0:49
if it floats away yep FSA stands
0:53
for Full Speed Ahead correct at that it
0:56
even says it on
0:58
there these are very floaty lights those
1:02
are for graveling really they are called
1:05
oh the the Kwing agx and I think the 440
1:09
means they're 440 mil wide okay I should
1:12
really CM I like this it's got not not
1:18
not zti but it's got like reusable
1:20
useful velcro good not velcro it'll be
1:24
hook and loop w't it I don't know anyway
1:27
can't actually get that one off without
1:28
some effort but look it is
1:31
flat flat on the top other flat bits
1:34
there lots of hollow bits for your cable
1:37
routing
1:39
routing yep I don't know looks very deep
1:43
but very highly shaped so what going to
1:45
do is weigh them Jack we can weigh them
1:47
oh you can try and that means I will
1:48
have to undo this oh there we go
1:52
look Le I believe but I say you can't
1:54
see it I don't know how you're going to
1:55
balance them there good look there well
1:59
I'll have
2:01
to this is like live but it's not is
2:07
it it will
2:09
work bear with throw to a um all those
2:14
cards like five minutes later
2:17
226 okay grams does it go back to zero
2:20
yes it does right there you go not is
2:23
that heavy is that light I don't know it
2:25
feels flipping light but bars always do
2:27
don't they these are pretty floaty like
2:29
me there not there's not a lot of them
2:30
there's a lot of holes in them for all
2:32
the internal everythings where's the
2:35
where the handlebar it's here in this
2:36
massive box this is for mountain bikes a
2:41
KFX MTB handlebar KFX are they a frash
2:45
metal
2:46
band no FX was that them yeah right o
2:52
there's even bar end instructions that
2:54
gives you a little bit of a clue as to
2:55
what these half shiny half not shiny uh
2:59
yeah they are I'd say they're about 760
3:01
mil wide quite
3:03
narrow pretty flat as well aren't they
3:06
as not a lot of Rise they are looking
3:08
like your cross country not that wide
3:11
very straight 40° up 90° back and
3:14
there's Alles in them isn't there loads
3:15
of hes so that's for a bit of ebite
3:19
routing for cable things as well
3:20
probably di2 stuff and all that kind of
3:22
Maly while that's still around cabled
3:26
pricewise I wonder what that's called KF
3:29
X flat bar I think that is
3:32
[Music]
3:33
$174.99 okay oh yeah it says on it as
3:36
well think useful information like 6
3:39
Newton met for your brakes when you're
3:41
tightening them up well that must be
3:42
there's a specific area there for your
3:45
bar ends and those for your
3:47
controls 160 m that's quite a lot isn't
3:49
it it's quite we're going to weigh them
3:52
okay come on okay be lighter than those
3:54
on must
3:57
be 182
4:01
grams okay and I think that's even with
4:03
some kind of protecting sticker on it
4:05
tape on it yes I'll take a gram off
4:09
181 what else come on something else is
4:11
in there oh yeah this shuming is for the
4:15
gravel pairing because it's quite quite
4:18
big box long for um a stem go let dip
4:22
that whoa hly moly maybe it is for those
4:26
bars this is XC in it my back hurts
4:29
there you go look and now my back
4:32
doesn't hurt excellent two bolts though
4:34
not a four bolt that's interesting to
4:38
me
4:40
gold oh and and one of these things at
4:43
top these keyed in spaces and like okay
4:46
or without the spaces God 127 G for a 70
4:51
mil long um KFX two bolt stem not carbon
4:58
is it no no cold as well yep 149. 99
5:05
paned okay now right what else is there
5:08
from House of
5:09
FSA oh some those in the little sleeping
5:13
bags oh these are Vision which is their
5:14
sister oh okay brand is it I think so I
5:18
thought they were deep dish whatever you
5:20
call them deep section but they're not
5:21
they're just little
5:25
shrouds like
5:26
that what wheel shrouds not right right
5:30
in it stop getting damaged in transit I
5:32
guess cheaper than a
5:34
wheelbag uh those are vision sc30
5:39
agx and 30 probably denotes the depth of
5:42
the rim I would imagine this c typ a
5:44
world tubless X XD and I don't know what
5:48
the
5:49
uh disc thing is doing I'm presuming
5:52
Center lock but it's under a bit of
5:54
rubber oh God yeah right F put it back
5:58
put it back put it back on
6:00
now those
6:03
are carbon so not that cheap bladed
6:08
spokes fairly normal Square nipals on
6:11
them probably
6:13
alloy um guess how much $
6:17
1,229 199 for the pair okay part for the
6:22
course in don't really know we have to
6:24

6:34
on
6:36
no see what we are an equal
6:39
opportunities uh where tools we've got
6:43
Park and we've got feedback oh okay um I
6:47
can't see that cuz of the lights can you
6:49
read
6:50
that
6:52
73 what 73 God that's light is it 730 G
6:57
yeah plus
7:02
C what
7:06
this this is more stressful than I was
7:08
expecting uh
7:10
820 well there you go that's there you
7:13
go together not bad that Christ so we
7:18
need to put those little shower caps on
7:20
them we do don't we do that later um
7:23
okay final thing from the old FSA gang
7:28
is some
7:30
Mountain bik Wheels there you go oh so
7:32
these ones aren't Mountain bik Wheels
7:34
wasn't pay attention she's
7:37
uh yeah all road
7:40
gravel okay Road riding people don't
7:44
well these have got little reinforced
7:47
nipple bits they
7:49
have uh but they also don't have the
7:53
pre-taped no the tape is look at WID of
7:55
that and all bit of that it's a saer a
7:59
saer
8:00
gosh that is very wide tubless tape cuz
8:04
I think these are only it says KFX i28
8:07
which I would imagine his internal 28
8:09
but that means that tap we'll go all the
8:10
way to the sides okay groovy right you
8:14
ready oh we're doing that again okay
8:16
that's what it's all about it's carbon
8:18
isn't
8:19
it is that still on yeah that's 8 oh
8:22
keep still 820 820 all right cool
8:29
know the from yeah yeah uh
8:35
710 hang on I think that's lighter than
8:37
those ones was it possibly mounted by
8:40
ones oh but then it hasn't got the tape
8:42
on it yet this has got the like tape
8:45
stuff I can't measure that can I it's
8:48
that's the whole role with delin thing
8:52
well hang on so I 91 uh I remember
8:55
reading some press release that had they
8:57
had integrated thingies like like that
8:59
and it saved 30 gr that was a different
9:02
brand but you know with rough right at
9:05
least you can get at your nipples
9:06
properly when you if you break a
9:09
Spoke get them out and stuff like that I
9:12
don't really want an integrated RM bed
9:13
thank you very much valves with that and
9:17
stickers stickers yeah not as good as
9:19
our stickers we don't know we haven't
9:21
really read anything about these gravel
9:22
Wheels yet what are those for like two
9:25
little owl eyes I saw an owl this week
9:28
in fact I saw two owls this week did you
9:31
saw one a little owl I think I saw an
9:33
owl in the day in Wales might have been
9:36
a little owl I don't know what else is
9:38
there stickers and and big
9:43
mugs or a big mug what's the volume of
9:47
that mug as in capacity oh that's
9:49
numbers I don't know you need to prepare
9:51
me questions like that it's to show the
9:54
pints 450 milliters there you go 4 I
9:57
said
9:59
is that 450 milliters and Mark says
10:01
that's just short of a pint it is short
10:03
of a pint I'd be very upset if I got a
10:06
pint in the
10:07
pub that was as small as that well you'd
10:10
be surprised how small pints are they do
10:13
you know they are now going to cost us
10:15
one pence a pint less breaking news in
10:18
the budget that's happening right now
10:21
draft beer or draft draft alcohol
10:26
is at the moment for another two weeks
10:28
until a key birth birthday not mine okay
10:31
well if you go out suggestions for
10:33
interesting low sln per beers cuz I had
10:37
a beaver Town one and it was like just
10:39
felt like someone had melted ice cubes
10:41
in a good beer uh I have one that's
10:43
something to do with so pools and it was
10:46
nice I'll have to look it up for you
10:47
it's like eringer that used to be a good
10:49
one but I can't find it oh are they the
10:51
one that do a grapefruit eringer oh no
10:54
idea that one's good anyway this coming
10:57
back but yeah so this well if you're
10:59
you're not going to make any bad
11:00
decisions if you're DET toal I've I've
11:03
made many already or you'll have to take
11:07
responsibility for all your bad
11:09
decisions great stories right good so
11:12
that is $3.99 that not a pint mug okay
11:16
and it's in our web shop now I believe
11:18
so and there are other things in our web
11:22
shop for sale not these what we are
11:24
wearing because no these are like
11:25
samples and they might be staff only
11:28
yeah go this is large it's very comfy
11:32
actually I like Hood's being bigger I
11:34
don't whether that's just harking back
11:36
to there yeah but when you stand up on
11:38
that one it is a little bit like your
11:40
auntie bought you one for you to grow
11:41
into WR with my auntie nothing but they
11:44
always buy you stuff to grow into duanes
11:46
don't they well yeah I don't mind it
11:47
it's quite long in the body yeah but the
11:48
seves are good okay but yeah you can't
11:51
have one of them but you can have other
11:52
can the order
11:54
stickers they exist right there you go
11:58
yeah so what else we got planned for the
12:00
old merch t-shirts
12:02
t-shirts udies ATS we're debating what
12:06
format and what embroidery
12:10
theme yeah that' be all right would it
12:12
good and we're thinking um well yeah
12:16
because it's November and December which
12:18
is yeah let's not mention the thing but
12:22
the thing is happening and obviously we
12:23
also do gift subscriptions yeah back to
12:26
Mundo so which would result in you
12:28
receiving
12:30
magazines through the post all year long
12:32
in indeed did I say how much those
12:34
Wheels were I don't think I did did I
12:36
those Mountain bite ones cuz there the
12:39
way less they cost more we need to go
12:42
backwards in
12:43
time
12:46
1,699
12:47
99p for the mountain bike wheels that
12:50
are lighter in the gravel Wheels okay
12:53
there you go right I think feel like
12:55
I've forgotten something I don't think I
12:57
have we're not okay well Mark's doing
12:59
that signal that means we're waffling so
13:01
I thought he's just limbering up oh no
13:03
is he is he waving or is he drowning
13:05
okay let's go rescue
13:07
him you don't do that if you're drowning
13:09
do you I was told this the other day
13:11
what don't look for anyone want evening
13:13
cuz if you're drowning you basically got
13:15
no energy to do anything so you look out
13:16
someone doing
13:17
that yeah going under and blowing
13:20
bubbles yep that's my helpful
13:23
hint okay today right okay yes uh ride
13:27
safe don't drown in any bules and we'll
13:29
see you next week bye for now bye
13:34
[Music]
14:03
why this my first job was a lifeguard
14:06
and some somebody two people triy to
14:09
drown at the same day at same time on my
14:12
first day right yeah I rescued them all
14:15
right good inm po or wild in a swim po
14:19
yeah good yeah do you have to wear
14:22
yellow uh I did have a yellow uniform at
14:25
one point yeah yeah but the staff
14:28
training was slightly inadequate so
14:31
they' given me they'd given me an alarm
14:34
or like they showed me the alarm that
14:35
you're supposed to push before you
14:36
jumped in the pool to rescue everybody
14:38
okay and um and the one that they showed
14:41
me had a great big red button right and
14:44
then I was sat up there and then I had
14:46
course to press the great big red button
14:47
and looked at it and it didn't have a
14:49
great big red button it had like a
14:51
concealed little red strip on it so then
14:53
I didn't need know how to put the alarm
14:55
on so I just blew my whistle and just S
14:58
I just B them let them drown no
15:01
I want to rest me break now it's quite a
15:04
good way to start a job like within an
15:05
hour of starting be like hauling two
15:07
people out that's interesting cuz I
15:09
imine most the time it's freaking well
15:11
boring and it it's mostly like you can't
15:15
really not look so you got to be like
15:17
just staring at you yeah you are
15:19
watching people yeah don't do that put
15:21
her down what yeah Fair do it's mostly
15:25
about petting was it
15:30
thought that was just you'd never go
15:31
swimming again if you knew what people
15:32
did in
15:34
pools heavy petting was on the ebra
15:36
phrase I saw on those
15:38
signs I didn't know what for so long I
15:40
didn't know what to be petting was
15:42
people do it in swimming
15:44
pools well B are disgusting
