      I remember seeing a feature in Cycle Sport magazine on Carrera in 1993 when they had their double denim kit. And in the article was a picture 'at home' of Claudio Chiappucci wearing actual double denim clothes. Put me off double denim for life.

    The EliteWheels partnership was a pleasant surprise! I have a set of their rim brake SLTs, they are their second-from-entry level carbon wheels in a 55mm depth, and for sub-£350 they are extremely impressive value for money. I've raced them in TTs and even won a local hill climb on them.

      I have a set of Drive 50v’s on my Allez build. At the time I bought them they were one of the only affordable rim brake carbon wheels wide enough to be seamless when running 28’s. They run Cadillac smooth with GP5k’s tubeless. I got black logos on mine which look vastly better IMO. I contacted them before I bought and they can also ship logo-free or custom colors with a +1 month lead time.

    As far as bell use on bicycles, I resisted putting a bell on my bikes for more than ten years, all the while complaining that most trail users don't hear or don't know what to do with "On your left!" Often, they move TO THE LEFT. I was at the LBS last year complaining about this, and one of the employees told me that, for whatever reason, bells work better. He was right. I had a bell on my last two rides of 2023, and the bell worked EVERY TIME. I'm sold.

  • @TheMarman57
    @TheMarman57 11 місяців тому

    Great show guys. Here's a thing I have discovered for myself. If you take a watt count - say 300Watts, and divide it by 10 = 30 - that is approximately the weight in kilograms you are applying to the pedals with each leg, for every pedal stroke to achieve that wattage. Easy enough for a few pedal strokes, but 20 or 30 minutes, or an hour !! Now we're talking. However, that doesn't necessarily equate to monster leg power and massive legs like Mr. Forster the track cyclist. Dave Bedford, the distance runner from the eighties was famed for having the same cadence and stride length when running regardless of the surface underfoot - mud, rivers, woodland, grass or road. He had enormously strong legs without huge muscle mass- but it's that kind of strength endurance that I think cyclists aspire to - myself included.

    As someone who lives and works as a bicycle mechanic in Portland, OR I agree that PART of the decrease in pre-pandemic ridership is due to an increase in remote work. Another large factor is a topic you’ve been covering with some frequency lately; cars. Since the pandemic, there has seemed to be a meteoric rise in reckless driving and hit and runs that have left many cyclists feeling unsafe on city streets. I wonder if other cities have had the same experience. More protected bike infrastructure!

    Si. A lot of people don't know the proper meaning of the use of the car horn (or bike bell come to that). It gives a warning of your presence and should not be used as a rebuke or 'get out of my way'. The Highway Code says, "Rule 112 The horn. Use only while your vehicle is moving and you need to warn other road users of your presence. Never sound your horn aggressively."

    I think high visibility should apply to cars too. As a driver/cyclist, sometimes it's hard to notice grey cars coming from behind on a rainy day

    It is great to see Killian in the show. It would be great if he did a video about what kind of training he is doing for his challenge. It would be really useful for some of us normal riders who are not and have never been pro athletes.

    In 1991 Greg Lemond complained that he simply couldnt keep up anymore that "the whole Peloton had gotten so insanely faster". At first he tought it was the result of lead poisening from pellets he still had in his body. History has tought however that it was a new drug EPO. When will we ever learn!

    Si hates bells, and feels that they're rude. It's all about technique. A good bell makes people aware of your presence at a far greater distance than one's voice will carry without shouting (which is VERY rude.) I ring at about 50 meters away, then say "Hello" or "Good Morning" at about 5-10 meters. It's pleasant and works.
