FGF 701 The Hydrate Or Die Edition
Apr 19, 2024
Hey there gang! How are you all doing? We trust you’re are acceptably radical and primed for another supremely stoke-filled weekend. That’s stoke. Not Stoke. There is a difference.
We usually waffle on a bit in this intro but it appears to have stopped raining. So we’re off out riding. Goodbye! Enjoy this week’s Fresh Goods Friday…

Right, I think we should take the tape off
0:30
Hello, welcome to Singletrack Fresh Goods Friday 701. 701
0:48
I'm Amanda, this is Benji. Benji Howarth. Esquire. And you can start
0:54
What did you bring to Show & Tell? This, I didn't bring it, it arrived in a box from Cannondale UK
1:02
This, you can win this, this actual thing. It's very heavy. Medium Cannondale Habit Carbon LT. What? What
1:10
Worth four grand and a bit, innit? £4,700. Yeah, basically £5,000. A little bit knocked off
1:19
A dropper comes with it. Yeah, there's a little box of all sorts
1:24
It has literally just turned up. An actual habit themed thing. What do you call these things? Mudguards
1:33
The artwork on this mudguard is great. There's little chickens, there's a guy drinking a bowl of beer
1:41
And this is, I wonder what this was for a while. Goes into those bolts there
1:47
It's one of them proper modern bikes with accessory bolts on it. Nice
1:51
Voila, is that what you call them? Voila. Voila straps or something. Two different sizes
1:55
I don't know how you say it. Two different tasks. And some reflectors
1:59
Right, great. What about it? How do you win that? What do you do
2:04
You need to go on singletrackworld.com and find the raffle and enter it
2:10
502 Club. Yes, so it's a 502 Club raffle. Keep bumping it to the top
2:14
If you can't find it, type it in the search box. I've bumped it, it's at the top
2:19
This is the first of many raffles. You've got until Wednesday, the 24th of April at 8pm to enter
2:30
So loads of time left. Four or five days left. Good, good bike
2:36
We reviewed it, might put a link in. Will do if I remember
2:40
Do you know what I like? The tones of it match the theme of the 502 Club
2:46
Oh yeah. You're welcome. Mega times. What else do we have? I've got loads of things, all hydration related
2:56
Should we start with the Ortlieb? So, bike bags. I know exactly which ones they are
3:03
They're all called bike bag. Bike bag, and then we've got a handlebar pack, a seat pack, fuel pack and backpack
3:12
What's a fuel pack? Fuel pack, I like fuel packs. You put them on your top tube
3:18
Like a triathlon thing. So these have all come in for a feature, a revisit of a very popular feature that me
3:28
Rhys and James Vincent did where we went enduro packing on Hell Valley
3:33
It all went horribly wrong. Is that magnets? Yeah, it's loud. The idea of magnets on a top tube feed bag is that you can one-handedly just scrabble around
3:47
find some food, stuff it in and carry on. So yes, that will be bolted on
3:57
So, fuel pack, seat pack is here. Oh, one of them, yeah
4:04
It's dropper friendly. Because it's on mountain bikes, obviously, you need to be able to use your dropper post
4:09
And this is in a dark sand colour, which is new, I think
4:13
I hope they're all in the same colour, that would be nice, wouldn't it? It would
4:17
Bar bag. Handlebar pack, 9 litre. So that's going to be carrying tents, sleeping bags, whatever
4:27
If it's Ortlieb, will it be, I can't remember what it's called, welded
4:31
The seam, seam welded? Yeah, secret fancy weld. Mega voltage, and it melts
4:38
The biggest zipper ever seen. Oh, those are Ortlieb as well, right, good
4:43
So these are a track. I think that is a mountain bike specific one
4:48
And this one in the picture had some skis on it. Okay, well, crack on
4:53
Hopefully we won't need them, but it's the Elvellen. Oh, you're not going to Elvellen again
4:57
No, we're going to Arran. What a missed opportunity that is. Is it still there, the ski club
5:02
You know, it's April, it's Arran. Hannah says that the weather is always horrendous on Arran
5:08
Oh, that zip goes all the way around. Three times it's been perfectly all right
5:13
So this is a petrol, well, I'm just making that up, but it is called petrol. Yep
5:17
Colour, a track. 25 litres. Cool. Another one here. That's just called BP
5:23
So I will review all these bags when I've used them, bikepacking across Arran with James and Reece
5:31
We're all using the same bags, so there'll be maybe varying opinions on it
5:35
South to north, east to west, around. Getting a boat and then riding the closest stuff
5:42
Goatfell is near the boat. So basically going up the mountain. It's really high. Yeah
5:48
Oh, fine. And then, so I've just got back from the Canaries
5:52
Yeah, whatever. I went in a bike shop called Kamikaze Bikes, and there'd been no stock rotation
5:59
So really modern workshop, like a hydraulic, park tools, work stand, loads of really expensive new bikes
6:06
But all the cupboards were like vintage furniture and little drawers with all the components in. Yep
6:13
Every new stock he'd got, he'd just put it in front of what was there
6:17
So whilst he was fixing Reece's bike, I did some routing around
6:21
Obviously he'd never done his, got a go at Tesco, which is all about facing up. Yeah
6:27
Come on. None of that. Retail is detail. Honestly, the back of every single rack and cupboard
6:33
had loads of stuff that had never moved. And I found this
6:37
We don't, do you know what it is? No. Right. But I'm not, I just don't want to open it
6:41
So it's a Camelback Coolskins. Maybe someone could tell us what it is
6:45
I'm pretty sure it's the, it's a insulation sleeve for a bladder
6:49
the original Camelback. It's not very insulating. No, but it does say on the back
6:56
the best marketing of all time. Hydrate or die. Bring that back
7:02
I'm bringing it back because I didn't hydrate and I nearly died. This hole on my finger is from when I fainted on my bike. What
7:10
Why have you got a hole on your, what, what? It crashed into a wall as I was passing out on a climb. Okay
7:17
Well, you all go to warm places. I've not hydrated for quite a number of months
7:22
I've dehydrated. I've got an injury on my finger. I think that's from a paper cut
7:29
I'm opening these things for all these. Right, good. Excellent. Yeah, that's not fresh, but I just thought it was cool
7:35
No, it's very far from fresh. I love finding old crap in bike shops. How much was it then
7:39
So, well, it's supposed to be 1260, but he's obviously just, he didn't know it was there
7:45
Because when we took it to the till, he's like, where's that from? Right
7:51
That's Uros. Right, good. That's not bad. We have one question from last week's amazing 700 special edition
8:00
fresh goods video, which is from Adrian Wilkinson 2547. That's a lot of Adrian Wilkinsons on YouTube
8:09
If you could choose an artist to design your new bike colourway
8:14
who would you choose? Amanda, who would you choose? I thought you had an answer
8:22
Well, I do, I think. Does it, well, I don't know how to say it
8:28
Oh, right, God. I think it's Plotter. It's someone that uses data to make infographics
8:39
So, things like uses information about the tide to make a piece of art. Yeah
8:46
Is that a person? Yeah. All right. I want to know the name because this is half an answer
8:51
Whilst you think of yours or say it, I'll find it. Rothko
8:56
That was quick. Did you pre-read the question? I read it when it came in through the hot pipes
9:02
Plotter, nature, data and art. So, no one can see my phone, so we'll put some pictures on
9:11
Right, fine. But say this wildflowers are. What would be your data that goes into your paint job
9:18
What data would I want? Something to do with bees or. Wasps? No
9:28
No, fine. Something about creatures. I don't know which ones. Damien Hirst did some spotty bikes, didn't he
9:36
A Trek or someone. Didn't Trek do an artist series of things
9:41
It was in the Shall Not Speak His Name era. Paul Smith
9:45
Yeah, Paul Smith as well, yeah. Stripes. Oh, yeah. Ting. Not much choice, Paul Smith
9:50
I think mine's the best choice. And now maybe I'll ask them if they'll make me a frame wrap
9:55
If you get Rothko, you could just permanently stare at it. It would shift in front of your eyes and make you aware of your own mortality
10:01
and the futility of existence. I like data. But then come to the other side and achieve some bliss
10:07
Do you know what, who would be good? Whoever did the art for 90s Camelback
10:12
That's not faded. Well, we don't know, do we? Well. I don't know
10:18
Probably not. It's been hidden behind A&O, the product in front of it. Good times, good times
10:23
Right, what do we need to tell the good ladies and gentlemen and boys and girls at home
10:28
If they're at home, probably on a bus. Hydrate. Hydrate or die. Yeah, exactly
10:32
Enter the raffle. You've got five days, I think. Depends when this comes out and when the actual cutoff is
10:40
Today is Friday. It is, yeah. The 19th. That's right, yeah. So you've got five days to enter the raffle to win that bike. Yep
10:51
And there will be more raffles. Yeah. So just get in the habit of practicing entering the raffle on the website and then click around
10:57
and do some other stuff while you're on there. Yep. We have to say goodbye now
11:02
Say goodbye. Bye. Bye. Until next time. Come on. Can you get your hands up there
11:08
Come on. Up, up, up. Can you get up there? You're a bit scared, aren't you
11:12
Oh, there we go. We're recording, we are? Yeah. Hello, welcome back to a bonus, bonus, sea otter bonus
