Really like the concept behind those recycled carbon tire levers. Another non safety critical part that could be made from this recycled carbon method could be computer mounts.. perhaps maybe even brake levers..🤔
@@pzimusic nostalgia i guess. Im 51 so all my early bikes had them. Dont get me wrong, my disk break bikes work great, but i would like to build a rim bike. Really super lightweight bike with rim breaks, just for fun. Thanks for your interest in my stupid opinion 👍
That 3d printed bike is the future, the ability to have the frame size customised to a buyer's exact needs almost at the touch of a couple of buttons will be awesome
Thank you cipollini for pushing the engineering forward and not selling out. Rim for the win. The disc break versions is almost a kilo heavier but people think its better.
@glennoc8585 well he probably likes it, big muscle guy disc's are probably nice for riding around and having fun, but for racing I'm sure he would choose rim if he was racing today it's just faster.
@glennoc8585 race times are better due to a different racing style, back in the day they would go real easy until the end but nowadays riders attack from way future out. A disc bike has a few issues number 1 the wheels need more spokes that is less areo, number 2 the calipers disc's beefed up hubs and wheel weight 0.5kg more if your not racing in the uci your bike can be well under 6.9kg with rim brake. And number 3 is brake lock ups due to , too much power for a 25mm tire if you have to panic break you are probably going to lock up and possibly crash. Also roter rub can happen after heavy braking in the middle of a race even with a well maintained pro bike. But that's my opinion please tell me why you like disc I'm interested know?
Can’t decide what surprised me the most. Ollies accent free german or that he holds up a small box and assumes we think its a pregnancy test. Absolute legend 😄
I think saddles (or at least bases) can be made from recycled carbon fibers. I'd also like to see a modular system that allows you to swap out the top padding and cover as it wears out.
@@izi941 that's true. But touch wood I'm yet to have too much pressure applied to tyre leavers when using. I mostly support the idea and action of less waste/pollution 😀
I loved the section about 3D titanium bikes. I hope it becomes so affordable that carbon although cool, get replaced. Because titanium is recyclable. And just as light as carbon fiber.
3D frames are certainly cool and innovative and simply incredible, and surely so much more, yet I hope the bike marketplace always has a place for hand-crafted frames of tubes and such. No knock on printed anything, just that so many frames are true works of art, even the scratched and scuffed ones from epic rides and adventures.
Great to see someone actually trying to recycle carbon... But there will be a lot of carbon levers from all rim brake frames the industry is forcing us to ditch... Nice Cipo Dolomia RB
Excellent stuff. I hope you're right about 3D printed titanium. The cost will need to come down a lot but Ti is by far my favorite frame material. It's very disappointing how un-recyclable carbon fiber is. I'm glad that more and more companies are using Fusion Fibre's thermoplastic composites are picking up steam. It's not the ultimate answer but it's much better than just chucking it in a landfill. Have you heard of anyone making 3D printed titanium wheels? I have not but I'd be very curious if you all have. Ollie is a rare gem. Glad to see his ASBO tag got removed.
Don’t get too carried away with 3D printed Titanium. Yes you can create some interesting shapes and profiles, but as someone else here commented, the testing of strength and durability of 3D printed titanium has a long long way to go.
Very ingenious idea from Fusion to recycle carbon fibre which actually has an enormous impact. I've been studying carbon fibres this year, and I had to create prismatic and flat components : every time you need plastic bags, teflon tapes etc... which YOU CAN'T RE-USE. That's very clever from them because it's a quite small piece, and this could be game-changing but it's still very expensive...
It sounds like that's not really recycled carbon they're using sadly, bit of a misnomer. Sounds like they're just using chopped fibers from offcuts etc. but not fibers which were previously laminated and cured with epoxy and then recycled. The only somewhat novel thing seems to be that they're using nylon as the matrix for the chopped fibers, haven't seen that anywhere else. Manufacturing CF parts from chopped fibers in a pressure molding process is nothing new. Shimano for example has been doing it for years for their shift/brake levers Ultegra and up, and for some derailleur parts, just with normal epoxy instead of nylon.
TITANIUM, I've been riding titanium for fifteen years including my TT bike. The 3D printed one at the show is fantastic, I want one, but a bit out of my price range for now.
It used to be you could go down to your small local bike shop and buy any part needed to replace or fix your bike. They did not have to stock much either for this to happen. Now it is a waste of my time going to the bike shop asking for a part, "we'll have to order that", what are they ordering, a 9 speed chain and a 11-32 9 speed cassette. "hey, do you have any 9 speed rear derailleurs"? Nope, have to order that too. Downtube friction shifters were fast and accurate once you learned the skill. Hubs, rims, chains, shifters, brakes, cranks, bottom brackets, tires, stems, pedals with toe clips, handlebars; all fit almost all bikes the same, and freewheels could be built up to ANY gear ratio you desired. I was never without a part, and did not have to stock them at home like I do today. Here is a short list of improvements of bikes in the last 50 years: 1) Aluminum mainframe with steel curved rake fork. (Although strait blade forks have ruined this). 2) Mountain bikes. But the tires should have always been 3 inches wide from the beginning, no suspension. 3) Disc brakes. NOT hydraulic. 4) Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires, the only tires on the market that would pass DOT testing for safety. 5) Lower gearing, 22-32-42 cranksets with 175mm arms is a huge improvement for tall road riders in the mountains. 6) Cut out seats, I use the separated left right seats, they are perfect for all the road body positions from upright to full aerobar aerodynamic. 7) Aero-bars with flat-bars and bar extensions. (They finally got the aerobars correct with tall risers for your forearms. Only took 35 years). Extreme comfort, many positions. 8) 10 speed cassettes are the ultimate in making one gear setup for 99% of riders IF they would get the ratio correct. Better than the 5 or 6 cogs of the past. 9) Clipless pedals. A gigantic leap in pedals over toe-clips. 10) Braze-ons. Lots of on frame mounting points and housing positioning. 11) Plastic water bottle cages. No more aluminum rubbing off on the bottles for a black mess. That's it, nothing else improved and most everything else got much worse.
Hey GCN tech team, you should do a video explaining the differences between a 3D printed titanium frame and a frame made out of standard titanium tubing. Since the 3D one is made from titanium powder (I assume but there again, how are they making it stick together…?), the behaviour of the metal under load and stress must be different than the standard titanium no?
Great video! But you should know that Carbon fiber is more recyclable than you think. I’ve seen a video where the put a damaged bicycle frame through a machine that burns off the epoxy. Carbon fiber can handle very high temperatures so it’s easy to burn off the bonding agents without damaging the fibers. What remains can be processed into unidirectional mat and used again.
Ollie should have covered the Cipollini wearing a white tank top in honor of the wife-beater. Class-act GCN...not only covering Cipillini bikes, but also headlining them. 😂
It's so baller to have an ruthlessly ultralight bike setup that probably took a year to develop and then have a thick ass lacquer coat over the whole thing.
This highlights for me the sustainability issue with cycling. Great for the environment if you’re replacing car journeys with cycling, but not good if you’re on a carbon fibre bike for recreation.
Ollie, I hate to rain on your 3d printing fandom but it isn't all roses. Ti powder is very expensive (4-10x the price of wrought products) and it has very limited reusability. Another issue is that the properties of the from won't be known until you make one and then destroy it in testing. The properties (strength, stiffness, and fatigue) will be different in each section of the frame. And if you print in a different model of printer the properties will change again. I can see printing head, seat, and crank junctions and them connecting them with tubes. Making shaped tubes is simple compared to 3d printing. You would lower cost and get superior properties.
Target Composites in Cheshire UK have been producing carbon tyre levers for years as a nice sideline to their carbon repair business. Little pocket sized pieces of carbon sculpture.
last time i checked the THM SE is not a special edition, but Sine Exeptione, think because of the full carbon construction, not because of some gloss paint.
i don't get the Carbon Chainring thing. It just seems that the price is really high and the toothed portion is Alloy anyway 400 to 500 pounds for a pair........ just my opinion.
Those carbon chainrings are awesome! I do think it'd be cool if they offered them in flat aero chainrings, at least for the outside ring. Aero chainrings probably don't do a whole lot, maybe like 5w at 45kph, but they do look sick. I have an FSA Vision Trimax crankset on my bike and the gloss black, all flat outside chainring with huge white FSA VISION written on it is probably my favorite part on my bike. Also, that Cippollini rim brake bike is super nice, I didn't know there were high-end bikes still offered with those.
Ooh the Cippollini Rimini (new word)so beautiful 😍. I am also extremely interested in the titanium printed bike and would seriously like to know how good it really is. After all, it is a prototype, and as such needs to prove itself in longevity and performance. Specifically, at those kind of price points. The concept is commendable ❤
Some Continental or Procontinental teams uses their bike for that reason. They havent got that much money, to have spare bikes to all team members, and car to carry them, but disc brake wheel changes are long, so they looked for a rim brake option and found at Cipollini.
What are the weights of those chainrings? And price?🥶 I have a 50T chainring from Extralite at 68 g and haven't til now, found a carbon ring that is lighter.
3D printed Ti frames should be the future of bike frames. They're just so much nicer looking, especially with anodizing & can be so much more environmental than any carbon. They just need to be more mass-produced than they're presently.
"off cuts" carbon is not the same as recycled ? or am I wrong? Off-cut seems to be unused "trimmings" while "recycled" implies it was something before that :) sorry of semantics but well..marketing.
The thing is with 3d printing is that outside of its immense flexibility and fabrication speed per item, it’s way too slow for it to be a viable mass production system. Sure, you can stack machines in parallel, but that’s nowhere near the production rate of having an assembly line of good welders churn out ti frames. I know it’s very different use cases, but I know just how much of a difference it is to spend the time to make the tooling for a process than to just toss it in a printer
would a bike like that Cipollini creak? not crazy amount of power put down, but would an ultra-carbon build just naturally begin to creak? 1-year on, perhaps?
The Cipollini rim brake bike is my favorite. I think you meant to say direct mount brakes. Those tire levers are way overpriced. Short strand carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic is not that expensive.
I'm in the market for a rear light after driving during the day and having the flashing rear light of a cyclist catch my attention. Having one conveniently stuck under a seat seems pretty cool.
Am I the only one confused that road gears are moving into the 48 territory while TT cranks are getting even larger? I mean I thought that the debate was over with the standard Vs compact crankset
Yeah nice but 3D printing won't save the polar bears at all. The material and waste handling costs are just too high. The waste titanium powder from the process can ignite, as can the filters which have to be replaced frequently. The technology is just not really scalable right now.
Agree, printing technology is bright, if they make multi material printing too itll be great, where you can print circuits built in to the frame, imagine just plug and play electric components like plugging usb accessories. better still make piezoelectric generator of forks and stays to generate electricity, make the bike electrical powered by self contained system. i can never make peace knowing a bike have to be "charged" to work.

I'm in the market for a rear light after driving during the day and having the flashing rear light of a cyclist catch my attention. Having one conveniently stuck under a seat seems pretty cool.
go varia w/radar
Ollie is getting wildly animated these days, he's straight going to turn into a caricature.
Am I the only one confused that road gears are moving into the 48 territory while TT cranks are getting even larger? I mean I thought that the debate was over with the standard Vs compact crankset
Yeah nice but 3D printing won't save the polar bears at all. The material and waste handling costs are just too high. The waste titanium powder from the process can ignite, as can the filters which have to be replaced frequently. The technology is just not really scalable right now.
how is 6.4kg uci legal, i thought it was 6.8kg?
I distinctly heard the sound of a fart when the video switched from the "carbon painted" cipollini to the disc brake version
disk brake due to utility viability ,use and life titanium carbon nano / shear glass diamond carbon nano
Agree, printing technology is bright, if they make multi material printing too itll be great, where you can print circuits built in to the frame, imagine just plug and play electric components like plugging usb accessories. better still make piezoelectric generator of forks and stays to generate electricity, make the bike electrical powered by self contained system. i can never make peace knowing a bike have to be "charged" to work.
Who knows what cool things we'll see in the next few years!
bro its a trike ❤❤❤❤
Rim brake... Always.
