      The Trek guys seemed uncomfortable and most definitely rude.
      Trek is one of the best bikes on the market designed for cyclists. There aren't many cyclists outputting the torque Elite Crossfit athletes can.
      However, those plastic pedals are junk and Trek should outfit the bike accessories to the athletes that are using them.

    The bike breaking thing: obviously CF isn’t going to say anything negative about their sponsor. Eubanks also does have a good point: a lot of these athletes are not used to “clipping in” where your foot is literally attached to the pedal. These CF people have some powerful ass legs and I believe they could rip a pedal off.

    • @joe_cannot_dance
      @joe_cannot_dance Рік тому

      Well, I agree about not saying anything negative about the sponsors, totally understandable! But saying that bikes are not ready for that amount of power, means that they used low range components, probably, otherwise they should withstand it, cyclists are pretty powerfull too (downhill, indoor on top, powerwise), but if you are using components that come with commuting or budget ranges, probably that doesn't endure their power...
      Anyway, i think they learned the lesson, as I don't recall any more trouble with bikes after the mentioned year...
