This freaking legend just won Unbound!

[SuperJohnnyO]

"A real-world bike. No bullshitting around." LOVE IT! Great video! Thx~!

I always thought it'd be a really down to earth ride to meet up with Lachlan and head out. Granted we'd end up 1000 miles from the starting point, but it'd be a good story.

[ZenEndurance]

He's the 2024 unbound winner! Chad Haga made a gamble and tried to breakaway from him with about a mile to go. Lachlan was able to close the gap and then sat behind him resting until the finish line. Then the finish sprint, Lachlan was more rested and easily took it riding no hands with arms up in the air in victory. Real road racing tactics from two world tour pros. Incredible racing! Need to see their race bikes.

I so love Lachlan. He's not the least bit bound by convention, rules or "shoulds". Looking forward whatever adventures he's chasing this season.

[Ruke]

Congrats to him! He passed me on my ride in unbound! Dude is a beast, but super chill.

[phillipraifordjohnson]

I-did-it-my-way personified. Super stoked for his win

[durianriders]

Sweet vid GC. 💯

Great guy to win. Good for the sport because LM is so DTE.

PS: Durianrider spec seat angle. IYKYK.

[jeliano]

very nice, waited for that! love that di2 setup with the hanging box.

[hansschotterradler]

Insane, 53/39 chain rings! He is so powerful. Here I'm riding a 34t single ring.

[thelmaviaduct]

He could get a 2cm layback post and flip it around 180 degrees. Not that someone 8 stone would break the current configuration. Loved watching his EF vids, seems a top bloke.

[dorothyb.]

Since he’s moved away from road racing, he’s a much happier man . Love Lm

[nahunescarcega]

Congratulations Mr Lachlan, you are the man...

[ohnoyoyo]

he always seems like such a nice bloke in interviews.
and the guys an absolute missile on the bike.
OZZY OZZY OZZY! OI OI OI!

[malakiblunt]

you dont need a clutched derailer on a 2x - the front mech keeps the chain on -

I have an old Cannondale R600 done up with modern components. If you are familiar with old Cdales you know the cable guides on the top tube are fragile and hard to properly replace.

Well im missing mine in the middle and say i leave it to let me know im going fast.

So im basically Lachy...

I am a little surprised that 45 mm tyres work better than smaller sized ones given the relatively high speed they are traveling. For example Mohoric won the Gravel WC 2023 on 40 mm tyres and that was a gnarly course.

Bike fitters everywhere heads just exploded. Just position saddle where it feels best. Save the $250 for a bike fit 😂

[felixjackson]

Excellent. Love the content. Thank you.
