[@Hogiewheels]

You always get quality when Ollie is on camera, enjoyed this a lot.

[@torbis75]

Saw this video and the one where you do 30miles/h last year in 2021. Decided the bike must be good enough, and decided to go all in both training wise, and equipmentwise in December 2021. I wanted to go for Gold Medal in then Norwegian Championship for masters 45-49years old. I knew if I could hold 48km/h like Ollie, that would be enough to win. Then came Covid for me, and there was no Norwegian championship it seemed either. I then applied for the Nordic one, and what a trip. Got the Gold in my class, finishing 30sec ahead of all other winners from 35 years and up. Norwegian championship came by suddenly. Won that one also. Qualified for WorldChampionship GranFondo in Trento Italy. Unfortunately a little sick there, but secured a 5th place in my age group 45-49years. All much because of these two inspiring videos from Ollie and GCN. Thanks for the ride ;-). Makes for a good story ;-).

[@cb6866]

What a machine...Ollies face when the people rode bye during free hub check ? ........... Priceless !

[@mopedvieh]

Now the question is: how many riders can Si beat with this configuration?

[@RudiDwiHartanto]

Syborg cant lose man

[@Seppster58]

I enjoy all the Ollie videos. Always puts a smile on my face. Nicely done Ollie.

[@hisdadjames4876]

Superbly professional and authentic-sounding presentation. Some of those faultless takes were minutes long. 👏👏👏. Ollie is one pro presenter, if not quite one pro cyclist😉

[@bivani]

It is just fun to listen Ollie talk about stuff!!! Very entertaining and informative 😁👍🏻

[@bjsr126]

Show us Hank trusty Dogma. Man is outrageously loyal to that bike! Iconic relationship

[@allthenewz]

Put Si back on the upgraded TT bike so he can smoke the rest of the GCN presenters again! 1v6 1v7 1v8 is now possible.

[@ConsciousBreaks]

Simon would've won 1v5 if they didn't include an *active* pro. If their fifth rider was Manon or Dan, I think they'd also be dropped like Ollie was 👀

[@chrisgilligan4968]

@@ConsciousBreaks The group that dropped Ollie would have been faster if they had ridden at the limit that Ollie could sustain and kept him as part of the pack - but I guess it made for a funnier segment, and more poking fun at Ollie by doing it the way they did.

[@DrewKime]

@@chrisgilligan4968 I thought the same thing. And if they don't have any better discipline than that they wouldn't do better with 6 or 7 or 8 on the team.

Ollie, pointing at bearings: A bearing resting here, and a bearing resting here. Editor: Yeah let's just edit that out and slap a B-roll of the fork and wheel there instead

[@AgingBoy]

Great to see Ollie on another TT challenge. Reminds me of his Project 49 couple of years ago. Go go go!

[@GCNuser123]

thanks mate! i love it!

[@hebrews11vs5]

My oh my! That bike should be enough to make even the tour de France riders envious! Awesome!

[@hebrews11vs5]

I have pretty much done Ollie does independently of knowing. With the exception of crank length. I tend to like to bump up the crank length. Latex and p zero tt, I race RR with those. Aero speed play: check. That black no pinz suit that he wore 3 years ago : check. Going to a one by: I want to and would if I had the money. Using electrical tape: no matter how much you are using, I use more. However a tt I did recently the commasaire did not allow it. But on my road bike I have a lot of it. And I did not know about that Orbea but it looks like it ticks the boxes for me. But its disk brakes and that I don't like. I'm thinking the front wheel should be the aerocoach one that the pros are using now in the tt at the tour.

[@UpperEchelon8]

I would like to see ollie do an ollie on this bike.

[@wangkevin3431]

So u mean getting dropped in a team tt?

[@UpperEchelon8]

Wang Kevin To Ollie means to do a bunny hop.

[@elitedavidhorne8494]

I'd settle for a wheelie

[@JonneytheKidd]

I love this dudes hair. Soooo jelly! Amazing bike for sure mate.

[@ChrisGuarraia]

What an absolutely beautiful speed machine! (The Orbea, that is!)

[@bubblesezblonde]

I have been waiting for this vid since yesterday. Once again, Dr. Ollie rises to the forefront of physics logistics. Yes to the Siborg on this machine. All will be assimilated. Resistance is Futile. (I would love to hear the sound of it as it is being ridden.)

[@roanterry9351]

Love Ollie 💜💜

[@sethmichael8188]

10:26 that's like a smile of harmless mischief. But bikes sure bring it on that way.

[@stuartmisfeldt3068]

Ollie is so animated!

[@Kingjay814]

This is a bike that I've fallen in love with when I saw it in person at my bike shop. I don't need it, I'm not nearly fit enough, but my goodness do I want one.

[@gudrune]

Who buys bikes based on need, rather than want? :)

[@EnterTheOrb]

Ask if you can take it out for spin

[@cheec8548]

Ollie.. my fav GCN presenter 👍🏼

[@will44bott]

Free hub sound check was mentioned in under a minute, so I've stayed.

[@karstenmeinders4844]

Yes, we want to see Si on the optimized Ordu!!

[@lexington476]

11:56 Oh I think there's got to be another four, five, or six versus Si on that bike after the updates 🤘.

[@richardhaselwood9478]

I will admit, I watched all of it just for the freehub sound check

[@jendralhxr]

this rendition is the best one so far

[@jacobrandolph4199]

Definitely want to see si on the TT bike again

[@AnvilAirsoftTV]

Great stuff mate. I miss my TT bike and all it’s little details. I used to run dual HED3s, sounded like a chinook helicopter at race speed.

[@888johnmac]

Ollies entry for the cool vault ?? biggie/small gears , pedals at 3 & 9 , drive side , valve caps lined up , tyre writing right way up , all present .. it's officially cool

[@bubblesezblonde]

spot on it should be in the cool vault

Could you prepare a video with detailed information about that AEOX disc wheel, the structure, weight, etc...?

[@RickRubinesque]

Get Si on that thing!! 💪

[@kamucho]

That wahoo mount is super super sleek 👌 ooff . Also we need to get some high quality mics set up record that disc wheel "vvwomph" ..it's the new free hub sound check

[@gaborvajda7277]

Well, I just became envious. It is the best bicycle brand in the world. This is worth buying just for the sake of looking at it every day. But it would be nice to see it in motion.

[@PaulsDragonBanjo]

At 10:24 Ollie shows us the best way to show of your bike to other riders.😂 I’ll incorporate this move on my next ride.

[@derx6666]

Supernice !!!

[@eechaze12]

Love your contents Ollie

[@nizam_mr]

Would love to see Si back on it. Lets see what he has to say, since he was able to go beast mode even in its stock form

[@davepratt9909]

What's the story behind the damage to the chain stay?

[@GCNuser123]

Si did it 👀🤷‍♂️😂

[@nikolozchogovadze]

Those tyres are so fast! I had them on my road bike and it gained me so much speed. Also a lot of inner tubes. 😄

[@gudrune]

They puncture a lot?

[@nikolozchogovadze]

@@gudrune oh yeah, too easily. It feels amazing to ride it but the rubber is so soft. I got puncture at least 10 times in 3 months, I tried these after the gp5000. I went back to gp5000. The pirellis just blew up and the whole tyre ripped, only going 10mph. Again, very soft rubber. They're made more for time trial and not much uses, in the city they won't last at all.

[@gudrune]

@@nikolozchogovadze that's interesting, thanks for that. What about using sealant in the latex tubes? I have expensive tubulars on one of my bikes, with sealant in them. So latex + sealant must work?

[@nikolozchogovadze]

@@gudrune tubulars are awesome, If I didn't have to deal with taping or gluing the tyres I would go with tubulars %100. But these pirelli tyres will blow up on you, you can find it on my Strava ride I posted a photo of how they just blew up going so slow. I don't think a sealant would do any good or any better. You're better off with latex + gp5000

[@gudrune]

@@nikolozchogovadze effetto mariposa carogna something whatever : super nice tubular tape. Clean, easy install, and battle tested, won't fail you downhill. Thanks!

[@ianusna91]

Another round of Si vs would be great!

[@lexington476]

10:25 that'll wake you up, or scare the snots out of somebody else riding 🥱👂🤘. The hub on my TT race wheels are loud as well, but not that loud 🙂.

[@garyread2265]

Now is the time to see if they can drop Ollie on that 👀

[@Ciothrue]

Really cool bike! Would be interesting to know the exact weight, to compare with the ones used by the pros :-) Even though it is not as important as aero. What pressure do you use at raceday?

[@kamucho]

Some chunky paint chips on those rear stays....the uneven paint flecks reducing drag...nice gain 👌

[@danielagas3892]

Dream bike

[@cbr-entreprise9089]

Cockpit is magic❤❤❤

[@Solarsystem50]

My favorite part of the bike is the box for sandwiches

[@bobqzzi]

It was a great ride, and I really appreciate your attention to technical detail. I still can't believe a top end TT bike comes with disc brakes which are way worse than rim brakes.. You should try removing the rear brake and see what difference it makes

[@bphipps58]

Wouldn't it be quicker to have the pointed bar end plugs on the front as well as the back?

[@treyquattro]

now that Ollie has made it his own, is it the Orbea Owdo?

[@imbalolpro]

GIEF IT TO SI :D thanks for the vid Oli

[@natillano]

Holy cow, It even sounds fast

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Awesome & Thanks :)

[@garyread2265]

What stand are you using - shadow stands are cool, but that looks more supportive?

[@williamtetrault1300]

Nice bike! If you do go with some O/S pulley wheels, I highly recommend Ceramic Speed’s set. Yep, they’re expensive, but they really work well, improving the shifting as well as cutting frictional losses.

[@daniel.3603]

No one: Absolutely no one: Ollie: “ The Aero frame box stays on, suck it UCI!” 😂😂😂

Hi This is Ramesh and I am a cycling enthusiest. I do cycling everyday for 30KM and follow all the guidelines suggested by GCN. Most of the accessories used by GCN team is not available in India. Can we get some accessories for cycling use in Indian roads and provide the feedback to GCN. So, GCN can understand the performance of different accessories at different road conditions.

I've looked at other videos but I don't seem to find the info...What frame size is it?

[@lexington476]

6:00 what's the largest cog on the cassette? I'm just wondering how it's going to handle when you hit even a medium sized hill 🙂. Going up in a 58x23 is going to be painful 🙂.

"It's technically not UCI legal". Great. It's time to put a stop to all those UCI silly rules, that impede better performance. I didn't even knew that I could find a freehub sound, amazing :).

[@johnbarron4265]

Exactly. And why settle for the primitive diamond frame design when recumbents have proven themselves to be the superior machines in literally every time trial ever.

[@Gren_RU]

Which chainring do you use on this project?

[@The2014engineer]

If Ollie didn’t use it for his Hour Record, I don’t want it… [Ollie’s TT bike, $20k + Ollie’s free hub sound check facial expressions, priceless **]

[@peterlemonjello1626]

No team in Tour are riding Orbea, correct?

[@gleenlobos7847]

If you have different tire sizes, the tangential velocity will be different therefore the wheels will rotate at a different rate and that means more friction, more watts and the tires will last less.

[@iberiksoderblom]

No.

[@sacevedoneira]

Well the tangencial velocity will be the same cause both wheels are touching the ground and traveling the same distance, but the angular velocity will be different which means bearings in the front hub will last less than in the rear hub and thats it

[@bobbyraj1606]

Is a front tri-spoke faster or a 85-90mm front wheel?

[@gwenalcantara219]

This bike vs 5 presenters again pls

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

"tuck your head like a scared turtle" 🤣👍

[@shenzhenpingpong]

Maybe you can take it to Mike Burrows for a look-see, and he can suggest additional aero changes. Would make for a nice episode I think.

[@MrApolui]

So how many watts do you need for 30 mph?

[@chrisgilligan4968]

Watch the other vid - I believe with the tricked out bike and bespoke skin suit that it came in around 326 watts average to sustain 30 mph on a 10 mile flat time trial.

[@chrisgilligan4968]

@@michaelnewell1 I mean these videos are mostly for entertainment purposes...but it might be interesting to see what they come up with. The rules very well could be restrictive and unnecessary....at the grass roots level of cycling where not everyone has $20K to put down on a bike, I would say restrictive rules are more valuable in creating a level playing field than they would be at the top end of cycling. Pro teams have bike sponsors and also healthy budgets to trick them out with the highest level of gear, and the greatest amount of testing to set the rider up in the fastest configuration.

Rookie question: how do you do to get the food from the low storage while you are riding? (I've never seen a tri-atlhete stop to eat)

They don't stop. In race setup, this box would house your repair kit and the likes, not food. If you're training, you could stuff that with scotch eggs :D

[@bobbob-vx3yv]

Hello, you quite rightly mentionned Eddy Merck as an all time great cyclist. Could you please do the same for another all time great, and possibly greater, named Jacques Anquetil. Jacques Anquetil is aguably the most amazing cycling prodigy that France ever produced. He won the Tour de France 5 times. In 1961 Anquetil wears the yellow jersey from start to finish. Aged 22 in 1956 he beats Fausto Copi's world record of the hour. In 1965 Anquetil wins the Critérium of the Dauphiné and the next day - the next day - takes part in the classic Bordeaux-Paris, 560km ( 350 miles) winning the race in 15 hours 3minutes and 3 seconds. The Brit Tom Simpson is only 59 seconds behind.

[@neelsahay5227]

best thing about this build is that it is dirty and scratched up. a race bike is meant to show off its battle scars.

There's a cutout slot for the Valve . On some Disc Wheels they can be closed afterwards , maybe on that one too

[@Hill_Walker]

Could you replace the 11 toothed sprocket with an aero fairing that covers the rest of the rear sprockets? I imagine it would need a bearing so it can be separate to the spinning sprocket. Then just program your Di2 not to use it.
