Can you review the Mercedes F1 road bike
jeez Jimmi can get so fucking annoying sometimes
Armstrong's THE MOVE is just as boring…
How can you have 45k views and 41 likes ?
I think the problem they are facing is Amazon…people can find cycling gear cheaper there vs buying expensive clothing from Rapha. Rapha may make better stuff than what people can buy an Amazon…but it still cost more than what some riders are willing to buy.
If we count Concealing Fate by Tesseract as one song (albeit in 6 parts) that would be my choice…on a technicality. Evil question though!
Love your chats, I could listen and watch all day.. So laid back and funny as well. Excellent audio cause you use your microphones well and they are obviously good quality. Tanks Emily for your voice as it’s so warm and contrasts the guy’s so well
how did we not put Rapha in the over/under rated section!!
Chris frome,is using this as another excuse for his lack of performance, he must be not on his regular weatabix since his crash
So Jimmi walks around his house with some kind of audio constantly playing? Like a supermarket? Sounds nightmarish. Embrace the silence and your own thoughts dude 😂.
Tubular Bells – brilliant choice.
So is this it then, no more actual cycling videos?
Chris Froome is just full of excuses. There is no way that a guy with this many hours, miles and wins didn’t notice 3 cm difference. I oftentimes can notice if something slips millimeters
Close to the edge by Yes
Dirt is softer than tarmac. I always wear gloves on the road bike. I only wear gloves on wet days or somewhere rocky, never on smooth bikepark trails as I prefer the feel without gloving up.
Easy. Mars Volta – Cassandra Geminni. 32min.
Even before anyone said anything, I knew what my eternity song would be – and much to Francis' point, it's very long and repetitive, but evolves ever so slightly over 63 minutes of unadulterated, jizzy doom. It is, of course, the magnum opus that is Dopesmoker by Sleep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq1orMyzfE0&t=10s
operating at a loss is a tax strategy.
A professional bike fitting (same fitter as Rick Zabel) costs me 200€ – 300€, why is a team like Isreal Premier Tech not able to manage this, or is it just a stupid excuse?
Dolan 3D prints titanium parts since 2019. Chevkbthe ADX Titanium Ultegra models.
Rapha is now a fashion company. Fashion is a fickle thing. For example, look at their special collaborations that sell for full price and sell out in hours. The regular offerings languish and go on sale every other day, it seems. Personally, I love my older Rapha kit. The regular colours are timeless and the quality of the jerseys is top notch. Most of the designs they have now don’t seem worth the full price.
W the hell. A conventianal conversation b tween 2 guys , and from out of nowere comes Tracy Emins sister puttin in her 2 peneth. Could you please introduce yourselves at the begining to avoid confusion
Rapha going down.😂 Welcome to the fashion world. Thats what you get when you combine , high fashion with cycling gear. You eventually become yesterday’s skinny jeans. Plus your prices were outrageous. Good riddance.
I went and saw Wheatus in a small Dublin gig pub a few years ago it was an amazing show. Very much worth it!
Foam rollers and similar can be both good and bad. The problem is I’ve found when working with patients is that some people think they have to hurt themselves to make themselves better. That’s not to say that rolling, like other body work, isn’t sometimes uncomfortable. But there is a point where the amount of pressure being used becomes detrimental to what’s trying to be achieved.
Any links for Jimmy’s experimental metal pods?
So why is Bike Fit James right and Phil Burt (say) wrong? Asking for a friend.
It's not "cool" to wear no gloves, it is simply cold …..
I love how Emily has become more involved over time in the podcasts. She's great.
So when 3D printed bike parts are made way cheaper, bikes will become very cheap to buy. Not.
Everybody hates polyester. Which garment is not polyester?
Yeah look how much the tech advance of our society corresponded with the existence of car.
How can you be on a cycling podcast and only know something, possibly … about Froome maybe having a crash which might, possibly, somehow have affected his performance 😤
The entire Froome thing is a joke. Froome was finished after his accident. Froome won the Tour because of Team Sky. As a rider he was very limited, certainly not in the same class as Former champions
In the beginning Rapha Classic was the base line for the casual rider. It was “cheap” and good value for money. Now it’s too expensive compared to what you get.
Riding for fun around for hours is what zone 2 base miles really is.
Ok, so 3D printed parts are , according to Emily, way cheaper to produce. So, why will the bike cost waaaayyyyy more just because they have a “3D printed “ label attached. Most probable because some people are stupid enough to pay it? And example…the 50 thousand quid bike should be 25 if its 3D printed. No, it would be 75. This is for the average person just marketing BS. Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke.
Chrissfroom had a 3cm off disc , no wonders he had quite the hard time to get on with the rubbing
🤣🥸
RAPHA used to be ultra high quality Woolley style clothes and basically Saks 5th Ave price but too much PINK. Now, just everyday not so great.
There's nothing more boring than bikes put out by car brands.
Have you guys seen the BBC London news report on violent bike theft? 2 days ago. 700 thefts in the last 12 months where violence or threat of, has been used to take a bike from its rider in the street….
Guess what the met are doing?
Yep, sold all
Rapha is too woke….
Be interesting to see the breakdown with rapha. I bet they make more money selling coffee and cakes than bibs and jerseys. Not hating at all. They do great coffee and I wear there clobber.
I like Rapha's aesthetic. But every jersey I've bought from them, lycra or merino, has faded or changed shade in the NZ sun after a year or so. Also, where they used to deliver to me 2-3 days, it now takes 2+ weeks.
