Newly Released Bikes General

Looking at the fork, chain, seat, shock oh bugger it that’s some poor CGI

Deviate Claymore with 180 fork
Large has an increased reach of 490mm which is bang on.

New BH Lynx joins the list of bikes adding headset routed cables while answering the question of what would happen if you put a Trek rear triangle onto a Stumpy.

So what do we reckon with these bikes with through-headset routing - Will the brake hose rub through the steerer, or the steerer rub through the brake hose?

Either way, good fun catastrophic failure types to not be able to see coming!

It's clearly a great way to one-up the stupidity of internal cable routing. Scary to think where to next.

Looks like a PITA to me, more fidgety shit to work with. I wonder if the steer has internal stops to mitigate the hose damage from over turning the bars.

Next up.
Routing through the bars, ala roadie style. The brakes will be redesigned so the hoses exit near the clamp and straight into the bar ports.
Also front brakes will be routed down the inside of the steerer.

Aftermarket steerer tube protection sleeves incoming!

Rebranded Orbea?

It f#king stupid.

Easy fix though. Buy a normal headset and a 5-6mm drill bit to reroute the cabling/hoses through the downtube.

And possibly some of this if it's a carbon frame...

Spoiler

We haven't had a new hub standard for 2 years, so I assume MegaBoost will released later this year so that we can have enough width to run the 'revolutionary' 2 front chain rings and 14 speed cassettes that the marketing departments will convince us we MUST HAVE.

Will be an in thing until everyone has had enough of the bad parts.

The fix will be eGroupsets with WiFi FTW with a loud collective sigh, not this s*#t again moment for all to enjoy.

Get ready for delta hub...a totally new way of envisioning the wheel to frame interface.

...and the WTF comments from home and shop mechanics!

It's a fair bit different to a Stumpy. The Stumpy has an asymmetrical shock mount and brace, so apart from mounting the shock in the middle of the top tube, that's about where there similarities stop. It's closer to an Orbea Occam in the top tube arrangement but even than, it has a brace from the seat tube to the down tube.

You don't get invited to a lot of parties, do you?

A la Major Kusanagi, cables will be routed through our bodies and we will truly be "at one" with our bikes.

I would love to have 300kg titanium body with built in thermoptic camouflage and a mil spec cyberbrain.

Routing cables through headset? Not so much.

You probably need to go to Specsavers
