      Jesse Härkönen It costs as much a brand new mid-range car. You’ll also have to imagine that he would have bought at tested, via trial and error, many components before deciding on the final setup.

    For anyone interested... according to the Sheldon Brown site.. a 60 up front with a 17 in the back (middle cog on an 11-28) at 90 rpm is just shy of 25 mph. 100 rpms is just shy of 28 mph.

    • @mattbottrill
      @mattbottrill 6 лет назад +27

      Yes my optimal cadence is around 85-90 . One of my plans is to try and break my 50mile record of 1:34:43 so I might need the extra gear for this. I also plan on doing a few team relays so will change the gearing on the front for this. That's the great part about etap.

    • @ericoschmitt
      @ericoschmitt 6 лет назад +4

      Why would you run a cassette like that instead of 12-25? I bet the closer gaps give you a lot of benefit.
      Maybe a bigger ring with 14-28 ultegra junior cassette, yet closer ratios. EDCO makes 14-25 too, miche makes custom...
      Have you tried shorter crankarms too?
      Oh, and covering bolts with tapes is uci illegal AFAIK

    • @thecyclingmaker
      @thecyclingmaker 6 лет назад +1

      Large chainring and a more central cog on the rear cassette keeps the chain in line and improves efficiency.
      In the UK Time Trials are run under the rules of the CTT (national governing body) not UCI rules.

    • @henryjacobsen6873
      @henryjacobsen6873 6 лет назад +2

      what is the max rpms a human can do. Me and my friend were at the gym and were fooling around on a stationary bike machine. We both got around 166 rpm, on level 8 intensity. Just wondering if this translates to cycling. Thanks!

    • @ericoschmitt
      @ericoschmitt 6 лет назад

      I know, that's not my point. The point is if his most used cog is 17 he has 2t gap both ways, and probably doesn't even use the smallest cog. A 12-25 cassette adds both 16 and 18 cog, so there's better cadence tuning, and the 17t cog will be in the exact same place.

    @sasun636 6 лет назад +6

    The new Shimano TT shifters actually use synchro shift which means all the buttons control both derailleurs. The front shifts when it needs to. Shifters wise it works like a one by system. The right hand switches to a harder gear and the left to a lower gear both on the aero bars and the base bar.

    • @markthrelfall3577
      @markthrelfall3577 6 лет назад +3

      Sasu N this has already been answered below. The software can be customised for di2. They have programmed it so the shifters on the poles change the rear mech, and the shifters on the bullhorns change the front mech

      wonje han with a 11-28 cassette especially. 60-11 sounds like a monster gear, at 90 rpm you would be reaching 61-62kph. Even 60-12 is a bigger gear than 53-11 (it's equivalent to 55-11). At the other end of the spectrum 60-28 is roughly equivalent to 34-16, 36-17 or 39-18. Definitely not something you'd use on 10% and above gradients 😱

It costs me $10,000 just to make a clear comparison, this bike is the latest frame (more expensive), got Higher Groupset got Discwheel too. More likely this costs $3000-$3500 more than mine. a total of $13,00-$13,500 but that is just a minimal guess. It could be higher.

    I wonder when is he going to use the 11 tooth cog with the 60t ring because at 90 rpm he would be like 102 kmh.. Never seen a triathlon bike move that fast. Didn't understand the chain line explanation either, viewed from above, the chain line would be basically the same if he used a 53t ring. Maybe the bigger ring creates less friction in the chain, can't see other reason for that choice

    • @Albschmidt
      @Albschmidt 6 лет назад +1

      Because it allows him to use cogs in the middle of the cassette (e.g., 60x17) instead of the smallest cogs on the cassette (e.g., 53x11). This keeps the chain running in a straight line (when viewed from the top) and also means the chain does not have to make a tight turn around an 11-tooth cog (when viewed from the side). So it actually reduces drive-train friction in two ways!

      Because of ancient politics, the vast majority of TT's in the UK (and there are a lot of them!) are run under the umbrella of Cycling Time Trials (CTT) and not British Cycling. CTT is not affiliated to the UCI and so don't use their regulations - CTT regs are a bit less restrictive, hence Matt can use the tri bike in CTT TTs. The British TT champion is the person that wins British Cycling's annual champs and the distance varies from year to year. The CTT runs annual championships at 10, 25, 50 and 100 miles, and 12 and 24 hours: www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/articles/view/147

      Jerry Young all I can think of is that the enve rear wheel may be just slightly narrower than his disc and it's more aero to run the 23

      Hi Jerry its down to the profile of the rims and the width of the tyres. The fastest combination is getting the profiles to match.

    Really, up to a fairly significant point the equipment weighs less than the athlete. And, with bicycles, the fuel question weighs in: popcorn vs. bodyfat? What fuel do you use?

    Why does it go so far forward on the bars? shoulders look very hunched up and painful, a little bit more stretched out would be go no ?

    • @rugbyjc240
      @rugbyjc240 6 лет назад +1

      I think if you’re too stretched out, the handling can get very twitchy so that might be why. Plus being tucked right in is bound to make the frontal area smaller too. Maybe if he was more stretched out, he’d have to use his core muscles more to support his weight which isn’t ideal

    • @mattbottrill
      @mattbottrill 6 лет назад +2

      Hi Kumer, Its individual to the rider. Every athlete is different. But shoulders and head postion are a key factor of going fast. I've had years of practicing but over time you can adapt. But for me its not painful.
