Also consider that Phil was wearing a long sleeve jersey on the Boardman and a short sleeve more aero one on the Orbea. That's probably half the speed difference already. If you have him wear an aero helmet, a short aero sleeve jersey (or aero bra underneath) and aero socks he's probably gonna get there without spending a single pound on the bike.

I think adding in a £3k bike - like something from the Ribble range with good tyres with a normal cyclist would be interesting. Also the impact of tyre size with a more “full weight” cyclist would be a good comparison. The hypothesis being heavier riders benefit more from wider tyres.
@RibbleWithoutaCause
@RibbleWithoutaCause 9 месяцев назад
@@romeandcurry6915 I can help you there. I am your average cyclist, tipping the scales at over 100kg who now has that £3k Ribble bike. I went from a Triban RC120 to a Ribble R872 105 Di2, six times the price. Is the bike six times better or faster no, is it smoother and more refined, yes Do I enjoy cycling 6 times more, no, it is just a nicer expeience now. Switching from the stock tyres on the Triban to Continetal GP5000's with latex inner tubes changed the ride quality and maybe saved a few seconds. I also run them on my Ribble too a cost effective uprage. We need more of these videos aimed at people like me, you don't need a £3000 bike let alone a £10,000 bike to enjoy cycling, you also don't need to be the weight of Tour De France rider to enjoy getting out on a bike. Cycling needs to embrace more people ike "us" and shift away from a sport that promotes an unhealthy body image and ridiculous prices only attainable by a tiny percentage of people in take part inthe sport.

I'd like to see a tire width effect video, generally, all the way up to 4.8 fat bike... or whatever the largest is for a road style tread. the tread is the difficult part to work around. the closest I've found is a 26 × 4 inch marketed to ebikes on Amazon by a huge number of sellers that all seem to be selling that same tire with their own branding (based on the photo) but it's really functionally closer to a gravel tire with regards to rolling resistance, as tires go they're cheaper and heavier with poor sidewall support so I had to write it at exactly the recommended pressure. but even so, significantly less rolling resistance than the nobbies for road riding. like if you take a fat bike fork and put it on that time trial bike, with that 4 inch tire (or a bigger, slicker, one if you can find it) how does it affect rolling resistance and aerodynamics?

As a former semi-pro rider if I were you I wouldn't worry too much about top-end bikes. Not for the type of riding you want to do. There are a million variables but on a surface reading I would recommend a decent quality gravel bike or what we used to call a cyclocross bike. You're going to want to try before you buy because ergonomics will absolutely matter. What works for someone else in your situation might not translate.

Thanks for the great video and experiment! So, basically, for additional 9.5k pounds you get 10% increase in efficiency/speed. Which is great if you're competitive, but really shows that for begginers and even many amateurs/weekend-warriors it doesn't make much sense to spend absurd amount of money of somewhat faster bikes. All that matters is that you buy a bike nice enough that you want to ride it and can afford, and enjoy it. And great job, Phil! It's great a see a more representative person trying the tech out!

Totally. When I see fellow riders smashing it on the bike it's not because of what they ride, its their engine! I know folks riding on older, 'slower' bikes, who always overtake everyone else riding the latest bling. One caveat though, they've been training well for years and still do. The issue is a top end bike is much better at showing off and getting head turns, than the work needed to turn on the pedals.

Chapeau to Phil for taking part in this test. It's really interesting to see what difference equipment choice can make, but it really needed comparing to what being fitter can do. And Phil's experience on the ski bars are on point. It takes practice to get in and out, and get used to riding whilst using them. I run them on an aero road bike for time trials so it's not as twitchy, and it serves as a normal summer bike when not racing. And as a summer bike it is nice to har but I have the previous iteration Boardman alloy bike set up for the winter and it is a brilliant bike for the money. It's what I started riding with and is still great fun to ride after 15,000 miles

Yes! I’ve been an avid road cyclist for over 25 years and tried many different segments of cycling including mountain, gravel, CX, and BMX. I would consider myself more skilled than most. I bought my fist TT bike last (Cevelo P3X) and I must say, the learning curve was so much steeper that I would have anticipated. It took at least a week for me to feel comfortable on the skis. So nice work Phil. But to answer the question how much speed you can buy? Before I bought my P3X, I had 0 Strava KoMs, now I have around 40. I sometimes feel guilty about this because I know the people I got them from are far better athletes.

Fun video. A general criticism of GCN's methodology is that getting used to a new bike setup is really important to really performing with it. Phil should not have been expected to perform well off the bat with a new fit (aggressive position on the Orbea), or with a TT position with zero prior practice. Similar to the flat pedal video you guys did a while back and had to do a follow-up on.

When I got my TT bike, it was January in Michigan. Riding outside was not in the cards. So I put it onto the trainer for all my indoor rides until it was warm enough to go outside. It felt a little odd for about 2 minutes now that I had to control where the bike was going, but all the practice in the position really paid off. I can pretty easily get 2-2.5 mph of extra speed on the TT bike for the same power output, and my aerodynamic Madone road bike is no rolling brick. The position makes a huge difference.

If the lottery comes in then yes, but for now its just a case of nurturing the Scalera by giving it regular TLC with the odd bit of bling thrown in (wax on the chains, gold chain, new bar tape every year, and regular servicing etc). Arguably the longest and most meaningful relationship I've had??!!

Try this, get one steel frame upgrade it to something decent with 28 or 30c tires and let him road. I am sure with a comfortable and still cheap bicycle he will do excellent if not even better times. But maybe sponsors will get angry.

Deffo want to see the upgrade Boardman vid. I bought my first road bike from previous hybrid and it was the Boardman SLR carbon. Best buy of kit and fit the price and features, a bargain. Also well played for having a go on the bars. Balls of steel that man

I once worked with a rider doing the Furnace Creek 508. As you guessed, a 508 mile ride through Death Valley and the surrounding desert. We did the math between 'full aero' and 'standard road bike'. We calculated 'full aero' would save 15 minutes. Which might sound like a lot, until you realize the event takes +/-35 hours. That's less than 1% time savings. But there is more to just 'time savings' to consider for a ride like that. Comfort is HUGE. So while you would get 15 minutes is aero efficiency, what would the cost in 'neck/back pain' be? More than 15 minutes. - I'm a little older, and a lot wiser these days. If you aren't getting paid to ride, there is zero benefit to 'bought speed'. Because no one cares if you do your century in 5:05 or 5:15. The important thing is 'comfort'. What bits about your bike will make the riding experience more pleasant, more comfortable, more enjoyable. And you should also consider durability. If you are dropping coin for a bike, it should last a long time.

Good to see GCN are taking on board the comments about featuring more budget bikes, it'll be interesting to see how much money in terms of upgrades it takes to get the Boardman on par with the Orbea. Switching to latex inners or going tubeless would be one option, don't know if that Boardman is tubeless ready though.

With the way road bike prices are the best thing anyone with cost in mind could do, is to buy a good quality entry level bike, bike fitted with changes to stem, bar and cranks as appropriate. Also gearing and saddle and of course good tyres and latex tubes. Most people aren't going to realise or feel the benefits of aero frames and full internal cables. But a bike that fits properly with all the contact point components dialled in will feel amazing. I've not mentioned a wheel upgrade as I feel the cost benefits outweigh the gains with respect to the spirit of my advice. I would also recommend SL SPD pedals and good quality shoes. Northwave, Lake, Giro. Expensive but again you'll get a lot more benefit from that system than carbon cockpits, wheel upgrades or daft ceramic bearings. Another upgrade to think on is switching from 160 to 140 rotors if disc brakes or upgrading the pads on a rim brake bike. All of this can be done before going near 2000-6000 grand bikes or 1500 grand wheel sets. And of course training properly and frequently 😊. That Boardman bike looks the nicest bike there!

I’ve started cycling since last year. I bought a suit for the summer that is €300, while my bike was a second hand €200. One year later it is still an absolute amazing bike for cycling as a hobby. I cycle roughly 1,5 - 2 hours or more every time. You don’t need an expensive bike.

Slap some cheap aero wheels and good tires on the Boardman and you have like a $1200 bike that will almost be as fast as the $10k bike.

Kudos Phil and GCN. Great idea to upgrade the Boardman (maybe even just the tyres/tubes) and rerun the test. Also, how about another test, same setup but this time with an experienced cyclist (Olli?). This would probably more accurately answer the "how much speed can you buy" question.
