Fresh Goods Friday 705 - The Power Washer Edition
May 17, 2024
Good day to you. We trust this Friday finds you well and that you are suitably pre-amped for the weekend.
Not pre-amped in the vinyl hipster stylee. That would lead to a low buzz that would interfere with your tweeter response. And NO ONE wants that.
Which totally does not bring us to the next point but here it is anyway: what is better than pedaling?
Freewheeling!
Coasting. Gliding. Living laughing loving life. Only bicycles can bring you this deep joy. Just ask Stanley Unwin. Who? Exactly.
Enough of the babble from a psycho (you’re very welcome), bring on the Fresh Goods!

Hello. We're here. I'm Hannah. I'm Amanda
0:28
And this is Fresh Goods Friday 705. We've got a lot to get through
0:35
Lots of things, lots of fresh goods. This, we're not sure whether this has been in before, but we like it so much that we've put it back in
0:43
The Elite bottle cage with a boa fastener. So you could put a non-standard bottle in there or you could put a jacket in there or even a tent maybe
0:54
Subway sandwich. Oh, not a subway sandwich. A potato. A burrito, whatever. Yeah, we like that
1:03
Things we also like. This tyre. Well, I don't know that I like it because I've not ridden it, but this is a Mostro Vittoria tyre
1:11
It's a new Enduro downhill front tyre that they recommend pairing with a Maza on the back
1:18
And I didn't ask for the price. It's just come into the office
1:24
Yeah, it's just walked in. So, yeah, check Fresh Goods for more details on it and for the price of it
1:30
Also just come in this. I'm very excited about this. So you might recall I was wearing some dungarees the other week, some wild rye dungarees
1:38
Those were not for riding in. They're just for like general activity
1:42
These are wild rye Freya pants. And these are for riding in
1:49
They've got cacti on. These look like I've doodled on them. They do look like you've doodled on them
1:54
Yeah, and I like that. And so I have high hopes for these because the owner of wild rye is tall
2:03
And so these trousers fit her. I think there's a good chance they're going to fit me
2:08
I haven't had a chance to put them on yet. I'll be doing that later. So those are one hundred and ninety nine dollars
2:15
They don't currently have distribution in the UK. I wish they did because I think they're making really nice stuff
2:21
There's lots of technical features in that. So I'll move those over there
2:25
Also, freshly into the UK. Is this available to the UK? This is available in the UK
2:33
This is kind of symbolic of the other American fresh goods that have come into the UK this week
2:42
which is my husband, which I'm very excited about, obviously. We should have hung him
2:47
Hang him? Oh God, that's a bit drastic. So he's brought with him to put on his bike these one hundred and sixty five mil e-wings
2:57
They don't weigh anything. We've actually got some scales knocking about. Well, I don't want to damage them because he's brought them to put on his bike
3:05
He's already got some e-wings on his bike, but he wants some shorter ones
3:09
So that's what those are. Not a new product to the market or anything, but in and shiny
3:15
And titanium. And they come with a 10 year guarantee. And if you look on the website and you're a Singletrack subscriber
3:25
you can read about Eric and his cargo bike that I saw at Sea Otter
3:31
And he had e-wings on his cargo bike for cycling all over America because he'd broken so many cranks
3:40
because he does so many thousands of miles. It was like, actually, I should just buy some that have a 10 year guarantee and then they won't break
3:48
Did you see what happened on last night's Pi ride? I wasn't on the Pi ride
3:53
I put a picture in here. Yeah, Dan had, he doesn't know how he did it, which when you see the picture
4:01
you'll wonder what's wrong with Dan, that he didn't feel it happened
4:05
But it looks like it looks like he's hit the very hard rock
4:11
This is the Pi ride that started off as a gentle gravel ride, non-rad option. Hmm. Okay
4:19
Talking of non-rad options, these you can't buy. And I think we're going to do some feet pics at this point
4:29
Am I in? So it does say on here, climbing or descending, hiking or shredding
4:36
I don't think you should do that in sliders. Here's the tread
4:41
Yeah, it's not actually made of the Shimano All Tread tread, these
4:47
But these sliders are to mark the Shimano All Tread existence, which is their new rubber on their shoes
4:55
And there's a review of those coming up in the next magazine by Benji
5:01
And he really rates them. So subscribe to Singletrack World today if you've not already done that
5:09
Oh, certainly by the 25th of May in order to get the next magazine
5:15
which, should we share a picture of the cover here? Yeah. And maybe like some quick spreads
5:24
Yeah, so we're working on that right now. Just done a flick through. Yeah, it's about to go to the printer
5:29
Yeah, we've got sliders from Shimano. Very exciting. I've got, I haven't actually opened this yet
5:34
I've not got my best thing. Where's it gone? Where's my pressure washer
5:42
Someone swiped Hannah's best thing because it's the best thing. I've got an Invisiframe kit here, which I've not opened yet
5:49
But this is, so I'm sure everyone's heard of Invisiframe. I thought it was me
5:55
They do. Frame wraps, blank sheets, patches, universal kits. So you could just get a generic, I've got a gravel bike that's a medium
6:06
Everything from road, gravel, hardtail, mountain bike, you can do downhill, you have fat bikes
6:12
And then you can get specific for your bike. Yeah, you choose your specific frame, model, size, everything
6:20
and they make them to order. Yeah. In the UK. So this is for a specialised status that me and Hannah
6:27
are going to Invisiframe later today. Oh, wow. Which is why I've got my fingernails done
6:33
Yeah, you can't Invisiframe without nice fingernails. So it comes with, let's show the camera, everything
6:41
You've got your work cut out there. Yeah. And then there's a little squeegee
6:48
You can do it at home. Great for cleaning your shower after you've done your bike
6:54
This box, don't know what's in it, but that comes with it. Installation pack. Yeah
6:59
So yeah, I'm going to fit this to Lewis's specialised status. You can fit them to a brand new bike, obviously
7:08
if you're that organised. But also if your frame's started weathering a bit
7:13
we still recommend that you... Yeah. It's never too late. It's never too late
7:18
And then you can peel it off again at the end as well. Like if you want to sell your bike or whatever
7:25
Yeah, like reveal the freshness underneath. But you can't see it, that's the point
7:31
It's not like putting one of those plastic sofa covers on. Have you ever been to someone's house where they've got
7:37
plastic sofa covers on to keep their sofa pristine, but it spoils all the joy of having a nice sofa
7:42
Yeah, no, you can't see it. Oh, they do a matte finish and the gloss as well
7:47
Oh, yes, it can match your paint. That helps you not see it. Do you want to go get your pressure washer
7:51
while I talk about the bike behind us? You really want to show it, don't you? But that's my bike too that I'm going to test
7:57
Do you want me to go and get your pressure washer? No, can we have like an ad break at this point
8:01
Can I go and get my pressure washer and then come back and talk about the bike
8:05
Look, look, my fingernails like coordinate so well with it all. Hi, welcome back
8:28
So, yes, this I'm very excited about because it's a pressure washer
8:36
and it's just it's just like a gun part. It doesn't have a tank on it
8:43
which is why I particularly wanted to test this one because then it doesn't take up a lot of space
8:53
Then it doesn't take up loads of space in your van. So it's got a little floater
8:57
You're going to chuck that in a body of water or a bucket. A bucket will be my plan
9:01
There's a floater there, a clip for if it is in a bucket
9:06
so it'll keep it in there. And then that's a pretty long hose
9:10
And then there's a battery to put in there. And then the lance goes on the end
9:17
Is it that? Is it that? It's got a twisty thing. I'm being given misinstructions
9:23
There you go. See, Mark's like... Yes, so one of the key reasons that I need to get this is
9:34
my husband has arrived and he's not allowed in the bathroom. No, so he's going to race at Fort William
9:43
And so we need to be able to clean his... A little bit muddy there
9:47
Well, no, maybe, I don't know. We need to be able to clean his bike off
9:51
So this won't take up tonnes of space in the van and doesn't need to be plugged in
9:56
You can charge it from the leisure battery or whatever. I really like that it stands up
10:00
Probably not a selling feature, but... No, it's useful. And then it doesn't like clunk over in the mud
10:05
and get all the filth, like all the vents. Yeah. So it's got adjustable pressure on it
10:10
So this maximum... Oh, it's like a Dalek as well. Maximum pressure of 56 bar, but you can lower that as well
10:17
With the eco button. Is that what it is? Oh, maybe. Yeah
10:21
And then you'll get more run time out of it. So that's going to find out how many washes of a bike
10:26
can you do with that. So I said there was a theme
10:30
Oh, that's 200 quid. A bit of a theme. Fort William, husband, Fort William bike
10:39
So bike over there. Did rather well at Fort William the other week
10:46
Not that particular exact one, but... Like three Saracen riders were in the top 20, I think
10:57
Which is like some of the best results that they've had in recent years at Fort William
11:03
So what are we doing with that bike? I'm not exactly sure why we've got that here
11:07
Apart from to look at and stroke. We do have quite a gnarly local bike park
11:14
We do. Yes. I'm not sure if we're going to be allowed to keep that one
11:18
or if it's just here to show and stroke. So what about this one? So that was the Mist
11:23
This is the Ariel 30 Elite from Saracen, which is like a trail bike
11:29
And the Elite model is new for this year. So they have the Ariel 30 is the base model
11:37
and the Pro is the next model. And Saracen usually has three models
11:42
So the Elite is the top. And they didn't have one in the Ariel
11:47
What until this year. It's got a bigger fork. It's got Shimano XT on it
11:54
But the bigger fork is the key thing there. So the interesting thing with this is they size the wheels
12:00
for the rider. So the small and the medium come as a mullet and the large and extra large come as a 29er
12:06
But with every size you get the linkage to adjust it the other way
12:11
So if you are an extra large and you want a mullet that comes in the box, but you'll obviously need to get yourself a new back wheel
12:17
Well, this is a medium. So you're a mullet then. Which I will be riding
12:21
And I have to say that's particularly nice yellow. Although it's going to clash terribly with my trousers
12:30
You're just going to look like a floating torso. A floating torso
12:36
So that is £399.99. £4 worth of bike. For the power change
12:44
I will be riding around on that. You could be riding around on a Jet 9
12:51
A 9er Jet 9 RDO. Which is the bike that's currently in a raffle
12:57
that you could win. So you enter. I think it's five quid a ticket
13:02
If you buy four, you get one free. And so the money goes to us to support our new server
13:12
And then you might win a bike. A Jet 9. Which is a cross country kind of full suspension bike
13:23
And you're going to choose it whatever colour, whatever size you want
13:27
I like the turquoise which we used the picture for. That would look really nice for your trousers
13:32
Maybe I should enter. So there's a few days left on that
13:36
What day is the draw for that? 25th. 25th of May. So two things to do before 25th of May
13:44
You need to join in the raffle. And you also need to join Singletrack World
13:49
so that you get the next Miles E. Which has a review of Shimano all tread shoes in it
13:56
What else is in there? There's going to be some Invisiframe in it. Some amazing Starry Skies from Pete
14:03
I went to Chile. So it's got a story about clothes all dry
14:09
All the food tasted nice. What else is in there? Interview with Bob Seals. Nationwide
14:16
How I went to the bank. Yeah, trails behind the Nationwide in Swindon
14:20
They're real. There's quite a lot in there. You can picture it
14:25
So yeah, subscribe and find it out. That's all you're getting. We've been looking at it so long
14:31
we've only got once in it. Right, shall we stop? Oh no, we haven't done questions
14:37
We can't stop. Keep going. We've got two questions. Adrian, what's your favourite film
14:43
Running on Empty. True Romance. What's Mark's? Highlander. Highlander? That's a bit of a different..
14:52
Actually, they're all different. Yeah, mine's not a romance. Well, I suppose it is
14:56
It's very violent. And then there was another question I think it was Breaks Too Much
15:01
who asked whether there are any companies doing organic mountain bike clothing
15:06
because it's all very well having recycled fabrics but if they're polyester or whatever
15:12
then you're still putting micro-plasticky things into the washing machine or whatever
15:19
and then off into the drain. We couldn't find any. So I think you'll find organic merino, organic cotton
15:26
t-shirts and jerseys but shorts and trousers they kind of invariably got some sort of polyester in them
15:34
otherwise they would get heavy and chafe, I think and there's no such thing as organic polyester
15:41
Well, I guess if anyone knows more than we do on a quick Google, then let us know
15:47
It would be interesting to know but seems unlikely. Yeah, I mean you could just wear, I don't know, like cards
15:55
and they're cotton but then they don't necessarily work that well in UK weather
16:00
Chasing would be an issue. But I discovered that there is a company down the road
16:09
like literally down the road in Rochdale that is like the original manufacturer
16:14
of waterproof cloth, oil cloth stuff. So I'm going to see if I can go and see them
16:20
because there's all that stuff about DWR and PTFEs and waterproofing stuff
16:24
I think that might be quite interesting. Funny little village around here
16:29
Well, just down the road, like the first people in the world to invent this stuff. I wonder how many times the building has flooded
16:34
Well, they were in Halifax and then in like 1812 or something they moved to Rochdale
16:39
Yeah, yeah, they've been known forever. So yeah, nerd, history nerd, weak, whatever, info
16:45
pub quiz question. Right. That's it. That's it. Let's go and play with it
16:52
Not playing with that, you're fitting some Invisiframe. Okay, I need to fix my fingernails
16:57
Check the next mag for how this goes. Yeah, or check out the fingernails as well
17:01
because at the moment they're chipped. I've got to fix them. I'm not very good at painting my nails
17:07
It doesn't bode well for the Invisiframe. If I can fit Invisiframe, you can fit Invisiframe
17:12
I think is the long and the short of that. And we'll find out soon. You'll be able to tell if like we haven't
17:17
because you'd obviously, you're crafty, you'd be able to do it, no trouble at all
17:21
I've got no patience for things like that. Okay. Anyway, thanks for tuning in
17:27
Let us know if you find some organic clothing. Enter all the things
17:33
Before the 25th. Yeah. Bye. Bye. We need to do like an outtake
17:56
Are we an outtake? Do we have an outtake? We are an outtake, yeah. Everything's an outtake, yeah
18:00
How much did you say? We need to work on how you say goodbye because it kind of just drifts off. How
18:06
You've like really... Goodbye. Goodbye, see you next week. Yeah, but goodbye, like..
18:11
I can do a collage of it. You do a... Bye. Bye-bye. Bye
18:18
And it's goodbye from me, it's goodbye from him. Oh, yeah, it should be maybe the one bit that's scripted
18:24
is the end where we say, like, subscribe. Oh, no, vomit, yeah
18:29
Live, laugh, laugh, live, bye. There's a podcast where they say something like
18:38
look after yourselves and if you can, look after someone else. Freeconomics
18:44
Yeah, Freeconomics, that's quite nice. So let's think of one then. And then there's the one, the Crime Watch one
18:49
where they go, like, don't have nightmares, don't do crime. Yeah. I think enjoy the ride then
18:55
I don't know, I can't, I don't think I can do cat traces
18:59
Like, I don't, I don't feel like that's a part. I would have thought anyone could, it's like..
19:03
What was it? Pop, pop a mozzie or something like that. I don't know
19:07
That sounds like Italian. I can't. No, like, that's that energy drink thing, isn't it
19:14
That's what Sam Pilgrim always says. This guy is going to be sick or something
19:19
Oh, what about that Irish guy? I'm delicious. What? You know the guy
19:26
Follow me or I'm delicious. Follow me, I'm delicious. I have no idea what that is. Garam Music
19:31
He's brilliant. I need to watch more YouTube, obviously. Okay, suggested catchphrases
19:36
That's clearly what we need is catchphrases, please. Definitely no one's still hanging around now
19:43
But, yeah, nothing that makes me want to, like, my skin crawl out the door
19:47
like, live, love, go for a ride. I like that. Something sweary, I'd go for that. Okay
19:55
Can we stop now? Can we stop? Can we stop now? That's the catchphrase. Bye
