Ollie’ s reaction to Alex’s comment about what Campagnolo has done with nipples is hilarious 😂 It’s almost as funny as his reaction to Alex’s “I love a solid tool” comment in a previous video 🤣
All of these expensive gear is totally unnecessary unless your racing. But they’re cool to have. If you can’t afford the latest gear today. Someday you eventually will. Thanks to trickle down technology. If you think about it. Yesterday’s high end aluminum frames and carbon forks. Are today’s entry level and midrange bikes. In the future when they figure out how to fully automate carbon frame production. We’ll have affordable lightweight and durable carbon bikes.
@@iMadrid11 +1 I own a pair of Enve 3.4 and A BMC Roadmachine 01. If I had a chance of doing it again, I would just buy a Canyon Endurace sl or even those a Winspace. For 1 and fancy equipment didn’t and will not transform me into WvA. 2, after I rode them, I can really feel the diminishing return. I can go so far to say as good as they are, they are still “just a bike”.
Sitting here wearing my Boone Technologies wedding ring, I was pleased to see Bruce back in the components business. His old MTB cranks were an object of desire.
Regarding the drum brakes, I've seen them in recombinants before; they're easily to maintain and are usually OK if you pair two with a rear disc brake. SInce they tend to run hot when braking, I've also seen them used as part of a recharge (regenerative) system, using that heat to recharge an e-recombinant's battery.
I have 70mm Sturmey Archer drum brakes front and rear on my dutch Batavus city bike. So far I have recorded over 18,000km on this bike in over 6 years, mainly errands and commutes and they are pretty bombproof. They are of course totally immune to weather and dirt ingress so are very predictable. There is plenty of modulation and stopping power is understated but effective. You can come to a halt very quickly but you won't do a stoppie or lock the front. I find them a joy to use. I've never had to change the brake shoes or had any issues at all - though you have to watch the brake reaction arm is held in place properly, if the frame has no facility, the steel band required has to be up to the job - not all are! I've not had any overheating problem at all with this bike but I have once (as a teenager) conducted an experiment on a dutch bike I had then (also with Sturmey Archer drums) where I came down a 1 mile descent in Wales with a max 20% gradient using the back brake only all the way down. I wanted to see what happened! It cooked the brake to the extent that the chrome plating of the hub (yes it was that old) discoloured and smoke was pouring out of the hub! After cooling it needed repair! The shoes were glazed and the mechanism had temporarily seized up. Using both front and rear together on long steep descents avoids the problem although if I wanted to use drum brakes in the Alps I'd opt for the 90mm version at last for the front! In summary they are the ultimate low maintenance brakes for a utility/city bike but way too heavy for any kind of performance bike be it road, mountain gravel etc. Incidentally my bike also features a front hub dynamo, rear 5 speed hub gears, full chain protection and of course the thing so many UK cyclists hate the most - mudguards. As a result I use it all year round and perhaps once a year do some maintenance - I don't even have to remember to charge any lights!
Another faster, lighter, stiffer etc etc wheelset. Although I will say, it is refreshing to see Campag still have hidden spokes which does increase aero. Yes, more of a faff but definitely an advantage.
Those new Campagnolo look great. I am already in the prosess of ordering a bespoke Sarto with Super Record on and I might just get the Bora Ultra WTO 60s as well. Nice video as usual.
check out sebibuchs channel and see his custom sarto with campagnolo super record and bora wheels. he had custom graphics made for his group set his bike is stunning !!!
@@paulhowell7103 Yeah I have seen it. It's a good looking bike if you like the colors. I am not a fan of the colors on it. But I am not a fan of those colors on anything. So that's my weird taste. I am going with a Sarto Lampo Plus. And I have a few ideas for the paint scheme, so I am talking to them to find out how we can do that. And due to covid restrictions it is hard to get to them for a bike fit at the moment.
FYI, specialized have had gloves designed to reduce pressure on the Ulner nerve for some time. This is not new tech, but it is cool to see more companies doing it. Keep up the good work.
With the Endura shorts discussion it reminded me of a suggestion I had for a video idea: an in-depth video focusing on women’s health issues in cycling and talking to a gynecologist and a women’s health/pelvic floor specialist physio to provide expertise.
Love the Campi’s. The big benefit of tubs is the ability to continue riding even when your tire is flat (though it doesn’t do wonders for the rim). There is one problem I ran into with the three spoke lacing on the rear wheel, a broken spoke made it unrideable. Maybe that problem has been resolved with the new stiffer spoke and nipple design.
it says rate/100k so it is 5 bike thefts per 100k of something for manchester.. inhabitants or bikes or squirrels or what ever, and on top of that that's the REPORTED cases so
At last some Campagnolo kit! They are still fighting and beating Shima(NO!). WTO wheels were compared with their cheaper ONE wheels, and not their Ultra tubular wheels! No rim wheel option though! I would never ever use bland, boring Shima(NO!).
I'm sorry I am calling utter marketing BS here from campag on these wheels being faster in tubeless than tubulsr. The new WTO are 200g heavier than the bora 50 quoted. The lightest tubular tyres i found online at 25mm were 220grms each...plus 57grams of sealent required to make them work. The lightest tubulars were 215grams all in. So the wto on tubeles total 325grams heavier than a tubular set up. The increased speed has nothing to do with tyre and everything to do with wheel aero. Campags own figures show tubular are slower than standard clinchers ..if thats so then there are going to be some mighty p#$@ed off pros who have been conned into riding tubular for years. 😂😂 Fact is if the tubular had exactly the same compound/tread pattern as tubeless then tubular would still have better or the same rolling resistance. Read all the research out there. Campag...if you want to put uo figures that have any validity then make these wheels in tubular as well. Stick on your lightest tubular tyres and stick on your lightest tubless tyres and then get a hill climber to thouroughly test them. I'll bet there's virtually no difference in time but a lot of difference in comfort. Why do you think campag quoted 3.5w per kg on the hill climb? Could it possibly be that you need 3.5w per kg at 8% to get to the speed required for the areo to take effect...hmmmm..? If you want to ride tubeless go forr it .. but Ollie as you lot are always so keen to point out...aero trumps everything.. so I am not disputing these wheels are faster than the 50mm tubular bora...but because the ultras are tubeles? 😂😂😂 Nope...sorry just marketing.... and since when did you put any valudity in modelling....I did some modelling in my 20s... still didnt make me good looking even though i believed it...😂😂
OK the campy wheels are sexy but clearly for cycling's 1% ... of everything in this ep, the trainer tray is the most BRILLIANT! It's simple and solves a problem we've all had. Wish I thought of it! Ordered!!
What company in the world for whatever product would say that their new stuff is worse than their old one (unless it was hampered by new regulations)? I guess this comment section does not know how to comprehend tech news/reviews 🙄
This made me wonder: - A fresh set of Bora wheels: roughly 1.450 gr and over 3.000€ - My current Mavic set: more or less 1.770 gr and just 100€ Can anyone now justify the massive price tag?
@@whatwelearned it's Campagnolo, the wheels will be massively overpriced and you can buy an equivalent (or better) aero wheelset for 1/3rd of the price.
So on the hilly stage the Bora One clinchers are over 4 minutes faster than the Bora One tubular?! - The clinchers are also significantly faster on the climb TT too. Is anyone else surprised by this? Why did / does anyone bother with tubs?? Would also be interesting to see a comparison between WTOs with clinchers vs same wheel with tubeless
great show like always guys! I have an idea of a series that would also be interesting to see. 3 to 4 presenters are given a budget of a certain amount, an amount that represents just under the average cost of the most popular roadbikes for the keen amateur road cyclist. The presenters are then tasked with the job of sourcing the best frame, wheels, tires, groupsets and everything else that is needed to complete their budget build. The bike needs to be competent and hold its own in a race, because all the presenters are then entered into a race aomngst other amateur racers to determine how their bike build went. In essence, which presenter is able to build the best bike for their buck?
Oh hell yeah talking about Campagnolo Bora Wto .I just upgraded the Ultra Cult Ceramic bearing definitely worth the money.I don't care what people say it's worth the money.Talk more about CAMPAGNOLO INSTEAD OF SHIMANO NO OFFENCE LOL
Ceramic Bearing are in the first 50-100 km in Labratory-conditions faster then a regular Bearing. But if you ride them on the streets they will deteriorate very fast und if you repeat the Test after lets say 500km, the "CULT" Bearing will loose clearly.
I would go for the 60mm wto. As for tracker, I plan on using the newly launched Apple Airtags and put it into the frame, likely inside the seat post. Cheap solution and battery last over a year (claimed). While it may not give super accurate location, it’s still good enough and there lots of iPhone users in SG where I live making it ideal
Unfortunately, this is not going to work. Carbon fiber is known to not let radio signals pass through. Of course, I am assuming your seat post is carbon fiber. Probably just tape it under your saddle with black duct tape (to blend in better with the black composite shell) and it should work fine.
Sensitively and yet still possibly somewhat inaccurately and suppressing schoolboy sniggers all the while! I’m sure there are some outtakes for Christmas here...🤣
Bro we need Manon back for the bike vault..m these goobers are too generous. This dude has a bike rack in a photo, that old bike wasn't biggie smalls, and the last one the bike was being ridden for crying outloud. Where are the standards?!?
Are wheels still 27inches? I stopped riding in the 90s , I always had Campagnolo nuevo record pàrts. Rims were Nisi and bàrs.neck saddles were always Chinelli or however it was spelled in Italian. Steel Columbus SLX frame. See up tires were Clement and Vitoria. Carried extra tire folded up under saddle . I also used a milled Campagnolo seat post. 1972 parts mostly. You are all too young to know what real classîc Italian bicycles looked like, but they were still fast with Senior 1 and 2 riders on them. I even hit 45 mph behind a car! That was about 1986. Really crazy right?
Never heard of drum brakes - then put up a Pashley for the bike vault with drum brakes on it? My daughter has a Pashley too with them and they aren’t light or aero of course but they do seem to work quite well and as sealed units Pashley told me they should be good for 30-50k miles if I remember correctly and weatherproof as well.
I used to ride a Dawes tandem with a drum brake, well, until the first time had a puncture week before a race, the faff of re-connecting, so it came off the next day.
A little science lesson, deeper the wheel better it's aero performance. Companies advertising this is complete bs. The aerodynamically perfect wheel will be one that shape shifts according to air. (In real world situation.) And I don't think any thing like this is invented.
😒No rim brake, non-tubular=WTF?!! I’m also unsubscribing to GCN. Your channel is nothing more than an hour extension of the PROPAGANDA MAFIA. Peak Torque, Hambini and a few others are all that is left of ‘NON-BIASED’ equipment reviews. 🥺🤯🤬
@@SprayIgniteBoom I like to try to remain positive but it has to be said: this channel provides hours of content every week for FREE to the likes of you, and in order to be profitable they obviously have to have sponsorships and such, and even then they TELL YOU when it's paid advertising. Why don't you go produce better content for free with no ads? Entitled twat.
I wonder if we will see component makers reverting their disc only philosophy in a few years because customers start to understand the advantages of rim breaks for the casual non-racing rider and there is a market to be filled. I strongly hope they will.
ProfGoodlife 👍, when discs have been flogged to saturation point I won't be surprised to see rim brakes being sold as the latest new improved tech at some point. Many can enjoy buying again the rim wheels they've recently binned as obsolete or sold on. Wouldn't it be refreshing if the industry recognised they're different products with different markets, after all they seem intent on re-defining new bike variants to the Nth degree
It's tough to take a tubeless-ready deep-section wheel seriously when it doesn't come with valves! And as far as I can tell, Campagnolo doesn't even make suitable valves so you have to use third-party valves. Nor do they list which third-party valves (or tires) have been tested compatible. That is hardly a system. Also Campy wheel pricing in the USA is messed up, I can get them shipped from EU for ~40% less.
#AskGCNTech Why does pedalling on different toothed cranks feel different inspite of the overall ratio is the same? When I pedal on the smallest crank and smallest casette it feels like the tension is in the back end of the bike and when on larger crank and casette it feels like the tension is in rotating the crank below me.
Campagnolo's current product strategy seems a little bit strange to me... with 11-speed they had 4 electronic groupsets, from super expensive Super Record via Recor, Chorus down to Athena EPS. Now (12-speed) they only offer the super expensive Super Record EPS which is significantly more expensive than a Dura-Ace Di2. Beside Dura-Ace Shimano has the more affordable and reliable Ultegra Di2, SRAM now unveiled the Rival AXS as their third and cheapest wireless groupset (ok weight with < 3 kg is far beyond evil^^). Is Campy unable to do affordable electronic groupsets now or is is just a lack of will to do so? Esp. the current aero full-integrated frames benefit from electronic shifting, a mechanical shifting cable running through narrow stems isn't the best technical solution, with cables or wireless shifting this doesn't matter. I think Campagnolo has to offer electronic groupsets in more affordable regions soon if they don't want to lose more and more market shares to Shimano and SRAM. The traditional mechanical shifting freaks aren't enough for a component manufacturer. And what's with TT riders and Triathletes running the new disc brake TT bikes with electronic shifting? Only Super Record EPS for rim brakes, Shimano offers at least a Dura-Ace flatbar lever with Di2 and hydraulic brakes (an Ultegra version is still missing). Are new expensive wheelset isn't that much exciting as I can choose from so many offers, but I'd like to see Campa groups which can compete with Ultegra Di2! ;-)

An interesting and in-depth discussion about Endura bib shorts for females, so why was I completely distracted by the fact given early on that there was someone called Filbert in the Secret Squirrel Club? He'd have known where the nuts were hidden.
"Have to have an internal investigation into bike theft and see if there's any corruption in the industry" An investigation... Into bike theft... And see if there's any corruption... Let us know the results of that investigation 😆😆😆
So up until this point in time Campag have only delivered sub optimal wheel sets as these are sooo much faster, stiffer and aero. Emperor’s new clothes anyone?
@@lawrencesingleton2153 And marketing too. Stick five blades on a disposable razor head and suddenly it’s so much better than the old three blade version. Re-inventing the wheel so to speak.
@@Lestalad1961 not really, because the number of people who are going to buy these wheels is really small. They don't spend much money on marketing them. They send a few free sets out to various cycling media outlets, and maybe pay places like GCN to feature them, but that's low cost compared to the money spent for a mass market product. When pro teams are relying on your gear to win races, and have wheels from different manufacturers independently tested, it is massively in their interest to make sure they are making the best wheels they can. Razor tech is all a sham. Single blade safety razor, pack of 100 blades for less than a tenner, and they last multiple uses. I'm still getting through the box I bought in 2018! That industry is 100% marketing, and there is no demonstrable performance increase.
@@jou3708 really pleased with them both on & off road. What’s surprised me most is how for a mid section deep wheel good they are in cross winds, no real sail effect.
What do you think about Campagnolo's new WTO wheels? Let us know in the comments below!
I like the Sound of the wheels. Even I do not like Campagnolo at all.
Good for the professional cyclist - a bit much for the average club rider.

Where are my rim brake pair?
@@CoconutJuice881 You will never get new wheels as rim version again. The market for new rim brake bikes is dying.
Finally some campag stuff mentioned on the show! Keep it coming :D

Because they paid GCN to mention the new wheels...
That campagnolo wheelset is a piece of art.
I agree. But Corima are cooler eh eh

At almost $ 4700.00 a pair ,I will have to wait for the book to come out!
Great to see you guys spend some quality time talking about Campagnolo tech. More please! MORE! BTW, cup/cone bearings are better to fine adjust imo.
Seeing as the Ultra WTO's are going to cost me a kidney, an all-rounder 45 would be appropriate. Please GCN, more Campy love, it just rides different.
That Alterlock is a great idea but $200 Canadian is a 'not a snowballs chance in hell' from me.
Love the fact Ollie is promoting the GCN "shadow" stand whereas Alex chooses to promote and all together different product the "shallow" stand🤣👍
One allows you to do a karaoke cover with Lady Gaga. The other holds your bike up.
The bike thefts are per 100k, rather than the number of bikes according to the fine print.
Correct Jennifer W.
Per wikipedia, Manchester’s population is just over 2.8 million. So the 5 bikes per 100k is actually 140 bikes stolen.
Glad somebody said it. Come on science guys!!
Waiting on Hambini thoughts on those wheels..

Unfortunately, this is not going to work. Carbon fiber is known to not let radio signals pass through. Of course, I am assuming your seat post is carbon fiber. Probably just tape it under your saddle with black duct tape (to blend in better with the black composite shell) and it should work fine.
Congratulations to Ollie for dealing with the description of women’s anatomy so sensitively. It could have gone SO wrong!
Sensitively and yet still possibly somewhat inaccurately and suppressing schoolboy sniggers all the while! I’m sure there are some outtakes for Christmas here...🤣
I chose the WTO 60, they are fast as hell
Bro we need Manon back for the bike vault..m these goobers are too generous. This dude has a bike rack in a photo, that old bike wasn't biggie smalls, and the last one the bike was being ridden for crying outloud. Where are the standards?!?
Delta Brakes are an automatic super nice 🔔
60 looks great
Are wheels still 27inches? I stopped riding in the 90s , I always had Campagnolo nuevo record pàrts. Rims were Nisi and bàrs.neck saddles were always Chinelli or however it was spelled in Italian. Steel Columbus SLX frame. See up tires were Clement and Vitoria. Carried extra tire folded up under saddle . I also used a milled Campagnolo seat post. 1972 parts mostly. You are all too young to know what real classîc Italian bicycles looked like, but they were still fast with Senior 1 and 2 riders on them. I even hit 45 mph behind a car! That was about 1986. Really crazy right?
Never heard of drum brakes - then put up a Pashley for the bike vault with drum brakes on it? My daughter has a Pashley too with them and they aren’t light or aero of course but they do seem to work quite well and as sealed units Pashley told me they should be good for 30-50k miles if I remember correctly and weatherproof as well.
I used to ride a Dawes tandem with a drum brake, well, until the first time had a puncture week before a race, the faff of re-connecting, so it came off the next day.
No load on a spin down test , not a real world test 🤣 it time for the Hambini analyst 👍
You guys should do tandem vs 2 roadies vs tt
A little science lesson, deeper the wheel better it's aero performance.
Companies advertising this is complete bs. The aerodynamically perfect wheel will be one that shape shifts according to air. (In real world situation.) And I don't think any thing like this is invented.
yup, their 80mm bora wheel is probably still faster than this new WTO 60mm rim.
I’m glad too see Boone is extending there product range out past their “not so” fine wine.
45 but prefer the new Gipiemne 40!! Also fast half price
I’d go for the 45,... I have the 60s,great wheels
You think the 60s are too heavy?
@@RB-xv4si nope but you get blown around a little
2 hour spindown on the ceramic bearing wheelset? Maybe it had no lube. Do ceramic bearings require no lube?
Elastomer pads?? How many grams does that add over foam? How aero?
Best presenters duo on gcn 👏

😒No rim brake, non-tubular=WTF?!! I’m also unsubscribing to GCN. Your channel is nothing more than an hour extension of the PROPAGANDA MAFIA. Peak Torque, Hambini and a few others are all that is left of ‘NON-BIASED’ equipment reviews. 🥺🤯🤬

I have all three depth (front and rear) (cost a fortune), and I find that I mostly roll with the 45mm...
Well done on the explanation of the Endura female shorts - How many 'Takes' did that take?
Just ordered my regular 60mm Wto and now they have ultra wtos... whuutttt
the new campy bora wheelset don"t expect much change from three grand
I wonder if we will see component makers reverting their disc only philosophy in a few years because customers start to understand the advantages of rim breaks for the casual non-racing rider and there is a market to be filled. I strongly hope they will.
ProfGoodlife 👍, when discs have been flogged to saturation point I won't be surprised to see rim brakes being sold as the latest new improved tech at some point. Many can enjoy buying again the rim wheels they've recently binned as obsolete or sold on. Wouldn't it be refreshing if the industry recognised they're different products with different markets, after all they seem intent on re-defining new bike variants to the Nth degree
"Consult experts and women", might want to rethink that sentence in the Endura Women's specific section 🤔🤓
I can't wait to buy those Campy wheels to replace my Bora Ultra 35s in Zwift.
It's tough to take a tubeless-ready deep-section wheel seriously when it doesn't come with valves! And as far as I can tell, Campagnolo doesn't even make suitable valves so you have to use third-party valves. Nor do they list which third-party valves (or tires) have been tested compatible. That is hardly a system. Also Campy wheel pricing in the USA is messed up, I can get them shipped from EU for ~40% less.
Great episode. Oversold the name of the bionic gloves.... lol
#AskGCNTech
Why does pedalling on different toothed cranks feel different inspite of the overall ratio is the same?
When I pedal on the smallest crank and smallest casette it feels like the tension is in the back end of the bike and when on larger crank and casette it feels like the tension is in rotating the crank below me.
Campagnolo's current product strategy seems a little bit strange to me... with 11-speed they had 4 electronic groupsets, from super expensive Super Record via Recor, Chorus down to Athena EPS. Now (12-speed) they only offer the super expensive Super Record EPS which is significantly more expensive than a Dura-Ace Di2. Beside Dura-Ace Shimano has the more affordable and reliable Ultegra Di2, SRAM now unveiled the Rival AXS as their third and cheapest wireless groupset (ok weight with < 3 kg is far beyond evil^^). Is Campy unable to do affordable electronic groupsets now or is is just a lack of will to do so? Esp. the current aero full-integrated frames benefit from electronic shifting, a mechanical shifting cable running through narrow stems isn't the best technical solution, with cables or wireless shifting this doesn't matter. I think Campagnolo has to offer electronic groupsets in more affordable regions soon if they don't want to lose more and more market shares to Shimano and SRAM. The traditional mechanical shifting freaks aren't enough for a component manufacturer.
And what's with TT riders and Triathletes running the new disc brake TT bikes with electronic shifting? Only Super Record EPS for rim brakes, Shimano offers at least a Dura-Ace flatbar lever with Di2 and hydraulic brakes (an Ultegra version is still missing).
Are new expensive wheelset isn't that much exciting as I can choose from so many offers, but I'd like to see Campa groups which can compete with Ultegra Di2! ;-)
anyone told Ollie that hairdressers are open
Oh nice intro
Sorry guys you’ve misread the stats. They say that 1 bike is stolen per 100,000 people living in Salford and Manchester not 1 stolen in total.
Places where you don't get gps signal are called ... forests. You don't get wifi there either : /
Super show
The new wheels might be heaven. But as long as industry follows TR these wheels are not mine. Either Clincher or Tubs !
Thieves can’t steal your bikes if they are socially distancing...
5 bikes 'reported' stolen in Manchester 😅 70000 unreported 😂😂😂
Those cranks are heinous...
The alarm you discussed does probably need a data simcard?
Thank you for your comment. The device does not need SIM. But need to subscribe to the Bicycle Guard Service including Sigfox network on the app (GBP 3.49 per month).
All that aero gains just to put on extra spokes and slap on disc rotors and calipers 🤦♂️🤦♂️

Oli didn’t learn his lesson aero is everything
Guys, please add timelines/chapters to these shows.
Re-inventing the wheel.
Those Boone cranks look like the Ocarina of Time from the Legend of Zelda N64 game.
An interesting and in-depth discussion about Endura bib shorts for females, so why was I completely distracted by the fact given early on that there was someone called Filbert in the Secret Squirrel Club? He'd have known where the nuts were hidden.
One bike, PER 100,000 POPULATION. Manchester is a reasonably high population area, gents.
3:00 do you mean moment of inertia?
"Have to have an internal investigation into bike theft and see if there's any corruption in the industry"
An investigation...
Into bike theft...
And see if there's any corruption...
Let us know the results of that investigation 😆😆😆
So up until this point in time Campag have only delivered sub optimal wheel sets as these are sooo much faster, stiffer and aero. Emperor’s new clothes anyone?
That's literally how technology works... Time = improvements.
@@lawrencesingleton2153 And marketing too. Stick five blades on a disposable razor head and suddenly it’s so much better than the old three blade version. Re-inventing the wheel so to speak.
@@Lestalad1961 not really, because the number of people who are going to buy these wheels is really small. They don't spend much money on marketing them. They send a few free sets out to various cycling media outlets, and maybe pay places like GCN to feature them, but that's low cost compared to the money spent for a mass market product. When pro teams are relying on your gear to win races, and have wheels from different manufacturers independently tested, it is massively in their interest to make sure they are making the best wheels they can. Razor tech is all a sham. Single blade safety razor, pack of 100 blades for less than a tenner, and they last multiple uses. I'm still getting through the box I bought in 2018! That industry is 100% marketing, and there is no demonstrable performance increase.
nice wheels, I think for the minute I'll stick with my Campag Shamal carbon disk pair.
What is your opinin about Shamal carbons as a user? Happy with them? Thanks!
@@jou3708 really pleased with them both on & off road.
What’s surprised me most is how for a mid section deep wheel good they are in cross winds, no real sail effect.
