33:10 yes. when it comes to handling in the open road, cannot forget how my current aero road bike suddenly rolled away my front tires. almost contactless on the corner when a wind gust blew me (wind: from west to east. me going south. location: 34.712436, 137.603757) on a winding bridge. it was a true test of composure and bravery to finish the bridge and accept the risk of falling on the lake. before that, i have my simple alu tube road bike and it was not even a problem at all. now, i got wind dilemma on during riding. checking wind speed on my location what not even a thing at that time. setup during that time was an aero(not even full fledge aero ) bike with 30mm rim depth wheelset and Pzero race tlr tires on a dry sunny windy day. road here is left side traffic direction.

Chonky dense bikes are best really.

Nice video - sounds like you could benefit from different tyres if you’re getting so many punctures 😊

That’s some very swanky cable housing you’ve got there sir! 😮

Chris Horner went to the other side. I guess the industries are heading that way

I'm a small frame guy so i like lightweight swift bikes, that easy accelerate and i also like to do dynamic climbs of the saddle so light bikes were always my choice. if i ever wanted to go aero i would buy me a TT bike.

oh lord. where to begin . on mountain stages you spend 50% time going UP and DOWN mountains. on the descents you reach 70-100 km/hr. yeah aero matters. fyi you can easily build a aero bike to weight 6.8 kg. stay ignorant. luddite.

Yaw angle does matter but a rider effectively generates a headwind equal to their speed. This is always there and biasis the overall wind direction (ride direction/speed plus ambient wind direction/speed) towards being head on. I'm no particular fan of modern aero bikes, my favourite bike is a 1986 Merckx Corsa Extra with 10 speed record. Modern aero bikes are fast but are relatively uncomfortable and stupid looking, the ultimate solution is starting to emerge, lightweight aero bkes.

Saw title, came to say square taper. I am victorious!

9 kilos alu frame singlespeed. Weight whiners keep salty, I'm riding a bike thats fun for me.

Fancy route. Where is this, Tutong?

When you consider which part of the rider/bike unit creates the bulk of the aerodynamic drag, attempts to make the bike itself more "aero" are kind of dumb. But people who fancy themselves advanced riders can be persuaded to drop loads of cash for aerodynamically efficient water bottles and socks, so there you go.

Came for the light vs Aero but plz tell me more about the crocks

For a stubborn people like me, there is one key point i need to add to the talk here. One thing weight is always better is You can check the result for every single part you buy, No one can fool you without you noticing. And aero? I am not sure how i can test that out by myself!

After watching this video, I realize the aerodynamic benefit of aero frame is even lesser than my expectation. I guess the reason of over-emphasizing the aerodynamic benefit is to sell carbon bikes, and the reason to sell carbon bikes is because it makes more money. The weird direction of bicycle development in recent years is all associated with profit making in mind, not with the interest of the users in mind.

1500/1600 watt sprint - bought a aero bike... Then spent 3 months trying to make it lighter, as felt sitting on a piece of concrete... Worth the effort though, feels nippy and goes like MF..

It’s not just uphill where a lighter bike saves you effort. In a city like London, where I live, I am constantly accelerating and braking. Force = mass x acceleration. Work done = F x distance. Mainly though, lighter bikes are just more enjoyable to ride.

The disc brake advantage, is being able to use wider tires. Over long distance, the wider tire should be more comfortable, keep the rider fresher. I agree lighter makes more sense, as long as it does not make the bike uncomfortable.

I bought a bike because its... White colour frame... Love the colour😅

Aero makes me think a little of when Ford Escort high end models (circa 1985) were often given rear spoilers. Some people liked the vibe and it was very 80s. A spoiler on a Formula One car presumably helps in some way, given the speeds when Ayrton Senna was the driver. But even the most aggressive boy racer from my homeland of Essex will not gain benefit from a spoiler on an Escort. 😅

Having actual mudguards will let you plow through that body of waterwithout issues.

Trek Emonda SLR couple of years ago before they started taking chunks of of the seatpost is a beautiful aero climbing bike 👍

Good stuff Reg, the average aero frame resembles a garden gate and probably handles like one.

For me, everything that has drop bars, is an aero bike.

Love the flooded tip!!
