Hello, welcome to Fresh Goods Friday 7.10. I'm Amanda and I'm here with Benji Hower
0:26
That's me, yes, still here. And we've got loads of stuff today. So let's start with the bike
0:33
Ready? Ready. Orbea Rhymes LT, longer travel, M10. Don't know what the M10 stands for
0:42
Pound signs, that's what I want to know, isn't it? Yes. So it's not five figures
0:47
Whoo! It's 7599 apparently. So it's this is restricted EP801 RS Genting motor. I think
0:58
it gives about 16 even metres. A couple of battery options. We've asked for the 430 battery with an
1:06
extender that I haven't fitted, but you can get it with a bigger 630 battery. Nice colour. Why did
1:12
you ask for the smaller one? Because I like it, just because it's an option really. Most of the
1:17
time, if you're just banging around for an hour, carrying around all that heavy metal, man
1:22
waste of time. It's got these that I loved on the other Occam's. Oh, that's not stable
1:28
Please don't touch, madam. This colour is called Electric Dolphin. Not as good as in my mind. 64 degrees at the front. It's probably just a bulk. Pointlessly
1:44
like half a degree or something by fiddle fangling with that. Don't bother. 77 degrees at the back. 440 chainstays. The reach I don't actually know. I'm pretty sure
1:56
it's the electric version of the Occam LT we recently reviewed. XT everywhere
2:03
Massive 240 mil dropper from Fox. Whoa. Might even be a bit too long for my little legs
2:09
but we'll give it a go. There we go. 7599. Yep. For that build. 160 mil, 150 mil travel. Yes
2:18
Cool. They only do two. They do the M team, that probably is five figures, and they do that one
2:23
Seven on that R. So what else have you brought? This, people want to see this on video. It's in
2:30
fresh goods static last week, and I fiddled with that on video. Probably wound people. Formula
2:35
Nebbia. Their first air shock for a while, ever. I think it is ever. Right. And it's got these
2:44
things in, CTS valves. I can never remember what it stands for. Compression tuning system. So
2:50
you've got gold in there. Gold is your light compression. Orange is your mid. Yep. And green
2:57
is your Christmas. Yes. Pine scented. These are travel reducers. If you want to put it slightly
3:04
just reduce travel. It's got Neo pos volume space. It's a bit squishy like a cork. What are
3:09
you putting this on? Orange switch six. Frequency sag indicator. Brilliant. There we go. 680 quid
3:20
for a fully featured air shock. Don't know how much it weighs. Don't know. Don't care. What have
3:25
you got? So I've got something that arrived seconds before we started filming and we're
3:32
hoping for a Toblerone, but we've not actually opened it yet. Also hoping it's not embargoed
3:38
because I am opening it now. You can pixelate it like they do in certain films. You don't want to
3:42
pixelate something that shape on our video. We're trying to put some weird music in background
3:49
though. Someone else noticed as well. On these videos? Apparently, yeah. I never really know
3:54
There won't be any of that this week because Mark is in Mosey. A bit of riding. A bit of recletting. I think it'll do more recletting than riding
4:12
This better be pretty good. Oh, well there's more than one thing. That's good
4:19
Hangle bars. Oh, they're full metal. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I don't recognize the logo. I've
4:26
been caught off guard here. I don't know. There's, I haven't got my readers on
4:30
Well, some notes on there. So 40 mil rise. 41.8 even better. A bit of back sweep and a bit of
4:39
up sweep. That's quite. Oh, put those on the other chin. Do you have bars for that machine? That's
4:48
not actually I've pillaged them off my hard sale. Yeah. So we've got some grits with
4:54
they're quite sticky. So these are 135 mil width. Gives a feel. We're trying to see how stiff they
5:03
are, but going by feel, they're. Essence of Brendog there, isn't there? What shall I say
5:10
There's probably a stem. I've got pedals, alloy pedals. Oh, it's a nice packaging
5:19
Looking at what I'm doing. That's nice. Machined looking. And it's from
5:24
got a saying I've written on that as well. Service. Oh, that's Lewis Collins
5:31
He's got big feet. Oh God, they are large. Um, no, Ross has got quite a big feet. I think
5:38
bigger than me. They're like diamond cut. Um, very, very smart looking. So as you've seen
5:46
we have only just. 33 millimeters long. Brilliant. Longer than my 32 one, but shorter than my 35
5:54
Right. Let's go on to things that I already knew about. So Hannah has been to the outdoor show
5:59
in Liverpool, um, which isn't just bikes. Uh, it's just outdoors and she got a goodie bag
6:07
and she's given us some tasters from it, but everything else will be on the website. So this
6:11
is a lead lenses. So it's actually got the press pack on it, but it's also a little, uh
6:19
light. I won't shine directly at the camera. So it's a four gig USB, a key ring, a light
6:27
Okay. Cause you don't, you never know when you're out in your tent. Oh, I suppose. Yeah. If someone's going to hand you a file that doesn't fit anywhere else
6:37
And this is a life systems intensity marker, which you turn it clockwise, turn it on. And
6:45
then to get to the next color, you go anti-clockwise and then clockwise. So you have to keep twisting
6:50
it until you get the color you want. It cycles through the Italian flag. Yeah. So yeah, that
6:56
is in the middle of the tent. I will offer some light. Uh, life systems are actually bringing out
7:03
so they do emergency shelters, but they're bringing out an extra large bivy of a, like when
7:11
you've gone out with the intention of bivy, an extra large ones to people that need more space
7:15
Cause bivy bags are quite a snug fit. It's that new. I really hope it's not embargoed. I couldn't
7:22
find it on the website, but she did see it at the outdoor show. Well, that's public place. It's fun
7:27
Aye, that's what I like. What's that yellow thing? This is curry peanuts from fire pot. Have you ever
7:32
eaten anything from fire pot? No, not knowingly. So Hannah said we can try these. We want, um
7:39
I've tried the breakfasts. I am having curry for lunch. This is a bit like when you wait
7:46
takeaway and we're just eating whatever's in the reception area. You can work on getting in that
7:51
while I go to these socks that she also picked up from the outdoor show that say darn tough on them
7:58
Those are the wrong length. Well, they are height ones. Like I said, it's outdoor and also too short
8:07
The same thing. You're on. Yeah. Uh, so if you are interested in outdoors product that aren't
8:15
bike related, comment on the fresh goods story, because we've now got contact with
8:21
a lot of other brands that do things that aren't bikes. Do you go outdoors? Maybe you know someone
8:26
who does go outdoors. There's 725 calories in that bag, which I guess if you're using it as
8:37
outdoor fuel, matters about the numbers. This isn't from the outdoor show. This is from Haymax
8:44
And it opens? Yeah. It's a pot that's pure. Pure what? What does Haymax do? Haymax is a barrier for stopping the pollen getting into your system. So instead of..
9:00
Okay. I annotate it as means that respond to it. Right. The idea is block it getting in in the first place
9:08
So it's a bit like when you put copper tape around a plant pot to keep slugs out. Yes. But you do that
9:14
on your nose. So I, I've used Vaseline in the past. Yep. There is some words in the marketing about
9:22
how this is different from Vaseline, but Ted will have to let me know because this is Ted
9:27
It's a bit of a sneeze fest. Yeah. And I think Ross's kidlets are a bit sneeze-prone as well
9:32
Yeah. So you can put it, well, I'm just assuming you can put it on all the... You don't get raped much do you
9:39
Look at that. See that? It's got a false bottom. Look at that. I don't know how
9:44
It's a little bigger than it is. Five mils. Not like it's lying, but... So you've got a handle. I suppose, yeah. Anyway, what else have we got? I, I've brought you all, um, some whiskey
9:56
Cool. From the Isle of Arran. Been there. Why have I bought everyone a present? It's because I'm leaving
10:02
I don't know if you're supposed to do it that way around. Did you know? Yeah. When is this
10:07
I did know, yeah. Shall I open it now? Is that a bit much? Yeah, do it. Yeah, wouldn't you
10:12
I didn't mention it last week. It's old news. Move on. Yeah, but, so I've brought everyone a bottle of whiskey
10:18
to drown their sorrows because I'm leaving, but I've also brought something else to leave behind
10:24
So I'm going to go and get that. Come on in, Amanda, the new Amanda. Hello. Hello. What's your name? What are you? It's a bit like, um, Blind Dave
10:37
What's your name and where do you come from? Uh, my name's James and I come from the Lake District
10:41
Well, I don't come from the Lake District, but I live there now. Where about? Uh, just south of Kendal
10:46
Uh, which, people? Yeah. I believe you. Thanks. It's very nice though. We tried some more when we were on Aaron
10:54
Quite early. I mean, it is in the PM, isn't it? Yeah, definitely. It's afternoon. I'll give some
10:59
I'll give it a sniff. That smells good. Right. Yeah. So Amanda's going as of Friday. Well
11:04
which is technically today. Yeah. Even though it's not Friday. No, it's Wednesday
11:08
We always shoot these films on Wednesdays or Thursdays sometimes if it's gone wrong on the
11:13
Wednesday. He's been drinking the magic there already. Welcome aboard. You've been here before, haven't you
11:19
I have. Been bits and bobs. Oh my gosh. A pinewood. Ben and Mum sells, uh, whisky glasses, finger-track needs
11:29
Go on, have some. Who, who what? Right, go on. A little bit. Okay. Um, got any tattoos? No. Neither have I. Good
11:44
She'll probably say what I'm going to be doing other than just replacing Amanda. I don't know. I've never knew what Amanda used to do. Amanda used to design the print magazine
11:51
review stuff and what have you. I'm basically, I'm going to be designing the magazine
11:56
Get in. That'll be out who knows when. Amanda will know when. She will. When's it on sale
12:04
Huh? Soon. Nobody, nobody knows. Yeah. August. Because one's October, September, no. It goes to
12:12
print 18th of July or sometime towards the middle end of July. Right. So it'll be a couple of weeks
12:18
about a week or so after that, maybe. All right, good. So yeah, um, make my life easy. We need cover
12:24
pictures. Yes. Not this issue, but send, send lots of cover pictures through. Yep. Um, where do people
12:30
send them? Uh, Amanda's mouthing to me behind the camera. She's still here. We can't get rid of her
12:37
Um, what is good thing happening to you Eric? Is it art at singletrackworld.com, um, or
12:44
james.vincent at singletrackworld.com. Either of those, um, or some wraparound cover pictures, please
12:51
Yeah. Um, don't know. I've not got any comments we're going to do. We're going to miss, I think
12:56
we're going to put comments and questions and answers in podcasts from now on, which will be
13:05
the one just got out on Saturday. Should we go back and resubscribe to that by
13:08
whatever you do, podcast three. Other people do it. And then, uh, so the next one will be, uh
13:18
every, every fortnight, I think is the plan. Um, right. Welcome aboard me and James. They're going
13:23
to probably get James a drinking vessel and we'll just, I don't know, forget about the rest of the
13:27
day. Shall we? Yeah. What time is it? It is lunchtime. Lunchtime. We've already broken the
13:35
secret that it's done on Wednesdays, by the way, we just forget it. We don't care anymore. Okay
