If you're racing: both (unfortunately). We know that World Tour riders are faster than ever, expected due to the bike. For average riders? Being stronger is more important.
Take an amateur on a superbike, say, a carbon dura ace, then pit him against Peter Sagan on an aluminium Claris, that should be a decent experiment whether its really the bike, or the rider that counts lol
Ollie saying he doesn’t think he got faster but everyone else just got slower hits hard. Would’ve been fun to see an all out battle with everyone at their peak form.
To be fair, the things you mentioned (socks, clothes) are reasonably affordable upgrades compared to, say, wheels, bars and frames. The helmet you have to buy anyway, so you’re probably £100-150 over a standard jersey and socks. It’s not mega cheap but not the £1000 a good wheel set can cost!
Alex, what a brilliant idea, a bike for £500. I shall be watching. What would be better still would be a racing series for £500 bikes so everyone can have a go without needing to be mega rich. Happy birthday Ollie.
i have 2 bikes: a second hand 20 year old specialized hardtail which i use for going to places and messing around and a recently bought specialized diverge e5 2022 gravel, which i am currently only using on the road (to keep nice and new) and for rides. As with the hardtail, there is 100% a limit to how fast the bike can go (on flat) no matter how much power i put down. On my gravel bike, i have not reached that limit. So, I think it depends on the rider but the bike has to be good enough quality.
The playful banter isn't fooling anyone. The tension between Dennis and Terry is palpable and seemingly reaching a fever pitch. They should settle it in the octagon.
Alex, the blue light glasses reduce fatigue for my eyes while working with three screens all day. Has Ollie ever tried the glasses that are supposed to help color blind people see colors?
Cycling demands SO much time on the saddle and if we can’t squeeze out any more time away from our families, jobs and other commitments it has become attractive to invest more in the tech. Great shows like this have allowed us to sift through the products for the ones that make a difference.
@@gcntech I do not... At grass root sport (most sports) there is clear division between elite and recreational athletes, the main difference in all those sports is time spent training. Moreover, it's clear from this episode that gear does not challenge consistent good training over the long term... (I could go on about this topic in greater detail, but I'll tell you now... that wouldn't sell #boring)
Re: patent on wireless charging. Impossible to do without adding weight because of the extra components. Whilst I can see this being added lower down the stack at the top weight is too important. It would need to be sufficiently good that a smaller battery that weighs less is okay. Also I can’t think of anything as big as an e-bike battery that wireless charges.
I am watching this at work. I paused it at 21:09 to answer a phone call from my doctor and when I went back to unpause it I was surprised to see Ollie giving me a sexy look.
19:58 - Ollie: "Like wireless charging on your phone?" Guillermo: "No, no, into your bike, obviously" Guillermo, at 20:27, approximately 30 seconds later: "Using the sort of technology that is used in, say, mobile phones". Nice one, Guillermo.
Axel, your sponsors won't be too happy about this inconvenient truth that it's not really about the bike tech but the rider! Anyway, regardless of this, many cyclist would still love beautiful new stuff!
I'm with you on racing rim brakes this year I just bought a rim brake bike and couldn't be happier I retired mybmc and went with KHS this year I ended up grabbing one of only two brand new KHS flite team bikes in the United States. High-modulus carbon frame, full FSA sl-k carbon cockpit, vision metron 55 Wheels, and Dura-Ace 9100 complete set to top it off for $5,000 u.s.a. deal that I literally could not pass up.

Happy early birthday Ollie! Question: my Wahoo can tell me my speed and the gear I'm spinning in real time. Why then can't the unit give me an approximate cadence read-out in real time as well? #gcntech #askgcntech
@@channul4887 my point is that the Wahoo can't display cadence unless you connect a separate cadence sensor to. This is true despite the fact that the Wahoo unit has the information needed to calculate cadence WITHOUT a separate sensor (i.e. gear ratio and speed), but the unit does not have any option to do that.

What's in the water at GCN Megabase. Alpha? First Si looses the plot and spends half of the GCN Show laughing. Now it's Ollie's turn. Or should Alex just stop racing 12 year old kids? I think have worked out a way Alex can win a race. Race a 7 years old kid. If that doesn't work I'll deny any knowledge of the las two sentences.

Golfing is a clearer analogy for me. Could you beat Nick Faldo with expensive clubs and his were cheap? Goodness no! Agreed skill is more important than gear.
Regarding your bike vault criteria... A 53T (or whatever size big chainring is being used) and a 14T (on a Shimano 11sp cassette for example) gear choice, is the most efficient gear ratio regarding drivetrain efficiency (according to Friction Facts) as it gives you the straightest possible chainline. In my opinion, this should be the ideal gear choice for the bike vault and should not be judged harshly for not being on the 11t
@@billkallas1762 In a previous episode, Ollie himself mentioned a straight chainline would be an acceptable alternative gear ratio for the bike vault, especially since he's all about marginal gains
I like how Alex realizing he's getting older (and slower) on camera. That's funny af. It's also pretty meta that GCN presenters are talking about the proliferation of expensive tech in cycling on a show whose raison d'etre is promoting expensive cycling tech. #GCNTech
The American Academy of Ophthalmology says you don't need them and has gone on record as not recommending any kind of special eyewear for computer users. The organization says blue light from digital devices does not lead to eye disease and doesn't even cause eyestrain.
Wow, I can't believe Ollie an Derek got changed into kit and onto their trainers for a Hack/Bodge f the week! The 3D printed phone tray's finish is good for a homemade device but the thumb shifters and stability of the unit looks horrible. I guess it's only the first version so could become a Hack.
My cycling buddies often make fun of my 2008 Ti bike (albeit with 12sp Record GS and Zipp 303 wheels and aero bars). But I managed a decent 96kph at the last etape on a decent while in an aero tuck + regularly out drag them on climbs. I love being the old man with the old bike who can humble the kit brigade ;) Sure I can spend £12k-£14k on my next bike, but for me riding is about getting fit and enjoying the experience - not sweating how many watts I could have saved with a more aero frame or socks 😂. Those watts can be made up for with greater fitness and its benefits. I do think we’ve all become a little too tech obsessed! Having said that, disc brakes in the wet is the only reason I would upgrade my bike at some distant point in the future.
It's funny that you bitch about UCI rules, but you think it's good that bikes and tech are even so that it comes down to the physicality of the rider. That's the whole point of rules - someone shouldn't just be able to go out and buy speed.
Hey guys. We love your show!!! But I’ve been trying to get the Passo Stelvio shirt for my guy (who’s a huge fan of your channel) but was told you will no longer be making the shirt! So why are you teasing us by flaunting a product I can’t get my hands on 😜 😂🤣 Sincerely Lissa & Mr. E
What do you think is more important: having a nice bike or a being strong rider? 🤔
Being a strong rider 100% for me. Though if you want to own a nice bike also, there’s nothing wrong with that either!
If you're racing: both (unfortunately). We know that World Tour riders are faster than ever, expected due to the bike.
For average riders? Being stronger is more important.
