I've learned a lot from Dylan. I spent a lot of time recovering last year from a bunch of health issues and surgeries...Watched a lot of RUclips videos :) I wasn't working and rode my bike back to health and better fitness I've had in years using training principles gleaned from Dylan. Backwards hat Dylan can't be overlooked as well, LOL.
I love GCN content including all their race coverage. I know a lot of people pile on about them but listening to Durianrider, Hambini or Chris Horner for any period of time is mind numbing!
Well said. Spot on! No disrespect to Dylan or Roadman, but GCN covers a lot of ground, and it's informative and entertaining and not at all hard sell. All the unnecessary swearing and arrogant attitudes put me off Hambini and Durian Rider. On the flip side, the Nero Show and the Wild ones are reliably listenable. Peak Torque and China Cycling also seem pretty balanced. Cheers
Dylan is great, like a journalist presenting the scientific studies as well as his own thoughts. And backwards-hat-guy is always there to keep things "real".
I don't race and only started riding bikes again (after 18 years of trail running) last year, but really enjoy DJ's channel and content! Lots of interesting perspectives, research and science.
4:02 this is absolutely true. Which is what is called researching with an n of 1. In other words, does it work for me. But the meta analysis drives it.
Awesome vid. By the way... Sponsors should really get on board with this stuff because I just saved a mucoff bam tab that prior to this I never have heard before.
Same thing applies on getting a bike at 8kg vs 7kg. To be honest, being one of those bigger guys I would feel a little more confident with the heavier frame, as regards rigidity and power transfer.
Thanks for checking it out. We’re popular on podcast platforms but just getting started with RUclips. Going to do one full length interview per week on here now. Glad to have you along for the ride. Anthony
I wonder if the banning of aerobars had a lot to do with keeping the field together for management purposes and maybe the marketing optics where the slower people wouldn't feel so offput by the discrepancy in times.
Had the is there much point to a gravel bike in the UK discussion with a former club colleague recently. Verdict was an emphatic no at least if not racing & just general riding. A hardtail with a dedicated extra set of wheels with skinny tyres was the recommendation. Many road frames come with decent clearance these days, so a bit of equivalent conversion with an extra set of wheels is an option. Like Dylans stuff, as an ex racer with a biological sciences background and nerdy outlook myself.
I mean I see your point but some of the roads I ride are shocking. I'm not racing and rides are far more enjoyable on my gravel bike. My hard tail is too slow, and if I want to send it down the trails I'll go mountain biking.
@@zoid88 Agreed to a point. Road frames certainly at mid-range have evolved naturally into more of a all-rounder set up since disc brakes became the norm. Many club riders I see now are riding frames with a relaxed geometry and clearance for at least 32mm and in many cases 40mm tyres e.g. Ribble CGR. It's a matter of an additional set of wheels unless you want to go pure gravel with a 1x setup.
Dylan produces really valuable content!!! Congratulations Dylan! GCN was good a long long time ago... When it started, know was bought by the industry and basically produces poop...
what about chain wax with graphene? I got a bottle (still waiting for arrival) of a brand called Klein and I wonder if Dylan has heard about it. It allegedly helps reducing the friction of the chain, so you save watts
I’m all for aero bars on every bike however I feel like road racing gravel racing is a group race and I think it’s dangerous because you are in a group without access to the brakes not because people can’t handle their bikes with them on it. You don’t show up to a road ride with a tri bike. I do think riding solo or doing an fkt they def make sense.
Would you ever consider to provide a transcript?... Actually I'm quite interested in this one but 45 minutes is a huge commitment, the problem is video/podcast you can't really "skim". I could finish this one in maybe 5 minutes in general and maybe few more minutes into where I want a closer look, but it's just impossible with audio....
That story about blocking the singletrack was cringe-inducing. I listened because I'm a Dylan fan and am training for my first gravel race. Even I know not to do that. Forcing more skilled riders to make dangerous passes is inexcusable.
This single track thing is the one reason I don't find MTB races all that interesting. A race where you can't overtake others half the time just seems so nonsensical. Just make it a time trial at that point.
Love Dylan, he has been my go to cycling marginal gains Guru for the last five years 👍🏻
Same, Dylan's the best

Dylan is great. Love his approach and unbiased presentation.
As a host, you are smashing it man... your questions / talking points are so well prepared ! Well done man
!!!!!
Dylan is great, also because he knows what a systematic review and meta-analysis is, so he grasps the concept of "totality of evidence."
I love that Dylan also links the studies for you to read and draw conclusions along with him

The best podcast on the planet ❤
Much appreciated Jeremy, thanks for tuning in
Dylan is the real deal!
Thanks for having him. 👍
Damn, this was easily the best discussion I've heard on your pod so far.
4:02 this is absolutely true. Which is what is called researching with an n of 1. In other words, does it work for me. But the meta analysis drives it.
Two of my favorite bike-men! Thanks for this video guys!
Awesome vid. By the way... Sponsors should really get on board with this stuff because I just saved a mucoff bam tab that prior to this I never have heard before.
Slower riders tend to be bigger , higher bmi so the bike aero savings are not only negated by their much larger body drag coefficient

Don't feel bad Dylan until you start dominating races 😊
First time I clicked on an ad and liked it

Hard tail and a spare set of wheels for the win
I mean I see your point but some of the roads I ride are shocking. I'm not racing and rides are far more enjoyable on my gravel bike. My hard tail is too slow, and if I want to send it down the trails I'll go mountain biking.

Been really enjoying your interviews, love your style!!!
Go Dylan
Thanks for tuning in. The goal is to drop one new full length episode each week. If you enjoyed it please subscribe

Dylan is a Top Man
Dylan is the man
great interview!
Really enjoyed this one

Wide 47 tires, low pressure.. tire inserts!?!?!!! They'll burn you at the stake for that blasphemy!

Hi Anthony, any plans for a RAS dedicated podcast ? would love that
Hey David, I put out a podcast on spotify & apple about my power numbers this morning. I'll have a think about a youtube version.
Pleased to see Dylan on the podcast. I've always liked his review of the scientific literature in his videos.

nice one
Cheers Roman, really enjoyed this one. Have some big ones coming in the next few weeks so watch this space
You may not be on the podium but you're definitely in the breakaway
Muc-Off _Wet Lube_ is the worst.....awful stuff.
You’d trust Chris froome on a gravel bike on gravel with aero bars…??!
fair point 😂
Dylan's sick
Perhaps the RnD AND the marketing necessary to overcome the “SRAM makes shit chains” stigma would cost more money than producing shit chains saves.
I think your scepticism towards aero claims should probably have been directed towards Muc Off.
*slurps McFlurry, nods head yes on low density natural foods 😂
👏👏
Dylan doesn't ride in a flat terrain in NC.
Your videos 📹 are well done and great guests. 👍 🎉🎉
Love this and your Greg LeMond video was outstanding, have watched it x2 and shared it x5 🎉🎉🎉
Appreciate it
Gravel bike in a wind tunnel. That’s where I turned it off.
Specialized marketing claims are only as true as their legal team can spend of defense
If you want to keep the spirit of biking then don’t race!
That story about blocking the singletrack was cringe-inducing. I listened because I'm a Dylan fan and am training for my first gravel race. Even I know not to do that. Forcing more skilled riders to make dangerous passes is inexcusable.
Mountain bikers are Kamikaze experts. The more dangerous the pass the more thrill they get out of it!
They’ll take you out if you don’t watch out!
Honestly? Does that mean you usually lie so you must announce "honestly" before speaking the truth?

Zero Friction Cycling - don't believe his 'work' is peer reviewed.
wait, the ostro has 45 clearance, how can it be 47? maybe they fit if there's absolutely no mud?
Oh Jeez another super doper? I think this new breed are all on the Ferrari mix.......
