[@MikeKramer-x3c]

Re speed wobble: A speed wobble is normally caused by excessive stability - so as the wheel deflects a small amount, say to the left, the bike steering geometry (mainly rake and trail) pulls the wheel back to straight - in this case to the right. If the corrective force is too strong, the wheel overshoots and it passes past centre to the right. If the deflection response is more than the initial deflection the steering will go into this increasingly vilont movement. In your case it seems that the response was not that strong. Normally the damping of the tyre and riders hands would stop this, but as you had your hands off there was no damping applied by your hands. So what changed ? The rim diameter is fixed at 622 mm but the wider front rim on the 6 wheels (wider front than rear) could have something to do with it. If the wheel radius changed the trail would change which could affect the stability. There was an article from about 1978 (that I have a copy of somewhere) that determined that the stability co-efficient of a bicycle should be between, if I remember correctly, 2 and 4. Used it when I was building fully streamlined recumbents in the 1980's and 1990's. Unfortunately there is not much that you can do about it as the bike geometry is fixed. You might try playing with the tyre pressure or try fitting a size thinner tyre. Also might try a wider rear tyre. as differential tyre sizes do affect the steering response. I recently changed from a 23 front and 25 rear on my old but fast aero bike to 25 and 25 and it did have a (slight but noticeable) negative effect on how it responded.. My other bike runs 28 and 30 wide tyres and also steers well.

[@_gregvalencia]

One thing to note is that his wheelset has the same internal/external dimensions. 24mm internal and 31.5mm external (according to their website). Chris has the 50|58 set. The 45|50 is the set with the super wide 28mm internal in the front and then narrower in the rear. Do you think it would be spoke tension like Chris hypothesized that would cause the wheel to be over responsive?

[@MikeKramer-x3c]

​@@_gregvalencia I was looking at what had changed - which was the wheels but did think it was the 45/50 ones. Given that these No 6 rims are equal width and therefore the tyre geometry would be about the same as on the other wheels, my theory can't be right. But the No 6 wheels have carbon spokes and the other wheels presumably had steel spokes and we know that carbon spokes are more rigid than steel. We also know the No 6 wheels are lighter. The reduced mass and increased stiffness would change the natural frequency of the wheels (in the steering rotation direction). If the natural frequency of the wheel (mass/stiffness) is close to the natural frequency of the steering system (rake & trail and tyre response) you would get an amplification of the response which could well be the reason for the speed wobble.

[@rayF4rio]

My first thought was the orientation of the bladed spokes in relation to the relative wind. At high rotational. Speeds, if the spokes are wide enough, they might create lateral force, and if not all spokes are oriented exactly the same, that may lead to oscillations. I know wheel builders check spoke orientation, but they are never all at the exact same tolerance. The carbon spokes are getting much wider that ever before in relation to the weight of these wheels.

[@joachimlyth509]

On the wheel wobble. Looking forward to your further investigation on the reasons and solutions. I was just about to order a set of No6 4050 with the ultra wide front...😢

[@jubeman]

could also check the balance of the wheel. I resolved by wheel wobble by finding the low spot (the point the wheel always stops at, at the bottom), stuck a golf club weight on the rim on the opposite side, then there was no low spot, wheel balance fixed. eg the same as when they put a counter weight on your car wheels when you get new tyres. given my wobble was at 70+ kmh hands on the bars.

27.2 seatposts fanboy here 👋🏼 I’m still stuck on rim brakes but wanting to make the jump (finally) to Disc. For me though the one hard must a frame must have is a 27.2 seatpost with a traditional collar. They just work. Are less prone to slippage and if I strip the collar by accident it’s a simple fix. How many watts would I be losing over an aero post? Don’t care. I’m averaging 28-30kph/hr on most rides - it makes stuff all difference to me. And you’re bang on about it not being my price point

[@chrishophoto]

Questioning whether or not Pogi will ride this bike is silly. He might use the V4rs for some climbing stage, but otherwise this will be his main bike. It will suit his style of absurd solo breakaways from a million miles out, and the rest of the peloton will be terrified! As an owner of seven Colnago road bikes, Colnago did everything right with this one!

[@tommyfreckmann6857]

Which Colnago is your favorite?

[@michaelmechex]

It's an absolute go to for one day races. But for a typical TdF stage, where he's shielded from the wind behind his teammates until everyone has blown up, and then throws down an impossible attack on a terribly steep climb just before a summit finish? The V4RS could be better for that.

[@chrishophoto]

@@tommyfreckmann6857 out of the Colnagos, the one I ride the most is Davide Formolo’s primary race bike that he used in 2022 (a V3rs). I rarely race that one though because of its historical collectibility and I’d be really bummed out if I lost it in a pileup. I have 4 C40s as well, one of which was custom built in 2002 for Dario Cioni who was on Team Mapei. The Colnago I actually race the most is a C64, but it’s probably the bike I care for the least. I bought it as a repaired frame for a really good price, so if it gets destroyed again, I won’t be heartbroken about it. The bike on my trainer is a 2010 Colnago EPS.

[@tommyfreckmann6857]

@chrishophoto that's a good insight. How do the C40s compare? C40 is my favorite Colnago I have owned. It's definitely not the stiffest, but I just love the legacy behind it. And mine is modernized and literally no slower than my other modern race bikes.

[@chrishophoto]

@@tommyfreckmann6857 I own the C40s primarily as collectible legacy art pieces at this point. Two of them are mk2s and the other two are mk3s. The Mk3 is noticeably stiffer at the back end, but all suffer from a lack of tire clearance, which is understandable given when they were produced. The Star forks with 1” steerer tubes also flex an awful lot when compared to modern bikes. Still if nothing else they are beautiful pieces of art, and I never tire of looking at them and taking them out for occasional rides on nice sunny days.

[@emanuelr.1341]

@Chris Miller the No.6 wheels could also not be balanced. With the valve making the wheel unbalanced. Similar to a wheel on a car you would need to balance it by sticking some led in the rim on the opposite of the valve. With wheel going sub 1300g this is apparently a thing to consider.

[@gregmorrison7320]

Watch again, he said the wheels were balanced.

[@utube7930]

Could be any number of factors. Apparently one of the top factors on reducing speed wobble is simply increasing front tire pressure

[@achedrien5477]

About speed wobble, I had a similar issue with a sl8 and roval rapide clx 1. The bike came with turbo conti tire in 26mm. I have changed the wheels to the crw 50 60 with 30mm conti gp and the wobbling completely disappeared. Then the seatpost was too flexible (not related to wobble), so I have bought the darimo and have asked for the reinforced one despite not being overweight. Today coming back to the rapide cl1 with 30mm tir, the wobbling is no more there. The speed wobble come from a resonance of the complete bike system, so to solve it, you have to change element to a more flexible or a more rigid one. This is not necessarily carbon spoke. I guess one should change in order of cheap to expansive: - the tire - the seatpost - the wheel - the frame

[@davidlilja9180]

The cause of speed wobblin', ..."That depends!" 🤣

[@9psi]

In the early 2000s there was a whole bunch of study into speed wobbles. The conclusion seemed to be that it’s a combination of frame, wheel and rider weight and position. And good luck

The drilling on the tubes for pressure sensors is common in motorsports. F1 cars run aero rakes around their cars in practice sessions all the time. CFD works, this method helps to validate it.

[@johnnywangcycles6410]

I reckon your problem is the tyres are too narrow for those rims, I’ve had exactly the same issue running carbon bontrager wheels with 25mm internal rim width and 28mm tyres, in the spec sheet trek rate 32mm as the smallest tyres for those rims. I’ve gone back to 32mm and issues have all gone. The bike is a Domane. I think this is the problem to you instability. I asked around everywhere and no one else, even mechanics said it’s the first they’ve heard of it. Hope this helps. It’s scary as hell, I had full death wobbles descending the Toowoomba range ride 😳

Great to get a shout out with the other six people that watch on the big TV with my kid on the couch.

[@timtaylor9590]

Speed wobble is caused from vibrations that come from a combination of the entire system. You can try balancing the wheels, but it can happen to any bike, but you may have a bad combination of gear. Dampening the system will help but that will add weight and how can you dampen a frame, wheel, and forks if not internally would look weird

[@johnnycab8986]

Remove sealant, clean and refill and see what happens.

[@redkeyspoke]

I'm pretty sure it has to do with the rider inputs, a similar wobble occurs when beginning slacklining, applying a death grip to the handlebars or otherwise fighting it makes it worse. Regarding dampening, that's a proposed benefit of roller bearing headsets, aside from the longevity they introduce a bit of friction.

[@jubeman]

counter weight on the rim... use a golf club magnet

[@ryan_coleman]

Excellent show. So many great topics 👏🏼

[@ChrisMillerCycling]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cbbssn512]

Great show again! Re: wheel wobble. I think it’s more to do with the tire being slightly too narrow and rotational weight of the wheel changing with the new wheel in combination with the bike geometry, stack height, etc of the front end of the bike. The tire on your other rims may have been dampening the chatter. I notice this more on older road bikes and the slacker head tube angles combined with a shorter stem when slammed- especially on XC MTBs with negative rise stems- the wheel can start to chatter- mainly due to trail. So the different wheel and its mass could have change the forces at play just a bit to mess with your handling. Easiest fixes would 1) be change the front tire for something wider to increase dampening, 2) increase the stem length, increasing leverage, 3) increase stack height with a spacer, moving the leverage arm further from the bearing, or pivot, of the headset… Might also be a good time too brush up on Chapter 8, Steering, Balance, and Stability, of Bicycle Science 4th ed. by Wilson & Schmidt.

[@cbbssn512]

[@piltrid1]

Chris, I perfectly understand what you mean when when saying the new Colnago bars will give a great view of the front tyre. I thought I was being silly when I went from a mini computer to a regular sized one and was a bit bummed that it blocked more of the front tyre/road making it feel less "floating" whilst riding. Glad I'm not the only one.

[@jameswillett118]

Chris’ biceps are popping boi

[@cbabin682]

You can also get some speed wobble if the wheel is not properly balanced and you had a perfect resonance at the speed you were riding (critical speed).... There was also a scary wobble of Guillaume Martin in the Tour this year in a mountain downhill, intense ^^

The enve 4.5 have a 25mm internal width. With the new standards you cannot use 28s on a 25. You need at least 29. That said the aero 111 comes in 29 likely for this reason so a test with 28s would kind of be a bad comparison.

I think Pogis bike was never 6.8kg on the dot. They weighted his bike on this years tour ad it was something around 7.2kg all spec out, so this new one is just about 200g heavier. PS: That wheel woblbe issue is definitely balancing issue, no carbon wheel is balanced and maybe that wheel being so light making that problem worse. I had same problem with my current wheels I just bought myself some golf club weights and stuck them under the rim tape. GPlama have some good video on wheel balancing, you only need to do that on front wheel.

[@nationsnumber1chump]

if you've ever ridden a tri-spoke wheel on a really deep frame/fork design you may notice that wobble some so my guess is the frame combined with the carbon spokes is allowing too much air to dissipate on either side of the frame. Mix that with the wider tire. My guess is that the downtube wheel cutout wasn't designed around a 30mil tire. Is it wider than the frame profile?

I have exactly the same issue on my S5 with the latest EVO S 50mm wheelset. The problem is the geometry of the bike. This is why the pro's are using smaller frames with 120/130mm stems

[@davidlilja9180]

After moving to 140 stems, I asked Cervelo about how long was Ok. They told me nothing above 130 would keep their warranties intact. Dammit.

[@D_H_88_99]

I've got an S5, winspace 65mm wheelset, and also get head wobbles above 55kmph, usually while descending

[@discbrakefan]

Short stem? Narrow bars?

[@D_H_88_99]

@discbrakefan this was with 100mm stem, 380mm bars. I've gone to 140mm stem and kept the 380mm bars, raised the head with 2x spacers. It's settled it up quite a lot, but still not perfect at very high speed.

Next year, I'm gonna count how many times a new Colnago lost the sprint finish :D To prove that bike is ~ 1% of success )) Pog can win on the 2020 Colnago frame pretty much any race.

[@gregmorrison7320]

Those bars don't look like sprinters bars, Cervelo does them better, not for aero but for sprinting.

[@8rk]

38:00 Chris.. Absolute spot on. (S-works rider here) When SL9 or new Venge rolls along in 2026, I'll have a pretty tough choice to make 🤣

[@keatonhanson]

If the bike was ready this time last year why are they not on production bikes yet? Why is the computer mount still a proto?

[@AdamGross-j6d]

An obvious potential culprit for wheel wobble would be unequal tension on the spokes. Can you test spoke tension with those carbon spokes? I've experienced it. And in my case, I actually had a spoke completely unwind itself. It was barely hanging in. So the wheel was stiffer on one side than the other. However, it was a kind of bump/wobble feeling. Like the front wheel was hitting a speed bump before shaking. Which sounds like it's different than what you had. I would also check the steering assembly. That everything is nice and tightened down. That's got nothing to do with the wheels - it may just be coincidence that the pre-load bolt loosened around the same time these new wheels went onto your bike.

TDU prep starts here, lesgooo

[@LucasHynar]

Yeah a small imbalance (couple grams) in the wheel and the rotational forces will magnify this at increased speed. But even a slight imbalance in the airflow passing the wheels could cause oscillating forces on the front. This then creates a resonant wobble at the front end. I have seen this on a friends bike that happens even when he is holding the handlebars. I have ridden bikes where it happens above a certain speed once I take my hands off. Tricky to fix as it is a combination of the frame and wheel setup as a whole. Looks like you might need a whole new bike ;)

[@petermac99]

23:06 Chris might want to check where the battery location is in his S5 when using Shimano😉. This is absolutely the norm for anything with a cutaway in the seat tube. It’s not influencing Shimano vs SRAM use.

[@robertwhyte3435]

I bet those wheels aren't going to be a problem on any other frame.

[@rostuchicken]

I’ve had those speed wobbles before and they are terrifying.

[@davidlilja9180]

They are even more terrifying when it happens with your hands still on the handlebars, though!

[@rostuchicken]

@@davidlilja9180 no thank you.

[@WillFieldLondon]

I’m surprised no one pointed out, handlebars are clearly the TP logo as it is also printed on frame.

[@greghart6310]

I'm sure Colnago will offer many different seat mast sizes to ease bike fit. I like the design - yay for difference and innovation - looks frikkin awesome! As for the 'when we, rim brake' types - LOOOOOOOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidlilja9180]

Your 2nd part lost you a thumbs up. So having 4 rimbrake Cervelos, inc an RCA makes me a loser? Toser! 🤫

[@Pmor75]

Was there any change in the Shimano sponsorship arrangement with UAE team? Maybe Pogi will have it's special components on it...

[@lbanezjs1000]

is the wheel dished properly?

[@AlexPeka]

I welcome Colnago becoming competitive again, 2 deal breakers for me. I'm guessing no aerobar clip on option? And I just can't get behind the brand itself. The word along the downtube, It just doesn't resonate with me currently..maybe my mind will shift in time

[@davidlilja9180]

If only that downtube read "MalvernStar"! GreenEdge riding a reborn local product, I'd consider that.

[@alastairhamilton68]

A Wahoo ACE won't fit, I was there at the launch and tried... No. The team are using BOLT. But the bike is a thing of beauty. And it didn't sound like Pogačar will ride it.

[@troycollett8540]

He already has one

[@alastairhamilton68]

@@troycollett8540 Yes he has one, but at the team media day he wasn't that keen on it and in the interview he didn't see which races it would suit. I guess we will see.

[@Savaios]

Handsome Mans pls answer. Tarmac SL8 Ultegra/Force vs Reacto or OrcaAero on Red/DA?

[@taylarbikes8845]

I wonder how my 61cm Ridley Helium SLX disc compares in the wind tunnels 😂
