4iiii, 3ttt…
Lasty was born to do these bike run downs.
I'm waiting for Gaviria custom bike
DT swiss 54t star ratchet sound?
God knows how he fit the k-edge mount on the bar. I have that bar and I can't get one on without having the bar slightly off Centre
Honestly is the best looking bike ive seen in awhile.
I'll be honest, those integrated brakes are slick as hell.
Sorry but in every of these bikecheck I hear the same thing about the handlebars (narrow for sprinters only), but it's also about bikefit! Narrow shoulders=Narrow handlebars that simple so ok some sprinters use it for aero but sometimes it's all about bike fit (I need 38cm on my next bike)!
I take it that you don''t have a camera lens that can focus on the heat shrink work? Next time, bring a camera for close-ups, please!
Power saddle is a standard saddle and not TT/Tri specific.
100grams is insignificant to the whole system including the rider's body weight.
love the freehub sound !!! keep it bruhhh
Where is "How To Build Your Own Bike Frame Part 4"!!!!???
rear wheel needs to be balanced… pretty wobbly
55? Wow that's quite insane.
so much better with standard stem
The bars look soooo much better than the ones it come with stock
Ugly! Don't like Specialized.
Does it have Bumper to Bumper coverage…oh wait, wrong channel.
I've got the Power saddle for general riding, it's a right perch. Looks odd but is surprisingly normal!
Guess he never holds the tops then?
55-42 chain rings. Sam, you animal!!
That venue is sweet !
I'm surprised that's only a saddle height of 74cm. Looks much taller
The speed these guys hit go I'm surprised not more of the peloton is using 54 or 55 tooth chainrings!
Andrey Amador bike please!
It's a Specialized Power saddle…he couldn't bother to even look at the damn saddle??? It says it right on top, I know because I have 3 of them on 3 of my bikes….
Good video
More pro conti bikes instead of WT please
Nice Chucks 🙂
Could you guys show women pro bikes sometimes ? TY !
what do I have to do to earn the right for a 55t ring? #Dreams #Goals
These bike-porn videos deserve 4K resolution!
I'm always concerned when I spin the wheel fast and it wobbles. I wouldn't expect an unbalanced wheel on a pro bike! :/
3:30, the bike is so fast, it wants to take off by itself!
Tom Dumoulin, Giro Legend!
why dont roadies run onyx hubs? you'd think they would be all over that marginal efficiency gain…
Long reach because of short saddle nose.
boring bike, ugly front end
that's exactly build for my bodyindex – let me know if I should send you my postage address 😉
wow 55 40!
Anyway you can say what kind of hubs they're running when you do the sound check?
55-42 chainrings up front?! that's some bumper ammo create some serious wattage bazooka…
Very nice . For all it's trick parts, it's not up to showing Gavaria the rear view of it's 11-28 cassette yet.
Freehub sounds like a sounds like insects at night.
The Power saddles really aren't for time trialling. They REALLY help with Prostate related pressures… I picked up regular testicular issues, kidney infections, all kinds of urination and ejaculation (sorry, but it's utter truth) pains from proper long weeks in the saddle. It all stopped instantly when I shifted over to the power range. This saddle, changed my entire life and I highly recommend it 🙂 I do think it depends on your build of course… I have wider sitting bones than normal men do, so a "close to ladies" saddle helps me.
Frame size?
Sam Bennett 🇮🇪💪. Only reason I bought a s works venge
