Fresh Goods Friday 702: The How Many Film References Edition

Hello, welcome to Single Tracks Brush Goods Friday 702. I'm Amanda and I'm here with Benji Howarth

Hi there. What have you brought? A feast of a week as opposed to the previous famines. Shall we rattle through it quite quick? Yeah

Yes. What's this I wonder? Maybe it's a full face helmet and a bag from Cali. It's called

the Cali. Oh Cali. That's from Temple of Doom. I think. Maybe it isn't. Indiana Jones

I think he said he's racist. I was a bit accused of being in that film. That is Trinity I think

they call it. Don't ask me why. Deets on the Brush Goods Friday story. It's one of those

shiny ones. We almost revealed it two weeks ago so there it is in case you're wondering what was in that bag. What

That looks a bit like Tron. A little skull cap from Tron

Oh so that's good. You can take it out and properly clean it

Stay for the film references. Yeah. There's two as well because there is one installed

Oh so you get really sweaty halfway through your ride. Switch it out

Yeah because it's not bigger or thicker. Or maybe something to do with levels of padding. Yeah I've had a free go but I feel the same

I have brought some Ohlins suspension. Ohlins? Which I've not had a look at yet

That's just a very small fork. Oh that's so cute. That's a very small shop

Look at that. It is a small shop. That looks like it's about 190mm. 40mm stroke maybe

You can hold that little guy. So that's probably going to be an orange. The Reese's orange

I'd say Reese's stage Evo. That's like a toy. Wow. What's in there then

This looks like a lot of box for cross country sport. So we've got

These are the same box for even the triple comp probably. I'll stop rustling. I think this is 120mm travel

It's 29mm I thought. So yeah. Oh yeah. It's got a nice silk finish

We've been at it a while. We've done a store in them. We've reviewed the 130mm one

They are now doing. This isn't it. But they do 140mm in that chassis

These days as well. That's 120mm. Wow. Well cute that. It's like a Lego thing isn't it

Lego Technics. Right. What else have we got? Have we got anything that's a controversial colour

What do we want to know about this? I don't know. What twiddly twiddles have we got on the top

Shall we have a look? What goob has this one got? You haven't got a twiddle of that. Right. LSC

Which is the London. Not really. London Stock Centre. I've got rebound and I've got C for cute

Maybe it gets even smaller if you turn that one. OK. And it's got a firm up climb switch

And a gold rebound which is better than red. Yeah. It's all very matching

Swedish gold. That's what you call them. Right next. So behind us is a bike that is for Ross

Who usually avoids colour at all costs. And he would have done with this one probably

But they do this quality street version. Which chocolate is it? It's like if you mind melded one of those triangular noisettes

With one of the blue coconut ones. Is that what they are? Yeah. Maybe

It's a 120. So what travels on the back? 130. You've got it

What's on the front? Don't know. 140. Price wise. We think it's 3.1 thousand

Not bad that. What stands out to you at first glance? Traffic sector

Oh yeah? That you can't see probably. I've looked at some pictures on some internet somewhere

Up above the streets. I noticed the Limitech. Yep. Just because I've not seen that before

It's their own brand. I haven't ridden a Merida. It's 200ml. It's 34.9

And it's chunky. Got one of these on. But I haven't got one of those through the face things

So you know. Count your blessings. Should be alright then. Lots of bosses

66, 78, 48, T. Maybe. That's all I can remember that Ross told me

This has made me think I possibly have some seat clamps in the wrong direction on my bikes

I like the bolts at the front. I like it. It looks really neat from behind

Oh and it's got a tool store there. Yep. I thought that was one of those

You know those things on the Pro Tour. Road racing. Where they have the transceiver on the back or something

So they can follow you. Maybe it is. Yeah maybe. Anything else on your side? No. Oh

Well actually I do have a big pile of boxes but I don't know. Yes. Totem poles

What in the box? Alright good. Wow. I've got more stuff. Dr. Zeus

Fox socks. Not Dr. Zeus. Who was in Planet of the Apes

The guy with the nice tarred leather. What leather did they use

That's what I want to know. Right. Fox shoes. We've had some good results

Not results. We're not racing. But I like the normal Union flats

Which this is the Boa version of. What's in there? Different. Do you call that a torso or something is it

So you take the insert out. Yellow one. Oh. Something for a red

Red one's thicker if you need more support. Red. Very good. I know there's holes in them but they're very good at not getting wet

Are they a two way? Are they? Excuse me. Two. I don't know

I think they're actual Boa Boa Boa. They don't have to call them like some patent avoiding thing

Yeah good. I have high hopes for those. They're 43 and fit like 43

They fit like 43 as well. Can you believe it? Who'd have thought that cycling shoes are the right size

Not cheap but the ones we've had on the normal flats are holding up very well

A pair of Forecasters. Small ones. 27.5 yes. Oh this is. What are they for

It brings us on to a long term project of ours where we are putting my Orange Switch 6 on a diet

Why have you not got odd sizes of those? I don't know why they're sent two. We're just getting in the habit of sending two out of one but we've got two

So pretend one's a 29. We already have a 29 so we're going to put Forecasters on a pair of Carbonium wheels

Arrow wheels. With a Pro 4 hub. Yep. Pro 4 on this because that means we can get older that quicker which is the XD version

They are doing mullet carbon wheelsets which I can't really find anywhere when I look around

So there you go. I haven't looked. Just over a grand I think. So we'll see what effect, positive or negative, it does putting lighter stuff on a bike that is supposedly heavy

So you're putting heavy things on my bike. I'm jealous that you get the Forecasters

Well it's the wrong word isn't it? What we're doing is robbing my bike of its function and putting it on yours

Pillaging it, yes. And for some reason we're going to weigh it like that for metric

But that's the point of the arguing that we're going to do. We've got some of the. Oh, Centeloc adapters

Bits and bobs. Some of the best things ever aren't they? I think I always end up in the workshop as a wrong thing

That's fine because these are actually good ones. I think the ones I gave you are like bodged versions of with like hammer marks on and chisels and from eBay

Well for that I'm going to keep these socks. And Ross wants those. Ross isn't here

Actually Ross took the white ones. If he's going visible he's going all out. Right

So do we have any questions? Oh God I've absolutely no idea. Oh

I'll have to do a quick edit. No it's far out of my way. I probably didn't ask

Take the white one off. I think you've got a question. Got any questions? What we did to your bike

Because yours is kind of like. I don't want to know that's why I'm not asking. Geez

Alright so. What we're doing in stages is the idea of why we're going to do it over a long term thing

We're going to add. You know how you add things until you get past a point and then you put things back on

And we might end up as a happy medium. So I think probably light wheels like these but shod with some decent rubbers

It's going to be better than putting chunky rubbers on heavy wheels or something

Or light tyres on light wheels. I don't know. Okay. So. What else are we talking about on these things? Nothing

We end it. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done

We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done

We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done

We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done

We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done. We're done

So, versus diet the heavy bike or bulk up a light bike. That's going in

That's going to be going in the one after, which is 156. I know what's in it. So, the grinders will be... Chilli

I went to Chilli. Oh, yeah. Road cross country bikes on dry trails

That's going in. Right. That sounds half good. Peaks Fully In's got a feature, and it's one of those where the pictures all make you go..

So, there you go. So, there you go. So, there you go. So, there you go

So, there you go. So, there you go. So, there you go. So, there you go

So, there you go. So, there you go. So, there you go. So, there you go

So, there you go. So, there you go. So, there you go. So, there you go

So, there you go. So, there you go. So, there you go. So, there you go

So, there you go. So, there you go. So, there you go. So, there you go
