“I don’t want to use this f***ing bike!

Where does one sign up to get this terrible bicycle? Capital Cycles

It's true, you get used to stuff and then anything else feels alien. I run Shimano on all my bikes but my dad runs sram on his mtb. If trying his bike out I can see it's good (xx1 crankset as 1x10 with x9 clutch rear Mech) but it doesn't feel 'slick' like my XT kit with SLX shifters.

Must be even worse when you are on the bike all the time as a pro.

@Tony, I can believe that. As much as I like SRAM, Mark is known for being very precise about his kit. I suspect given the choice, he'd take a Venge with Dura-Ace Di2.

If SRAM can spend some time with him when he's calmed down, there could be an opportunity to improve the product with his input.

Well, talking to someone who'd been talking to Cav before the Tour started his unhappiness - back then at least - was not with the bike - which he has done rather well with in the past, but with SRAM Red and its shifting performance in particular

Bad workman! Haha!

He's just ultra-competitive, and everything will have to be just right. I imagine any tiny thing out of place can really get your blood up.

Does he want a Pinarello back?

i read elsewhere was that he was on standard brakes when he crashed, and switched to the hydro bike which was a spare. anyone know for sure which it was?
