What was your favourite part of the Lotto Soudal mechanic's truck?
Global Cycling Network campy wheels...
Thought it was Bob's your auntie 😁
C A M P A G N O L O!!!!!!!!
The best part is when Jon does the tour of the mechanic's truck !
The utter sadness I felt in seeing so many spare, un-used parts that I can't afford, and that probably won't even be used.
Jon Canning + Truck Tour = More than 10 min video.
Probobly took one hour to film and one hour to get him to leave after. :)
I turned the video off 5 minutes in after reading this comment.
My mouth dropped when you opened the door with all the Campagnolo parts!
Well, the inner mechanic in me couldn't stop drooling with all these fancy parts nicely tucked away. The thing that cought my eye even more was all those coloured compartments with so many spare bits and pieces. With that in my shop, I could find answers to all my fixing needs. Get me an espresso so I can stare so more. Great story angle for us nerds. Cheers!
That truck is filled with tons of hyper nice bikes and tech!
If I were Jon, I would be like a kid in a candy store!
Or "a Cannings in a cycling teams mechanics truck." as it will soon be known.
“What is my favourite part of the tour?” It’s Jon’s nuggets of knowledge!! 🎯🎯🎯
The cutoff wheel in the angle grinder is used to field destroy parts that have failed as per sponsor requirements (similar to that tire you found).
A Campy lover's dream stash! Great tour, Jon!
Title of this should be "Jon, gets carried away". Has there ever been such a thorough truck tour...
Thanks Jon, we need more of this content...
John getting his gummy hands on every corner of Lotto mechanic truck! More John mechanic truck videos pls!
Favorite part is Jon's voice going all high pitched and squeaky when he open the drawer full of misc. spare parts. That's a cutoff wheel on the angle grinder.
One of the best truck tours I have ever seen 👍👍
Thanks John & GCN, this was brilliant. I think I'd have left the truck so weighed down with lifted parts I would have fallen over.
Now that is how to do a proper Mechanic Truck video. Great job, Jon!
Glad you like it Jim!
"Little boy in a sweetie shop" You can't knock Jon's enthusiasm. .
Jon is the best!
Jons equivalent of a candy store. 😉
Love the truck tour, completely drool worthy.
So cool! Thank you so much! Kitchen truck next?
Wow a big hidden box full of campagnolo components. It is like be in the paradise.
Nice one Jon, I do like a good mechanics truck tour! Campag SR EPS as well!!!! *drool*
please let Jon do more team mechanic truck review
I think I just died and went to Campagnolo heaven! LOL
need more video like this!
Thanks for the video !!
That Video GCN was WICKED PISSAH COOL!🙂
Ridley and Campagnolo. Nothing could be better - discuss.
Fab presentation, Jon.
This has inspired me to go out and tidy up my workshop.
Does anyone need any Huret Allvit 5 speed spares?
Canyon-Sram is better
@@strandkorbst9643 Steve, I don't really know to be honest.
However, I've never liked the backward facing signwriting on Canyon, Campag is far cooler and Ridley colour schemes leave the American brand trailing.
(Ok, I have a Ridley).
lol
@@Ystadcop nahh canyon bikes do have epic colors (ok maybe not this one) but the team katusha alpecin aeroad looks epic (also canyon is a German brand)
@@strandkorbst9643 German? German! ACH, zat settles it!!!
@@Ystadcop hahahah
Great video Jon, i'd love to see you make an alignment jig on your lathe. Although this one looks more to me like it's bolted together from aluminium extrusions than turned on CNC
Awesome content!
your flemish was the best part :-)
I had to mop up a puddle of drool when John opened the second floor compartment.
😂
Awesome - I would be interested if they use a Bookkeeping Software to keep track over all the parts in this "warehouse" aka Truck. For replenishment reasons.
The wheels r soooo cool
#campagnolo COOL!!
Will Campagnolo offer NEW WTO BORA wheelset in tubulars as well as current tubeless ?
Also props for rocking Adidas Handball 5 Plugs Sneaker ;) Casual Culture also on Cyclists :-)
got my brooks leather saddle today did a quick 5 miles i think it will take some breaking in.had 4 teeth out as well they said dont do to much you have this to come when you reach my age lads lol.
Jon is great!
Just noticed that the derailleur next to Jon is having ceramic bearings in both pulley wheels, but as far as i remember, only the bottom pulley wheel on Campy SR had ceramic bearings. Maybe they changed it between model years? Or maybe it’s just for the teams? Does anyone know?
Mr Cannings, it's obvious, the angle grinder is used for covert operations on competitor team's bikes.
Hi Jon, theres hundreds of thousands of bikes out there with post mount disc brakes such as TRP Spyres or TRP HY/RD. Now that Shimano has brought out Tiagra 4720 Hydraulic Shifters, upgrading these to hydraulic is quite a cheap upgrade. HOWEVER... they only bundle them with the flat mount standard! Seems like a massive oversight, as loads of people with post mount brakes will miss out. However, you can buy them seperately.... so....... can you do a video upgrading to Tiagra 4720 hydraulic and matching it up to some kind of post mount hydraulic calliper, and what hoses, etc you need and how to do it? I bet tons and tons of people will want to do that upgrade. It might even convince Shimano to bring out a "post mount" upgrade kit! Cheers Jon!
Any tips for cleaning gum sidewall tyres?
8:56 love it if you can explain the use of talcum powder!
Helps stop the friction you get with rubber. It basically stops it sticking to whatever your using it for.
You should run a competition to win a GCN bottle if you can guess the amount of wheels in the truck. Some £££££ in there. Johns like a kid in a sweet shop.
What would be the retail value of everything in that truck when fully loaded with 45 bikes and all of that other stuff...? Over a million euro I reckon. Scary!
When is the pit stop challenge coming?
Gahh.. I wish they could just give me a bike/wheel from that truck. There's so much !!
On the heat gun, heating up the tubulars will help o remove them when the glue has set.
I am curious what they are using the angle grinder for. Unless they are using it to cut locks when fans lock themselves to the team bus. 🤣
hi Michael, probably cutting down bolts, steerers etc. Sadly, time is never on a mechanics side. cheers, Jon
Interesting to watch. Those team bikes... Eyecandy, is that the word for it? I’m also genuinely impressed by Jon’s memory and knowledge of small intricate details I wouldn’t have noticed unless I had years of experience from the industry.
Thanks Nima. Yeah, Jon's been around for a while...
Eye candy,sure but I prefer the term bike porn.
@Global Cycling Network Do pro mechanics 'balance' all the wheelsets?
Campagnolo, gum wall tyres and rim brakes only. Yeah, Lotto Soudal definitely has some of the nicest bikes in the pro peloton. In seasons past even more so when the Ridley Helium frames had that classic ,,flandria'' inspired paintjob. Think it was the 2015 season and maybe the one thereafter.
Love you guys i want a roadbike right bike 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😌 i wish i ua one
Do you think they cut the old tubular to get the inner tube? I see a lot of pros using that celeste inner tube for bar tape.
Who does that?
@@newttella1043 check the recent pro bike videos from GCN at the giro
wow! So I think is the paradise, standing in the middel of a van full of campagnolo parts. Best cycling parts for money to buy. Whats the name of this japanese parts who copy the ideas of the others in Italy or from the third company in business? I forgot the name, I only think and dream in italyan´s campa....
When Jon pulled out that drawer my hearth started to beat. Oh dear... its called porn. Need more videos like this
can i pick 1 set :) problem im too heavy :(
You did not show what size air compressor they use for tire inflation!
Nice bikes. Did you meet the poor fellow responsible for Campenaerts's terrible bike change?
What do they use the grinder for?
Savage Poet 😂 that's pretty good
I won't rob a bank, I will rob a team's truck
Why do they glue tubulars? is it so when you have slow puncture it doesn't affect the riding as much? I'm curious always seen/heard it but never got why :D
Based on the previous GCN video, a pro mechanic says it's essentially because the heat build up when descending and brake at speed Using glue it shouldn't be a problem, while pros would risk there life with the tub tape.
there is no lip for a tubular tyre to stick to, it is essentially a rounded surface the tyre is mounted on. Pressure keeps it in place generally but you really want the glue and don't even ask what happens when you puncture and the try to corner. No pressure means it rolls off the rim, you only have the glue to rely on
@@annecormac871 good to know I don't have to worry I don't glue my tires on :D
@Savage Poet I'm not gluing my tubulars xD
@Savage Poet haven't had any issues so far, I dont do race and have some alloy rims with continental tires. everything works just fine
Can you do a tech video on how to use talcum powder?
What about a tour of all the tools?
secret stash, cabinet, campy wheels
How full were your pockets after this tour? 😄
Very
They use hot air guns to remove old tubular glue from rims... you better be careful but it makes this job quite pleasant
I'm using acetone to remove tubular glue residue from the rim bed on my Spinergy Rev-X carbon fiber race wheels. I'm second owner of these wheels and the old Vittoria Juniores tubular tires were still on the wheels. I was finally able to peel them off carefully by hand and flat metal tool. The residue cleaning is taking a long time.
Doing well on your dutch pronounciation!
bedankt jongen. Jon.
If a rider punctured on a tubeless tyre with sealant, what could be the potential energy savings from not chasing back after a traditional wheel change? I'm sure this has been asked, but I'm too lazy to google etc. I can appreciate the weight weenies may well be outraged at the though of 25 grams of sealant.
I wonder if they even know they punctured. 25 grams of sealant probably weigh less than the tube inside a tubular, no?
"It looks like a trap door, and it's not..." Camera pans down to the trap door. What else would you call that lol?
no trap behind that door
Where's the Edgar?
I must've just witnessed about a million dollars of bike stuff, not including the truck itself.
Remember it's Campagnolo so it's probably double that. 😊🤔😉
Anything in this truck is any cyclist's wet dream. Beggars belief how much money has been spent on this!
@man0z True, but that's not going to happen. Statistically, the more you cycle, the more likely you are to get injured. And the quicker you go, the more severe the injury.
Please lock me in the trap door.
... so many syringes! 😊
I'm trying really hard to like GCN, but it's just not the same without Matt. :(
yeah, especially Matt's team bus tours.. they were the reason I subscribed
@@888johnmac He was the best! LOL
Room raiders
How can I steal this truck? Nobody should look at me "funny". I am just saying what you are all thinking.
Spare syringes..... check
Is that lotto mechanic that ruined the time trial still there??
@Savage Poet if he doesnt give a fork thats more reason to axe him! But realistically all this money and time and parts and preparation and tools and testing and training and sponsors etc etc.... and u cant even put the bike in a proper gear... on top of that you push the guy before he even gets on the bike! What a bloody dumb ass
2min 50secs "Looks like a Trap Door but it's not" proceeds to open a trap door..... 3mins 20secs "moving on then to another Trap Door" totally contradicting his original statement by showing that a "Trap Door" was exactly what the thing he made a point of saying wasn't one, was. The joys and 1 of the traps of working with out a script. 😉
Enjoyed the film! I do wish Jon wouldn't say "well" and "let's face it" quite so much!! One of those verbal habits that are irritating once noticed.
(Sorry!!!!)
