We Went to a Wind Tunnel to Build the Fastest Unbound 200 Bike and This Is The Result
The Unbound 200 is the biggest gravel race in the world and as such I have left no stone unturned in my pursuit of building the fastest bike possible for the race. Some of these equipment choices might shock you but data and testing including time in the wind tunnel are behind all of them and that's what I get into in this video.

Do We Even Need Gravel Bikes? Why I Race Gravel on a Drop Bar MTB

    UCI: - Ban dangerour positions to ensure riders are safe - Set minimum weight to ensure riders aren't paying fortunes for increasingly marginal gains or sacrificing comfort for minisule weight savings. - Set maximum sock leght to protect riders from looking silly.

    Another theory on the Lauf fork: Because of the steeper angle, it has a longer cross section horizontally, and this add to the other improvements as well?

  • @delyrium_
    @delyrium_ Před dnem

    Well, of course there aren't a ton of academic studies over oval chainrings and that's because of their limited benefits for the athlete..they did a few tests and studies in the past and found out their benefits and that was it...if the claimed benefits were let's say over 20% or more, then you would see loads of studies and tests made out there to see if that's really true or not, but as long as they only bring just a marginal gain then of course no reputable companies would make huge studies or tests on them, only the companies that produce oval chainrings will order those specific tests and studies to be made. The only thing you can do is just try the product for a certain amount of time and convince yourself if it is for you or not. There is no absolute truth to the oval rings, for some will work and for some won't, depending on every individual in part and of course based on their fitness levels.
