Your videos are so great man, please learn how to load the wattage at the same time in the right or left corner! That would make your videos even better but I still like watching the climb with no data. I guarantee a lot of others like to see the math as well
Love these videos man. Been watching durianrider for years. What would be cool is to see durianrider smash in the miles this year at his age late forties to show his diet and protocols work. Regardless can't thank durianrider enough for teaching us how important carbs are. Hope he never stops making youtube videos to prove all along he was right about what he teaches while everyone else loses there health and fitness.
People forget, Durian has been riding his bike for 40 years. It's his only transport, his baseline power and fitness will be better than most Semi Pro's half his age. Purely because of time on the seat, 40 years of cycling fitness.
I would ask a question of your critique of disk brakes. Like how long would a carbon wheel last with rim brakes? Because I got to tell you, I am looking at my wheels and thinking those rims are getting thin. As for the wheels themselves, what is the life span of race wheels? because at 84kg I was apparently too heavy for the race wheels on my GIANT bike. The rear wheel failed with a spoke giving way and scratching up my calf muscle. Been on Shimano trainers since, no problems. Of course I have never been a racer.
Looking thin is not the same as measuring thin. Have you got an Iwanson gauge, used in dental work. Spokes break for many reasons, your weight is not very excessive, but all riders need to check wheels regularly as they do take the brunt of potholes etc.
I did a 13:00 flat last sat. Easy to catch them when they are going slower than me. If they went full gas though they would do 11:30-12:00 and I’d be 40-60 seconds behind.
Hi DR, I own a disc brake TCR and a 2017 Cannondale super six with SRAM red, my Tcr is faster in most situations, on a climb of 10minutes plus then my rim brake bike is faster assuming the road surface is decent

why would you want to train on a light road bike. the training should be as hard as possible. What makes it hard? heavy steel road bike with low tyre pressure and rubbing disc brakes. train hard race light
Harley, don't you feel like it makes no sense that a disc brake bike would be slower? How much heavier is a disc brake bike? This is disappointing to hear from you, because I remember the days you would say 1 kg off your body is way more important than 1 kg off the bike, when you would say how important pacing yourself with a power meter is, when you bought that Reid Osprey with a Sora (I think?) groupset and would keep up with fast riders to show how it's not about the bike (other than bike fit and pacing and being fit of course). Now I keep hearing you say things that make no sense even on paper, let alone in the real world (i.e you keep getting dropped by these ''slow'' bikes, yet that doesn't make these bikes any less slow in your view). EDIT: Btw, I love rim brakes for all kinds of reasons, and have rim brake bikes myself. But discs have the advantage of not wearing your rims. Whatever the reason someone chooses disc brakes (even if it's for posing on Instagram!), they are not getting dropped because of their disc brakes. What kind of pathetic excuse is that? What if someone said they got dropped because they only had 9 speed. Or because they had square taper and not BB30? Or a tapered steerer. Give me a break.
What’s faster up a hill? 6.5kg or 7.5kg? All other variables the same. WHY carry excess weight up a hill when you want to go your fastest? Yes I will beat 99.9% of riders on earth today on my xc bike with fat soft tires because of my fitness BUT does that mean that bike is the best choice? Context is of importance💯
@@durianriders Racing minimum weight is 6.8 kg. Anything lighter is for people who post on ''weightweenies'' instead of training. And real practical race bikes are often seven point something. And we're talking about Tour de France bikes at this point. Most cyclists are losing minutes instead of seconds, so as long their bike is around 10 kg it's light enough. Your bike choice is not the reason you get dropped, unless you're placing top 5 constantly.
@@durianriders Here's the math. 70 kg rider, 7.5 kg bike, total =77.5 kg. 70 kg rider, 6.8 kg bike, total = 76.8 kg. 77.5 kg divided by 76.8 kg = 1.0091. That is a 0.91% increase in weight, i.e less than 1% increase in weight.
However much reasoning you do with yourself about not comparing someone on an e-bike with un-assisted rider's performance, there's definitely part of you inside that dies at that moment when a cute girl in a pink coat who is riding one handed just breezes past on a climb like it's nothing 🤣
Harley must hate Bryan Johnson, that only eats 35% carbs and on top of that he's calorie restricting. Thus totalling around 200 grs of carbs a day. Is that the recipe for healthfulness and youthfulness?
Ah yes, the classic DR format is back. These videos never get old bro
Great to see the cycling content ramping up.
Thanks for the footage 🎉🎉
Great to see you with the teams again

Pros up Norton Summit with loafing cadence. Effortless riding. Likely that were all in zone 2.
Keep killing it Harley.
great footage
Yes, watts and other telemetry data.
Great video. Lots of fun!

Love it. More of this please.
I enjoy watching videos like this. Gives me a perspective of how strong the pros are
please show the watts gives the whole vid a much better viewing experience / i would really like it
Great video thank you for the commentary.
Thanks for sharing! Good to see that they are getting ready to grab a W :) Hope to see more rides with pros and power figures also! Carb up!
Solid ride. You are probably the only cyclist on RUclips that catches the pros in action the most.
No there is another bro who is in Tenerife who does heaps of vids now too.
Marc Soler is a smooth operator love him
Did your doctor get you some EPO?
so good! pro teams ride so smooth like effortless

Seen some interesting camera angles this week Durian , care to comment ?
Those new bikes are 1000x better.

Unless you are a professional Rider doing tens of thousands of kilometers per year, this is not a valid concern.

We need power data!
We can't relate to the video without on screen wattage. Stick it on
do the watts bro!
