What’s the trickest/coolest part of your bike? Raymon: The guy on it, lol...
What part of the bike do you like the most? Raymon: I like the whole bike. Nice fresh frame design and the BOX parts look awesome, especially the Delta stem with the Maximus handlebar.
How long did it take you to get used to your new bike? Raymon: This MEYBO frame is about the same like I used to, but the BOX Maximus handlebar is more straight, so that would be the biggest change for me. It took me about 4 days to get used to...
Do you have a team mechanic who works on your bike? Raymon: Yes, Willie Meijer is our team mechanic for 7 years.
Do you ever change gears any longer? Raymon: Just for training, not for racing.
What part do you replace most often during the season? Raymon: Chain, chainring, cog, brake cable.
