Eddy Merckx's phenomenal hour record set in 1972 was set on a steel-framed, drop handlebar bike with shallow aluminium wheels. But for Ollie to surpass the mark laid down by arguably the greatest rider of all time he's going to need all the help he can get. In this video, we take a look at his ultra-slick BMC Track Machine in all it's aerodynamic glory - will he ride this machine to glory in his hour record attempt?...

This week we're asking if the success of the Decathlon AG2R team this year is down to their new Van Rysel bikes - which sold out immediately! Join Alex & Ollie as they dive into the debate.
Why are UK brakes set-up so weird? Can I still climb with narrow handlebars? If I leave my bike with the chain lube evaporating? All these bike tech questions and more are answered in this week's GCN Tech Clinic.
Do you want to save money? Yeah, we thought so! This simple chain-checking technique will save you money, hassle, and future headaches. Join Ollie as they take you through this easy way to check your bike's chain wear. Catch a worn chain early, and you'll save yourself money in the long run. The only thing left to do is grab your bike, find your chain checker, and follow along!
Last week, Alex started to build his dream bike with an unlimited budget, using some of the most exclusive and beautiful parts, thanks to @CampagnoloSrl.
