hello hello welcome to single track live
0:54
we're here on a Friday to bring you a
0:57
selection of products that we've had in
0:59
this week brand new stuff we've had had
1:03
a few new products we can't tell anyone
1:04
about oh yes we'll be doing that next
1:06
week but we have some fine things we can
1:10
talk about we have yes what should we
1:12
start with we start with a the easiest
1:17
stuff before we get onto the danger
1:18
product the danger explosions so yeah
1:21
well this this is basically a danger
1:23
product though I brought this just
1:24
because it freaks chips out a little bit
1:26
because it's got lots of holes in this
1:29
cat like helmets which I believe is 80
1:32
499 and yep so this is like trip or
1:36
phobia central that's the correct term
1:38
for it for a fear of holes yeah it's
1:42
like lots of holes yeah so and is it is
1:45
it worse if I if I put my fingers yeah
1:49
so I don't particularly like the lots of
1:52
holes thing either and sometimes when
1:55
I'm watching Road races there's like a
1:56
whole team or wearing cat-like helmets
1:59
and I have to look away because it's
2:02
helmet so but yeah so I think we might
2:06
might see where the steward like to ride
2:07
this for his epic Highland 550 which is
2:12
going to be done on the other bike
2:14
that's in fresh goods Friday today all
2:17
bet is damaged yeah okay which is which
2:25
is quite a different bites of this one
2:27
here so I hope their van is a the robot
2:29
white company r130 which is its 29er
2:35
machine like all of robot spikes it's
2:39
built to completely adjustable or
2:44
tunable geometry because robot builds
2:49
all of these lugs these titanium lugs
2:52
are all built individually for every
2:54
single bike so we don't say 3d printing
2:58
is a metal additive many
3:01
shirring and its technology that is used
3:05
by Airbus and people so these titanium
3:09
lugs are all made on a little sprue like
3:13
a Giants of Airfix kit and they're made
3:16
to the to the geometry that you spec or
3:21
that they recommend for you so super
3:24
exciting kind of use of technology the
3:27
these are carbon fiber spars like you
3:30
might find on sort of you know racing
3:33
sailboats whatever single diameter
3:38
carbon tubes and then all the cleverness
3:40
happens in the lugs
3:42
it uses a DW 6 Dave Wiggles six of six
3:47
version of the DW link system which L so
3:51
that's that's the W that's not dub
3:55
something else whole the dubsteps system
4:00
yeah yes okay and it uses there's
4:04
actually a teeny tiny extra little link
4:06
down there the UNC but it's an
4:09
improvement on Dave wiegel's existing
4:13
amazing system that is used by the likes
4:16
of Ibis people and he said this is a
4:21
used by Airbus that the people who make
4:23
these are aerospace engineers or some of
4:26
them are okay they also they also make a
4:30
very nice go-cart yes they've just kind
4:35
of got got two of these and some poles
4:37
and stuck stuck them together put a seat
4:41
in the middle for a good video they
4:43
won't have to find for you yes we have
4:45
run it before but we should dig it out
4:47
it is not good for potential near-death
4:49
experience talking which unlike what you
4:53
know put the safety glasses or the
4:55
safety glasses on
4:55
we have oh they're not really safety
4:57
glasses he's actually better at staying
5:00
on my face than my own glasses right is
5:02
that there's a rad eight photochromic
5:04
glasses in a new matte finish so it's
5:08
the same frame as we've seen before but
5:12
yeah
5:13
Matt finish first of understated looks
5:16
which obviously you go in for yes dated
5:19
you can't can't see can't see my face
5:21
for aliens just the chin talking out
5:23
here yes although let's do stay on my
5:25
face very well I'll let somebody else
5:27
test them because they're not
5:28
prescription so I can't see out of it
5:30
so Dino plug see what you're doing it's
5:33
us a company American company that makes
5:37
a sort of very technology-based way of
5:44
plugging youtuber styles so the standard
5:48
method these days is to get a little
5:51
sort of squidgy noodle noodles D string
5:56
whose thick anchovy which you drive into
6:00
the tire with a little forked pokey
6:04
stick okay oh I was gonna go for fondue
6:08
Fork you know that that kind of thing
6:10
anyway so young to remember funding so
6:12
done yes yeah you don't remember the
6:15
seventies so Donna plug has this system
6:18
where they have these little rubbery
6:19
string bits but with brass tips and the
6:22
idea being that the the tool forces its
6:26
its way into the tire and then as you
6:29
withdraw it leaves the brass brass tip
6:31
secured on the inside of the tire with
6:34
the little rubbery bit sticking out that
6:36
you can then trim or just leave early
6:38
and it should plug you know reasonably
6:41
sized holes in you tubers type what you
6:46
then have to do generally is you then
6:49
have to pump your tire back up because
6:50
you you know you'll use these if sealant
6:53
won't won't fix the hole so your tire
6:56
will have been losing pressure as you
6:58
wave it around trying to get the the
7:00
thing to to seal and then you give up
7:02
and then you use a diner plug and then
7:05
everyone in the race has passed you by
7:07
this point yes all your friends have
7:09
left you because it's raining and it's
7:10
dark
7:11
so what diner plug has done is combine a
7:15
co2 tool with one of their one of their
7:19
sort of insertion tools so this looks
7:24
like half of their race at all where you
7:27
just pull the end off there's a
7:28
pre-loaded little you know you can see
7:30
it in there in its tube and normally you
7:34
would stab stab the tire and as you
7:37
withdraw the tool it leaves the brass
7:39
tip in place but here cleverly they've
7:42
got a co2 cylinder what could possibly
7:46
go wrong you're asking especially as
7:48
you've loaded a pointy Dyna plug onto
7:50
they're not not the round plug and then
7:53
they are actually less pointy than they
7:55
used to be but this here to I hold of
7:59
that so we get the logo and the co2 is
8:01
now linked to this tube here and it's
8:05
not for firing them from a distance
8:07
although that may be possible we are we
8:09
might experiment later but there you can
8:12
just see a hole there there's a pair of
8:15
holes and that is to allow the co2 out
8:18
so if I just I've got a bad film so so
8:25
there you go you can see co2 coming out
8:27
of these holes like that so idea is
8:30
right this is where things get a bit
8:32
dangerous it's only starting to get yes
8:35
so I'm gonna make a hole in a perfectly
8:38
serviceable tire sorry minion
8:42
okay so we've got a hole in the tire now
8:45
made with a screwdriver so that's 70
8:48
quids worth of tar we've now ruined and
8:51
now what I'm going to do is pull that
8:55
out and so we we pull out out okay
8:59
oh yeah wait yes coming out so it's
9:04
quite a lot of faff in your trailside
9:06
fix it oh there's tons of faff you know
9:07
you'd need to have a chat everyone gets
9:09
it jackets out okay so that has now gone
9:13
in it has plugged well we now have one
9:19
of those inside the tire but it hasn't
9:22
been deployed yet and what we can do is
9:27
we can add some more pressure before
9:31
amazing that does seem to be working now
9:34
in theory once I pull this out it will
9:37
leave the brass end in and
9:39
Oh give it a wiggle dear yeah so what do
9:47
we need to put some sealant well in
9:50
place there will be some sealants too to
9:54
help seal that well wear them give it a
9:57
bash away you know it's not like gravel
10:06
needs to be coaxed into place
10:08
there you go enough it's ok Evan's
10:11
Evan's getting ball tonight
10:12
but there you go so we're getting
10:14
sealant around there and it will
10:16
eventually kill that yeah so that's the
10:24
the diner plug air tool will be looking
10:28
later to see if we can fire things at
10:31
people but I don't think that's the case
10:33
yeah I think I think you need to have a
10:35
sealant topped up and fresh and yeah
10:39
liquid yeah all that sealant we had last
10:42
week that apparently lasts the life of
10:44
the tire and never find one so there you
10:46
go that's that's something that will be
10:48
interested to to races and your erasers
10:51
cross-country races you can ride with it
10:53
ready charged or you can just screw it
10:56
on yourself just know that she rides
11:01
with hers yes ready charge ready to go
11:03
kit bag ones yes so they go right well
11:07
that's a glimpse a few things we've
11:09
