Howes rides a Garmin Edge 510, which should give him more than enough information when he’s racing, as he won’t require a street map and the added features of the 810 and 1000. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

Howes, and the majority of his teammates are not riding the Garmin Vector 2 or 2S pedals, and instead riding SRM cranks with whatever pedals they prefer. Cannondale-Garmin’s director of communications, Marya Pongrace told us, “As part of our partnership, Garmin works with our athletes and mechanics to continue to improve its products, including Vector. As such, at this time, it is not at all uncommon to see different combinations on team bikes.” Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

The Cannondale-Garmin team rides Mavic Cosmic CXR 60 tubular wheels with Mavic tires. The CXR 60 wheels come with the CX-01 strip that snaps in around the outside of the rim to smooth airflow across the tire to the wheel, however it’s not UCI legal, and thus, not shown here.
