Fenella Langridge's Trek Speed Concept

Originally published at: Fenella Langridge’s Trek Speed Concept - Slowtwitch News


Fenella is ready to rumble this Sunday on her trusted ride. I will say everything is pretty standard on this one. I mean, it is still a $13,000-$16,000 superbike (depending on how you choose to price it out), Except the one thing that sticks out to me was the front end. The Watt Shop setup looks like the combo of the Anemoi V1 and some new things that are not on their website yet or where. According to Langridge, some are new prototypes that should be standard soon. We have reached out to the company to confirm. She is one of many athletes looking to use a 2x drive chain for the hilly bike course. (Although the bike count will tell us more on that later).

GOOD VIBES ONLY seems to be the motto for this athlete.

Fenella says she is 100% recovered from the calf strain she suffered a little while back. She currently sits in 10th place in the IRONMAN Pro Series. If you haven’t done so already, you can follow Fenella here on the gram.

Is the 54/39 a standard SRAM-supported solution now?

Yeah > 50 outer rings are no longer ‘pro / sponsored’ only

You can now get: 52/39, 54/41 and 56/43

I got that, but is it really no longer limited by 13t difference?
ie, one can mix the 54 with the 39?

Will be a 54/41 - don’t think the FD would handle such a large difference in teeth

what is she using to mount the rear bottle cages?

Nah, they’re still the one piece chainring PM combo so you’re stuck with what they offer
