MSc Bijles Neil "women gripper " Tyson never mentions Density, Bouyancy, terminal velocity, and the most Important aspect of what we perceive as gravity : Inertia which actually explains what gravity is. It also explains that 2 different masses will not fall at the same time going higher into less density . This explains why 2 objects dropped from 35,000 feet will not hit the ground at the same time . The reason why it works from smaller drops is again Inertia has not reached Terminal velocity which is the point of equilibrium with Density and Bouyancy. Anyone who talks about gravity and does not mention the Density and Bouyancy aspect of what we feel as gravity should lose their teaching licence.

I've got a 2019 Venge (comes with 64mm rims), and I have to say that it handles crosswinds very well. The strongest crosswind I've ridden in was around 8 m/s coming in at a 45-60 degree angle and although it was a bit twitchy at times, I always felt like I was fully in control. I previously had a 2018 Roubaix (32mm rims), and strangely enough it was a lot more sensitive to crosswinds. I didn't enjoy windy days before, but with the Venge I don't care anymore. It's fun to ride in any conditions.

I've had a few close calls with "deep" section wheels in winds. Being a light rider I often get twitches when riding in high winds, although I do like the weird feeling of having to counterbalance the bike in a strong crosswind. When I'm in a big bunch and the wind pics up I often sit at the back as I do not want to risk anything or anyone's safety. I also learned the hard way when riding on a windy day when I was riding on a road that was sheltered by long hedges. I had my hands off the bars getting something from my back pocket, there was a gate to a field where there was a gap in the hedges, where there must have been a channel of air, the wind must have been strong enough to catch my front wheel and bring me down to the ground. I was ok but did wrek my bar tape and my shifter.

@tomkunich76545 жыл бұрын
Not only do I have the feeling that I'm riding into a head wind both ways but frequently in the area I ride, I do. Headwind going over the hill in the morning and then near noon riding the other way you can tell you're going to have another headwind because the steeper road on the way back blocks the wind and you don't get it until the top. But then instead of getting a nice 25 mph ride down the other side the headwind sometimes limits you to as little as 18 mph. I've finally learned to pay no attention since after I get back into town I get to turn broadside to the wind. When I get to within a mile or two of home I'm generally pretty shot and end up as slow as 12. Old age isn't for sissies and at 74 I suppose I qualify both as old and as a sissy. But it's coming for you guys too. One minute you're in the prime of your life and the next thing you know you're riding slow. But the way I see it is, I may be old but at least I'm slow. That beats the hell out of stopped.

It can be mildly twitchy, and a bit catchy when you pass gates/breaks in hedges etc, but it's never particularly bothered me. The only time I've ever had issues are when I got a bit too close to the back of a lorry and got caught in the turbulent wake, the vortex shedding makes the front wheel shake from side to side quite dramatically!

Ha ha let Ollie loose on the Science! Definitely is much more of his forte. A good video to have seen but when you live in Central Scotland where now having a roaring South Westerly wind is a bit a rarity and having ridden in conditions where the wind is gusting to 40-60mph (60-100kph) then you are a little more concerned about when and even if you get the chance to run something a bit deeper since you can get blown around in the wind just on a standard box section rim! Think that the most I would go for is around 50mm but that is probably gonna be more for super calm flat days, otherwise a 35mm rim depth is a good all round wheel which is a bit more comfortable. Would be interested to know what difference deep section wheels make for a cyclocross race since they can be run in some rather nasty conditions but you see a good amount of deep sections being used there...

@bradcomis10665 жыл бұрын
More weight will be less reactive in a cross wind as the force the wind is "steering" your front wheel with will have to push against more mass. If the rider is taller then its likely that the steering effect of the wind will "feel" slower due to longer distance between the rider's mass and the bike (longer moment arm). If your feeling a lot of twitchiness at the bars you could increase the amount of leverage you have over your steering by using a longer stem or wider bars. Working on your balance, core strength and upper body strength would help too. Another thing you could try would be to lower your front tire pressure to create more pneumatic trail and slow down your steering. If your running 25mm tires and you don't smash potholes you could easily get away with 70psi (the 15% drop method recommends 60psi front for your weight and 45/55 weight distribution).
@jason200912 Жыл бұрын
Research suggests that it's the front deep rims that are far more likely to gust away the bike and not the rear disc wheel. So basically if you use regular thin rims on the front, you're going to have about the same control. It's the deep section front that reduces the handle, not the rear disc.

In my opinion deep section wheels are only for those who race at amature or top level. If you are a cyclist who enters a few sportives each year you do not need to waste money on deep section carbon wheels. They might look good but will do nothing for you if you are unable to reach the speeds to where they perform best. I have the cheapest shimano wheels ( Shimano R500's) on my cervelo S2 for the past 10 years. They are still as true as the day I purchased the bike and the freehub bearings are perfect. I have done 30,000kms on them and have no issues keeping up with lads using aero wheels in sportives. I cycle at around average speed of 28km to 34km per hour over 100km. Save your cash for something else.

Hi.I live in Italy.Most of my riding is along the Tirreno sea.I ride a Tri bike with deep dish wheels.60 front 88 at the rear.Along the sea,it is windy all the time.But, with the round ship wheels, it is a little more challenging with gusting side winds over 30km per hour With the V shape it is hell.So,if you buy any type ,buy only round shape design.

Consistent cross wind ok (up to a point where not safe due to speed of wind) generally ok as you can lean in or use point of elbows. I think blustery, non-predictable wind and also mountains with bends more chall3nging. Observing road surface before bend looking eg for leaf-movement etc can help. Again, pointing elbows seems to lessen sudden wind impact. Steve Allen

Do only deep carbon wheels make those cool swooshing noise?

Ollie, I like ya, but, as a pilot myself, the plane doesn’t just fall out of the sky when you stall it. Other than that 1 cringeworthy comment, good video. 🤘

It does if you don’t do the recovery properly

My old 2008-2009 100mm Blackwell Research tubulars make a pretty substantial swooshing sound and stall like you wouldn’t believe in any type of wind lol 👍 🚴

I do and I live in a heavily crosswind area. Just hang on to the bars a little tighter

If you can't afford the carbon bling and are stuck on alloy then I'd recommend Campag. Scirocco rims - 35mm depth compared with 25-30mm for most other alloy rims and well made too.
