The crank is what I imagine would result from one designer describing the new Shimano Dura Ace crank to another over a bad phone connection. And that Dura Ace crank is ugly to begin with.

HA!! Could totally see that happening. Amazingly, it's Italy that does all the design work. That's actually where their headquartered. But given my past experience working for northern Italians, Yeah, i could see it happening.

This is YUUUGE!
(but is it correct? FSA website says 40-50mm reach....not 57) Quote:

If a standard brake has a range of 40-50mm in the brake arms alone, you don't need much in the pivot bolt to get to 57mm. I'll measure and post a picture tomorrow. |

Ear derailleur looks pretty nice, the shifters look pretty good as well.
The front derailleur looks okay, that module is pretty small for a brain box all things considered. If it works well and is price competitive it will shut a lot of traps, it's not like the new campy or shimano didn't take some getting used to. I hope the cassette comes in lots of good ratios, what will be the max cog size on the cassette?

The FSA site shows that the cassette will be available in 11-25, 11-28, and 11-32. Not lots of ratios, but reasonable for launch I'd say.

Correct Peter. It's wireless for the shifters and only has a small amount of wiring exposed to the front and rear derailleur. I would bet most of the damage to EPS or Di2 is to the wires around the headtube area. Especially during shipping. And it means a ton of extra routing of wires. This has just two wires.

I think the next gig with shimano and electronic is a 'smart' front der ala XTR..with one shifter(rear) and a programed front der w/o a shifter. Wireless? I don;t see it from shimano or Campag. Neither see any advantage except for setup..and I doubt they care much about that. Particularly shimano. If they don't see the 'advantage' they don't do it..carbon cranks, BB30 cranks, a good example. BUT seeing some of the 2018 pro tour bikes with hydro disc setups with internal hydro lines..bet the wrench-force are 'lovin' that... Everything inside..

that's pretty much how 99.9% of modern CF cranks are made. the days of woven CF cranks are history.
great post, thx for sharing! |
