Tom Pidcock's Pinarello Dogma F12 X Light | British Talent's Classic Winning Race Bike

Tom Pidcock has set the 2021 racing season on fire - on road as well as off! Before winning Gold at the Tokyo Olympics on his mountain bike, Tom picked up some great results at the spring classics - even winning Brabantse Pijl from Wout Van Aert! This is the Pinarello Dogma F12 X light Tom rode for the first half of this season, before moving to the updated Dogma F, which he'll ride at the upcoming Vuelta a España: his maiden Grand Tour!
Do you think Tom will win a stage at the Vuelta? Should he focus entirely on the road or continue racing CX & MTB, too? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

So you never rided real bike yeah😂😂

[@kuddin9021]

No mention of frame size?

[@WLRKldn]

@@The86rick Not particularly, with 60mm deep wheels and being 80g over the legal limit. Generally even the lightest pro bikes will be that much heavier than the limitin case of scale fault, sort of like a margin of error.

[@ygtcbee23]

Rim Brakes!

This is bike of my dreams acutely it is completely according to my body size I have Scott CR1 equipment is Shimano Dur Ace full group set as well with same measurements

He will be on a Dogma F now, so it probably is a stretch.

@@matthewlewis2072 if you are implying that disk brakes are progress than explain the extra mass, special tool requirements, rubbing, squealing, whole bike exchanges vs. simply exchanging a wheel, extra spokes, heavier wheels, and heavier uncymetrical frames.

[@Wiroe]

QR axles in 2021? As an MTBer myself I’m surprised QR it still used on these high-end bikes

[@mateusalves9436]

they're much easier to live with and service.

[@ygtcbee23]

When you puncture, Quick releases are much easier to get a spare tire without tools. This openes possibility of help from neutral service, team cars, and strategically placed staff ( think Paris Roubaix). Teams on disk brakes and through axles need a whole bike exchange for a simple puncture. Road racing is different worlds from MTB. The Quick release does it's job.

[@jkk916]

QR does its job and it does its job better than thru axles.

[@Wiroe]

Alright, I guess these bike don’t go through as much pressure/force in that area, obviously

[@jkk916]

@@Wiroe Sole purpose of QR is to provide clamping force, other forces should go through fork and hub.

How come he isn’t using the Dogma F?

I read the description, he is now. I was wondering where the Dogma F was too. Ew! It has big heavy disks on it. Yuk!

#rimbrakedefenceforce

[@ygtcbee23]

What's interesting Ineos a team with reputation and budget to adopt new technology first for marginal gains performance has decided to stay with rim brakes and be the last hold out on the Pro peloton. That says says it all about disk brake "advantage" on road bikes.

[@raphaeltiziani7476]

finally a light pro bike again. Why should a pro want to ride a 8 kg beast? Would disadvantage him so much on steep climbs.

[@rrosomasa]

I have stiffness in key areas… 😉

[@daviddalisay947]

@Durianrider

[@marcelr.9035]

6.88kg full aero bike, as every bike in the peloton should be

[@HeySers]

Pogacar also used Rim Brakes on his bike during TdF, Ineos isn‘t the only team

[@yangzhao7755]

……and Richie Porte's Dogma F weights at 7.2kg, and Pinarelo claims Dogma F is lighter😅

[@poeltlpower1880]

Porte's bike likely had additional mass added, considering the weight difference between the sponsor correct C60 wheels that were shown in the video, and the wheels he actually used for most of the race Princeton Carbonworks 4540's just so happened to get it right to the UCI weight limit.

[@OFFSHOREDOUG]

Ported bike might be bigger. This is tiny.

[@yoroshikune08]

I would like to know how much this particular setup cost? Complete bike build I mean.. Thanks.

[@Wildschwein_Jaeger]

If you have to ask. You probably can't afford it. 😕

[@phuphan913]

Why is tom riding the f12 but not the f

[@jaimeizreal8810]

This was his old bike he used earlier in the 2021 season. He now has to ride an "updated" disk brake version called the Dogma F. Yuk!

[@OFFSHOREDOUG]

@@jaimeizreal8810 you get the f12 with rim brakes.

The thing Ineos (& previously Sky) seem to lack is bike and kit design imagination. Dull bike and kit scheme & colors. Money can't buy beauty I guess!

Logical fallacy Ad hominem argument.

[@Wildschwein_Jaeger]

INEOS is not the only pro team using rim brakes.

[@Wildschwein_Jaeger]

Well there you go.

[@philippbeckonert1678]

: So the presenter likes the glued bartape but fails to realize the superiority of rim brakes for professional road bike riders :D

[@coldforgedcowboy]

@GCN Racing... Had Tom Pidcock had disc brakes on his road bike he probably would have won the Tour de France. Just look what he did with disc brakes at the Olympics!

[@schschsch2642]

Kid size bike huh

[@graememorrison333]

Kid sized rider. Much, much faster than you though! (I admit it is tiny. Pidders is roughly 170cm and that 46.5cm frame only has a 515mm tt. So with a 110mm stem that's still a short reach.)

[@schschsch2642]

@@graememorrison333 For sure, I'm over 190cm

[@VIEultimate]

@@graememorrison333 Very late to this conversation, but IMO that's just about the right measure for people around our height (me being 1.68m in height). I have a road bike with about 520mm ett, I use 100mm -17deg stem with a cm or two of spacer underneath, and it feels like the right setup for more aggressive rides.

[@graememorrison333]

@@VIEultimate wow, that's a real 'race fit'! My bikes are generally 54cm TT with an 11cm stem (and 70.5cm saddle height).

[@VIEultimate]

@@graememorrison333 you must have a much longer upper body (+few cm longer lower body) than me. I can't even comfortably ride a bike with 54cm ett with ~10cm stem. Even the 52cm ett + 10cm stem gets uncomfortable for me after 3.5hrs (most likely down to not being fit enough)
