SUPER!

Aren't cross bikes more robust/durable to allow for jumping and the like?

Spoke to a guy (ex XC racer turned roadie & quite fast) yesterday about CX bikes on the road. His experience is that a CX bike is great for commuting & winter training & really comfortable averaging 15mph but makes trying to average 18mph very hard work. Trying to stick with a fast chain gang was hard going. He described doing one of his usual hills 2 mins slower than normal while putting out 80W more power! It is all in the frame geometry. Now that you can get disc brakes on a road bike I'd suggest sticking to one of those if you mainly ride on the road. I'm putting my money where my mouth is & am off to buy a new road bike today! Merry Xmas to me.

I'm actually thinking of getting mountain bike pedals for my road bike. Seems a lot more useful to me than road bike pedals.

most carbon CC/road & hardtail frames are max weight 1.4kg. 2.5kg-3kg weight thicker guage carbon frame would be nice option built with thicker carbon for extra strength & carrying pannier racks on bumpy roads. carbon fibre rack to save weight also
-
youtube injects the javascript code or some internal code into the video so it automatically show the logo function in a part of video also makes it lagging and slowly play.
-
never thought a 1x rear derailleur would be any different from a 2x, are they not compatible?
-
1x or 2x? any thoughts?
-
what if i like mountain bikes and riding on dirt but i want to lightness of a roadbike?
-
#trqueback when are you guys (gcn) doing a video on fixed gear/singlespeed not just road bikes out there you know ;) thanks
-
What were those wheels on the road bike called
-
my tyres are 700x20 and you said its "normaly it would be a 23-25"
-
Cyclocross bike for commuting or a endurance road bike?
-
Ugh flip sakes just use a bloody mountain bike
-
you idiot cantalivers are goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
-
i would love to see a speed comparison between road and cx bikes
-
Other than trying to look cool or pretend at 40 years old and overweight I am going to win a grand tour, I am not even sure why I own a road bike anymore. Cross bikes can ride the road just fine and be flexible for trails, gravel, racing. I've no incentive to pay for a modern road bike.

you forgot to take off the green packaging cling wrap from the sram RD on the trek... #jerryoftheday
-
what about the differences in Time Trial bikes and Triathlon bikes? I thought that they would be the same but they are very distinct.

Late to the game on this vid but:
#TorqueBack Cross bike, or mountain bike as a second?
