Would anyone recomend to use this bike with racks and panniers for 1-2 months trip? (Mostly road- Denmark-Spain).
Is it worth jumping $500 to the Posseidon custom 1x 11(SRAM Apex) set up or $650 more to get to the Salsa Journeyman Apex 1 if in budget?
Can you review the marin lombard 1?
Do you prefer this to the Marin Four Corners?
Hi Russ, thanks for the review. Will you by chance be reviewing the 2020 Nicasio 2?
Hi Russ, I watched your video on the Marin Nicasio and enjoyed it much. I'm looking for a durable, versatile and simple (KISS) touring bike and I'm looking at a similar variation of the Marin 4 corners elite. They get nearly 500% range and this might even be overkill as I have realized that when I'm out riding, I almost never pedal above 25 mph. My eyes are starting to water and there are now many cracks and chuck holes in the pavement, So I stop pedaling and start being very careful as I ride above 25. So if you take the 42t gearing off the front and put on something like a 36-38t, you get more low range and loose the high range that is nearly never used. Kind of like cars that are engineered for 100+ mph, but we rarely drive anywhere close to it. So the thing I wish you had done with your video is puts some bags and touring weight on the bike and see how it handles. I think that would significantly slow down the fast action characteristics of the geometry – me thinks? What say yee? If commuting, you want the agility, but loaded down on the trail or road, what happens? Thanks mark (tried to send this on your webmail, but it was broken)
Hey there, I bought this bike because of this review. And I really enjoyit, on the road and in the woods! I was just wondering, do you have any recomendations for a front and rear rack? I want to be able to carry a child seat on the rear as well as some bags, and a basket or bag in the front. Thank you in advance! Love your channel, keep up the great work 🤙
So, I noticed on the Nicasio+ product page, Marin describes the bike as the 2019 Most Supple Bike of the Year (with two wreaths). Since they value your endorsement so much, perhaps they will send you more bikes to review?
i’d rather buy something better but used if i couldn’t afford more expensive. This shit is a tank. My hard tail is lighter. And those toy shifters, no merci!
How heavy is this bike? 15kg?
Can It fit 2.1 tires? Thinking about an all around er vintner and this would be perfect but I want something I can put some big studded tires in the winter.
Russ I've been looking and debating what should i get. Recently my car took a dump on me. Been riding my mtb to work 10 miles each home to work. To make it short.i can't afford ecpensive bike and looking at salsa claris 650 or marin nicasio plus?. Im from colorado if that helps. Thank you and i love all of your channel.
what size that
I’ve just brought this model. Can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Is heat treated crmo much stronger than untreated?
What is the handlebar bag on the front with the elastic cords?
Largest tire fitment? If you answered already, I apologize.
I am ready to pull the trigger on this and in no small part this video helped immensely!
Thank You
i think duals are very bad for this bike
Russ, did you test a 50 or a 52?
Do you think the chainstays can accomodate a 50T chainring without tooth rub for fast fun commuting?
Nice seeing the review russ. I've been watching it a couple of times. Perhaps you already knew that marin had NICASIO 2 released which i guess is alittle bit more premium version of nicasio . Will you make the review of that nicasio 2 ?
Since nicasio and nicasio 2 already available in my country.
Look forward for your next bike review video.
How does the ride compare to the Salsa Journeyman 650b? I get the impression you liked this bike a lot better. Thanks
Im 5'5",what size will i get, 50 or 52?
Marin bikes are awesome. Do they offer road bikes?.
I can’t find any info on whether or not the wheelset is tubeless ready/compatible or not. It’s not mentioned specifically by you in this review or the unboxing. Or on marin site. Is it just to be assumed a wheelset on 2020 adventure bikes are tubeless, or was this to keep it in budget under $900?
I know many rims can be converted to run a tubeless tire, just really weighing this against a Salsa Journeyman and GT Grade Elite (Alloy). Both spec tubeless wheelsets.
Great review Russ! Keep up the great content!
anyone still here? lol. the breezer radar vs nicasio + both under 1000. Which one would you buy?
Hi russ,
What is the size of bike in the video? I am considering buying it but I'm between 52 and 54 size. Would you say this bike fits "large" or "small"?
So I'm unclear, Russ, did you like this or the Breezer better for a less expensive GB?
Am shopping for the gravel bike, but have not seen everything yet. Thank you!
Hey, congrats on getting your review video up on the Jenson bikes Nicasio sale page…
I have microshift 2×8 on my road bike and love the 2 paddle shifting and not using the brake leaver
Mongoose Guide Sport is far better for its $900.
You need to try a Fuji Jari. They come in at around $1000.
Considering a Marin Pine Mountain with a rigid fork. Wonder what you think of that as a bike for bikepacking?
$900
Low on price
Orly?
Psh mongoose Elroy will dust this at a third the cost.
where do I check for a good budget TOURING bike…?
Is the bottom bracket threaded? I really like the look of this bike, apart from the cranks.
Is that a jackelope at 5:22?
