    What do you make of Arnaud De Lie's rocket ship? 🚀
  • @kiwibiker9754
    That Orbea is one of the most beautiful new bikes I've seen in a while.
  • @thebelly925
    How much is Si shaking his head at the use of zip ties for the transponder mount? LoL
  • @timetrialist
    We need more Probike videos like these, its the reason I got into cycling and GCN
  • All is talking about shorter cranks, I used al lengths, so it Would be Nice if you could test the difference in power between à short and à longer. My opinion, shorter is smoother, brings your behind higher for the aero and more cadence is more easy… but power is way higher with longer ones, so my opinion, depends what is your goal, sprint or mountain, would be nice if you could test this
  • @sidiastor9091
    Ya know- it sometimes seems cruel to be shown all these nice bikes. However, being able to see them up close, touch them even and still not being allowed to just ride away with them…now, thats harsh! Right, Ollie?! 😅
  • @treyquattro
    "are the brakes the wrong way around? Of course they are." But are they? Strikes me that having the front brake on the left is better for hoses and the hydraulic system - hydraulic fluid would have further to go if reversed. What say?
  • @hmudesign
    Beautiful. Looks like he has a mixed Dura Ace / Ultegra cassette, large sprockets DA and below the middle Ultegra or such, a little bit rusty :)
  • @SpockCycles
    Id definitely swap that Orbea for my Peugeot Perthus Pro 😁🖖
  • @iansingleton
    Do the team mechanics have loads of pre-prepared chains of different lengths ready to quickly fit to a bike if they need to change the cassette? Going from a 30 to 34 will require a different length chain, times this by 8 riders plus spare bikes that's a lot of chains! I can't imagine they put a new one on each time. Budgets are tight! They wouldn't throw away 32 chains after say a 180km sprint stage just cos tomorrow is a mountain stage.
  • The brakes are the correct way round. Left = front Right = rear.
  • @zeult
    There are two ways and two brakes, the right way is the one you want! Still, I saw "reversed" routing (in my perspective: right lever to front brake) only on old british bikes... Do you still do it?
  • @t3KJolly
    shims on the paddle axle for bigger q-factor?
  • Apparently, Arnaud's teammate Victor Campenearts will stick to the Orca Aero through the whole TDF foregoing the climbing Orca. Just not enough benefit wondering if Di Lie will do the same.
  • Remember when bikes where total pro , unique and spectacular but we got to progress somehow
