    His lack of specificity putting his bike together and being top of world class is so comedic 😂

      It's wild. Kristian is less prepared and skillled than me 😂 and I'm about 5hours behind him in an ironman

    Torque wrench, proper marking to stick with specific setup and optimised tire pressure could go a long way here. Indeed all that talk about optimization has not reached the bike yet. But makes the results even more impressive! KB, you are a star.

    Hey kristian! Just put a tape along the edges before dismantling the parts so you could just trace it when putting back together. Thats zero2 precision.

      That’s nice to see
      This is pretty much how I put my bike back together
      When I mess up I basically don’t make the same mistake again
      I think KB is the favorite however Jan will attempt to get away & stay away on the swim

    How doesn't he have a guy to build his bike? It's like a racecar driver building his car before a race.

      @pal_lokomotivet2679 10 місяців тому +1

      Maybe he likes it. I love the pre Ironman routine assembly. Makes me calm that every bolt has been adjusted with the right torque. It only takes 15 min so why bother with a service person

    • @Transsend_it

      These guys are on a different scale / budget than other pro sports, which is why I love it!

    • @SaschaRissling
      @SaschaRissling 10 місяців тому +1

      not a lot of pros have that budget. they'd rather spend the money on physio, etc.
      Jan has his bikes delivered from canyon and has them take the bike back as well after the race. (And i guess for a race like this Lionel as well)
      Daniela Bleymehl has her husband taking care of the bike, its a family business.
      Would love to know if there are more people having their bikes taken care of
