Fresh Goods Friday 727: The East 17 Edition
Oct 18, 2024
Alright, alright, everything’s going to be alright. That’s what the chaps from Walthamstow say anyway. And who are we to argue?
This past week has seen Singletrackers in the desert and in the snow. All part of the rich pageantry of mountain biking.
Next week sees us e-xecute our first e-ver E-Bike Week. What is it? E-ssentially it’s a bunch of content, reviews and advice about e-bikes and e-biking that we’ve saved up to e-mit all at once, e-xactly at the time of year when a lot of people are out there contemplating if/when/how/why they should get an e-bike.
In the meantime, here’s a totally e-free Fresh Goods Friday for y’all.

Goods Friday 727. My name is Benji and I'm joined Just About
0:37
By Just About Hannah We don't know her last name Gone, forget it
0:43
So what we've got this week? I wonder Is it rubber? Rubber, yeah
0:48
So we've had these for a while We've been having to go on the verdict
0:53
And the judge This is the Vigilante And that's... Oh no, that's the vigilante
1:01
That's a trail boss. Didn't it a video like that? Oh, that would be a good quiz, wouldn't it? Yeah
1:06
Well, no. Good pub quiz, maybe. Yeah. Fondling, yeah. WD. Same treads
1:12
New compound. More importantly, the new casing, SG1. Don't know it stands for. Super Gravity one, don't know
1:17
Big burly fellows. Evie. So, have you seen it outside? And there's nowhere fast
1:24
I'd like to stay upright. Thanks. Is that all right? Thank you. This, what's that say there
1:31
That. Red Bull Rampag. Rampag. This is the... Oh God, that's short
1:39
So, this is the piece of merch that they made for the women's Red Bull Rampage
1:45
Okay, right, yeah. Okay, so the women's Red Bull Rampage... Well, that's what you all wear
1:50
Well, so Women's Red Bull Rampage was like a great moment in women's mountain biking and all of that
1:58
And then I'm presuming that some bloke decided that they were going to order a one-size-fits-all crop t-shirts
2:07
mark the occasion. So, yes. Can you buy those? I think you could, but I was given this
2:15
Right. Yes. Well, were you there or something? Shall I be like those annoying people that come back from holiday and don't call it beer anymore
2:23
they call it servaitha or something. Like this one time at Rampage
2:28
Yeah What? And right, good way You can read all about that
2:33
Multiple multiple multiples Yeah there's more to come I think there's more to come
2:37
By the time you God knows By the time you're reading this Watching this
2:41
There's probably more out there As well Yeah Okay yeah And there'll be a magazine feature
2:45
At some point in the future as well Is it rampage for non-rampage of fans
2:50
I am doing my best To persuade people Of the merits of rampage Yeah
2:56
I think I've taught Mark somewhat so that's quite an achievement but there is more facets yeah free ride
3:04
world so the bit that you see at the end the televised bit is the bit where people
3:09
throw themselves down cliffs right and what you don't see is them building that
3:15
stuff and then literally shaving you know an inch or half an inch off the like the
3:22
takeoffs and the landings to make them just right yeah and so it's that level of
3:27
precision. It's not kind of like it was in the old days where you did
3:31
sort of just throw yourself off and hope for the best. So yeah, and then there's lots
3:37
and lots of like running up to the edge or rolling up to the edge and kind of
3:43
miming it all. People catching you before you have gone past the point that we wanted to go Sometimes there are some people some spotters yeah Thinking Bob landed on that rock Brendan Fair Club yeah Grab by the guy who isn Ollie
3:57
Deeks? Yeah. That was a good bit. Yeah, it's good to follow on the old socials
4:01
It's a big diggers, isn't it? Yeah. Right good. What's those other apparel underneath that
4:05
So, well, this is like what all the kids would be wearing out there
4:09
Oh, look. Canyon. These are these. Crowbone or something in them out
4:13
Grant Canyon. No, well, yeah. Yeah. So these are some of Canyons urban sort of streetwear style stuff
4:22
Yep. With some pockets. No vows. All those cargo pockets. Yeah, they're called cargo pants, those
4:31
They can cinch up the ends for... Yeah, well, they're sadly a little bit big for me
4:35
or I would be wearing them and pretending I was one of the kids wearing a crop t-shirt
4:40
Because out there, none of this skinny trouser business that... They're wearing on the downhill side of it
4:47
They're all in things like this. Dickies, with their cuffs rolled up
4:51
No, it's his man. They're not peddling, are they? So I think there's a bit of techno to that five brick
4:55
I don't know whether they're kind of aimed at mechanics or something out on races or something
4:59
No, no, no. 150 quid. They're aimed at the kids. Right, fine, good
5:04
Good luck with that. So they're quite tough. Yeah. And a little bit of stretch to them
5:09
Yeah. Yeah, they do feel like school trousers. They're a bit like that
5:13
True techs. They've been very complimentary about them I rather like them and I'm sad that they don't fit me
5:20
I've got because I accidentally took them home I've got your sweatpants and your pillow that I took last week
5:24
You stole my stuff I go away for a week and you steal my clothes
5:28
They were massive as well Anyway this was in the last week's
5:32
Fresh Good story What is it? It's a chain damper from rim packed
5:38
I thought they did Rim protection They do inserts and they do wheel
5:46
bike stands them sorry bike stands that go into the bottom bracket I need to get a hold of oh that's heavy what is it
5:52
you know an old chain don't you yeah yeah you know what an old chain is that's like a floating spider
5:58
brake jack stuff what is it now but that's the black rotates inside the silver
6:07
okay so the chain ring it's got dog hair stuck to it bench
6:12
Everything has. You see, I've taken it apart and had a real panic in the dining room
6:16
when I couldn't get it back together again. Just I got some internal pictures for you guys
6:21
because I might want to see what it was in it. But I put it back together. So that moves not by your hand
6:26
because it's really hard, but that was attached to that and it kind of springs backwards and forwards
6:31
Yeah. Not really if a pedal kickback in the old theoretical sense
6:35
it's to deal with the top of your chain doing this, which is what the prevailing modern theory
6:41
is what Penn and Kickback really is, is controlling that. Okay. I'm 100% the wiser now as to what that's going on
6:50
I don't know. It was going on my orange, I would imagine. But yeah, that's the SRAM fitting
6:54
I think you can get a Shimano fitting as well. So that's what's inside them
6:59
Do you recognise these? Remember these things? In wasthmers. They're back, see
7:04
There's a big spring, like a metal spring in there, about that long, and that's the bump stop
7:08
when it comes about to stop it topping out against metal. Okay
7:12
Read all about it last week. Right. That's not helping with the whole, like, what day is it
7:18
What hour is it thing? Fine, what's that there on that stand? That is the latest issue of single track world
7:26
Out now. I do know that much. Joe, who took this photograph
7:33
he was out there at Rampage. He was. Nice laddie is two Did you give him one I gave him a magazine yes Good Did that just happen
7:48
And yeah, he's taken a load of more photos. It's worth looking on his Instagram at the photos he took of Banonido's rock splitting
8:00
So they built a massive lander for his canyon gap. and it was like at an angle and everything
8:07
there was this beautiful thing with a huge boulder at the edge of it
8:11
and they decided that maybe having a huge boulder on the edge of Yolanda
8:16
wasn't a great move and it was one of these bits of Navajo sandstone
8:20
which is kind of like the grit stone stuff we have around here but it's all hand tools
8:26
you only allow to use out there so they had to hand drill these holes into it
8:31
and then put these like I don't know what they're called metal spike things in
8:36
and then hammer them in so that it would split the rock and Joe's got photos
8:41
of that whole process. It was like old mining stuff yeah. So and then sadly
8:48
Yambay crashed. I don't wonder yeah did he do it didn't do it
8:52
No he did he cased the yes case the landing so thankfully the rock wasn't there
8:58
to catch him and then he wasn't I don't think he was quite right after that really
9:03
I think you had the best paint job. No, Robin Goom's had the best paint job with a Barbie bike
9:10
It's your opinion? Right, so we clear the deck so we can lift in the Swedish bike carrier
9:19
Okay. Nothing can go round. While you're doing that, shall I be like, this one time, a rampage
9:24
So they have much better bike racks in the US because they have vertical ones that fit on hitches, rear hitches
9:33
Which is on wheels. I forgot about that, mounted wheels to it. So you can wheel it up with that
9:38
So you can wheel it with that. So you can wheel it through the airport
9:42
See, that's easy, you know, isn't it? Well, you can wheel it from your garage to your Volvo
9:48
That's what I'm doing. Okay. If I sit down, I'm going to disappear. I could look through there
9:52
I feel like I'm sat around one of those oil-filled radiators. Too lay, easy fold three
10:00
This is the three-by version. version. They do a two-byte one as well. 829 quid I think, the two-by-one. This one's nine something
10:08
Okay. Toe ball, mounted. Should we do it? Should we do it
10:14
Go on. Reveal me. You can see it now. Oh, there we go. There we go. It's like a butterfly
10:19
One, two, guess what? Three. Three arms. Yep. So there's no number plate on it yet
10:27
That's my next job. Go to some dodgy dealer. He'll give me a number plate quickly because I want to use it
10:32
And it goes there. There you go. Good, darn it. So it's a variant on what
10:40
What's it not called the EPOS? Is that not the one you have? The one that Mark said is like the best bike rackies ever used
10:46
Yeah, but this is one louder. Okay. You can also get an additional thing
10:53
Doesn't like you take a full-on bike. We can put a kid's bike or a lighter bike to make it into a forecarrier as well
10:59
Oh. What's good about it? It kind of folds down. as compact as you get with minimal faff
11:05
Everything's lockable, those arms and stuff, and the whole thing itself is lockable onto your toe ball as well
11:12
It's something that some people can't just unhitch it from your toe ball
11:16
walk off with everything. I'm sure that's happened. There we go. Give it a go, isn't it
11:22
You ready? I don't know how you fold it. Go on. It not meant to be folded away There probably a button to release no There can be Well it just open says me at the moment Grab it
11:37
I'm going to go over this way. Okay. It is like a giant
11:41
It's not light, but it's not unrealistically heavy. I mean, I can lift it, so it can't be that bad
11:47
I'd say it was 30 kilos. Oh, my suitcase was exactly 23 kilos when I got to the airport
11:54
Was it meant, was it? 23 kilos of the limit. right gosh exactly right good for i bit to fort william and that was good so there oh yeah you you had
12:05
snow didn't you on the top meanwhile i was like i was sitting in a stream trying to cool down
12:12
well it's good yes arison uh and nevis range there'll be uh information about that new uh sponsorship
12:19
and fresh guns that's sure raffle oh yeah you know all about that do i
12:26
The raffle, the current raffle is for an e-bike. That's e-bike rated, by the way
12:32
That rack just reminded me. But not like an e-mountain bike, it's an e-gravel bike from Yamaha
12:41
Okay. Yamaha Wabash! It's three grand, I think, is it? So you could win a bike that you could play on or indeed you could commute on. Yeah
12:56
So not only would you be winning a bike, but you'd then be saving all the costs of all car commute for every more
13:03
Yes, I think we'd do our test sample one as well any day now
13:08
which I'll be having to go on that. Coming over the hills from far away with some lights
13:13
there's some mixed terrain. Excellent, yeah. So you want to get a hold of one of those, enter the raffle
13:20
Other than that, we are done. Are we? I'm not going to stay awake now
13:25
Whole time. Very well, very well. I have a pot noodle in bed at 1 o'clock this morning
13:32
It's all right, don't it? Is that unusual? Okay. I'm still trying to work through Moby Dick
13:39
