The 2011 Parts/Bikes Thread... !!!

[peachy]

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, apologies if it's a repeat.

I've been looking forward to Thomson releasing a direct mount stem:

I likes how simplistic it is, but compared to other direct mount stems, it ain't the prettiest.

Obviously the M9 has been posted a few times in this thread, but there are a few more intense bikes in this link that I am unsure as to whether they have been posted.

Anyways enjoy.

Nope, it's a fu-bar.

I'd buy one of those (the red or silver collar versions that is) in a heartbeat if I could find one! Blacx seem to have a few distributors listed on their website but no actual sales outlets!

I'm really liking the cannondale, it looks much better then previous All Mountain bikes they've produced. The way we all view things is different though I guess.

Looks very similar to a Scott pull-shock design. Looks good though.

Designed by Peter Denk. Who used to work as a designer for Scott.

Hey Oracle, we've just received a couple of test units from Blacx and will be putting them through their paces over the next couple of months and hopefully all going well, we'll be able to hook you up in the new year, through your LBS, with these incredible new posts!

They use a coil instead of hydraulics, with a magnetic locking system. They are designed so they don't fail. We of course will try and fail one in a good way. From pulling them out of the box this morning, they certainly look the goods!

I bought a Joplin 4r two weeks ago. Must say I love the infinite adjustability of that post especially when riding technical trails. But I have already had to strip and relube after a particularly wet/muddy ride so hopefully this will not be a (too) regular service requirement!
