Gee the cameraman is nose breathing today! Go Jacob!

[@Harry-Sweeny]

Someone sign him

[@luciorivas4333]

We need a video on a Jacob training day.

[@jfreck]

[@hcanderson1]

Next time, run that camera in selfie mode. Let's see some Skinny P!

[@angrybeaver6562]

Impressed with your French! I'm moving to Nice in a month, looking forward to getting randomly dropped in climbs by pro cyclists

[@TheRaRa4944]

I use Durex rubbers exclusively 😄but on my training bike I have a set of Vittoria Rubino Pro IV Graphene 2.0 that I really love. Keep up the great work Harry, love your videos!

[@8rk]

An actually entertaining bike pro youtube channel! You are a rare breed!

[@SuphaireFX]

You are the only person I’ve turned on notifications for! Absolutely love your videos, keep up the great job Harry 🙌🏽

[@Harry-Sweeny]

Legend, glad you enjoy them 🤝

[@mattsammekull780]

Hey Harry! Really enjoying and appreciating your videos. It's great to get some insight to how you pro's live your life. I recently got myself a new set of Aeolus pro 5 and figured I treat myself with new latex tubes, and my new favorite rubber; Specialized Turbo cotton. Never tried tubeless, but would love to give it a go sometime. Cheers from Sweden, and have a great 2023!

[@OliverCrowhurst]

My favourite rubber is one that doesn't puncture every single ride! Great videos mate, keep it up

[@chuckfrizzell8668]

Hello Harry. Paris-Nice: it was exciting to see you on television (Peacock live streaming) this morning on the TTT. Best of luck to you and your team this season.

[@stephensmith7505]

After getting "The Snip" after child #3, rubber preference changed substantially. And let me tell you, my wife's waxing is second to none. Conti Gatorskins for bike-touring, and Conti 28"'s for the go-fast bike. You've made a strong case for tubeless...

[@brettneale]

My fave rubber is whatever stays road-side down! Thanks for the video mate, I gotta get into this chain waxing business.

[@ferarroyo8541]

Love that chain tip, thank you very much Harry

[@markouellette788]

Rene Herse has been my go to rubber for Gravel but Continental Grand Prix is a fav for road. Need to give the wax a try. Thanks for showing its simplicity.

[@fixedfrank]

I went tubeless all last season. No punctures! But when I changed out the worn out tire. I saw all the spots the sealant did its job. About 15 small beads a dried sealant plugs. These were Panaracer GK Slicks on my All-road bike!

[@SafeBeatzOfficial]

These videos are great Harry. All I can say is keep 'em coming!

[@WalrusRiderEntertainment]

I'm running 25mm GP5000s (old bike can only handle 25mm max) but I actually prefer the old GP4000s. They were more comfy.

[@xandermonteyne8548]

I got myself new vittoria corsa control and I haven't regretted it for a moment. So much grip in the corners and on the wet roads in Belgium!

[@Harry-Sweeny]

Hey mate, shoot me an email please! You can find my address under the contact section of my KZbin page

[@TheMagicCrayons]

Really enjoying your videos, thank you. Am trying to get in some kind of shape indoors to do some longer outdoor 100km during the summer. It's the little details you have about snacks and breakfast I'm finding most useful :-) Looking forward to the next one. Oh, my favourite rubber is by Mono as it does a great job of cleaning up my pencil. A pair of DT Swiss would be one awesome give away!

[@bogdanmancuso]

Love to watch your videos, so upfront and simple, no fancy editing. Cheers. I don't have a favorite tire, I run on Conti GP5000 28mm, not tubeless.

[@GregorBrown]

You could split this into 4 vids, each one would be a gem. Waxing Chain, Tubeless, etc. Good stuff Harry.

[@veikkoturunen8745]

Great video 👍🏻 waxed chains are awsome. I use GP5000 tires with latex tubes.

[@paulwilliams8588]

With me mate, rubber wise...26" Schwalbe marathon plus... Im full-time world tourer.. Bike weighs75kg.. These only tyres work on my rides! Your rides mate... The tyres your using good. Have good season Harry👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@bignormz]

Would love to know that lil wax stats thing ur using to know how much good wax Is left on the chain

[@cyclowax_support]

It's from Cyclowax 👌

[@jreitsma]

Waxing is definitely the way to go; everything stays so much cleaner. I've only ever rode GP5000s and their black chili compound has been great. I'd love to try the Corsas though.

[@DEXVD]

Favourite rubber, Specialized Turbo Cottons, swapped them out on my road race bike for a set of the new Michelin Power Cups they supposedly roll a little faster but don't feel as supple.

[@bddso6331]

Favourite rubber: GP5000s or the old faithful GP 4 seasons ☔️

[@peterdedes2460]

one of my favourite sets of tires is my vittoria pave open cg (27mm). fabulous tires. found a few NOS sets

[@carlnyman4903]

Favorite rubber has to be Durex, no? Never even had a close call. That's quality.

[@neotokyohead]

Schwalbe G-One Speeds were a favourite for a bit but currently enjoying Corsas. Want to try the Next next.

[@ozziebiker1975]

Love the new corsa n.ext, would love to try them on my new tubeless wheels… also, any rubber Jacob is holding is my favourite

[@hiitsmelilli]

Great stuff !! I ride the Pirelli Cinturato Velo TLR 28 mm and when its stop freezing in here in Denmark, i switch for the Pirelli P Zero Race TLR also the 28 mm version. But will love to try the Vittoria tubeless tires and compare them to the Pilrelli. Continue the good work !!

[@adrianyuen]

I've been on Michelin Power Road TLRs (700 x 25) since going to tubeless, but wouldn't mind trying some Vittorias! Cheers!

[@Siblove7]

Last winter I got myself some Zaffiro Pro 28mm as puncture resistant winter tyres, they were so comfy that they stayed on the bike all year around, only one flat 1,5 years later! But I wouldn't mind trying a pair of corsa to save some watts for my first organised Gran Fondo later this spring!

[@markgoveia6445]

Great video. Maybe I wi try chain waxing, as that looks pretty easy once you get the system set up. I have been mostly partial to Conti GP, but have used my fair share of Vitoria in my day.

[@adamkenstam4412]

my favourite rubber is probably durex;). On a serious note, Vittoria Corsas have always been kind to me, the cotton casing makes them easy to install as well

[@marcelsow5817]

Bought a used Team DSM Scott Addict RC Pro which came with Vittoria Corsa Next 28mm tires. Can't complain. Bike is in the shop right now to get a new waxed chain put on. I will do the ongoing maintenance myself but didn't want to mess with degreasing and all. What tire pressure did you run before you setup tubeless? First thing the guy at bike shop did was pump up the tires. I been running 78-80psi on my clinchers. I think they like to pump it up to 95psi.

[@cyclowax]

Good thing to go with a pre-waxed chain. 👍

[@hw646]

Great content mate. What’s is chain hanger you use? It looked like a bike stand or something.

[@sandysmith5269]

Running Vittoria Gator Skins dinosaur with tunes. Seeing howxeasyvyou installed the sealants well....

[@rickmorse3351]

Great Video! What brand of chain wax bath is that unit? Looks very simple and easy. thanks.

[@Harry-Sweeny]

It’s made by Cyclowax 👌

[@rickmorse3351]

@@Harry-Sweeny Thanks!!

[@diegomendes8470]

Nice

[@xiderg]

Pirelli's P-Zero tyres have served me well over the years, I'd be keen to finally put my tubeless ready wheels to use though! Great video as always, and your French is impressive :D

[@HigginsIam]

From a longevity stand point, Conti GP5000's in tubeless have been fantastic but I'm running Vittoria Corsa tubeless because I can get them on and off without levers and swearing.

[@stickymiky123]

Loving your vids. Have used Vittorio G2 for a few years now. Just swapped to Latex Tubes, Loving them even more

[@TotalJym444]

Great video guys. I wish my tubeless set up went so smoothly. I am running Panaracer AGILEST. They feel like Formular race tires compared to my previous tires. Happy riding.

[@c.d.j300]

Riding this bike in an M. rim brake. Thinking about going disc. Favorite tires are Hutchinson fusion 5 performance tubeless for speed, puncture protection and ease of tubeless setup.

[@montanajones8393]

I see what you did there...how to set up your bike like a pro but doesn't really give away the tire pressure. Always keep them coming back for more. Legend. My favorite rubber, don't know...still looking I guess.

[@juliancameron]

I’m currently running Vittoria Terreno Dry tires on my CX bike and loving them

[@Mrwitte95]

Have used continental and pirelli tires tubed and tubeless with good experiences but i would be keen to test out the new vittoria n.ext's. would be willing to give up tan sidewalls for them hahaha

[@williamberhow2560]

My favorite rubber is definitely the N.ext. Tried most others and these Vittorias by far the best.

[@gdnites]

Loved the Vittorias since years ago with me using the Rubino Pro 3. Am excited to have a pair of Corsas to ride with me all weekends!

[@davidhenderson4741]

My favourite tyre for the past while has been the Continental GP5000. Have used Vittoria Corsa Tyres in the past and would love to try the latest version out.

[@DennisGonzalez101]

Never tried Vittoria tires but I have their TPU tubes on both my road bikes and absolutely love them.

[@santiagobenites]

No tubes to pinch = bonus! Btw, my favorite Vittoria tire is the Corsa G2.0 clincher in a 28mm width. Thanks for the entertainment, Harry 😁

[@francescomancetti8327]

my favourite is the vitoria zaffiro pro home trainer rubber because it's the only rubber i have never punctured with

[@liamwarner-lee8930]

Im a brit/aussie and had to subscribe purely for the comment about brits leaving helmets on -it cracks me too - seems to be the rapha look

[@orlandohofer7776]

hey, harry I have got some Vittoria but they a getting to the stage or needing to be thrown out but i think they are really good tires and I would use them every day if I had a decent pair. thanks, Orlando

[@danbolton7288]

Loving these videos mate well done! Would love for you to do a video based on around your advice as a pro on how a reasonably inexperienced cyclist should start to build fitness, diet etc etc never going to be a pro but just a pros view of how we mere mortals can become better😊

[@Lennard17]

Love the videos! My favourite tyres would be some slicks on that early 2000’s Renault Clio Sport!

[@SD-ec5ge]

HUTCHINSON FUSION 5 ALL SEASON TLR for winter/spring, FUSION 5 Performance for summer. Cheers!

[@RaceAndRideMidwest]

Currently racing on 28 mm Vitoria corsa graphene 2.0s with tubolito tubes! Vittoria has my ❤

[@cyclingonplants7444]

Really enjoyed this video! Your french is great😍 now I'm curious about waxing chains. I was using Vredestein Fortezza Senso Superiore AW tires and now have Specialized Turbo pros on my new bike - they look a bit too slick for my liking though. I'm an aggressive descender so I'm told!LOL

[@dianam3288]

Favorite “rubber” lol😂 I prefer schwalbe pro ones tubeless set up 700x28. It’s also what’s compatible with my wheels. Great videos, keep them coming. What wax are you using for your chain and how many miles(km) can you ride it before changing it?

[@antboonen]

Nice vid Harry! Current rubber is the Conti 5000 x 28. Haven't tried the Vittoria Corsa's (yet)!!??

[@ЛёхаБукреев]

8:56 - could you please tell me what App is it? Can everyone also use it or it is special software for you?

[@cyclowax_support]

It's from Cyclowax 👌

[@charlesblaise3086]

Hello Harry ! Once again thanks for sharing your daily pro life :-) Please could you tell me the brand of the "wax machine" ? Charles

[@Verysimpleyetverydifficult]

Is that garmin connect that checks your chain usage? Can you do a video on that, please?

[@cyclowax_support]

It's from Cyclowax 👌No connection with Garmin Connect, just Strava.

[@sheldonwhite3506]

Another wicked video! Currently running Vittoria latex inner tubes with conti gp5000 tyres but keen to try out vittoria tyres 😬

[@richardstoner866]

Really enjoy your videos…..and those around France are so beautiful….Col de Braus is a head turner…..GP5000s…cheers…

[@HaldenVega]

I’ve only had GP5000’s so that what I like but thinking of giving Vittoria a try

[@philippepemonge3861]

j'ai fait l'inverse des Vittoria pour gp 5000 est rien à voir ! 10 fois meilleurs.

[@brendancardiff]

Favourite tire is the Vittoria Corsa TLR 28 for road, and the Vittoria Barzo for MTB

[@KiteWaldi]

My favorite rubber is no rubber at all but it doesn’t work so good for cycling 😅 I was using wax lube but wax bath seems to be much better option. Can you tell me what model is that bath cooker you are using? Cheers!

[@kiwisteve408]

Would you mind sharing info on the chain waxing setup, is that a homemade rig? or available to purchase as a kit? what wax product do you use? Oh, and my favorite tires are Vittoria Corsa Speed gumwall (-ish) with Vittoria latex tubes...

[@Matthew-ez4ze]

Ditch the tubeless junk! Tonight, on our fast group ride, the guy in front of me was squirting sealant every time he hit a bump. It was all over his seat tube, his bib shorts, and my kit and protective glasses. I'm already on Vittoria Corsa tires. Excellent tires.

[@pasitiikkaja3518]

My favourite tires are Vittoria corsa graphene 2.0 tubular. Still riding tubular :)

[@le43428]

I am using the schwalbe pro's great tires! Love the video

[@noeldult7107]

Favorite tires are Specialized Hell of the North, but Vittoria seems to Be a perfect option for my Flanders rides.

[@ohmydeer1761]

get these Shimano Quick Link Connector & Remover TL-CN10, makes chain switching even easier

[@mathieu6996]

I have been running Conti GP5000 without issues for a few seasons, but would love to try something new!

[@MarkBurghouwt]

Favorite rubber for me is the vittoria zaffiro. Haven't tried anything more high end jet, but thet blow the stock tires out of the water!

[@jholec]

I've been riding Vittoria Rubino Pro 3 for 2 seasons

[@aussiefreediver]

How often do you replace the quick link? I vaguely remember shimano saying they were single use only? Oh and conti 5000’s 28mm. Heard good things about vittoria’s though.

[@NarenHariOfficial]

Been using the conti GPs. Would love to try the corsa

[@grzegorzkrawczyk7310]

I allready coocked my brand new chain. Al dente is the best 🍝. Hope it will work as good as at videos. Greetings from Poland 🤙🤙

[@GaborKmetyko]

Fav rubber is - doesn't matter, happy to have a chance to use it :D Serious note: Vittoria Rubino Pro G2.0 for training and Corsa of course for racing.

[@felixkloss5667]

Favourite Rubber? The one and only Corsa Next's of course🥰

[@jasonwilliams7346]

Currently loving the GP5000 but I've wanted to try the NEXT!

[@andreasostvik]

Great video! Continental GP 5000 are my favourite tires, since they are fast, and they puncture less.

[@michaelsrealm9365]

Harry, I love the videos. With all the detritus on the roads around here, I have tried schwalbe pros, specialized gripton, and hutchison fusions. All have limited life. Haven't tried Vittoria, though. 😉

[@peterlockitt6771]

Continental Grandsport Race, just bought a 2nd hand Berria Belador so don’t know any different. A new set would be good for my Lands End to John O Groats at the end of May this year 👍👍 love the humour in your videos, keep it up 👍

[@diogofmonteiro]

Didn’t even know waxing was an alternative, always learning I guess. Haven’t tried enough different ones to have a favourite, send me those tires and I’ll write a full review!

[@supersayjimo1]

fav rubbers are Pirelli P-Zeros with Tan walls 26mm

[@nigelgittins]

Vitoria corsa is quality. Currently on conti GP5000. Would like to switch back though. Chain waxing kit should be the sub give away. Seems a lot would try it of they could.

[@klaunsonofthemorning]

these vids are so dope - wholesome and funny!

[@lincolntrevett9114]

Another cool look into what you get up to on the daily, keep up the good work! Ive tried GP4000 & 5000's, Schwable Durano's, Pirelli P Zero's but yet to try the Vittoria's, the LBS didnt have any in stock :( When I was commuting to work I loved the Schwable's for puncture resistance but yet to find a favourite tyre as such.

[@ehrenfull]

My favourite rubber currently is what I can find on sale haha! Got me some carbon wheels though so will go for one of the top model tube type clinchers.

[@brunomartin8887]

Victoria Corsa are the way to go , great insight into life as a pro cyclist on all your videos. Would live some new rubber to get me amped up to go slaying some tarmac . Ps , I do take my helmet off at the cafe stop.

[@jimjimplus]

Love the videos Harry, keep them coming!

[@rafaelmartins8029]

I love Vittoria Corsa N.ext! I wish that the roads in my city were better... So rresistance is definitely my priority

[@walkersutton]

i'd love to try some tubeless 28mm Vittoria training tires!

[@rayjohnson3617]

Great video Harry, well done. Waxing is far better for drivetrain longevity, and smooth and efficient running. I use Connex chains and you don't require a tool to change or replaceable link when you changeover the chain.

[@cyclowax_support]

We love the Connex chains!

[@rogermcintosh23]

Hey Harry - do many Pros race with tubeless? If not , why not? We are totally tubeless (Corsa Control) and waxed here at Bunya P.S garden is still looking good😀

[@mydearriley]

My favorite rubber? The one my dad forgot in his wallet 9 months before I was born
