Is the bike hire included in the price?
Yes, it is! Do you really think that Tadej Pogačar has to travel with (or pay for) his own bike when he comes to train in Mallorca with his team?
What bike will we use?
In 2024, we will be riding either the Trek Emonda SL6 PRO (7.3 kg carbon bike, equipped with a Shimano Ultegra groupset and Aeolus PRO 3 carbon wheels) or the Canyon Ultimate SL8 (7.4 kg carbon bike with disc brakes, equipped with a Shimano Ultegra groupset). We also have a few LIV bikes for women. More options (Trek Domane, Trek Emonda SLR 8, e-bike) are also available at extra cost. Find more information here: www.sacalobra.cc/bikes/
Can I pick between a Canyon, a Trek, or another bike?
Due to limited bike sizes and availability, as well as the possibility of mechanical issues that could take certain bikes out of service, we cannot guarantee a specific choice between a Trek, a Canyon, or another bike during our cycling camp. We ensure that all our bikes are high-quality and well-maintained, and we'll provide the best possible option based on your size and needs. Thank you for understanding!
What is the gearing on the bike hire?
Our bike rentals are equipped with either a 50/34 or 52/36 chainring in the front and an 11/28 or 11/30 cassette in the back (or an equivalent gearing ratio). This setup is ideal for tackling the climbs and descents of the Mallorcan mountains or the French Alps, offering a perfect balance of power and comfort for your ride.
What frame size would you recommend for me?
With the registration form, we will send you a complete sizing guide to help you pick the proper frame size, based on several measurements (rider height, inseam, saddle height).
Can I bring my own bike?
Yes, you can. However, we recommend that you ride one of our full carbon bikes. Traveling with a bike is expensive and risky; it can be lost, damaged, or delayed. And don't worry about your riding position; our mechanic will replicate the exact settings you are used to at home (saddle height, angle, setback, etc.), thanks to our Bikesettings.com tool.
Is there a discount for bringing my own bike?
Yes. A discount of 80 euros will be applied if you bring your own bike. However, we do not assume responsibility for its safety or any damage. You will also be responsible for any spare parts that may be used during the camp if you decide to bring your own bike.
Can I bring my own powermeter?
If you would like to bring your powermeter, we’re able to accommodate a few options. For crank arm powermeters, please verify that the crank arm length is the same as on the hire bike and that it is Shimano-compatible. We can also install pedal systems (Garmin, Assioma, Powertap, etc.). If you have any questions, please contact us.
Do you provide pedals?
No! There are too many types of pedals/cleats, so we ask each rider to bring their own pedals and cycling shoes.
How are the brakes set up?
All our bikes are set up under European standards. The front brake is controlled by the lever on the left-hand side of the handlebar, and the rear brake by the right-hand lever.
Do you provide a saddle bag?
No, but you won't need one! Our team car will follow us on the road every day. If you have a puncture, our mechanic will be there. Just like the pros!
