Interbike Six: Tyres, Turners and POC

Another ‘fill in your own captions for now’ piece while we take in the last day of the show. More thorough captions will appear once we’re not actually still trying to find new stuff. Much of it is easy to spot though.

The Mountain Bike Hall of Fame inducted a few new members on Wednesday night, including Dave Garoutte of DKG (and subject of a Singletrack 'Unsung heroes' article) - here he gets his award from Ross Shafer.

Ann Caroline Chausson - the 'winningest' female bike racer of all time was also inducted. She wasn't there, but Cedric Gracia stepped up for it.

New from Surly. Now Pugsley owners have a tyre choice...

Cannondale's new 'Simon' fork - electronic set-up, valving and control, complete with built in accelerometers. How tech do you want to get. Still a prototype at the moment.

Some new treads from Schwalbe. Again, captions later.

The Turner RFX has made me go all funny in the pants.

The sea foam green flux is quite tasty as well

I”m afraid it’s not Sea Foam green. Due to the convention centre not having a single window, it’s hard to show real colours. That Turner is ’80s fluoro green. 🙂

Any chance of some pics from the Cove stand? All new G Spot?

80’s fluoro green? eep, not quite so tasty then. There I was hoping that Turner had started raiding Fender’s 60’s paint shop.

Sea foam green, Candy Apple Red or sonic blue would look great on a bike

Uh huh, the Turner does it for me too, although I still can’t work out what’s going on. DW link goes free floater with a bit of Maestro thrown in to boot. Who’s going to be sueing who?

How many arms and legs will that go for….

Nice though

Mate of mine had one of those AEE cameras at the Mega this year, they are amazingly good. V cheap off e-bay, about £30 posted from HK.
