    So last week we had Super-Boost at 157mm x 12mm http://www.bikepacking.com/bikes/2019-salsa-horsethief/ now we may have ultra-boost at 162.

    I wonder what will be next? Hmm, let’s see … 170mm. Wait! Hang on! Isn’t that like, err, a fat bike?

    Won’t be 170 next as that’s Fat QR. 170 TA is 177. It’ll be 167 MEGA-Boost first.

    Hang on. It says that a change like this comes along once every 30 years. New axle standards are on one every 30 days at the moment.

    And this will mean a return to 83mm BBs or is there a chance to cock that up too?

    From there website

    The first Trek branded full carbon frame came in 1989

    I’m guessing some wizardry new frame material, maybe something with Graphene.

    Or some fancy pants handlebars with damping.

    Maybe…

    https://patents.justia.com/patent/10189530

    A bicycle handlebar assembly that includes a body having at least two grip areas positioned for interaction with the hands of a rider. The grip portions or grip areas are preferably spaced apart by a center portion that secures the assembly to a bicycle steerer tube. A channel or detent is formed in the body proximate at least one, and preferably proximate each grip portion or grip area. A dampener formed of a different material than the body is disposed in the detent and dissipates at least a portion of vibration of the body to reduce vibrations communicated to the hands of the rider from handlebar vibration. An optional grip assembly cooperates with the handlebar assembly and is constructed to further dampen handlebar vibration.

    £1 bet. Its a new frame material. Hasn’t there been some sort of new aluminium alloy invented recently. Or that low cost titanium that was in the news a while ago. Maby carbotanium…

    Like the new Lauf bars then?

    Id go with new composite tech (like graphene). Its 30 years since they launched their first carbon bike I believe.

    I was thinking it was a new material for clothing … but a new frame material is more likely, isn’t it.

    Given the fact that the background is green, I’m gonna say it’s some sort of recyclable carbon type material.

    The background photograph reminded me of that funny mesh frame that was manufactured a few years ago:

    I’m sure somebody else made something similar as well.

    I love my Remedy but Trek can’t be trusted with a standard so I reckon it’ll be some sort of bullshit

    Let’s just say, it is something for everyone and it will change a standard that has been accepted for years. That is all I can and shall say until the 19th!

    oh god no

    Bigger diameter BB shell. We can then have internal BB back again, but threaded.

    They haven’t meddled with spoke placing yet – spokes on sidewall of rim?

    Pedal bolt diameter increase, for moar stiffness. (Snigger)

    New cable diameter and material?

    I-beam 2.0?
