Andrew Feather's WINNING Hill Climb Bike | Sub 6kg Cannondale SuperSix LAB71

[@gclar014]

great looking bike! good to see a big brand sponsoring someone for such a unique discipline as hill climbing. Hopefully it performs to Andrews expectations and doesn't hamper his performance. (Also, I'm almost positive that Andrews phone is going off in his pocket. I keep hearing a vibrating noise like a phone's going off at times when he talks.)

For a man named Feather, what else could we expect :) beautiful bike, indeed.

Any SuperSix Cannondale weighing under 6Kg can be re-badged as ‘SuperSubSix’.

Looks great, Feather is incredibly fast.

[@tomasiskooo]

I am a bit surprised it isnt lighter. I am building (not necessarily a climbing bike) Canyon Ultimate CFR using Carbon-Ti and Darimo products, THM Clavicula crankset, Dura-Ace R9200 2x12, disc brakes, with 45mm aero wheels and 26mm tubeless tires and it should come at 5.8kg with pedals, mounts, bottle cages and a bar tape :D

[@7gibbens]

I'm doing something similar with an older rim brake Canyon Evo and THM clavicular crank. Just wondering what bottom bracket you got to match the two? Regards 🚴🇦🇺

Disc brakes all the way. If you train in hilly terrain the phrase “what goes up must come down” comes to mind. Disc brakes have saved me from crashes many times in wet or dry conditions on hilly and flat terrain. Stay safe guys!

[@klaudiuszzieba2797]

I always loved hill climb diary's so HOT to watch riders and tech :)

[@mattkavanaugh5623]

Lights required but not bar end plugs?

[@rob-c.]

Some hill climbs are run on open roads. I guess the figure the lights are seen s more important from this perspective than bar end plugs. Although I think they’ll have to start considering a minimum brightness requirement as their rule is looking pretty useless at this point.

[@cwmitch2]

Good luck for tomorrow mate.

[@dddreeeeeee]

the hunt hill climb wheels is only compatible with tubular tyres so far i know right? it doesnt support tube type and tubeless tyres?

[@whizler]

Interesting, but as a purpose-built bike it's one almost nobody should consider. Useful would have been to include the tradeoffs of each component (e.g., weight savings vs. cost) so us mere mortal riders could judge whether an upgrade would be worth it.

[@PhiyackYuh]

Most mortal riders and dreaming of putting watt bombs are fat farks or not strong enough right 😂 put down those burgers and beers and get in the gym to get stronger and shed them beer belly. Thats the best weight savings than any of the grams bs people obsessed for 😂

You really just can't let the fact that he's on a disc bike go even if it costs money? He could go even lower if he just ran up too.

[@rickjohnson4887]

hmmm… maybe that's why why they made them adjustable-yah think?

[@82vitt]

Pretty much all cx riders have the levers set up like that. And if you watch Andrew climbing you will get why he chooses to have them fitted like that. He looks like he is riding on an eliptical

[@sbccbc7471]

[@ericrohani199]

"There is a weight savings on the frame"... because they have to make the frame lighter to compensate for the heavy disc brakes. Rim brakes are for road bikes.

[@jfriesne]

If you're only going to use the bike for climbing, you won't ever need brakes, take them off to save weight :)

[@TheKevzx6r]

It’s vital to have disc brakes whilst climbing up a hill.

There are flat and downhill sections. You should probably understand the course before commenting. Also, he won...with these disc brakes. Rim brakes are extinct.

[@Sandzsteedt]

Because disc brakes are better and the mass closer to the hub which leads to more responsive lighter rim weight. Also there is the benefit of not wearing out your rims when braking so your investment to expensive carbon wheels doesn't wear down while using your brakes.

Even the brake pads are lightweight!!!
