Track Cyclists are Built Different

[@cschmitz]

As an amateur track racer I LOVE THIS CONTENT!! These are fantastic insights!!! Thanks for making the video and please please more like this!

[@alexanderpolta]

subscribed because this track data dump was so in depth and impressively edited together. thank you to rider and interviewer.

[@thepancakestore]

These interdisciplinary interviews are super interesting and would make for an amazing podcast. I could totally listen to longer versions of these on rides. Also getting to know the guest better outside of just their racing setup. How did they get into cycling, how long have they been competing, what are their plans etc etc. super interesting! Excited to hear more!

[@NorCalCycling]

Thank you 🙏

[@kenhunt]

Super impressed with the handling that goes on when slipping to the back to get in the draft after a pull. That has to be the last 1% that a coach looks for that is impossible to teach. Kudos.

[@bryanlrsn7]

If I recall correctly off the top of my head, at team pursuit speeds in LA you’re pulling ~1.8Gs. So every 5 seconds your head gets twice as heavy and pumping that blood outta your legs gets a bit more challenging. Great interview and stoked to see DD hittin out in Denmark next week! The man can smash!

[@Real28]

Ugh that sounds amazing. I live for g forces. I'm a roller coaster fiend. If I could go on an aerobatics ride, that would be a dream. That or a F18 ride. Man that had to be feel incredible in those turns.

[@jermleeds]

Love the channel. I like this interdisciplinary exploration. And to that point, the video I'd LOVE to see on the channel is you trying Cyclocross. Go do a Sac series race, I'd watch the shit out of that!

[@NorCalCycling]

“In today’s video Jeff gets annihilated in a cross race”

[@williamrhardin]

​@NorCalCycling ill support this 😂

[@jermleeds]

@@NorCalCycling I'll even sweeten the deal. I'm currently not racing because I just had shoulder surgery. Come out to a Sac or Bay Area cross race, and I'll come shoot footage of your race from the sideline for your video.

[@danielsiapin]

​@@NorCalCyclingthat's exactly what we wanna see Jeff.

[@creeperut1886]

A well-practiced team pursuit is the most fun I've ever had on a bike.

[@Joshuavoice29]

I would seriously love more behind the scenes track content.

[@ShawnIsBatman]

Awesome content Jeff. The sign of a great interview is to ask intelligent questions and then let the guest speak. This interview was outstanding!!!

[@OrianIglesias]

Great interview and I i enjoyed the rapid fire format. Thanks.

[@__marshie]

Recovery at 380?! Not me.

[@jeroenconinx6121]

He was talking about sodium bicarb for crits and then you interrupted him to ask about the warmups.. I really wanted to know what he was going to say!

[@RobInglis-tn8gz]

Great video. I was in no hurry to watch this one because I thought it was going to be a 27 minute boring interview. Well how wrong was I, this interview could have gone for so much longer, it was soooooo good. Disappointed it was so short

[@gutierrezp49]

would love to see more track content. really cool insightful stuff in this vid.

[@DimiSalviato]

great editing, bro ;)

[@SamuelBlackMetalRider]

A goldmine!! So interesting. I ride fixed gear a lot, but outside on fast group rides / fixed gear crits. Footage is great too, warm-up & nutrition parts are so valuable

[@niklasschmid9123]

To be honest, a 62-14 gearing isn‘t that big, it‘s a 4,43 ratio, wich means for every full crank turn the rear wheel turns 4,43 times, while if you compare a the 52-11 (4,73) of a standard shimano or a 48-10 (4,8) for sram. Mark cavendish road an insane 55-11 (5,5) in his last tour de france

[@p0d0cyte]

Cav wasn’t doing standing starts in that gear. He had access to 23 other gear ratios. Comparing apples and oranges.

[@niklasschmid9123]

@@p0d0cyte not copmaring, I’m putting it in to perspektive. I‘ts even more impressive if you think that your normal roadbike has a bigger gearing, and the track guys hitting insane speeds

[@95TegSE]

62x14 is surprising because Ashton Lambie was running 64x14 or 64x15 when he set the IP world record a couple years ago

[@CyclingChefDiane]

Awesome, track content! Longer interviews would be great.

[@fentonbalfus4908]

Hey Jeff would be awesome to see you at at Hellyer

[@biedawo]

Jeff, you should definitely take some trips to Hellyer this next spring.

[@FT__Bicycling_____-sc7yv]

Really cool information. Thanks for sharing all that

[@XXXENOWRAITHXX]

When talking about the sprint intervals, like split 4ks and such is very similar to swimming, You do broken efforts to simulate the entire race pace effort. For events that are longer you are still swimming for 2+ hours a day even though the longest race is 15 minutes in the pool.

[@TimR123]

Gotta love a video that seems too long and you plan to just sample but end up so interesting it’s a half hour later 😜. BTW, you should go over to Hellyer and give track a try. They can even rent you a track bike if you can deal with “conventional” gear for a ride 😏

[@bryanlrsn7]

Naw! Jeff ain’t gonna ride a rental. I’m gonna send him a stromm with custom wheels and bars so he can get the full experience. THENNNNN WE TACKLE LA!

[@TimR123]

@@bryanlrsn7 LOL

[@randyshoquist7726]

I rode a lot of team pursuit on a state team back in the late 70s. Quite privative by today's standards. I often said that team pursuit is the hardest thing you can do on a bike... and the most fun! (But then other days I'd say it's Madison racing.)

[@judeackland-patel6646]

Stock footage bloke at 16:05 looks like Jessie Coyle off the Nero Show

[@RonohRonohRonoh]

Track content **chefs kiss**

[@FlyingPastilla]

The G's in the turns don't look too bad but they're guaranteed to make you neck sore after 100 laps of the track. Your head gets real heavy.

[@padmanabhaprasannasimha5385]

Go Alto Velo!! (At 10:33)

[@johncarlos2196]

I was unaware zipp made any wheels that aren't hookless anymore; very interesting

[@billkallas1762]

60x14 is a little smaller than a 52x12. 62x14 is about the same as a 53x12. The trouble is getting that gear rolling up to speed. I don't know about you, but I'd need a running push, from someone, to get rolling.

[@kapilchhabria1727]

Fourth. As in where I finish in a three person race.

[@matkrek]

Super interesting insight

[@michaelgraycycling]

They are some incredible looking bikes. 🤤

[@XXXENOWRAITHXX]

would love to see peak torque in this talk

[@Stealthwealth1001]

Would be good to see USA take track cycling seriously for the LA Olympics. The Atlanta Olympics and past LA Olympics saw dominant US squadra

[@shaunb93291]

I'm shocked he was a team pursuit guy. I always thought he'd kill it as a match sprinter and keirin guy or kilo. He did great.

[@aethylwulfeiii6502]

I start in the 56 x 11. Full outerwear.

[@Jay-nt2ew]

that's a serious warm-up. I wonder if he's wasting much glycogen doing that much..

[@whatwelearned]

They have the Lotus Hope to thank for that design, obviously

[@mitchellsteindler]

It isn't very similar to that bike...

[@kidsafe]

It’s literally the opposite of the Hope-Lotus. The fork is so narrow that it can only use flat disc wheels.

[@4791_]

See? The narrower 25c tires are more aero than those wide 28-30c tires.

[@NorCalCycling]

Narrower is aero I don’t think anyone disputes that, but aero at the cost of rolling resistance and cornering performance is not faster in road cycling. Track on the other hand is different

[@mylesiswhite4122]

25 on track is basically 30 on road. Wide as shit

[@NeilDeye-sm1qm]

Why not interview the US team that wins?

[@adamolig3865]

This looks like the NASCAR of bike racing, no offense

[@ethanparker734]

Stop interrupting.

[@bmxrider925]

Not first

[@NorCalCycling]

But not last let’s gooo

[@ethanparker734]

This is almost unbearable, I love this talk but let the man talk.

[@gregm901]

Stop interrupting your guest so much.

[@NorCalCycling]

I had a lot of topics I wanted to hit and also wanted to keep it pretty tight bc that’s what most of my audience prefers. I think I’m the future I’ll let this sort of content ride and if it’s a 2 hr podcast then so be it 👍

[@aarondcmedia9585]

@@NorCalCycling you could hit the topics over a much longer period and break it down into separate videos of each topic IMO. Finding info in a 2 hour video is difficult.

[@jalanpipes]

Disagree. This was good interviewing. Getting good info and moving it along. They covered a ton of ground in a really short period of time. Well done. As a roadie who races track, this was super informative. Huge thanks to you both for doing this.

[@inz_uzi]

I didn't notice it at all.

[@justinbloomer]

I didn't notice it. Personally, if this video was over 30 minutes, I wouldn't click on it
