Welcome back people. I am your host SK Gitonga and this is Unfinished, the only place where we finish and finish matters. Today we're talking about relationships and onto our next question. How do you deal with the breakup? Let me know in the comments section. I think maybe going out, partying with friends and maybe eating a lot, that usually helps me out. So eventually I'll just feel better over time. But time heals everything. What advice do you have for a person who's not feeling well? Take it easy, accept the past, don't let it get to you for some time, don't let it get to you for long. You can choose to live your life. Breakups, ouch! I guess you just have to take it. It was coming but unless you're married, if it's boyfriend-girlfriend stuff, a breakup might happen and if it does, you just take it.  It's bad but yeah, take it.  Yeah, immediately. Let's say you move on the next day.  Yeah. I'd say you deal with your emotions.  Like you see coin denial, like you're okay. Because it's a good job. If it's not one year later it will still come back because you're a human being and you have to process your feelings. So I feel, okay, I think that you should deal with it. Like you deal with it.  If you're someone who gets depressed, you have pajamas all day and you wallow just to that. Yeah. Breakup is just like sipping water. You sip water and then once it's done, it's done. So you move on. You take another cup of water. Yeah. Breakup. First you cry. After maybe crying and going through everything, maybe the feelings and maybe feeling betrayed or maybe we are the one who betrayed someone. You come and learn that you are able to be there for the amount of period you're there. You are able to enjoy that time with each other. But in the end, if you like, once you just accept it, which is difficult, maybe for people who have been in love and everything, but for after some time, you know, time heals everything and time heals all wounds. So I would say that get out there. Don't resent the maybe the opposite gender or maybe a type of gender, maybe your heart in some way. So once you break up in someone, just try to move on, forgive or maybe be forgiven for what you did and just try to find other relationships because there's always something better out there. Maybe cut communication and move on to break, then your life will move on regardless. It's a good one. It's a good year. It's a great one. Find something else to keep you busy. Break up not to get me, but to keep you busy. Maybe name too many cheats from, maybe you can find a united one here. You can find your friends, maybe you can be together with your friends, maybe you can communicate with your friends. That's tough because people actually get to deal with different things during break ups. So well chilling out with friends, playing video games and maybe not looking for clinging on to your ex, your immediate ex. I think that would be good for me. So don't text them, just completely move on, do other things because there are a lot of people out there who are also looking for partners and everything. Yeah. I've never broken up. So when we get there, I think we'll cry a lot. Yeah, we'll cry a lot. And after crying we move on with left because it's tough. We cry and we move on to the, to the end of the year to try and give it another shot. But at least after learning, whatever made the previous one to break up, whatever brought the break up, at least it was lesson to the next relationship. That's when we get to this challenge, you know how to handle it now. So my unfinished matter is, but personally, I am a cry baby. So maybe as long as my stomach is full, I'm okay. And then, okay, on a like a serious note, I heal. Onto our next question. What do you consider as cheating in a relationship? Let me know what you think. Maybe texting girls. Okay, it's, it actually starts with your thoughts and then it becomes an action. So when you start texting random girls or like deeming them, that's actually cheating to me. Yeah. Cheating. If your partner is doing something intimate with someone else, that's cheating. Okay, I have a boyfriend. I have a girlfriend. If you go around kissing other dudes or sleeping with other dudes, that's cheating. But then if you do other stuff like getting too intimate with them, not necessarily doing anything, that's disrespect. So cheating still, yeah. Communication. Obviously the physical things. Also some forms of emotional cheating such as I don't know, like if you're giving someone, if it's a boy and you're giving another girl the girlfriend treatment, that's cheating. And obviously I've mentioned the physical stuff. That's obvious. Yeah. So I feel like emotional cheating and physical cheating, emotional cheating, like you talk to them all the time and instead of telling your significant other, that's some form of cheating, in my opinion. Cheating starts from flirting. As long as I see you, I'm working with you and you're looking at someone, that's cheating. When you're flirting, you're making, you're doing things that you usually do with me, but that's cheating. But maybe I think flirting is cheating. Yeah. Cheating. Cheating is very easy. If you're with a partner, there are other, there are certain limitations to what you should be doing with other people out there, which includes intimate, intimate actions with other people, which again, kissing, maybe of course, having sex with other people, that's considered cheating. But other things like maybe communicating, maybe talking to colleagues or such things, that cannot be considered cheating. So in my take, cheating is obviously getting intimate with another person who is not your partner. It's nice but it's difficult because we're all humans, we're all mystics, so it's nice, but it's not the right person to take control of. I consider cheating.  Well, I consider cheating as, well, flirting can be cheating, going to dates with the person of the opposite gender is cheating. So simply doing anything with the person of the opposite gender who may seem interested in you, I would consider that as cheating. Well, if your boyfriend or girlfriend disapproves of it, then it's definitely cheating. In what aspect? Emotionally feels intimately zote. First of all, if you're going to confront another person, not me, you're cheating on me. If you're going through something, just come and tell me. I value that a lot. Of course, physically, if you're going to sleep with another person, not does that even mean you're a cheater, a zero cheater, should be convicted and jailed. Personally, I feel like if you're doing anything behind my back, that is cheating. I don't mind if you go out with other girls and go on dates and stuff. If I don't know about it, that is definitely cheating. We have come to the end of this show. Thank you for watching. See you next time.


Hi, my name is Lorie Alexander and feminism's goal was to make women want to be men. That's the whole story of feminism. My definition for feminism is a complete rebellion against God's will for women. It has caused women to want to do the man's role, going to college, getting a career, having a paycheck. Feminist leaders convinced women that this was where they would find satisfaction and fulfillment. That being home, being married was oppressive and being home with children raising your own children was bondage. And they've done a great job at doing that because this generation coming up isn't getting married and they're not having children. When I went to college there were seven of us and we went to college because we all wanted to just be wives and mothers and have children and be home full-time with them and all of us have done that. And it's been wonderful. We've all had trials and tribulations in our life and suffering as everybody. But we're all still married to the man of our youth and we've had many joys being women, being feminine women and doing the role that God has called us to do. I went to a large junior high school, public high school, and junior high. And in junior high we had home ec. It was for the girls only. The guys had auto shop. They liked to tinker with the cars. There was a definite distinction between men and women and what they were being trying to do back then. And so in junior high I learned to sew. And then in high school we all, the girls had home ec while the guys had auto shop. And I learned to cook in high school. So it was, even in the late 70s it was still preparing women to have feminine roles. I sewed my little daughters or Christmas dresses and other things. I sewed their Halloween costumes. And I always knew cooking was my job in the home and cleaning and keeping it clean and tidy. Of course I did get that feminist. I had friends whispering my ear, doesn't, can't help you do this at home. Doesn't he do that? You know, he's working full-time. And I listened to them unfortunately because my mom never, ever, ever complained about my dad not helping, you know, change the diapers, baths, raising us or keeping the home clean. He worked really, really hard and she appreciated him for that. And she just understood her role. They did back then as keepers at home. But today's women want equality. And that's what they were taught to fight for equality. And what has equality gotten us? It's caused a destruction of the family and marriage in their fight for equality to become like men. That's all it means. And even men are becoming like women, I guess, you know. But they wanted the same things that men were going after, which is so, so twisted. Because a man's need to provide was God's call on men's life. And it was after the fall that they were going to have to toil in the soil.  And they call being at home bondage. It's also such deception women, such deception. We are the weaker vessel. We are created to be at home. We're created to bear children and raise those children by ourselves. Those children need and want their mothers at home full time with them. This is how you raise emotionally secure and stable children by being home full time with them, loving them, caring for them, training them, teaching them, disciplining them. This is a full time job along with being a help me to your husband and a homemaker doing all the things that it takes to run a home. And these are all good. These are the feminine roles that God has given to us as women. He loves women. This nation needs more women who are feminine and love their roles that God has given them who are raising Godly offspring. Don't fear what's going on in our culture. I remember when my sister was pregnant with her third. She was so nervous about bringing another baby into the world because we were just about ready to go into desert storm. And there's always been scary periods in life. And we might be in the end times, but as long as... And I think the end time started after Jesus died. Life's always been hard, but I'm even in the Old Testament. But as long as God gives you babies, he wants you to have babies. He will close up your wounds if he no longer wants you to have babies. But he or the government's going to do that, which seems like they're trying to do. But as long as you can have babies, have babies and raise them in the nurture and the adminship of the Lord. Sure, it's hard. Sure, there's a lot of suffering and pain that goes along with it, but it's good. A lifelong marriage is hard, but it's good. My husband and I are enjoying each other so much. We've been married almost 41 years. My children have a home to come to. Their weddings, they had their mom and dad together holding hands with their arms around each other. They come to our place for Christmas and Thanksgiving. It's not dad's home or mom's home. So all of these things that God has created for us is good. Yeah, changing a million diapers, being home full time, the same monotonous routine is not easy, but neither is going to a nine to five job. I taught school for three years before I came home full time. And it was hard. I enjoyed being home so much for investing my life and my love and my energy into my children and my husband and into my home, making my home a warm, loving, nurturing place for my family, place of peace. It's a lot peaceful now that I don't argue with my husband. But anyway, women, stop being men. Stop trying to be men. Love the role that God has given you. Be a woman. Be a feminine woman. By my study guide, my biblical woman had study guide and go through that and learn God's perfect will for you because you'll dig into Scripture and you'll find what God has called you to do. And I know I beat this drum over and over again. But it needs to be beaten because women everywhere, they've been immersed in the feminist Kool-Aid. They breathe the feminist air their entire lives, even in the churches. So it's a drum that needs to be beaten over and over again.  So anyway, stop listening to the lies and listen to truth instead because God's ways are perfect. Bye-bye.

Joe Rogan, who is best known these days for being a superstar podcaster, has finally chosen a mega mansion to call home in Texas. For years, Rogan has been entertaining the idea of moving his show and family to the Lone Star estate. We'll take a look at the massive 14.4 million dollar mansion Joe and his family will be calling home in Austin, which was one of the biggest transactions in area history, as well as his long time bell canyon homes. In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Joe Rogan is a comedian, actor, martial arts expert, UFC commentator, podcaster and more, who was first known as hosting the hit reality TV series Fear Factor. Even before that, he came to the public's attention appearing in news radio. Joe notably went on to host UFC, a perfect gig for him considering his passion for martial arts and he helped popularize MMA. While these gigs established Joe as a well known media personality, it wasn't until his career renaissance or comeback that he truly became the household name he is today. Reinventing himself as one of the most popular podcasters on the internet has made Joe so successful, he recently increased his net worth to over 100 million dollars. It's been rumored that Joe makes as much as 30 million dollars a year for ad reads and YouTube advertising through his podcast. And all that may sound like a whole lot, it's nothing compared to the deal Joe signed with Spotify. He signed a record busting $100 million exclusive contract with Spotify to make this the home of the Joe Rogan experience, a deal that coincides with his move to Texas. While in Los Angeles, Joe and his long-time wife Jessica Ditzel have resided in a modern balcony mansion. And at the same time, Joe has maintained his starter home in the area too, a 2.2 million dollars spread just walking distance from the larger house.  I noticed 95% of you watching aren't subscribed so be sure to hit that subscribe button because we post a new video daily. We previously reported on the homes of Joe Rogan but only recently did the news of his mega Texas mansion come to light. Now that we got the details on the new place, it was time for an update. He's also apparently listed at least one of his balcony and homes on the market so we'll take a quick look at those two. If you like these videos, ring that bell for notifications. Follow me on Instagram to chat and as usual let me know who's house to his next in those comments down below. Now let's get into this video. Last thing a month ago, it was reported that Joe was trying to shed some of his California real estate baggage, putting one of his two bell canyon homes on the market for 3.2 million. This one was purchased way back in 2003 for just over 2.3 million according to records. Bell Canyon is located deep in the San Fernando Valley and while it's a further set LA suburb, it still has its fair share of celebrity residents. Joe's home is located alongside other largest states but stands out thanks to its roomy two-acre lot and lush landscaping, also called a secret garden. This home was originally built in 1978 and the main mansion has been completely renovated while Joe has lived here. The French countryside home appears modest from the front but inside it's far from that. 7,573 square feet with five beds and five baths, past the elaborate arch front door, the homeboats, pure white walls, beam ceilings, recessed lighting, and large picture windows. A formal dining area and den located in the home's massive great room along with a sculptural floating staircase leading upstairs. The kitchen is full of high-end European appliances, a very pricey La Corneux gas range, breakfast bar seating, and more. Joe's master suite here encompasses the entire second floor while the other family bedrooms are located on the main level. The master bedroom has its own bridge leading to a private patio and separate sitting room with granite fireplace. There's even another lounge area located next to the tub in the master bath. Strange, but it's there. Outside the grounds have shady trees and grassy lawns, plenty of places to dine and take in the valley and mountain views and a sparkling pool and spa. Other highlights of the property include a home office, a meditation atrium, a games room, and Joe's former gym, which is no surprise, decked out with photos of MMA fighters. While that home is no doubt gorgeous, Joe and his wife own another house just stones throw away in balcony, which he acquired in 2017 for $5 million. This place he reportedly spends more time in and remains his home while he's in LA. It's also remarkably different in design and much more contemporary. The open concept mega mansion features 8,720 square feet of living space with six beds, nine baths, and a whole lot of luxury amenities. As soon as you walk in the front door you can see almost the entire place, including down into the bottom floor, the dining room, out onto the patio, and into any of the multiple living spaces. It's basically one giant room separated by glass walls and a second floor, flooded with natural lights and equipped with high ceilings and white walls. Joe's master bedroom is on the bottom floor of his mansion, and like every other room in his home, the bedroom is completely open, both in terms of the indoor space and allowing for quick access to the outside, so he gets to enjoy stunning views from here too. On the second floor, you'll find a seating area leading to a dining room and a more casual living space with a fireplace and TV. To the right is Joe's kitchen, the place where he cooks up all his meat. Of course, Joe also has a fully equipped home gym, and after spending some time working out, he likes to unwind in his beautifully lit bathroom. Most recently, Joe has uprooted his family to Austin, Texas, shelling out a whopping $14.4 million in an off-market deal, one of the biggest transactions in the area's history. For that price tag, Joe scored himself a waterfront mansion located in a desirable spot along Lake Austin, a quiet neighborhood away from the busyness of downtown Austin, but not too far a drive. Some of the neighboring homes are owned by celebrities like Sandra Bullock and well-known business billionaires. Rogan's new country abode measures in at a Texas-sized 10,980 square feet with seven beds and 10 baths. While the keys were exchanged quietly and details about the mansion are vague, pictures of the home do show you what it's all about. Several years back, the main house rocked in early 2000s Mediterranean vibes that was popular in suburban homes at the time, but it's since been completely redone. You see, the previous owner, Benjamin Woods, was an architectural designer himself and gave the place a makeover, turning it into a sleeker, Texas-inspired modern farmhouse, which is a taste of the old style. The front of Joe's new property has a roomy motor court and paved path leading to the front door. Walking in, there's a double height entryway with light wood walls and an artsy chandelier overhead. The interiors of the home are sunny, modern and glam, with top of the line appliances, exotic materials, and bright pops of color. You can see this in the formal dining room, painted a shade of blue with gold fixtures and vintage-looking furniture. Nearby, there's also a lounge area with full wooden bar and a living room with full walls of windows and glass doors to the yard. There's an open layout in most of the home by the looks of it, as well as beamed ceilings and plenty of space to entertain. Not to mention, the home boasts energy-efficient metal sheeting atop the roof. The tree-lined four-acre lot sits on the reservoir controlled Lake Austin and aside from the two attached garages, there's a carriage house perfect for an RV or boat. Either way, there's plenty of room for Rogan to store his extensive car collection and some toys for the lake. The backyard is large and grassy, ideal for their family dog Marshall May Tufralik, while the recent renovation added a large saltwater pool to the property. Elsewhere, there's a solarium covered patio space to relax away from the Texas sun and a party deck. All right, so I think I'll bring this house tour to an end here. We got to take a look at Joe Rogan's homes in Bel Canyon, LA, one of which he's trying to sell, and his brand new home in Austin, Texas. After seeing that $14 million a boat he's moving his family to, what did you think? Was it worth the price tag or too steep? Personally, it looks like everything was custom-designed and well-thought-out, and the fact that it looks like a Pinterest mansion kind of justifies a price tag. Out of Joe's three homes, which was your fave? You guys can even go ahead and rate them in the comments down below. I'd also love it if you guys subscribe to my personal channel. I post a video every Sunday, and I'm trying to get to 1,000 steps. Well, thank you my latest video. He was inside, but he kept falling and horrifying the dogs as well, so he's out here for a timeout right now. Thanks for tuning in. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and let me know which celebrity houses you want to see next. I'll see you all in the next video. Bye.


Hey what's up everyone welcome to another video my name is Dylan and I'm a cycling coach at CTS and pro mountain bike racer and I just got a shipment of new bikes from Niner that I'll be building up in this video and I'll talk a little bit about how I set each one up for training versus racing and what other modifications I make to it like bar and stem combo where I try to save weight where I don't try to save weight what my gearing choices are and what power meters I use and recommend for each bike. If you're new to this channel I make weekly training topic and gear related videos like this one going over tips and tricks that I've learned in my 12 years of racing experience that have gotten me to the top of the ultra endurance mountain bike game in the US and as a cycling coach at CTS. If you want to see more training or gear related videos be sure to subscribe to this channel and hit the bell notification so you don't miss anything and if you have a training question or a question about how I set up my bike be sure to leave it in the comments section down below I do my best to get to all the questions in the comments. The three new bikes that I'll be unboxing today are the 2019 Niner Jet9 RDO which is their mid-travel trail bike, the RLT9 RDO which is their carbon gravel bike, and the RKT9 RDO which is their XC race bike. Let's go ahead and jump into the first one which is the Jet9 RDO. I made a whole review video for the Jet9 so if you want to check that out I'll leave the link for it in the description down below. The Jet9 acts as my day in day out training bike. The bike takes a ton of abuse and is put through many miles of riding so reliability and all-day comfort is key. This bike has 130 millimeters of travel up front and 120 in the rear and the reason for choosing a longer travel bike for training is because I live just outside of the Piscot National Forest where I do most of my off-road riding and it's not an XC bike friendly place.  Bro are you seeing this guy? He's about to ride far low on a rigid post and I think those are 2.0 tires. Man I think we should call the ambulance now. This is with good reason though as Piscot has some extremely rugged trails and long rocky rooty blown out descents are the norm here. This is why for my training bike I opt for something with a little bit more travel but I still take this bike on some epic pedals sometimes covering 50 to 70 miles in a single training ride so I don't want something with too much travel that'll be a dog on the climbs. This is the only bike out of the three that I'll run close to stock. It comes with Fox Factory suspension front and rear a SRAM X01 Eagle drivetrain stands flow wheels with Maxis Recon and high roller tires and a race face bar and stem combo. I even stick to the stock nine or saddle and grips which is rare for me because I usually switch the saddle to something that I've spent a ton of time on that I know is comfortable. I'll probably cut the bars to match the width of my XC bike which is 780 millimeters which is pretty wide by XC standards but I've gotten really used to the wider bars and I've come to really like them. The SDG dropper post is new to me this year so I'm eager to try it out and see how it works. If you aren't in the dropper seat post camp yet then I suggest that you get with the times because it'll change the way you ride. I even run a dropper on my XC race bike for racing but I'll get to that later in the video. The only significant modification I'll make to this bike is I'll throw my SRAM XX1 Eagle Quark power meter on there to collect power data. Here's an interesting tidbit. The crank I have is a BB-30 and the new bike comes with the SRAM dub bottom bracket and crank and it turns out that you can fit a right side BB-30 crank onto a left side dub crank and this is what I plan to do with this bike. I have to make a disclaimer though I haven't thoroughly tested this setup and I don't know if doing this will void any warranties so use caution before throwing your BB-30 power meter on your dub crank. I'll probably check back in a future video to let you guys know how the setup is working. Let's move on to the RLT9 RDO. This is Niners Carbon Gravel Bike and is the bike I raced at Dirty Conza last year amongst other endurance gravel races. For the most part though I use this bike as a road slash training rig. The majority of my intervals are done on this bike as well as hard road group rides and the occasional race. The bike comes set up with a Shimano 105 group set and a Stan's No Tubes Grail wheel set with Schwawe G1 gravel tires. On this bike I'll make quite a few modifications to set it up for me. For example the bike comes with wide flared out gravel handlebars and I'll switch this out for narrower more traditional road style handlebars along with a 100 millimeter negative 17 degree stem. This puts the bars where I like them to be on a road bike and if I do any gravel racing it puts my body in a more aerodynamic position. I'll also switch out the seat post and saddle. The saddle I run is an old specialized phenom and it looks absolutely awful at this point but it's just too comfortable to get rid of. Being that I do most of my intervals on this bike a power meter on this bike is definitely a necessity and the one I go with is the Quark D0 Aluminum. Quark is usually what I recommend when people ask me what power meter they should get. It's extremely reliable and more accurate than some of the one-sided power meters out there. Yeah it's not the cheapest option but in my opinion it's well worth the money. I actually use standard road gearing on this bike so a 53 tooth big chain ring and a 39 tooth small chain ring because I do most of my riding on this bike on the road and even in gravel races I like having the bigger chain rings. At Dirty Conza for example there were multiple times when I was either going downhill or had a tailwind when I was in that 5311 and the 53 tooth was part of what helped me win a sprint finish at the end of the race to seal a top 10 on the day. Now if you know me you know I have no business winning any sort of sprint ever unless maybe that sprint is at the end of a 200 mile gravel race and I have a 53 tooth chain ring and the guy I'm sprinting against has a 44 tooth single ring. The rear cassette is an 11 to 32 tooth and I find that this gives me plenty of range even for gravel racing. I do love my single chain ring setups on my mountain bikes but for gravel racing I really have a hard time giving up that top end gear. For tires I run the Schwabbi G1s for gravel or if I'm doing some more chunky gravel like in Pisca I have run wider like the specialized 1.8 renegades. The vast majority of the time though I just have road tires on like the 25 millimeter Conti Gator skins just because they're reliable and I never flat with them. So what modifications do I make on race day? Well by far the biggest one is the wheels. For racing I'll run a deep section carbon wheel like these Boyd Pinnacles for improved aerodynamics and weight savings. I also may switch out the pedals depending on the course. I usually run a cheap pair of Shimano road pedals for day to day training but for racing I may switch that out for something lighter like the Crank Brothers Eggbeater. The seatpost I use is also a KCNC which is quite a bit lighter than the stock seatpost. If I was more of a gravel racer I would certainly invest more into some of the other components on the bike like the bar and stem or the drivetrain or maybe get some carbon cranks to lighten it up but seeing as I only do two or three gravel races a year it's really not worth it to me to deck out my gravel bike especially since this thing is mainly a training rig and reliable parts are more important to me on this bike than lightweight ones. I almost forgot the most important modification that I make to my gravel bike on race day and that is these guys right here. Now arrow bars for gravel have been stirring up a lot of controversy and I can see why but in case you aren't aware of how much faster they are let's jump over to bikecalculator.com. Let's take the most popular gravel race in the world which is the Dirty Kansa which by the way arrow bars have won there in the men's field for the past two years and let's say that you can only actually ride in the arrow bars for a fourth of that race because the rest of the time you'll either be drafting or climbing or descending and you'll need your hands in either the drops or the hoods. So that's 50 miles and according to a quick calculation on bikecalculator.com that would save you 22 minutes. This is not an insignificant amount of time at all. At a race like Dirty Kansa 20 minutes could be 20 places or more. Now obviously these are super rough calculations but the point is we're talking about tens of minutes here. Dude what are those things on your bars man? You totally botched your bike. I didn't know we were about to race triathlon. You plan on going sockless as well? Yeah arrow bars may not look cool but you want to know what's cooler than looking cool? Going faster period. I plan on making a whole video to crush this notion that arrow bars are somehow uncool for gravel and mountain bike racing so stay tuned for that. The arrow bars that I use are just some cheap no-name carbon ones but they've actually worked really well and they're surprisingly light at around 300 grams. I'll leave the link for those in the description below if you want to try them out. And finally we have the Niner RKT9 RDO. This bike is my main race bike and as such I probably spend the least amount of time on it. I use it for racing obviously and then race specific training days like intervals on trails or race starts and that's it. The majority of the time when I'm headed out the door for a mountain bike ride I'll take the Jet 9. That being said I do set this bike up differently for training and racing. The bike comes with a 120 millimeter Fox 34 step cast and I run this in training but for the majority of races I'll run the lighter Fox 32 step cast. There are exceptions to this however like when I'm racing in Piska I'll stick with the 34. I run a KS Lev dropper post all the time even in racing. On rare occasions I'll run a straight post but that's not typical at all. For training I stick with the stock stance arch aluminum wheels but for racing I'll switch this out for a carbon wheel set like the stance crest CV7s. I try to train and race on the same tires on this bike so that I'm used to them for race day. That's usually some sort of maxis tire like the recon race or the icon or the aspen. This is one area where I do not try to save weight. I always go with tires that have sidewall protection regardless of the course especially since the races that I do are really long and a lot can go wrong in 50 to 100 miles. Saving 50 grams in your tires won't be faster when you're stuck on the side of the trail putting a tube in. For pedals I run a cheap pair of Shimano's for training and then for racing I'll switch that out to either a pair of Shimano XTRs or if I'm trying to be a real weight weenie Crank Brothers Eggbeater 11s. Having a power meter on this bike is a must. Using a power meter for ultra endurance racing is super helpful for pacing yourself on climbs and it can let you know when things are about to go horribly wrong from a blowing up or a bonking standpoint. I go with the same power meter I mentioned earlier, the Quirk XX1 Eagle. In fact I swapped the same crank between the Jet and the RKT. I usually run a 34 tooth chainring with a 10 to 50 tooth Eagle cassette in the back. The bars and stem are the Niner Carbon RDO with 100 millimeter stem length and 780 millimeter bar width. The weight of the bike can vary a lot depending on how I have it built up but if I go full weight weenie mode in its lightest configuration it can be just under 22 pounds and then in full training mode it's around 26 pounds.
