I once shortened an inner tube from 24 to 22 inch, to fit a smaller weelsize. I was making a functional rustbucket to put at trainstations out of two wrecked bikes I got for free.
I'm quite proud of that one...
...it stil got stolen tho, obsly
I built every bike I currently ride. In fact, I just finished a new bike last week.
I now have a carbon fiber lowracer (2016), a chromoly Cruzbike Silvio Clone (2017), and now an aluminum hyper-aero bike.
I built my own mountain/gravel bicycle frame. I made it from Columbus Nivacrom OR tubing.
What size, Adam size! 😄
I've made a pair of aero bar extensions out of pvc pipe just because it's super cheap and I didn't want to spend too much trying a different style
we need Adam Hansen to join GCN Tech as a permanent host. Make it happen Jon!
I could listen to Adam talk about tech stuff all day, someone needs to get him on a podcast
Max Nelson hell yeah they do!!!!!

One of the coolest guys in the peloton. What a nerd. :D And I mean that in the most positive way. I mean, Jon is a self confessed nerd, but when Adam talks about how to make a shoe, even Jon is amazed and listening with his mouth wide open. Good stuff. More content with Adam, please.
Always like when you guys bring Adam H. on! The man who can do it all!
I think I know who's getting a Valentine's card from Jon this year.
Lol
The moment when Jon remembers the model of shoe DMT made. Adam face is a look of love ❤. @6:41
He‘s always so humble and nice. One of the most sympathetic riders out there.
This guy is a one man R&D army, absolutely amazing what he's done
Really interesting about the cleats being so far back- would make a good GCN does science video comparing cleat fore/aft position.
GCN definitely do cleat position vs Power
I think if you are like me and pedal with your feet pointing slightly down that moving the cleats back would mean a lower seat height, and slight aero gains.
www.stevehoggbikefitting.com/bikefit/2011/04/power-to-the-pedal-cleat-position/ Great article here from Steve Hogg about cleat position. Been using a mid-foot cleat position for a few years now and I really like it.
Jon's man crush on Adam is almost as entertaining as Dan's on Froome.
What an absolute gent Adam Hansen is, so down to earth and planted. Which such genius ideas that he just happens to knock up in his shed in a week or so
Another informed interview with an extraordinarily creative athlete. Thanks, Jon.
This guy knows his way around a bike. One of the most informative videos ever.
Adam's feet have their own bike frames! Now that's Metatarsal Gains!
I love that Adam shares his knowledge and time with us over the shoes. There are CF companies watching this to get his experience and methods, I'm sure.
What an amazing interview. What an amazing guy. Was wondering if he's a gourmet chef and a brain surgeon too. Very impressed and look forward to a future interview with him.
What can't Hansen do?!
You need to do a full hour-long show just with Adam Hansen! This was just a brief intro and you only just skimmed the surface with this interview.
Jon looked genuinely star-struck there! 😀I’m giving this video a supernice!!
Adam should collab with Rob Hayles.
Very cool interview with Hansen. He's a very smart guy who isn't afraid to work with his hands. He could start a business after he's done cycling.
One of the greatest characters in cycling... Thanks!
I love these techno geek sessions..I could watch these forever non stop..suppose I worship the machine
What a very interesting bloke Adam Hansen is.
Cool stuff there. Hats off to Adam! I'm also a type of tinkerer but doing my own carbon shoes is such a high level and beyond my imagination I won't probably ever achieve on my own.
I absolutely love adam hansons inventions. Awesome video.
Really glad you made this video Jon as I've had a keen interest in Adam's shoes for while and have toyed with the idea of making my own for the hill climbs where every gram counts... I wonder if Adam has experimented with other composite materials like Aluminium soles or resin impregnated fabrics?
Adam's great. It always makes me smile when I see he's doing well in a race.
Adam Hanson & Rob Hayles are very similar people. Very creative with a "lets have a go" attitude. Soooo interesting.
Adam seems like a genuinely great guy. Thanks for sharing him with us Jon. Great video.
Jon is in love! He is fanboying so hard.
Best Super Geek video! Who thought shoe tech could be so cool?? Jon did. Amazing!!!! Thanks GCN, Jon, & Adam!!
I love this clip! Literally brilliant! This is equipment geek gold. I am just blown away to his attention to detail and form following function. 👏👏👏🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
A bike fit expert recently told me my cleats too far back. Moved them 5mm forward. The day after my first ride with new set up: shin pain, foot pain, ankle pain, calf pain, knee pain. Think I'll revert to me original "wrong" position!
I hope you didnt oay £300 ofir bad advice😢
The peering through the shrubbery freaked me out.
Such a super dude, proud that he rides for a Belgian squad! Also for comparison, the lightest shoes u can easily buy are the Giro Prolight Techlace at 150gr, these are more than a third lighter!
All round legend. Did the Al Ain classic along with him and a few other pros. Was happy to chat to everyone 🤘🏼
What a fascinating and energetic and inquisitive guy. That was amazing.
Fascinating chat with Adam Hansen. I just wish I had the innovative idea and ability to come up with solutions like his. Seems a proper good lad too
H A N S E E N O!
absolute legend. As a mechanical engineer i am fascinated. Really want to make my own shoes!
This guy ohhhh man this guy is legend
sanyukta Lele I'm newish to my new found passion...I've had similar thoughts about making equipment for myself. I'll use this mad scientist as a reference point;-)
@@SprayIgniteBoom best of luck
Currently making a bracket to strengthen the area around the bridge on the seat stays of a Cinelli track frame so i can put a rear brake on but reduce the stress on the bridge so it doesn’t collapse. Some might say it’s heresy or mad but it’s fun (i just don’t want a fixie, sorry). Also drilling the top tube to hide the rear cable having bought some recessed cable guides
There is a GCN Does Science video. Does cleat position affect power output? If so by how much.
I learned how to 3D model and print recently, and I've had an absolute blast making fairings for my bike and have had some serious success with that, but the holy grail for me is to do my own shoes like the lad himself.
Great feature , !!
Need more like this !!
Adam ROCKS !
JON ROCKS !
Absolutely fantastic video. What a gent giving so much of his time. Great to see two people being so passionate.
In a game of inches, this is won by a couple feet!
Great Adam is Awesome as well as your show definitely need him on again
Adam Hansen is the man !
What a gentleman!
17:30 Jon "Hook up again..." oh my, it's getting serious
Amazing thing works perfectly
Adam is a true Renaissance man. Now I’m inspired to do some cycling related hacks
Adam is such an amazing person, kinda jack of all trades, great video!
Top bloke. Remember him from WeightWeenies (Zakeen?) as being an really decent and knowledgeable guy. More from Adam please!
He shares a similar pedal philosophy as James Wilson from Pedaling Innovations in terms of foot position on the crank. Interesting
Adam what a top bloke
This dude is freaking awesome!!
I make my own frames and forks.
Need more from Adam
Yes bring Adam to GCN he is so smart
Adam Hansen rules!!!!
What a lovely bloke 👍🏽
this guy probably takes care of his shoes better than I take care of myself!
This is an interesting chat...especially about cleat position. I ride with the cleats right back since it tends to give more power. I can point my toes down, which seems to give me more power through the bottom of the stroke and then also allows me to pull on the way back up. Obvs, I cannot keep this up for long, but in a bit of a sprint it seems to work. This is just me, and I am pants on a cycle, but I was going to ask this question.
Jon looks so much like a student attending a lecture im surprised he wasnt taking notes!!
What a great video, anytime you have Adam on you yoke its all going to to fascinating.
Thank you, GCN, for producing such a niche video. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and loved the simple presentation of two interesting and interested people having an illuminating discussion. Thank Jon and Adam. Kudos to you both.
Absolutely ingenious!!
Jon's way to do his videos is amazing.
"Is the office open?" This man is a saint. Just hearing that gives me hives.
Simple mechanics would proof that the cleat positions doesn't matter for the power through the cranckset, the arm or distance the force is from the bottom bracket remains the crank length so 175mm or what ever you are running, having the cleat in the middle, at your toes or underneath your heels the torque is the same.
Only difference will be on the force you can generate at the position of your cleat relative to your foot which unless your at the extremes is pretty much the same I would say.
It matters to the mechanics of the legs (power input), but not the bike, which I think is what you say in your last sentence?
Your foot is also a lever and cleats forward can enable more total power (ie. Sprint/extreme) because the calves can lever some extra force through the foot. Cleats back is more efficient because the shorter 'foot lever' needs less stabilisation from the calf muscles to transfer the regular power on every pedal stroke... they are not providing the extra top-end kick so better not to waste energy on these muscles. Some suggest the more stable the foot is, the less energy is used by the nervous system also.
Long distance riders who never need total power output like cleats back, sprinters like cleats more forward.
Really? That's strange. So you're saying if the weight is exactly over the pedal thread in the crack the only way to influence this is by changing the length of the crank?
The 'problem' is that the pedal is a pivot, so you can't have torque going trough it (it is freely turning). Would you put your weight in front of it, you would need to generate a counter balancing force to avoid your foot from turning forwards.
I feel there is something in the body that might explain your feeling of having more power, Si should do some science this.
What an absolutely amazing and talented fellow. How cool to just listen to him! Thanks!
Great profile! Adam seems like a really nice, well-rounded guy! 👍🏾👍🏾
Absolute legend, we all want more videos with Hanseeno !!!
If I could have some shoes made only for me, I’d be as happy as Larry! Good on you for the vid.
Impressive guy in every sense.
It won't be long before Adam H is filming his piece for meet the presenter for GCN. 🤣🤣
THE most interesting cyclist and so humble. More of Adam, please.
Adams Da Man.
Pragmatic Aussie attitude, Need something? Have a crack at it mate.
I can't even cook an egg propperly and this guy makes ultra high tech shoes.
He can’t sit still that lad and has a compulsion to dismantle things. Fascinating!
I love Adam Hansen, such a cool guy
I'm a programmer too. And I am new to cycling. This video has me thinking. I always expected that the downward force of the shoe should be coming largely from the heel(it is most in line with the leg). But my spd shoes and pedals are fairly centered on the ball of my foot. Wouldn't it be more ideal that the pedals be fairly centered above the center of the ankle? If the pedals/heel/leg were all in alignment, I imagine that the seat position and angle may have to be modified. I'm generally skeptical of everything until I review the science myself.
Best Hack on GCN videos!
Need a Rob Hayles, Adam Hanson collaboration.. that really would be something!
How about a competition for Adam to make one extremely lucky subscriber a pair of shoes?
Another composites guru
I want more content like this.
What a cool guy!
One of the best if not the beat g c n interview I’ve seen. - top dude Adam Hansen 😎👍
Well done Jon ,fantastic Interview .
The man behind the shoes are even better. Kudos for an amazing interview
For anyone trying this, if you're trying to get some flex in your upper level of carbon fiber try using more hardener at double or less with the epoxy. Like 1.5:2 instead of a 1:2 ratio.
AdamOrnelles The upper that Adam Hansen uses is a carbon fiber/kevlar composite, which is what provides some flex. Also he said that he uses a different hardening agent altogether
Wow, great to hear Adam :D
'So, to provide some reasoning, if you were going to kill a rat with your foot ...'
OMG, great chat with Adam!! Loved it!!
Fun interview. Thanks Jon
Really enjoyed this video. I sometimes watch some of the GCN videos while catching up on work in the evening on my laptop. I wasn't able to do any work while watching this one - it was way too interesting!
It sounds like Adam could become a guest presenter on GCN tech (and probably out-tech even Jon!)
Jon's man-crush. He's almost blushing at the end :-)
Hansen episodes are some of the best! You should try to have a monthly thing with him.
