I was reading about that bottom bracket design and wondered about this. I thought the frame was supposed to be more aero, but having a massive, wide down tube sure wouldn’t seem consistent with that.
Aren’t Cannondale and the other manufacturers going away from the large tubes? I thought I read that somewhere.
So, you’re telling me that if I somehow bend my RD hanger (A VERY common occurrence) I need to send the bike/frame back to Trek. That alone would negate me buying one. Seriously, that’s absurd.
Puts anything else Trek to shame. Most other bikes as well, and I have ridden just about everything out there. Super quick and responsive. Feels pounds lighter than it is. More details to follow.
Ultegra SL is like Ultegra 6600… just a different finish and some additional milling to reduce weight. Dura-Ace is still Dura-Ace
Bent hangers can be straightened… broken ones get sent to Trek.
Glad you like the bike. The new Ultegra SL is just 100 grams lighter with a new finish. Most of that weight comes off in the levers with some additional aluminum. The bikes ride awesome. Much stiffer than the previous madone. I have been on one for several months with no complaints. Very stiff headtube and bb. Did you install the rear brake noodle?
