Staccato 8
- Thread starter ronan
- Start date
You all find out Saturday.
Yep, its prolly just an 8 speed transmission. Or something with 8 involved. That looks like a mosaic of an exploded view 3D cad drawing tho.
Pedal?
Thats alotta hype for a pedal, clipless or regular - But if you look at the picture from a distance it looks liek one. Hopefully its like 8.3mm thick and has bearings that never need maintainence.
Whatever it is I bet it's slightly modified from something else, but just enough to avoid patent infringement, everyone will be getting in line to buy one/blow DW, then MRP will copy it and change it slightly to avoid patent infringement, then 100 threads on why MRP sucks will pop up on RM.
are you calling "the bike industry" the bike industry?
It looks flexy.
Was it that obvious?are you calling "the bike industry" the bike industry?
An 8" suspension seatpost perhaps?
Gearbox????????
nah dude, Dave Weagle got married to Jabba the Hutt.
Are you saying Dave is gay (not that there is anything wrong with that)?
Yep, atleast I think. I see cranks and a built in bash guard.
I'm willing to put my mortgage and my wife (I own neither in reality) that it's an 8 speed gearbox.
I like to gamble thing's i don't actually own.

Gearbox. If so, will it be wrapped in a frame or a BB mount type of dealio? I don't want a new frame...
But I'm curious to see where 8 gears are going to fit or or how the "expanding sprocket" is going to work...

i'd like to think so, but that's a huge leap in manufacturing complexity / technology for the company. not to mention that it's at odds with their mainstay, which is selling chainguides. they had pedals in development a couple years back, i'd say that'd be much more likely, albeit boring:
The e.thirteen pedals hit a snag this summer when the pedal factory decided that the design was "too far from the normal" for them to concentrate on. Now we have been busy working to source components for the pedals inside the USA so that we can be sure that the pedals are built to our standards. Unfortunately, extraneous circumstances wont allow us to show our new pedals or several other projects that we worked hard on at Interbike 2004.
Its all good though. After the show, things will be calmer and I will be able to concentrate heavily on e.thirteen again. I can guarantee that the pedals will be available for 2005, and that we have some cool things planned in that respect. Its just a matter of time and persistance.

Sweet, E.13 is going to start selling two green alien/bugs fighting in a puddle. Looks like the one top is winning - see the lower guy's smashed head, the yellow puss, and the oozing red blood? Pretty cool, but too early to tell if I want one.
looks like a pedal to me. Probably some metal core with two plastic halves that bolt to the middle section. It's been done in BMX and it makes for super light and cheap pedals. The 8 probably refers to the replaceable pins. Each green section is a pedal half, the grey in the middle is the metal, axle coming out the back, and the red is probably a bolt/bearings.
i think they are gonna enter the next chinese new year parade
Mandown, you've got it. I change my decision and go with yours.
Seriously though, it all seems like too much hype for 'just' a pedal...

You work in marketing?
Me? Nope, almost though...brand licensing. I'm only speculating as far as one can with an image of the sort...
prototype for the 2013i????
(my guess is a gearbox as well. the gray "arms" at 2 o'clock and 8 o'clock are probably crank arms, but beyond that I'm kinda stumped...)

At first I also thought it was a gearbox, but now I'm leaning towards pedal.
E13 doesn't even make a crankset, so IN THEORY, MRP would be even closer to a gearbox than E13(flame on!)...but I don't think it's within their capacity anytime soon. I was originally thinking that perhaps they just skipped learning wheelies(cranks) and jumped right into Super-flips(gearbox).
BUUUUT...there IS the 2013i to consider. Perhaps there's been a plan all along involving a gearbox of sorts?
Didn't SRAM just release some funky gear thingy as well? Hyped it all up then it turned out to be some useless contraption? I need to do some more surfing, I have sh*t for memory...

And yeah...I'm hoping that will piss off DW enough to pop a gearbox out of his ass!
I hear MRP's is already in the ovens ...

they got yoshi to mate with a penguin?!
I'd say you're exactly right. There. There's your prize...you get to be right for maybe the next 10 minutes or so?!
it looks like a bumblebee
I think it is a spoiler for the bang bus.
