I also think that 3T Strada has stupid geometry that doesn't make sense from a fit standpoint or a parts compatibility standpoint. But the issue here is with a team that said yes to a bike sponsor that locked them into a poor gear selection with no alternative. I feel bad for the racers. To put in as much training and work as these guys do only to have to ride something that puts them at a disadvantage must be heartbreaking. Any other bike and they could toss on some Yaw FDs and a double chainring crank and put this issue to bed.

Sums it up..too bad we don't really know anymore than a guy chucked his chain, it hurt his results, the team and management aren't happy with the equipment and it's gonna be a long year for them..I'm still kinda mystified, after having the frames and groups for more than 5 months, these 'issues' haven't been sorted somehow by 3T and/or sram. Ya gotta believe that sram/3T has a team of mechs and truck full of spares to prevent the team from slamming their stuff. Yet..
