Carbon wheels: pretty + aerodynamics + stiffness but not necessarily lighter and will not necessarily accelerate faster or climb faster -- but will allow faster _average speeds, especially into the wind, or in windy conditions. Criticism mitigated by the advice on choice of depth immediately following,

Put a V8 engine on your bicycle.

Excellent vid., you know your stuff!!!

Thin tires aren't faster anymore. Wide has a narrow contact patch = faster.

how 130mm you stem ?

great video, lots of good advice. im probably more in the "dont just assume expensive is better" camp.
i just picked up a 350 euro B-Twin Triban 500 to replace my MMR GRIP which got stolen and i really cant fault it as a stop gap commuter bike.
the only thing that might be a problem is that it has internal crank bearings. otherwise its a light bike and the frame is very stiff. the group set is unbranded cheap stuff but it works just fine ( i might swap the wheels for some shimano R500's for safety). even the paint job is pretty cool. money isnt everything i guess. -
2000km on my 10USD cheap tires and not one puncture. :)

You mentioned cranks, I'm 6'3". What do you think of me using 180's instead of stock 175's. What size do the pros, my size, use.

7:25 Chain catcher! that's a gem!

This guy actually speaks 100% sense. Aluminium is as good as carbon. Wish Id watched this first and saved £££s. There nothing wrong in spending money on a bike. But not wasting it on stuff you'll never use. Well done, Bananiac. A victory for common sense! :-)

Great vid. How about carbon fiber top cap and spacers? Cheap way to drop a couple of grams.

-
Do a bike review that is behind you thank you =]

Good vid

Nice vid, thanks!
On my Roubaix, I've already upgraded the pedals to Dur-Ace 9500s and the seat to a Specialized Romin Evo with carbon rails.
I can feel the difference, as slight as it may be.
Again, thanks, I really appreciate the information you provide. :)
