Who is your favourite Instagram cycling influencer? 🚲👀
Sorry don't do Instagram. Only you tube.
The cover, on the hanger, is an aero cover, which some triathletes are using now.
Richi Weinzheimer. He doesnt post often, bet when he does you can be sure that its without a shirt
Katie Kookaburra obvs😊
Anyone describing themselves as an influencer gets ignored by me. Not on Instagram or any other social media, so never heard of most of those people other than Jenny (cos she's been in GCN vids with Manon) and Katie Kookaburra (cos she's got a TH-cam channel and is frequently recommended cos I watch GCN vids)
Week 30 of asking for a ’The UCI has no jurisdiction here’ T-shirt
We've scratched another notch into the wall 😆
I've been demanding, er, asking for this as well 😅😋😎
@@gcntechmake it happen guys
Just get one off pedal pushers apparel
Your journey has just begun. 😳
Just have to say, I think Ollie talks about doing the Tour of Statition or whatever as much as Dan used to mention he rode for the Cervelo test team.
Dan rode for which team sorry!!!! News to us 🤯
+1 for bringing Jon back! It’d be awesome to see him on the show again for a bike vault special.
We'll see what we can do... might have to bribe him. Rumour has it he like the odd mineral water 🍻
Nobody can RING THE BELL like @joncannings !
Bring on the Cannings!
@@gcntechI have some very odd mineral water…. When do you want it dumping… sorry delivering 😁
I too had to switch to shorter cranks after knee replacement surgery limited my knee bending. Because I’m also on the shorter side (165cm) I have found my new 145mm cranks to let me spin faster more comfortably. I got my from Appleman in Minnesota that Alex mentioned on the Tech Show last year. They offer cranks from 135 to 170mm. Perhaps you could do a deep dive video on the benefits of shorter cranks. New bikes only seem to offer 170mm+ cranks.
I run 160 from Sugino. Artificial knee, fused rib cage.
Great to hear that you've been able to keep riding! A deep dive is a great idea 🙌 Short cranks are very interesting subject... watch this space 👀
I’m 5’-8” and run 165mm on all my bikes after 2 hip flexor surgeries on each hip. Helps me keep my hip angle much more open. It is very annoying how hard it is to find shorter cranks.
@gcntech How did I end up here ? 🤣, I am honored to be featured by GCN with my "Mini Cranks". I had a motorcycle accident that left me with a lack of range of motion in my knee and this was the solution to keep riding.
That’s the way you do it! Adapt the machine to your body, not the other way around! Kudos for your optimism and determination as well. Keep on rocking that bike, Dude! Cheers!
Super cool that you've found a way to keep riding! 🙌 Do you think it makes a difference to the power?
@@gcntech Acceleration and Climbing is definitely much harder with the lack of torque from the extreme short cranks (100mm) . High cadence is key to keep the legs going .
Outdoor GCN tech show. As it should be. ❤❤❤
Should we make this the new normal? Our Uk weather isn't as reliable though 👀
@@gcntechGCN Tech Show in the driving rain? I like it
Oilie's head exploded when seeing Danger Holms bike😂.. he was jealous of all the custom bits he didn't know what they were and all the minimal aero gains going on
Guys, I loved the dynamic between Ollie and "Jim" in this week's video. It really felt natural like two guys shooting the sh%$t on the couch. Fun
Boys on tour 😎 Looks like they are having some great fun 👀
The only consistent thing about the bike vault judgments is the inconsistency. #zerostandards Jenny and Katie are perfect examples. Katie's "gubbins" are as functional as Jenny's.
And also , the boys are using "bike vault" standards against non bike vault pictures (angle, accessories etc.) And STOP picking on Katie!
Katie is "super nice" as a TH-camr and a wonderful person. And she didn't need me to say it, but I wanted to cuz she does great videos.
And I’d take a saddle angle set up by Katie and actual expert Phil Burt over Ollie’s somewhat questionable aesthetic judgement any time.
Surely by this point we all know that bike vault is just an opportunity for ridiculous bike banter? There's nothing serious about the judgments they're throwing around, it's all tongue in cheek
Yeah don’t be mean to Katie
That crowd was way bigger than I expected for a GCN tech show. The autograph session must have lasted forever.
I'm looking at Connors bike and wondering what size bottles he could fit in that frame, he must be able to get 5L of water between the 2 cages haha
Facinating that you have the level of confidence in yourselves and your show to subtely throw shade in various directions ! Hats off !
No one warned us Ollie was going to bring out the SABER come bike vault time! Brutal!
0:49 SHOUT OUT to the editor Isaac!! Dude, you are doing a great job.
I routinely come back to this video since it aired. I have to say that "judgy" Ollie is my fav Ollie. More of him and Alan on the couch doing long form vault bits PLS.
LOL Isaac! Definitely got Ollie and Alex with that one! 🤣
Hahahah These two give us too much power 😆
Ollie giving no quarter on the bike judgments this week. Savage. Love to see it.
He runs a tight ship! Not any only bike can get a super nice! 😆
For Canning’s return, just a full episode of bike vault.
The only person more brutal than Ollie! 😳
@@gcntech 😂
hahahahaha thanks for the shout out gentlemen! You know what they say about small handlebars..... @3:58
Love this kind of content! Nice to see the lads being impartial
Did we miss any influencers? 👀
@@gcntechThe Vegan Cyclist, Dylan Johnson, Hambini, 😂
Somewhere along the way, I think bike vault turned from a celebration of nice bikes to being bike snobbishness
This is the best "on tour" show I've seen since Pat Sajack took the Wheel of Fortune to Hawaii!
Ded
Hi guys, thanks for the feature. The Aero Front Derailleur Guard comes in black. All the data is on the science page on our site. Thanks Clint
Thanks for commenting guys 🙌 We're sure Ollie will be nerding over the stats 🤓
Any questions fire them over Ollie. Keep up the good work.
For comments of the week, you don’t need a rap, you should be playing‘I won’t let the sun go down on me’😂
Yes, Cannings back! 👏👏👏
We'll see if we can drag him out of the depth of the GCN megabase 👀
"It's good to have a mix of male and female bikes" unlike the mix of GCN presenters.
Well said
I love the black and white. Ridley submission for the bike vault. As someone who struggles with colour selection, I've owned three Ridleys, all either white or black, and I keep swearing that for my next one I'll just ask them to pick a colour and surprise me. Now I'm having second thoughts. If monochrome works for tuxedos and dinner jackets, perhaps it's the classy choice for a bike as well.
I actually hate that. It’s so elitist, judging people’s bikes on YOUR standards. Who cares what bottles people have on their bikes or what gear they’re in? Not every one rides their bike to create instagram content, some just wanna have fun riding and then share the fun by snapping a pic. Being judged in that actually puts me off, because now I’m scared someone judges me the same way next time I’m going for a ride.
The people are influencer…they put photos out in the internet. GCN is just giving opinions…that will not kill anyone. Just don’t take it too seriously
Regular GCN viewers might recognize this is a tongue-in-cheek episode. You should watch Katie Kookaburro’s reaction for another perspective. If you are going to pillory Instagram influencer’s bicycles, you really should select people who are actually Instagram influencers. She is a TH-camr who promotes cycling for the sheer joy of it. It’s one thing to critique bicycles of viewers who have submitted their photos specifically for that purpose. It’s quite another to yank random photos off the Internet and critique them. Did you guys think about the negative effect this could have on the audiences of your victims? This comes across at best as cheeky and at worst as mean-spirited.
Another example of GCN thinking they are Top Gear. They ride bikes which are given to them by Orbea Canyon etc. have a look in the mirror GCN. Pathetic video.
Lighten up, Francis. 😂
Great video guys! you've really rattled a few bottle cages out there among the influencers
Shouldn't have bottle cages on your bike... that counts as gubbins 😂 Ollie drives a hard rule! *please do take bottle cages... drink dink drink!
While I think it's fair to rate bikes that are submitted to you, applying your criteria (which you have to admit is arbitrary and changes) to outsiders, especially people with less influence than GCN, really isn't fair. I'd especially call out that you were forgiving of gubbins on the bike of one adventure cyclist, but not another?
Bells: I used to have a bell. But the bell can't get through the joggers/walkers earbuds. Even if they hear it, its just part of the music. So now I've ditched the bell, and I use a strong voice.
Great aould video guys although I couldn’t see ye in the end 😂 also Ollie would want to go along with Bobs newly invented word “sidegrade” /upgrade break leavers, considering Ollie says “reach around “ for folk bending UCI rules 🤷🏼♂️😜
What’s going to happen with all the videos on the gcn app when it closes down? I would love to still have access to watch them.
Which part of Mallorca? Zafiro hotels are plenty on the island. Would love to see you guys ... greetings from Es coll d'en Rabassa
All for aero innovation! Might get a derailleur cover for road bike tts, every watt counts!
As much as I WANT and NEED to hate it, in a no holds barred TT, you right bro...LMAO
This 'Reviewing Instagram Cyclists' segment could defiantly be expanded to TH-camr's as well, I reckon a lot of them would be down for it. LTT did the same thing in the PC building space.
That cover on Gustav's RD is from Kogel. They just recently released that aero shield for their "Kolossos" oversized cages.
Absolutely disgusted at GCN slaying the likes of Jenny Graham and Katie kookaburra, bike shaming is not good guys!!!😢
Love the show. Would like it if you showed more pix of what you're looking at. More pix while you're talking. Just my $0.02 worth. :^)
the cover on the Dangerholm looks like it's from kogel bearings, saw an interview with the founder of that company that is apparently making bearings for endurance riding (durability and longevity in wet and dirty conditions)
Katie kookaburra former wattage bazooka winner!
That front mech fairing is a total go for me, tho' I'd prefer a color which matches or compliments the frame. Still, for the watts, yeah, go for it. And that should be the title of a feature, Dig It. I like it, Ollie, and I appreciate that you looked at some other riders' bikes and good for people like Lance to represent brands like Ventum, gets the word out and surely it is a good bike. And I watched the Bike Vault for a change and okay, I'm going to bed steamed about that Colnago just being a nice. And I grin, makes me no nevermind what you guys do with that, I know it is all fun and games and easy stuff to present, no show prep required. 😀
The kogel aero colossus pulley wheel cage on dangerholm's build.... I'm also super glad that he's the only influencer ( besides Lance) that I follow....
Yes, definitely put Mr Cannings back in front of the camera!
love that green carbon foil, looks epic
Awesome video,Olly is brutal with bike vault and absolutely gobsmacked at Dangerholms bike,Ollys a bit to conservative sometimes.Safe riding.💯👌🏻✌🏻
I’m disappointed you did “James May roasts TH-camr’s cars” and didn’t include one of James May’s bikes. ;)
Bike Vault Special would be FANtastic.
4:10 That's the MAPEI paintwork. I got the beebs and looking for matching shirt.
The front mech fairing, will create extra drag in a crosswind.
Can we talk about why bike companies are STILL putting 44cm bars on large and XL models. I'm 6ft 3 and quite broad and even I will max out at a 42cm bar. It's crazy as most people are now buying new bars and having to pay the mechanic's fees to reroute cables etc
Ollie, you need to chill a little. That green bike was dope!!😄
Ollie complaining about being colorblind and proceeding to slam the monochrome bike-vault picture within a millisecond of seeing it is rather funny.
Zoom in on the joint between the TopTube/SeatTube/ Seat Stays of that Canyon and ask with me...WHAT ARE THOSE?? Also, the reason that Uni-Blade rim is so thick (About 5 mils a rim will, maybe more) is to provide structural integrity since spokes wont be holding the wheel together...
It sometimes seems like lightweight vs aero has more to do with whether a channel sponsor has recently released a new lightweight bike.
Yea bring back Cannings for a special!!
Juliette is always cool. The horror show green thing with the WTH shorts! Good god man sort yourself out 😂
Tyres are atom-bomb-proof. I am heavy rider and never punctured since 2019 and I pass also gravel sections. They would last about 8k before canvas will show up.
You boys are hilarious🤣😂 you have proper rattled Katie Kookaburra’s cage!!
I’ve followed you both for many years but I’m not sure she is a follower of yours, well if she did, she certainly won’t be now……. Whoops 😬
Both GCN content and her content is amazing, your all doing great work👍
They didn’t make fun of her, just her mess of a bike.
Those were some nice GCN sized gin&tonics👍
Loving the location 😊
Remember the pronunciation show gcn did about a year ago? Didn't realize they needed to include Marin. We'll let it slide since it's halfway around the world from Bath.
At this point, i'm amazed that cranks aren't teardrop shaped yet. Although shimano is probably shedding some teardrops right now...
HOW ABOUT SHOWING THE BIKES FOR MORE THAN 1 SECOND? 😆
yes Ollie, you are right but when your bike goes under 6 kg and you are changing the screw on you carbon rim brake with titanium one... it's feel good.
Hat tip to the fellow trumpet player who’s absolutely killing it in the background!
11:08 lol 😂
I am very disappointed that we haven't looked at the many whacky inventions and additions of OutsideBrendan. All absolutely hilarious and, as a keen cyclist, I am sent his shorts by non-cycling friends all the time, many 3d printed and plugging into the holes of his SPD crocs. Might not be very road oriented, but so worthy of an honorary mention.
How many "mineral waters' had Oli had before recording? Or are we going to blame his performance on time zones? LOL.
How do you rate armstrong pharmacy? nice or supernice?
@20:20 football friend
0:44 was that Johnny Sins? 🤔🤣
I’d love to see you guys judging some fixed gears, style is the name of the game.
⠀
Could send some great examples😉
Put them up on the app and we'll see what we think 👉 gcn.eu/app
I like the idea of the bike ratings .. but its a bit unfair that you're applying your weird bike vault rules about jaunty angles, which gear its in and pedal angles, to pictures of bikes which were never entered to the bike vault in the first place.
Alex coming in with a strong sneaker game
He's always got the fresh creps in the office 👌
Secret Sneaker Head 👟
Lance Armstrong is in surprisingly good shape? Now that is a surprise….👀
💉
"Lance Armstrong is shredded"... I thought he took EPO not steroids! Or is that his post-career doping trend?
this is what puts people off cycling. I dont know the point of this video, it's a shame such a big channel uploading this
I'd be confused by a Bikevault Special. When would I go and make a cup of tea? 😛
😂😂😂Those "comments" from judging a bike are really FUNNY 😂😂😂 just laughing the whole time 😂😂😂 (That's SARCASM, by the way)
Why's nobody made a Ron Wheelsley joke yet? Hopefully there will be a Nimbus model soon...
Why does Ollie sit with his legs splayed like a newborn giraffe? 🦒
For the record Ti is a relatively soft metal and it does scratch easily.
Could we get a tutorial on how to photograph your bike?!?
Ollie was totally going to give the tiny handlebar bike a supernice before alex said something
@GCNTech Being picky about the Bike Vault is one thing - people are voluntarily submitting their bike pix for some good natured roasting.
But critiquing amateur TH-camrs like Katie Kookaburra when they didn't sign up for it is not cool.
Ollie spent so much time moaning about the bikes the sun went in
Bell? Nah, I have a bulb horn, makes people smile.
You gotta understand Dangerholm's philosophy before judging his bikes. They are rarely made to be the most functional, but either super light or super crazy. The Scott Foil was his first road bike build and although it might look like it's built around aerodynamics, all the stuff crazy aero stuff like the wheels are a bit of a joke. If you can get around that fact, his builds are amazing. Anyway, I must say I'm a bit disappointed you didn't show Dylan Johnson's drop bar Factor Lando, I would really love to see your reaction on that one. And hell yes, bring John Cannings back!
Bring on the Cannings!
I dont know why the tiny crank guy gets so much hate. He has explained why he uses it and still people knee jerk about it.
The boys did the bike vault dirty. They clearly forgot the bell and to circumvent that they just gave nice's allround...
this is my partners acount, but i had to drop a comment....what are you guys like.....? brutal in a funny way, but i have to agree with you, as some of the bikes on here are top top top & yet people either dont know how to hold a camera.....which is odd considering nearly if not all pics are taken by a cell phone & yet they just cant get it right & do their pride & joys no justice...tut tut tut, well enjoy your time out there & looking forward for more glorious content.
Ollie going all triathlon with no socks?
What’s the point of those saddles, that have the extra long nose but hanging down steeply. One is not going to sit on that nose, so it’s unnecessary weight, Shirley?
I’d love to see the reaction to viewers bikes. Mainly so I can see the disgust in their eyes when they gaze upon my 70’s Kmart bike.
How many times can Oli say he rode the Tour de stations?
Lance does look shredded, I wonder if he's on any supplements...
Dr Ferrari's new lifiting regimen is working wonders
