I know in the past it was no secret that riders used different bikes and equipment and painted the bikes with the team name, etc. Lance has used Litespeeds in the past and now it’s great it looks like exclusively Trek which is an awesome bike. My question is what wheels does lance and/or Discovery use during the stages. I had read in the past that he had a problem with the paired Rolfs at one time and used Mavic from then on with Rolf or Bontrager stickers on them. Now it looks official that Hed is teamed up with Trek & Bontrager for the teams TT wheels which is great. Again, I know Lance and some other riders have used the “Lightweight” wheels for uphill TT and climbs. Will Lance actually use Bontrager paired spoke wheels? Also the Postal Team had used Deda bar and stem combos for a long time. Are these real Bontrager/Trek bars and stems too? Lance always seems to be at the cutting edge. Are these wheels they will use Bontrager, Mavic, Lightweight or Hed?
