Which is your favourite bit of tech in this video? Let us know 👇

[andresgizmos]

Is that a rim brake giant TT bike?! May be the last rim brake bike in the world tour 😢

[MggW]

I think a video is needed to explain the aerodynamic benefits of 3- and 4- spoke front wheels. They seem noticeably shallower than some of the traditional spoked wheels.

[adamweb]

2:11 That chainring is so huge it's basically the diameter of mountain bike wheels from a few years ago 😂

[PrzemyslawSliwinski]

1:10 - An interesting volta... The first Shimano road bike brake rotors (Ultegra and Dura Ace) used to have cooling fins of the size and shape of these carbon inserts.

[bobbybobman]

68 tooth I remember back when some guy ran an unheard of 58, back in like 2017 ish ... Although i do think he ran a normal cassette on the back for his tt's

[SkylarsRnD]

That Colnago is so good looking. I'm in love with the three spoke Princeton wheel tho from Ineos and their Pinarello.

[권용대-bv]

Thick forks of Colnago and Pinarello looks so empowering. I’d like to see these designs in road bikes as well!

[ethangodridge]

Will be interesting to see how Cian and Roglic get on in TT's after swapping teams and Cian being critical of Bora's TT setup.

[KenSmith-bvsi]

I just put a 1X on my Aethos, I got a Sram aero chain ring 48 tooth "smallest" Sram makes.

[suhdud]

Opening the video with that Colnago made everything else just B-role grade.

[xprodigyx]

God I love time trialling, my favourite discipline by miles.

[awhite]

These bikes are looking like they’re from a different planet

[swordmonkey]

A question for GCN or someone in the know, does Pinarello pronounce Bolide as the French "Bowl-leed" or more English "Bow-lied"? I hear the presenter say "Bow-lee-day" accenting the end with a the acute accented "é" though it's not present. Does Pinarello pronounce it differently to try to make it their own thing?

[wjeurs]

Didn't know those Chainguides were necessary, thought a narrow wide ring would do the trick

[chrisridesbicycles]

It‘s interesting to see different concepts of front wheels. Normal, tri-spoke and four spoke. I‘d love to hear a discussion with an expert. Does it depend on the fork which one is best?

[kaustubhgokhale]

Wow I had no idea Giant Trinity has Quick release axle

[cbb]

Imagine having disc brakes on a tt bike 😂 pretty un-aerodynamic

[andrewmcalister]

0:26 That Black Inc disc wheel on the Factor Hanzo looks amazing. 😍

[Max]

That chainring is starting to compete with the great white shark for the most teeth.
