Nice video but imo its annoying that you fiddle around with the inner tube (no offense though)
Haha I was trying something new. Thanks for the feedback.
I thought the inner tubes were going to lead to some big “ah ha” moment in the end 😂
I was impressed with the multi-taking 😂
And a butyl one at that!!! Terrible, especially when talking about cheap gains ... 😆
I love it. I’m a fiddler too and I thought it added relatability
it is a good sign of true intention to inform.
Just to change things up, I liked the tube "fiddling". It's inspired me to go and tidy my inner tubes.
Nice video. Very helpful - thanks!
Bonus tip: have the right material (no not the most expensive). Have had people screaming behind me and an other guy for going trough a corner too fast (they had a crash!). I tested the same tires in training the guys had that crashed and I knew why, those were terrible tires in the corners. Have material you feel confident on to race.
Agreed, plus definitely no butyl inner tubes ... About cornering, and to add to your tip: Some people are very fit doing hard Zwift sessions all winter and long rides mostly straight and relaxed all season and then panic in the first fast turn. Work on your bike handling skills so they match your power! If you have to close a ten metre gap after every turn, you're not going smoothly and not going to win the race, mate.
I would do the embarrassing thing and test gear/improve my skills on the supermarket parking lot on Sundays. Do I care when people snigger? Not anymore. But I'll be prepared on race day.
Well played, I do this myself but its all about timing and positioning...💪🏾
All the things that everyone learned when riding their first kiddy bicycle, only fiddling with an inner tube, with no purpose whatsoever. So useful...
Black socks ftw - as you have black t-shirt and cap -matching collar and cuffs!
4:50 You can most definitely shift up (big ring) and shift down (smaller cogs) at the same time. Modern drivetrains easily handle this well (because of the ramps on the chainrings) and it is very smooth if you shift with your foot at the bottom of the pedal stroke or when there's no load on the chain. Just activate the brifter at the same time.
My AXS does that for me ... 😉😆
Very good 👍
It's physics. Momentum is momentum. There is no such thing as "cheap" momentum. Just smart riding.
The playing with the tube and other stuff had driven me crazy. Nevertheless, nice tips. However, not everyone was very new to me.
Everything was going well until you put the tube in the plastic bag! There was still air in it!
You only need to countershift two cogs with a 50-34. If you ride 54-40, one cog is enough.
At 2:22 still haven’t gotten to any of the points. 😢😠
No offence mate but being on the brakes that far into a corner isn't good practice. Trail braking on a road bicycle is not as advantageous as people think. There is no suspension to steepen the head angle to allow tighter turning which is part of the point of trail braking on motorbikes. Dragging a little rear brake is useful for tightening up a turn if your entry speed is too high, but if your entry speed was too high you've screwed your exit speed regardless so working on corner entry to allow for a quicker exit should be your ultimate goal.
Are you trying some hypnosis with that tube or something?
Haha I can see how it might be but nah. Just trying something different.
Great advice to not feather your brakes to hold position when there’s room to move up for free.
Ditto. Stop the fiddling and get on with the topic.
Your dumb comment is more distracting than the fiddling with the inner tube IMO
Woun van Aert has champion legs but a loser mind. He is his own worst enemy.
