About the shifters: It's not only about aero gains it's also more ergonomic in my view (up to a certain point). When only applying a slight angle you get the benefits of a more natural wrist angle and slight aero gains without the downside of unreachable break leavers.

I tilted my shifters like 2 or 3 years ago. I was entering a round about, and some stupid idiot old lady, run into me, my left shifter turned into the bike, and only after my ride the next day to work did i noticed that. it was way more smother on my hands, and the shoulder position was way more relaxed. It really is a great way to ride. Glad i'm not close to be a pro, UCI can suck on it

The in-joke is that we like talking about this stuff, we like spending money, we like arguing, so you set up rules about how much you are about weight/aero/groupset etc, not because it actually matters at all, but because it keeps things interesting.

Ale, Sportful, Gobik, NorthWave are quite big in Slovenia. You know, that small little country in the middle of Europe where Tadej and Primož are from. ;) See ppl rocking those kits every time you go out. Don't see any of those brands you guys are mostly talking about - Rapha, Maap, Rule28... you basically never see any of these brands here. Maybe occasional LeCol, lots of Castelli (probably the most prominent in this area), some LaPassione. As for the bike brands, lots of Williers, Giants, Specialized and Colnagos, some Scotts, some Canyons, some Meridas. Almost no Focus, no Cervelo, no Trek, no Factors (I don't think I have EVER seen Cervelo S5 on the road and maybe 2-3 Trek Madones ever), no Time, no Look. From looking at bikes here, it is quite obvious that brands that have local stores here are more prominent. We basically have no stores offering Trek, Cervelo, Focus, Factor. Also, being quite hilly country with alps and all that, aero bikes are in minority as well.

Sportful produce great kit. They first became popular when I believe they first sponsored Team Tinkoff-Saxobank, when Alberto Contador and Sagan rode for them before the team folded. Sportful sponsors Sagan, so when he moved to Bora the team naturally were also sponsored by them. When Alberto Contador moved to Trek Factory the team wore Sportful for a year or so. Team Total Energies also wore Sportful when Sagan transferred to them. I have bought numerous pieces of sportful kit. It's great quality and fits great. I'm impressed by their wet/cold weather kit The Fiandre series which has been helped developed by Pros such as Sagan and his teammates and used in The Spring Classics.

The concern about shifter angles is based on how the shifter clamps are designed - they are literally designed to attach perpendicular to the bars. You may remember 3/4 years ago Canyon tried to develop their own bar clamps and they ended up sawing through carbon… this is what Hansen, UCI, SRAM and Shimano are saying.

Hi Chris and Jesse. Always love your podcast and your thoughts on topics because sometimes they give me a different way to think about things. But i want to write my opinion on the super tuck vs bend in levers thing down anyways because i disagree with you on this topic. Super tuck: It has gotten too powerful in the descends so that riders had to do it even though they felt unsafe on the bike. But if they wanted to be at the front of the race they were forced to use it. Otherwise they would spend a lot of energie on the descends aswell. So i think it´s a good thing that they banned it. Bend in levers: I really like the hand position of a slightly bend in lever and also the looks of it. e.g.: Tadej Pogacars levers in the 2023 season. It looked amazing in my opinion. I think they should have implemented a maximum angle of bending them inwards or a minimum width e.g. 35 cm apart on a 38 cm handlebar. Maybe thats just me but i liked a lot of things from the 2023 rulebook. Thanks for your podcast and cycling gossip. I am a big fan since i found you on here. Greetings from Germany :D

As others have said for some Riders a bit of inward tilt can be more comfortable without effecting braking access. Also it provides a way of narrowing bars which in todays world of integrated bar/stems with oftem limited size options can be helpful. The Rapha Sky thing possibly wasn't helped by Rapha lack of high tech gear at the time & Skys high tech demands - this meant they ran rebadged Bioracer Speedwear Skinsuits(one of the 1st to use aerostripe fabrics) then used other bits of Kit like the Castelli Gabba in Classics.

The problem either the turned in levers is the spec of the clamp. The position of the Shimano, Campagnolo or SRAM clamp, is speced for standard positions in standard bars. Now you’re looking at mixing and matching with a variety of bars, aluminum or carbon. Maybe the UCI can make specs for bars to allow for the use of turned in levers. Conversely the manufacturers could respec lever clamps for retrofitting to turned in setups.

About the kits, this is as much as I know: - Sportful is basically Castelli (both are brands of Manifattura Valcismon S.p.A). I'm not 100% sure how they differentiate each other. - I seemed to remember that Pissei was bought by a certain UAE fund.. basically pulling the same move they had with Colnago: Let's buy the whole thing. Now i can't find the news anymore - Ale cycling is an italian brand which is very popular both in Italy and in other european markets (anecdotally, In greece everybody seem to wear Ale) I think the main problem is that a lot of the clothing brand are european so very geographically far from where you are.

Was looking at a 2nd groupset but the asking price was insane. 2016 a Ultegra 6800 complete set cost me $680 on probikekit, now people are asking that amount and more for the same product🤦

Sportsful & Castelli have been sister brands for a while - look at their HQ addresses and they are next door to each other. They seem to have a lower pull tjan Castelli in the UK, but many items are very similar. It use too be a bit like the VW car group - if you wanted a cheaper Golf you vould buy a Seat Leon or Skoda Octavia. I use to like the Castelli warmers with a slight water proofing & fiund I could get pretty much the same leg or arm warmers by Sportful for a bit less. They also had a Gabba equivalent which look pretty much the same.

The ALE kit seems to have a reasonable number of wearers in the UK. Though Jayco rock Vorteq skinsuits I believe at least for the TT'S.

is this a fantasy dream Cervelo that fits both Chris and Jesse? As for UCI rules, I think they're right - brake levers are designed to be perpendicular to the bars. As for super-tuck, I agree with Chris: it's the individual rider's call (I say this as someone who used to do it in their youth and survived, so far anyway).

Alé clothing is big in EU and probably in US. It is well made as good as Castelli and Santini. GOBIK is big in Spain and must want to go global.

I'm glad the UCI is getting more proactive on changes. If not we'd have stupid looking knee high "aero socks" and 30mm wide bars with bent in hoods. Like they don't crash enough, lets make handling worse! lol

You should chat with Jimmy with Cade as they owned the kit brand Atticus, could give you some insight

Wouldn’t mind seeing you ride the Madone after the S5. That would be an interesting comparison…

Really enjoyed this podcast! I'm also a fan of the Bora kit. What do you guys think about Wout Van Aert skipping the tour? Maybe does give Remco a chance?!

I know more people that have injured themselves imitating footballers than cyclists. My friend broke his arm and dislocated his shoulder attempting a bicycle/overhead kick. I’ve never heard fifa ban those type of manoeuvre in a match. Same with the bars, I use a 34cm (at the hoods) bar with the levers turned in (not ridiculously but enough to be noticed). I need that position to be comfortable on the bike because I have extremely narrow shoulders (31cm acromion-acromion), not because I want to be more aero. Also, just bought the Nero jersey so stop chatting and get it posted out 😊

Ridden the S5 a few times… It’s ok and rides fast in a straight line, no doubt. Reminds me of how the Madone rides. But it’s helllla ugly

I’ve never seen a manufacturer specify constraints surrounding shifter angles (what the hell would the UCI know - the manufacturers are the ones who designed the bars). Either the manufacturers have been grossly negligent up to this point (possible), or the UCI are talking out of their asses. Surely if the bars are designed to handle a 100kg top-heavy amateur cyclist in an aero position they can handle the additional force of a 60kg pro cyclist loading the bars at a bit of an angle. If anything I think the angled-in position would relieve load on the bars, because the rider weight is supported at the forearms on the meat of the bars, so there’s less torque on the steerer tube and on the bars themselves (although the type of loading is probably different - probably tensile for the normal position depending on the alignment of the carbon and maybe compressive if a lot of weight is placed on the flats of the bars). I think the UCI are kicking up a stink because the type of loading on the bars resulting from this position wouldn’t match ISO 4210, but surely there’s enough of a safety factor built in the deal with a variety of loading conditions

Older bikes are just faster. Reason they are slow at Heffron is because of the high pressure, skinny tyres. You will be slower without damping on crappy road surfaces.

What isn't clear to me (yet) is what exactly is banned. Is it any degree of tilt away from straight ahead? Or is it only "excessive" tilt? Like many others have said, slightly tilted in shifters tend to be more ergonomic and comfortable. The contraption that was posted that supposedly tests for this looks like it might allow some slight tilt inward.

The more you go under the weight limit it’s only gonna get slower no matter how aero it is
