The Hottest New Bike Tech From The Taipei Cycle Show 2019

I don't always record sound when cycling, but when I do, I do so in a headwind :D

Aside from the issues with fulfilling orders, the whole benefit of electronic shifting is eliminating cables that eventually stretch and start sticking which causes inaccurate shifting. Adding electronic shifting to cable derailleurs is like trying to power your sailboat with a fan.

No one is going to steal your ABS wine corks fellahs...

Talking about "technical descents" on a gravel bike. HA... HA... GMBN, show them how it's really done!

Seems like all neutral service bikes should have dropper posts these days. Did ASO start doing this already? RCS?

Lmfao about 160 mm on the road bike dropper more like 100 guess you must have a small pp . Also the Co2 pressure gauge you definitely do not know how much air is in the tyre just pressure and Co2.

Mechanics adding weight to bikes is an indicator the uci needs to get off their buttocks and get rid of the 6.8 rule.
Should not even put in a limit and let them go at it.

You don't need a gauge to tell you how much air goes into your tyres from a CO2 canister - it is zero.
You might, however, be interested in the CO2 pressure! :-)

The wireless shifting conversion kits have been around for a while haven't they

Dubai color scheme from Giant is awesome (Black+Gold)

9.59 I'd say you like that dropper post a little bit too much...

My guess is that the abs system is just two weights that amplify the wave set up in the pads during braking 🤔

Really hot new tech. I've had a very serious concussion and an old fashion helmet does not protect you from concussions. The latest Trek/Bontrager helmets are over the moon great new tech. I would like everyone to get these and not end up like me taking anti-seizure medication for the rest of your life.

As for stretchy spokes - the wheel will steer itself. Bad news on downhills in particular.

There are super cheap deep section carbon tubeless wheels from China now and unlike the original ones that would delaminate these appear to be real dynamite. These wheels are so cheap that anyone can ride carbon wheels now. My experience with the clinchers of the same type is that rim brakes using their recommended basalt pads have good wear characteristics though the pads wear out pretty fast and you have to keep an eye on them. The new blue pads appear to have better wear characteristics but that remains to be seen. You do have to squeeze the brakes harder.

❤👌🏻

I suddenly feel like I went back in 2017. Xshifter was a Kickstarter project which promised to deliver in Mar-17 but never fulfilled. Now they are selling it on the market yet their first backers still haven't got what they were promised of.

A US company called Berd makes these Dyneema spokes, I just order some for my Alloy climbing wheel build. 24mm wide 25mm deep TL clincher at target weight 1230g.

Gift me bike please

cant deal with you 🙈😂

Fml a retrofit of electric gear shifters is what I need!

Wow, a disc and 4 spoke carbon wheel. Not seen that tech before. Ffs

Bike companies really have very little left to develop that’ll make a big difference hence why all this stuff is over engineered shite

The antilock brakes are vibrating.

That anti-lock break system would not work without some sort of electronics. Clearly they don't know how an ABS system works, and if theirs is just purely mechanical, would never stop you on a hill. There is a video of a guy who was making an ABS from his own back yard that made significantly more sense than "an oscillating weight that jiggles the break pad"

Italian brand Brovedani put an anti-lock cantilever brake on the market in '94, it was an enormous flop. Similar, vibrating principle, driven by rubber rollers contacting the rim.

The anti lock things are genius, however on a bicycle it would be useless on the front wheel but on the rear it would go a long way at making your tires last a lot longer.

Hottest New Bike Tech From The Taipei Cycle Show - shows us his face 90% of the time

someone should release wireless hydraulic disc brakes

Pneumatic rim brakes

Bikes haven’t changed in a hundred years, zzzzzzzzzzz

'includes paid promotion'. So it's just an advert? Goodbye honest critical reviews then.

That dropper would only be useful on a cross bike

I had no idea electronic shifters were a thing

How about a handlebar that is both dropbar and high comfortable mtb like. With some lock n movement mechanism you can safely change on the ride. And with brake levers that split in kind of a v shape so you actuate the same lever in different positions. And as bonus manage to make it look not goofy .

Cycle heaven right there.

Future bikes will be as thin as toothpicks

I go cycling to get away from junk you dont need , all no doubt very expensive , theres no realclue about gealth or how body works , never mind

What’s with the accent

I'm waiting for the teams to start hacking their opponents' wireless derailleurs . . .

need one of the Taipei cycle, where to get, do you sheep?

The best tech for cycling is actually for for legs. The new back of the knee springs attachment allows for less pain when bending as the springs push your legs back up. This is incredible for cycling as the springs push your legs up on the up cycle.
