With an eye towards 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Paris-Roubaix, Team Sky's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ian Stannard raced a hydraulic rear suspension ജsystem with a HiRide autom❀atic lockout control system affixed inside the seat tube of his Pinarello Dogma K8-S.

The 🔥Dogma K8-S🏅 first launched at the 2015 Tour of Flanders, featuring interchangeable elastomers as the method of suspension control. Various Team Sky riders have used the bike since, some opting for firmer elastomers, and then some r🌃acing the K8, which has the same frame shape but no suspension.

There are two unique things about Stannard's K8-S. One, the hydraulic shock is a much more advanced system than a simple elastomer, albeit h♌eavier. And two, the HiRide suspension adjustment system is novel for a road bike, similar in concept if not execution to some adjustable mountain bike suspension designs (like Lapierre's E.I.) that automatically account for changes in terrain.

Domenico Borge♏se, co-founder and technical leader of HiRide, said that his company has been working with Team Sky for a year and a half on the project. An announcement on the technology is expected Friday from Pinarello and HiRide.

While the manual remo🐲te works, Borgese said Stannard preferred to just use the automatic mode, where a six-axis accelerometer/gyroscope senses changes in the road surface and adjust🐼s the shock.

"In 0.4 seconds it goes from completely locked out, for normal road surfaces, to completely soft, as when he first hits the cobbles," Borgese told BikeRadar.

The sensor unit is attaꦕched inside Stannard's Dogma K8-S seat tube, affixed via the🐷 water bottle cage bolt threads.

Team Sky mechanic Ryan Bonser said𒁃 Stannard and the team had only been tryi🐲ng the new automatic system for the last few days.

Other Sky riders at Scheldeprijs were on normal K8 bikes and Dogma F10s. As with other teams, Sky riders at Scheld꧙eprijs were on a mix of normal race bikes for the day and Paris-Roubaix bikes (except for the tubulars) in preparation of Sunday.

Pinarello recently announced plans for anti-lock brake system with BluBrake that uses sensors integrated into the frame to help modulate hard braking. That design — which Pinarello said could launch later this year — has a very simi🥂lar looking bar-mounted remote to this HiRide system.

A few Specialized-sponsored riders will be raꦿcing the California company's new front-suspension bike, the Roubaix, at Paris-Roubaix. That system uses a spring cartridge underneath the stem, suspending the handlebar.

The Future Shock can be tuned with a change in spring stiffness, but isn't tunable on 🅠the fly, nor can it lock out. World champion Peter Sagan and multi-time Roubaix winner Tom Boonen both have rim-brake Roubaix bikes with very stiff springs in their Future 𓂃Shocks.
