Secret Products Pros Used In Kona | Ironman World Championships 2024

Are you a tri tech geek? 🤓 Did you spot something we missed?

[@chrislaycock982]

Going to have to watch this again, I got distracted waiting for the plastic waterbottle and race shoes on top of the wood buring stove to spontaneously combust....LOL

[@markthrelfall3577]

Wait...do you not pre-heat your running shoes before a run?

[@TheCrowdedPlanet]

I can’t stop watching these either😂😂

[@Microbit0]

Haha first thing I noticed 😂😂😂

[@Microbit0]

​@@markthrelfall3577 and I call that a true comeback! 😂😂😂

[@oliverschmidt1988]

hahah was about to write something too !!

[@stevebassett8944]

Plastics on a fireplace??? Hmmmmm, hot tech

[@maxidlab]

Really appreciated this video guys! During the eight hour live broadcast I’m always looking for them to talk about the new tech in detail and they never do so it’s great to get a condensed video with all the highlights like this. More of this in the future, please!

[@TriathlonAnt]

Finally. Great to find some talk on the helmets so I can have hope to find something good! Thanks GTN!

[@mikekent9488]

I love this. Thanks for sharing

[@federicomurero]

Great work, Mark! I've spotted the 180 hed back wheel which is out from at least two years, but it's really interesting the fact that not many athletes can use it. I also saw the Ultra Cool Tech products and I think these are the future for cooling before and during the performance

[@pierre.racing]

He was carrying spare tubes for half the field 😂

[@jascollinscork]

Wow some serious tech there…… the water bottles under the chest was the biggest 🤯🤯🤯 and the “aero shin tape” I’d like to hear Ollie’s opinion on that vs the quality aero calf guards/socks 😀

[@pietergelade]

Where to buy aero tape for the legs??? 😋

[@grahambell9831]

Great round up and summary Mark, nice one! 👏👍🫡

[@nicholasreinert1283]

Bigger chainrings just need 2 quicklinks and a small section of a second chain

[@markthrelfall3577]

I would have thought this too. I know they're pre-treated, but surely that would be the answer

[@Music-pq8cm]

Wish I could buy one of those light blue Ekoi skinsuits … with a standard pad for road cycling

[@TheUsername1302]

Sam Laidlow was wearing prototype Hoka Cielo’s during the run

[@trevor.harley]

I just got my speedmax and when I ordered they recommended that new base bar to me based on my measurements. I had to wait 3 months for it but it was worth it. They call it the extra long base bar and it has a stem length of 115mm, rise of 20mm (half way between their flat base bar and their rise bar at 40mm) and a width of 390mm. I think some of the pro's versions might be slightly narrower though.

[@matoesz4990]

Many you could find out in wind tunnel if tape is as aero as sleeves

[@robertnastasi8643]

This was a fun roast.😂

[@RoliRegenbogen]

Seeing all these Aero helmets and how the athletes are positioned on the bike I kinda wonder how to sight on a bike. I struggle with that a lot, but I must admit that I am running a low cost setup and not using elevated aero bars yet. The second questions that comes with that: do you have any experience with spacers for aerobars to lift them up a little more?

[@spikerboy81]

My favorite is the Mario cap that Magnus used. Where can I find that?

[@DavidWinnell]

Is Patrick Lange's second bottle (with drinking tube) custom? Google tells me it's from Steal Parts, but not on their website :(

[@davidtydeman1434]

Do you think that a non vented on such a hot and humid day would affect cooling with the consequences of suffering on the run?

[@nicholasreinert1283]

"reduce resistance to air penetration" is reduce front pressure drag. That rule is poorly written and as such all rear bottle setups should be legal under the wording of the law. Be definition something behind the rider cannot "reduce resistance to air penetration". It can help reduce low pressure suction behind the rider, but this is not reducing suction drag, not front pressure drag.

[@LT-ih8rw]

About the Speedmax, Canyon offer 3 steam lenght. You have 3 choice when you buy a Speedmax CFR or SLX (65/85 and now 115mm)

[@Microbit0]

The key word here is "when" 😂

[@markthrelfall3577]

I was aware of this, but had been told that some pros (I think Sam) has a longer version. But 115 is probably that, which is great to hear :)

[@LT-ih8rw]

@@Microbit0 it is already available if you order a speedmax, you will experience the "customise my speedmax" where you will be able to choose between the 3 lenght but also the shape of the bar (flat/mid-rise and high-rise)

[@henryvds7552]

Can you do a Video about the Van Rysel XCR Triathlon Prototype that Denis Chevrot used in Kona? I don‘t see anyone talking about that bike.

[@gtn]

Video coming soon. Bike is not officially released until early Dec, but we have had access to it 👀 Mark

[@henryvds7552]

@@gtn Very looking forward to this one. Thank you for your great content!

[@alansmith2593]

Triathlon tech woop Can I order a pair of those heat proof on shoes for if I ever run so fast they catch fire 😆

[@SBoots29]

Again, money can buy speed. I just tying to improve the nut on the bike for speed.

[@JostJoller]

No word about the special front tire used by Lange? 5:28

[@coboisarapatanas]

As an age grouper I can’t use a torpedo bottle with garmin mount between my arms on the aero bars ?

[@SBoots29]

That's a good question, because that is my exact setup.

[@pedropramireza]

You have a mark in Chile in the map on the back…. As a Chilean, of course I wanna know why? 🤔🤔

[@gregnichols2140]

if your fire is fake, does that mean the content is suspect? Your stove has plastic items on the top??

[@gtn]

Nope, the stove might be fake, but what we’re saying isn’t!

[@alexandergeorgesgretener]

why not just link two Ceramic Speed UFO chains together...?

[@desroin]

On one hand they're using sketchy aero setups and on the other hand they don't seem to know about sinking the screws properly into the setup ^^'

[@scotts6067]

Glacier tape has potential on a bike and maybe in a hat for hot races.

[@troycollett8540]

Aussie Steve McKenna lost 2 hours of nutrition after some bottles bounced out of his bottle cages

[@thommasr]

please someone take the shoes out of the top of the heater!

[@bikeanddogtripsvirtualcycling]

i think your shoes might end up melting there mate

[@larrylem3582]

4:15, I get the feeling that Mark is one of those guys that gets a flat on a ride and then depends on someone in the group to give him a spare tube.

[@colinb8327]

Plastic bottle on top of a wood burner? I couldn’t help watching to see if it would start melting…… 😅 Yes I’m that guy that would keep quiet and let it happen, whilst trying not to giggle. 😂

[@gtn]

A cup of tea? ☕

[@AMERI-KHAN]

I have no shame in this: first.

[@gtn]

Nothing to be ashamed of
