Bicycle brake toe-in with James May from Top Gear

[Michael Morrissey]

Hi,

Perhaps there are some fans of Top Gear from BBC on this board. Here is a great video with James May explaining toe-in on his road bike:

If you've got time in quarantine, you may also like his shows "The Reassembler" in which he builds common items from parts in real time, and his show "Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure", in which he talks about grapes.

There's something making my mind explode about a man standing in front a Ferrari working on a bike with 105. But maybe that's just to say 105 is really amazing and rim brakes are still king :)

May does a good job explaining things, even to pillocks. In my work I often have to "translate" reams of technical gobbledygook not only into ordinary language, but into 2-line sentences, and I do appreciate the language -- or better, conceptual -- skill of explaining complexities clearly and concisely. It's not a common skill!
