For the Cannondale debate, a relevant data point is the German magazine Tour just aero-tested the gen 4 Supersix Evo and it's right up there with the Canyon Aeroad's and Cervelo S5's of the world, despite being a light-weight "all-arounder". And that was without the integrated bar that comes on the top-end specs. I think you get the best of both worlds with the new SSE, Ben Healy notwithstanding.

So interesting, the chat about the frames being different for pro riders. You've only got to look at this year's Cannondale range where they've got the LAB 71, Evo Hi-Mod and Evo - 'same bike', completely different... bike...? That's how easy it is to lay up different versions; if you can do it on a mass scale, it's easy to do it for a handful of bikes for the pro teams. I echoed this sentiment in the comments of a video a while back after Hambini basically said the frames the pros are on are 'specials' and definitely not what you buy at the store, and I got shot down, probably by dentists who can't stand to not have EXACTLY what the pros have, and doubted myself. Now I hear this UCI chat and weight discrepancy thing with Froome's bike, and it just bringing me back to believing it again.

Been a while since I commented but have had one or two things floating around over the last few episodes: 1. Chris Miller: - The bike is stunning. The graphics in the frame wrap awesome. Liked the family involvement. 2. Toe covers. What! Spoken like a man who doesn't live in a climate where they are a god send. 3. GIRO. Your comment that it has left a bitter taste is sadly near the truth. The conditions have been awful but I wonder whether they have been bad in past years and it just haven't had the coverage? But I think the racing has been amazing, though I would query whether it has always been safe. Jesse 1. Didnt you say you wouldn't be comfortable riding a no name bike? Really? So if somebody gave you a C68 without the badges on, you wouldn't be happy? 2. TCR. It looks good. I ride a rim bike and although I accept that braking in the wet is better with discs, I try not to ride in the wet and rim brakes seemed fine for the Pro Tour until 2 years ago. Now the area of concern is carbon rims. One of your countrymen Luescher Teknik scared me off carbon rims: delamination, blow outs etc. What's your take? Both: 1. Pro bikes, the reality. Can of worms. I believe a con of epic proportions has been and is being carried out. I think that many Pro bikes are specially made by companies trying to convince people that 'the bike they ride, you can buy'. It's appalling. I don't believe that all manufacturers are affected, maybe not Pinarello and not TIME, whose bikes are manufactured in France using a different technique. It should be stopped but it will hurt Specialized, Canyon, Cannondale and Giant et Al. Let's see but you should run with this. 2. Covid. Totally agree with what you said. Covid knocked me over for several days. Can you imagine being forced to ride in those circumstances and in that terrible weather?! A little dangerous. 3. Deliveroo couriers. I think the spinning around on the pavements reflects badly on everybody My only moment of amusement was when Matt Stevens did a cafe ride with Ethan Hayter, and you see a Deliveroo ebike gradually catch and overtake them to their obvious surprise. Good show though guys. Really very good.

Happy to see that the Orca Aero has found success mostly with the Cerazit WNT team and a bit with Euskatel, but mainly the fact that it could survive Roubaix. Also, Orbea allows you to spec any handlebar width, stem length, and crank length with your order which saves your point on the second segment discussion.

I was told the timemachine was as a harsh ride but I find it fine on long rides. Love the BMC brand and it’s so good to see Cam with a sponsorship from them.

Great pod Lads, I was also so just having this conversation yesterday. Ben Healy’s bike is fantastic, the components are great, however you just can’t get them! I looked for the vision 4D bars and the narrowest I could get were 40’s! It’s terribly frustrating when bikes come with wide bars and short stems! Factor are now offering pretty much every option now which is great and hopefully everyone will follow suit. I think we may be a small minority however who love the small bars and long stem. Most blokes who I ask out on the bunch rides what bar width etc they run they don’t have the foggiest. I think most blokes just run what the bike comes with. Johnathan Skinner was so far ahead of the game, the man was running 36cm bars and deep wheels about 8 years ago and aero was everything to him. He was so fast on that p5 and s5. Arguably still one of the fastest bikes today.

The wind hits the cross section of your arms. Whether you move them closer or wider. The additional drag is the Δ of the additional cross section of the bar. Going even more complex, the wind flow after passing your arms must be smartly directed afterward. So far as I know. Re. Aero bike w wider handlebar is similar to sports car with auto transmission & being more driver friendly. No casual rider can drive pure sports car efficiently. The same goes with handlebar width. The wider the less nervous you steer the bike.

I know a few guys that did wheel upgrades and went with the Firecrest or the Roval rapid so you don’t have to go to very top end to make that bike faster . Black inc are a great wheel but if you’re trying to race they will hold you back.

I love that we don't have an monopoly in content creator's bike sponsors, if you look across the space including delving into the triathlon bike sponsors there is a wide range of companies represented in both established and newer bike content creators. Alex Dowsett, I thought he would go with Factor given that he was on Factor for his hour record and Factor sponsors another individual (Phil Gaimon). Cam one was obvious. Others are just happy to see that it isn't all focused towards one popular bike sponsor company like Canyon. Pro level spec testing, when was the announcement? I haven't heard about this. I did see a discussion on r/velo about how none of the new TT helmets are available to purchase when they should be according to UCI rules, which could be hinted at with how you said that Track stuff is notorious to get at the consumer level. Even switching over the Grio weather gear, I think there was a couple of stealth drops since they weren't available on the kit's site that were being used in the Grio, not sure about this though. I do know that the reason why they wear the black is that is whats best for the weather and dye doesn't work well so that is why it looks like crappy printing of white letters on an otherwise black jacket.

Narrow bars for road bikes will just get narrower until it gets ridiculous. Same as wider bars for MTBs during the 00s. 710mm-750mm was a sweet-spot for most but it got to 800mm, almost unrideable and ridiculous for most people. Save your money and wait for the marketing hype of ever narrowing bars to settle down, or maybe just measure your shoulder width and ignore. There's a huge difference between wind-tunnel gains and enjoying riding down mountain twisties. There's no point in gaining 2 watts with your hyper fashionable 32cm bars when you can't ride it round a corner and ride over a cliff and die.

I got a picture like this with Puck Pieterse (who won the women's race), or Fem van Empel, for example. If you can, take a trip to the Czech Republic.

If I go with a 51, I might get the 170 cranks I use and probably a 40cm bar (I ride 36's) and the stem will be a 90 making a bike that's on the smaller fit even smaller. Go up a size and the cranks will be too long and a 42cm bar.

im in the market for a new bike myself and im willing to drop 10k (euros) on it but i have the same problem that you guys mentioned. they all come with 40-42 bars (on a small frame) and with the full integration you cannot just swap out your bar and that is a shame. i think they really need to step up their game in that regard. crank length and barwidth/stemlength should be mandatory options on every bike especially on the fully integrated ones. i wanted to buy a V4RS at my LBS 2 weeks ago. size 52ish (effective top tube) and the shop got it with 175 cranks (yes im not joking you) and a 42mm bar. i mean i simply cannot ride it. im not dropping another 2k euros on a new bar/stem + new crankset and the shops tell me they have to sell it as they come. thats why im heavily leaning towards canyon now (just waiting for the new aeroad to release)

Once a youtuber gets sponsored it sort of turns me off content, don't know why though just off putting.

Cus the content will never be genuine once they are sponsored

@@raymundafoakwa1188 maybe we should be looking to other ways of income to maintain integrity then, myself included. Instead of relying on the old way of earning.

@Bigdogcyclist it's not only that the videos become one big ad, and if the bike or products have flaws, you will never know as they will always say it's good to protect their sponsorship and income. I have worked for many bike brands, and they have good and bad points, and that's what an honest review does shows you the good and bad, and you, the customer, can make up your mind
