Indeed. I wasn't making a point with that post, just interested to see what people are riding.
Although Kristoffs setup is usually rather minimalist, it's also kind of conservative.

Yes, Kristof is in the 'use tried and tested stuff' camp. Steel frame and strong wheels. His set-up is more audax than racing. He relies on his legs to get him there, rather than a lot of small marginal gains.
If my spokes break in the Nullarbor, I expect I will realise the wisdom of his approach!

Kristof just does the 'pedalling hard' bit. And the 'minimsing stops' bit. If you can do both of those as well as he can, then any set of round wheels will do!
It's the chasing pack looking for all the marginal gains.
