This freaking legend just won Unbound!
Adding to that, first Aussie winner, I am very stoked about that 😀
Whats this? Some american fake bike racing?😂
@@grzZzesiek Plenty of Euro riders doing it, whatever works for you.
@@GravelCyclist lol and so? It’s still what i said
@@grzZzesiek Lighten up Francis.
"A real-world bike. No bullshitting around." LOVE IT! Great video! Thx~!
I so love Lachlan. He's not the least bit bound by convention, rules or "shoulds". Looking forward whatever adventures he's chasing this season.
He's the 2024 unbound winner! Chad Haga made a gamble and tried to breakaway from him with about a mile to go. Lachlan was able to close the gap and then sat behind him resting until the finish line. Then the finish sprint, Lachlan was more rested and easily took it riding no hands with arms up in the air in victory. Real road racing tactics from two world tour pros. Incredible racing! Need to see their race bikes.
Congrats to him! He passed me on my ride in unbound! Dude is a beast, but super chill.
I always thought it'd be a really down to earth ride to meet up with Lachlan and head out. Granted we'd end up 1000 miles from the starting point, but it'd be a good story.
I-did-it-my-way personified. Super stoked for his win
very nice, waited for that! love that di2 setup with the hanging box.
Saddle bodge is wild.
Excellent. Love the content. Thank you.
you dont need a clutched derailer on a 2x - the front mech keeps the chain on -
Insane, 53/39 chain rings! He is so powerful. Here I'm riding a 34t single ring.
Indeed, Lachlan is next level. 39x32 low gear.
Since he’s moved away from road racing, he’s a much happier man . Love Lm
Sweet vid GC. 💯
Great guy to win. Good for the sport because LM is so DTE.
PS: Durianrider spec seat angle. IYKYK.
make a video talking about unbound 2024 😃
can you explain why putting the saddle so far forward?
He could get a 2cm layback post and flip it around 180 degrees. Not that someone 8 stone would break the current configuration. Loved watching his EF vids, seems a top bloke.
…or not use a 100mm stem flipped upside down…
Congratulations Mr Lachlan, you are the man...
Sooooo cool 😎 🤘
awesome :)
Got to love a bike that looks ridden!
Spot on. Lachlan is not faaaarking around.
Very cool vid.
It’s got be 😎 cool. Lachlan is the epitome of cycling cool!
Lachy is just a f*ckin legend.
I am a little surprised that 45 mm tyres work better than smaller sized ones given the relatively high speed they are traveling. For example Mohoric won the Gravel WC 2023 on 40 mm tyres and that was a gnarly course.
I have an old Cannondale R600 done up with modern components. If you are familiar with old Cdales you know the cable guides on the top tube are fragile and hard to properly replace.
Well im missing mine in the middle and say i leave it to let me know im going fast.
So im basically Lachy...
Love the outro comment at 4:14 :)
I keep it real around here 😀
@GravelCyclist Great video! any idea about the pump he has next to the bottle?
Thank you! Pump is the Muc-Off AirMach Carbon Pump.
Bike fitters everywhere heads just exploded. Just position saddle where it feels best. Save the $250 for a bike fit 😂
Along with the keyboard experts out there. Whatever works for Lachlan, may not work for you. I would say his Unbound 200 victory today is ample proof bike setup is very personal. Accepted norms don't always win!
I GUARANTEE Lachlan has had many many bike fits to find what works for him.
he always seems like such a nice bloke in interviews.
and the guys an absolute missile on the bike.
OZZY OZZY OZZY! OI OI OI!
Today, Lachlan won the Unbound 200 gravel race... Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi! indeed. First Aussie rider to accomplish this feat :)
Wow that’s massive! Didn’t know he did. Well deserved
Congrats Lachan on Unbound!
100%!
4:05. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
nice to see a real bike
What is the pump he has? Looks sleek
Those are great tyres in the 45-50 range. The older GRX DI2 levers look nicer than the new 12spd ones.
The older GRX Di2 levers are marginally smaller than the new wireless units, not much else is different.
@GravelCyclist Apparently the 12spd's are rounder, which would increase comfort. They do look more bulbous at the end and less pointy. The new ones kinda remind me of the little Xenomorph that bursts out the guys chest in the movie Alien.
@@siy01 I have a set of 12 speed GRX Di2, I can confirm 100% how the new levers feel, etc. You can see this video on my channel.
I slam my saddle far forward also aids in steep technical climbing
There are a couple of seatposts out there that allow you to do that on the fly... then, slide it back to the original position. Quite tricky.
What pump is that?
Yeah, wonder that too!
Muc-Off AirMach Carbon Pump.
Can anyone tell me what saddle he was using on this bike? “Q” something?? Great video. Lachlan is a special rider for sure.
Prologo
@@luzikedy1 I have Prologo NDR's - they are the best imo.....spent $100's looking for the right saddle.....this is purrfect 😊
@@blaze1148 it's a good saddle. A little on the hard side though.
@@gabespartan ...the shape is far more important than the hardness....the shape obviously isn't for you.
Missing the clearance at the rear yoke…very important for mud.
Not a factor this year, fortunately for Lachlan.
What's the tire width ?
It was mentioned in the video.
In the video, Lachlan says he's running Vittoria Terreno Drys 45mm. But in post-race photos it looks like he went with slighly different tires for the race - Front was Vittoria Terreno Dry 29x2.1 (622 x 54 mm) and rear tire was Vittoria Mezcal - hard to make out the width due to the mud on the tire but maybe 45mm.
53 39 thật tuyệt! Nó đã rút đích chiến thắng. Chúc mừng anh bạn.
Bikefitters hate this guy and his one simple trick.
Sound

Forward saddle position “helps with my back” as next view is the 120mm, slammed, negative rise stem. 🤦♂️
What works for Lachlan may not work for you.
@@GravelCyclist you are 100% correct but when there is a mention of back issues and then you see the stem set up you have to wonder. Just saying….
Everything is relative, probably helps him with his back when he is in the aero position he needs to be in. He’s a racer and if he can’t be in a race position because of his back then he will probably quit racing.
@@Bikerider52x11if he says it works for him you'd have to wonder how you'd know any better what would work for him 🤔 If only he had the comment section brains trust to save him from himself...
Higher front does not always help back issues. Sometimes more hip rotation and lower front end does hence saddle forward. Bike fitting is weird like that.
Mmm silver cranks are way cleaner than black
And extra classy 😀👌
Cannondale si cranks worst crank system on the planet
But good enough for Lachlan. What is your issue with them?
He dont give a shit,he get equipment for free.
They are prone to failure,cracks,spindles are extremely soft,preload system is very poor.
I'll take dub or shimano any day of the week.
And man,did you se the price of sisl's-more then 1000€ for crank without powermeter🤮🤮
Pro rider who is afraid or racing other pros! Must b awesome beating weekend warriors with real jobs...
Lol he just won Unbound.
@@batman3841 exactly peanut! Field of amateur riders and some retired pros!
@@burnsy9999 Showing your ignorance dude!
Tons of pros in the events LM rides. He’s racing them, not the amateurs. There are pros besides the people you see on Grand Tours and Classics. Plus you’re assuming winning is the priority for him - says more about your perspective than his.
