This is pure gold💰. It is not only Alex’s engineering expertise, but his insistence on taking the big-picture view of things...like aero, or stiffness, or durability, or the cost structure....and simplifying it for us. Thats what makes his arguments so compelling. 👏👏👏
Not sure I agree that the bike industry is pushing long and low geometry. The opposite seems true - longer head tubes even on bikes marketed as Aero bikes. I think there is a difference between the needs of an club racer and someone doing 200k sportive type events - which is reflected in the development of the 'Endurance' bike market. As a TT'er / road/ Crit racer with a dodgy back I find a more stretch position more comfortable than a more upright position as it can stretch the back out better and my weight seems better distributed. The more upright the position the more wider tyres at lower pressure become helpful.

How amazing place youtube is. Thanks for this interview. Bike industry need more engineers like Alex
loved it
Thank you for sharing such a content it was very insightful🙌😊
