Newly Released Suspension & Components General

[ozzybmx]

I can't believe that this sort of money is par for the course these days.

Wouldn't be out of the question if shit stayed relevant, next thing Superboost and the cranks, hubs and chainrings are old news.

I know they say it is slanted like that to fit more frames but I don't see it. Must only gain a few mm if anything

Clearly there is some big frame developments coming that we haven't seen yet. Rearward wheel paths are history! Sideways is here now...

I suspect it's more about getting easier access to the rebound knob on frames with shock 'tunnels' (ie: through seat-tube designs like lower-link Santa Cruz, Forbidden, etc...)

If they can move rearwards to get out of the way of bumps, I can see how sideways axle paths would be of benefit. The only question is, do I want left or right? If it's on the wrong side for a given trail, does that mean the wheel sometimes moves towards the path of the obstacle?

NO. You just ride off the trail on that side. Hopefully not a cliff face.

That's where the latest in rim technology comes into play. We call it integrated rim flex. It allows your wheel, when correctly built, to actively morph over, around, and even under obstacles it makes contact with while traveling on a centrifugal ellipses in a clockwise direction.

Did he do a hobo bar spin?

Ha - That’s what I thought they said too!

@Minlak has a new trick to learn.

Been a bit of that happening lately, goodbye 650b.

Wonder what our next size wheel will be

 

[Rorschach]

Just read that review too, I really like the graphics on it - certainly more than on the Durolux 36s on the Prime
