Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Elite wheels black friday
« on: November 22, 2024, 08:50:39 AM »Bro stop shilling your blog everywhere. You are basically the only one on the whole internet who thinks edges are soft. Maybe get a better bike and some good tires for your testsWhile I don't understand why there is so much hatred in your comment, I do see your point. As someone who cares about content and spends a lot of time and effort creating it, I also try to get it to the target audience. I admit that the form I chose here was not the most fortunate.
Regarding the stiffness, I tried 15+ wheelsets (steel and carbon-spoked ones), and I rate them relatively, but not absolutely. This means that yea, they are soft compared to carbon-spoked wheels, but not compared to other steel-spoked ones. Maybe I did not choose the best wording and should write "relatively soft compared to wheelset X".
Easy now kubackje. Peters articles opened the idea of Chinese bikes to me, with his build reports I read years ago. Dont insult, but let Peter know who he could improve his test. I doubt you have read “the whole internet” to know that he is the only one with that opinion, so be more kind!Thank you. I would love to hear what I could improve. Before I started doing wheel reviews, I asked 30+ people what they wanted to read in them. It was 3 years ago, so maybe, the preferences changed.
And to be honnest, I like his reviews.Lol, thanks. Yeah, I don't speak sophisticated English. Pronunciation could be better sometimes, but I'm glad people get the message!
But the best thing is that I understand perfectly his english.
kubackje: Slightly edited your post, sir. You have a fair point about him shilling his blog but no reason to insult his work. Looks like he's working hard on it and is improving. At least it's not AI-generated content which is so commonplace now.Noted, and I apologize.
Petr from Cyclists Hub: He has a point. Out of 17 posts you've linked your blog 5 times. You're free to promote it here and we appreciate your engagement with the community but maybe chill on pushing it so much and dropping links a bit. You've got 5 do-follow links here that I'll leave which should help your SEO. From this point forward, I think providing useful answers and having your blog promoted in your profile as you do should be sufficient.
Thanks for understanding.

). I understand your point, but we are in a pretty difficult position. If you don't release a review within a few days after the product launch, you are basically irrelevant, and nobody cares. Spending another 5-15 hours making a second video, which will most likely have a much lower reach, is not viable. If I update the firmware of the reviewed product and find a change in behavior, I try to update my written reviews or write a comment under my video reviews. But yeah, cycling is much more niche than technology like smartphones, where you get hundreds of thousands of views (if you are good), and each video pays for itself multiple times.
