That’s a good tip, thanks 🙏

Hmm, interesting. I would have thought that the flex in the frame would dampen some of the vibration.

Thanks! He is around 188cm I think. I don’t know about the drop, but that’s not what matters here.

Yes, but I don’t really want to do that at this point. I might need it for regular 2x. The chain compatibility is a bit of a minefield, but 11spd Shimano surely sounds better than SRAM in terms of efficiency. I have yet to try that.

We didn’t test it, as it was not a realistic scenario to do the race without a bottle. In most cases, you’re lucky to be neutral with a bottle.

Cheers, it was a job well done 💪 you will get them next time

hahah 😆

It’s a matter of time

@ronykuba he'll be here once he's done doing 8% climbs(while weighing over 100kg) at 12mph/20kph) on his fixie!!!

@@veganpotterthevegan you forgot to mention STEEL

@@ronykuba oh yeah! With square taper cranks and a baggy kilt

Thanks for sharing! As for wide handlebars, it’s the opposite of what I am looking for 🙃

I have sold it

Thanks 🙏

SW Recon

A small reduction in drag will always outweigh a tiny reduction in weight. An aero gravel bike will not be close to the weight limit at the current state of technology.

@@ronykuba Ah so if the race is like 25 km/h and bumpy you still pick aero, got it.

@@___Bebo___ it never is 25km/h. My last two races averaged 36 and 32km/h.

@@ronykuba Is there a point where the course is so slow that weight weenie gravel would be superior to aero gravel?

@@___Bebo___ that would require a massive amount of climbing. The toughness of the surface itself is usually more of a factor

And I should buy a Ford Model T because I want to race it in formula one and become the next Lewis Hamilton.

@@rasmuswi 🏁🏁Ford was a Nazi..

What a stupid comment

true

As far as I know, there’s no high performance bicycle on the market that would be made of plastic. Although, pretty much the same can be said of steel…

From my bank account.

@@ronykuba I have more to offer. Respectfully. It’s really no one’s business. Secondly at 25k+ subs and many more thousands that view his channel who are not subscribed position Ronnie as an in-expensive marketing solution to Bicycle, Component & Gear manufactures. Third. He carries credibility as an athlete having demonstrated successful performances at high levels. Fourth and lastly. There might be more. His savvy of technical information and ability to articulate his content is clear and professional. Most companies would find that an absolute win win. Great for everyone.

@@roadglide well said, thanks for that 🙏 The truth is that I have been working hard on my business for the past few years to be in this position.

@@ronykuba it wasen’t meant as an insult just interested, are you an ex-pro?

@@matsvancoppenolle5796 Then ask that.

Yeah yeah sure…

I don’t know, I can’t really say the same. It’s race bike, so it’s stiff of course, but 95% of the compliance comes from the tires anyway.

Ok

Was that music? The bro just trying to be fancy,

You can just cut it anywhere across and peel it off.

I would say probably between 0.3-0.33m2. I don’t know about any endurance sport that would have weight categories.

@@ronykuba there is a clydesdale division in many triathlons.

@lechprotean weight should "typically" come with offsetting power for CDA but of course, everyone is different and many very light people will also have a high CDA for countless reasons. Near me, there's an uphill TT series and they do have a clydesdale subcategory at 90kg. There's only one of the TTs that would be worth doing on a TT bike and that's really only true for people that are very strong. *I'm 90kg and +40 state champion here in Utah. I'd be absolutely destroyed and embarrassed doing the uphill TTs in the open division🙃 But in the flat TT championships, two cat 1s beat my time in the overall. They were definitely smaller than me but they didn't win because I'm bigger than they are. Overall though, cycling is a sport for small people. Just go out there and have fun and work on getting as fast as you can for you if you wanna do TTs.

@@veganpotterthevegan nice 👍

@ronykuba thanks, it's fun fun coming back from gaining a lot of weight after a car accident😅

Yep, every choice is highly individual. That’s why we need the tests in the first place 🙃

@@ronykuba another topic. I cant see why almost all mono chainrings with 4 bolt holes have a cutout. This is not very aero

@@robertgreiner4703 it wouldn’t really be possible to fit them otherwise. It’s needed to clear the crankarm and/or power meter.

@@ronykuba thank you for advise

@@robertgreiner4703 👍

It’s pretty common to see a 10-15% improvement for a first time tester.

Don’t worry, crank length is not really a function of height 🙃

I am 185cm with long cycling inseam and I only use 165mm, go for it, it's so much easier and more comfortable. Only use long cranks if you are racing and your coach told you to.

Thanks. The results are the customer’s proprietary information and thus not to be published. I can only share the results of my own tests.

No, it’s a Dash combo seatpost

@@ronykuba Have you tested it, how much is the saving at 45 kmh?

@@volksvorraeter not yet

Yes, I always do the analysis immediately so we know which direction to proceed in and also to see if everything is alright with the measurements. I always disable the auto cal and do it manually before each run.

Glad you like it 👍 Yes, that’s a marginal gain in itself. It’s from Wattshop

The INEOS factor has a big influence on that I think. Also, many people just assume that the most expensive product is the best.

Absolutely no doubt about that! We all know you’re the strongest, fastest, smartest person in the world. Although from your experience previous comments, I have assumed that you don’t care about such frivolous things as bike racing. Why the sudden change of heart?

can you drop your Strava profile here then please? Just want to get inspiration on how to be so strong as you

Blud is just trolling

​@@ronykuba apparently, going by what Bebo has said in the past with the speeds he holds in regular shorts and a t-shirt, Ganna wouldn't stand a chance against him🥴

​@@gaborlipcsei7782 he's never used a power meter. He just says he regularly drops serious cyclists on his fixie and can sustain pro speeds on his own😅

Glad you like it 👍

Glad you like it 👍 Those are some regular (and very old/torn) Vans. I have the OneCl ratchet installed on them.

@@ronykuba you bought them like that or was it a mod?

@@oreocarlton3343 it’s an add-on. Can be bought separately.

@@ronykuba brilliant, thanks for the tip!

I don’t understand, sorry

Thanks 🙏

How exactly do you do a dynamic balance of a bicycle wheel (=essentially a single plane object)? Differentiated colour of what? What is hole sys?

Hi. I meant "whole system", apologies for the miswriting. Despite being a narrow rotor, you've got a low inertia rotor plus a bench that has little (but more than -for instance- a bearing bench. First: assuming that imbalance force increases as per a square angular velocity law. I'd check if vertical forces due to umbalance dissapear with the added masses, rather than statically checking (wich also important to note, is better than not doing so). Measuring vertical forces of the wheel excited at angular velocity equal or near to operational comditio (assume 40-50km/h equivalence) can be done with accelerometers or gauges in a bench. Second, I'd do a second step with the whole system (tires and valves) and add again mass. Maybe using a distinct colour coding that helped to differenciate the wheel balancing and the tire+valve+wheel setup balance. What are your thoughts?

@@sergioahuirbretones I would say that it’s needlessly difficult and complicated, as static balancing works perfectly well in this application.

Well, it can go as simple as it follows for the RW: you can put the bike upside down, sit it on a scale, pedal applying the force upwards (to avoid contaminating the measurd) to simmulate angular velocity at race scenario (gear and cadence) and see how much max force it puts before and after. Its simple enough and and somewhat compliant with scientific method.

@@sergioahuirbretones again, unnecessary. The balance or lack of it is clearly visible when you spin it up in the workstand.

Glad you like it 👍 Carbon ti

Well, this is a 1min “short”. Can’t go more nuanced here. But good points nonetheless.

We will see about that 🤷

No problem 👍

…when your position is not correct, yes. Not my case though.

Yes, that’s exactly what I am doing in the video…

@@ronykuba You are using tape. The weights for golf clubs come in patches, and are a bit thicker.

@@cccpkingu ah, ok. Didn’t know that. I’ve bought these on a golf site as well.

Exactly 👍

Golf tape as I said in the video

That works, but also adds aero drag. Not ideal

Sounds like you stayed in 2000 as well.

@@ronykuba weird, as most team lads choose steel as their own, with usually my hand built wheels. Soz pal.

@@paulhiggins9492 sure, good luck racing with that in an elite level TT or race. Or any level for that matter.

@@ronykuba sorry, private bikes only went have or are being forced into carbon, we say carbon for TV steel for fun, a good steel or titanium frameset or and good wheels match any carbon, oh and we balance all wheels it's a good practice, good vlog though, take care man

@@paulhiggins9492 steel is slow and heavy. The only advantage is the price and durability.

Glad you liked it 👍

I can’t see how that would be true

Before valve is present yes.
