Your philosophy on wanting a light bike even if you’re not climbing much and even if you’re a heavier rider represents many of us :)
It’s dumb, I changed to chasing comfort and my miles and speed went through the roof. I’m down from 215 to 179 and as fast as I was 20 years ago. Running 35mm Rene herse plushies.
*_All about_* _that Wh/mile._
Even as an XC MTB urban rider, any wasted energy _hurts_ me.
Hot take: People are talking up how great lossy-AF hub shifters are & I'm not even happy about the extra drag on 1× layouts!
Plus, I don't want to spend >$1K on one proprietary component I'll void the warranty on just by pushing myself a bit.
It don’t make you faster, and it don’t make the bike look better. So, you’re making the bike a bit lighter, and your wallet A LOT lighter… for what? 😂😂
I just love your humor 😂😂 “spin test … spin test” 😂😂
He's a spin doctor!
Your laugh at 18:59 reminds me of the laugh from the dad in Back To The Future when it goes back to 1955 and they're sitting at dinner in front of the TV and he laughs at the Honeymooners.
hahahah
Would not expect a Czech brand on this channel even in my wildest dreams haha
To fix the Ride Now pink stem, get yourself a black sharpie! Worked well for me.
I'm getting sick and tired of people forgetting that lighter bikes accelerate faster out of a corner. As a crit racer on mostly flat courses, people always seem to forget that a lighter bike is not just for climbing but it saves watts out of each corner which is especially good for tail gunning in a race.
@@MainUkraine thanks man and appreciate your channel you always bring great unbiased bicycle information on so many topics, keep up the good work 👍
Nope! Lower rotational mass makes you accelerate faster, so lighter tire, and a lighter rim. Physiks are really simple!
@@66mikkim exactly, that's why Chinese wheels are taking over the wheelset market because they offer aero wheels at lighter weights than western brands. There are wheelsets for under $2k that are 1200 grams or less.
@@66mikkim I run pretty shallow 40m elite drive wheels that are 1250 grams for the wheelset and I notice that I save a considerable amount of watts accelerating out of corners each crit. Instead of doing 600 watts each corner I am getting away with 450 watts on some of these courses. It makes a big difference.
TPU AND Continental 5000 tires great combination 👍
one of the best
We were talking about the weight weenie stuff today. Two pounds is significant.
You do need to work on weight, but you can't drop two pounds overnight (unless you are retaining water!)
yea it is tough I dont care about weight as much because we are so flat but I love it for bragging lol I do not know why I find it fun, like a hobby
@@GCPerformance18 Well you could come out here. We have a mountain that tops out at 9200 feet! I don't worry about weight either, but ceramic bearings are definitely desired.
Just take some Lasix. You'll quickly lose some weight. You may go into hypovolemic shock and experience some hypokalemia but you'll be a few pounds lighter.
Great vid. Better wheels, tpu tubes, conti tires and a ceramic BB will make a world of difference. You certainly know your meat and potatoes and how to dish em out to perfection. Great advice and worth following every step. Thanks
:) thank you so much I am glad you enjoyed
I literally just learned about this bike a week ago and I’m super intrigued. I can’t wait for your full review!
of course!! the bike has been so great!! very nice bike is budget is the main thing and also it can be road or gravel
I too upgraded my Madone SLR to its final evolved form. Campagnolo Bora Ultra WTO 60mm, custom 3D printed saddle with 7x9 carbon fiber rails. 140mm rotors front and back (I don't care if braking will be slightly worse) and lighter GP 5000 S TL (was running the GP 5000 AS - All-Season tires which are 50g heavier) I probably could have done more to reduce weight, like a shallower wheelset, titanium bolts, OSPW, Ceramic BB, but I don't wanna go too deep into the rabbit hole of this obsession.
hell yea!!!
Florida has lots of vacation destinations. And now, woohoo, there's the Table of Upgrades. 😀
Hahahhaa table of upgrades is the destination hot spot
Totally rad video dude. I prefer threaded BSA English bottom brackets. I have one push fit one. I hope to change them all over to ceramic.
Thank you so much!!
Hand up who would buy this bike and spend the $$ for upgrades to go from 20lb to 18lb, heavy before and still heavy after
I am going to be setting up my synapse similar to this
Hell yea!!!
Pimp my ride... 2024 bike version
waitying for MTV to give me a call and for xzibit to hit me up
Yo we heard you like movies so we put monitors on your stem
looking forward to hearing how much faster this made you. not holding my breath.
So much fasterrrr the most fastest
Love that Papa John's guy! We're doing it BETTER!
Hahaha
Incredible deal for less than $2500,cool hairstyle you're styling.💯👌🏻🚴♂️✌🏻
Florida ready.... classic! One of the only places I have ridden where I have seen so many tt bikes with drop bars.
Do you always use the tape on the new wheels even if you are not setting up tubeless?
If there are spoke holes you need too. Because those holes can cause punctures. If the rims don’t have spoke holes they no need for rim tape
Samesies here about the Schwaaaaalbles. That cracked me up!
Spin test ?? Sick.
New sub. Well done !
lmao thanks
Grant don't put yourself down you fine figure if a man. I'm 265lbs and i also look at weight 😂.
Deep wheels, Conti tyres and TPU tubes gained me over 1mph average on all rides.
Best upgrades everyone needs to do, and all for under $1000.
105 di2 full groupo is $1k on merlin cycles lol not $2k. even ultegra 12spd di2 is $1500
Yea that’s fucked
I have a winspace with Ultegra 12 speed. It would make a nice home for it lol
the smoother the bearings mean more speed. at the indy 500 one cars wheel were spun and went around 3 or 4 times. the fastest car wheel spun and kept going for ever. so the derailleur is impressive.
Though GP5000 has restrictions on type/weight of inner tube that should be with... Thank you for all this tips!
Is the 34T rear cog for the occasional bridge you have to cross lol?! With that OSPW you'd surely need a longer chain on a conventional groupset in case you went biggie-big, lucky with Di2 it should prevent cross chaining to that extreme being programmed into the system?
I just had this cassette for it at the store so I swapped it out for something stock I usually run a 28
so upgrades cost estimate 1900 dollars or 950 dollars a pound. one could just buy another bike.
But why waste money on another sub mediocre bike, when you could have just one good bike and ride the heck out of it?
It's optional. 😅
Hey Grant, I’ve brought the same wheels but they haven’t arrived yet, do the 32’s lightbulb a lot or are they pretty flush? Great video as always
No they fit very nice on there almost flush it’s a really nice fit on there
@@GCPerformance18 thanks so much appreciate
@GC Performance, do you have a website where I can order this bike from?
Would you be able to build a size 'Large' from the ground up? and ship it?
send me an email gcperformanceyt@gmail.com
Nice lookin' bike
Thanks so much
Is true that a butyl tube will possibly pop if your set up is rim break because of the heat friction it creates while breaking, Especially going down hill?
the really lightweight tpu tubes have warngings saying due to high heat they can pop, i have never heard of this or seen it but maybe because people take the warning serious
Thanks great info and is the link you have to buy the bike is bike online correct? Are there a good legit company I've never bought online from them before?
Yes link is in description. Bikesonline has been around for a long time and same with superior bikes. I think they are incredible value.
Holy shit 8.3 kg after those upgrades 😨 There’s no need for disc brakes in Florida, rim brake TCR, 11-28 cassette, same wheels could get close to 7 kg with light finishing kit. Maybe an idea for another build.
Hey gc what does the ospw do ??? Does it make it lighter ? Does it make the chain faster making your bike fast ??? Can someone explain
ospw makes the chain have less friction which allows for the chain to be pedaled and have more continue momentum
Love the videos as always. Had a question about your discount code at bike gen…. Old code no longer works. Will you be offering a new one? Please ;)
How much lighter is ones wallet after? still weighs a ton😅
Super light
I love the TPU Tubes. Don't think I would ever go tubeless.
same here
What size did you buy and how tall are you? Thanks
It’s a large and I’m 6 foot
I'm fanatical about weight or over a fence I don't know fer sure what the advantage is. Every one talks hill climbing but what about going down the other side.Is it not true that a heavier bike and heavier rubber will coast farther and faster than a lighter one.
Are you able to do a video on the new Scott foil RC ?
Yes I have a customer buying one today
@@GCPerformance18 awesome, looking forward to the video :)
Wheels, tires, everything else.
Tf these bots doing in the comment section?😂
Seriously what the hell 😂
bro I block them all the time and they keep coming back lol I have no idea
I had two ride now tubes fail at the seam, only had 45 psi. Never even got to ride them. everything else is sweet.
I had a bad batch on the first sets I ordered like a year ago, but since then I have not had issues with mine or the ones I sell in my store
Yeah, they improved a lot. Old ones used to be very inconsistent
Well with sponsorship anything is possible, but our mortals can’t afford those expensive upgrades but it was nice to see….ill keep on dreaming
105 Di2 cost 1000$ was 2k maybe 3 years ago...
Not hear in United States. From me ordering di2 from SHIMANO direct in America. It still prices 2k. We got them tariffs over here
You're eon the UCI's hit list bro.
No shift issues at the upper or lower gears with the prestacycle cassette?
That bike is a steal at MSRP.
yea it is an amazing bike for someone looking to upgrade or get a great value just starting into the sport
So I was seriously looking at upgrading to TPU tubes, but when I went into a LBS, the guy there said he has seen overwhelmingly negative experiences with them. He said they seem to get more positively rated online, whereas more than half of the TPU tubes he sees people use end up developing flats around the stem. I was initially kind of excited about the idea of such a light and compact tube, but he sort of put me off of it. Any thoughts on that? I get being cautious because they're so much more expensive than butyl, but was he perhaps being overly negative?
The stem of TPU Tubes are fragile. You must really be careful installing them and with pumping air into them especially if you're using hand pumps. Nonetheless, they are great. I use them right now with Vittoria Rubinos, the one that are stab proof and then bought some tyre liner to put inside as well to ensure that it's not gonna get stabbed. Punctures is the only issue i have had with them so far.
Id love to get a nove2ride pulley system but:
1. They dont make an ultegra RX
3. They dont make steel bearing pulleys
2. They look so spindly, give me the carbon beef!
Did u consider facing the bottom bracket?
no, this is not needed
Fun vdo.
Thanks so much!!
It's time for a new table.
hahahahha
No pre upgrade weight?
At the end I tell you what it is. It was 20lbs.

I like making my bike lightweight to a certain degree..haters gonna hate
At the end of the day this is a hobby to bring you joy. So whatever makes you happy is all that matters
Clicked on the link for the bike and it came back the page does not exist.
sorry about that here you go www.bikesonline.com/superior-x-road-team-elite-di2-carbon-gravel-bike Its fixed
As a bike store owner what is the most expensive bike you have owned?
complete stock sworks venge vias, retail was around like 13000 I think
I got the Polygon Helios A8X...then ordered the Magene Exar Ultra 405 wheels...MONEY!!! Got it after seeing your videos.
I need to upgrade to Novaride ceramic bottom bracket, OPSW, and 1 piece cassette and I am done!
how good is nova ride bottom bracket compared with kogel and ceramicS?
The Nova link does not work and links to a 404 page!
oh hold on lemme fix it
novatoride.com/en
Weight savings in Florida... What's your typical elevation gain per mile?
Hahhaa 35mile ride is like 200 feet
You don't like Schwalbe because Continental is easier to pronounce 😂
Hahhahah guilty as charged
I like to see how you came from a voice only presenter to revealing your face youtuber.. lol🤣
Like I always say. Right tools makes the halve of the job done.
25:00
😅
My suggestion and urging him a couple years ago to reveal his face 😁
those brand new 32mm tyres will after a month blow out to 34mm
ohhh that is exciting
@@GCPerformance18 No, its just really not very aero I don't understand why we have to put bigger and bigger tires on rims and therefore actually make a slower wheel 30mm rim outside 23inside he would need a 28mm tire.
Can I have your DT Swiss wheels? :)
Google Translate “sup” from Malay to English 😎
its always 100% you when you get dropped.. stop it
Great. $2k bike + $2k in upgrades gets you a $3500 bike. Genius.
But 3500 stock, is way worse than this?
slowerandolder more like oil up old man
Hey Grant I'm interested in those wheels if you will sell for 300
hell noooo
Hahahaha, ok what are those actually worth MSRP tho? The DT Swiss ones? Probably like 1k
Papa John’s is possibly the worst thing I have ever put in my mouth. Ok carry on.
lmfao
Wait, wait.....those Conti tires are $81 EACH???
yea because they are not tubeless or str version they are only tubbed
@@GCPerformance18 ah! Understood! 👍
nice you took a budget bike and added 1500$ in parts
Yea and made it way more efficient to my liking. The bike will perform much better with these upgrades including comfort and speed with the added aerodynamics of the wheels
I thought shimano bottom brackets don't want grease inside the bike frame?
I’ve always thought that the best upgrade one can do to their bike; is ride less and get a higher paying job lol.
shit how do I buy that upgrade, sign me up
Gotta ask the dentist besides your shop.😂
GC, DONATE ME THE NOVA!!!!! pretty please
I needs, it MY PRECIOUSSSSSS
Prestacycle cassette shifts like crap. Possibly the worst shifting I have seen in 40 years of being a pro bike mechanic.
When it's pan flat and windy, you shift once per ride when you turn around to come home, so shift performance doesn't really mater 😂
Yeah my buddy got one a few weeks back and it shifts like shit. He took it off and sent it back in less than a week.
No sense to do such expensive upgrades on an average frame. I'd better upgrade the frame )
its always nice to do upgrades on carbon frames, thats the whole part of it, if you could buy a crazy high end frame it would come with the nice parts, these upgrads would complement the frame to make it that much better
Please stop pounding on the table or products- makes it irritating to hear you. You must have the microphone on the table.
lmao I do not have a microphone if you believe it or not
U think what upgrades u can push on ur bike, but ur bike wants just to be ridden. Thats it.
