Geraint Thomas' Pinarello Dogma F Pro Bike | Tour De France 2024

[@gcntech]

What do you make of Geraint's Dogma F? 🔥

[@adadinthelifeofacyclist]

Whatever Ollie said. That's all I know about it 🤷‍♂️

[@AK-je7ns]

I think it’s hilarious they are riding on duff power meters.

[@leerichy6489]

Very nice, young persons bike. Must have run out of money and had to use a drop of Halfords 20/50 on the chain 😅

[@72Cowboy72]

Ollie says, "Waxed chain patrol, let's check. Oil...🤨 ...disappointing." LOL!

[@whynotride327]

I think bicycles do NOT have a cockpit.

[@tomdebaerdemaeker]

Hilarious to see Olli's face every time the chain appears to be oiled.

[@Eirikkinserdal]

If you have seen the way pro mechanics wash the bikes every single day. It's pretty violent. Tons of degreaser. Oil can be great, but it requires washing every day..

[@gcntech]

He does not like that 👀

[@robjohnston1114]

He's like a parent: "I'm not angry, just disappointed!"

[@forza1860muc]

Every Pro Team uses oil. Some may use wax for time trials but since they wash and degrease the bike every day anyway its just more convenient to stick to the known oil based lubes.

[@Eirikkinserdal]

And emergency in race lubrication (mechanic hanging out the window spraying the chain) just would work with wax 😅 but for the consumer and the increase in drivetrain lifespan it's worth it

[@TESTA-CC]

Oiled Chains Suffered on stage 9 gravel, by the end of it chains were filled with an oil sand paste where the dust stuck to the chain/oil basically like a cutting paste.

[@gcntech]

They don't ned to worry too much about that, new chains all around after the stage 🙌

[@TESTA-CC]

@@gcntech id expect the whole bike to be thrown in the bin after that stage to be perfectly honest with you.

[@Chiller11]

A beautiful bike. I’ll take mine in blue thank you very much.

Bit like this one? 👉kzbin.info/www/bejne/amnCi4SojdyebLM

[@robjohnston1114]

I concur

[@garyhocking6947]

Instead of disappointment about non-waxed chains, perhaps Ollie should talk to one of the mechanic about why they are using oil lube. My guess, since each bike is power washed after every stage, they don't have time to hot wax 24 chains every night (3 bikes x 8 riders). And probably don't have time to prep 504 chains before the tour (8 riders x 21 stages x 3 bikes).

[@madmick9205]

[@martinmorris6485]

nice ...interesting they are using 54 -40 rings ....some great features , am still catching up with all the latest tech , when i started riding way back in the eighties things were so different ha ha ha.....but yeah very tasty bike thanks for the tour hope he does well in the Tour

[@julianmorris9951]

I’ve actually gone back to that era with a steel olmo 53/39 and 23 as lowest gear in back, it’s so simple and cheap to maintain, it’s crazy to think they’re now riding with a 34 cassette!!!!!, I’d like a nice Pinarello but the price is eye watering and I’ve found my old olmo is making me work harder and I’m just as fast as on my carbon bike, hills are tougher though😊

[@AcousticJesta]

@@julianmorris9951 uumm have been using 11-27 11 speed and sticking with 50 -34 quite a few steepish hills on Dartmoor and my aging legs need a bit more care these days, but kind of get why they are using 54- 40 for fast flatter terrain and they are usually drafting in big groups, then they'd need 34 on the back to cope with some of the mountains ....tiz interesting though and lower /smaller gears on the block would make it much lighter , guess it's still trial and error , a bit like tubeless some times better but with these new TPU inner tubes it all changes yet again ....also liking using wider tyres very interesting that 30mm are more efficient and much more comfy ,which is more of an issue to my old bones.

[@miguelrodriguesserra1895]

You guys could make also a video on the Cofidis Look 795 Blade RS with the new cool white paint...

[@impaledface7694]

Continental has done a similar blacked out logo on their gatorskins "black" edition. Probably used the same tech to do it on this. I like to be able to read the logo and lettering. Some conti tires are quite hard to read.

[@mattdavis855]

Can't believe Ineos let you film the bike!

[@gcntech]

We have steady hands 👀

[@Chiller11]

They spend hundreds of thousands sponsoring Ineos to sell these bikes to lawyers and doctors who dress in their weekend Lycra. By letting GCN film the bike they are getting a ton of free marketing. Well not free because I think they sponsor GCN as well but they get tens of thousands of views on their product. Hell I want one, I don’t cycle anymore but I still want one. PS I’ll take mine in blue.

I am sure that Continental can supply tires with the labels on, and I am sure the team can black the labels out if Continental don't furnish them with a free supply of tyres.

[@JMcLeodKC711]

The logo blacking out has to do with who is paying for the tires. My guess is that Ineos is paying for those tires out of their pockets therefore Ineos will not provide FREE advertisement. Find out who their tire sponsor REALLY is. Having said that, no mistaking that tread pattern (such that is is).

[@Timtimzi]

I can’t tell but is he using a direct mount hanger ?

[@Big_Island_Boi]

Is Geraint even riding in the 2024 Tour? I have not seen him in one single highlight reel so far... and he's not in GC contention... so I assumed he was not riding in this year's Tour for some reason.

[@cd0u50c9]

Frankly, it looks like it's been in a crash and as a consequence they wanted to fix it but ran out of materials for the chainstays and paint to finish the orange paintjob.. The Dogma was never the prettiest bike out there, but the old Dogmas had a logic to the design, but this one escapes me. GCN, if you get a hold of the Enve bike, now that one would be worth a video!

[@paulgrimshaw8334]

Given all the “games” in cycling (including head games), it wouldn’t surprise me if bikes making it to journalists contained a few things that wouldn’t be run in actual competition. I mean, if you were a competitive cyclist operating at that level, would you let a bunch of strangers have at your bike while you were dozing off in the team van? A bike that you’d be running the next day (or any non-training day)? Probably not. But your sponsor might like to prep a “press bike” for marketing purposes. Just sayin…

[@bengt_axle]

So now you're comparing stem lengths and Gerraint's is 10 mm longer.

[@andrewreid380]

Olly saids 185cm, Simon says 185cm. Simons alway's clearly taller next to Olly. What's going on there?

[@rappide]

I see marketing guys pushing tubeless everywhere. Does any team still use tubulars? :)

[@bradrogers2427]

I don't think there are any teams still running tubulars in the TDF. I think there was a team or two that ran them in the classics. I think some of the Specialized teams have been running Turbo Cotton clinchers with latex tubes. Tubulars are slower than modern tubeless or clinchers

After a wait of eight months, finally received my (2013/2014) Dogma F frameset in speedster silver. Built it up with Campagnolo Super Record wireless components and Campagnolo Shamal carbon wheels. Vittoria Corsa N.EXT 700 x 28 tubeless tyres. The more I look at my new bike, the more beautiful I think it looks. The technology and form of bikes has evolved enormously in the last twenty years. When I was a teenager in 1970, I was bicycling across Europe, staying in Youth Hostels. There is no way I would want to do any serious cycling now at my advanced age on the Peugeot or Gitaine of my youth. I hope (and God willing) to still be enjoying riding my Dogma F twenty years from now.

[@livegamingyt2833]

agree

[@liamc8085]

It's pretty impossible to get away with those motors in a race as huge as the TDF. The UCI/TDF organizers have thermal cameras and magnetic testing. Also the top stage winner bikes all get x rayed tested for motors. It would be far easier to get away with expensive untestable designer PEDs in such a large event. Motors would work better for more amateur events where there is far less scrutiny.
