Doing indoors again and tried mywhoosh and i liked it. Not gonna pay for something that im gonna use for like 2-3x a week and i only need something to spin down on rainy days. Also i dont even look at the game itself im watching netflix or youtube when indoors lol So mywhoosh being free is a win for me :)

I'm sick and tired of the "sportswashing" narrative. Arabs deserve at least sliver of the slack given to the Europeans. I mean, why should we cry "sportswashing" whenever anything good comes out of the Arab Peninsula when the entire fucking European continent is able to wash away CENTURIES of colonialism, racial based slavery, human rights violations and war crimes? I mean, how long ago was that?

Indievelo is hands down the best indoors cycling app at the moment, be it racing or group riding! It's physics engine blows Zwift and other away!

For racing, Zwift can not be beaten. Indievelo is great (ugly and desolate) but no strava kind of kills all the fun of doing your best. Rouvy is an Atari version of zwift. (lol). I get tired of seeing traffic and pretty blah scenic rides. Even though it is authentic, I prefer zwift climb portals (yes, I said I disliked it at first). None of them are 100% worth the cost. But neither are groceries and gas.

A video explaining how the MyWoosh link app works would be very useful. I'm not able to pair it with my sessions and can't figure how to do it. Riding without the phone to choose the turns and all the other stuff can be very uncomfortable...

You're not missing anything when it comes to LA. Its complete trash.

Fun, well developed monologue. Good stuff.

You should try my out of the road get out of jail drink. Full fat coke and lucozade half and half in a bottle. Not sure if you can get lucozade is oz. It’s banging

I think this is probably ideal for the Europeans- I live in the USA CST time so the Sunday race club is 02:45 a.m. on Monday morning. Ummmm no. I was really stoked to see they finally added running which was why I was holding back from the Zwift switch- but then I looked closer at the Sunday race club offering and the times are not good for where I live.

Good video with not enough views.

curious to see if you followed the plan AI provided would you get the desired results?

Those 3 - 6 spoke wheels should really just be used on the velodromes. It is where it comes from and where it should stay. You need give on road wheels to put up with roads and to give good compliance, overly stiff wheels will give you the opposite on standard roads.

Good overview of the topic. I'd say that's a fair representation of how the majority of trainees would use either AI or human coaches. Sadly, I expect people just want to be told what to do and not have to think about the many nuances or understand the 'why'. "Just give me the pill Doc!" Much to their detriment. To get the most out of either AI or a human coach you need to take an active role in the decision-making process and feedback loop. You need to put the effort into understanding the purpose of the sessions, learn to listen to your body and interpret what it tells you, and dig a little into the science so that your feedback is as comprehensive and informative as possible. I expect there is already a cohort of riders attracted to AI based coaching. Even if they accept the inevitable result of putting little effort in being decidedly average output, they need to be aware that the AI language models at this stage of development are still prone to turning out absolute shite despite having all the world's info at their disposal.

Thank god! For over a week I thought this video would never happen 🙏😂

I find this a bit lackluster in terms of depth. A lot of the points you mention about using a coach vs AI can be done with AI. ChatGPT likely knows more than any coach you will find in the world, simply based on the fact that it has access to pretty much everything you could ever need in terms of information. It can tell you specifically why it suggests the things it does, you just have to ask. You have to know how to use the tools you have at hand. You have to know how to use your coach in order to get your money's worth. Just like you have to know how to use CGPT properly in order to get what you want out of it. The output of any AI, will only ever be as good as the input it was given. I have to say, the way you used AI in this video, is probably the least effort way to use it. If you use a coach you pay 100s of $ for in the same way, you wouldn't get much for your money either.

Just started using Whoosh and cancelled Zwift. I have a Zwift Hub and it works fine. Whoosh works great and totally fine for my indoor training use. I actually wish I used it earlier but the Zwift price bump motivated me to try it. Glad to be saving that money for coffee stops instead :) It always bothered me how limited the training enviros and kit choices were in Zwift, considering I'm paying for the service. I feel like I have very similar choices for free on Whoosh and the actual experience is very similar.

Monocoque wheels are always going to beat spoked for maintenance. All the issues with truing, corrosion, and all the broken spoke, rounded nipple issues are just gone. For a general riding wheel or commuting, any monocoque wheel is better. (And if you want lateral stiffness, just run a disc wheel) Unpopular opinion, but lateral stiffness is almost irrelevant so long as the wheel/tire isn't rubbing on the frame. If you even feel the wheel flexing when you ride, you need to improve your technique and reduce your own lateral inefficiency of movement.

Maybe, but maybe not. I'm holding out for peak torque's aero tests. If these are fast aerodynamically, I couldn't care less about lateral stiffness for TTs.

How did you crack the carbon setting them up tubeless, would really like to know.

From the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🖖🖖

I would never buy bladed wheels...

I just got my hands on a pair of used bikeahead Road wheels….happy to hear your comment

That's feckin' hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

Lateral stiffness is important for cornering and out of plane stuff but maybe gcn guy was talking about torsional stiffness which is harder to test but makes wheels feel good accelerating

hmm. I saw the Trace Velo video and didn't think of something until seeing yours. Some of that lateral deflection could be from the hub itself, hub axel interface, hub to wheel interface, etc. It would be interesting to see what amount of flex there is from the 6 spoke carbon design itself vs with the hub and if it would be possible to separate hub and hub/wheel interface play from wheel flex. Would also be interesting to see some wind tunnel data on the 6 spoke as they don't look aero to me.

100%. Elite Wheels are not a good company to deal with. Keep away from them and stick to the proper brands.

Just buy another pair its made in china and cheapo, thats the whole point. Even chinese do not buy their own products but save up to invest in quality.

Why is the woke generation always surprise when a made in china product snaps is beyond me. So naive this generation.

Bikeahead spokes look way less aero though :(

I love "Burgess roasts GCN" videos 😂

Elves do a set. There is also many others making them.

Great vid dude.. man I gotta say kudos for testing the flex of the wheels I was cringing.. lol.. I wouldn’t go with those elite 6 spoke wheels not for me 🚴🏻👍Pete

Awesome Vid! Those Caden wheels look Niiiiiiiiiiice as Borat would say 😉 The six spoke jobbies though........ not so much 😕

Great vid mate

Great insight and input to this conversation Burgess, and at the same time Kudos to Luke for providing his honest input as well. From what I've seen of his content, it's usually easy to watch his videos and walk away with enough information to take my own calculated risks. I think for the case of these funky 6 spoke wheels, Elite got it wrong. My only data being the visual appearance of the BikeAhead's spoke design vs Elite's, the Bikeahead appear far less aerodynamic. The spokes are much wider; at their center they have a sort of spine that sticks out towards the outside of the hubs all the way to the outside of the rim, which is crucial because it forms the triangle truss found on conventional spokes that Luke was talking about. Which leads me to believe Elite was aiming purely for aerodynamics, and believed they could get away with a narrower, more blade shaped spoke profile while still retaining lateral stiffness thanks to their carbon construction. They didn't get away with it, as Luke demonstrated quite clearly. I wouldn't go so far as to making a blanket statement that Elite wheels suck though. Luke does thoroughly test the different models he uses and I was satisfied enough with his results (and other youtuber's) to take a chance on a newer (visually different) version of his cheapest ever set (Elite ENT disc). I also asked Elite to upgrade my spokes to Sapim CX Ray's, so basically for about $500 I get to say I had a company overseas build custom wheels just for me, that's pretty neat I think. 😎 More importantly though, even if I only got them this spring, and have only ridden them about 1000km, they have been flawless so far and a significant improvement to the alloy wheels they replaced. I'm quite sure I would have spent more locally on alloy wheels that wouldn't ride anywhere near as good as these and I don't have any reason to believe they won't last either. Hey @elitewheelscycles send Burgess a set of Drive's built to his specifications for review please?

And then weeeeee! Love it❤

Spot on

More of these please 😂

Jump into a Team GRC Sunday Short Race, we have a great group of regular racers and are attracting more every ride. All are welcome, all abilities

I think if we were to examine how many things are funded we'd end up in the same lane. For example, Zwift took a huge chunk of investment not that long ago to fund growth and because some of that came from investment funds it could, realistically, be partly greenwashed (is that a word) too. Obviously not on the scale of UAE-backed ventures, but it is likely. This is a good overview of MyWhoosh, I never raced on Zwift but I do remember all the 'how do I..?' searches when I started nearly 6 years ago, before third parties like Zwift Insider and GP Lama picked up the slack for Zwift. And that is where I think MyWhoosh do a much better job, they interact with riders where Zwift left it to others and the community to help fix issues. I'm not sure I have left Zwift, I only used it in winter and the 25km free in the summer months if outside was awful, but as a non-racing, training indoors to supplement other sports, kinda rider who never really understood the social side of Zwift then MyWhoosh fits my uses. If Zwift had raised their fee incrementally, not in one bit hit, then I may never have looked around at alternatives but I am now a few hundred KM into MyWhoosh - blame the awful summer here in Sweden for that - and I see no reason to re-start Zwift when winter gets here. Also glad that CZcams suggested your channel, subscribed. Keep it up. Ride On 😉

Then Magnus Cort posts a video of him kissing his wife on course the day before 😂 That scene is bad for cycling and fining someone for it! Literally Orwellian down is up and up is down behavior.

Love the metaphors bro!😄😄😄

50 years on a bike and I've never worn headphones. Never will. Do yourself a favour - stay alert, stay alive.

Excellent review mate, although I don't wear headphones when riding or running. I prefer to focus on the activity and use it as an opportunity to get noise out of my head rather than put noise in. I find the mental clarity after decent ride or run is a huge buzz. I do have a pair of Jabra 7 Elite Active headphones that I used indoors when sweeping on Zwift rides to coordinate other sweepers. They work well, but that's all they were used for.

For real. Wtf is uci thinking?

For bike rides the shokz are a perfect choice. I have an other model but you can hear still the traffic around you. My models batteries only last for around 6 hours. So for long rides you have to consider that you can’t listen to music all the time.

Awesome collection!!

So much Renshaw. Loved it.

Some great memories, that side on shot in Paris from 2009 still amazes me to this day. How fitting was it that Renshaw was in the team car for number 35?
