More road cycling marketing BS

Shame because the standard skewer with that hub is a beautiful.
I’d like to have a go of those ratchet skewers. how much they weigh?

Ti 37-40gm
Steel 41-45gm
Thru-bolt 52-69gm
Expect to Pay $80-$120 per end for steel.
$160-$180 per end Ti

E

Who would have thought ‘high end’ could look so ugly!
More silly un-true able carbon wheelsets…
Come to think of it, this is just like the triple flange hub on Prolly blog.

i didnt love the constant freehub servicing mine required

Zipp’s RZR shifters

2010 will also see the debut of Zipp’s new RZR shifter, essentially the mechanical equivalent of SRAM’s 1090-R2C bar end changer but with a more bulbous carbon fibre lever that we first saw on Lance Armstrong’s Astana team issue Trek Equinox TTX SSL at this year’s Giro d’Italia. Zipp claims the new shape offers a six-second advantage over 40km relative to the flat R2C lever.

six-second advantage over 40km… haha what a load of bullshit

Magnetic pedals, well done mavic :stuck_out_tongue:

http://www.bikeradar.com/road/gear/category/components/pedals/product/ez-ride-evolve-35104

Had a play with them in the shop and the magnet is not strong enough for any kind of up stroke/circular motion. Might as well have a good set of flats and some change left over. £40 plus the cost of the shoes that will only work with this pedal, I’ll stick to normal spd and a wider choice of footwear.

haha

By using available data to put this speed advantage into perspective, the 33 seconds of speed gained when using Speedplay pedals is equivalent to the speed gained when switching from a standard front wheel to a deep-profile, aerodynamic front wheel.

Bullshit?

It’s okay people, R-SYS is safe!! :evil:

I wonder if those pedals would work if they had rare earth magnets in them. You know, the kind that … uh … never mind.

same tests that mavic used to get them through QC pre-recall :slight_smile:

yeah, that dude was all “i’m totally pushing on the rim really hard…nah jks, these things are fucking deathtraps lol”

Probably a re- post, but, oh dear

It’s bug season on my commute (the tiny little black ones that swarm around ti-tree, dunno what they’re called).

It’d be a bitch cleaning the little suckers off of that.

That would be the least of my concerns riding that contraption… :evil:

Did they pull over because of the narrow road ahead?

Had a look at this site. Love the Chingrish :smiley: It is classic

Gotta learn how to use the quote icons!

Great, Cane Creek have managed to redesign a headset that now lasts only 450 hours or 1500 km’s… :expressionless:
The things we do for weight reduction

Cane Creek, the world’s leader in headsets and headset technology, introduces the revolutionary AER.

By incorporating Norglide® composite bearing technology into a super lightweight design, the AER offers more than 50% weight savings over comparable models making it the world’s lightest headset. It’s the ultimate headset upgrade for road cyclists with an eye on weight. Made in U.S.A.

Tech: Norglide® Composite Bearing

The AER headset incorporates Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics latest innovation in composite bearing technology; Norglide® X2. A revolution in bearing technology, the X2 material sandwiches an aluminum base between a layer of low-friction PTFE tape and an elastomeric rubber backing material yielding a composite bearing that weighs scant 1.5 g. The Norglide® X2 bearing is durable enough to provide over 450 hours of smooth steering.
