Sun Ringle Debuts A.D.D. Tubeless Downhill Wheelset!

April 25, 2011 at 3:27 pm · Filed under Interbike 2011, New Products, News, Sun Ringle

Sun-Ringle’s new A.D.D. tubeless downhill wheels license Stan’s NoTubes rim technology for quick, easy tubeless tire seating.

While the license limits them to using the rim tech on complete wheels only, Sun-Ringle took the overall rim design a step further by adding eyelets at the spoke nipple holes to allow them to run higher tension and build up a stronger, more durable rim and wheel.

Full specs and photos below…

The A.D.D. Pro wheelset is built on Jumping Flea-like hubs with direct pull spokes that are only available on this wheel set. Quick specs are:

1995g / set
12×150 or 12×135 rear
20mm and 15mm frot adaptable hub
Rim width 30mm
Expert series will be available, too, with a heavier hub but same Stan’s rim.
28 spoke front and rear
Wheelsmith DB spokes
$649 Pro / $499 Expert
Available in July
1 year Mfr’s defects warranty

I also learned that Hayes Bicycle Group (they own Sun-Ringle) manufactures these in their Chinese factory, and they make Stan’s rims, too.

For a component that’s meant to take some serious abuse and is often replaced or completely rebuilt once or more per season, these look to be pretty solid and, at just $650/set, a steal. In fact, most of Sun-Ringle’s wheelsets are extremely competitively priced and tough to beat on weight and quality for the money.

Kyle Strait’s 2011 Pivot Cycles Phoenix Downhill Bike at Sea Otter Classic!

April 23, 2011 at 3:58 am · Filed under Interbike 2011, New Products, News, Pivot Cycles, Videos

For 2011, Pivot has released their new downhill bike that they’ve been showing off at Interbike/Eurobike. They’ve also managed to get some good testing done at many World Cup venues as well as the Red Bull Rampage. Check out the video inside as well as more details on their new downhill bike.

Video:

Piloted by Kyle Strait and tested by other pro athletes like Mitch Delfs last year, they’ve learned and incorporated a variety of features into their downhill bike

Rear dropouts are replaceable and optional ones are also available to change the geometry on the bike to tweak the geometry of the bike.

The dw-link equipped bike is designed to be efficient at pedaling as well as bump absorption. 83mm bb shell, 150mm rear spacing, ISCG-05 chain guide mounts, and a 1.5″ head tube.
The bike has some robust frame construction in key areas to provide a strength, stiffness, and long life for owners without being too heavy.

Access to lower shock dials can be done through the frame
The frameset comes with the Cane Creek AngleSet so if you want to slack the bike out more (or steepen it) you are able to do so.

2012 Titus Racer X Carbon 29er at Sea Otter Classic!

April 21, 2011 at 3:49 am · Filed under Interbike 2011, New Products, News, Titus Cycles, Videos

Titus has got a new Carbon 29er that they were showing at this year’s Sea Otter Classic.

Titus is now owned by Planet X/Orange distributed by Unique Sports Company in the United states. They will be establishing a dealer network in the near future but will also be looking into doing consumer direct purchases much like On One already does. Production is still in Oregon at SAPA for aluminum frames and China is used for the carbon models.

The Racer X 29 carbon was on the books at Titus before the sale but was never talked about publicly. The new owners went on with the project after the purchase of the company.

The Racer X 29 has internal cable routing, a tapered headtube, and utilizes a 135 mm rear end.

Sizing will be S, M, L to begin with and discussions of other sizes being figured out as well.

Titus is aiming for the pricing on the Racer X 29 in aluminum to be about $1,500 for the frame and the Carbon version they are shooting for $2,000. Final release dates are uncertain that this moment as they are still in the prototyping phase.

Hayes Dyno Brakes at Sea Otter

April 15, 2011 at 5:47 pm · Filed under Hayes, Interbike 2011, New Products, News

The new Dyno brake from Hayes not only comes with a lifetime leak proof warranty, but will also retail for an impressive $79 USD per end when they become available.

Learn more about Hayes’ new Dyno brakes : In Video Click here..

The new Dyno brake from Hayes is an economical stopper that not only retails for an impressive $79 USD per end, but also comes with a lifetime leak proof warranty. The lever is a simple and study unit that features adjustable reach.

The Dyno caliper and lever uses the same fittings to bleed, as well as the same simple process as previous Hayes models. While the new brake will be an original equipment model only for the upcoming year, you can expect it to be packaged for retail sales by 2012.

Those who have been patiently waiting for Hayes to release the Prime to the public should be happy to hear that that day is now here. The Prime’s poppet cam technology lets the user adjust the dead stroke (otherwise known as bite point) easily and without tools. The poppet cam allows riders to bring the bite point farther out or closer to the bar depending on their preference simply by rotating the small aluminum lever 180 degrees. This, combined with the anodized aluminum reach adjustment dial, should allow every rider to find a lever position that they feel comfortable with.

Check out the Hayes website for more information.
