Pinarello, it’s Time to Embrace the Future

We love you, Pinarello, which is why we need to have an intervention for you. You tout this and that technology, yet you continue to campaign an obsolete bottom bracket system. Yes, it works, the way a propeller driven aircraft can fly just fine in the modern age of spaceflight. T47 gives Pinarello everything they need when it comes to the security of having a threaded interface along with the incredible benefit of a huge diameter that easily accommodates all modern and conceivable future crank systems. C'mon, Pinarello, embrace the future. Embrace T47.

Or just use cranks with a 24mm spindle, way better bearings

What was wrong with tapered square bsa?

[-Flea]

My dads 2015 Pinarello Prince has an english threaded BB, why on earth are they going backward?

[Saltydog]

Can list out what are the bike brand and model support T47?

[levifulop]

Since when does a one piece T47 bottombracket exist? Or any one piece threaded bb

[jameswiley]

Gary coming off specialized Roubaix 2016 (kept it), thought I upgraded😮
Invested in Scott Addict RC 20 Integra w/o etap ( just regular derailer) $4200
Right or wrong move?

[donschloth]

Gary, what have you developed for the Pinarello?

[royanderson]

So T-47 is threaded? SL7 (S-works) is threaded? What is the difference? Thanks

[Cycleinc]

Does the bigger bottom bracket axel provide better performance?

[jamintoday]

Thanks. I don't know enough. But as I'm looking for that style of ride for my son. Now I need more parks tools. Witch is fine.

[kennyrojas]

External bbs for the win...no funky noises ever.

[jamesquinton]

Go buy a trek if you don’t like it. Ultra torque is the only option

[Numeriwar]

First they have to make straight tubes. Not some marshmallow looking ones

[adamquilter]

Who wants a crank with a 30mm spindle anyway?

[Chris._P._Bacon]

I rather have a Columbus SLX frame than any carbon crap.

[mgoo]

Putting that crank on a modern bike....🤣😂😂😂

[mortonayt]

Italian threading has zero advantages and should not exist.

[kris]

I have 30mm cranks
And I also have standard Shimano 24mm spindle cranks...
Guess what???
30mm is IN NO WAY BETTER OR STIFFER!
IN-NO-FREAKING-WAY!
Just saying 😅

[nagylevi]

Yeah, why stick with what works? Risk it all for a guy on the internet who thinks he knows better.

[RaptorVUSA]

just get the frame with yer precious t47
Or.
Get cranks that work with the frame and stop crying already...
