Burn-E Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Question: what's the best bike GoPro handlebar mount? For street riding primarily? Lots of mixed reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgerBob Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Having no experience personally, I'm going to recommend K-edge. Stellar reputation for rock solid mounts (and the price matches that). Otherwise, I like Barfly mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Charlestown Chiefs fan.. if I need a working class feel good sports movie, Slapshot wins every time. Maybe if the Hanson Brothers were in Breaking Away.. Now there's an idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 A, talk to Travis . He does lots of riding with GoPro. Breaking away is a great movie period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably should've taken some time off after the crash, but wanted to get ready for Rouge Roubaix. Oh well. And remember, even if I log big miles, you typically climb more in one ride than I do in one week. If we had hills, my mileage would be way smaller (or I'd be way stronger). exactly the point. you are doing WAY more revolutions. if i ride the rails to trails for long distance, i can feel it in my knee. The changing of pressure, angle etc. seems to help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I only used the handlebar mount once, didn't like the angle, I use the chest mount for bike videos now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good friend of mine bought one of the first 11ants Mantis', it's a bike that has been displayed at a few bike shows in Europe, hence the 29" and 27,5"+ wheels. Took it to a trail for it's first ride out in the cold last Saturday. The rear shock needs some adjustment and the different sized wheels aren't ideal, but it was good fun. The Rohloff hub in combination with the Gates Beltdrive is awesome, it works flawless, no matter how muddy it gets. Very stable and the amount of grip is astonishing. A great experience. Would love to try it on my home trail with equal sized wheels one day. Oh...the price..; 10000 usd...

Emiel Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Little voice in the back of my head...' don't wreck it, don't wreck it...' I do think it's worth it, high end parts, craftsmanship, etc. But yes, a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I wonder what the power loss of belt vs chain is. Friction also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 $10K, man that's about 3 times more than I would ever spend on a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait and buy it for $500 when the new "standard" wheels are 30.263" you know, because they're better..and no one will want a 27.5/29 mix so they'll dump it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friction also annnnnd found the road biker. Cool seat post setup. But really, worth $10k? I have such a hard time with that, but I've never ridden a 'money doesn't matter' bike. So maybe I don't know what I'm missing. I wanted to call it a top-end bike, but that just feels wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgerBob Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 So, I've obviously never dropped $10k on a bike. But I ride a Look 695SR with full Campy Super Record and carbon wheels, which was $10k+ new. It's noticeable. That being said, working at a shop, I rode a lot of road bikes. I can tell the difference between a $500 mtn bike and an S-Works mtn bike, but I don't think I could tell the difference between two high end ones. Unless you're immersed in a particular environment, those super expensive bikes won't seem much nicer than normally expensive one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
