Can someone tell me if this asymetric frame mumbo jumbo is just marketing talk or if it really makes a difference?
I watched a video which purported to explain it, but the logic was as follows:
1. The forces are different side to side. 2. The bike has less room on one side due to cogs and other stuff. 3. So we made it asymetric. 4. Which is obviously better.
They seem to be missing a step between 3 and 4.
This kind of reminds me of the Southpark episode where the underpants gnomes would steal underwear, then they had a missing step, which if they completed would lead to them making lots of money. None of the underpants gnomes knew what the second step was. It was hilarious.
Are Pinnarello being underpants gnomes with me? I'd really like to know. I am considering their bikes, along with others...
I haven't yet read of anyone raving about how asymetric their bike is...
