We've got an incredible, super lightweight, custom S-work Aethos by ‪@TwistedWheels‬ and we're told it weighs just 5.4 kgs! Of course when we found out there was only one guy we needed to send to check it out and verify this information - cue Dr Oliver Bridgewood!

I have an old road bike that comes in just under 10kg and that was after upgrading every component except the headset and fork. It felt like a victory getting it that light. This bike is a work of art while also being practical. Not sure how comfy that saddle would be for a long haul, but everything else is fit for everyday use. The frame/fork/wheelset customization and paint are next level detail. Well done, Oleg. I'm going to have to check out his channel.

My metal (Ti) Lynskey Helix OS with all mechanical Dura-Ace rim brake 9100 is 7.6kg with its fast wheels on (DT240 hub/DT Aerolite spokes,/Advance composites 40mm rims) , including bottle cages (King Cage Ti) and Time Xpro 10 (cro-moly spindle) pedals. Aluminium (Fizik) bar, stem & seatpost. It even has a Brooks C13 saddle to boat anchor it some more. But do I weigh 90kg (only ever down to 84 at my thinnest), so any more weight savings are irrelevant. & I can ride it (slowly-ish) for 150km without significant pain, or worry when I go over every bit of rough pavement. Having a bike that is 10% of your body weight is a good thing to aim for, as a wise old cyclist once told me, and I've cleared that hurdle with daylight beneath me. Heck, even my wet weather/commuter bike scrapes over it. & our man Oleg don't look like no Yates brother. But then he is a self-confessed weight weenie. To what purpose, it must be wondered.

I would love it if you could do a build with adding extra hydraulic sub brake levers on the tops (e.g. shimano BL RX 812) Going past parked cars with my hands on the tops feels like a deadly gamble. It would also be nice being able to go down a mild slope at a constant speed. It would be great to know if said brakes are worth doing to make the tops more useable in urban environment. Theres a lack of info on them on the youtube, my local bike shop said they would maybe be bad a wreck my brakes but didn't have a source for why they bad. Any info, possitive or negative, would be much appeciated. (If you do the build will love yous forever)

I have light bicycle rims with no holes, it’s nice I never have to change tape if it gets geeked up, but they really just built the wheel and then added another strip of carbon over the holes, it’s not UST style it never had holes.

@TwistedWheels Жыл бұрын
No, they actually don’t drill the wholes in the internal bed, which makes the rims not just tubeless ready without a tape but also stronger

@@TwistedWheels maybe it was different for yours the , my AR50 (2020 purchase) set obviously has a strip around the bed on top. I wondered how they can charge the same price for holes/no holes when no holes would be more labor.

I’m running Giant SLR hookless rims tubeless with Continental GP5000s TR tires, Silca tire sealant. I’m losing 3-4 psi overnight. Is that normal? I have also had the sealant form clumps after about 30 days or so. Normal? Is there a leak I need to chase down? Where to start? #askgcntech

Some one have done a Sub 4kg road bicycle ... it could be epic to review it. A diference is in the transmission, the other has much lighter group set, easy 400gr less, the casette could save many grams with a aluminium soul kozak (no more into production) but last nothing. The RD was a carbon custom modified and was amazing etc etc 😵 And tre was a MTB in 5kg with suspension fork etc. So the weight weenie world is amazing.

#askgcn I hope i get an answer to this question… Sram AXS Rear derailleur is working with a NON-Flattop chain? (With garbaruk der.-cage here) I see a 10/36 casette (looks like the same as from Sram) And then theres a 1by Front Chainring… So my question: could i possibly run a setup like this with 12s Shimano chain (worked on the previous vid with the 2 canyons) and a 2by Shimano chainring Setup? (Lets say 52/36)
