What do you think of Fuglsang's custom paint job? 👇
Very cool
Looks better close up.
Lovely bicycle with a very classy paint job. It's understated and that is something I appreciate.
Then again, I'm biased towards Argon 18 bikes.
Tacky.
Is there anyway I can get my hands on that bike
Refreshing to see a pro bike with set back seat post, spacers under the stem, 'only' a 120mm stem and bars that are over 400mm wide.
Those grippy Wolfpacks might have saved Fuglsang today at Liege-Bastogne-Liege! What a save, what a great champ!
you know your love for cycling has gone too far when you can't recognise Iron Man
Vee_DT haha. I have no clue about these things
Wolfpack Tires are made by Wolfgang Arenz from Germany. He is the compounder who developed Black Chili Compound (Conti GrandPrix 4000 SII), Gripton (Specialized S-Works Turbo Cotton) and Addix (Schwalbe One).
Love this video, and the custom paintwork. Also you highlighted the best part of this Astana FSA build, it's affordable and accessible to regular riders without endless budgets.
Crypto Que cheers. I really loved checking this bike out.
my goodness, a carbon bicycle that ISN'T all flat black, with black logos and lettering... absolutely astonishing
Love Corima, I wish they still made a road frame.
Wow!
Jakob's Argon 18 looks so cool, gorgeous, sexy and hyper nice!
Yea I quite like custom paintwork, at first glance I thought that one was horrible, but the longer I look at it the more I like it.
The Fountain of Knowledge lol I thought I was the only one
Me too. Panned out, I though it was ugly. Then it zoomed in closer and I looked at it longer...now I'm jealous
Very interesting bike that. Thanks Jon.
You're welcome Michael
Michael McDermott no probs boss
Best looking bike ive ever seen in my life
Love the custom paint. In my dreams I'd have the rear derailleur on my bike.
BB86 with 30mm crank spindle on a peloton bike absolutely epic!
Love the look of that paint job, look slightly retro
Us too!
Nice. I'm always interested in measurements relative to rider height.
👍
As far as I'm aware, ceramic bearings don't offer any inherent benefit on bikes because the RPMs are simply too low. The best steel bearings beat the ceramic speed ones under load. I was wondering if this is something gcntech would like to also investigate
Hi John ..That cassette looks like an 11-30 Look at 4:15.. Thanks for the great video
redauwg911 grrr. They swapped it when I wasn't looking....
Pretty slick paint job if you ask me
And once again, the cassette is an 11-30. Check at 4:15.
MrFDTT they must have swapped it when I wasn't looking
Take a look at Kwiato's bike ❣️❣️❣️❣️
5:00 Start of a 1min CeramicSpeed ad! ;)
Charles Phi well Mr Dan Lloyd made a 15 min video touring CeramicSpeed's factory so this doesn't even compare.
offtopic: what do you guys think about the "new" garmin explore cycling computer?
Jon get your valve alignment right ! ;)
Love the paint miss John on gcn
#askgcntech How would a serious road bike that you can buy today that most of us can afford compare with what the pros were using yesteryear? For example a Specialized SL6 2018 Tarmac Comp with full Ultegra Mechanical at $4300AUD, what year going back was the pros riding something this good - was it 2008? 2000?
You’re really only sacrificing weight, and as years go by it’s even less of a sacrifice than you’d expect. I’d expect a $4k bike to be within ~1.5-2lbs. (1kg) of a pro bike (6.9-7.4kg) considering some of the standard Trek Emondas are sub 6.8kg off the shelf.
I have a question: Do you need to lengthen your chain when installing oversized jockey wheels, or doesn't it affect the chain length that much? #askgcntech ?
Custom all the way..!!!
Wolfpack is a newly launched brand by an industry veteran called Wolfgang Arenz, previously of Continental (Black Chili) and Specialized (Gripton). He started his own brand. More: cyclingtips.com/2018/07/eurobike-2018-hits-and-highlights-part-one/
Is that damage on the drive side chain stay or an untidy stuck on chain guard. Looks rough.
2:44 "So if you _Argon_ -na be raising your handlebars..." #punIntended?
the way you said Fuglsang
I kinda wish the teams all had matching bikes except for special occasions
"thought my self, Jon, you need to ..."
OOHH, so cute, you, Jon, are so cute... WTF :-)))
mirceaandreighinea er, thanks. I think!
#GCNTECH can I keep the current chain if I upgrade to a bigger pulley wheels??
Perfect presentation!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed this one
I don't understand the significance of a noisy free hub. To me it sounds weird especially as in all other forms of mechanical engineering one seeks quiet smooth running. What am I missing?
What is the fascination with loud freehubs? Is it because they have more engagement points in them ? More pawls? You certainly can’t sneak up on anybody! 😆
I that is Ironman... though I may be incorrect.
wow you didn't know the tech of tires. that is rare
Richard Polidore I've since found out.
half of iron man there!
Please explain this spacers to me. I just can't get it. Please.

Crazy that this pro bike doesn't even come with direct mount brakes
I don't know how pros ride so far behind the bb. Feels like I'm "reaching" when I do that
Jon have you been running? #gcnvsgtn
Nearly a super nice, valve stems different....
Good spot
That free hub noise says 'Quality'
👌
Hiiii
Hi again
Extreme position? My reach from tip of my saddle til center of the bars is 61, my saddle height from center bottom bracket to the saddle is 79,5. I am only 180 tall!🤔 My stem is 130mm with -17 degrees👌
benjamin knudsen #noflexzone
benjamin knudsen you are the kind of person who can bend inside of a suitcase I bet 😉
Lovely bike but the paint work didn't do it for me. Too many colours I think.
Fair enough!
What an ugly bike! I can appreciate the effort that went into the paint -- _the logos and art are excellent_ -- but *the colors are atrocious.* To each their own...
I think it's cool tbh, I don't like the flashy neon green bikes etc. It makes them look cheap imo. If you go to some large super market and buy a shitty bike there, chances are it'll be bright yellow, bright green or whatever so I'd never get an expensive bike in those types of colors.
It doesn't just go for bicycles though, the same is the case for super cars etc. as well. A bright neon green Lamborghini or whatever just scream "midlife crisis", desperation for attention etc. or possibly just a "rich kid" who got it from his parents and is now desperately trying to be seen.
Iron Man
Like hvis du er dansk
btw that was iron man
Hmm.. Not to my liking
