- With 5 "traditional" Unbounds under my belt, I decided it was time to graduate to the bigger distance, the 350 mile XL!
The level of preparation for Unbound XL is above and beyond a normal event, of course. Here's a summary of my gear:
@CannondaleBicycles71 SuperSix EVO SE
@SRAM mullet set up with a 46t front and 10-50 rear. A mix of SRAM Red and Eagle.
@zippspeed Firecrest 303 wheels
@ReneHerseCycles Manastash Ridge 700x44 in Endurance Plus
Zipp Vuka Alumina clip-on extensions
Lots and lots and lots of @untappedmaple.
@velocioapparel Concept Radiator jersey + Utility Bib shorts
@moosepacks custom half frame bag with 3L water, top tube bag with snacks, saddle bag with tools, tubes, and rando equipment.
@SunGod Airas Sunglasses with 8KO Iris Photochromatic

Holy smokes King lookin' vascular!!
In case you have miss calculated your hydration - that's 7 litres you are carrying not 10 👍
Godspeed!
Very sick setup! 🤙 Good luck Ted 😎
Good luck out there, may the wind be at your back 🚴✨✨
good luck Ted. thanks for the bike review.
Wow, just the best, most perfect set up. I guess that would be fitting for the King!!!
Love it Ted.
I’m still running my 10-50, and rolling on (depending on course) my 38 full nobbies Stilacom tires.
Switching to my 44s slicks Snoqualimes when it matters.
Your an inspiration my friend.
Best of luck Ted!
I was signed up and was supposed to be on the start line for the XL but sustained an injury this spring and had to take some time off. I'll be following you on trackleaders. Good luck!
Sweet ride! Enjoy the XL…🍁Vermonters rooting for you🍁
You look shredded! Good luck!
Great idea on the magnets!
Looking lean and strong, Ted! Best of luck!
Good luck Ted 💪🏻
Luck, happiness, and health Ted!
Good luck Ted! You are loved in Emporia (and a lot of other places, I imagine).
Nice setup! I saw you roll out before I went and started setting up my stuff and realized I had left my HR monitor at home! I hope you dogdedthe rain! Good luck!
had to watch it twice, eyes were glued on the bicep veins the first time around
Complimenti!!!
Gran bel giardino!!!
Good luck Ted 🙂
Great vid bro, good luck!! Love the bike, if only they were in so expensive that his homeboys could buy one
Would love to see one of these for your tour divide setup. You and alex howes are madlads for doing unbound right before it.
Will do!
Go get em Ted!
Awesome & Thanks :) Magnet idea was pretty sick :)
350!! wow!...and thanks for all the detailed comments
Holy crap I think that is the most perfect bike set up in the history of the galaxy. Enjoy it and good luck this weekend.
For 350miles? NOPE
Interesting tire choice for the mud. Hope they clear well as my experience with RH knobbies wasn’t great in the mud.
If you had a steel frame, you would only need one magnet. Save a few grams. 😁
😁
Cannondale doesn’t make those.
Nice video. Like the music as well.
You look fit! Crush it out there brutha!
I always bring the single use chamois buttr packs. Never leave home without them 😂
🤣 when you know, you know
Looking lean Ted, damn!!
magnet is a good idea. you could have put the rare earth magnet type and put them inside your top tube pouch to make it stealth. also rare earth magnets are way stronger and won't actually disconnect on bumpy roads!
Beware the magnet tapped to your frame bouncing loose in the chunk, and also chewing up your top tube. You might cut a piece of innertube to put between the magnet and frame. Beyond that, good luck!
He put tape
Doesn't matter. Cannondale owns the bike anyway and not his. Will get replaced if it gets trashed. The cannondale logo will get covered that's why he put clear tape and not black electrical tape
Is cigar smoking Ted King now the equivalent of backwards hat Dylan Jawnson?
Ceegar Ted ? Ceegar King perhaps? :)
Good luck, hope it is not too muddy.
Finally someone who rides the same bike I do… it’s been a love/hate relationship. Bike feels great but the asymmetrical bottom bracket has been the bane of my existence 😔
Are you coming out with a video of all the damage the bike sustained from the Unbound? Would be pretty cool to see how it was destroyed by the course. :)
Nice acting skills man!
Nice setup! what pressure do you run the tires at for such event?
hey Ted Seems like Mud is always some kind of factor in this race.... Have you thought about using Bicycle Armor? I use it for my cyclocross season... Works great
46-50 granny gear. Hope the hills arent too steep!
Hey Ted, where can us non-pros purchase the white labeled Zipp Firecrest 303 wheels? They look great.
Hope the ride went well for you Ted! I was interested in the one part you did not mention: what saddle are you riding? I suspect the Specialized Power!? Its tough to find a saddle that supports our behinds but gives max space for our legs to move freely at the same time...... All the best Ted, Gerlach Sven
looks like a fizik tempo argo r1
You need to get moose packs to sew that magnet into the top tube pack
Nice bike greetz from ger
Great setup, What is the 3L bladder brand?
good luck- what mount are you using to hold the flashlight? thanks
Wish Velocio would make a skin suit!
About to buy Manastash Ridge. Currently have Silca sealant. What sealant you recommend?
Which saddle did you choose?
if you can't go fast go long ;)
Thank God's you don't need math skills for the race: 2+3+2...
what's that 10 liters 🤣🤣🤣
Bc 1x is the future, and the future is now
1x on roadbikes or even gravel bikes are for idiots who have a hard time between 2 gears.
What’s your mount setup for the phoenix light?
The Varia does let you know when a cyclist is coming up behind you. Better yet, it will let you know when a dog is chasing you. That’s extremely helpful.
I was gonna say, my varias don't care what it is, just that it's behind me and closing the gap.
I guess ears are out of fashion just like rims
So you’re saying you can hear a car when you’re riding into a 20 mile an hour headwind?
how many days did you take off before the race day?
and the carbone can handle this weight?
What’s that saddle bag tho?
looks like he DNF'd! Kept any eye on his progress through the night and he was pretty much top 10 with only a few mile gap to the leader! About 4 hours ago his tracker put ihim off course stopped for a few hours before being flagged as withdrawn! Watched him win the 200 here a few times!! He remains my favorite ex-pro tour pro for these events!
Bummer
Bummer indeed. 350 miles is hard for me to even imagine and SO many things can go wrong
TH-camr brain got the best of him
I thought that aero bars were not allowed for the XL race.
Aerobars are allowed for the XL race, but not the 100 & 200 Pro/Elite categories
@1:47 hahaha
Hi, Nice bike. I am 6’. Is 58 sise correct to me? Thanks
Should be a good choice, yes.
Magnets reminds me of Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad... "yeah b^tch, magnets!"
How come you aren’t mixing it up with the Pro’s? XL is for the plodders. No Ted!
Specialized saddle?
That’s a Fizik Tempo Argo
drop the PSI details
DIRTY KANZA!!!
Fenix pd36r is not suitable for road bike imo. Especially smooth reflector is not for bikes, Orange peel reflector would be better.
agreed!
that bike is not a supersix evo se, its a superX
Maybe look it up? 100% a supersix Evo se, which with a more cx spec has replaced the super x
Love Dirty Kanza
;)
Unbound *
@@Juan_More_Mile No it was dirty. You see the mud? A very Dirty Kanza
Over 20 pounds of water sounds silly--- hard to imagine carrying that much weight outweighs stopping for water at the 75 mile point - 20 fucking pounds of water !!!!!!
It's Kansas...better to have the water and not need it than to need it and not have it. LOL
@@karlr6810 bro , stop the 🧢- I’m no mathematician nor physicist but it’s hard to believe carrying 22 lbs for 150 miles is faster then stoping for literally 2 mins to reload water at the 75 mile marker - Im here for the R&D of it I’m just saying scared money don’t make money -
@@60westpro *than
identification is the root of our suffering ••
Agreed
Man those bags are ugly af on that bike setup
Maybe if Ted had a macaw on his shoulder they wouldn't look out of place.
Man, those are some ugly bags!
The weight freak in me did a double take on the magnet solution! YIKES!🤯🤣
He went with a 1x because the sponsors said he should ride a 1x. Sram crankset with quarq powermeter which is also owned by sram. Come on man atleast be honest. Sram is hardcore promoting 1x both for road and gravel. Because less materials but more $$$ margins
Entirely incorrect. SRAM asked me what I would like to run. Given that Kansas mud is like peanut butter, I decided an Eagle MTB and not clogging a front derailleur would be a wiser choice. I have a huge variety of options from my sponsors.
Keep in mind this guy is sponsored and is no different from pro tour riders. He's a walking advertisement and his "setup" is picked by the sponsors and not really him
