Euro/Interbike 2015

[meathead]

I want some 14mm with brake mounts.


Was expecting a bit of a front brake resurgence.

as nice as this would be , its just missing the extra few spokes to make it a 48

Subrosa did. http://sparkysdistribution.com/subrosa-4-peace-noster-bars.html

Damn, I slept on this. Good catch! Though it looks like a typo because it's so close. Maybe the v2 could be the 4peas bars if palmere ever leaves fiend.

Pretty uneventful like the last few years. I think the most interesting goes to Shadow for their new plastic pedals but even that is kind of meh. Find cordouroy seat and Merritt upload stem are both kind of itchin on me though.

Also the WTP stem with little notches cut out. Wouldn't that be more prone to slippage cause its less surface area?

No, its supposed to grip better, and I think it will. Problem is if it grips too good. Its kind of a failsafe to make the bars move instead of getting brutal force into your wrists. But I guess with the taller bars trend the leverage on the stem is increasing, so it might not make the impact force on your wrist.

What is there to be eventful? BMX technology has economically peaked, there isn't really much point in spending money developing new technologies when the vast proportion of money coming in is based on trends. New colourways have a higher profit margin.

It baffles me that brands even bother attending these events.

Maybe it's to market their new trendy product or color-ways. Plus it does not look good on the companies image to not attend. For example Animal this year.

Fuckin companies getting suites. No animal?

I thought Animal was done but this popped up and it's part one dealing with Animals "past". I guess part 2 is "present". looking forward the rest but hope part 3 "future" won't be Ralph saying "We're done".

While your part 1,2,3 for past, present and future makes perfect sense, There are only 2 parts. Part 2 is suppose to come out next tuesday or wednesday From what I was told by Epic, and I'll give you a spoiler: It does not end with Ralph saying that they are done.

From a consumers perspective, Interbike may seem boring if there is not a ton of new, progressive stuff.....but from a brands perspective, its a great opportunity to connect with shops that are generally outside the BMX market and tell the story of why it's important to support BMX in store. While some brands are chilling in suites talking to dealers they already know, some are on the floor preaching the good word of BMX and making moves. Interbike is a reflection of current trends and if no one represented BMX at the show how do you think the average shop would perceive the BMX market? Sitting in a suite getting loose?

Disappointed I didn't see any new T1 stuff.
It's good seeing that most frames coming out have at least a 9" standover and some even taller.

[Mychaylo]

Off topic but how short do the cut lines go on the t-1 bars?
