What are your top money saving cycling tips? 💸🚴
Comment from : @gcn

While I love GCN, I found it funny how the first thing to save money was to buy a bike
Comment from : @AllThingsSportsMikeMcIntyre

Best advice I’ve ever received: BUY ONCE, CRY ONCE This means get what you want (within reason) the first time You won’t have to upgrade if you spend a little more the first time
Comment from : @robburton3255

Doing your own mechanical work can also save you tons of money The amount of people I see bringing their bike to the lbs to repair simple things like gear cable adjustments or even punctures is mind blowing
Comment from : @matt_m126

Conor are your kits custom made? I’m almost as tall and can’t find race cut jerseys to fit
Comment from : @MikeMassey-fi5of

Buy more bikes to spread out wear and tear
Comment from : @bagofchips55

The 'do it all'-bike that replaces two bikes tends to cost about the same as three bikes
Comment from : @jonpetterbergman

buy your gear at Decathlon they have quality stuff and cheap
Comment from : @rokibuca

Cycling is as cheap or expensive as you make it I commute on an old claud butler hybrid I bought from a local auction for £26, in a £15 jersey and £10 shorts It’s been perfect, everything works and it even had new mtb stem and handlebars, as well as a pair of new schwalbe marathon plus tyres Had a fantastic ride both ways today

Just upgraded from a trek fx2 to a giant contend ar1 i love it
Comment from : @alfonsorodriguez9055

GCN and money saving don't belong in the same sentence

Conor should have been a basketball player!

Comment from : @nemure

How about a video on how to construct a winter ready wardrobe of clothing, how to layer, etc?
Comment from : @TheMrHardpunk

I would suggest learning how you maintain/repair your bikebr- change the inner tube/tires by yourselfbr- check and pump up to the correct pressure before the ridebr- prepare spare inner tubes and a mini pump for your adventure br- learn to replace cablesbr- listen to your bike when riding Strange, new sounds spell troublebrThere are constant sales for everything, from parts, accessories, clothing, and even helmets and shoes brI built my bike myself, learning and saving big on my way! brbrbrbrbr-
Comment from : @gerhardw933

„positioning is key“ Buy at the right time At the end of the season you can get things like helmets a LOT cheaper
Comment from : @chrisridesbicycles

GCN’s first tip for saving money? Buy a new bike 🤦‍♂️
Comment from : @MrSJR39

Here in the States, old bikes can be had for pennies on the dollar and are often barely used As a side benefit replacement components may be cheaper as well as long as they're not so out-of-date as to have fallen out of stock
Comment from : @BixbyConsequence

Tip 10: Rim Brakes :D
Comment from : @benjaminmuller5261

Yeah invest in a TSB personal account, try running a yts scheme/study hard get a descent job, stop complaining, start doing and have less worries Leave the £10k Treks to old men and people with no children or investment bankers
Comment from : @woodee8948

A great topic and tips GCN 😊 🇵🇭
Comment from : @user-ns2lw8ne6x

Great tips! Thanks
Comment from : @kristofferohrn

Ebay and clearance stock My fast bike is built entirely on ebay gambits and stock that was getting cleared out The result is a Tarmac S-Works SL5 running Ultegra 6800 and deep section wheels for just under £2k
Comment from : @thelonesculler

Re buying an all-rounder bike that can take wider tyres - also check the maximum width it can take with mudguards Mine can take 32mm without but only 25mm with, which is a bit annoying in winter
Comment from : @Under_Ice

i need a helmet that holds my sunglasses like manon! so cool i’m inspired
Comment from : @cameronyny

Buy used Especially if you are handy A quality bike several yrs old and collecting dust can be had for half the price or less Spend a bit of time getting it lubed up and some fresh tires and you are way ahead of the game Unless you are an age group winner with a stopwatch, you won't notice the performance difference brAlso upgrading wheels and tires on a quality used bike gains a big performance jump An upgraded frame only saves you a pound or two Again normal people won't notice the weight, especially if you have a few to lose yourself 8-) brPS Did a tri last weekend and racked up next to a 50 ish guy with a 15 yr old Ridley, no upgrades He won his age group Quality used bikes still perform on high levels You can save money for coaching
Comment from : @PapaPaul723

I just give my bike to my LBS and tell the owner: Do whatever is necessary!
Comment from : @cyclingxventures

Thanks GCN with Manon and Conor for the great and informative video/advice! I’ll have my first ever solo bikepacking for our long-week holiday next week and hoping it will be a fun and enjoyable experience for me!brbrThanks Conor and Manon for mentioning the bikepacking, maintenance, nutrition and training to properly prepare for my next cycling/bike adventure! 💖
Comment from : @MatthewMabborang

How to save money on cycling brbrbr buy buying all these things!brbrlol
Comment from : @junkandcrapamen

Love this video! Thanks Mates!
Comment from : @francesstager997

Don't be cheap and buy the best bike that fits you best and you can afford the first time around Bikes depreciate fast Upgrading components individually at a later time will cost way more than buying a good complete bike from the get go Buy stuff off-season when on sale End of August is when new model bikes are announced and old ones go on sale Better yet buy barely used bikes I scored a $10K 22lbs full carbon XTR MTB Santa Cruz with reserve wheels for $4K Buy extra tires, tubes, chain, cassette, pads any other wear&tear items on sale Be one step behind the latest 12 spd 13 spd etc That 10 or 11spd on sale does the same job and maor disount and shifts better Just scored some new MTB shoes 50 off and looking to buy spare tires and chains for next season
Comment from : @tekink8143

check your brake and shift cables too Particularly the rear derailleur cable They get frayed, or break, you could be calling for a ride home
Comment from : @CarlForde

Or go Walking it's very cheap and relaxing
Comment from : @mb10kx

Manon 👶🏻?
Comment from : @samteenoise

Tip number 1: Sell you bike and get into running
Comment from : @wohololao

Ebay? Just know what your looking for
Comment from : @reecedawson6113

IT'S SIMPLE: Buy used, don't buy cycling specific nutrition, don't buy cycling specific clothing, don't pay to race(or pay the winner), don't take airplanes and use hotels to go on "epic" rides If you want to not spend money but want the same experience as someone who does you should get real, some people actually work and sacrifice for what they have not just tack it on top like you think
Comment from : @willjones7132

Only one of these tips really make sense: Take care of your chain Failure to do this can be quite expensive A new chain costs anout USD 50, a new cassette about USD 150 You don't need to wax your chain, but you need to keep it clean and lubed Replace when worn (and you don't need a 50 USD chain checker, a 99 cent wooden or steel, one foot ruler will do) Keeping up on chain maintenance will save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars, Euros, or Pounds Also, keep up on the other side, brakes will save money too
Comment from : @jamesmckenzie3532

One way to save money, is instead of paying through the nose to enter Grand Fondos, find clubs that put on old fashioned "Century" rides In the US, Fondos cost over $100, while "Century" rides cost $25 to $30 (Not sure if they still have them in the UK) Both supply food and water rest stops, but Century rides are not Timed "events" (You "time" yourself)brAnother way to "save" money, is to buy used gear from people you know
Comment from : @billkallas1762

Had a guy in the LBS try and sell me a set of the new GP5000 AS tires when I was replacing my tires last week And I was like I think I’ll stick with the older GP 4 seasons tire and save the extra 60 quid
Comment from : @ndennan67

Clean and lubed chain, a good chain wear indicator (not parktool) change it as it starts to stretch I get 3-4 chains per cassette
Comment from : @larryob976

Well, in the case of chain I found out that financially its better for me to change chain with a cassette at the same time once a year Like really I ride 7-8 000 km per year on my trek bike last 3 years and in the meantime I should change my chain at least 4, better 5 times per year But If I sum the price of these 5 chains, it actually cost more than just one chain and one cassette :D So I am changing these just once per year and I have no problem what so ever (financially and not even mechanical- technical problems) Although my chain is quite stretched after these months and thousands of kilometres of riding, chain haven´t been dropping or snapping for 2 years, So I have not problem with that :)
Comment from : @jirinavratil6232

Buy a 2nd hand rim brake bike!
Comment from : @montrose252

don't buy anything of the constantly promoted products on gcn
Comment from : @benx7446

Honestly, how could they overlook buying used? The market is flooded with good and well priced 2nd hand bikes
Comment from : @vongdong10

Top tips from all different aspects of cycling to consider I’d say I do most of these when I can :)
Comment from : @goodcompanycoffee

Another money saving tip; save your ride food for during the ride, Connor!
Comment from : @matt_acton-varian

Own nutrition - that is a HUGE money saver Even Fig Newtons, or supermarket brand breakfast carb/sugar bars are huge money savers compared to "made for the bike"
Comment from : @graemejwsmith

Connor, I am 204 m , 135kilos…what is a good budget model for big guys?
Comment from : @davidroberts6766

Definitely agree with, winter kit in summer sales, summer kit in the winter Great video, homemade food a la Conor looked tasty, shame about those with the green eyed monster, if you can afford a fancy pants bike and you have a good job, buy the fancy pants bike, if your friend turned up on a Pinarello would you stop cycling with them and ignore any of their advice? Lovely to have Manon back with us 🤩🤩
Comment from : @238949

I like cycling❤
Comment from : @playchess24

I absolutely love how you guys are supporting bikepacking
Comment from : @KiranMachiraju

Highly recommend buying a bike secondhand New bikes are ridiculously expensive and not superior to older models IMO
Comment from : @rachelvasquez7826

I think a major way to save lots of money in the long run is to become your own bike mechanic If you can fix anything and everything on your bike, you will never need to pay another person for it Tools are expensive, yes But a surprising amount of maintenance can be performed with a set of hex keys and maybe some torx bits And those obviously have applications beyond just bicycle maintenance Plus, many of the more specific tools cost as much as paying a bike shop to use them once or maybe twicebrbrObviously I don't think bike mechanics shouldn't ever have customers but often doing things yourself will save astronomical amounts of money It's like cooking You should really do it yourself most of the time Relatively few can afford to eat out every day
Comment from : @zeemon9623

This seems to have been made for professional cyclists that are competing full-timebrFor the rest of the world, buy used and do all of your own maintenancebrBuy one quality set of bibs Don't bring food
Comment from : @marklanders630

Tip No1: get sponsored!
Comment from : @pata_rick

moneysaving tips when you have a pinarello LMAO
Comment from : @cdcdcd6777

Very useful thank you Having had a couple of bike services that cost more (double) than a car service we have learned to check the chain, so much cheaper than a new cassette 😅
Comment from : @knitrundig4663

I'm just glad I'm not paying Conor's food bill, cos he never seems to stop eating 🤣
Comment from : @cruachan1191

the best way to save money from cycling stuff is throw away all Shopping apps in your phone that work for me, to many blink blink stuff if i keep seeing that thing, big chance i will gonna say yolo and buy it at the end you will have trouble when the item arrive in front your door and you not in home somebody receive it and the queen will start singing praises for you at home
Comment from : @endtimeslips4660

Never buy topper end groupset (components) Rival/105 is enough an saves a lot of money in long term
Comment from : @bababaanarama

Best advicedo not fall for the marketing shills who push "gravel cycles" just because someone "lends" them their top tier extravagantly priced cycle for their YouTube videos
Comment from : @main_stream_media_is_dead

Save by getting a "bikefit" at 300 £ ?? Or measure up a bike you know and feel comfortable with and transfer the measurements to a new bike? And maybe find a dealer with demo saddles to find a new/better onebrHow did people ever get out riding, before the bikefitting business was invented ?
Comment from : @PoulHansenDK

Get a good career Nothing makes most mainstream sport look budget like A good 6-7 figure annual income
Comment from : @slowcyclist4324

Top Tip: Don't listen to Ollie or Alex!

Comment from : @abhimawa1

Good advice and she good(lovely/sassy)
Comment from : @anttijumppainen9213

Buy from China! Yoeleo, Winspace, Elite Wheels, Panda Podium, Ali Express(sometimes a roll of the dice) Learn how to tune up your own bike Don't penny pinch on cycling clothes, especially shoes
Comment from : @donwinston

Like how Conner has to check his snacks prior to the ride Happens in my house all the time Have to have quality control you know!!! Bike on the trainer and some Bike Around the Word videos Another great video Take care, Al
Comment from : @PumpkinVillage

Save 60 to 70 if you Buy a good hot (stolen) bicycle in a country next to you and bring it home

Manon 😊 Thanks for the tips Conor and Manon
Comment from : @fwod1867

ВЕЛОСИПЕДЫ ЭТО ДОРОГО🤑🙄
Comment from : @sanaez

There are important things that cannot be neglected, such as transmissions, brakes, and tires, as you mentioned, but there are things that can be dispensed with, such as the search for speed or maximum comfort
Comment from : @husseinkhazbak

Alway LOVE the Celtic duo's bike tips
Comment from : @bubblesezblonde

Buy your winter kit in summer and vice virsa, it's usually heavily discounted
Comment from : @russellspeight5175

Something I learned early on: buy cheap, buy twice If you really want to upgrade to something of better quality but is more expensive, just save the money until you are able to buy it Don't be tempted to buy something cheaper and use it for the meantime It won't be as fun, and it will cost you more Also, don't buy something with the assumption that you will be able to sell it later on
Comment from : @babbleboyquito

Cook with Conor 👍😁
Comment from : @leedorney

I love all the GCN presenters! They seem like such a great group of people! Have a great day all!
Comment from : @stevet2711

Welcome back, Manon, we've missed you!
Comment from : @rogersimmons8788

Tell the exact cost of all your expenses to your wife After that your expenses will be greatly reduced like magic You can thank me later (Flies away)
Comment from : @UcanTospa

I like how Manon sits on top of a Pinerallo to talk about cycling on a budget
Comment from : @AutoCAD681

Best saving tip learned on this channel: buy an eurobike 😂
Comment from : @rostff

No for brakepads on budget when you are a heavy guy like me!! I only use performance pads to get the most stoping power out of them
Comment from : @Guenther-Eichinger

I'm happy with the Silca Synergetic A bit expensive, still worth it
Comment from : @dalis994

Use sugar instead of expensive drink mix
Comment from : @wilsonrobb10

Learn how to do your own repairs, patch your tubes, build your own wheels Buy tech that's a few generations older such as nine speed or 10 speed Fitness Trumps upgrades
Comment from : @m4yd0g

Keep your bike as clean as possible It can be a hassle to have to get into the habit of cleaning it after every ride but it'll help you save the pennies in the long run
Comment from : @TheHaitian

Spend on bibs, scrimp on jerseys
Comment from : @whatwelearned

A bit hypocritical of my experience, but I'm sure I'm not the worst - Trust what you have and use it to the utmost, instead of thinking that you need an expensive "marginal gain" piece of kit to improve your riding, and pinning all hope for a better experience only on the next parcel in the mailbrbrBling may not obviously be a primary motivation, but with the amount of cycle gear packaging I've gone through, it's still subconsciously, insidiously there
Comment from : @miroslawkobus1491

With the cost of living really starting to bite, this type of content is so useful I will check out the training vids for sure Thanks
