You look good you ride good

I think marginal gains will add up, if you consider the OSPW of your other video it will add up to 5w save that is something

bearings are meant to work under load, just spinning them is satisfying but doesnt tell sh*t XD

BBInfinite ceramic bsa was incredible, just the smoothness was worth it, and I felt way better and faster with it.

According to your numbers.... if I save 4 secods by investign 1 watt (on the 200 watt example) and assuming we keep it linear I would be saving 400 sec from 200 w vs 300 w. this do not make much sence...

Awesome man, loved seeing the race & your commentary!

my main reason is not of being faster, it's because it's running much smoother and with less chain-noise :-)

Gte jujst better jockey wheels for 20-30 USD from China, but they are very noisy, and ceramics don't last long anyway.

Literally, putting your sunglasses OVER your helmet straps instead of under them confers a more significant gain than ceramic bearings (and yes, that’s been verified in a wind tunnel). Other things that have more benefit… shaving your arms and legs… 14x more benefit than oversized pulleys, tailoring your jerseys to get rid of the wind flapping on the shoulders, a helmet with fewer vents (which are ironically less expensive helmets).

Good explanation thank you

under load a c bearing does nothing.marketing bs

how about taking a laxative to lose a bit of weight

What gains you get from drive chain efficiency, you lose in aero deficiency.

Awesome commentary! Sounded like a lot of fun! Funny too!

Good commentary, that is something I need to work on 😅

Thanks a bunch for getting that idea out of my head and saving some money :-) And Go Green! ;-)

Awesome mate ! Thank you. Just tried to do 15 min intervals at my FTP but felt like 150% of my FTP 😂😂 I think I experienced the spiral of death.

These numbers mean nothing. Mentality is a huge factor in racing. A rider who has all the most expensive kit is likely going to perform better, even if the data shows the difference is negligible. Placebos work. I still buy the upgrades and I know they don't make much of a difference

"Literally" - I don't think that word means what you think it means. The data says they're a waste of money and pays for the marketing. If you can afford them because you like how they look then fine, just don't tell other people you bought them to save watts.

device B is begging for help

My road bike on 11th and I bought 12th 1cm different. Original was like as this video not even spinning. After I installed a new one my bike feels different. I believe most standard bike has those jockey wheels in it. I am super happy with upgrade. Your video theory is make sense 👍🏻

I have a non-4k Apple TV and I don’t see any shadows at all. Is there a string I need to adjust?

Dec 22 2023 I started not knowing any of this except seeing a top pro triathlete always ride a Tron bike which didnt understand why . Didnt know about the courses nothing. Im sharing this because at age 66 and a triathlete . My swimming has been the weakest of my 3. Well cycling now on Zwift , the cycling is my strongest behind running . Started as a runner in 1984 . Got 3 days max to go which means 48 days to get the Tron .

Are you still using GP5000? I have got more flats on it whether using tubeless or latex. Have you tried Pirelli p zero?

Ah, the spiral of death.... been there

Great video! I'm one of those rare unicorns who can be in my own head with no music during a race. However some good metal or rock is great for a serious climb. Hope to see you out there one day.

What about really dirty drive terrains does it save more watts because During triatholon you sweat, you bike collects lot of dust? Or what about a gravel race when you are riding in verry rough and dusty conditions?

Hi Eric, is Erg mode good to do over and unders? like 2min at 200W then 30s at 300w, 6 times?

All this stuff is overrated, overhyped, and overpriced. In my opinion, if you are rich buy them or if you are a racing professional. Other than that, the rest of the mere mortal, don't waste your money. If you keep your drive train clean, that is all that matters.

15 seconds...... is 15 seconds

well recovered. Totally understandable that you didn't want to hit the deck again.

4:15 100% agree! Doing 20/40 sec splits (from 175W to 380W) on a Saris Hammer (1st Gen model from like 2017) direct drive trainer is horrible. Weirdly for me it's the opposite of the spiral of death - the resistance doesn't increase fast enough during the 20-sec high power split and so when I put more power on the pedals to reach the 380W target, the flywheel spins like crazy and my cadence goes too high during the 40-sec recovery phase. This gets progressively worse on the next interval to the point where the flywheel is going so fast that I can't put any power at all on the pedals (without going at like 200 rpm lol). Totally disappointed on these trainers tbh

I guess all 3 correct.

Now I finally understand the meaning of 'Marginal Gains'.❤😂

ERG for planned workouts. Sim mode for racing or freeriding.

Here's all the reason you need. It looks cool. There :)

Great vid: thx!

Have been using the Wahoo Kickr together with Trainerroad since many years. Always used ERG mode, never had any issues with it.

I bought a expensive Ceramic Speed bottom bracket and after about 500 miles it started to creak. After 1.5 k miles I took the crank off to inspect and there was some black substance around the bearings. I took the seals off the bearings and it looked like the bearings were disintegrating and they were very loose but still rolled smoothly but had a lot off play. Hambini was right when he said ceramic bottom brackets are sht. I put on a Dura Ace one. Rolls nice and I could buy 4 of them for the cost of a high end BB.

I already have a pretty fast PC that I put together over the past few years, probably more powerful than Zwift appears to need, but I am wondering if an AMD 8GB RX 6600-based GPU is fast enough, and whether it matter if I connect it to my 4k monitor via HDMI (1.2) or Displayport (2.0)?

I think you are underselling ERG mode - all you need to do is focus on keeping you're preferred cadence and the resistance will adjust to meet the workout intervals. So much more work to achieve the same effect without ERG mode, I use it for 99% of my workouts. Where I find it works less well is really short intervals like 10-20 secs, then it just doesn't keep up and those intervals end up being less hard than intended.

I'm just a tart and like how they look. For my standard of riding its just a waste of time but then there is the sparkly accessories to happiness ratio....😁😅

I can't believe you didn't add what the laptop specs were. It was such a nice performance comparison clip!

About the guy that crashed - don't ask if they need anything next time you're in a race 😂

Less weight while you ride! Excellent! Fast!
