During the Italian cyclocross championships, we had the opportunity to admire many bicycles up close. Among these, we were particularly intrigued by: la Trinx supplied with Eve LechnerWe had talked about this brand in a other article with Luca Bramati, which it is the Team leader and technical development collaborator.
More room for mud
Please remember that Trinx is not currently marketed in Europe, but is preparing to build a new factory, which will produce all the high-end products intended specifically for our markets.
We asked Luca Bramati to describe the Factory Team provided to Lechner.
«This bicycle is produced with Toray T1000 carbon – he begins to explain to us – they have They widened the rear carriage and removed the bridge between the two suspensions to facilitate mud disposal.. The front fork is also very wide for the same reason." You can see how the rear dropouts have a low attachment on the seat tube. This choice, which is very popular in modern bicycles, makes the rear end very compact and responsive.
Continuous evolution
As Bramati is keen to point out, The Chinese brand is very attentive to the development of bicyclesEngineers listen and quickly implement the suggestions that athletes, and he himself first, constantly provide them.
It is precisely thanks to this work that some interesting technical solutions have been adopted.
«They enlarged the upper steering bearing, which became as big as the one below. This way Both bearings are 1″-1/8 and managed to route the cables internally – Bramati adds – we will also adopt this solution on mountain bikes for the next Olympics."
Double crown
Among the features of the Lechner Trinx, we noticed the crankset with the double crown: «He prefers it this way – Bramati explains to us – because on certain faster courses, like the one in Lecce, she likes to use the 42 or 44 with which she can get more speed». For the sake of completeness, let's say that as the small chainring he uses the 38 with an 11-32 sprocket set.
Among other features we noticed that together with the group Shimano Dura Ace Di2, a rear rocker arm is used Ceramic Speed. As regards the crankset and the cranksets, products from the Easton, as well as for the handlebars and the stem. Moving on to the wheels, the South Tyrolean champion uses the Miche SWR which are supplied to the Team Star Casino for which he competes. For the tires, Lechner uses the Challenge, a brand widely used in cyclocross, obviously 33 millimeters.
