you pedal again? There's also a 400+ with Ai... I am going to see iif it has the alert brake flashing technology. I currently have a 300 and a 150 both with the alert flashing technology but I wish they would give me a little more than 2.5 hrs in that mode. I usually cycle with two so that I can swap out when one of them loses charge since my rides are often three to four hours on my mountain bike. I also have a front "to be seen" Zecto which seems to last forever on a single charge.... same for the red Zecto I clip to my bike bag... the battery life is incredible!

Lovely looking bike James, there’s pros and cons with a 1x drivetrain. Your getting old now buddy 😂🚴🏻

I'm pretty sure your problem will have come back by now. You need to leave a bit of loose in the bearings, and the second bolt is to lock the other one so it doesn't tighten by itself while you are pedaling (and you need to tighten that one pretty good to prevent the other one from moving). You can check Park Tool video on how to service them. It can be quite finicky to set the preload correctly, loose enough so it roll freely but tight enough so it doesn't have play in the pedal axle.

Thanks James. Orange externals look deadly...way better than matching black ones. I found out about this issue prepping my bike for shipment to an event. Bought the tool. Be well.

Great in depth review whats the best mode for night riding ?🤔

Had this myself. First tool was cheap! Just kept slipping! Paid out for a quality one, worked first time. Good job I love tools 😜

Wheels looking good, James 👍

That alternative lock ring would have been my solution too. Can find them on Dura Ace rotors - I actually usually take them off and replace them with caps from Ultegra rotors so I can use the standard cassette tool 😃

I had a similar problem with my Hope 20five wheels until I found out the bit at the end of the axle is just a push on cap. Simply put some pliers on it and twist / pull and it will come off. When you’ve tightened up the lock ring just push the cap back on. This way you can also use a torque wrench to make sure you get to 40Nm.

Take the end cap off the axel, install the lock ring replace the bend cap , save yourself £25,

Very nice 👌

Yer was going to say u need lock ring you got now . 👍

Nice looking bike x

Nice bit of attention to detail there with the colour matching, it's the sort of thing that sets a bike apart from the rest and makes it yours. Good stuff James!

Just to add, I’ve speak Magene correctly but pronounce it in the video incorrectly. The pronunciation should be Mag-geeene. I do hope that clarifies things thanks you.

Attaching this to the seat post was not possible as I like the seat low. If the ON switch was at the bottom, it would have worked OK but positioned right way up the switch was not accessible. I have a Lekker Amsterdam. Had to attach it to one of the rear stays. Hopefully the rubber attachment strap is going to be durable.

Pirelli is the King of the TPU Hill but too expensive. I have wrecked several when fitting, until James made a video on how to do it properly. They do patch well. The cheaper ones (Chinese) are ok but don't last, I carry them to get me home and repair the Pirelli's. Now these look like the real deal. I wouldn't wish a puncture on anyone, so James, would you take one for the team, and 'repair' one and tell us how it goes?

good info - thank you!

Damn, ordered some new pirellis from Bike Inn a day before your vlog, would have got a couple of these.....never mind next order 👍🏻

Been running TPU tubes for over a year on my road bike, highly recommend. Great as spares too as they take up less space than butyl tubes. Hope Magene send you more goodies to try.

I have spent a packet on these types of inners from various sources. Its been a journey of experiences. They ain't puncture proof for sure and being more puncture resistant over alternatives is difficult to determine. Lighter is obviously the draw. I havent found a patch yet to fix that lasts. They have a slippery surface that makes adhesion compromised over time. They dont weld on like onto butyl. I keep pressures up as sensitive to pinch flats. When they go, they can deflate quick. Anything over £10 an inner is too much because of these issues in my opinion. They are just too expensive to keep replacing. But you dont wanna dick on safety for sure. I came across a version direct from the motherland and they were appalling made around the valve seating and blew badly on me. Those ones you show look well made by having a thick oval shape sealing as opposed to circular that dont sit as well in the rim in my opinion. The trip is still a learning one and mostly an expensive one👍🤟

Good to see more competition in the TPU world helping to reduce the price. Look forward to a further update on how you get on with these, James. Thanks for sharing 👍 PS I’d be looking for 32’s as well.

About time you got some freebies mate....just a quickie ....do they come with patches?

I just received mine yesterday. I had quite a lot of failure on the RideNow, so I'm trying this. My tire are 30c, so I will see how it goes. They cost double than the RideNow, hopefully they last twice as long. I got an other one, the brand is "Hub", they are a bit less expensive than the RideNow, they are wider than the Exar and similar thicker material. P.S. It's Magene, not Megane. Edit: For those wondering, it doesn't work with 30C tire, 28 is the limit. The part where the tube joint together doesn't stretch, so it create a "bump" in the tire, and the surface around that area stretch too much. Would not be safe to ride, I put it in the garbage. The "Hub" one seems fine, now installed the back tire.

Thanks mate. I'm already on 30 mm tires, I'll have to find TPUs that fit. That being said, I've run tubeless on my road bike for a few years. Still carry a tube for emergencies... the Exar look like a winner.

I love to try these, but knowing my luck, I'd have nothing but trouble with them...but you'll probably never see this comment, youtube are not showing my comments on a lot of channels 🤔🤔🤔

That extra patch is not for protection between rim and tube, but to stop the valve from rattling in the rim. after installation.

Yessss James, still transacting in the premium cycling industry in the sticks of Cornwall 👍 🚴‍♂️

I was thinking they'd sent you a pair of tubes for the Trek and one for your unicycle at the start of the video there! It seems you'd already been using one though so all is good 😎 Those tubes look good value for money, unlike the cheapo ones you tried that were like tissue paper. I pulled one of my bikes out of the shed earlier and found the little green blob of Slime on the front tyre that indicates I'd had a puncture, and the Slime inner tube had done its thing - no apparent loss of pressure either, so I'll be sticking with them! Here, I see you're back in that there up country place again - hills down here too much for you eh? 😲😛😄 Good stuff James! 👍

Hey James those tubes look very capable, and are better priced than similar ones. As you know I don’t recommend going tubeless on a road bike, so I might have a look at them when I need to replace my butyl ones. 🚴🏻

The magnetic is genius!

The singing mechanic is back! Could I request 'You to me are everything' in your next video?

Nice informative video mate.....the singing though!! 😂😂

I have p zero tire on my 2 bikes, I get 6 puncture This season . Is garbage . I used continental gp before only one puncture last year I switched to p zero because is almost impassible to put them on Road , very tight

I to use the rubber crepe. They used to use this to remove the glue from the tub tyres that you used to glue to the rim. Silca is quiet messy, I found Stans RACE was just as good on punctures, lasts longer and make less mess in the tyre. Glad to see you mastered setting up tubeless

3.months warranty is a joke.... 1.year at least is the norm... This pedals must be chinese copys or a bad serie from shimano.. Mine have been on bike from 2017...and stil spins good,anyway i put on flats from trek professional serie.. On my roadbike.. I saved 60.gram..and now i can find the optimal place for my feet... At least i think so😁.. We must be open to new ideas.. Try and error.. For example before the elite cyclists use 23mm.tires..whit high pressure... Now they use 30-33mm.tires whit low pressure...... Nice song james.. 👌👌.. You have a good voice for singing... Whis you good luck whit your pedals 🙏🧙‍♂️🕺👍

Your talents are never ending have you thought of going on The Voice. 😉

Well said James 👍

I am a big Shimano fan, but I think there pedals are rubbish and personally find I’ve had less trouble since switching to look pedals. Also as an Irish man, who comes from a town where making a poor cup of tea would get you put out of the family, you’re tea is spot on 😆

The man is a genius! Love your style James! Keep them coming.

For the next show maybe consider drawing your thumb between the rear sprocket and chain while giving it a clean. Looking at about 6 months to heal for that one🤟

I had my fingers crossed for the retailer with their 3 month warranty 😃

You have sacrificed blood so it should work now😎

Tea colour - 9/10. A smidgeon too much milk, but a good effort 👍 Singing - 4/10. 🧐 Erm... well... 🤔 Let's move on shall we... Blood and gore content - 4/10. A light spillage of blood, no gaping wounds, air ambulance not required. Cycling related information - 10/10. A clear demonstration of how easy pulling apart those pedals for a bit of maintenance is. 👍 Three month warranty though? I always think the length of the warranty tells you how much confidence a manufacturer has in their product. Three months... twelve weeks? Hmmm... not very good is it! Good stuff James!

Thank you for you video. It helped me to remove, clean and assemble back. Now my nike is ready to go!!!!

Never taken old sealant out for years. Just topped up. Only time I empty is if i swap tyres and even then, i reuse the old stuff. Never had an issue. Tubeless is easy with the correct approach and a compressor.

Thanx, fixin my specialized 2014 with fsa. Great guide! 👍

I run full carbon Zipp SL720’ aero’s perfect and no issues. 23 Emonda SL6 eTap.

Belated birthday wishes, James 🎂👍

Happy birthday James wishing you all the best 🎉🎂🥂🍾🍾🎈
