campagnolo – official launch 20th June 2025
#askgcntech, question for oly, after a Zwift race or hard interval session, what would you suggest is a good recovery spin and how long ? Training for a hot 70.3
Thanks 🤩
No Bianchi aquila feature?
The Team Jayco TT bike 1x chainrings are done by a Aussie company called Sync Ergonomics and are made in collaboration with cSixx
I've always hear that turbo Cottons were superb tires, but I've never tried them. Please sell me or send the file over for those 3D print Wahoo mounts.
68 teeth ? Exactly what I need for climbing… at the rear.
Stems are all too long. No wonder they're always crashing.
It looks like Canyon already has that new cockpits(without negative stem angel) on new(refreshed) Ultimate CF 7 on the website now
Get your shekels out Goys… New Tech Is Here. 🤨
The chainrings in the Jayco Alula’s bikes are from a small Australian company
absolutely obnoxious that whoever took the pictures of the Pininfarina didn’t get a single one of the whole bike.
Let’s hear it for Alex “Sub 10hour UNBOUND” Paton!!!!!
Gun Time 9:57:32
Chip Time 9:57:26
Total Distance 202.5MILES
Finish position* at the time of this post…
Elite 51/83
Overall 80/115
*riders still on course.
I'm pretty sure Jayco's chainring isn't from Shimano, it's from Sync Ergonomics.
No tengo nada en contra de la IA, pero no hay como la voz del ser humana, son su escencia y su interpretacion de las cosas.
To many cool bikes to choose from
Jayco Alula rings are probably from Csixx work with Sync.
1:30 does anybody know the saddle bag Visma uses?
The De Rosa looks incredible. Good to see campag back on the tour as well
love it
Blips on the underside of the handlebar are not a “hack.” Zipp (owned by Sram) has handlebars designed specifically for this, showing that this is a standard use of Blips.
What is that hollow chain that works with SRAM at the end?
5:30 these mounts are a fairing and should be illegal per UCI rules, but just like with the y1rs mount, UAE can get away with it because they have Pogačar and the UCI need to prop up the biggest name in the sport
7:30 they are sync ergonomics chainrings
When is ABS disk brake coming?
I thought teams couldn't run equipment that isn't commercially available? Is this something they've changed recently?
It's not pronounced "derail-ee-er" but "derailer". Yes, it originates from French, but a derailleur's job is to "derail" the, same as a shifter's job is to shift, which is why it's not a "shift-ee-er". Also, your Italian colleague's first name is not "George-ee-oh", but "George-ooh" – the "I" is silent and only there you pronounce the "G" as in, uhm, "George" and not as in "go".
you can buy the lowered stem already. Just have to buy the Tensor in order to get it.
just had to shameless throw in that vision wheel plug, didn't you?
campy is only good at adding gears.🤣🤣🤣
68t! First thought Josh Tarling. Then you mentioned Ineos. Get in! Such a shame he couldn't finish
that BMC looked wild
That larger front chain ring is for hauling arse..😮
We haven’t had any official word from campagnola on the new super record as to what exactly it is
Yes, you just described it in great detail. Case closed
@gcntech the chainrings on the Jayco bike is Sync Ergonomics rather than Shimano
Despite all the hot stuff there still is only one winner!
I'm just looking at which bike would be best for getting to the store and back.
why don't they just make the frames on time trial bike bigger ? then they wouldn't have to keep putting all those spacer und the aero bars to give that praying mantis position I don't expect there would be hardly any difference in weight and I think it would look better the front end of tt bikes always look like they have been cobbled together.
Rumour has it, de rosa bikes are made by… Flybike, a large Chinese OEM. That also makes carbonda, tavelo, adapt bikes. Italian heritage my ass.
That ENVE computer mount was pretty slick
'Cockpit'. Lol
Pretty key sign no one from GCN could get out there.
What ever happened to the UCI rule that states all equipment used in UCI races must be available for public purchase within 12 months of first use?
Only Jonas or riders riding with him can ride the new S5
