The Hottest New Tech At Eurobike 2024!

[@gcntech]

What's your highlight from our first Eurobike video? 😍

[@superyamagucci]

Cadex ladie's shopping bike.

[@JamesSmith-qs4hx]

I could pump my tyres up to 80 psi in less than 50 seconds with my Aldi mini pump.....🤨

[@alexeydanilchenko434]

Topeak pump is nothing new, Cycplus has a better and smaller pump with pressure gauges and set-and-forget approach and Fumpa was making those small pumps for years.

[@gustavmeyrink_2.0]

Certainly NOT the bottle opener. Being German I do not need a dedicated opener to open a bottle, pretty much any tool will do or a lighter or anything strong enough with a 90deg corner. OK may be in my old age if I'm plagued with arthritis.

[@staff0flag]

WBR deserves tonnes more press. We ride for fun, but the bike is an essential tool in many parts of the world. Getting to school, to work, to the doctor, or the market. What a beautiful bike on display there.

[@alexseguin5245]

Speaking like it isn't essential absolutely everywhere lmao. I live in Montréal and bikes are taking up more and more space every year as an efficient every day utility vehicle.

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

If you go to my home, Copenhagen, I suppose you will be amazed even by the parking areas filled with bikes, and the amount of people using bikes in town at all times! An American Ambassador to Denmark: Carla Sands, during Trump🙄, claimed it was because "Danes couldn't afford to buy a car" (She wasn't thanked, when she left!)! Finn. Denmark

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

We also use proper Bike passes in each side of the road, not just a painted stripe, but a separate pass! And at places we use special traffic lights for bikes, being able to start before the cars, to show we are here, if intending to turn right! Finn. Denmark

[@gcntech]

Riding for fun is where it's at 🙌

[@staff0flag]

@@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188 Yes, I know. It's one of many things I love about Danish - and Dutch - culture. I spent my first professional life working for a Dutch Anglo company. The WBR reaches the community of my second profession, based in South East Asia. In Cambodia, for example, the bike is everything to a family. It's not uncommon to see a fifty-year-old bike still in working order and serving the many needs of its owner. African nations, I am told, are the same. The WBR provides bikes to developing countries and it truly makes a difference. I meant you no disrespect.

[@rtz549]

[@kipcc3918]

I love the cheekiness of Park tool. 🤣🤣 from the pizza cutter, to the spork, to the bottle opener. 😅😅 But that chaintool is what every home mechanic should have, I bent my park chaintool pin pusher early on in it’s life and it’s taken me a while to track it down in bikeshops. 😤 I know you can order it in amazon but, I’d still love the prospect of going around bike shops to look for the smallest and weird things they have in their storefront. 😅😅

[@gcntech]

Great to hear your are supporting local bike shops 🙌

[@MdBoj-n2v]

They make tools that work forever, not express, open, and throw away tools

[@oeliku3033]

change my mind: no one cares about the next 5000€ carbon frame anymore. they all look the same and there is no real innovation in that field. At this point they maxed out the weight gain and the only things that change are slight trade offs between aerodynamics and weight. and aston martin putting their sticker on the frame doesnt change that in the slightest

[@mihneaiancu8753]

weave design,frame design,shape etc. When you will ride a carbon frame you will understand all the hype

For the bikebackers, hope you will touch on Pinion/belt drive bikes. Ease of maintence and dependable. When bikebaking all your gear, the extra weight of the gear box is worth it

[@pflichtprogramm1]

The bulls bike that you picked is unexpected - but not for the technical reasons you might have in mind: This brand, which is understandably not known outside of Germany, is a private brand of the ZEG: The ZEG, also only active in Germany, is an organisation initiated by small retailers to allow for larger market power, so as to reduce prices for purchasing supply parts, materials etc. At several points, ZEG launched their own bike brands which would usually be characterised by offering reliable mid-range bikes for middleclass consumers. Examples are Pegasus or abovementioned Bulls. Strikingly, Bulls seem to want to present upperclass / concept bike stuff now :D I would have never expected that, thanks for showing!

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

ZEG dealers are usually not small.

[@pflichtprogramm1]

@@einundsiebenziger5488 well, compared to discounters and online-shops they are.

[@BTcycle]

Very cool design with Pro's aero handlebars and saddle.

That cadex bike looks so good. I wish I could a bike with that colour scheme at home

[@JonCannings]

Who remembers the Zipp Tangente tyres with dimples for aerodynamics?!

[@gazelleonwheels]

Seth from Berm Peak did a great video on the Buffalo bike and why it’s designed the way it is. It’s a great watch and gives you a great perspective.

[@BananaBikeWax]

Nice to See GCN @ Alex at EB 2024

[@charlesblithfield6182]

Those aero tires remind me of some aero testing that found some knobby mountain bike tires more efficient than some popular gravel tires. Who’d have thought years ago a fat knobby low pressure tire as the racers choice today?

[@jmatulis92]

Do you remember which ones? And what about rolling resistance?

​@@jmatulis92look at Dylan Johnson's bike explaination for Unbound

[@5ch4cht3l7]

@@jmatulis92 I think he is talking about this years prep video for unbound from dylan johnson

[@richeeg3271]

Yup, also though of that one. But I have some extra thoughts as to why the conti 2.2 was faster then the other tyres. Being designed for mountain bikes with rim widths of 25-30mm, when mounted on a 21mm internal width rim Dylan used, they are narrower, but TALLER then they would've been otherwise. That probably means a more streamline shape, compared to the gravel tires which probably poke out much more sideways, rather than higher on the rim.

[@gcntech]

It's so cool how the tech world changes 🙌

[@kenh6096]

Every year I just appreciate older bikes more and more. Forget your integrated everything, your fancy styling, your electric this or electric that. I just want something that works well and is easy to maintain.

[@ThePeter123a]

Vortex generators have been used for some time to improve the efficiency of wind turbine rotors. Now we're starting to do this with the continental front tires too.

[@gcntech]

Is this the future of bike tech?

[@matthiasschmitt2311]

Bulls is a Brand from germany which every experienced cyclist would never buy. I work as a salesmen at a bike shop and even when I got an offer for an ultraight roadbike with DA DI2 with DT Swiss Wheels and all Carbon frame for a bargain I decided to buy it and strip the frame, keep the parts and sell the framee afterwards. I rather sell our Scott and Cannondale bikes then the Bulls. Bulls bikes are cheap crap which are desgnied in a way to absolute maximize the profit of the company. But not for the good of the costumers, just for the companys. For example: their entry level gravel bikes come with traditional quick release axles, not with thru axles. On a disc brake bike. So no way to upgrade to better wheels afterwards. On the other hand Scott is selling every single gravel bike with thru axles and every standard we have in the industry. Bulls allways puts nice parts on the bikes where potential costumers can see it. But on spots where it is hidden they cheap out.

[@feedbackzaloop]

Replace Bulls with Cannondale and vice versa and it will make more sense.

[@matthiasschmitt2311]

@@feedbackzaloop It is not so. I sell both brands and rode them a lot and Cannondale is much better.

bring back soulful steel bikes that last forever

[@kaffenoizen]

10:49 My mom had that exact gear system (2 gears and you brake to change gear) on her old (1980ish) Crescent lady bike. Not 2 chains tho, just 1 chain and 1 gear at the front and 1 gear at the back. Changing gear i believe was made inside the backwheels hub.

[@rubenelstner3659]

I saw some really cool tech at a booth called Desiknio, they somehow hacked the TRP levers to adjust the motor of a Mahle X20 and turn on and off the light of the bike. Its a cool gravel e-bike.

[@TESTA-CC]

Some Cool Products On Show 🖖

[@gcntech]

You can always rely on Eurobike for cool tech 🙌

[@rudolphpyatt4833]

The dual chain two-speed strikes me as an overly complicated design for a problem that was solved long ago: The old Bendix two-speed kickback IGH. Sturmey-Archer has been offering modern versions of this for years and still does, in both freewheel and coaster brake versions (the S2 and S2C).

[@peteralexander6514]

Sturmey-Archer is not what I'd call cheap or reliable.

[@rgudden90]

You can also get a Shimano Nexus 3-speed internal gear hub for like 40 euros, why would you get a setup that has double the wear?

[@feedbackzaloop]

@@rgudden90 I believe Buffalo are getting their double chain setup under a tenner. And wear you mentioned is not doubled, but devided between two chains because it is still only one chain under tension.

[@rudolphpyatt4833]

@@peteralexander6514 I have two bikes with the S-A SRF-3 hub. They have been completely reliable for more than a decade. While it’s true that later UK produced hubs were questionable due to worn out tooling, modern Sturmey-Archer hubs are great.

[@Bikey_McBeardface]

I imagine given the purpose of the Buffalo bike that more than just cost at point of manufacture was considered., like parts that don't need high precision/complex tooling and can either be stamped out of sheet metal at high volume or be replicated on a pre-war lathe in a tin shack in the back of beyond.

Bike Bling at its best! but at what prices ???

[@jonasvieth]

A 10mm spanner is probably more for 6mm, sometimes 8mm screws 😉 Hard to find on a bike anyway 😬

[@feedbackzaloop]

As per ISO 4014/4017, 8mm screws use 13 hex head and 6mm - yes - are 10mm. Usually come for mudguard mounts (onto fork crown, not legs)

[@jonasvieth]

@@feedbackzaloopthat must be one hell of a mudguard 😄 A single 6mm screw is capable of holding my car battery in place.

[@feedbackzaloop]

@@jonasvieth well, what actually holds the battery is its weight, the screwed on bracket only secures it. Also when this screw fails, you don't instantaneously become a skier like when a mudguard falls off and makes half rotation with the wheel (ask me how I know 😁)

The pump is still kinda useless. Too big to fit in the seat bag and if I can only use it at home, I might as well use a track pump.

Also the weight. What’s the point of a fast minipump anyway? If you happen to use it your race is definitely gone and you just try to finish. If it’s not in a race situation those seconds are irrelevant.

Why does that Giant Trinity have such a big gap between the aero seat tube and the rear tire? Was it designed for 32c tires or something?

[@AndrewisTri-tn1uo]

It's not really hard to work out is it? Anything on that bike, is the way it is, because it's more aero that way.

[@briankelly3568]

The idea is to put the seat stays behind the rider legs so air in between moves more freely.

[@estelja]

@@AndrewisTri-tn1uo The whole point of doing a curved, indented seat tube is to have the tire tuck in there and have a smooth air transition from the front of the tube, over the tire and down the rim.
