The Secrets Of Adam Yates' Tour de France Stage Winning Colnago V4RS

[@alexfirth]

ngl, some of the research for this one was poor. 54/40 is a common chainring size now with an 11/34 cassette as larger chainrings are more efficient than smaller ones when guiding the chain around the curves in the drivetrain. The seatpost isn't a Colnago one with a "drilled hole", they've bought in Darimo seatposts for their star riders, Tadej's also riding one, they're just unbranded. Beautiful bike however, my favourite in the peloton currently for sure.

Not so long ago, I, like nearly everyone else, was on 52 or 53 * 42 Biopace front, 13 * 24 or 28 6-speed UltraSix. Campag downtube shifters

[@RatluBoogerbag]

Small correction: the brake rotors aren't floating. They're joined by rivet. Floating rotors are where the braking surface isn't connected at all to the inner.

[@RichardWait]

Got the Carbon-Ti Gen 3 Rotors on order - they look the biz!

[@graffhead206]

On Adam Yates' bike, the mechanics did not drill a hole in the seatpost. That is a Darimo seatpost. That's just how they're made.. in the name of weight savings.

[@kidShibuya]

2:37 that's a totally stock darimo post.

[@grandnash84]

darimo must have not paid for advertising this year lol

[@mashiehood]

drilled a hole..... come on folks this is basic stuff

[@wsbygt]

Nice!

[@roadcc]

We're reliably informed that the seatposts that Yates and Pogacar are using come from lightweight specialists Darimo. Would you go with an aftermarket seatpost to save a few grams? Let us know in the comments below!

«Drilled a hole to mount the saddle» lmao

This is amazing. Who can I give £15k (of the banks money - I'll end up paying them £20k at least) just so I can ride a bike 500g heavier than my 10 year old bike that I bought for less than £3k?

[@paolosangabriel8659]

whats the bike size?

[@shibaburn7725]

"We don't often see a 40-tooth inner ring". 54/40 is a standard Shimano 12-speed offering. I'm surprised Shimano doesn't offer larger.

[@theantichrome9842]

4:24 those rotors are steel, not titanium.

[@LeongYJ]

A kidney and half a liver. That's how much the Enve bar/stem will cost.

Still riding my Colnago Mexico

[@SimonGoesSideways]

Lightweight mods and still 7.6kg? What went wrong?

[@owenbelleza3023]

might be the bottles, Pogi’s bike with the same set up in a medium size is only 7.1kg

[@pinoyxbox]

Bottles, headunit and mount

[@SimonGoesSideways]

@@owenbelleza3023 bottles are empty and probs 150gr for the pair

[@SimonGoesSideways]

@@pinoyxbox yeh I get all that, as my other answer, bottle are empty. , say 150gr. Wahoo roam is 93gr, , mount is 44gr. This is why 7.6kg is disappointing for a bike with a £15k price tag

[@mlee6050]

@@ryanterence471 I been looking at Trek Emonda ALR (yes aluminium) as want aero bike but still round seatpost, looks like mine be 7.4-7.6kg before bottle cage (all power meter stuff and computer on bike) and that is with rockshox axs dropper, be 417g lighter with normal seatpost also just £5-6k from looks I want research on aero between bottles and camelpak inside of jersey, I'm thinking to use camelpak and avoid bottles for like anything where just 2L is needed or so

[@deltagreen0]

anyone know what size ?

[@trroland1248]

Was it really that heavy? 7.6 kg?

[@roadcc]

Really! Although that is with empty bottles and bike computer

[@rioenriquez2499]

Pogacar's integrated Enve stem/handlebar would probably cost $1,000,000.00

[@txcolnago]

So all i need is this bike and i ride like him? Take my money

[@mikeyw7891]

Disk wheels an aerocoach disk wheel on the tt bikes, not an enve one

[@veganpotterthevegan]

I'm guessing $900 for the bar/stem. I'd be getting one if they make it in a 150mm -12 degree but I doubt they'll make it. Would love to support them as a local business for me

[@roadcc]

150mm!!!??? I don't think you'll be far off

[@veganpotterthevegan]

@roadcc yes but the -12degree is a bigger issue. I can live with a 140 but a -7 degree won't cut it. Few integrated bars are available in over 130mm none outside of Aliexpress are -12degrees but that maxes out at 120mm

[@iansellers1251]

You weighed it with water bottles ?😂

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON CARBON-TI THROUGH AXELS!!! Was in a rush changing a tire & rounded the end and had to drill out the through axel.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

Sounds like you overtightened them. An m5 with pretty soft aluminum can easily handle +10nm.

[@Lou-Lou.]

Wait, campagnolo now supply shimano groupsets 🤪

[@paulhiggins9492]

Show us the weight close up on the scales also the tyre size on the wall , other than that utter heavy clunkers oh and expensive.

The bottles are full ;p

[@lorenzodestefano4043]

7.6 kg for a climber bike is way too much, maybe with lighter wheels it will be aronund 7.2, I miss old light rim brake bikes and I think they too.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

When you're fast, weight matters less. Also, this probably isn't going to be the wheelset he runs for the hardest stages with mountain top finishes.

[@lorenzodestefano4043]

@@veganpotterthevegan physics says that is not like that when climbing, and what you say is true only starting from 40km/h. Anyway it is possible to have a perfectly aero bike under 7 kg, bianchi xr4 was, colnago v3rs rim brake was, pinarello f rim was. They are riding slower and heavier bike for market reasons, when an aero rim brake bike is still a more rational solution.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

@lorenzodestefano4043 nope, drag is very important far below 40kph. Plus, in everything but an uphill TT, these bikes have to be efficient on the flats and fast on descents. *Aero rim brake bikes just aren't faster anymore. The UCI tube profile changes ensured that. Companies could make faster rim brake bikes to meet those new tube shape allowances but they won't because disc brakes are simply better. Plus disc brake wheels are faster due to having more freedom with rim shapes

[@veganpotterthevegan]

@@lorenzodestefano4043 it's pretty ridiculous how good bikes are now. My 4th gen Domane is faster than my fully on aero rim brake Cervelo Soloist with similar wheels and the exact same position. This is through testing with a power meter. The numbers don't lie.
