Homeboy in the yellow pedaling his heart out when these two blow by him have a mfing conversation like it's nothing...
Wheelies best practised after a couple of Guinness on a bike you don’t mind sticking in a hedge 😉
I like this guy :)
Very happy and friendly
this dude Alec is so nuts. Homie hit 130kph on a descent... dude, what? like WHAT?
Wheelie is hard and scary but bunny hop is easy I do it all the time to hop over pot hole
Box Hill KOM Wheelie? Oh yeah.
👌
Looks cool, dont really want to put that much stress on my drivetrain/rear wheel.
my halfords e bike has withstood 2 years of consistent wheelies (longest 1km+ on one wheel) trust me you’re safe 😂
Wheelie the whole hill!
The shorter chain stay bikes are much easier-
Why would anyone want to pop a wheelie on their road bike? Maybe when I was 8 years old and trying to get some girls attention. When racers do this they look pathetic, and needy, starving for attention - like winning is not enough.
It's showmanship, nothing wrong with the occasional wheelie.
Track stand, bunny hop (for emergencies) and a 180 reverse is enough for me. All are handy skills.
so you can bunny hop and not wheelie?
@@lechprotean bunny hops are way easier!
I wheelie want to know how to do this on a road bike too.
Wheelie impressive joke.
That was great now I'm going to practice Wheeling my gravel bike this weekend. 👍
Cool! Impressive! but can you wheelie on an indoor trainer? I want to see that, who else would like to see that? 😉👍🏼🚴🏻♂️
My tailbone and I had a discussion about this video. It recommends NO!
yessss legend!
What’s Quinn Simmons think he’s doing , Wheelie’s on the wrong side of the road.?
Two lovely guys, great dynamic between you two. Enjoyed it
Thanks Solma
Can someone lend me their road bike so I can try it? Given the price of road bikes these days (££££!) not sure I want to attempt that on my own one. I could do it in my childhood but pretty sure that bike was about £50 from Halfords 😂
*wow, its so difficult to do a wheelie on a drop down handle bike, he does it so easily........😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳*
I know!! Annoying he makes it look so easy
*wow!* * insert funny face symbols here *
All the skills that you taught yourself as kids back in the 80's.
@alecbriggs.... Total legend of the game
Nice and a 9 month wait on a new frame
Very nice control of your friend. I like this allez sprint colour. How about aluminium frame performance in this 2022 allez sprint?? However aluminium will heavy than carbon. Did aluminium Nike made rider slow ???
A mate of mine broke his Cannondale fork when he wheelied it.Sounded like a gunshot when it snapped.
I find it harder to wheelie my road bike, than my mountain bike. My road bike just want to stay on two wheels
i thought it was all in the lifting with the arms, cool i may try in my next rides but to be honest i'm a bit scared ahah. but actually it happened quite a few times riding in the alps when i had to apply full pressure to quickly pass a mate that i was riding side by side with because a car was comming and my front wheel always lifted up. I guess it's easier when it's uphill
I once saw Sagan do a wheelie and fall on his back so I don't even try anymore.
I always worry I'll go to far and land on my arse on the asphalt.
It’s a wheeling season for sure!
David Im hoping you can help me , I watch all your videos and have just bought a Scott Addict RC30 2022 and like on your video you do state you didnt get on with the saddle, I am thinking this also, could you please recommend a comfortable sadle for me please, Im not so clued up with saddles, I would appreciate all the help thank you
Tricky recommending saddles but I'm familiar with the Syncros saddles that Scott likes to spec and I must admit I'm no fan, too flat and firm for me. A really popular saddle that might work is the Fabric Scoop - it's got more curve and cushioning and it's relatively affordable so could be worth a punt
@@davidarthur Thank you so much :)
What's the recommended gear combination to use to do a wheelie?
It's different for everyone and every bike. Usually use the small ring in the front and I'd say around the 4th largest cog in the cassette to get started to get the wheel in the air then play around and find a comfortable gear since it depends on the speed.
I also found doing it on a slight gradient helped as well. Not too steep though!!
Have definitely accidentally done it a lot. Road bikes have their weight more to the rear and if we go up a small steep slope after stopping for awhile, I usually have my ratios low enough that I'll wheelie all the way up without noticing.
That moment when the front drops down at the top of the hill is jarring lol.
what in tarnation
"Without noticing" I smell a lie... what happens when you try to steer? 🤨
@@hausemaster5659 it's straight up so there's no need to steer, sometimes I do try and steer because I'm off centre so I notice and hit the rear brake to get the front back down.
Essentially the bike tilts a little because of the wheel weight, it turns a little but not as much as it should.
@@Guessmynameification you know how when you learn to wheelie and you can't keep the front up for long, you're just using power to do it but after you accelerate enough your wheel comes down, essentially the same thing, but because it's a steep upslope like a wheelchair ramp kind of thing, the bike somehow balances itself on the rear wheel.
@@Rose_Butterfly98 Dude... when you ride a bike you're making microadjustments to the handlebars to stay upright... even when riding no hands you make little adjustments with your body.
