The test showed a 30% lower rotational torque for the new cup and cone bearings.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Bearings are said to be now replaceable, but this has long been the case; bearing cups are now also replaceable and waterproof sealing has been improved.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"shimano-dura-ace-c36-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Shimano Dura-Ace C36<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-f2915c6c-8a6c-11f1-99e7-2b53fe0ebf0d\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XV6mj7skJD8vcxEjXejrik-1200-80.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XV6mj7skJD8vcxEjXejrik-1024-80.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XV6mj7skJD8vcxEjXejrik-970-80.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XV6mj7skJD8vcxEjXejrik-650-80.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XV6mj7skJD8vcxEjXejrik-480-80.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XV6mj7skJD8vcxEjXejrik-320-80.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw -

Despite having a degree in English Literature he has spent his entire working life in the cycling industry in one form or another. He has over 10 years of experience as a qualified mechanic, with the last five years before joining Cyclingnews being spent running an independent workshop. This means he is just as happy tinkering away in the garage as he is out on the road bike, and he isn\u2019t afraid to pull a bike apart or get hands-on with it when testing to really see what it\u2019s made of.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>He has ridden and raced bikes from an early age up to a national level on the road and track, and has ridden and competed in most disciplines. He has a keen eye for pro-team tech and enjoys spotting new or interesting components in the wild. During his time at Cyclingnews, Tom has already interviewed some of the sport&#8217;s biggest names including Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Poga\u010dar and Alberto Contador. He&#8217;s also covered various launches from brands such as Pinarello, Ridley, Specialized and more, tackled the Roubaix Challenge sportive aboard his own rim-brake Cannondale SuperSix Evo, tested over 20 aero helmets in the wind tunnel, and has created helpful in-depth buying advice relating to countless categories from torque wrenches to winter clothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"relative max-w-[1070px] viafoura-twig-component mt-6 mx-4 lg:mx-0\" data-component-name=\"Viafoura:Comments\" data-nosnippet data-community-guidelines-text=\"&lt;p class=&apos;vfcustom-community-guidelines&apos;&gt;Please follow our &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/about\/#section-community-guidelines&quot;

Despite having a degree in English Literature he has spent his entire working life in the cycling industry in one form or another. He has over 10 years of experience as a qualified mechanic, with the last five years before joining Cyclingnews being spent running an independent workshop. This means he is just as happy tinkering away in the garage as he is out on the road bike, and he isn\u2019t afraid to pull a bike apart or get hands-on with it when testing to really see what it\u2019s made of.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>He has ridden and raced bikes from an early age up to a national level on the road and track, and has ridden and competed in most disciplines. He has a keen eye for pro-team tech and enjoys spotting new or interesting components in the wild. During his time at Cyclingnews, Tom has already interviewed some of the sport&#8217;s biggest names including Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Poga\u010dar and Alberto Contador. He&#8217;s also covered various launches from brands such as Pinarello, Ridley, Specialized and more, tackled the Roubaix Challenge sportive aboard his own rim-brake Cannondale SuperSix Evo, tested over 20 aero helmets in the wind tunnel, and has created helpful in-depth buying advice relating to countless categories from torque wrenches to winter clothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"relative max-w-[1070px] viafoura-twig-component mt-6 mx-4 lg:mx-0\" data-component-name=\"Viafoura:Comments\" data-nosnippet data-community-guidelines-text=\"&lt;p class=&apos;vfcustom-community-guidelines&apos;&gt;Please follow our &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.cyclingnews.com\/about\/#section-community-guidelines&quot;

The test showed a 30% lower rotational torque for the new cup and cone bearings.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Bearings are said to be now replaceable, but this has long been the case; bearing cups are now also replaceable and waterproof sealing has been improved.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"shimano-dura-ace-c36-3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Shimano Dura-Ace C36<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-f2915c6c-8a6c-11f1-99e7-2b53fe0ebf0d\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XV6mj7skJD8vcxEjXejrik-1200-80.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XV6mj7skJD8vcxEjXejrik-1024-80.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XV6mj7skJD8vcxEjXejrik-970-80.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XV6mj7skJD8vcxEjXejrik-650-80.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XV6mj7skJD8vcxEjXejrik-480-80.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/XV6mj7skJD8vcxEjXejrik-320-80.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw -
