That's not a bike mate, that's a weapon

[@ronykuba]

true!

Ben Griffiths, I was interested In this video, But the audio was too low, Would appreciate a redo of video.

Hi, You're right, a combination will always work better with big ring, due to the "polygonal effect". What's in the "box" behind the seat tube?

[@ronykuba]

My flat kit is in there

[@attorreatravere4590]

It makes it look better, in the opposite of a classic saddle bag.

[@123huskieman]

The motor

[@jrw1030]

you could use ceramic jockey wheels on that sram 1x because sram admitted that the narrow wide jockeys on the derailleur dont help with chain tension in any way which is why there not on the newer groupsets

[@ronykuba]

J Williams I have Ceramicspeed jockey wheels in there. The clutch is the main feature of the derailleur.

[@georgec2894]

Awesome bike! You've thought as far, far more than most... but I feel compelled to offer suggestion for further potential gains as I'm sure you'd be interested :) 1. Tri-spoke front wheel? Look at Hed's offerings. 2. Do you use a No-pinz trip suit? As you probbably know they have trip sockz, trip overshoes etc. as well - some of which are banned in some competitions! 3. Tidy/shorten that rear gear cable with the big loop a little ;) 4. What is you tyre-wheel interface like? I know some people who add glue to this area if there is a small trough to improve aerodynamics. 5. Depending on the course, road surface you can risk quite a bit with tyre choice. TT-specific tyres, can even try to run track tyres /v. v. low rolling resistance) on perfect surfaces outside but this is very very risky! 6. Do smaller crank lengths allow you to get in a more aero position? This means your knees will not come up as far at the top of the pedal stroke so your body can get lower and/or flatter. But your set-up is fantastic!

[@ronykuba]

George Corbin thanks for the comment. 1.) I don't think a tri spoke would be faster, as they are only made as tubulars, which are worse in both aero and rolling resistance. 2. My trip suit is arriving this week 3. this is the ideal length for smooth shifting, shortening it wouldn't really decrease the frontal area. 4. With Zipp clinchers, tire interface is perfect 5. Vittoria Corsa Speed - fastest tire available, and still quite sturdy 6. I already run 170mm cranks. Not extreme but shorter than normal.

[@xscott902x]

Taken from HED's website "The H3 is available in either full carbon tubular, or a clincher version with alloy braking surface. Both feature the same blade shape and 55mm deep rim section."

[@ronykuba]

xscott902x an alloy clincher with a fairing is even less aerodynamic than a tubular

[@xscott902x]

I've read pretty extensively on this subject and while this can be true of traditional spoked wheels with fairings at deeper depths this is largely due to where the spoke(which extends past the faring all the way to the alloy outer rim) meets up with the edge of the fairing. I have yet to see any data suggesting this is the case for tri spoke style wheels such as the H3 if you have some actual data to back this up I'd love to see it. The H3 clincher is a full carbon wheel with an alloy rim bonded to it and has the same aerodynamic profile as its full carbon counterpart and tires should mate to the rim much the same way as they would any other clincher rim.

[@Fastfitnesstips]

Great video, useful tips, awesome bike.You have attended to every detail!! Boom!

[@ronykuba]

Fastfitnesstips thanks for the comment, I think it's just up to me now.

[@bodhisatwaghosh]

Hello, I have the Trek Speed Concept 7.5 with the SRAM Force Mechanical 11 Speed, I want to add the Quarq spider powermeter to this. What are my options? I am a bit confused regarding the Bottom Bracket which seems to be incompatible with the normal quarq power meters

[@ronykuba]

Hi, you can book a consultation here: ronykuba.com/product/one-on-one-consultation/

[@subsenix]

when you're outside and far away from the camera... try to speak louder :)

[@ronykuba]

Petcu Gabriel thanks for the comment, unfortunately there was a lot of traffic on the road as well.

[@MikeRaymond91]

Microphone would be a recommendation! Good video.

[@torma99]

Yes, just a wireless microphone with some noise dampening required.

[@DARDKOPF]

hey Ronald you're channel is very good ;-) can I ask how tall are you? greetings Markus (I was wondering because I have the same weight 59/60kg and I'm 1,69m

[@LGBhull]

You should use a narrow wide ring when running 1x systems, even with a clutch derailleur you are risking a dropped chain. That would cost you many seconds haha.

[@ronykuba]

Theodore Kincaid it is a 1x specific ring

[@marksmits1911]

I wonder. Do you only race no uci tt. A few things are uci illegal. Its a sick bike. Like mine speed concept too

[@ronykuba]

I do UCI events now, the setup is quite different

[@wrc1045]

Can you add links to the products please

[@ronykuba]

wrc1045 I have added them to the description

[@PiotrRakowski]

That's my favorite setup of your speed concept. What's the saddle model?

[@matejburian3191]

Dash TT.9

[@charl7893]

nice bike but how cum I haven't seen you win any race yet?

[@Dvearncombe]

What specific time improvements did you following these upgrades? Not having dig, just interested in the magnitude

[@ronykuba]

Dvearncombe I have been constantly upgrading and changing stuff, so it's hard to say. We will see on Sunday, when I will TT the same course as last year on my old bike.

[@mamounawad4013]

Hi, Let me know if you plan to sell it...Thanks

[@ronykuba]

It will be after October 6

[@gabbechico8471]

were is the handelbars from?

[@ronykuba]

It's part of the frameset

[@twpadventures1973]

Do you use an indoor trainer?

[@-Bonobo-]

woah, thats a fast bike, whats your fpt?

[@ronykuba]

around 300W @60kg

[@ronykuba]

ChickenParmHero anywhere from 6 to 15h

[@haralaboslukatos6734]

How much is cost your bike as is in the video?

[@ronykuba]

Haralabos Lukatos around 12 000 €

[@haralaboslukatos6734]

thank you for the answer. Nice bike you have. I have one TT bike quintana roo tequilo 2002. Crank is 53/39 and have 9 speeds cassette 12-25. sounds good setup for TT bike or i should look for bigger chainrings and different cassette?

[@ronykuba]

Haralabos Lukatos if you average more than 45 km/h on most courses, then a bigger ring will be more efficient. A TT cassette should definitely have a 11t cog.

[@haralaboslukatos6734]

my average speed is never was 45km. I wish i can do that. And i have stop ride for around 3 years. I work full time job after that most of my days after work i fix people bikes. But now i want ride again.

Cau Rony, vsetko super premyslene, tak sa mi to paci:) Este z kategorie marginal gains mam pre teba jeden tip, dokonca free, na zvazenie. Odporucil by som ti dat ten k-edge tt mount co najviac dopredu, a mat garmin basically hned za rukami. Dovodom nie je ani tak air-flow (:D), ale najma to, ze nebudes musiet otacat hlavou dolu, ked sa chces na garmin pozriet, a teda budes schopny drzat lepsiu poziciu hlavy. Mas sice short-tailed helmet, ale aj ta je optimalizovana na horizontalnu polohu (divajuc sa dopredu).

[@ronykuba]

Michal Ráchela ďakujem za tip, vyskúšam

[@PeterPutz82]

can't hear you

[@beeky3]

Whats the make of that cross bar storage unit ?

[@ronykuba]

Phil Beekhuijsen if you mean the top tube box, then that's the speedbox 2

[@hungly447]

Volume is So so so little

[@mindciller]

Your extensions are so far apart your hands can't touch. I used to have mine the same way. Now my hands meet close together and with a bottle in between creates a better wind pocket to hide behind

[@ronykuba]

mindciller the extensions are so close together that my forearms touch all the way and my hands are in the Frodo position. I don't know how did you figure this out...

[@mindciller]

Must be the camera lens. I don't think they will allow a water bottle there anyways

[@ronykuba]

mindciller they don't need to
