Yeah, GCN's Jon had an appreciation for retro and was open to learning new stuff about old tech when it turned out he was wrong in a video.

GCN has rarely done a proper comparison in their many retro vs contemporary videos. But at least those are harmless, entertaining and may pique the curiosity of younger viewers to give retro a try.

But modding an old fork this way is a big yikes.

And I hope they don't convince Manon to try this bike. Bad enough they haven't given her a fair shake in those recent super aero recumbent bike "tests." They should be doing time trials over 30-60 minutes, not sprints. And put some decent tires on that recumbent. Last time I checked the closeups, that super aero recumbent was hobbled with rigid, heavy Continental Sport Contact or similar tires best suited to puncture resistant touring and commuter rides. Meanwhile Simon is riding a tarted up full zoot aero TT bike with the best tires, over relatively short distance/duration rides.
