Rule Breakers: How Do Pro Cyclists Fool The UCI? | GCN Tech Show Ep. 271 - Video

Pro cyclists are always looking to gain every legal advantage possible, which means stretching the rules to the max! On this week’s show, we discuss different UCI rule loopholes, or, ahem, “reach-arounds” if you’re Ollie, including narrow handlebars, crotchless aero pants and more! We also look at the world’s shortest cranks and a do-it-all utility bike from Specialized.
