    Happy to see Steve here in Portugal!
    I know there are great bike parts factories here in Portugal, Sram chains are made in Portugal for example.

    This was a very interesting video! Nice to get a picture how parts are made! I liked this a lot!

    Very important S on cranks, very different to how Crank is made 😂 breaking bad reference.

    Love how you guys made sure the "NO PHOTO NO VIDEO" sign was in the shot. 💀

    The worst cranks ever made like toffee finish is terrible engineering terrible threads terrible 😢

    Nice Steve, now to the smelters to see what aluminium grades the big boys specify for thier crank arms. 😄

    I love this, I’m a craftsman and to be able to see what the men and women have to do just to make a small part of my bike is fascinating.
    Next stop Taiwan?

    Hope you followed Charlies honesty and returned the everlasting gobbstopper. Neat factory. So when someone says " I don’t like Miranda cranks" chances are very high they made the cranks on your bike. haha

    This video was a pretty reasonable balance of tech information and marketing. I’m guessing the marketing was one of conditions of being allowed to record video after passing through a door that said NO VIDEO (in English!). Please make more like this. Edit: No.
