Ride ten hours a day and eat all you want. You won't gain one ounce

@ H man. Hell yeah!!

Haha, I feel ya, brother! 🍺😅

What tires and Tubes where you using before ? How often you have to pump the tires ?

Tubeless are faster

Plus its good therapy to clean your bike.

unfortunately drops are often less aero than hoods + well places forearms.

Why is that Alex?

The highest drag position was the classic upright riding position with your hands on the hoods, which required 430 watts to overcome air resistance. Lowering into the drops with straight arms saved a bit of energy, requiring 417 watts. Going even lower in the drops by bending the elbows and hunkering down saved more energy still, requiring 385 watts. But the most aerodynamically efficient posture was actually hands on hoods, arms bent with forearms parallel to the ground. In that position, the rider needed to produce 372 watts, a 13.4 percent reduction from the first hands-on-hoods posture. For a rider churning out 300 watts on a 40K (25 mile) time trial course, that simple adjustment of posture (bending the elbows and lowering the torso) could shave off nearly three minutes from start to finish. www.bicycling.com/skills-tips/a22107504/aerodynamic-definition-in-cycling/

@@teoheugene My speed always goes up in the drops.

... lose* weight, any "loose" weight might prevent you from going a straight line.

This video is intend to make your spend more on $$$.

I like to start with higher inflated tires, and then adjust the pressure as I go. So I don't really know the exact pressure, but also don't really have to.

40mm damnnn, how do u even handle it 😆

@@kkaarrllooss01 😂

40 mm is narrower than any stem. Guess you mean cm.

​@@kkaarrllooss01 he has a micro bar

Spoken like a true Kool Aid drinker.

You are right.

random video editors that have no idea can just splice in a clip of you crossing the line first. tres faster.

It doesn't

You get lighter wallet

Lighter wallet and easier Turing so easier cornering

@@oskarilaurila glad i wasnt the only one who noticed that, pretty sad lol

LmaoO

@45 fottuto stronzo Choice of tyre is rather personal relative due to the feeling on real road, you may switch to whatever brand you want. For me turbo cotton is better, preferable even.

I have the Alpecin Fenix jersey that Mathieu wears, it did not make me faster 😔. But it does make me look pro.

You forgot aero belly

Skin suit beats wheels.. I think not sir

@@Cnoone2010 Proper skin suit brings you a massive aero advantage, and way cheaper than a pair of wheel.

@@milescrowe2162 does a skin suit trump all of them including wheels? No. Price is irrelevant here

@@Cnoone2010 Man... you really underestimated what skin suit could bring you. Even helmets give you more aero advantage than wheels.

@@milescrowe2162 oh no I don't dispute that at all but to say one trumps the whole list of 9 including wheels? I don't think so. Plus, the clip is in relation to Bike upgrades. A skinsuit isn't a bike upgrade, it's a wardrobe upgrade. Unless sticking one onto a frame somehow helps!!

15? Try 2.

@O'Neil Williams Sorry, that was sarcasm. The fact that a seal on a bottom bracket creates resistance is no difference than your worn out bearings creating resistance. Resistance is resistance.

Topic called Easy upgrade ;)

Minimum 3 kph average speed over any given distance by my own experience.

Go with Swalbe extra light inner tubes.

@@markprinsen7257 noted!

@@markprinsen7257 those are slower than latex

@@laury21 marginally, but they are a lot more durable, hold pressure and are cheaper :)

@@markprinsen7257 it’s actually quite big, 7,5 watts at 45kmh. Aerocoach did testing. True about pressure, cost is very similar, i buy vittoria latex tubes for 10€ each. The schwalbe is still butyl material, just lighter than regular.

That’s not how it works. Latex is more supple, therefore faster. Nothing baby powder can change😊 also latex is less prone to pinch flats. Havent had a flat in 3-4k km

I don’t think it is the interface between tyre and tube, but rather the internal hysteresis of latex vs butyl. This is the energy lost to friction _internal_ to the material.

@@bjma654651651 How much actual real world difference? I question many 'upgrades' as they seem likely to be such a small improvement. Until today I actually had never heard of latex tubes. Of course I am not a racer just an enthusiast, still like to be somewhat knowledgeable. - Cheers

@@joeshmoe7967 Latex tubes made a noticeable difference for me. I read it’s about 5 watts per wheel. Each latex tube is about £12. One of the biggest bang for buck upgrades for a road bike. Downside is you need to pump your tyres before every ride.

Better your brakes, the less you need to pull on them to slow down. So you spend more time putting power into the bike.

@@henryhuber1050 After checking with my friend Google, I found that better brakes have less tendency to slow you down because they never touch anything if they are not actuated by the rider. It make sens now.

Well, You bike per se won't be faster. But Your riding might be - as with better brakes You can brake harder and later, saving speed.

i will look into this..good idea thanks!

I pass cars on some steep down hills. Not in shape enough to compete on flats, but I do try to push. I can't stay with the serious rider (you know by the bike/kit) but when they pass I do kick it in and stay with them for a km or two. Adds some intensity to my riding. - Cheers

I am nothing better then passing traffic and watching them stare in confusion

Hey, here the traffic is so intense, cars slow me down - and I don't even have to make an effort.

If you’re not checking daily, you’re likely not at optimal pressure. I don’t get the 60 sec argument against checking tires daily. And most of us scrawny cyclists could use the tricep exercise.

@@jimw2542 I'm on latex tubes now.. checking and pumping tires everyday. Worth it 😀👍

@@user-cx2bk6pm2f just got back from my first ride and noticed the suppleness immediately. 💪🥳

That will make the bike 20% faster in case of an unfaired recumbent.

Yes, I have successfully used self adhesive patches.

Yeap patch then with cement and an old latex tube.

@45 fottuto stronzo That's not actually correct they are 5-5 w faster .It is only a suggestion that they are up to 5.5 faster with certain tires not all .It depends on tire compounds .I have used latex tube and they do offer a better rolling resistance with some tires. Continental 250gm sprinter use latex tubes in there tubulars and they are very fast . They are 11 barr..Bicycling Australia in the 90s wrote a piece on the heat of a wheel and the research on what a tire and tube do when ridden .The tube twists around quiet a bit when ridden. There conclusion was that the actual heart of the wheel is the tube Cheap tubes cheap ride .We know now that the biggest issue is friction and ground coverage when ridden .We knew this in the 70s none of this is new .The selection of tires didn't exist then ..It is still marginal .

@45 fottuto stronzo Marginal is also an after market part that is not origin to the bike ..

... You're* talking about. And you do not put spaces before a fullstop or comma,* only after.*

@@einundsiebenziger5488 Wow there is always a wank#r that's a grammar police. Well done!

Braking fast means you remain speed longer. Not hard to tell.

@@milescrowe2162 I don’t need to brake quickly to be able to hold speed. Work on bike handling skills and maybe you can hold speed without having to touch the brakes.

@@lookpro.rideslow Then may the goddess Fortuna be with you , avoiding those variations in road conditions on streets or descending. #LOVE&PEACE.

@@milescrowe2162 lol be safe

😬😅

On your body or on your bike?

Quite a bit silly in fact. Statement: "X could increase your speed". Yes. Also, eating a pie COULD increase your speed. Unlikely but possible. Either make definitive/absolute statements or don't bother... Sorry, got out of bed the wrong side this morning

Latex is faster than tubolito

@@laury21 I don't know about you, but I like air in my tires. Also Tubolito tubes are more resistant to flats. As for faster? prove it?
