Awesome intro! I always thought the orange jumpsuit was a French prison thing, but the plumbing career makes sense. But seriously, Hambini did a first rate job installing my IKEA except he stripped two of the fasteners because he doesn't own a bloody torque wrench plus I had to listen to him blathering on for two hours about radial deviation of the holes, and how they hadn't been bored from the same side, etc. By the way, my second sailboat was named "A__s of Humanity" and the marina did not take kindly to it.

Hambini thinks Luesher shouldn't repair carbon frames. You never can quite duplicate the factory materials and create a seamless bond. I suspect Hambini is partly correct. Luesher seems to know when a repair is safe and possible and when it's scrap.

You’re bang on with the slightly higher hands encouraging relaxation of the shoulders and allowing a lower head position. I use software in my bike fit process that measures rider frontal area. I consistently see riders being able to reduce their overall frontal area when using a slightly tilted pad and bar.

A lot of independent rider chose the Giro. What I do, and I've seen pro's do, (although not strictly legal) is to add some extra padding on the front inside of the helmet, so that the helmet sits more level while not having to strain the neck to much. If you can stay within the UCI limites you could try rotating forward to lower your front end. Other then that, shoe covers, aerobottle, a onepiece suite, the usual.. People that have properly tested raised versus lower arms, like Aerocoach, have explained that for most rider raised arms are faster but there can be very little in it & only if able to maintain power. There are several pro's that have stayed with low arms. I've spend a fair bit modeling & simulating in CFD & I'm often not that impressed with Hambini's "opinions". I always get the impression he's got something to prove.. What really does it for me though is him declaring this that and the other is the worst ... ever invented and then seeing the state of his bikes/garage and "workmate" while dropping his makeshift tools on the floor.. He truly must be a worldclass "plumber" lol..

This is a good analysis from an athlete's perspective. However, you may be missing one advantage of your semi mantis position - keeping some of the air from being "trapped" at your belly/hip area. Instead you push it outwards and around your body. Some of the same effect is achieved by using the POC Tempor or MET WideBody, reducing the drag created by your shoulder area.

Have not got osymetrics but on my fat bike................I could top out at 38kph on the flat but the pedal stroke was very choppy - changed to a oval ring - smooth pedal stroke - found the same on my road bike - my TT bike had them already fitted when i got it - more power?? I don’t think so just a smoother pedal stroke for those of us (me) with poor technique. I did look at osymetrics when i changed my road bike rings but was very unconvinced and still running 2x rings I’d have been dropping chains all day - so it’s q ring and black spire - and forget carbon rings on 2x setups - they don’t like shifting and you have a handful of teeth and a carbon paper weight

The art of TT. It is. No power meter will give you all the answers. Real world discussion here. Where to invest the watts. Certainly not downhill against a headwind! In that case aero really is king. Get so low your power drops along with comfort. Uphill with tailwind power rules unless you overcook it. Then you've lost time. Unfortunately you can't go back and try it again because conditions have changed. That is why it's an art. Great Hambini impression! Really? Fluid dynamics? A plumber?

Awesome intro. Reminds me a lot of 1 of my other fave channels. I think the theory behind the praying mantis position isn't anything to do with the helmet and the airflow around it but it's more about keeping as much air as possible from getting between the arm and your body. I'm not sure what the UCI regulations are around TT/tri bars but I look at them and there's parts of them that look incredibly unaerodynamic and I wonder why they haven't been changed. My bolt on tri bars will get worked over one of these days to see what I can do with them.

Hi, thank you for the interesting content! Regarding improvement in FTP or CP for moderately trained cyclists, it would depend on the timeframe you have for improvements. If you are talking about a month 10% would generally be exceedingly difficult, but if you have 3-6 months 10% should be doable for a lot of ppl with a quality program that fits their physiology. Regarding the tightness in your hips and quads, from what you describe I think I might be your hip flexors and rectus femoris (both hip flexor and knee extender) that’s a bit tight and implementing some stretches for them might help. This could also be a part of the reason for why you back injury occurred. For the rectus femoris I would recommend active/passive stretching since that generally would give more functional adaptations on the bike. While on the hips flexors regular passive stretching should do the trick. Keep making the content!

@@PeakTorque This video her shows it pretty good, but instead of just holding the leg you'r stretching with you'r hand, you should put it on a chair or a box against a wall. That way you will have a lot more control over the stretch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqPLkn9qjbaUgtU If you want to use a active/passive you should hold the passive stretch for 30 s then while holding the stretch try to push your leg back using a knee extension for 10 s, then release for 10 s, then repeat that 3 times. For a regular passive stretch you just hold the stretch for 30-45 s and then release for 10 s and repeat 3 times. Ann important note is to use a pad or pillow under the knee so you don't put to much pressure on the kneecap and patellae tendon.

The disc wheel thing at the end was a shock. Can you elaborate on what the sensations of riding one that you dont like? I've ridden disc wheels for years on track and TT bikes and I LOVE the handling. Granted I'm riding at 50kph not 40, but still they seem super quick in cornering, and lower weight than a deep section wheel (and less rotational inertia for a given weight)

23:22 if you look into his knee and quad muscle in relation to his body you can see it is much closer than in your photo which does not have anything to do with his or your height. Also looking at his saddle you can see he is at the very tip of it, while you are comfortably positioned almost all the way back, he is almost standing like sprinting and looks like he is in lot of pain doing it, while you look pretty relaxed and comfortable. His knee while pedaling goes higher than his elbow while yours is lower, again his upper body is much lower than yours is which again is not function of height but simply speaking he is more flexible than you are, or he is willing to suffer more than you are, I bet cycling in his position is best described as painful but he is still doing it like that.

FTP increase of 10%.... not Hard! Especially not at the weekly mileage/duration you mention. Btw it does come with a physiological cost to get more slippery. It is harder for most to turtle and drop their shoulders, keep the head down, handling the bike in a TT position, folding yourself in half by way of vending the back and/or anterior pelvic tilt, triceps fatigue and so on. Sure there are adjustments that are free-ish, but the rest you gotta push the power to unweight yourself, gotta have the strength and flexibility to fold yourself and hold that fold, time on the bike to get accustomed to the position, neck fatigue, eyeballing etc. Structuring your training is more free than getting more aero.

You're somewhat misunderstanding what "laminar flow" is and how it relates to attached flow. You don't need laminar flow to achieve attached flow. In fact, There are many cases where a laminar boundary layer is a lot more likely to separate than a turbulent one. This is why golf balls have dimples and some wings use vg's. But the main point here is that you shouldn't take it for granted that you'll have separated flow just because you have a high Re.

Especially when it comes with a weight penalty. Which is something I've never seen addressed, the F=ma equation. Sure, saving 10w here or there are important, but what of it costs an extra 15-20w of effort to move that extra weight?

One thing about the long/short helmet is that the dip behind the short helmet is on a fairly narrow width of your body. From the sides, the helmet tapers in towards your neck and shoulders. How much "dip" is actually there, and how much space does the long tail actually fill? I think the POC aero helmet addresses this, but others don't. The shoulders are exposed no matter what.

Fucking engineers and PowerPoints. One important point is that a boundary layer transitioning to turbulence doesn't necessarily imply separation, which is the premise of the "dimples" on various surfaces, but I think you're totally right that aerodynamic optimization requires lots of real world testing, because the deltas cyclists are searching for are often too small to measure/predict with CFD or wind tunnel tests.

10% more power is objectively better than 10% lower CdA. The scaling is the same but drag only accounts for about 75% of your power dissipation. Reducing your CdA by 10% is also really hard if you're already trying. You might go from .22 m^2 to .20 m^2? It'll almost certainly reduce your power output.

We are not streamline shaped? I beg to differ. In fact most of in esp. the woman in GB are in fact very "streamline shaped".

I would normally go for the flat forearms position with slightly wide elbow position and hands practically thouching, for three reasons: 1) Safety. I personally find the 'praying mantis' to be extremely sketchy. If I don't feel safe, I can neither keep an aero position, or push significant power. I might just be doing it wrong though. 2) Stability. The slightly wider elbow position helps me to keep a still upper body, which is both good for aerodynamics (not sure if this outweighs the increase in frontal area) and power output. 3) Sustainability. Even though it might be a little bit less aerodynamic than narrow elbows, this way can sustain the position for at least an hour in triathlon. For short TTs I do actually space the elbow pads close together and just suffer the discomfort. It's a difficult trade-off. There are so many factors, it's hard to say which is more important, and impossible to scientifically quantify the comfort units per aero gains.

that power curve at 9'35"... FTP 290 W; peak power 2000 W????? A "moderately trained athlete" with 2000 W peak power? Are you kidding?

Late to the party but 1/.9 > 1.1 / 1 so CdA actually matters more than power when comparing like for like ratios. ;-)

I suggest you read more on exercise physiology, try Stephen Seiler. Yeah, there was an awful lot of conjecture there, on position analysis and physiology (or anatomy!).

There's nothing typical about that critical power curve! 2000w! Marcel Kittel couldn't even do that! You've picked up a track sprinters curve. Also, if you have the right genes you can increase your ftp by more than 10%. Doing 6 hours a week as a club cyclist I had an ftp of about 300w, doing 15 hours I've upped that to 370w. Aero is still more important, but significant improvements in fitness are possible.

If you're riding a flat course you might get faster just by gaining weight. CdA does not scale with body weight.

2:05 you can not be surprised in response video, obviously video is recorded after, scripted, edited, rerecorded, planned, reedited, scheduled........ so do not fake it, use the time for something better instead of trying to be remembered by fake reactions.
