used by his teammates. Trek intends the Domane as its 'endurance' machine for the cobbled classics with dedicated features such as detuned handling, a much lower bottom bracket, and the unique IsoSpeed 'decoupler' pivot at the seat tube-top tube junction that allows for an extraordinary amount of saddle movement.

This year's Tour de France tarmac obviously won't match the brutality of Paris-Roubaix's cobblestones but since Cancellara was intimately involved with the development of the Domane and has spent much of the early season on it (he 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:won Strade Bianche on one in early March), he's decided to stick with it for now. It's only marginally heavier than the Madone and 🍎virtually identical in terms of drivetrain efficiency so in reality, Cancellara is♒n't putting himself at an advantage regardless.

Consumers can purchase their own all-yellow Domane through Trek's Project One custom program but even then, it won't be quite the same chassis as what Cancellara rides. Team bikes feature specia๊l one-piece rear dropouts with non-replaceable derailleur hangers for improved shift accuracy and durability. Being a Radioshack-Nissan-Trek rider is also the only way to get a Domane with the lower, more aggressive 'pro-fit' front triangle, although Trek is obligated to release it to the public before the end of this calendar year.

Cancellara's build kit closely mirrors his everyday Domane, including a Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 mechanical group, SRM cranks, Schwalbe tires, Speedplay Zero pedals (ultralight Nanograms in this case), a Cane Creek headset, and Nokon cables and housing. The rest is filled out by Trek's Bontrager component arm: 50mm-deep carbon tubular whee𓆉ls, a Race Lite Anatomic aluminum handlebar, Race XXX Lit♍e molded carbon fiber stem, Team Issue saddle, and RXL carbon fiber bottle cages.
