How I Made My Bike Crazy Light

Video Description

Ollie Bridgewood’s just made his Orbea Orca even lighter — and it’s now officially UCI illegal. 😅 In this video, he takes you through every modification he’s made to it and how much weight each one saves. Plus, to make things more interesting, this isn’t just an impractical weight-weenie build. It’s a fully functional, practical road bike, that's of a spec & build that COULD actually win the Tour de France!🚴‍♂️💨 Maybe just with a different rider! 🤭 ⏱️ Timestamps: ⏱️ 00:00 Ollie's super light Orbea Orca 🔥 00:46 Ollie's First Thoughts on the Bike 02:09 Wheels, Freehub Sound Check & Weight Savings 04:23 Tyres & Tubes 06:22 Cockpit 07:45 Saddle & Seatpost 09:50 Bottle Cages 10:51 Crankset, Chainrings & Cassette 12:33 Pedals Useful Links: GCN Tech Uploader 👉 https://gcn.eu/techuploader Subscribe so you don’t miss a thing 👉 https://gcntech.co/subscribe Insurance: Viewers in the USA and UK can explore GCN Insurance products 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNinsurance Sign Up To The GCN Newsletter 👉 https://gcn.eu/Newsletter Visit the GCN Shop 👉 https://gcn.eu/gcnshop GCN WhatsApp Channel 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNwhatsapp GCN Instagram Broadcast Channel 👉 https://gcn.eu/instagrambroadcast Join the GCN Club on Zwift and ride with us! 👉 https://gcn.eu/GCNClubRides What do you think of Ollie's bike? 🔥 Watch more on GCN Tech... 📹 Tech I Used To Finish 4th At The UK’s Toughest Gran Fondo 👉 https://youtu.be/GcsukomJCtQ?si=-RDbaKt2t7EIt4kd 📹 Watch our Editor’s Choice Playlist 👉 https://gcntech.co/EditorsChoice 📹 Watch the latest GCN Tech Show 👉 https://gcntech.co/GCNTechShow 🎵 Music - licensed by Epidemic Sound 🎵 Back at It - Dyalla Boiler - Damma Beatz Bowery - Dylan Sitts Nonstop - dozeoff Prodigy Vision - Dylan Sitts #gcntech #gcn #cycling #roadcycling #roadbike #bike #bikes #bikelife #biketech #lightweight #lightbike #performance #tourdefrance #wheels #aero #saddle 📸 Photos - © Velo Collection (TDW) / Getty Images & © Sprint Cycling Agency Brought to you by the world’s biggest cycling channel, the Global Cycling Network (GCN), GCN Tech is the only channel you need for all things bike tech – past, present and future.
