  1. Just some feedback on the filming part, while the bike presentation most of the close ups were not in focus. Otherwise interesting to see a Pro do his setup on his own.
    And i i might ask wich wax do you use?

  3. I use Vittoria corsa control 25mm for quite some time, but with inner tubes. Those are still my favourite. But this year I am determined to try tubeless, and I have a pair of Bora wheels that are tubeless ready, so after your no-nonsense approach, I feel I should give it a go! Same with waxing the chain: I usually degrease by putting them into a small container with degreaser, but I feel like it's not very environmental friendly. So I'll give the waxing a go as well!

  4. Hi Harry,
    I'm a 16 year old triathlete from AUS and i currently ride Giant Gavia 25mm tubeless. I would love to upgrade to some faster rubber and I know how fast Vittoria tyres are, Fingers Crossed

  6. Step 1: Remove disc brakes.
    Step 2: Drill holes in the frame and fork to re-install rim brakes.
    Step 3: Welcome back to the 6.8kg club

    My mate built up a 6.8kg road disc bike with pedals (Aethos) and I got to ride it down his street. Felt like a noodle compared to my 2013 Tarmac SL4 sram red I rode to his house on that is also 6.8kg and cost me literally 1kAUD. His decked out Aethos cost him 19k AUD and he has pre crash anxiety every time he rides it or thinks the chain might drop off which is unfortunately common with the new 12spd dura ace.

    That is a great view you have over the city and doors open would get good fresh air to help the lungs recover each day.
