What is it exactly that we are meant to look at?

From the link

"Last weekend, we travelled north of Amsterdam to visit steel touring bike maker Vittorio Bicycles and their annual bike touring fair.

Hereâ€™s a short video with the highlights of the day, including a look at the new Marathon Mondial touring tires, the favourite things that bike tourists Saskia & Jan-Willem take on tour and an amazing bike built for an expedition over a frozen river in Russia!"

Yes, I watched the video - there didn't seem to be anything remarkable in it, so I wondered if Andrew intended to draw attention to a specific item.

In the last segment ... the guy seems to be running a double rim or two tyres. Haven't seen that before. Oh, and the odd things people use.

A double set of rims, laced together, used to be standard kit for snow riding in events in Canada or Alaska - particularly the Iditabike. Then along came the Pugsley and the 3.5" Endomorph tyres
