IDK, but there is clearly something wrong with their welding setup (it looks fine on vitalmtb, as all the oxidation is probably brushed off).Sooo, how high is the BB on this thing? Are those built to order?
Were they really made in the UK before? I mean beside some prototype 4X frame?
Looks like it's above the axles on what I assume are 650b wheels. So really fucking high.Sooo, how high is the BB on this thing? Are those built to order?
It seems a non-lizard person slipped through and managed to get a position in the industry. One would think that the job of the Creative Director would specifically be to invent and push new standards...Chris Currie - Creative Director at Stan's NoTube said:
FTS. I hope I won't have to move off 142x12 and 157x12DH for the next 10+ years. Moving off crabon was the first step in that direction.
Don't be surprised when they push 15mm rear axles next.
FWIW, they can replace rear wheels with magnets - and I'll keep riding my good bikes with obsolete hoops.
just wait till what they're doing with fatbikes trickles into trail bikes...
will there be gravel bikes with that standard?
So many bikes sold in it he late 90's to late 2000's that are now unable to be serviced with any component above sis, or Altus. It's a shame that a "go green" industry produces so much waste.
if you're enough of a nerd to still be servicing a high end bike from that era, you're enough of a nerd to know how to source NOS components if a replacement is needed.
It's funny cause it's true!
also, the irony here is that all the products you're using as examples of things that are "obsolete" are still widely available.
your random internet store:
a well stocked bike shop is more likely to have an ISIS bb in stock than the latest press fit nonsense.
EXACTLY!
