This is more interesting to me because bikes are designed around the Tour and those kinds of races, you'll almost never see anyone doing something like a 170mm stem to be in a TT position, because you can't sustain that for 3 weeks. Niche tech is the most interesting stuff.

Thank you Craven, I agree!

No that was just a minor hiccup.

What happened ?

@jawaddb8061 Jeff did a podcast where he had a few criticisms of Legion. Justin from Legion responded on social media, then Jeff made a video response to that. But nothing too serious.

No, that would be petty, but essentially the words do go back-and-forth we need to 😂

you got it, editing the next one now..👍

Glad you enjoyed it!

What's important is that it fits you and you can put out power. But shorter cranks are really helpful for low positions (as they said in the video, more open hip angle and cornering clearance). They have been fairly popular in the TT/Tri scene for a while

Glad you enjoyed!

I can tell you I’ve sold a pair of Vittoria Corsa NEXT to Sam boardman at the shop, he bought 28s tubeless. Others appear to be racing Pirellis.

Working on that edit now, it's coming...

yeah idk about this.. it must change the way the bike handles, but in a crit it might not matter a whole lot.

future guest commentator?

That's near death for me lol

More to come!

I went back from Time to look after having a couple of unexpected cleat releases on time pedals (Xpresso 7 xarbon). After 3 accident with these I noticed, that the carbon spring deloped a linear crack. And this is sad because I really liked time pedals, great float and feel but I stopped trusting them.

I guess we can't win with any setup. I've been running the XPRO 15 for about 6000 miles and so far (knock carbon) no cracks. I've never done it, but I thinking carbon springs are replaceable (I just may be thinking of my Look blades).@@michadebicki6534

ahead of the curve my guy

Except it's not UCI compliant.

6'1 here. Give it some time and you'll be an absolute menace on the flat. I can compete quite comfortably without sacrificing a healthy looking physique. I do live in a pancake flat area though haha

He’s a natural what can I say

But I had the most fun in the Blazer tent, thanks again Johnny!

Same in Germany. It's just not a thing over here. Would love to try it.

@@runsintheforrest1364where do you live? Here in the south there is one almost every weekend. Did you look at Rad-net already?

@@runsintheforrest1364 There are definitely some in BaWü.

@@runsintheforrest1364 if i wouldnt be busy working a 40h job and having 2 kids i'd really like to get something going... but well.. others maybe ^^

@@martins.3070 Yeah but those are for pros or riders from clubs. I would like to go to practice crits where one can get the hang of it.

would love to but unfortunately won't be able to make it this year. I'm planning on it next year though.

This is what many people miss out on. They think the same stem length works for their different bikes and handlebars, but cumulative reach (frame reach + stem length + handlebar reach) is the most important aspect. If one of those parts are shorter or longer, the other two parts need to have different lengths to compensate for the gain or loss. For example, I can run a 100 mm stem on a Size 48 2017 - 2019 CAAD12, but that's because the frame's reach is shorter. I'm not running the same stem length on, say, a Size 49 Tarmac SL7.

As to why most still run 2x, I suspect it's to get your chain back on your big ring quicker in case of a drop or to prevent the drop outright

Lol so bad😂

Same set up for training and racing for us. Only difference is we us the 303’s on our training bikes

One to two sizes smaller on the frame compared to your average amateur rider necessitates the need for a longer stem. What they’re really chasing is the lower stack of the smaller frame. I typically run a 53cm top tube/90mm stem, but if I were to emulate a lower front end position like these guys, I would run a 49cm top tube/130mm stem. Bear in mind that the smaller frames proportionally have less room to lower the stack, so for my height, there might be no reason to go shorter than a 51cm top tube/110mm stem with a negative rise.

They do especially when they are lightweight rider and running hookless 25mm and above inner width rim with 28/30mm tubeless tires.

​@@brasso9393 Thanks for reminding me that I'm old. You lost me when you said "running hookless 25mm...blah, blah, blah." I come from the 32-spoke Mavic MA40 rim era, when the thought of racing at 55 psi would seem like riding your bike on the beach.

@@matttilley8620 no worries mate alot of older riders around here acted the same way too. I ran 150 psi on tubular when racing last time. Puzzled at why riders will run 50-60psi nowadays. Until i tried it myself then I realised why. Im merely answering your question abt why rider set pressure at 55psi nowadays. Yes they do and you can run whatever pressure you like which of no concern to me 😉

ZIPP hookless rims have a maximum tire pressure of 72 PSI. This is the typical limit for hookless rims that must use hookless-compatible tubeless tires, whether you decide to run them with inner tubes or not.

You can! 52’s available right on sram

Im 6’5 and ride a 58 with a slammed 110mm stem. Honestly the best fitting bike ive ever had. My dads the same height and rides 62cm bikes and they feel so stretched out and hard to get low and aero

That's within the normal range.

@@lukasparbst9655 wow, maybe I’ll have to try this. I’m on a 61cm as a 6’4 rider

It depends if you are all leg, or all torso. I'm 6'2" and always ride a frame with a 58 top tube, with either a 13 or 14 stem. (depending on head tube)

Sounds perfect to me

Good luck!

Read in another comment he is editing that part now.

Yup, it deserves it's own video, coming soon.

@@NorCalCyclingok, good stuff. Look forward to that.

not as much as you think, and control in the corners is much more important

@@NorCalCycling I guess the roads in the USA are very different to Europe if I run 55psi I’ll fold the tyre in the corner due to all the potholes

quinn is the pro national road champ, ama is the amateur national road champ. USAC is confusing 😂

@@NorCalCycling Ah alright. Is this like a WBA vs. WBO vs... type of thing a just a different discipline? If so what happens if QS decides to race a crit or isn't he allowed to at this level?

the math checks out 52x10 is about the same as 57x11

i've never heard of a stem length matching the crank length

🤯

Try 200 mm, I saw this on a track bike.

awful, right? 😂

People need a little laugh every once and awhile. My goof giving that
