The reluctance to adopt 3D-printed components in pro cycling is baffling. Sure, traditional setups have their merits, but when you look at the potential of customizability and weight savings, it’s a missed opportunity. Teams cling to what they know, fearing the unknown. What’s the real barrier here? Is it just the inertia of tradition, or is there something deeper, like a lack of trust in these new materials?
And what about the bespoke wheel systems? If marginal gains are the holy grail, why aren’t teams diving into tailored designs that could optimize performance for each rider? It feels like a no-brainer. Are we stuck in a cycle of playing it safe while innovation sits on the sidelines?
This isn’t just about tech; it’s about the future of racing. What’s it gonna take for teams to embrace the cutting edge?
