For those who are looking for the right fit, the 2011 Trek Madone 6.9 SSL H2 Fit Frameset is the perfect choice. While keeping all the H1 platform’s handling geometry and ride characteristics, the H2 features a little higher head tube height to reduce back and neck strain.

Also, riders are accommodated with pelvic rotation and core stability. By having a higher head tube, the H2 appropriately gets most riders in the right place without unnecessary high-rise stems or a huge stack of spacers.

Indeed, every fit of the 2011 Trek Madone 6.9 SSL H2 Fit Frameset looks professional. Features of the frameset include 100 grams lighter new series OCLV SSL Carbon frame and full carbon Bontrager Race XXX Lite fork that comes with an E2 asymmetrical steerer.

2011 Zipp Sub-9 Disc

With its amazing aerodynamic features, the 2011 Zipp Sub-9 Disc takes pride in its professional competitiveness. In fact, while it features a wind angle of 12 to 18 degrees, the Zipp Sub-9 was paired with Zipp’s 21mm Tangente tire making it the first wheel ever to create forward lift.

Zipp was able to achieve this by incorporating a toroidal bulge that is similar to their 1080 and 808 spoked wheels around the edge of the disc. By doing this, the airflow at the wheel’s leading and trailing edges is controlled, resulting in an enhanced aero performance.

Moreover, through the vertical compliance of the bulge, the Sub-9 disc is glued to the road when cornering. This results to a comfortable ride making it the ideal for long-course triathletes. With the 2011 Zipp Sub-9 Disc, Zipp shifted from reducing drag to exploiting momentum.

To be released this 2011 is the redesigned eeCranks set from eeCycleworks. Little was changed in terms of aesthetics adding a black option to the silver one. For a standard English BB, the whole set, which includes the bottom bracket, cranks, spider and rings, it weighs approximately 630g to 650g.

A 170mm outer BCD will be utilized by the eeCranks along with inner bolt circle diameters for both standard and compact. With the larger outer BCD, the result will be 48T to 53T+ chainrings to most compact and regular sizes and the options for crankarm are 170, 172.5 and 175mm.

While the 2011 eeCranks Set has an incredibly light weight, its performance is not reduced as one might suppose. This crankset is one of the stiffest ones on the market, if not the stiffest. Also, still being worked on is a BB30/PFBB30 crankarm/spindle design.
