I find it funny that he went to the lengths of weighing bearings yet knowingly left heavier parts on the bike, like the power meter, stock bars, and those wheels. He didn’t give us a weight on the wheels but if they’re old I’m certain there’d be something far lighter available now. I’d like to see it when it’s got all the absolute lightest stuff on it
I was going to nag him on Strava the other day because I remembered you guys promised to make a video about the new bike. Talk about timing. Top stuff, chaps!
Hi Shane, can you please do another bike check with Dr. Slane? After so many years I'm sure he's got something new to gawk at. This is one of my favorite bike videos ever and I come back to it every now and then.
I just missed the opportunity to do this. I was staying with him for a few days earlier this week where he had both his new road setup and TT rig. 165mm cranks too! 🧐
@gplama Ah I should've commented a week earlier. Maybe next time. Looking back through the videos you made about his bikes it really surprises me how far ahead of the curve he was. From the high hand position on his tri rig to the mullet setup on his gravel bike.
"I like to look at nice equipment." I'm tipping that the pause that followed was the point where +Shane Miller - GPLama thought "Crap, do I leave that in or not?" 🤣
Awesome project Dr SLane, he didn't go down the Phil Gaimon path and cut the drops off the bars,that would save about 50 grams, it would make it hard to descend though. Such a sweet totally functional bike!!!
However you really should know everything about your bike like the proper way to pronounce MCFK and that your rims are ENVE Classic 25s. You could drop a few more grams too with a Bontrager XXX barstem, extralite or carbon ti hubs, and a berk integrated saddle and post.
I've had that seat on order for almost three weeks and it'll be another three before I see it. My LBS told me I'll have the only one for hundreds of miles and one of the few(6)in North America.
A mars bar weighs about 50 grams and 5 x 20c pieces is about 100 grams. Rotational mass is where its at so super light frames don;t do much just break if you sneeze over them. Nice bike i must say.
Well i'm also old enough to remember those Mars bars that had a proper covering of chcoolate.. If your in the Uk again grab one there they still make them to the old recipe, i discovered that last time i was there.
He can save even more weight by going for a polo-brake (one lever pulls two cables). Then either going with a one-by drivetrain, or add a button for the FD.
I think i recenlty saw a full carbon saddle on alibaba for 50 grams, i had a 65 grams one but it was so hard you just could not stand more than a couple of kms on it slicing a tomato is that a metaphor for
their 6.8 kg weight rule is obsolete, clearly you can make safe and durable bike below that weight, what's the point of superbike competition if you have to add weight to pass UCI control
They Live We See most pro bikes are around 7-8.kgs as highlighted.re gently on GCN. If e eye rider was.in say a 5 kg bike the the playing field.becomes even.
That is just stupid-light. I initially thought that Slane was moving the rig during the video. However, I later realized he had to keep his hand on the saddle to keep the rig from floating away. Shane, I would be interested to know if you've seen any sub 7kg disc road rigs.
I cant slow down at all using the back brake, from my experience MTB is about 50/50 but leaning more towards the front but it depends how you ride, some people use only back brake because its more fun, but on the road, I brake a little on the back and the back wheel just locks up, I actually put grease on my back rotor for safety on my road bike
Hydro brakes not rim brakes, I replaced resin pads with metal, and the lock up with the slightest squeeze, its actually quiet funny, but with a little grease they work just fine like the resin pads.
Damn that means I could get my c'dale evo hm down about that light... I have a 58cm with allow wheels carbon bars and seat with campy record and the bike is 13lbs.
We knew the Internet police would be issuing these tickets. As mentioned over on Facebook, the bike was 50kgs for Mansfield. 45kgs of that was the hidden motor..... It wasn't in this exact state for Mansfield.
He got those wheels used cheap because they touch the break pads any time you go above 500 watts standing. Would be petrified to descend a mountain on those wheels and brakes. Seriously cool sanding and ghost graphics.
not to hate but...why? i mean this bike is only allowed to see gradients of 20% and more. Anything on the flat and it's as fast as my 400€ roadbike. Also...big chainring and biggest cog in the rear prbly isn't all that healthy even for "presentation" where i would consider smallest cog and big chainring more proper. Stages or 4iiii powermeter is lighter, speedplay titanium pedals, aluminium cassette as a suggestion for further weightweenieness.

I don’t have kids or a wife...
I just buy bikes
And that's the way its gonna stay
If I had a dollar for every time I said that to someone, I'd have enough for another bike.
Hi is lucky then or you could be a doctor on a big salary and have a wife and kids and surplus cash, I know a few guys in that boat.
glenny oc,
I think in the first video it was said that he's a doctor.
I don't think he's a medical doctor
Nice to hear he’s actually winning races with it.

Didn't even cross my mind... I do like looking at nice equipment. Most I can't afford! :)

Doc's slayin' it
Wtf why is my hand in my pants? Sweet bike!
Hahahaha! 🚲🍆🤔😂
were you just checking your tube pressure??
They Live We See Lol Yeah, I ended up pumping to to much and my tire exploded getting sealant everywhere.
6:37 Hahahah that dude was pissed, mate you brake it that $500
I didn’t think sub 5.5 was possible for an R5! Cheers for this mate. My plans have now changed.
However you really should know everything about your bike like the proper way to pronounce MCFK and that your rims are ENVE Classic 25s. You could drop a few more grams too with a Bontrager XXX barstem, extralite or carbon ti hubs, and a berk integrated saddle and post.
I've had that seat on order for almost three weeks and it'll be another three before I see it.
My LBS told me I'll have the only one for hundreds of miles and one of the few(6)in North America.
Nice bike but he should have gone for the British hill climb racers option of cutting of the bottom of the drops
Back once again like the renegade master.
Great video Mr. Miller
Nice mods, saddle looks amazing. Surprised by the remaining bar tape
Beautiful.
That bike is 🔥😍!
Thumbs up for passion
Look up Gelu saddles.
incredible. Wouldn't feel safe going down a steep descent on it though lol.
So the budget for this bike was the GDP of Somalia, am I correct?
Yes 😂
weighted individual bearings but went for a superheavy dtswiss hubs? come on now SLane! get some extradite cyber hubs!
aluminium bearing races - I hope he's slick at changing them over :)
A mars bar weighs about 50 grams and 5 x 20c pieces is about 100 grams. Rotational mass is where its at so super light frames don;t do much just break if you sneeze over them. Nice bike i must say.
Back in the good days Mars Bars were 80g I swear! And 1/4th the price.
Well i'm also old enough to remember those Mars bars that had a proper covering of chcoolate.. If your in the Uk again grab one there they still make them to the old recipe, i discovered that last time i was there.
Tubbies rule! Fair bit of saving in tubs
I was hoping to see THM clavicula SE cranks and AX lightness ultra 25 wheels💸💸💸
THM clavicula crankset and Time Xpresso pedals?
He can save even more weight by going for a polo-brake (one lever pulls two cables). Then either going with a one-by drivetrain, or add a button for the FD.
How many grams of grease did you use, Doc?
amazing bike... the only thing I would be afraid - the saddle; imagine the feeling when it brakes😟
Damn my 2014 R5 biggest size is 7.4kg...dura ace r9000, mavic cosmic carbon wheels
great!
Pretty awesome, still grams to save though 😛
Paint may not be structural but surely it provides resistance to the elements (UV, corrosion etc.), particularly important for CFRP.
I absolutely love he he's proud of the weight he achieved all the while he's obviously questioning if he didn't ruin the bike.
XD
As far as sanding the frame down what didn't the carbon expert not like about it? Was thinking of doing the same thing to mine
yep
Any feedback for those extralite chainrings?
One of the best thing to do when upgrading is buying 2nd hand parts!!! you'll save at least 30-40% off retail price.
I think you forgot the seatpost and chain :p
What did you do to remove the original paint job ?
Change the DA pedals to time xpresso 10 or 8 at least. Get the new bontrager Aeolus xxx2 or xxx4. Clincher plenty light and turbular even crazy light
I think i recenlty saw a full carbon saddle on alibaba for 50 grams, i had a 65 grams one but it was so hard you just could not stand more than a couple of kms on it slicing a tomato is that a metaphor for
Theres not a great deal of difference in the approach of building a superlight bike and spaceflight machines. Quite fascinating....
He could chop the drops on the bars a few inches as well.
That just looks stupid though.
I wonder how light this could get as a single speed with no brakes.
Very heavy hubs mate
Sweet bike, if your thinking of a carbon saddle, remember theres no grip when sitting on it
UCI take notes.......
why?
their 6.8 kg weight rule is obsolete, clearly you can make safe and durable bike below that weight, what's the point of superbike competition if you have to add weight to pass UCI control
so that people can win races without taking out a 2nd mortgage on their home for carbon fibre brakes
They Live We See most pro bikes are around 7-8.kgs as highlighted.re gently on GCN. If e eye rider was.in say a 5 kg bike the the playing field.becomes even.
I would have thought pro road bikes were all 6.8kg, the TT rigs might be more? Some of them are adding ballast last I heard?
That is just stupid-light. I initially thought that Slane was moving the rig during the video. However, I later realized he had to keep his hand on the saddle to keep the rig from floating away. Shane, I would be interested to know if you've seen any sub 7kg disc road rigs.
What's Dr Slane's height again?
Is that an alu steer tube?!?!?
hi, can anyone tell me what is the bottle cage please? i doesnt understand what he said.. im french :-)
Alpitude Components - alpitude.cc
hi Shane, thank you, never comment so much but great channel and nice content!
Not sure if I would like to ride something like it. But it is still super cool!
I don't know where Slane ends and the bike begins.
should have gone with eebrakes and went with thm on the crank instead of the brakes.
Yaw front derailleurs don’t work very well with oval rings, so I’m not surprised he’s back on round rings.
I'm considering buying a selle Italia turbo saddle. Why I'm I watching this?
TH-cam is 'on demand'.... which means it's user controlled. Clicking away takes a lot less time than typing that comment. Or even reading this one.
@@gplama just saying it's a 360 gram plus saddle. I'll be lucky to be at 9kgs on my bike.
oh, gotcha. 360 grams. Damn. It'd be a good weapon if you need to rip it off the bike and defend yourself.
those brakes set costs 1230.00 euros wtf !!
Mike's Fitness DOCTOR s lane. Now i know why my doctor's visit costs so much. Im paying for those brakes.
That bike weighs less than a quarter of my body fat (95kg @24% fat)
I would remove the back brake to save more weight :) who needs it, 90% of braking is at the front
ITs about 70 if you brake correctly.
I cant slow down at all using the back brake, from my experience MTB is about 50/50 but leaning more towards the front but it depends how you ride, some people use only back brake because its more fun, but on the road, I brake a little on the back and the back wheel just locks up, I actually put grease on my back rotor for safety on my road bike
OMG you should not be getting lockup on your rear brakes unless you squeeze too hard.
Hydro brakes not rim brakes, I replaced resin pads with metal, and the lock up with the slightest squeeze, its actually quiet funny, but with a little grease they work just fine like the resin pads.
👌🔝🔝
Extralite is italian dude!
tubulars
love mine for buffalo
Damn that means I could get my c'dale evo hm down about that light... I have a 58cm with allow wheels carbon bars and seat with campy record and the bike is 13lbs.
Scratching his butt tho! Haha awesome bike doc
A few places on the frame you have sanded through plies. Wherever you see a closed contour of carbon. Shame!
Slane is in complete money no object mode... XD
umm.. did you just admit winning a VRS race on a 5.39kg bike?!
We knew the Internet police would be issuing these tickets. As mentioned over on Facebook, the bike was 50kgs for Mansfield. 45kgs of that was the hidden motor..... It wasn't in this exact state for Mansfield.
well presumably you're denying that it had a motor, so that's still a 5kg bike :)
Time Xpresso 15 pedals are substantially lighter.
They said they weighted the bike without pedals.
Competition to win this bike? :-)
Yep! $15k a ticket. ;)
GPLama Unboxing
Only?
I think it would fall apart if i just looked at it!
bincepilot m
That cross chaining though...
He wasn't riding it..... so... chill the hotplate there Internets.
Do I have to comment here as well for this T-Shirt. #WatchingLamaOnRecoverySpins
Nope. I'll get SLane to pick from the original video.
Shane Miller - GPLama just trying to cover all my bases here.
Why not go 1x11?
He got those wheels used cheap because they touch the break pads any time you go above 500 watts standing. Would be petrified to descend a mountain on those wheels and brakes. Seriously cool sanding and ghost graphics.
Power cordz
SLane the only reason why I would thumbs down your bike is because I dont have the money for one. I have 8 mouths to feed.
What compression nut 🤣
yeah, but after all that, it's only a Cervelo
Yeah, it's no Giant..... ;)
Why tf didn’t he put a mechanical group onto it lmao
Because then the comments would roll in asking why he didn't put eTap on it... or 12 speed Campy.. or....
best possible answer😎
1X drive train?
That guy has the same mental disorder most of us have ;0p
Built-in-cf...oh dear it is less than 6kg...
should have bought an Emonda
but aero is more important always so....
Not always. Mostly.
not to hate but...why? i mean this bike is only allowed to see gradients of 20% and more. Anything on the flat and it's as fast as my 400€ roadbike. Also...big chainring and biggest cog in the rear prbly isn't all that healthy even for "presentation" where i would consider smallest cog and big chainring more proper.
Stages or 4iiii powermeter is lighter, speedplay titanium pedals, aluminium cassette as a suggestion for further weightweenieness.
If he took his hat off he could save at least 80 grams!
mcfk lol
Just shift that excess round the stomach n get a canyon.
First
Mcfk? Lol
that boy is a fanny
1/10 comment. What a waste of time that was.
@@gplama should of just ignored it then... haha
