Maybe I am looking in the wrong place, but there does not seem to be many/any images of team bikes before/after stages of the UAE tour, nor have I seen many close up side shots that could reveal next gen DA equipped bikes.robbosmans wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 10:36 amOf course the 12s groupset is currently being tested in the pro peloton

If you see "something" on a bike, I bet you will see it in the next races that come from the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad this Saturdayms6073 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 3:56 pmMaybe I am looking in the wrong place, but there does not seem to be many/any images of team bikes before/after stages of the UAE tour, nor have I seen many close up side shots that could reveal next gen DA equipped bikes.robbosmans wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 10:36 amOf course the 12s groupset is currently being tested in the pro peloton

Ok individual testing makes sense, otherwise there would have been more pics already like others have said
I Keep repeating it... Ineos and Pinarello analysed that rim brake were more performant. Plain and simple, quoting a Pinarello eng. “we are here to win the tdf, we let the marketing to others”. The weight story is typical from them to divert attention.FlatlandClimber wrote:Pinarello has a Disc brake version, but the F12 is just too heavy for a GC bike with discs... So they have one, yes, but it just isn't interesting for Ineos.
Closing the off topic... we can resume speculating on nothing.

Pinarello is so honest! 99% the F14 is going to be Disc only?C36 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 7:08 pmI Keep repeating it... Ineos and Pinarello analysed that rim brake were more performant.
