  • By far the most important marginal gain you can make is improving your aerodynamics. In fact some of the speed gains made from a few quick changes are so significant that they shouldn't even be classified as "marginal gains", they're just gains. Josh Poertner goes into detail about how to improve your aerodynamics on the bike.

      If you care about being faster than you mates, then working hard is probably the lowest priority in the order of things to get.
      Socks? Requires 0 effort and it’s a permanent gain. Wheelset/aero frame/helmets? Same. All these don’t cost you ANY effort or time, yet gives you an immediate benefit boost.
      Fitness requires time and effort to build and maintain, while it’s so much easier to just BUY your benefits. So of course it’s way more logical to just focus on optimising your equipment first, and once you’ve squeezed out every last watt from your gear, then you start looking to fitness for those uncertain gains.
      It’s like my coach said before. It’s ok that we train less than the other competitors given our country’s emphasis on education. We still can win because our wealth allows us to buy our way to the podium, and that’s a win too.

      @@slowcyclist4324 that is really a poor sport mentality. At a pro level where you have pressure from sponsors, I can understand but for amateur.. That is why some amateurs cheat, take enhancing drugs where there is only their ego which is at risk. You will be much more proud of overtaking your mates by the efforts that you have made than thanks to the last skinsuit that you have purchased. Otherwise I do not understand why you have started to ride at the beginning

    Excellent piece, thank you for this. Especially the forthright analysis of low cost aerodynamic improvements.
    One thing I learned from Mike Burrow’s book Bicycle Design is that even with wheel covers in place, traditional forks, and even “aerodynamic” forks, are a drag-inducing disaster.
    The turbulence of the air as it passes through two tubes with a wheel in between is astonishing.
    This is also why monoplane aircraft are so much faster than biplanes.
    The solution?
    A monoblade. An asymmetrical one piece fork, tapered at or greater than 4:1 with a teardrop shape.
    And yes, front and rear.
    His Lotus 108 featured this and it was an insanely fast machine.
    And now I’ll close before I start talking about recumbents …

    man, that "climbing vs aero gradient depends on the power" is so important. Ever since manufacturers started talking about that 6% line, my question has always been "yeah, but at what power and w/kg". Obviously aero is going to matter a lot more for a rider at 400W and 6w/kg. But I'm at 270 and 4.2, when all my local climbs are 6% or more, and it's a no-brainer.

    Dylan, what I would love to see is a video on how to train to ride in an aero position for longer.
    What kind of stretch exercises, strength exercises and on the bike drills I could apply so that I could actually hold my aero tuck for a long time.
    I feel as when I’m fresh I can usually hold an aero position for a while, but as I get fatigued my triceps start burning, shoulder gets tense and It becomes hard to hold the tuck.

      For what it’s worth, it’s a function of three elements: (1) time in the position; (2) bike fit; and (3) flexibility. There’s a lot to discuss about all three but in my experience inadequate hamstring flexibility is commonly an issue. And it’s one you can solve relatively easily with proper attention. As a test, you should be able to raise your foot a couple inches vertically from a pedal (in socks) in the noon (top) position when in your aero position. Most riders can’t move it vertically at all meaning they are dragging their top foot through vertical twice each revolution. A big marginal loss in power. But all three factors interact dynamically so it requires trial and error to develop a relatively sustainable aero position. Just my two cents.

    • @jasonhendrickson2289

    I was on to all this 15 years ago as Vroomen and White started Cervelo ... more that 50% of my multiple successes, including National Championships were just because I kept my tight fitting jersey zipped up amongst other such items and that kept me saving power over much younger, stronger riders which left me more matches to burn in the closing stages :-)

    Triathlete here and for us aero is everything. On a road bike not so much because the biggest gains is in your position and you can only do so much on a road bike but that being said a helmet, assuming it works with you position can save a lot of drag but clothing is probably the biggest benefit. Aero road bikes are the least bang for your buck. The rider is the real drag. Not the bike.

    Great series. Thank you! The discussion on weight reminds me of a story a friend told me. He was, in his younger days, into cycling and bikes etc and was dreamily eying the latest, lightest (a nice easy metric for manufactures etc to focus on) bike. A conversation with the bike shop owner went to and fro about weight saving, price etc before the guy suggested, rather bluntly, that he might be better off running round the block a few times and losing some weight!
    I have become less interested in weight since wrapping myself in 25kg of DF velomobile for my daily commute. Previously, my best time for the 22km to work was about 45 mins on a bottom of the range Cruzbike recumbent (approx. 35 degree seat angle). That was a full gas effort. Best time on the DF - 36 mins, not eyes-popping-out effort as it gets too scary to be doing 60kmph on bad road surfaces etc. I am 53 and in no great shape. Could lose 5-7 kg! Aero is king! Now to find some low friction chain tubes… gains…

    • @Alex-kr7zr
      @Alex-kr7zr Рік тому

      Nice one. Looking forward to the time when we have solar paint to add some additional horse power to the human power. The downside of a velomobile is probably safety in situations where normal cars commute, as it so small and can easily be overlooked and probably not very safe in case of collisions in general. With great speed comes great responsibility unfortunately.

    Good stuff Dylan! We should all be aware too that all the advancements in bicycle tech itself, like decreasing TDF bike weight from 9.6 down to 6.8 kg during the 50-year time period from 1972 to now, and making some aerodynamic tweaks to the bikes themselves have amounted to a potential gain of less than 5%...A 5% gain is what we've got for 50 years of engineering/R&D time and tooling investments of $10s of millions. What an example of disproportionate investment for decreasing marginal gains, pathetic return on investment! Just doing a few tweaks to rider positioning and maybe changing our clothing a bit looks a lot more cost-effective.

Great interviews - you are well prepared and good at letting the guest take his time to get to the point, sometimes with a great anecdote included as well. Keep it up. It could be fantastic if you interviewed some of the key stakeholders in the US gravel scene to get POVs on how gravel will develop - in US and globally. Will the same happen to the gravel scene as it did with road racing when UCI wanted control? What about UCI now throwing 1-2 gravel races in the schedule and want ownership of gravel world championship? There is so much to debate for the good of the grass roots in gravel.

      @@gumzster It's not that surprising that aero socks would actually have big effect because your legs are the only part that's going faster than the whole bike. If regulations allowed it, I wouldn't be too surprised if we'll see some sock like things that are pulled over your shoes and socks to get rid of all the seams and crevices in your shoes and ankles.

    Good stuff, I had already planned on making some aero upgrades for next summer, so this is helpful. Wheels deeper than 38mm, aero bars and aero helmet, aero jersey's is all I wear. Bikes are expensive, so I never understood dirty bikes. I always say a clean chain is a fast chain.

    Coming from a car and motorcyle racing background I've really started loving cycling because of the really small margins. I've had a lot of fun taking all of the mechanical and engineering knowledge I've learned from those disciplines over the years and applying it all to cycling and seeing what sticks. Currently experimenting with vortex generators and some winglets on the front half of the bike with the goal of redirecting air away from the rider position.

      This sounds interesting. And considering how voxtex generators are used in F1 cars, you could do pretty magical things with road bikes if regulations are not too strict.

      ​@@MikkoRantalainen But sadly, the regulations ARE quite draconian from the world governing body over most of cycling (the infamous UCI). 😡
      They seem to ban/restrict even the most benign appearing non-structural (and even some of the actual structural) aero 'add-ons', as well as tube length to section width/shape ratios, seat tube angles, wheelbases, rider positioning, etc. ☹
