I don’t believe taking a single vo2max test is going to be beneficial for most people. From my perspective, it should be used to measure how much your performance has increased from training block to training block, year over year. I plan to do another in the future to see how much I can improve.

I do not use a Garmin, just the Apple Watch

Yes, my Strava is Kanten Nichols

I think almost anyone that rides their bike more than 10 hours a week will fit into at least the excellent category

True wisdom from the guys that are really doing it

Tailwind went crazy

I appreciate it! I definitely do a lot of training inside because of how efficient it is, but nothing beats racing and group rides for handling skills

and 509 was on the hoods the entire time through the corner. sketchy mcsketcherson

No power meter 😭

Says the guy lapping me in the race after this

I’m really enjoying it! I’ve made a few more significant changes to the bike since this video that I’ll probably go over in the future.

Sorry about your crash, hope you’re alright!

Thank you bro, sorry to hear about your incident on Sunday, wishing you a quick recovery!

Appreciate it! Definitely going to race it much differently next year, hopefully I’ll be able to hang in the 2s

That’s hilarious, glad we made it without colliding!

Thank you! Really enjoyed the weekend and making these videos

Lmao I’ll let him take that up with his fitter. Appreciate you checking out the video!

Made sure to tag ya on the Instagram, good riding bro

I appreciate the kind words. There are definitely some handling discrepancies in the pack and I’m excited to move up to the 2s for next year to try and avoid some of it.

Great vid! Awesome that you were able to finish the race safely. That was actually @ten96cycling that got taken down by the guy diving the corner. His vid provides a good breakdown of it and the race itself.

A huge field, a large amount of juniors, and a lot of people desperate for results willing to do anything for it.

Some do, some don’t. I made a bit of money this weekend from my racing, enough to pay for my registration.

depends on the race. Smaller races don't expect much. Sometimes its just merch.

This was me all 3 days, I couldn’t bring myself to get to staging an hour early

CX could be fun, coincides with running season 🤔

Proportionally, I have a longer torso compared to my legs. I am running a 120 mm stem on this bike, so with a 56 I would have to run a 140.

@@BTGCycling Thx for the reply! Those hollowgram wheels really makes the bike extra sexy!

I am 186 cm with a long torso, so I went with the 58 cm

I appreciate the suggestions! I just made a video with my new set of wheels that matches some of this.

Thank you for watching/listening, we appreciate the support

Appreciate you checking it out, glad you enjoyed it!

Personal preference. I just like how shimano works more than sram

@@BTGCycling Thx for sharing your bike, I just purchased the same saddle bag, very minimalist!

Appreciate you weighing in. I had similar thoughts, but wanted an outside opinion

Why sell the 12?

@BTGCycling it started when i was looking to buy new carbon wheels. I realized that stores doesn't have them stocked anymore. So i sold the bike to go into the "new era" of road bikes. Before my CAAD12 i had a CAAD10 black inc. Im thinking its time to try a CF bike this time around, CF bikes with discs have a better second hand market but are a pain to buy. I dont know if the argument "less road noise in a CF bike " is still relevant with the trend of big tires and fat CF rims. They aren't lighter. I will see if i can find a Supersix Evo 4 to upgrade over time or a Allebike industrie due to their insane value (respect to buyers wallet).

It did, though I don’t use it.

@@BTGCycling ok im bout to get that same caad i just couldn’t remember if i seen it or not but i seen it on some other model in videos did you see the new evo 3 that thing look awesome

Always appreciated lil bro, good job on the dub

Thanks for watching! Ellis will have driveway footage for you nearly every week, Kanten will get you a video from it once a month when he comes into town.

One day I’ll be as fast as you and we can do it

Dudes will see this and say “Hell ya”

It is

@@BTGCycling K. Thanks!

It depends on what you’re going for! While I race on the CAAD 13 and do fine with it, the 12 definitely has a more aggressive geometry. Endurance riding and racing = CAAD13 Pure crit machine = CAAD 12

@@BTGCycling Thanks!

This bike can fit up to 32 mm tired, has mounts for fevers, and comes stock with a relatively upright geometry. It can be quite the endurance setup with minimal changes.

Like , maybe put on endurance tires?

@@zm4242 correct, something like a GP5000 or ultrasport in 32 mm width would make it super comfortable

100 percent, guy on the left wasn't the problem. The guy coming from inside line to center was the issue

Yeah definitely lol kinda worked out for me though I barely had to sprint since yall got pinched

She’s just the best

I hate bike thieves, that’s tough, I had an Allez Sprint stolen years ago. Those older CAADs were definitely super aggressive, but I do enjoy the ability to do long days in the saddle on the 13 without issue.

@@BTGCycling yeah the 13 brings the comfort to a new level. I don’t think it deserves the hate it gets - after spending a reasonable amount of time with it, I think it has the perfect blend of stiffness/compliance for the enthusiast rider. I think the fact that I prefer it to the Aethos, which feels like a CAAD9 on steroids to me, says a lot.

I was kind of surprised I didn’t like the Allez Sprint - made me realize I prefer a more relaxed geo. But yeah - bike thieves are scum.

Definitely could’ve been worse. We live to race another day
