Should the weight limit be changed for pro bikes? 🪶

@adadinthelifeofacyclist 4 месяца назад

Track bikes' limit could be reduced to half the 6.8kg with modern technology, but it would make it more expensive to get a competitive bike

@hisdadjames4876 4 месяца назад

No. Its great that pro bikes, or near pro bikes remain accessible to amateur riders. Reducing the limit would rekindle the weight-weeny development process and encourage the use of ever more expensive materials and components….putting them way out of reach of the average Joe.

@fotmheki 4 месяца назад

Yes, 7.5 kg should be the minimum so bikes are more robust and so safer also because some of them are already 7.5 kg and this rule hasn't been updated since the introduction of disk brakes

@jeromekraut8652 4 месяца назад

It should stay the same. The price it would cost to have the lightest bikes would be immense and so the poorer pro teams wouldn't be able to afford them. There was a time in the 90s that those time trial machines could cost up to 50-100 grand and so the rider would already benefit from a better bike. Which would be almost like doping by just having the money. So just try to build better bikes while staying in this weight limit, though I do get the argument that for some riders the percentage canget wuite high. Then again I have never seen a 90kgrider see win the tour de France, so the handicap of Viingegard with his 58kg can't be that troublesome.

@Jari1973 4 месяца назад

10 kg could be a good weight.. Bicycles could be made more aerodynamic and thus faster.. Manufacturers could use cheaper materials and make more profit.. People's condition would improve..😁

@mommamooney 4 месяца назад

Ha! Just as the Comment of the Week section began, I turned to my husband and said, “Jon pops up in the various comment sections and has conversations.” Yes that was me. I was viscerally against cycling for myself, but my husband is an avid cyclist and he was watching a GCN video on his phone. The snark and sass caused me to ask what he was watching and since I am full of snark and sass, he thought I’d like it. I did. I’m also a photographer and love to travel and GCN offers all that too. Watching GCN is what we do whilst having dinner. Fast forward a couple of years and now I want to explore by bike too. Ollie is kind of responsible for me having the bike I have. She just went out on her very first outdoor ride and I submitted her to the Bike Vault. So thanks GCN, you’ve brought me around and hopefully will have many years and miles riding with my husband

@JonCannings 4 месяца назад

So I wasn't wrong! I loved it, I was talking with a colleague yesterday and I explained how our audience is so varied. From people who live and breathe cycling, to others who watch for entertainment. I pop up in the comments as myself or any of the channel names too. Thanks for the support and it's great how you've fallen into watching GCN!

So fun to see Jon back in the saddle again! Thanks for making a personal appearance, Jon, and I enjoyed your chat with Ollie about UCI pro-bike weights and it does seem that UCI-okay frames and wheels could be a good basis for it all. But then some crafty teams could run cardboard bars and what not and who knows. And I'm sort of digging the weirdness of the Bike Vault with Jon and Ollie as super judgmental judges who give a lot of super nices. 😀.

@SirGeorgeRoss 4 месяца назад

I propped the bike up with screwdriver, which in itself was quite challenging on the icy snow. I did indeed remove the screwdriver in Photoshop. No other editing, just the screwdriver. I photographed it using an EF 85mm f/1.4 lens, hence the awesome DoF. The real trick was to shoot it in the shadows and use fill flash, which made the bike and the gold chain pop. The color of the bike and the snow just worked. And as an FYI, on the chimney, the bike has not been ridden yet and I figured I would be making some adjustments then. (I have set it up exactly as my other road bike but I am sure there will be some refinement.) Really great to see you, sir! @@JonCannings

Smaller riders suffer from the weight limit however they benefit from being more aero. It's give and take

@oliverbridgewood3929 4 месяца назад

I think they argue that because of 700c they don't benefit as much as they should.

@spliffonator1 4 месяца назад

Smaller riders being ‘more aero’ is an interesting point. Overall yes, they are more aero in terms of CdA, however in relative terms smaller riders are less aero that bigger riders. A rider that is twice as large is not twice as aerodynamically inefficient. Assuming the relative position remains the same, bigger riders are at a relative advantage - probably explains the w/CdA of hour time triallists meaning they’re generally taller, stronger riders

@richardharris8538 4 месяца назад

The bike is a higher % of their system weight, which is an arbitrary imposition, as they could be riding a lighter bike. They might be more aero, but they're still disadvantaged on the flat because strength is proportional to the cube of rider's height, whereas air resistance is proportional to the square of that, (all other things being equal). To be fair, I think smaller riders should be allowed lighter bikes, but I'm biased.

@out_spocken 4 месяца назад

And yet, smaller riders have to put out more watts to keep the same speed on flats as bigger riders...so....it's hardly give and take. It's basic common sense...the only reason the rule exists is because of safety...and yet it fails to acknowledge that lighter riders don't need as much reenforcement as bigger riders. % of rider. Simple. If anything it might stop eating disorders because the w/kg helps smaller riders who likely suffer from eating disorders and not the big diesels that tend to carry more weight.

re: horse racing... (I'm no expert, but...) the jockeys are weighed, then weights (lead shot) are added to the lighter jockeys' saddle to match the heaviest jockey's weight. That's the way I understand it, anyway. edit: the jockeys are weighed together with their saddles and it's the combination weight that is to be matched

@WerdnaLiten 4 месяца назад

Yes, that's it more or less; if the minimum weight for the horse to carry is 58k, and the jockey is 55kg, then he'll add 3kg of lead; whereas if the jockey is 58kg, he won't carry anything......

@prestachuck2867 4 месяца назад

The problem I have with the horse racing thing is that the more a horse wins, the more weight they make him carry. It’s cruel torture to the horses. Imagine if they did that in cycling Pogacar and Vingegaard would have to race wearing loaded weight vests! It does no good for the sport, only to the mob bookies.

In 2000, a pro level frame set was around 1.7kg, but it's not uncommon for them to be half that weight these days, so there's definitely scope for lowering the uci limit by at least a kilo and keeping the same "safety standards" brought about by weight limits...

@roberthenri9945 4 месяца назад

Great to see Jon back!!! He's well within the top 3 all-time best presenters list. Bring back Matt (#1 in the humour category), pair them up with Si and you have the all-star team. Ollie, you're a close 4th with competition from Emma and Chris. As for the issue of UCI weight limit, I have a different opinion. Set a min system weight, similar to F1, where riders and machine must comply with regulations. This would promote healthier fitness and be more representative of society as a whole. My suggestion would be 90 or even 100 kg total systems min. weight. This would level the field. What do you think??!

Jon is totally right! The faster a horse is the more weight he must carry! This is totally unfair! "In horse racing, each race specifies a set weight that all participating horses must carry. This weight is determined by the Jockey Club, which sets a ‘scale of weights’ typically ranging from 113 to 118 pounds."

@zoufmalade 4 месяца назад

On the subject of the weight limit, while ofc components have evolved to be strong enough and UCI legal, making it possible to build a sub-6.8kg bike, the limit is still a (relatively) good thing for bike prices. Even on world tour teams, some bikes would be immensely more expensive between the lightest UCI legal, and a more "traditional" bike. There is already around a 10 000€/$/£ difference between the cheapest and most expensive bike on world tour events. Without a weight limit, it would almost certainly be way higher than that.

What would really improve coverage is a Global Network for Cycling + Racing. Maybe it would be a reasonably priced annual subscription or something...

28:38 Photo Bomb: Look closely, the Bianchi, there appears to be 'something' growing out of the top of the right shifter's head, reminiscent of vintage non-aero shifters! Of course it's only part of the tree!

The truebike is something I have been considering. Have a elite Drivo 2, which doesn't have that motor assist which makes going downhill a pain 😉

Jon, my 80s schwinn airdyne had little wheels in the front in order to roll it where I wanted it. So cool!

"I never did get [those coins] back off him either. Yeah, he's from up your neck of the woods, init he?" Was that a subtle dig at the... uh ... *frugal* nature of folks from Yorkshire, Jon? 😉 It's great to see you back in front of the camera again. Still waiting for that Cannings all-vintage Bike Vault episode.

I think the formula 1 comparison is quite à propos here. If they were to get rid of the 6,8 kg rule, and replace it with more stringent rigidity and resilience tests (not dissimilar to preseason crash tests in F1), they would both 1) insure a high level of safety for riders (higher actually than with a simple minimum weight limit…) and 2) they would allow for a totally new dimension of mechanical sports that is missing from road cycling, but is very important in Motorsports, which is the importance of engineering and technology development in the overall performance of the team. That would make cycling even more interesting to watch, increasing competition amongst top bike manufacturers, and to be honest, it wouldn’t even necessarily go the way of lighter and lighter and lighter bikes, it could take a totally different path ! But even if it does go the lightweight way, well it would be quite alright, thanks to the severe rigidity tests. So yeah, I’m all for it.

@@JonCannings I'm demented enough to watch that. It seems to be most people's favourite segment anyway. As you can tell from all the comments, we'd also love to see you back on here more often. But we'd settle for once or twice a year as a surprise guest, like this episode.

@twigle3015 3 месяца назад

You could circumvent the eating disorder problem if you where to go off the height of a rider/weight of the frame. I would think that that would be more fair towards smaller riders. However on the GCN show they showed an interesting graph of frame weight/speed and it seems that in the last decade frame weight has gone up but racing speed as well. So lowering bike weight is probably only effective if you have a purely uphill ride.

Smaller riders dominate in some races because they tend to have a better power to weight ratio. They also have an advantage when drafting and when people are drafting them. The weight limit should be increased to promote aero innovation.
