MY HOUR RECORD BIKE

[@vocsnor]

I'm a big fan of the channel! I'll be rooting for you!!

[@2rismo]

Great sportsmanship.

[@brianmessemer2973]

Class.

[@wanderalmeida9584]

👏👏 Respect from Brazil, Champ!

[@PhilEnsminger]

Any sponsor that throws in their support, but does not insist that you use a sub-optimal product for the given event gets my respect. Shout out to 4iiii.

[@yogatriathlete]

They probably required him not to mention that he's using a Power2Max though, otherwise he would have talked about it

[@DustinParkes]

What a machine! The bike isn't bad either. Go Alex, go. Cheering for you on Wednesday!

[@nickoutdoors85]

Good luck Alex, will be cheering you all the way!!!! 😊

[@TriathlonDan]

So stoked for Wednesday, good luck Alex!

[@kitcht]

Brilliant. No other riders would do this. Good to see Hutch in your corner. All the best on the attempt.

[@paulentwistle1651]

Hi Alex - all very close now - your channel is a breath of fresh air - your honesty beyond reproach - wishing you all the best for this hour record……

[@MrBoggins1234]

Very, very nice 👌. Great to see Chanel again, albeit as a bike track stand, after the sneezing in the last upload. Very excited for this!!

[@brianmorris3346]

Really rooting for you Alex!

[@chch242]

Good luck Alex. One of the nicest chaps in pro peloton, never change.

[@douglaspate9314]

Totally agree!

[@maxlein1246]

Good luck, Alex, for the big day. I’ll be cheering for you from Japan. No matter what happens, you can be proud of all the effort that you put into this!

[@iainstatham]

i'm already nervous, can only imagine how you're feeling right now! wishing you all the luck that your hard work, training and efforts deserve. go get it done!

[@dm9817587]

Good to see Hutch supporting... good luck

[@Enigma71559]

I may have missed it somewhere, but was wondering what time the attempt will commence. I live in the midwest USA but Mexico City is just an hour behind me. I certainly want to watch. All the best to you!

[@ss-hb7im]

Good luck Alex! Super interesting vid.

[@upthebracket26]

Good luck Alex - probably one of the nicest & most inspiring riders out there in the pro peloton.

[@timw4369]

Look forward to you breaking the record. You can do it!!!!

[@gregnichols9363]

Luck is what happens when opportunity meets preparedness.....you have created lots of luck. I love the fact that you will be the fastest family in cycling, you and your family have mastermind this process. I hope your wife will live stream the breaking of the hour here on your channel!

[@brianmessemer2973]

You're a real joy to watch, Alex. A world class sportsman with a head for tiny details yet totally down to Earth and relatable. Rooting for you Wednesday 🚀 ✨

[@leegreenaway8006]

Lovely bit of kit, (I don't understand a word of it but it looks quick and expensive). All the best Alex, will be watching and cheering you on.

[@FNQ_BEES]

Awesome machine. Good on the sponsors who got on board. All the best Alex (and Chanel)!

[@sheilapedersen4257]

Good luck. Can't wait to cheer on the nicest guy in cycling. :)

[@francodellamura7471]

I completely agree.

[@ianhoxley8477]

Best of Luck Alex.. I’ll be rooting for you on Wednesday 🍀🚴

[@krisbowditch827]

All the best for your hour record attempt 💪💪💪💪..love a hambini review of the bike set up 😃☀️👌👍

[@chriswitek9455]

gotta love all the minimal return things done, lighter grease, no seals, etc etc. although, im wondering if you went 1/8" chain or slimmed down to 3/32". id assume down to a 3/32 as its just less weight and plenty strong itself

[@BionicBarneyBoy]

You're a top rated and classy rider and I am sure you could get the record on an old postmans bike mate. But hope all goes well on the day and you smash it. You, Chanel, the crew helping. Do them and us proud and get the record again!

[@JStockinger]

Super awesome bike! Can’t wait to watch you make history once again. Good luck!

[@blakeesh3493]

Good Luck Alex! Very excited for you!

[@noahmiller91]

Wow, what a machine. Great support from all backers. Good luck Alex!

[@janwillemkuilenburg7561]

The horizontal handlebar ends are straight ended. Why no rounded end caps to add aeroness?

[@xscreamsuk]

Smash it. Al is set, Hutch is a great help I'm sure. Get it al out. Will be glued to the channel. Best wishes.

[@adventuresinfillmore3035]

Good luck Alex! Smash it! 👊💪🇬🇧

[@danielmocock9140]

“Winning is fun…. Sure. But winning is not the point. Wanting to win is the point. Not giving up is the point. Never letting up is the point. Never being satisfied with what you’ve done is the point.” Aim high and all the best for Wednesday. Legend Mr D 👌

[@merckxy54]

Good luck Alex, Wednesday we will all be watching you break the record, no if's!!!

[@douglaspate9314]

Strong legs, steady mind! Go for it!!

[@colinswan786]

Go get it Alex! Awesome bike and all your recent vids have made it clear the efforts you and Channel (plus team) are putting in so I really hope it comes good. Good luck!

[@wanderalmeida9584]

Good luck, Alex! Go for it! 🙏👊 Respect from Brazil.

[@ewanmackenzie6777]

Getting pretty excited Alex, bike looks Ab Fab! will be cheering you on every one of the 3,600 seconds. Wishing you all the Very Best. Go Alex Go

[@markxbrooks]

Wonderful run down of a wonderful bike by a great cyclist and guy. Thanks!

[@HopHeadScott]

All the best of luck Alex. Not that you need luck. Smash it!

[@Neilhuny]

As an overweight elderly bloke with no interest whatsoever in getting on a track and who had to restart the video after accidentally switching off the telly with the remote as I shuffled off my armchair to get a second bacon sandwich in the middle of this (detail matters) - I am absolutely fascinated by the tech, the thought, the science, the work by many hundreds (including you), and the emotion that has gone into the making of this bike and your attempt at the hour record! I am massively enthusiastic about you taking the record on Wednesday! It is hard to convey how enormously I want you to do well. (PS I'm not *that* overweight - I will be cycling from middle England to Istanbul starting early next year) (PPS Chanel makes a fair bike modeller, all things considered)

[@martinooo29]

Looks amazing!!! Good luck Alex you can do it!!! Hope you are going to smash it.

[@x3thelast]

Looove the gold chainring. Looking forward to it going around the track at max effort.

[@stephensmith3704]

What a cracking looking machine!! Keeping absolutely everything crossed for you 🚴‍♂️💨👊

[@nissenalf]

Awesome setup, wish you the best luck, go smash that record!

[@eladiogonzalez1772]

Rotor cranks can be seen on the bike but you haven’t talked about it. What is the crank length and which model are?

[@allanreardon]

Good luck Alex. Your passion for this really shines through.

[@themanof83]

Great stuff. What's the target cadence?? Using basic tools I make it 94rpm to take the record... But is that your typical cadence? Seems high to little old me.

[@meatmotorendurance]

Let's goooooo! Also, we need a Chanel review that digs deeper into the why's behind each piece.

[@sjmclean0]

Good luck Alex, have a good feeling about this one.

[@physiodigby]

Great looking bike, great rider. Will be cheering you on all the way. Good Luck :-)

[@janphilmillner2307]

Go for it Alex!!! Greetings from sunny Tasmania!

[@brendanpotash]

I can't wait to watch the ride. You've got it dialed in Alex. Go for it.

[@mariusilerd9581]

Those wheel logos are so f*cking perfect!

[@neilrollins475]

Jesus Alex. Supergluing your Karroo in your seat. I'd have gladly 3d printed you a mount! Too late now, GOOD LUCK!!

[@davemellor4697]

You really look well Alex....hope you smash it!

[@andrevorster8425]

Great stuff Alex thank you for sharing. Seems like you're good to go, all the best with the record attempt.💪

[@joegammon1550]

Bike looks amazing! Best of luck Alex 👊

[@sunilmukerjea525]

Really nice looking Steed!! Think that qualifies for a "Supernice" in the GCN bike Vault!! Go well Alex. Best of luck.

[@JonathonDoig]

Can certainly feel your confidence in the presentation of your bike. Thought we might get 5 mins of a Chanel review. Maybe have to go on to the Chanel channel for that. All the very best for the 3rd. Going to be watching at 42m altitude... 💪💪💪👌

[@m1ch43l]

this is cool af, good luck Alex!

[@ci6620]

Good luck! Thanks for sharing and the insight! Cheers from Germany, Ian

[@besenwagen8542]

How can we follow and watch your attempt on Wed? Any streaming planned? Fingers crossed!

[@Seperfjeld]

Hi. What is the airpressure in the tires? Good luck from Norway :-)

[@AztecBabuska]

First of all good luck Alex! I’m looking forward to nervously watching! But are the bar end of the base bar plugged in anyway or is the carbon shaped instead was hard to see with camera angles!

[@Enigma71559]

I was wondering about that too. Those don't look very aero.

[@amc5966]

We are all behind you Alex. You will do this. Beast mode on.

[@kayvanwieringen7609]

Why dont your horizontal bars have plugs in them? Now they are a flat and hollow doesn't this generate more aerodynamic drag compared to bars wich do have plugs?

[@emmadudley228]

Best of luck Alex , top man . Will be cheering you on as always.

[@GrouEEf]

Amazing, Alex! How about the helmet choice, and skinsuit comparison?

[@chrispyy606060606]

Looks amazing, every detail thought out.

[@andymitchell2146]

Here's me doing TT's on my gravel bike. Would love to try zipping around on a sleek machine like the Factor, though I'd never do it justice. Fingers crossed you will Alex.

[@wargey3431]

I know how you feel I ride everywhere on a Alloy CX bike I’d love to try a proper TT bike And really hope Alex does it

[@francodellamura7471]

Bravo Alex, bocca al lupo!

[@albr4]

@@wargey3431 yup that's what I want to do at some point. I believe that a disc wheel makes a huge difference to your average speed. It would be interesting to see the difference between my current aero road bike and a full TT setup because I know I can hold a world tour level aero position but just need the equipment to match it.

[@thomasjousse2427]

Frankly, as long as you've got TT bars, you're probably aero enough for most events.

[@albr4]

@@thomasjousse2427 I think a disc wheel will add 1mph to your average speed, of course adding TT bars to your road bike will make you quite a bit faster but if you've got an extremely aero road position it doesn't make that big of a difference, all your doing is moving your together. People with bad road positions with their torso at quite an upright angle will benefit alot from aero bars.

[@jascollinscork]

Oh be the holy jesus that just screems lighting fast.....!! Best of 🇮🇪 Luck to you and your team Alex.... can't wait to watch it!!

[@pauldrinan]

Incredible technology. Good luck!

[@ulricjacobs9857]

Best wishes from South Africa, Alex.

[@PantsManUK]

Very best of luck to you Alex. Would have been nice to see some film of you on your steed (slowed down, from the very end of a timed run even), but the "secrecy" is perfectly understandable.

[@MrMarkyone]

Why do people dislike this video i dont get it,really hope you bring it home alex all the best.

[@DeanPattrick]

Stunning set up there.!!! Looks like you have covered all the bases, even using superglue under the saddle. Just get the job done now 😎🙌

[@TheMerckxProject]

Have you done any testing or does any know if there is a notable effect dependent upon where the rear wheel axle/bolts sit in the dropout? I assume you're more focused on butting the tire up to the seat tube, but was wondering if you had noticed a difference between the middle of the dropout and the end, where you had the wheel set in this video.

[@simongilliat2205]

Very best of luck, Alex. Will be watching!

[@cerrol85]

Wow! How is the basebar, plugged ends in some aeroway or holes?

[@ChrisHallRides]

Looks fantastic pal. I’ll be rooting big time for you. Incredibly proud of everything you’re doing 💜

[@gonthar1]

Best of luck, Alex!

[@stevengordon-head2420]

Awesome bike, love the front riser arrangement. Definitely agree with Aerocoach working straight out of the box. 10 mile TT is enough for me these days 😂

[@nickjones252]

Looks amazing. Best of luck on the day!!

[@santiagobenites]

I'm sad that you'll be making your effort at exactly the same time as my gym workout, so I'll miss watching it live. The bike looks fantastic, and we techno-nerds love all of the customization and details! I hope that you have a fantastic ride!!!

[@GingerBoy1974]

No plugs on bar ends?

[@Raykazen]

Why didn't you put the read wheel as close as possible to the frame ? I figure the saving would be way more than what you got from the chainring.

[@BadTanLines]

#Missedopportunity This could have been THE video we've ALL BEEN WAITING FOR where Chanel reviews the worlds soon to be most aerodynamic bike. But I'm a patient man, I'll be here waiting for the next Chanel's Channel Cycling Review. Lets go!

[@Neilhuny]

That review "When you ask your other half to review your new road bike..." will be hard to beat. And coming straight after her "NEW CANYON! Chanel talks you through her new roadbike" video will be an exceptionally hard act to follow. But she can do it.

[@simonknowles4267]

Alex, how long did you take to organise the entire attempt….regards from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺

[@GeekonaBike]

Do you have an optimal tempeture in mind for the velodrome?

[@willmunday8843]

What a machine! Look forward to watching the hour. Good luck

[@seanmccuen6970]

full on. I like the raw pragmatism of this build.

[@richardhasler6718]

Good luck Alex, so nice to see a cyclist who knows about the technology in their bike, real engineering knowledge. I loved the comment about the bling chainring that's designed to be most aero at 60km/h, 'I will not be going at 60km/h ever' ha ha ha!

[@duncanrymer7892]

You said at the end of the video that "hopefully i'll be able to do it justice" Hopefully it will do you justice, Praying that you do it Alex, best of luck

[@freemdog9728]

All the very best of luck Alex. Go smash it!

[@mdgpatch7980]

Looks awsome. Why no aero plugs in the base bar ends?

[@scotth3354]

If I had to guess, I’d guess because they don’t even qualify as the most marginal of marginal gains??

[@mdgpatch7980]

@@scotth3354 ye I just thought you'd want to reduce the base bar frontal area at those points and some of the Enve bar ends would just smooth the air flow over them. Marginal yes but in an hour record ever watt counts surely 🤷‍♂️

[@mdgpatch7980]

Profile design ones are 70p so surely worth it when you've bought at £1000 chainring 🤣 even if it saves you 0.01 watts

[@jackdavis8786]

Where are we going to be able to watch and what time will it be shown?

[@davonpointer2310]

Awesome, good luck Alex 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@JonathonDoig]

Alex, quick supplementary question. You don't have bar ends on your base bar that is facing the wind. they just seem to be open. Most others have got cones or at least some profiled end. I'm sure that you have considered this, just wondered what's the reason for that? Just over 24hrs togo woohoo...

[@NeoPayneHK]

thank you and wish you all the best!
