Or admit that it is satire. Got to ride that horse right off the cliff.The Roost Carbon pokes fun at mountain biking’s constantly changing “standards” with 28-inch wheels, a 13-speed 11-53 tooth cassette, a 1500 millimeter wheelbase for “prone” geometry, 188mm dropout spacing and a massive BB shell. According to Ridiculous Bikes, these standards are “all not patented and free for use by all drunkards.”

This full 3D video was not meant to diss anyone or discourage change in the MTB industry, there are no affiliations to Club Roost products and the video was created for fun in one afternoon after an awesome trail ride! Cheers.
It's not funny if you apologize for it right off the bat. Jeesh.

Naaah. We need other standards now. Maybe seatpost wars again? Or special properietary internal routing that requires special specalized brake hoses?
hexagonal steerers and seatposts.I, for one, welcome our future hexagonal fork steerer/upper headset/stem overlords. I'm tired of thinking my stem/front wheel combo isn't properly aligned.
Let's go straight pentagonal for the steerers and seatposts. And call it S.A.T.A.N. - Super Advanced Tube Adaptative Novelty.hexagonal steerers and seatposts.
I have always felt that the fasteners on my bike are not optimized. I propose pentagram head bolts in metric diameter with inch pitch threads.

Tell that to anyone using an integrated stem on their dual crown fork...Good luck in your next crash!
Been there done that. Had to replace twisted lowers of my Boxxer and had to have a hole in my body stitched up. I know, I should stop crashing instead...Tell that to anyone using an integrated stem on their dual crown fork...
You should have sued someone.I once failed to properly tighten my steerer. Wheel decided to point in an undesireable direction in the middle of a high speed corner. Done got my bell rung good on that one.
I believe it's Di2 brakes and hydraulic shifting.You should have sued someone.
Is the Roost bike coming with H20 brakes and mandatory Procore?
And sound activated dropper. Clap once, ...I believe it's Di2 brakes and hydraulic shifting.
I'm holding out for the fart actuated dropper.And sound activated dropper. Clap once, ...
that idea sound like shit to me...I'm holding out for the fart actuated dropper.
You gotta take the bad with the goodthat idea smells like shit to me...

Remote tire pressure adjustment. You heard it here first.Shimano Airlines returns. Drivetrains, brakes, suspension, tires.
I think the 1/2" pedal thread's days are numbered. It's literally the only interface on a bike that's remained 'standard.' It works fine, but I'm sure some bike industry 'engineer' is eyeing it up somewhere...hexagonal steerers and seatposts.

That train left the station long ago. Probably dating myself here but these things used to come into the shop not infrequently when I was still a shop grom. Luckily I think I've outgrown my grom status.I think the 1/2" pedal thread's days are numbered. It's literally the only interface on a bike that's remained 'standard.'
