I had some leftover footage from the Iron Man World Champs that I didn't end up using
while I was out there so here is a video of some very fast bikes some of them with water
inside warning this video contains extremely short socks and one really long seat post
we wear your boat go on then oh I don't even know on average weight is 10. I feel like how
you're struggling with one arm oh my newly arms 9.61 oh that's not bad it scores so we have a
track speed Concept in a lovely blue Fade with matching parkour wheels 55-42 speedpay pedals
the Sabbath came with what shop extensions some kogel bearings in the wheels and in the headsets
hydration and fuel to carry in actually I don't actually put any in this one that's just it's
actually more Aero with the bottle in there so everything's Mega Aero yeah do you think bike
weight matters at all on the course no it's not not definitely not here it's more about being
as strong as you can and as aerial as you can in the wind and they're not like there's one steep
bit where you are probably will get out of the saddle and well on the on the hoods but apart
from that it will just be about strength and staying with areas you can especially if it's
windy 9.6 is a good start but I think putting my fuel on there it will definitely crank it
up a little bit but if you're not hydrated then you're gonna lose this race I think we're gonna
have to get Amy and shot for scale oh geez that's a lot of seat posters it is can we wear your bike
we've almost done truth yeah keep holding 10.79 uh it's an obl order and with the Aaron wheels
and yeah Roto chain ring and the biggest you can get biggest frame you can get biggest Watts
you can get as well a recipe for Success exactly good luck in the rice thank you think about like
the next generation of people are gonna be so good on camera because they've just grown up with like
YouTube and cameras and TVs you're quite good on camera I just that was my report card at the
school was Carl talks too much we wear your bike you can it's a canyon Speed Max CFR and medium
I've actually got no idea what uh weight it'll be right now it's 1.45 kilos this is great marketing
9.77 so you get two hill climbing bikes for one try bike easy I might just do that actually we
can both do the triathlon we can tandem Hill Climb bikes sounds good let's do it this is a
canyon CFR I was uh pretty lucky enough to get the new colorway uh the candy red that just
got delivered yesterday fully cut it out for Triathlon so we have like uh this thing where
you can pull the water into the aid stations which comes out here on the hose obviously
we have a storage box for gels in the top tier we have a toolbox around the side here
um yes it's all fully ready to go for Triathlon and optimize for Triathlon I guess yeah hi Kira
can we wear your bike so this is the Villa Rave SLR this is actually a gravel bike but I got to
oh no slipping I got to Kona and realized that 8.26 kilos I got Dakota and realized that gravel
tires on the queen K were absolutely shocking I was getting dropped by triathletes on this anyway
that's outrageous here we are road tires on a gravel bike it looks kind of weird it's like guppy
guppy yeah with this bike Francis we have some special extra features we've got the road pedals
which are power pedals we've got the GoPro Mount which doesn't really fit because of these error
bars and we also have the Hammerhead Mount which has special aerodynamic electrical tape to hold it
on because speed is everything yeah that's my bike Laura can we wear your bike you can indeed this
is like it's like a nervous moment isn't it yeah what do you think it'll wait oh God I don't know
everybody gets anxious including me with my newly arms ready
10.16 1.16 what's that fit in the scale I'm not gonna say anything because you have to
tune into the video for the results let's do the results oh God now I'm
nervous I would be more nervous about this than me this is the one everybody wants to
win exactly this is the main competition of the weekend do you think bike weight matters
um I think potentially to some extent depending on the course and the terrain But ultimately I reckon
it's how the rider can handle and ride the bike and be together with all the equipment so they are
not fighting it but with the bike and controlling it and yeah what
they can do with numbers and power and equipment that is probably more important
I know now we've ridden up a volcano can we wear your bike I've got to lift it on
the back again now and you've got to lift it up to where it's really heavy
so this is a argon 18 e117 try but it's been pimped out a little bit and so hopefully not too
heavy 10.2 not bad let's get that off and do it again oh that is really heavy 9.53 that's better
question do you think bike matters for Iron Man for Iron Man no for climbing up a volcano yes
can we wear your bike Amy yeah we may wave my bike
you seem tired I don't know why you've got stuff he does
exactly sorry my bike is a canyon ultimate cfsl 8.0 7.84 basically a cheat code get in
