So, I have a friend who, a few years ago had a Pinarello Prince that decoupled at the chain stay. It was obviously a factory defect so he took it in. My friend is close to 60 years old and a bit overweight... They didn't have a Prince in his size but they had the Dogma so they told him for $750 they'd transfer his gear over and he could have that. He asked, "Would that frame handle a guy like me?" and the kid in the shop said, "Oh yeah, they know who they're selling these too." My friend laughed out loud and gave them the money.

@universe-juice 7 месяцев назад

Thats actually awesome. How did it work out? Im not trolling, im happy for the guy and would like to know how he likes it.

@PePethePedalPusher 7 месяцев назад

A bit overweight sounds to me like probably under the 250 lb weight limit of most modern carbon race frames, but cool story, none the less. Not sure the chap at the shop has any idea what he's on about though since the Dogma as a hard weight limit of 90 kg, or about 200 lbs, which is far less then Treks used to be, unsure if they changed that though at Trek now.

I'm a mechanic at Decathlon and this is why Decathlon is king at value for money in bikes: Decathlon doesn't have to have any profit margin on the bike. You buy the bike, but you end up buying loads of other stuff. You go to pick up the bike, you get new bottlecages, bottles, tools, lubes, degreaser, clothes.. your wife will come along to look at new padel rackets and gloves for the kids. All that stuff has sufficient margins.. cross selling!

@Bubisch 7 месяцев назад

Perfectly right. And that is why they don’t care so much about the US and AUS market: I would assume the a goal is the EU market.

@steavanusrandy8183 7 месяцев назад

Unfortunately Decathlon Indonesia doesn't sell Van Rysel bike.

@pierrex3226 4 месяца назад

Also, Decathlon belongs to the Auchan family. They are rich AF, the group isn't listed, it's private money, they aren't about milking every cent every quarter. And a lot of decathlon employees are truly passionate about sports and not being human garbage, they don't live lives centered on money. Those who develop decathlon products don't get bonuses if their products sell more. But they do have pride in their work, in knowing people buy the stuff and like the stuff. It's a whole French ethos thing. The value you can get from decathlon is really inspiring. I've had some of their stuff for donkey years, and I'm proud I paid Decathlon money for it, instead of paying for vaporware from a big brand.

@gokaygs 7 месяцев назад

Nice to listen as always but I think there was some pseudo science on this episode @ 27:00 peak torque showed that thru axles don’t make a bike stiffer. @ 24:00 barring the extra weight, a frame with more of carbon material does not take more pedaling energy to transfer the energy to the road. A stiffer build would transfer pedaling forces to the road more efficiently than a flexy build.

@tommyfreckmann6857 7 месяцев назад

I thought the exact same thing.

@discbrakefan 7 месяцев назад

Yeah the energy and extra mass stuff made very little sense from a physics standpoint. Generally you are not getting power losses through a frame but flexing will make it feel slower and respond slower.

I've had a Decathlon Triban RC520 for the last three years or so. It has by far surpassed my expectations. However, the us of QR-skewers is a bit limiting for the upgrade path for wheels. I ended up with DT Swiss 350 hubs which are able to be converted between thru-axles and QR-skewers. Get a better saddle, a couple of deep dish wheels and an Aero handlebar and you have a fast alloy machine for fairly cheap.

@ashurany 7 месяцев назад

Leisure cyclist here. I think a lot of leisure riders want quality high performing bikes with some of the pop but just won't go to the extreme that competitive riders will. If you're not competing, unless you have money to burn, it gets much harder to justify buying a 15k bike over a high quality 3k - 7k bike. At least that is how it is for me.

@bernardo9202 7 месяцев назад

The new van rysel bike, with rival and zipp 303, at 4k, is the perfect bike for anyone not racing. You can't ask for much more, at 8kg, eletronic shifting and some nice carbon wheels. After that is just it's just stupid to run that type of money.... 4k is a lot already.

I really don't get why there is so much discussion about the stiffness of frames out there. Here in Germany, we have " Tour Magazin" which lab tests pretty much every frame from the big brands in a very transparent procedure. There are also some overview charts of the results out there easy to find. You look into this chart, you know the frame stiffness. Of course, ride feel is about more than just numbers from a lab test, but it is definitely not a big guessing game

It's easily overlooked that Decathlon has really deep pockets, so can afford to maintain a full-on research site near Lille. Their Van Rysel stuff, e.g. their clothing, is high quality stuff, many levels above their standard BTWin or Decathlon brands. I think a good comparison would be Honda or Toyota - their bread and butter are reliable, slightly boring cars. Yet they also develop GT or F1 cars that rival the likes of Porsche and Ferrari. Also BMC quite obviously plans on going to the World Tour with Tudor in a few years.

its crazy how much more I value the opinions on this show than any of the 'sponsored/not sponsored' stuff on other channels. I get that everyone needs to put food on the table, but jeez the way the business model is set up in this industry makes it so hard to find honest opinions

The mechanic on this show works for a major bike shop in Sydney which sells certain brands so it's just marketing.

Still an avid user of training wheels. Have rarely ever trained or even raced in Sydney on carbons. Advantages include. - Easier to fix buckles with higher spoke count and external nipples. - Not caring about damaging them if I decide to ride a gravel road, or miss time a curb jump. - Major flex to ride past and/or drop people that are using race wheels. - Not as stiff, as such ride is smoother. - Feels great when putting race wheels in. - Makes local rides and racing a bit harder

Every bike has its compromise so it’s up to your priorities what bike suits your needs.

Not a great portrayal of the leisure cyclist imho. And there's definitely a role that perhaps is the largest missed, which is a performance/fitness cyclist that isn't purely in it to win it.
