Peak Torque had good commentary about hookless. Safety needs to be a sliding scale, not you’re running 2psi more and now you’re facing possible death. Your clincher tire says max 120psi, but you can pump it up to like 160psi before anything happens. How many times did this happen with clinchers?

The trouble with Sports Direct, historically speaking, is that they don't sell goods of the same quality as you can find in Decathlon.

You can buy some crap in Decathlon but a lot of the stuff is good enough to practice the activity. Which is why they are so dominant here in France.

Only just found out about this podcast and it will be my go-to from now on. Bought a Triban RC500 2 weeks ago mainly based on the review you guys made and the podcast is a valuable extension. The chemistry between Jimmi and Francis really makes this as good as it is!

Mousse is the Motocross term for Tyre inserts, they've been doing it for decades.

Quick comment: Phil Gaimon went back to the Big Island of Hawaii to re-take the KOM on the Mauna Kea climb. 56 miles from beach to top of the volcano gaining 14, 000 feet (4300m). The final 14 miles is insanely steep and includes a long stretch of powdery gravel ash. Phil did it on a road bike with road tires. Crazy.

It seems a lost opportunity that they didn't put a shark's head on that helmet.

@8:48 Zipp's rims might be compliant but their own tire/rim combo recommendations are not. They still say 28mm tires on a 25mm internal rim width rim are OK which is in direct violation of ISO/ETRTO guidelines.

@16:08 however: these are fully within the helmet guidelines of the UCI. According those guidelines it actually has always been allowed to wear a TT helmet in a road race (see the comments on the new POC TT helmets being worn by EF in road races).

@17:57 you can have a prototype provided it is commercially available within 12 months.

Vittoria air liners are indeed ridable with a flat, but they are not big and boofie. They would not cause the tire to fly off. Even the second incident at SB.. the guys rim was cracked in two

[paronetti]

the helmet looks exactly the same as the speed skiers used already in the 80s when they descend over 250 km/h

Skateboarding got the 9 Club Podcast, cycling got you guys. Keep on the good work! 💪

[pphaneuf]

Getting an S-Works _and replacing a bunch of parts for fit_ is just epically expensive! Absolutely not doubting that getting those exact same stem/handlebars/cranks/saddle on a custom bike might come out cheaper!

[pphaneuf]

Hookless for gravel or off-road, sure, but for road, no thanks! Just as Dov from Parcours explained in an older video...

Great podcast folks thank you. Have been and checked my Reserve 35 wheels which I’ve been riding for 2 years. Website says they are ‘semi-hookless’. They say:

Currently, the limiting factor for hookless rims is tire compatibility and a limit on tire pressure. Full hooked rims on the other hand are typically heavier and harder to install tubeless tires. Reserve road rims as a result are semi-hooked, which means there are reasonable limits on tire pressure, no tire incompatibility issues and tires are easy to install.

Excellent podcast - listened on Spotify as soon as it came out. Please keep them coming, they're getting me through the horrendous factory noise by my desk at work 😅 insightful, education, and entertaining.

A long time ago, when I was still practising biketrials (rock/obstacle climbing with a bike without a saddle), we would often ride 5-8kms a day just to get from spot to spot. Every day. Never will I ever have such abs and core again. Did this for 14 years. Well done on the podcast journey though! Been listening in on every ep since birth, it's a joy.

[danielfisher-ghel]

10 years ago when tubeless was new to road, and Francis will remember this, a few hundred of us riding the transcontinental went over the gravel roads around Alp Assietta Italy, all on road tyres and some of us on 23-25mm! Yeah there was punctures but a lot of us made it over fine.

Somebody HAS to play the Spaceballs theme when Visma rock up to the next TT

I live for the packpacking content, can't wait!

Mike Ashley has previously said he wants sports direct to become the "Selfridges of sport" which you have different sport or brand boutiques under the sports direct banner. The flagship store in bham that opened last year has the usual football, running etc but then Adidas, Nike specific areas and a whole Evans bike store on the bottom floor

[avocette]

Funny thing is, I have once foolishly ridden a cheap road bike on an XC casual ride on the rural mountain footpaths with babyhead rock gardens. I had 25mm tires, gotten a million punctures, kept on riding despite the flat tires and marred my rim flanges, but not once have my tires popped off of my rim 😂😂

Also, Peak Torque has released a video on a breakdown about hookless rims.
