It’s stiff AND compliant too!

It's bombproof!

@@amf1990 There is a compliancy to the stiffness of the NERO Show!

THE #1 cycling podcast. THE only cycling podcast that holds your attention, just begs to be watched at 1x speed and has the kind of controversy you can HEAR!

❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks guys. Super pumped for what we can get to you over the next 10 days.

The main failing of stack and reach is that they only refer to what is happening in front of the bottom bracket,'. 'If two frames have the same measured reach but one has a slacker seat tube angle [putting the seat further back], that creates additional reach, which isn't taken into account.

Rim for road, disc for dirt.

Absolutely, bike insights is amazing, although I do wish they let you compare more than 2 bikes at the same time

Helped me choose my new ride!

I like velogicfit because you can enter stem length and angle plus height of spacers and it will tell you where the bars end up. Great for seeing what stem/spacer combo you'll need on a new frame to match your current bike.

@@thrawedyou can add more than two bikes to compare…

@@taxi9554I believe you - I certainly don’t know how to do it though. Lol

Thanks man!

I find it annoying that Jimmy seems to read everything from a script, at least it sounds like that

@@jonasha8712 Its due to his size, he is only small 😂😂😂😂😂😂

… that guy is the Spielberg of cycling content ❤

I like this philosophy. For 100 meters, I can be within eyeshot of Lachlan Morton's wheel.

😂

Nor do they state how many spacers the bike will come with, some it’s 30mm others it’s 40mm etc

Yup, you’d be looking for “fit stack” instead of “frame stack”, specialized lists fit stack on most of their upper end frames but a lot of brands only list frame stack.

Gravel descending is a skill, just like road descending. More practice, more confidence, less tense, faster times. Hard to jump on a gravel bike once a month and stay with guys riding gravel all the time. A bit like the guys that mostly ride Zwift. They have the watts, but need outside practice to tune in the handling skills.

Thanks 👍

Working on stepping up the production when we get back from EB. Thanks for the advice mate

Well they are very fast

Agree, I actually like their kit for the price. Own multiple of their bibs and jerseys which I use for regular solo or muddy rides, then save the few premium items I own for bigger group rides or events

Excellent observation!

Looks like they've moved to S,M,L,XL sizing rather than going up in 2 cm top tube increments

One of my friends has been a bike mechanic for years and owns his own shop now. I asked him a couple of years ago what he thought the best frame was and he immediately said "BMC". He didn't even sell them but he had built a few, and said that their fit and finish and precision were top notch, just made them easy to build and easy to service in comparison to most others. I'm sure they're over-priced anyway, but so is everything.

It's only this year that BMC didn't sponsor WT team, they only sponsored Tudor Pro Team. They're likely going to be back on WT in the future.

Add Tim Gajser as well

Gonna be a Portuguese win at the end of the day 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I have just built a gravel bike with 54mm tires last week. Do it, I'm blown away with how well it rides

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I love this. Maybe that will be on the next Coros firmware update

Peak torque speaks a lot about this

Yup, internal & External width......so many stock wheels & aftermarket (surprisingly) are narrow external which works against aero benefits of wider tires

​@mysho6317 usually people riding on stock rims ain't even paying attention or probably care at that point. One of the reasons I always build up frames so i can put on wheels n components I actually want and optimize how I want to ride

If it’s way out to the point your saddle can’t go forward far enough, maybe. But you set your saddle offset vs the BB, so reach should not vary at all.

Leave that with me

The 'rule of 105%' is not a strict rule. It is definitely the optimal aero setup, and at 45kmh average speeds it is important for pro riders. Silca and Dylan went to the wind tunnel before Unbound 2024, and an extra 5mm of tyre width only costs 2W at 32kmh. For many riders, who dont average 32kmh, the small aero penalty is worth paying for the improved cornering and descending grip, and the confidence it provides.

The gong ride though is on still open roads with a lane closed, I wonder if the charity aspect of that ride has a bearing on the police' decision? The Snowy classic is on fully closed roads (rolling closures) so maybe it's the case of enough residents not being able to get out of their driveways for a large part of the day objecting? It would be great to know what aspect of the organising has driven up costs so much as to make it unviable to continue, my guess would be insurance (like everything else these days). Regardless, it's sad to see another fondo killed off, especially what seemed like such a successful one, albeit nowhere near the numbers of the Bowral classic. 😢

@@paulhooper9278 interesting to know, ive not ridden it sorry; a closed lane that is carefully controlled is probably an acceptable compromise but it's not without risk. Resident complaints im sure would be a factor, it was from my experience something that even proactively managed someone ends up complaining they were late to something or whatever. As it was put to us at the time approx, the moment someone gets hit by a car on such a ride is a huge problem and that the police effectively would not sign off on that risk because it's basically impossible to manage or mitigate it fully, hence you end up with runs and rides on shared pathways or closed loops of road, like a 1km foreshore or such because then you don't have all the potential vehicle interactions or at least far fewer of them. And thats fine but it's not as interesting to ride, and so then you end up with less participation. Whether the ride is professionally run or charity it really is a lot of work to do all the planning and management, like full time eqivalent almost for a period of weeks if not months and so finding volunteers to cover that is a significant ask, then the cost (some of which is invoiced in advance of the event) for police, road closures, even getting the qualified people to do parking management and traffic control for an entry point, its all expected to be done by qualified people not just a random person assigned to do it, venue costs and all the rest can be substantial, sometimes there can be reimbursement from say council for park hire or state gov tourism grants maybe but there is a lot and can reach a point where unless you have starting capital of tens of thousands, a certainty of signups like thousands of people paying north of $100 each its not worth doing. Even getting permission for unsealed roads im sure that's a whole lot of potential problems too but at least you can get so far away from humanity that there is opportunity to close the roads and not have people be bothered by it.

I suggest the limit depends on average speed. The higher the speed the larger the aero cost of wider tyres. The lower the average speed the more important wider tyres are for descending confidence. Both on road and gravel For road: 28's may be the optimal for pros averaging 45km/h. 30's may be the optimal for national level riders averaging 35kmh 32's may be the optimal for amateur riders averaging 30kmh For Gravel 45's may be the optimal for pros averaging 32km/h. 50's may be the optimal for national level riders averaging 28kmh 2.1's may be the optimal for amateur riders averaging 22kmh

Great question, I am hoping to get a meeting with them. I’ll put that on the list of questions.

Maybe one day!

Yeh I changed a few audio things this week. When I get back from EB we will be making some production changes to sort that stuff out.

Thanks ❤❤
