Best New Cycling Helmets & Shoe Tech From The 2020 Tour Down Under

[@matthiaskettner6686]

EF still got the most stylish kit and bike. Really nice 🤤

[@woozertoo]

Can’t help but smirk every time I hear the acronym DMT, even in this context 🤩🤪

[@cup_and_cone]

* Less than 15 seconds in * Jon: "grubby hands" Me: 👌

[@mahiru20ten]

Dowsett seems happy to be with Speedplays again.

[@bike_rider-k2h]

He had to ask team management as the team uses Shimano spd sl.

[@Joshuavoice29]

Those S-Works special colorway shoes are gorgeous.

[@british.urchin]

The Raleigh Budgie was my first road bike. Good luck to the Australian Budgies.

[@owenvermeulen1231]

It's great to Alex Dowsett talking about the team sponsors... like Reinvent, shown on his jersey, and mine too, I am on a team called Jukebox and we are the only other team sponsored by Reinvent!!!

[@olternaut]

I like the bont shoes combined with the speedplay.

[@davidmartin305]

I'm still using custom moulded Shimano R315, best shoes ever, although a bit scuffed. But my feet don't care what they look like, they just love how they feel

[@christiandonaj8257]

The rapha shoes looked sweet. The LottoSoudal helmet this year look great too and have been lighter than Oakley and specialized last year I guess.

[@karlbruno5713]

The Specialized colour scheme looks fantastic. What i really missed though, were Mavic shoes (in my opinion the best shoes ever, they are just PERFECT in every way, meaning, looks and specs).

[@neil7769]

I'm 43.5 too - the king of shoe sizes!

[@costasmandylor1565]

Those Rapha shoes!! 😱😱😱

[@JonnyInToronto]

Lachlan is such a great guy, so chilled on the outside.

[@lauig]

Since you mentioned him & the AG2R's kit along with the Specialized initiative for Australia's fire relief effort, Romain Bardet & Mavic have also been auctioning pairs of custom Mavic Comete Ultimate shoes to contribute to that effort, colour scheme of those specific ones is an acquired taste to say the least but man are these carbon cages cool !

[@JonCannings]

My grubby hands all over a helmet, what Sundays are made for.

[@TheWaxChainFanClub]

Haha

[@paulobrien4794]

You could win a prize on the GCN show with a comment like that....

[@corkbb8835]

This is the day of the Lord!

[@jeremybertenshaw6517]

Make sure you give your helmet a good polishing!

[@runningwithshemp]

Is is possible to a video on actual small full custom builders of shoes like Don Lamson (formally D2), Simmon-Design, R7, etc A video in terms would make a world of difference for them in terms of reviewed interest

[@matteogualazzini8979]

I really love the new Rapha shoes. Probably will be expansive but the shoes are very cool

[@davidide1525]

Bont shoes, the best ! Thanks, Jon !

[@jamesdarnbrook5263]

I loved the video, it is great to hear the point of view of the pros about the kit they are obliged to wear. My question to the GCN crew is. Can you do a show that looks at all of the kit / clothing /shoes that the pros are sponsored for this year and build your dream bike +kit for aero, time trialling and climbing?

[@rzeckner]

Will someone please give Jon some Purell! It seems that his hands are always grubby. A small size will do since they are also small.

[@lewardkeeneoppura2684]

Jon with the huarache's 🔥

[@johnbeedham3010]

Thanks Shimano for caring about us Aussies....living in the fire zone!

[@luizeduardocunha2769]

Lifesaver in the apartment.

[@tyson1ize]

well done specialized you have done more for the Australian wildlife after the fires than our own government has, thank you! .. I knew I rode specialized for a reason..

[@OMCbuilt]

Ready for all the welding experts in the comments section..

[@essex__rider]

02:57 Cap not hat! 🧢

[@tomek86rz]

Why Ineos guys are using CCC's jerseys all the time ;-)

[@lfoster7601]

Some Tonka Toy welds on that Specialised...fugly

[@stevec2739]

so what did the spec bike weigh?

[@criticalmile5631]

Jon the Boss! 👊

[@RudiDwiHartanto]

Im curious whats the weight on that allez bike seems a pretty good bike for my cat 3 races, dont have too worry about carbon broken stuff

[@mahiru20ten]

Specialized doesn't list weights for their bikes on their website, so I looked up on reviews about the bike and I found out it weighs 8.34 kilograms for the Allez Sprint Comp.

[@paulmcneil7468]

Gotta love Alex Dowsett

[@jonathantatler]

I'm a complete novice here but... Custom paint jobs aside, which helmet gives the best protection? I know many are sold as 1084 i think, ISO or BS but if you check that it's practically useless although better than nothing I suppose.

[@CharlieKiloSierra8893]

11:44 those leg muscle that I'm dreaming to have ..

[@StezzSquad]

It Changed My Life :)

[@raivkka4313]

I'll take one of those red DeRosa frames thank you very much!

[@jen3800]

my sidi shoes are well over 15 years old and still feel awesome. i don't care about looks because everything wears eventually.

[@itschriswinter]

Geeze Alex can talk for days. He should start a vlog or something

[@bike_rider-k2h]

It's almost like he has haha.

[@miggylachica7601]

If I had to choose I would get fizik Infinitos or shimano xphyre I think is what it’s called

[@groef]

Shame the Specialiazed limited edition aluminum race bike was not weighed.

[@scottheitmanmarinesurvey3557]

its about time this one washes his paws. but if i'm honest I spose my favorite bit of kit, being its winter here and summer there, is those grubby little hands

[@robinhawes8843]

Jon should say 'grubby hands'/'grubby little hands' even more because that's what the people want!

[@michaelhorner4011]

I don't have a favorite bit'o'kit.....I call a helmet a helmet......shoes.....shoes.....shorts.....shorts :)

[@Graptos]

Need to do a bio will you are done there on Inze Bont, great skate maker before they added cycling shoes to their line.

[@charliewhiskey8440]

How do you figure out your legs are 3mm difference in length?

[@rossontinternet]

Charlie Whiskey he was walking round in massive circles a lot 😂........I thought the same too 🤔

[@craighoover1495]

You can look at the wear pattern on your street shoes. Your longer leg will wear the heel down faster than the other leg. I only just adjusted my cleat to account for the difference after a Retul bike fit and suffering pain in my right thigh every ride for months. Now both of them hurt. Normal.

[@YelCan]

You get them measured. If you don't think it's something you need, it's prob. not worth knowing. If you are worried, pay for a good fitting. The test is easy (but not fool-proof): sit with your hips even, legs extended, and the fitter will gently yank each leg and then measure the difference in the leg length at the bottom of the heel. Check a couple times during each fitting. Repeat after a few days until you get nearly identical results.

[@samuellambert8919]

durianrider videobombed this one. haha troll on his neon green shoes. wasnt intensionally though

[@monty2078]

Helmets not using MIPS?

[@k4ndLberT]

i think MIPS is too heavy for lightweight helmets...

[@monty2078]

@@k4ndLberT hi, 25 grams doesn't seem like much for the extra protection

[@2darkdragon]

v nice of specialized to do that

[@monrezee]

Lachlan Morton is Bad Ass

[@foureyes91dn]

Helmets and shoes ... shows a bike

[@szabiakanich]

No Adam Hansen ultra mega super light self made shoes this time around? 😉

[@webbo73]

theres a whole video just for that kzbin.info/www/bejne/a36anKV8rJqHjrM

[@rappide]

that lad from EF Education is new Tyler Phinney :)

[@pillwolak]

Grubby lil hands

[@Grunge_Cycling]

Lacky was like "Yea right. I'll stab you for these shoes."

[@bjornerikkleiven9172]

lachlans a ride

[@jirdesteva]

@ GCN Tech Jon I have flat and WIDE flipper feet. Who out there makes road shoes for wide feet? I can't be the only one?

[@galenkehler]

Lake and Bont. I just got a set of lake wide for my flippers and they are great

[@janusz0]

Cough, Sidi?

[@galenkehler]

@@janusz0 Sidi are wide front and back, unsuitable.

[@kikoy08]

Trek wields their aluminum better than specialized

[@Agent-vj3ns]

You can't even see the welds on my emonda alr. Basically weightless too

[@sallom432]

Mavic's comete ultimate II anyone?

[@jimmyhor78]

That POC helmet doesn't look aero at all.

[@Fe_Ho]

grubby hands as always ;-)

[@brianchambers7772]

The Specialized budgie colours are nice, but the story is garbage. Budgerigars are a desert species and haven't been impacted by any of the major bushfires in Aus. Good to see then supporting a wildlife rehab group though

[@edheljoydiego5338]

Hi I'm a fan and a cyclist from the Philippines I'm not really strong at cycling but I'm passionate about it the only thing is I lack equipment I commented here hoping that you could sponsor me with a cleats shoes/cycling shoes I'd be really grateful if you do😊

[@stepforward1605]

Me too, me too

[@bike_rider-k2h]

Good luck. However you are extremely unlikely to gain a sponsor this way.

[@tuffytoys9707]

Can't afford none of that stuff so i just skipped through the video. I would like to see some more stuff like shoes, helmets etc aimed at the budjet/Beginner for casual and maybe a bit of trail or Xc riding.

[@stepforward1605]

Yeah, but this is a pro tour tech video

[@antoniop1968]

Carbon fibre helmet. $500?

[@chanito_nyc]

Jon please wear protection for those grubby little hands

[@janusz0]

Ughh! That Specialized looks super nice until you look at the welds. It looks like a GPO sweated cable joint. Eat humble pie Specialized and ask Cannondale, nicely, how to make them neat.

[@JayMerchantPhD]

Why do all these riders sound completely stoned?

[@Pienimusta]

I hope the melting point is above 60 degrees

[@fatcat1840]

I just wish u would put on a pair gloves b4 touching all those brand new and freshly polished equipments with ur grubby little hands.

[@champ2237]

is the EF guy stoned?

[@philippendiaye1538]

Fiiirst :D
