Pro Hack for the BEST Value Aero Upgrade
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 сер 2024
- Aero socks look good and save precious watts. I’ll tell you why I think aero socks are the most cost-effective aero upgrade you can make for cycling. But as everyone that has tried them already knows, a major downside to them is that even the best made aero socks rarely stay up and in place on long, hot rides. I demonstrate how using a medical adhesive spray, like Mueller’s Tuffner Pre-tape, is the best and most secure way to keep your cycling socks from slipping down your legs. I test it out myself on an indoor spin to see how well they keep my socks in place.

Could you please add some chapters to your video along the timestamps?
Suddenly stumbled upon your channel. You have great insights man.
I had no idea my timestamps weren't showing up in my videos. I used the wrong format in my video descriptions, so they did not auto-generate. Just spent the last hour editing them all. 🤣 Thanks so much for the heads-up! And thanks for watching.
@@bikesbymike Glad to help
Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing! I'll be trying some spray in the coming season
Good that I’m not the only one trying this out. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, Mike. Did you try the Silca socks in your testing?
Not yet!
@@bikesbymike@bikesbymike OK, I ordered a couple pairs, so I'll let you know my thoughts. 😀
@@anthonyg-can Please do! It's Silca, so it HAS to be good.
@@bikesbymike UPDATE: I can vouch for the Silca socks after about 2 rides! :) Comfortable, they stay up, aero styling... wait for a sale.
@@anthonyg-can Nice to hear! BTW, I sent you some routes via Strava messaging. Just want to make sure you got them. You can also respond by email to BikesbyMike.yt@gmail.com
A good value aero upgrade is a new stem
I think of the stem as the best value bike fit upgrade, but I guess it does have a small weight and aero benefit as well.
@@bikesbymike Yes, same here. My observation of sportive riders here in Switzerland is that they should get much more aero, i.e., get lower and longer stems and narrower bars. I have aero socks that I wear at the track, but they seem to stay up ok.
