What's going on with this dudes shoes?
I've never rode track so maybe it's a track thing, but what the heck kind of shoes is this guy wearing at 7:42? Adidas obviously but they don't look like anything I've seen, they look like street shoes. Again, sorry if this is obvious, just have never seen these kicks before. Kind of really dig them...

Probably some vintage track racing shoes that were likely extremely limited production.

What about what he has on his feet at 6:28? EPIC !!!

More seriously, why didn't they install a 3" diameter roller horizontally across the back of the car's bumper? That would have made it less of an issue if they touched accidentally.

Assuming it was a 10-tooth cog, 104 / 10 = 10.4 wheel revolutions per crank revolution!

Compared to my puny 52 / 12 = 4.333

I thought I heard him say 13t but I could be mistaken.

I missed that. I wonder why they didn't go with a smaller cog and therefore not have to go with such a monster chainring? (bigger is more efficient)

Re: cog - I don't think I've ever seen a track hub that can take smaller than 13t. That's probably the limiting factor there
