Newly Released Suspension & Components General

[kten]

I’d say the first is more accurate. Will be some foreshortening in the second pic, making them look shorter…and they still look long.

Is that a pic of the old lever and the new one above?

Er, is it? I though both of the new one…but I’m a gronk, so, possibly.

I think the lack of the lever "dogleg" makes them look longer than they are.

The middle of the new lever is longer and top down pics make it look huuuuggge. Normal angles it doesn’t look so bad.

Don’t imagine it’ll be any longer than what TRP give you.

Was just thinking this. My Tektro levers are huge.

Like turning off a tap...

Mebbe they're elbow brakes?

 

[ozzybmx]

Same brakes as that Remy bloke?

Same bike too ?

That would be nice but no.

Just to trigger @Asininedrivel new e13 plasma valves. Tweaked presta to allow for easy sealant adding!

Just saw the new, hotly anticipated Revel. Sadly a 29” version of the Rail, not a 27.5 version of the Rascal. It’s like @russthedog hasn’t listened to a word I said.
Awesome news for the wagon wheel crew though. Hell of a bike both up and down.
Love the colour too.

What a ripper bike that would be. I think I mentioned in my review of the Rail that it would translate really well into a shorter-travel format.

Surprisingly little competition to the Santa Cruz 5010 and Ibis Mojo out there.

It’s probably the only bike I’d have gone carbon for if it was a thing.
Canyon seem keen to fill the void with their new range, but there’s still a lot of snobbery around the brand from a few I know. I wasn’t a big fan in the past, but they really seem to have their shit together and are hard to beat on value.

I hear you on the snobbery. I get that as well. I have been patiently looking for a new frame and the one thing, so far, stopping me from buying a Canyon is I want a frame, not more unused parts.

Yeah, the frame only thing was pretty huge for me. Most $10k bikes still cut big corners or come with parts I’d never use.
Wish I’d had the budget for the complete Stanton. The elite build has Ohlins suspension, hope wheels, full XT train and brakes, for around $8500-9000au (about to rise, and Shimano parts are on back order).

Not seeing any 27.5 bikes in adult sizes though.

Hmm. Cool idea but £30 straight conversion is $55 add in local tax etc and probably $70 odd.

I'd be recommending Canyon based on @ozzybmx's experience with them alone. Owners seem to love them, great VFM and they look great.

But what is it?

An Apple Airtag holder, lets you track your bike if stolen. Granted if a thief knows it’s there they will just remove it. Apparently it has ‘security’ bolts?
