The athletes of Team Liquigas-Doimo for time trials, adopt the model Cannondale Slice Hi Mod. The frame is a monocoque construction with high modulus carbon; the head tube is short, but not as well as other achievements. The fork is always in high modulus carbon monocoque, dedicated to this model and airfoil of tubes, the brake is positioned in front, in the classic position. The down tube has aerodynamic section and is designed for internal cable, joins the bottom bracket area with wide struts. The BB30 bottom bracket is kind and is coupled to a crank Hollowgram Cannondale BB30 SL, combined with crowns FSA. Almost all athletes use an RMS power detector, coupled always Cannondale crankset. The tube is a good size, wide and flat, and joins the impressive pipe, aerodynamic profile. Dedicated to the carbon seat post, which continues the profile of the tube. The rear take the tubes according SAVE Cannondale, which allows you to have a good vibration absorption, coupled with excellent rigidity. Note that the pipes are joined at the top of the cart with a large area vertical pipe struts. Also the traditional position of rear brake on the wheel. The bike is then completed with the saddle Fi'zi:k and areo-bar Vision, as well as the brake levers. The group has adopted specifically for the Campagnolo Record time trial and again at 10 speed, with controls, rear and front derailleur, sprocket, brakes and chain. Speedplay pedals. The wheels are Mavic with a lenticular rear wheel and high or very high profile front, but, of course, vary depending on weather conditions and location. Bottle cage is Elite carbon, but not the specific model for the time trial bike. A bike that stands out for aesthetic and refined conformation of the frame is a very classic bikes, why not terribly efficient, rigid and lightweight. That is very competitive and I received the favorable opinion of the athletes.
