If I have five minutes while I'm getting dressed or something, why not watch a video? Or listen to a song? I don't have cable, or I'd pop that song for a bit too, probably.

These vids are only like five minutes when you take out the 'Like/subscribe/noncontent' stuff.
Again, I'm sorry you dress like you wanna be in a pitcrew. Life's enjoyable when you can slow down a bit.

I don't generally like to listen to my music first thing in the morning.

GCN has some of the worst instructional videos I've ever seen. They focus way too much on getting pretty camera angles and they seem like they're rushing the video. RJ the Bike Guy is the way to go if you actually want to learn about bike repair.

Plus their videos are hard to relate to for anyone who doesn't ride a brand new carbon fiber road bike with disc brakes, electronic shifting, and deep section carbon rims.

If I didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't listen.
There are some channels that I enjoy much more, and would want to give my full attention. But, those channels tend to do 10 or 20min+ vids, so I would rather save those for later.

I'm a really big movie fan, but sometimes I have South Park or whatever's on Comedy Central on while I'm cooking.
Does that bother you too, sperg?

I didn't say it was shit.
Does it have a clickbait title? Yes, but I'm on the internet and I expect that. I've seen enough of the channels material to know what I'm actually getting based off what the title says. If using your head pisses you off, sorry.
As far as obvious things go, yeah, but I still enjoy hearing about it, and like others have said, the guys as personable and I enjoy their spin on it. I like to watch Vice Guide to Film, and yet I've read huge books about movies and seen countless video essays and documentaries about them.

Surface knowledge isn't bad, it's surface.

This a bit. I feel like a video titled "What Majorca villa should you buy to best store your 10.000€ garbon bike on vacation" wouldn't be out of the question.

There are tons of older guys who have small channels with tons of maintenance videos that aren't too hard to find.

I'm brand new to road riding and just got my first bike. I saw in one of these guys videos about gears it said you shouldn't use your larger gear, the one on the pedals, but use the inside smaller one. I got a specialized diverge A1 and only have two gears on my pedals and have been doing mostly flat land riding with some very slight hills. Should I follow that about not using the larger gear or is it kind of bullshit?

Yeah, I don't think they would ever say not to use your big ring. I believe in some videos they say not to use it all the time, because that's why you have two, to keep your cadence at a speed that you can sustain.

Yes, there is science behind high cadence. You're more efficient per unit of oxygen and lactic acid build-up is less of a problem. Everyone has a personal comfort cadence interval, but everyone is more efficient at the upper, less comfortable end of this range. The common rookie mistake is way to low cadence. A cadence of 80 isn't even high.

Can confirm, was a low rpm grinding big ring pleb. Stretched many a chain and diveted many a freehub body. I have a higher cadence now (living at altitude really beat that into me) but even by those standards I have a low rpm (usually 80-95)
