The Latest Aero & Lightweight Tech At Eurobike 2022

[@chrisridesbicycles]

Successfully dressed up to be instantly recognised as a Brit in Germany. Well done Ollie. 😂 I like the idea of the more flexible seat post on the Scott aero bike. And no, you don‘t want to see me in a skinsuit.

[@thomasspotzl4240]

Like a drunk brit...what might be redundant though.

I can't be the only one that giggled at "the cassette goes to 11". Good one, Nigel.

"Uh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm looking at the guest list and it appears your name has been dropped." 😂

[@matteo.ceriotti]

As time goes on, those aero gains get smaller and smaller, AND are measured at higher and higher speeds. Now Castelli estimates a gain of 2m at 70km/h (on what distance?!?) 🤣

[@inlovewithgoats1092]

Yeah, apparently it's not good enough to be measured in Watts 😂

Ollie: white saddles are too hard to keep clean. Also Ollie: I want the white shoes

[@eblackshaw]

😂

[@antoniop1968]

I said the same. IMO, white contrasting against black, white seat, pedals, bar tape and shoes, on a black bike is "Super nice". Ring the cowbell.

[@hollywoodundead72]

Dr Ollie. This guy I tell ya. One who deserves the admiration of appreciation

[@katrinagwen]

FSA’s modern rear derailleur 0:33 with a zip tie, nice.

[@MikeKolcun]

Don't forget the wood screw!

[@stonecirca80]

It'll be to stop someone nicking it I bet 😁

[@PaganiZondaF650hp]

I was also like „available soon“, yeah right if they can’t even properly mount in on their demo bike yet

[@권용대-b5v]

Thanks to vivid presentation! It’s good to be able to experience the fair with a great presenter like you Ollie.

[@leftylum]

Thank you for sharing all the tech from Eurobike. I really enjoy all the small details being pointed out. Topeak never fails to impress with their new products

[@arcadiushakim3675]

Making me smile really like GNC Tech, and Ollie always enthusiastic.

[@chm2]

That Pod Bike is cool. I had something like this back around 1985. As a 7 year old...

[@kuglepen64]

No no no. Balls to the wall is in reference to the rotating governor on a steam engine.

The same device is also commonly used on elevators to activate the safety (brakes) to prevent it from falling too fast in an emergency.

Schöne Lederhosn Oli! 👍😉

[@bradleysellwood124]

Castelli one piece are all I use now, just love the comfort when training/racing.

[@XR4turbo]

Balls to the wall actually dates to steam engine centrifugal governors. When the balls were spinning at their maximum (ie wide open throttle) it was known as "balls out" or "balls to the wall". It makes sense if you look at a diagram of on of those devices.

[@a6o932]

Thank you for knowing this, I was about to say the same thing.

[@logicaldad1917]

Only Ollie can say "bicycles with 4 wheels " without flinching

So envious of your Lederhosen. I;m sure they will be the new cycling shorts of the tour riders. 😅 Great presentation Ollie. A lot of work and so much to see. It must be overwhelming.

I hope Ollie's carer keeps an eye on him he's likely to go off with anyone with a promise of seeing new kit.

[@danielsotelo3942]

FYI: Balls to the wall you mention is correct... But there is also Balls Out, meaning old steam trains had this spinning power governor control system that had two balls. The faster it spun the centrifugal forces forced them outward until they reached their outer limit, so engineers called going full speed on a steam powered train "BALLS OUT" fast. Ahhh, got a love them balls.

[@eblackshaw]

I can just see a future gravel assignment for Ollie ... white shoes, white onesee, white bike ... but black saddle ... 'cause ... you know ... white would be hard to keep clean ... 😆 ... (sorry Ollie, couldn't help myself). Great reviews ... thanks for 'bringing' us along.

[@Rose_Butterfly98]

That concept bike looks so good though. Slack geometry, gonna be comfortable. I do like those podbikes. Some people at my last school from the engineering side made a 3 wheel recumbent covered bike. They put a front wing on to make it look more sporty, turns out it changes angles at speed and turns into a dynamic wing to stabilise the front. Which was needed because the design was rushed and the prototype wasn't the most ridable thing lol Really should get one of those ratchet sets

[@sanktjohanser]

Someone needs to tell Ollie that Eurobike isn’t in Bavaria - Saying all Germans wear Lederhosen is like saying all Brits wear Kilts and eat fried Mars Bars. :)

[@renegadetenor]

I was always taught that BTW came from the First Industrial Revolution, 200 years ago, referring to governors on steam generators for powering machinery.

For anyone wondering how much the podbike costs - it's around 6200-6900 Euros. Difficult to find the price on their website, even the preorder page doesn't mention the actual price. Not sure what they're thinking. Seems to be a decent price compared to other velomobiles, though it's definitely not as aerodynamic.

[@hcw199]

WEF You will live in a pod, eat the bugs and be happy!

[@d_charles]

I have the last model Foil, which is extremely comfortable and fits 32s. Interested in how much the new one weighs.

[@pennyblue6372]

7.7 in the tdf

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Why would one fit fat 32s (28 % more frontal area than 25s) on a dedicated aero bike?

[@d_charles]

@@einundsiebenziger5488 Roads in Canada are crap becuase of frost heave, so more comfortable and less rolling resistance as well, only really starts to be advantageous above 32 km/h on A+ road surfaces, so it's a wash anyway.

[@danielsotelo3942]

Dear Ollie, I was at 2016 Eurobike when Silca introduced a wheel balance kit and ever since wheel balance has become a growing subject among high-end consumers. So, it's now 2022, has anyone come out with an easy-to-use wheelset balance system? I can promise you by mid 2023 this system will be released, and it's called DSB technology, featured on Rotational Crafters wheelsets. These wheels are going to flip the entire high end wheelset market on its ear. Ollie, Stay Tuned...

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Recently watched a few "dream build" videos where the mechanics would zip-tie Di2 derailleur wire to the frame and use zip-ties and foam-padding to wrap internally routed wires to stop them from rattling inside the frame. So the zip tie thing is not an FSA exclusive.
