Overview
Guido Rubino, one of the most authoritative voices in the cycling world through the renowned website Cyclinside, guides the reader in discovering the frame, materials, components, setups, and geometries that are fundamental to a proper and thorough understanding of the racing bicycle.
Even though riding a bicycle is almost instinctive, the technological evolution of the racing bicycle in recent decades requires specific skills that must be learned. In recent years, the racing bicycle has increasingly become an object of desire, both due to the diversification of models (from road bikes to gravel bikes, including time trial and cyclocross bikes) and the introduction of E-Road and E-Gravel bikes, which have expanded the number of riders and routes.
Once in the saddle, it is necessary to learn not only about oneself but also about gear ratios, how to ride on different routes, and how to manage the bike’s behavior under various stresses, in order to ride safely and enjoyably.
The book is complemented by technical illustrations and over 200 photographs.
