Your philosophy on wanting a light bike even if you’re not climbing much and even if you’re a heavier rider represents many of us :)
-
I just love your humor 😂😂 “spin test … spin test” 😂😂
-
Your laugh at 18:59 reminds me of the laugh from the dad in Back To The Future when it goes back to 1955 and they're sitting at dinner in front of the TV and he laughs at the Honeymooners.
-
Would not expect a Czech brand on this channel even in my wildest dreams haha
-
We were talking about the weight weenie stuff today. Two pounds is significant. You do need to work on weight, but you can't drop two pounds overnight (unless you are retaining water!)
-
Florida ready.... classic! One of the only places I have ridden where I have seen so many tt bikes with drop bars.
-
Florida has lots of vacation destinations. And now, woohoo, there's the Table of Upgrades. 😀
-
Great vid. Better wheels, tpu tubes, conti tires and a ceramic BB will make a world of difference. You certainly know your meat and potatoes and how to dish em out to perfection. Great advice and worth following every step. Thanks

I'm getting sick and tired of people forgetting that lighter bikes accelerate faster out of a corner. As a crit racer on mostly flat courses, people always seem to forget that a lighter bike is not just for climbing but it saves watts out of each corner which is especially good for tail gunning in a race.
-
I got the 19g ridenow tpu's in my 28mm tyres which actually measure 31.5mm on the wheels. the valves are transparent too. I also have a thread together press fit bb Token Ninja weiging 82g. I really like thread together bb's.. very easy to remove and install as a home mechanic.

I too upgraded my Madone SLR to its final evolved form. Campagnolo Bora Ultra WTO 60mm, custom 3D printed saddle with 7x9 carbon fiber rails. 140mm rotors front and back (I don't care if braking will be slightly worse) and lighter GP 5000 S TL (was running the GP 5000 AS - All-Season tires which are 50g heavier) I probably could have done more to reduce weight, like a shallower wheelset, titanium bolts, OSPW, Ceramic BB, but I don't wanna go too deep into the rabbit hole of this obsession.

Grant don't put yourself down you fine figure if a man. I'm 265lbs and i also look at weight 😂. Deep wheels, Conti tyres and TPU tubes gained me over 1mph average on all rides. Best upgrades everyone needs to do, and all for under $1000.
-
Hand up who would buy this bike and spend the $$ for upgrades to go from 20lb to 18lb, heavy before and still heavy after
-
Love that Papa John's guy! We're doing it BETTER!
-
the smoother the bearings mean more speed. at the indy 500 one cars wheel were spun and went around 3 or 4 times. the fastest car wheel spun and kept going for ever. so the derailleur is impressive.
-
Love the videos as always. Had a question about your discount code at bike gen…. Old code no longer works. Will you be offering a new one? Please ;)
-
Hey Grant, I’ve brought the same wheels but they haven’t arrived yet, do the 32’s lightbulb a lot or are they pretty flush? Great video as always
-
Nice lookin' bike
-
I love the TPU Tubes. Don't think I would ever go tubeless.
