The only "tech" if have is my old Ridley Fenix that is/was marketed as "classics" bike and actually developed for Lotto Soudal/Destiny over 10 years ago because they had demand for a cobble-friendly endurance bike. However, I think they haven't been using it for couple of years there and just go with their brand's aero bike.

@DoNuT_1985 exactly. New tech doesn't always mean better or advanced. I borrowed a specialized roubaix 2014 before, and have also owned a giant tcr 2012. It might be different when a bike and rider are pushed as hard as on the Paris roubaix, but I found the only thing that made a real difference is tyre pressure. (Also, my tcr weighed in at 7.1kg with pedals, so latest tech isn't always lighter either).

@maxlloyd3740 it could well be a real world advantage to tubeless road tyres. I've ran some mavic ksyrium ust rims and yksion tyres before at 60ish psi, and they felt firm but subtle at the same time. Never had a flat tyre either, and living in the UK, shit just finds your tyres usually. 👍

I hope the rest of the cycling world (re-)learns this, like they are (re-)learning about wide supple tires and waxed chains. It is something that is easily experienced -- try an Ultegra 'Junior' 14-28 cassette and larger rings to get the same overall ratios but much smoother feel. The efficiency improvement is MUCH larger than using overpriced derailleur pulleys. As a bonus, the rings, cogs, and chains last longer.

Last year we at least got some crumbles of new stuff even if it never hit the consumer market. Compared to the hefty amount of new stuff we got in gravel racing here in the States means that most of the "trends" and nifty tech stuff has been shifted to other disciplines mainly gravel riding/racing in the states where you don't need to focus on those fine details for those precious UCI points and can show off with other like-minded people to see those trends. Where you can get away with showing off newer tech in the namesake of consumer loyalty rather than these "races" that regulars can't even begin to have correlation to.

@l.d.t.63278 ай бұрын
aero wheels in the back spin faster, even without any beneficial effect with regards to catching frontal / side wind. That's because of less spokes and more rim height so less turbulence created by the wheel itself turning. And higher wheels are in general a bit stiffer (sideways), so easier to accelerate.

" I ride 40's @ 40psi for the heavenly sweetspot of 1psi per 1mm of tyre. It goes so well with my Specialized 7000 Aero Discmatron 16 casette artificial intelligence Sram Re'tard tap system. With a weight of 5.1kg and a price of less than £16,000 I think it is amazing value for 2030. For reference, name is Stuart, and I am 51, 15 stone (after my meaty and beery morning dump) and have recently got into cycling"

Hookless 🤢 Teams are using hookless because they are sponsored to do so. Hookless exists to reduce manufacturing costs and increase profits.
