Try the Assiomas! I had a 4iiii PM and got rid of it within a month it was so inconsistent / unreliable. Got the Favero duos instead and haven’t looked back! They’re incredible. Very nicely designed with the magnetic charging too. Easy to use.
I have the opposite experience :( Every known good power meter, dual or single sided show me the same watts as my wahoo bike. Except assiomas. 2 pairs of them show 10 watts less on left side than on right. Funny thing is Garmin, Wahoobike, Quarq, P2M all show double right side which tells me Assioma left side is wrong. I have no injuries and have always been 50/50 or 49/51 for my left right according to all versions of garmin power meters. Favero thinks I'm 44/56 except when I'm standing up. Then it matches watts with my P2m and shows 50/50. Unlucky batch of assiomas I guess...
Concerning the powermeter: I can highly recommend the assioma favero pm pedals. I have been using them I had never any problems. The seem to be very accurate. And you can charge them and dont need to buy fancy batteries like with the vectors.
@@mydearriley Late reply on this, sorry mate. I love the Wahoo phone app and phone integration, and they just work continually. I've had very few issues. Having said this I will be getting a solar Garmin unit for ultra racing.
Every crank based power meter on shimano cranks up until the newest generation has been inaccurate because the asymmetrical design makes it nearly impossible to measure strain on them accurately. The new shimano cranks are symmetrical and stages have produced an accurate power meter on them, something that shimano themselves are still incapable of.
Beautiful ride, and awesome upgrades. I just received my Teammachine SLR 01 One and I'm absolutely in love with it. Looking forward to add those ceramic speed pulleys you showed in here.
Great bike. I have the 2022 Roadmachine 01 Three. I have the same size ERC DT Swiss but the steel ball bearings. Great wheels. World’s best. I couldn’t be happier. Best paint job. Quality bike. I’m happy every time I ride. I’m the only person in the US that has the 61cm frame. Congratulations.
my sons bike runs oversize jockey wheels and eliptical chainrings...Yep! Shimano knew what they were doing in the 1990s with Altus and Biopace 😁....truly ahead of their time 👍
Really good indepth review The handlebars I personally prefer the wider red version on your ohter bike I normally run a 42mm CtoC many moons ago i had a set 40mm CC which i couldnt get used to too narrow handling was very scary cornering went back to 42cc and presto handling was once again great Have a good 2023
When you're ready to throw on your fast tires think about the kinda Valkyrie TRL pros I've got them on my KHS team bike running some vision metron 55 and they are absolutely perfect. They run slightly narrower from the factory, and are very very fast rolling with great puncture resistance the grip in the wet is amazing as well they give you that perfect u shape and the dry grip is phenomenal coming from somebody who's normally running GP 5000s or Schwabe one's the kendas are phenomenal.
Hey mate, yeah absolutely. They took me a couple of weeks to get used to, but now i'm used to them I wouldn't go back at all. Especially as a smaller rider.
Glad it was helpful man! I’m looking forward to trying them in summer down some huge alpine descents, but given I’m 62kg and currently riding in cold weather, I’m not exactly testing the “heat reductive qualities” to the fullest extent right now.
I just bought this exact iteration of the SLR01 ONE (stock). I got a great deal on it and didn't want to wait for the Teammachine R to come out. After riding this bike for almost a year now what do you like best about it?
Stages for me has been great in the last 4 yrs that i've run them. But accuracy really depends on left/right balance. My right leg has always been my dominant leg so I assume it is as well on the bike. If that's true then its under-reading. Would be good to have power on both cranks so I actually know.
Absolutely. It’s a video I’ve been needing and wanting to make and just keep putting it off. Now I’ve got the two wheelsets it’s the right chance to compare them.
Thanks man 🙏🏼Tubolito’s are very very light but cost 1-2w in rolling efficiency. To me the ~60-80g weight saving over regular tubes for that 1-2w is worth it though. Might set the bike up tubeless in future though.
Which handlebar do you have on your bike? K-Edge make a good mount with GoPro attachment if you have a regular round handlebar, or if you've got the BMC integrated handlebar it can be ordered from a BMC dealer.
That is/was probably the best explanation I’ve heard for adding a CeramicSpeed oversized pulley, especially considering the number of naysayers about them… btw you’ve got do something about the background shots of the hillsides and views, they’re atrocious… lol… I’ll be out there this summer to see this stuff for myself… 😂🍻
Hey Tristan, love the videos, looking forward to watching your 2023 unfold. In a montage you showed a clip with a handlebar bag on your bike. Can you indicate the bag brand and model? Enjoy your festive period & training in the Northern Hemisphere Winter, and catch you in the next video.
Thanks for the informative video. I am wondering about the wear on the AbsoluteGraphene Pads. I am not entirely happy with the Shimano resin pads that came on my current bike.
I haven’t yet, although I’ve got a set from AbsoluteBlack that would work on this crankset, so I might give them a try just to see what they feel like. Have you tried them?
im sure the dt swiss wheels are amazing, would be cool to have lightweight disc wheels on there for ultimate light weight, yeah 50 mil is ideal, 60s are scary in the wind if its truly windy
Hey man, thanks! I’m 172cm, but have a very short saddle height for my height (68.5cm). I think 165’s are great for anyone with a saddle height below 70cm but it’s always worth doing lots of research and potentially speaking to a bike fitter for their opinion as well.
Hey Jeremy, no I've always run a 120mm stem on my BMC's, however there's a subtle length difference between the two different integrated front end options. Not enough to need to size down though.
Bike looks so good mate. Well deserved. I wish these bars had of been available when i had mine, i found it the only drawback, i was used to 36cm bars so trying to get used to the 40's which where only available at the time just didn't feel right. Narrower bars are the way to go, you will love them, i have never looked back. I might have to buy myself another one now !😂
Cheers dude. Yeah for us smaller riders narrower bars are definitely a requirement. I got used to the 40’s eventually but the difference in speed bringing my hands in by 40mm is wild..so, so noticeable. Cannot wait to get the deep wheels and skinsuit on for some long range solo attacks this summer.
Why not have the deep section wheel on the back and low section on front for training??? Should give you more speed whilst not being effected by cross winds so much.
Ever thought about trying Speed Play pedals? I recently changed from Shimano and have found them to be great so far. They have some power meter pedals that get good reviews. Might be worth a look.
Happy New Year! Love your photos & happy to see 365 returning!! About the Ceramic speed oversized pulley & hairpin turn analogy.... I'm thinking if that was true none should use a 11 tooth cog on cassette 😉
Thanks Mike, happy new year to you too 🙏🏼 You’re right..the 11T on the cassette is by far the least efficient and most energy-sapping of all the gears for exactly the same reason. Half to do with the chain-line and half to do with how tightly the chain has to wrap to get around it.
@@tristantakevideo Yeah Tristan, I find the bars too slippery without the tape when riding puppy paws but concede you may not have this issue. I also like to have a bit of padding under there for long stints in this position, each to their own however.
I had some Dura-Ace for about 3 years and they were great. They started creaking though and I never got them serviced. But I should..shaving those few grams off again would be nice.
If you go ceramic, go all the way. If you only do the bb or pulley wheels it won’t give you the results you’re looking for. But in the end it costs a lot for a “minor “ upgrade in performance.
Not sure if this comment is directed at me or people reading in general, but yes, I agree..one or the other is not the same as doing both at the same time.
The OSPW - I’m not convinced it makes you faster. You may well notice the smoothness but I’m yet to be convinced that smoothness translates to a tangible speed increase. Just my opinion mind Either way, very nice bike
Yes nobody actually buys these overpriced pully wheels except Instagram cyclists. it's never been proven they actually make you faster. If it were the case the pros would be using them, don't they? Since he gets this shit for free he can't say anything negative about it. Bike looks nice tho.
Michael Smith - Firstly, two World Tour teams use CeramicSpeed. Secondly, I personally know a number of World Tour riders who have bought their own CeramicSpeed to use at World Champs when not being obligated to ride team equipment. Don’t get your panties in a knot over equipment you don’t need to buy yourself. And the dig at me about the “instagram cyclist” isn’t necessary..I guarantee I’ve won more races than you’ve finished, mate.
@@tristantakevideo There were pro teams who used oval chainrings too, but they were also unproven to have any power/speed benefit. As I said, I get the smoothness claim. I'd even understand a claim that they make your chain last longer. But an actual speed increase? Nah You do you though. If it works for you then sweet. That's all that matters really
It's amazing that although the 50mm deep wheels are "undeniably faster", Luke Plapp chose to run 35mm deep wheels to win the Australian Road champs. I wonder why..
@@tristantakevideo Why would that one race be different? Although at a constant speed on the flat in the wind a deep section may be faster, when you add in accelerations and riding in the wheels it's a far less clear picture, that's even before you take into account hills. Also, when you say when you get them up to speed you can feel it holds the speed, the difference is around 15 watts, which is like pulling your elbows in by 2 inches, can you really feel the difference in speed when you pull your elbows in 2 inches?
Look up who won nationals 12 months ago and what depth of rim he was riding to answer your first question. One race isn’t a good metric to judge something by. Then re-read your first comment, followed by your last comment and try to come up with a clear argument. On one hand you’re inferring I’m wrong for saying 50mm rims are faster, and on the other you’re saying “they are faster but…”. If you need more proof, have a look at every race win (pro or amateur) for the last 5 years and let me know what rim depth is most consistently getting across the line first. Hint: it ain’t 35mm… And finally, the last comment is a joke right? I spend a third of this video talking about the bars allowing me to bring my hands and elbows in by a couple of inches and how that saves a huge amount of effort. 15 watts is 4% of my FTP…do you know what amount of training people do (myself included) in order to gain 4% on their FTP?
Definitely do not get Garmin based power meter, it’s not reliable and mega expensive. I too had started with left crank based power meter, mine read too high! I got favero Assiomas for shimano pedals because it’s got longer axles and ima big boy who needs that extra wide stance. Otherwise get the normal ones and never look back! Cheers mate
I’ve been running the vector 2’s for years and can’t fault them. If you think a left side PM is running too high or low, it’s more than likely from a L/R imbalance.
eat the best you can, as clean as you can, do lots of stretching, meditating to open the chakras, be celibate and retain all sexual energy and train smart, thats only way to get a v12
HI, QUICK-ISH MOAN OUT OF BUDDY LOVE & CONCERN FOR YOU;-). I NOTICED YOU RIDE HANDS FREE!!. PLEASE NEVER DO THIS!!.. I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO CRASH AND I HAD SOME VERY SCARY COMPLICATIONS WITH TRAPPED NERVES THAT PREVENTED RESTFUL SLEEP FOR WEEKS, EQUALING A TYPE OF TORTURE THAT DEVELOPED DEEP PANIC & ANXIETY ATTACKS, AND STILL REMAIN A BIT YEARS LATER, AND A BROKEN HIP WHEN I FELL UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DOING SPEED SKATING CROSS OVERS ON A HIGH G-FORCE CORNER. I HAD TO WAIT 2 WEEKS IN HOSPITAL AGED 39 IF I NEEDED A HIP REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE BLOOD VESSELS AROUND THE JOINT BEING DISRUPTED, THIS WAS A TOTAL SHOCK TO ME THAT COULD EVEN HAPPEN BEING VERY FIT: RESTING HR 34 BPM/ BLOOD PRESSURE 112/68/ BIKE FTP 325 AGED 39 /1200 WATTS MAX POWER USING STAGES CRANK METER / CYCLING VO2 MAX 61/ 120KG DEAD-LIFT SESSIONS, I FELT INDESTRUCTIBLE BEFORE THE DIAGNOSIS, HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO (ME) CLASSIC HUMAN NAIVE HUBRIS SYNDROME. LUCKILY I ONLY NEEDED A METAL PLATE WHICH GOT ME LIMPING AROUND WITHIN DAYS. BUT A REAL WAKE UP CALL AT WHAT CAN GO WRONG..THE SURGEON SAID HE ASSUMED IT WAS A CAR CRASH THE INJURY WAS SO BAD WHILE CONFIRMING I DID HAVE DENSE STRONG BONES. WE FEEL INVINCIBLE UNTIL WE EXPERIENCE A CRASH THAT DEMONSTRATES WE CAN BE OFF THE BIKE FOR GOOD OR EVEN IN THE MORGUE. I KNOW YOU'RE COMPETENT AND SAFE OVERALL, BUT REALLY (PLEASE) NO MORE HANDS FREE RIDING, IT SIMPLY ISN'T WORTH TEMPTING A RAISED CRASH PROBABILITY. AND I AM SURE YOU KNOW WE LIVE IN A UNIVERSE GOVERNED BY QUANTUM PROBABILITIES WHICH WE ARE ALL VULNERABLE TO. DON'T MAKE THE ODDS GO AGAINST YOU BY OFFERING THE BETTER LIKELIHOOD OF A PROBABLE BUMP IN THE ROAD, OR AN UNEXPECTED DISTRACTION THAT TURNS YOUR HANDLEBARS WHILE YOU ARE HANDS FREE. I AM 52 NOW AND STILL HAVE A 35-42 BPM RESTING HEART RATE, NOT SO STRONG BUT AS FIT AS CAN BE;-) I CAN CONFIRM AS WE GET OLDER WE LEARN NOT TO TAKE THE UNNECESSARY RISKS THAT WE SOMETIMES LEARNED THE HARD WAY (AKA ME IN THE PAST) IN OUR DESIRE FOR ADRENALINE & EXCITEMENT, IT'S HARD AT TIMES I KNOW THE MOMENT TAKES US OVER, AND OUR CONFIDENCE ONLY ENCOURAGES US MORE. BOTTOM-LINE, THE AIM IS TO STAY INJURY FREE, AND ON THE BIKE TILL OUR LAST DAY ON EARTH;-) AND THAT MEANS KEEPING YOUR HANDS FULLY IN CONTROL OF YOUR BIKE 100% OF THE TIME IF POSSIBLE. I WOULD BE REMISS IN NOT CONVEYING MY EXPERIENCES IF IT HAS EVEN A 1% CHANCE OF KEEPING YOU OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE BIKE AND NOT IN HOSPITAL WAITING TO FIND OUT IF YOU'LL LOSE YOUR HIP JOINT AFTER AN INNOCENT TRAINING RIDE, OR IN MY CASE A SPEED SKATE SESSION WHICH RESULTED IN 4 YEARS AND TWO BIG OPERATIONS GOING BY BEFORE MY BODY WAS FREE OF THE METAL PLATE AND CLOSE TO OLD RACE PERFORMANCES. BUT THE SCAR IS FOR GOOD, AND MY LEFT LEG WILL NEVER BE AS STRONG OR AS SUPPLE DUE TO THE INTERNAL SCAR TISSUE FROM THE SCALPEL GOING IN TWICE, WHICH NOBODY CONSIDERS INCLUDING ME, PLUS ADDED TO ALL THAT I BROKE MY LEFT SHOULDER JOINT IN THE SAME FREAK ACCIDENT, AND NOW THE NOT SO PROUD OWNER OF TWO PERMANENT METAL SCREWS IN MY SHOULDER JOINT, MOVING ME ONE STEP CLOSER TO BEING THE TERMINATOR, HA. SO SERIOUSLY, BE WARNED - NO HANDS FREE FOR YOUR OWN SAKE OR ANYONE ELSE'S, AND DON'T FORGET THE STRESS IT PUTS ON OUR PARENTS.
Thanks for such a concerned message John..it sounds like you’ve been through a lot. I’m definitely not aiming to have any incidents and have long accepted the risks that come with riding. I don’t generally ride without hands unless I’m confident it’s safe or I know the road well. But I appreciate the reminder. Stay safe and healthy mate 🙏🏼
Adds skinny aero bars, ruins the aerodynamics by adding a lumpy computer in front.🙄 High time manufacturers addressed this by intergrating the computer into the stem and strip LED lights into the leading edge of the bar and rear of the seat post. It's crazy that so much effort is put into making frames aero then making it so that riders are forced to ruin all of those clean lines by adding lights, computers, bottles and pumps. UCI need to reconsider the ruling around fairing of ancillary fixtures.
ceramic speed system is predominately smoke and mirrors and the performance value doesn't not outweigh the price tag - I'ts industry bullshit i'm afraid. Don't believe me, just speak to Paul Lew one of the finest aerodynamicist wheel builders
Little bit confused by this comment. Are you saying if it was free it would be worth using, but because it costs money it’s not? And then you’re saying not to believe you. And then you’re saying I should speak with a wheel builder about drivetrain efficiency?
dont forget to upgrade the engine to a v12, be completely celibete on semen retention long term, and you will be stronger than ever, throwing away sexual energy is like downgrading the engine to a v6
RUclips is turning into one big infomercial for brands...from autos to motorcycles to bicycles to high end watches whereby channels are given products to promote. Sorry, I find it both distasteful and disingenuous. Are you an ardent and decent cyclist? Yes. You certanly look fit. Are you a pro? No. How many different brands are successfully raced in the pro peloton? Several. Does BMC make a good bike? Yes. Does BMC have great value? No. Cost/benefit, pretty much anybody is as fast on a Giant TCR with cheap mechanical groupset and decent carbon wheels. Integrated handlebars suck on many levels but yours are narrow and look to be aero so I am sure slippery as you say. If you load up a bike with all ceramic bearings you are given to promote are they faster? Maybe a watt in aggregate but very little ROI for the weekend warrior. Tires matter as much or more which can be put on any bike. A summary. BMC this. BMC that. BMC this. BMC that. Nobody cares. A slippery 'very expensive' roadbike you were 'given' to promote. Any rider that can put out 10 more watts than you for your same size small body will be faster on several bikes that cost 1/2 as much. The fastest guy at the group ride or the crit is the fastest guy on any bike he brings.

Ditto

Does not apply to left-only powermeters such as the Stages one that he uses.
didn't know he had a left-only, can't really expect single sided to be accurate beyond what you need for training
Beautiful ride, and awesome upgrades. I just received my Teammachine SLR 01 One and I'm absolutely in love with it. Looking forward to add those ceramic speed pulleys you showed in here.

Very true about the larger diameter jockey wheel. Same reason why it always feels weird pedaling in the smaller cogs.

I appreciate your content in 2022 and I'm looking forward to see You in 2023 specially about ultra distance and travel vlogs
Over 1,000 miles now. No issues. Great bike!
Probably the nicest paint scheme I've seen in awhile. Understated versus loud and in your face branding.
Really good indepth review The handlebars I personally prefer the wider red version on your ohter bike I normally run a 42mm CtoC many moons ago i had a set 40mm CC which i couldnt get used to too narrow handling was very scary cornering went back to 42cc and presto handling was once again great Have a good 2023

Hey Tristan, 9 months on, would you still go with the narrower 36cm aero bars or go back to the original ICS Carbon?
Hey mate, yeah absolutely. They took me a couple of weeks to get used to, but now i'm used to them I wouldn't go back at all. Especially as a smaller rider.
@tristan you are so right about the drivetrain. Totally agree and have both pulley and bb with Ceramic Speed.
Nice vídeo! Which tubolito version/size do you use on the 30mm tires? What your opinion on tubolito vs butyl and tubless?
Thanks
Ive ordered the new frame set in the new AG2R team colours the blue and red. Can’t wait.
Nice wheels but a bit narrow for me two I prefer a 23c internal with 25c clinchers. I agree with the shallow rims being better for general rides.
great rundown Tristan! Appreciate the honesty on the brake pads! I was super curious.
Glad it was helpful man! I’m looking forward to trying them in summer down some huge alpine descents, but given I’m 62kg and currently riding in cold weather, I’m not exactly testing the “heat reductive qualities” to the fullest extent right now.
This colour is so much better than the previous one!
Ha.. I was about to comment that I preferred the colour of the previous one...
Favero assioma pedals are amazing, love them and super accurate!

Will you try your New BMC with hyper wheels ? It would be interesting to have a comparison between dtswiss and hyper ...
Absolutely. It’s a video I’ve been needing and wanting to make and just keep putting it off. Now I’ve got the two wheelsets it’s the right chance to compare them.
Will be looking forward to your NYr riding on this lovely machine.
The new stages 9200 dual crankset is apparantly really good. I guess you can get the in 165 when they are in stock
for the ceramic speed rear derailleur cage, how many extra links does it require compared to the Dura-Ace jockey wheels/cage?
1-2 links from memory.
What are ur thougts about the tubolito? Are better than continental race? Why no tubeless? thx! And good luck for the season :)
Thanks man 🙏🏼Tubolito’s are very very light but cost 1-2w in rolling efficiency. To me the ~60-80g weight saving over regular tubes for that 1-2w is worth it though. Might set the bike up tubeless in future though.
You know where I can buy the accessory for the Go Pro, like your computer mount?
Which handlebar do you have on your bike? K-Edge make a good mount with GoPro attachment if you have a regular round handlebar, or if you've got the BMC integrated handlebar it can be ordered from a BMC dealer.
Great bike mate. Congratulations on the year. Loved the videos and appreciate you responding to my questions during the year. Looking forward to 2023.

I’ll try give a more thorough review of them once I’ve done a few thousand k’s in warmer weather. 🙏🏼
Beautiful bike🤤 Such a nice color scheme.
another for the Assioma. I had Stages on my last bike and put the Assiomo's on my new Wilier Rav and so much better.
I'm curious if you've ever tried asymmetric rings like q-rings and if you like them?
I haven’t yet, although I’ve got a set from AbsoluteBlack that would work on this crankset, so I might give them a try just to see what they feel like. Have you tried them?
Great run down mate on this weapon !
Yeah get some Assiomas , super accurate and reliable , and you can throw them on your 24 01 this December ✌🏻
thanks Tristan.
What kind of handlebar tape are you using? And the saddle? Tnak you
I’ve got Ergon BT Road bartape and a Fizik Arione R1 saddle
Would you consider replacing those wheels with ERC1100?
I’d be interested to give them a try, for sure. Wider seems to be the way forward.
im sure the dt swiss wheels are amazing, would be cool to have lightweight disc wheels on there for ultimate light weight, yeah 50 mil is ideal, 60s are scary in the wind if its truly windy
Nice NY gift!
Assioma Faverros. Always accurate...
Hi Tristan! Great content as usual! How tall are you? I run 170mm cranks but now you got me thinking of 165mm. Hmmmm...
Hey man, thanks! I’m 172cm, but have a very short saddle height for my height (68.5cm). I think 165’s are great for anyone with a saddle height below 70cm but it’s always worth doing lots of research and potentially speaking to a bike fitter for their opinion as well.
Assiamo pedals the way to go
Hi !
Did you change the length of the stem between stock and aero bar ?
Hey Jeremy, no I've always run a 120mm stem on my BMC's, however there's a subtle length difference between the two different integrated front end options. Not enough to need to size down though.
@@tristantakevideo Okay thanks !
And thank you for the fast response !
I think to upgrade my bike and it was a question…
Have a nice day !
@@jeremybrechbuhl1573 No problem mate, let me know if you've got any more questions! Thanks a bunch 🙏

Nice Video, wish you so much fun with the Bike.
so, are you running the 9100 cranks with a 12-speed chain and cassette? How does that work out?
Yeah I’ve been running it the last two years on two different BMC’s and had zero issues
W/ the 11 sp chainrings?
Yeah, 12 speed chainrings don't fit on this crankset.@@silitch
so you're running 11 speed crank chainrings on a 12 speed groupset? Any issues with the shifting?
Zero. Been super happy with it.
Just as an aside what is your inside leg measurement I have been toying with the idea of moving to 165s my inside measurement is80cm
How do you compare the new handlebar with the previous one?
Faster and easier to get aero with, but not as much handling in corners on the hoods because they’re narrower.
@@tristantakevideo thanks, would you go back to the previous one if you could?
I wouldn’t, but also I wouldn’t be unhappy if that’s all I had. They’re great handlebars - these are just a touch faster.
Beautiful bike!!
Thanks man 🙏🏼
What is the widest tire the frame accepts?
It can fit a 30c tyre no problems, potentially 32c depending on the model and width of the rim.
Question, how tall are you and what size is the BMC you're riding?
I’m 172cm and I’m on a size 51.
🔥 🔥
If you ride puppy paws as much as I do you need bar tape on the tops. That is much more aero than leaving the bar tape off.
Riding puppy paws doesn’t require bartape. You’re most likely fitted incorrectly if it does.
@@tristantakevideo Yeah Tristan, I find the bars too slippery without the tape when riding puppy paws but concede you may not have this issue. I also like to have a bit of padding under there for long stints in this position, each to their own however.
Didn’t mean to come off as obtuse in my reply mate..I just haven’t had that issue before. If you find it helps you, that’s the main thing.
@@tristantakevideo Not at all.
I’ve heard the wahoo power meter pedals are very accurate.
How does the frame feel though compared to other frames?
Like a 🚀
What bike pedals you using Tristan?
I run Shimano Ultegra pedals
@@tristantakevideo same as me.. I thought you might go for a super light option??
I had some Dura-Ace for about 3 years and they were great. They started creaking though and I never got them serviced. But I should..shaving those few grams off again would be nice.
Your videos relax me. See you soon. 😊
Do these bottle cages fit other bike brands?
Potentially depending on the shape of the frame.
If you go ceramic, go all the way. If you only do the bb or pulley wheels it won’t give you the results you’re looking for.
But in the end it costs a lot for a “minor “ upgrade in performance.
Not sure if this comment is directed at me or people reading in general, but yes, I agree..one or the other is not the same as doing both at the same time.
@@tristantakevideo just a general comment. It's an expensive lesson I learned. I love your build btw.
2023 BMC Teammachine SLR01 how much?
Hey Tristan! Is that a size 51?
Correct 👌🏼
@@tristantakevideo Nice. Would be my size according to geo charts. Some bikes look weird to me in this size but clearly not Teammachines
I’m biased but I reckon this is the perfect size frame in this model 😅
If it's not good for Hambini, it's not good for me 😁
Sweet ride. I can definitely attest to the Favero Assioma pedals, absolutely the gold standard for power meter pedals.
👍👍👍
The OSPW - I’m not convinced it makes you faster. You may well notice the smoothness but I’m yet to be convinced that smoothness translates to a tangible speed increase.
Just my opinion mind
Either way, very nice bike
Yes nobody actually buys these overpriced pully wheels except Instagram cyclists.
it's never been proven they actually make you faster. If it were the case the pros would be using them, don't they? Since he gets this shit for free he can't say anything negative about it.
Bike looks nice tho.
Yeah the testing (by Silca) indicates that’s it’s a 1-2watt saving at most.. not worth it
Michael Smith - Firstly, two World Tour teams use CeramicSpeed. Secondly, I personally know a number of World Tour riders who have bought their own CeramicSpeed to use at World Champs when not being obligated to ride team equipment.
Don’t get your panties in a knot over equipment you don’t need to buy yourself. And the dig at me about the “instagram cyclist” isn’t necessary..I guarantee I’ve won more races than you’ve finished, mate.
@@tristantakevideo There were pro teams who used oval chainrings too, but they were also unproven to have any power/speed benefit.
As I said, I get the smoothness claim. I'd even understand a claim that they make your chain last longer. But an actual speed increase? Nah
You do you though. If it works for you then sweet. That's all that matters really
@@mjf1975 that’s right.. can’t really argue with the results from the independent testing. There’s probably some benefit from the placebo effect too
It's amazing that although the 50mm deep wheels are "undeniably faster", Luke Plapp chose to run 35mm deep wheels to win the Australian Road champs. I wonder why..
Most likely because the course has almost 4000m of climbing.
@@tristantakevideo a 5% climb with flat and downhill to the finish..
I’m genuinely impressed you’re referencing one specific race and one specific rider to try make this argument.
@@tristantakevideo Why would that one race be different? Although at a constant speed on the flat in the wind a deep section may be faster, when you add in accelerations and riding in the wheels it's a far less clear picture, that's even before you take into account hills. Also, when you say when you get them up to speed you can feel it holds the speed, the difference is around 15 watts, which is like pulling your elbows in by 2 inches, can you really feel the difference in speed when you pull your elbows in 2 inches?
Look up who won nationals 12 months ago and what depth of rim he was riding to answer your first question. One race isn’t a good metric to judge something by.
Then re-read your first comment, followed by your last comment and try to come up with a clear argument. On one hand you’re inferring I’m wrong for saying 50mm rims are faster, and on the other you’re saying “they are faster but…”.
If you need more proof, have a look at every race win (pro or amateur) for the last 5 years and let me know what rim depth is most consistently getting across the line first. Hint: it ain’t 35mm…
And finally, the last comment is a joke right? I spend a third of this video talking about the bars allowing me to bring my hands and elbows in by a couple of inches and how that saves a huge amount of effort. 15 watts is 4% of my FTP…do you know what amount of training people do (myself included) in order to gain 4% on their FTP?
Definitely do not get Garmin based power meter, it’s not reliable and mega expensive.
I too had started with left crank based power meter, mine read too high!
I got favero Assiomas for shimano pedals because it’s got longer axles and ima big boy who needs that extra wide stance.
Otherwise get the normal ones and never look back!
Cheers mate
I’ve been running the vector 2’s for years and can’t fault them.
If you think a left side PM is running too high or low, it’s more than likely from a L/R imbalance.
Yo!!!
team assiomas
peso?
6.8kg
Costs more than my networth!!
Mate, same. I am extremely aware of the privilege I have in riding such a beautiful bike and on no days do I ever take it for granted.
if ya don't have a v12 engine these just marginal upgrades
I don’t think you’re pushing small watts 😂
eat the best you can, as clean as you can, do lots of stretching, meditating to open the chakras, be celibate and retain all sexual energy and train smart, thats only way to get a v12
HI, QUICK-ISH MOAN OUT OF BUDDY LOVE & CONCERN FOR YOU;-). I NOTICED YOU RIDE HANDS FREE!!. PLEASE NEVER DO THIS!!..
I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO CRASH AND I HAD SOME VERY SCARY COMPLICATIONS WITH TRAPPED NERVES THAT PREVENTED RESTFUL SLEEP FOR WEEKS, EQUALING A TYPE OF TORTURE THAT DEVELOPED DEEP PANIC & ANXIETY ATTACKS, AND STILL REMAIN A BIT YEARS LATER, AND A BROKEN HIP WHEN I FELL UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DOING SPEED SKATING CROSS OVERS ON A HIGH G-FORCE CORNER.
I HAD TO WAIT 2 WEEKS IN HOSPITAL AGED 39 IF I NEEDED A HIP REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE BLOOD VESSELS AROUND THE JOINT BEING DISRUPTED, THIS WAS A TOTAL SHOCK TO ME THAT COULD EVEN HAPPEN BEING VERY FIT: RESTING HR 34 BPM/ BLOOD PRESSURE 112/68/ BIKE FTP 325 AGED 39 /1200 WATTS MAX POWER USING STAGES CRANK METER / CYCLING VO2 MAX 61/ 120KG DEAD-LIFT SESSIONS, I FELT INDESTRUCTIBLE BEFORE THE DIAGNOSIS, HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO (ME) CLASSIC HUMAN NAIVE HUBRIS SYNDROME.
LUCKILY I ONLY NEEDED A METAL PLATE WHICH GOT ME LIMPING AROUND WITHIN DAYS. BUT A REAL WAKE UP CALL AT WHAT CAN GO WRONG..THE SURGEON SAID HE ASSUMED IT WAS A CAR CRASH THE INJURY WAS SO BAD WHILE CONFIRMING I DID HAVE DENSE STRONG BONES.
WE FEEL INVINCIBLE UNTIL WE EXPERIENCE A CRASH THAT DEMONSTRATES WE CAN BE OFF THE BIKE FOR GOOD OR EVEN IN THE MORGUE.
I KNOW YOU'RE COMPETENT AND SAFE OVERALL, BUT REALLY (PLEASE) NO MORE HANDS FREE RIDING, IT SIMPLY ISN'T WORTH TEMPTING A RAISED CRASH PROBABILITY.
AND I AM SURE YOU KNOW WE LIVE IN A UNIVERSE GOVERNED BY QUANTUM PROBABILITIES WHICH WE ARE ALL VULNERABLE TO.
DON'T MAKE THE ODDS GO AGAINST YOU BY OFFERING THE BETTER LIKELIHOOD OF A PROBABLE BUMP IN THE ROAD, OR AN UNEXPECTED DISTRACTION THAT TURNS YOUR HANDLEBARS WHILE YOU ARE HANDS FREE.
I AM 52 NOW AND STILL HAVE A 35-42 BPM RESTING HEART RATE, NOT SO STRONG BUT AS FIT AS CAN BE;-) I CAN CONFIRM AS WE GET OLDER WE LEARN NOT TO TAKE THE UNNECESSARY RISKS THAT WE SOMETIMES LEARNED THE HARD WAY (AKA ME IN THE PAST) IN OUR DESIRE FOR ADRENALINE & EXCITEMENT, IT'S HARD AT TIMES I KNOW THE MOMENT TAKES US OVER, AND OUR CONFIDENCE ONLY ENCOURAGES US MORE.
BOTTOM-LINE, THE AIM IS TO STAY INJURY FREE, AND ON THE BIKE TILL OUR LAST DAY ON EARTH;-) AND THAT MEANS KEEPING YOUR HANDS FULLY IN CONTROL OF YOUR BIKE 100% OF THE TIME IF POSSIBLE.
I WOULD BE REMISS IN NOT CONVEYING MY EXPERIENCES IF IT HAS EVEN A 1% CHANCE OF KEEPING YOU OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE BIKE AND NOT IN HOSPITAL WAITING TO FIND OUT IF YOU'LL LOSE YOUR HIP JOINT AFTER AN INNOCENT TRAINING RIDE, OR IN MY CASE A SPEED SKATE SESSION WHICH RESULTED IN 4 YEARS AND TWO BIG OPERATIONS GOING BY BEFORE MY BODY WAS FREE OF THE METAL PLATE AND CLOSE TO OLD RACE PERFORMANCES.
BUT THE SCAR IS FOR GOOD, AND MY LEFT LEG WILL NEVER BE AS STRONG OR AS SUPPLE DUE TO THE INTERNAL SCAR TISSUE FROM THE SCALPEL GOING IN TWICE, WHICH NOBODY CONSIDERS INCLUDING ME, PLUS ADDED TO ALL THAT I BROKE MY LEFT SHOULDER JOINT IN THE SAME FREAK ACCIDENT, AND NOW THE NOT SO PROUD OWNER OF TWO PERMANENT METAL SCREWS IN MY SHOULDER JOINT, MOVING ME ONE STEP CLOSER TO BEING THE TERMINATOR, HA.
SO SERIOUSLY, BE WARNED - NO HANDS FREE FOR YOUR OWN SAKE OR ANYONE ELSE'S, AND DON'T FORGET THE STRESS IT PUTS ON OUR PARENTS.
Thanks for such a concerned message John..it sounds like you’ve been through a lot. I’m definitely not aiming to have any incidents and have long accepted the risks that come with riding. I don’t generally ride without hands unless I’m confident it’s safe or I know the road well. But I appreciate the reminder. Stay safe and healthy mate 🙏🏼
Adds skinny aero bars, ruins the aerodynamics by adding a lumpy computer in front.🙄 High time manufacturers addressed this by intergrating the computer into the stem and strip LED lights into the leading edge of the bar and rear of the seat post. It's crazy that so much effort is put into making frames aero then making it so that riders are forced to ruin all of those clean lines by adding lights, computers, bottles and pumps. UCI need to reconsider the ruling around fairing of ancillary fixtures.
BMC or FACTOR?
BMC
ceramic speed system is predominately smoke and mirrors and the performance value doesn't not outweigh the price tag - I'ts industry bullshit i'm afraid. Don't believe me, just speak to Paul Lew one of the finest aerodynamicist wheel builders
Little bit confused by this comment. Are you saying if it was free it would be worth using, but because it costs money it’s not? And then you’re saying not to believe you. And then you’re saying I should speak with a wheel builder about drivetrain efficiency?
dont forget to upgrade the engine to a v12, be completely celibete on semen retention long term, and you will be stronger than ever, throwing away sexual energy is like downgrading the engine to a v6
Deuriller, chains and brakes do not affect speed. Only your thighs dictate your speed.
That’s why I never skip leg day.
RUclips is turning into one big infomercial for brands...from autos to motorcycles to bicycles to high end watches whereby channels are given products to promote.
Sorry, I find it both distasteful and disingenuous.
Are you an ardent and decent cyclist? Yes. You certanly look fit. Are you a pro? No.
How many different brands are successfully raced in the pro peloton? Several.
Does BMC make a good bike? Yes. Does BMC have great value? No. Cost/benefit, pretty much anybody is as fast on a Giant TCR with cheap mechanical groupset and decent carbon wheels.
Integrated handlebars suck on many levels but yours are narrow and look to be aero so I am sure slippery as you say. If you load up a bike with all ceramic bearings you are given to promote are they faster? Maybe a watt in aggregate but very little ROI for the weekend warrior.
Tires matter as much or more which can be put on any bike.
A summary. BMC this. BMC that. BMC this. BMC that.
Nobody cares. A slippery 'very expensive' roadbike you were 'given' to promote.
Any rider that can put out 10 more watts than you for your same size small body will be faster on several bikes that cost 1/2 as much. The fastest guy at the group ride or the crit is the fastest guy on any bike he brings.
That’s some serious anger for a video you could’ve clicked off, mate. Have a great day. 😂
Pity it hasn’t got rim brakes it would be even faster
BMC sponsorship would be just .. 🤌🤌🤌
