Im willing to accept it .i want Road bike to for my hobby . to get longer miles i road . 😅
Hello #GCN Tech . Do you have an old riadbike that you sir didnt use anymore? Can I have it ? please 🤭 f
#DreamRoadBike ❤️
Hey Oliver. My crank was making a squeaking noise that got worse. So I put a little oil inside or tried, with bike on floor on its side. Next day was terrible and bearings cracking and terribly embarrassingly noisy – so was looking into changing to a new one. 3 days later was not making much of a noise. Now today was super quiet. No cracking at all. What happened? And do I need a new bottom bracket. Thanks! #askgcntech
If you want a second hand pro bike, visit the Canyon website (outlet page). They have a range of bikes you can buy and you can also see who rode them.
thumbs up for the laptop stickers from brands i too apprecciate.
Goodluck getting a used Pro Bike. Even the Rich cant acquire them. That bike Mechanic have dozens of friends who will buy it all 100%!
I might buy two kickstand so i can stand the bike on both sides
I know this Tech was from a while ago. But just for info, many teams particularly a lot of the smaller outfits have held onto their 2020 team bikes. This is due to a shortage of new frames & equipment in the current Covid situation…..
For the kickstand why not suggest a floor stand instead?!
To reduce friction, the chain parts must be made to tighter tolerances and improved finishes. I wonder what the jump in cost would be
#askGCNTech what entry level road bikes would you recommend?
Omg wolverine reviewing about bike
#askGCNTech Hi im just asking if 60t and 40t are compatible when you make a 2by crank…Thank you!
Talked to a SRAM Technican recently, he said, that the chain would make the moste difference in shifting performance. He specificly recommendet replacing the chain to a better one, if you want better shifting performance.
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU GUYS ACTUALLY ENTERTAINED SOME NOOBS QUESTION ABOUT A KICKSTAND ! Tell him buy a madone and see if there is anywhere to mount one !
I do wonder about the intelligence of roadies. Some of the questions are stupid.
#AskGCNTech do you blow dry your bikes after a deep bike wash?
YES, but from shimano to sram, and better yet CAMPY RECORD. 5.8 – 5.5 and 5.3mm delta so imagine the campy clearance advantage, shimano chains are garbage. The metallurgy on sram is superior, and Campy absolutely superior. i credit campy chains with a 0.75-1 km hr gain due to better stiffness, better engagement and 3300 kms to slight wear for replacement. but some shimano 105-DA chains lasted me 2 weeks, 700-800 kms? before clearly softening.l ditched them forever.. also also use a secret lubricant but either or, licensed riders are shocked when i catch up at 40 km hr with a quieter shiny chain..key shimano flaws include softer metal, WIDER due to poor metallurgy, too low modulus (noodle twists), side vibration and wind sensitivity..and tried 105-DA chains for years. 40,000 kms of campy and sram yes they are superior and faster.oh yea i also switched to sram hyperglide cassettes as shimanos are garbage (plastic core upper t), versus sram 1190 monoblock superior alloy…all and all i gained 1.5-2 km hr by switching chain cables and cassette. rest is shimano..
I wish I have a nice bike 🚲 like them…😁😁any one have scrap 😂😂
Oh come on. Terrible advice about leaning bike against wall. Get a ground tire stand! duh
NEVER buy a bike from a cycling proffessional ……you never know how much km it will have……..as a sport professional you must have killer-instinkt…..(all for me nothing for the others) and so they will sell their old material………;-))
I really understand where he is coming from not wanting to lean his bike against walls. A lightweight kickstand isn't a terrible idea and 99% of them are easily removed when he decides he no longer wants it, if he does.
Unless you're racing, get a kickstand, mud/chain-guards, pannier rack etc..
The amount of things that add extra watts of power…i feel like i should be holding 50kmph on the flat with only 70 watts if i buy a new bike and top wheels.
We all know what happened to the bikes Trek supplied to the U.S. Postal Service team
So much for advice, I have a kick stand on every bike I have. Simply because, I am not a pro ciclist and my bike was not designed to stand on its own.
#askGCNTech Is it possible to replace an integrated stem with a more "traditional" stem? I am giving my Willer Cento10pro to my GF and it has an integrated stem/bar system that is obviously slammed. We would like to get her sitting up a bit higher and more comfortably and wondering if it can be done
🤯
I bought Primoz Roglic’s bike from 2021 direct from Jumbo Visma bought on Catawiki auction site..hopefully he wins TDF & I make a few quid 😁🇬🇧
Lots of bike brands e.g. canyon sell team bikes on the website
Just bought a team ag2r Citroen BMC SLR full campagnola super record EPs ,best thing I've done all year,so cool still has riders name sticker on frame,love it.
Can you pud 10 speed rear derailleur (deore) on a roadbike #AskGCNTech
A cycle shop here i Copenhagen denmark where i live. buys a bigger portion of the tdf bikes and sells Them in the shop
They don't give any of them to me, so we can tick that one off the list.
