I was told that yeti will not be at the show and so it won't be there. But what I heard of the bike is that it is different from anything out there, with some wierd bearing slide thing on the downtude. Don't ask I am just as lost in picturing what it could be. But don't worry I am told that it is going to be bad ass.Acadian said:trust me I looked at almost ALL the pics hoping I would see it
no dice!!
Interbike perhaps?

Yeti will not be at what show? interbike or Eurobike? I assume you mean Interbike since they were at Eurobike.Juano said:
wonder why they wouldn't go? especially if they have a new bike?
you likin' the Demo?

I've heard that the new giant bike infringed on the VPP patents by "accident." Like, they didn't know they had infringed until after they had made 14000 of them. Funny, because giant is also designing and manufacturing the new Santa Cruz dirt jumper. Werd :/
the VPP patent only applies in the states, just like the FSR patent. When Giant was going to release the NRS in 2000, they were going to do it internationally minus the US, and continuing the DS1 for the States. An agreement with Specialized was however reached and the NRS went to the US after all.Jestere said:
Its possible the same situation could happen here. Giant is too big to be stupid/negligeant or whatever when it comes to their product, and weither a new VPP based design makes it to the States probably wont bother them much.
this all stinks from rumor and innuendo anyways, sounds like some grade-a hype to me.
Now this is the most exciting thing to come from Trek in a long time!
It's good to know that Gary Fisher is still influencial in the company bearing his own name.

according to singletrackworld.com Frasier's bike looks like a filing cabinet 
hahahaaha.....gotta use that one on the trail....ViolentVolante said:according to singletrackworld.com Frasier's bike looks like a filing cabinet
you should put that one in youre signaturezedro said:
yeti was at eurobike and nobody was willing or able to share any info about the new Dh bike.
Toshi.. that derailleur on that canyon roadbike is just there because its light.

What's your thoughts on this?
It looks like a really good idea, not too much excess weight or heavy internal machinery. Only downside is the lack of more than 7-9gears if it were to be applicable for trailbike that traditionally needs a 14 gear range.

Anyone know if Giro has new FF helmets? I couldn't find any pics.
hot damn is this thing s3xy!

not quite, somehow somebody in taiwan must have thought it was a shame "such a valuable brand name" was forgotten like it deserved and proceeded to brand a component line zzyzx.
seen it around here in the shops, cranks and other stuff, upper-shelf-supermarket level.
i cant wait for the next generation hanebrink made in taiwan hubs and pedals.....
splined bb for the crank chainring to move across and shift gears.Trond said:What's your thoughts on this?

i need a close up.!
It kind of looks to me like that's what it is. Anything that is sliding like that chainring on the splined shaft is screaming mantinance. I'd **almost** rather have a standard drivetrain.bcd said:
Yes, it's also stated that you can shift while coasting. Which means the cassette must run at all times, but how is it then connected to the splined bb? From the pic it seems like the bb will actuate the cassette.bcd said:
i was attempting to design such a system, but the problem (or mystery) was the sliding drive. Linear bearings which could handle the torques loads were way too big and heavy, and it seemed that simple splined drivers (or inverted gears) available would create too much friction under load to be able to be shifted, from the spec sheets i came across.bcd said:
the other worry i have is how easily the system can be accessed on the trail should everything jam up or derail.

under load I don't see how anything is going to move much, no matter how much lube you apply
is that a chain running between the two, how do you take up the slack and not cause further issues?
it seems so. It looks like it has a type of 'linear' derailleur that slides with the drive sprcket. Notice the gearing looks very tight, probably required to reduce excess chain allowing it to be more compact.ssaddict said:
i'd really love to know the specifics of it. I'm wondering if they're just using SRAM 1:1 shifters, or made their own with more mechanical advantage to overcome the shifting resistance.
and what about slow shifting, like BCD mentioned awhile back with his project, that smaller chainrings will cause slow shifts. Unless they have a torque converter in there....
More photos... Sorry if any have been posted.
