A professional cyclist team goes over to the monoplate. Will we see the pros of the triathlon doing the same?
The team that is looking for invited for the Giro and the Tour de France wants to reaffirm the monoplate technology and that it will be the great revolution in road cycling.
The thorough cycling magazine tells us that the Irish professional team Aqua Blue will become the first team in history in competing at the highest level with a single-seat bicycle. It will be with the 3T Strada, which will be equipped with the SRAM Force 1 group.
It is a revolutionary aero bicycle that has been conceived to be assembled with a monoplate group, disc brakes and covers of 28 mm.
The Irish team, which competed in the last edition of the Vuelta a España and achieved a stage win thanks to Stefan Denifl in Los Machucos, is committed to innovation and They believe that this model offers full guarantees to cover the highest level cycling calendar.
Without going any further, there are many rumors that Aqua Blue intends to fight hard to get an invitation to dispute both the Tour of Italy and the Tour de France, where they want to reaffirm that the monoplate technology has come to stay and will be the protagonist of the next great revolution in road cycling.
In its catalog, SRAM has the Cassette PG-1170 of 11 speeds allowing 11 × 32 and 11 × 36 options, and they even offer the possibility of using the MTB cassettes 10 × 42, although for this it is necessary to have a wheel compatible with the XD core.
These options significantly expand the range of developments with respect to what we usually find on the road and would allow us to deal with the Aqua Blue much better with stages with a large gap.
The problem that is born to consequences is the great jump that occurs between crowns, for which at the moment there seems to be no solution because there is no more news about the speculations that spoke of a possible launch of a group of 12 speeds to minimize this problem.
There are no previous results.
