Di2 bodges for MTB

Scoot bikes?

Winter again soon, so expect the run of fat-bike threads

fat bikes are old hat around here, ive seen at least one.

pedal back brakes..

people will use silly pedals that attach their feet to the bike.

it’ll be a cross between a Hite Rite and a USE Suspension Seat Post ….. oh hang on ……..

1 x 11 groupsets 🙄

purple bits 🙂

9X1 groupset, no rear mech see!

The nichemongers will buy Specialized because all the other nichemongers have used up every other niche.

Either that or cyclocross tyres for mud…

Either that or cyclocross tyres for mud…

oi, i have been superstitiously warding off torrential rain at bike events by bringing my 26″ scwalbe cx pro’s with me for 2 years. 8) Only ever fitted them once though, to do a cross race.

XC bikes

DIY frames – made with CNC and 3D Printing tech.

Telescopic grips.

Tapered bottom bracket axles.

Triangular headtube standard.

0.5×11 drive trains.

A Cannondale fork designed for people who don’t think youth clubs solve everything.

24″ wheels

Im sure Blunt from on-one will be along to tell us

Got to be internal cable routing bodges on old frames – where’s that drill..

Steep head angles (for livlier handling)

Hang on, what’s the current biking bandwagon? Have I missed it??

3 wheelers with full suspension?

the current bandwagon is wide low handle bars but there is not technical adantage to these.they are purely marketing and fashion for mindless sheep.
i must remember to trim down my 750mm bars on my bikes because ive seem to be going around the corners to fast these days.

Mr Bump, especially for you. Watch the video, you might learn something.

thanks for the links but i was supprised to find that i did’nt learn anything that already knew 😀
ive been running wide bars on all my bikes for years.ever heard of irony?

I have mate, you post contained none though.

handbags away…back on topic…

I just realised, from posting in that “Bike trends” thread, that I ride a 6″ All mountain bike that has low, wide bars, a pressfit BB, dropper post, stan’s rims with tubeless tyres, and is 1×10.

So whatever daft fad is next, I’m sure I’ll fall for it immediately. I’m obviously a marketing man’s dream.

less gears..

Yep, less gears are better, which is stupid.

……Down hill penny farthings?

those big wheels do roll over bumps easily 😀
