Decker Canyon - 6.2kg Disc Brake Bike

[@SAFABrian]

Your voice is soothing 👂

[@Pods619-t1d]

“I’m a bigger guy, around 152 lbs” 😂😂. Always joke that cycling is the only place where people call me “big” at 175 lbs. Awesome effort on this one. This climb is no joke, especially on a hot day.

[@abone2pick]

Also In running.

[@seanreilly6618]

Do a full video on that handlebar modification please! . You hit the nail right on the head, these one piece setups are way too wide and you never see companies making sizes below 40mm for some reason.

[@lemuelstaana5384]

I couldn't believe it when I got a notification that you uploaded a new video Drake. Great job and congratulations on the KOM!

[@logancooks]

All the best to you, missed your videos. Didn’t know about the injury. Hope healing and recovery is going well. Keep crushing!

[@cjchoi7953]

I really hope you enjoy your time in France, man. What a dream trip! I hope to go out there and ride myself someday soon on those famous roads.

[@tonygSDWR]

Great effort. Quite a recovery from your injury to be riding so well so soon.

Do Gibraltar in Santa Barbara gotta get sub 27:12

[@jakemerola]

Although not as monumental as say Flores or Decker, I think either Phil or Froome still hold the kom for Palisades drive - pch to the summit. ~4 miles @ 7% with the last 2 miles averaging almost 11%, it’s actually a lot more difficult than a lot of the neighboring climbs imo. I think that kom has held since 2018 or 2019 too, so I’ve been expecting to see your face pop up there for a while now. Any plans to give it a go?

[@DrakeDeuel]

Is this the segment? strava.app.link/YLJpPJ2dusb I hadn’t heard of it before, or ridden over there, but I see that Phil has it, so I’ll add it to the list.

[@gregnichols9363]

I leave for the Alps in one week, when do you plan to be there?

[@DrakeDeuel]

Leaving September 10th, so still a little while for me.

[@nlefloppa9013]

How much were the wheels if you don’t mind me asking?

[@DrakeDeuel]

“Only” $1700 quite the bargain compared to my other Cadex wheels which are $2k for just one

[@Stealthwealth1001]

The custom bars super sick! Who did the carbon work?

[@DrakeDeuel]

Len Lochmiller out of San Diego. Look him up on Facebook if you want, that’s how I got in touch with him

[@ippusor]

What saddle is that?

[@DrakeDeuel]

Specialized power Arc, pretty common one. I have a raw carbon saddle that I’m considering running for Mt. Washington that saves 60g

[@robertgreiner4703]

@ Drake: how tall are you man? Seems like a huge saddle to bar drop (which is actually not bad for climbing)

[@DrakeDeuel]

I’m ~71 inches/181cm The front end is slammed, so it’s a pretty aggressive drop but not crazy unusual I don’t think

[@robertgreiner4703]

@@DrakeDeuel Awesome Dude! Can you give me the exact model number of the IEI rims?

Mt Washington, as in North East LA Mt. Washington ?

[@abfutrell]

Has anyone thought to use a drone as a fan to stay cooler on climbs or as other aerodynamic assistance? I'm sure that'll be something to address as drone technology advances.

[@mikemelbrooks]

They used to say that the French TV helicopters would fly close behind Bernard Hinault to help push him along during time trials!

[@abfutrell]

@@mikemelbrooks O, interesting.

[@Eirikkinserdal]

what kind of pace do you run at? and surface? 🙂

[@DrakeDeuel]

I only run on dirt, dirt Mulholland if you’re local to LA. Usually just steady pace, like 7:20-7:40 average with like 1000ft of elevation gain.

[@justnoodlin1924]
