Mavic Wheels- Designed by the Marketing and Accounting Departments?
In recent times I feel Mavic’s products have really slipped in engineering terms. Mavic rims were once the only thing I’d consider for my Mountain Bike, and the Open Pro was the best road rim you could put on a road bike. Now however they seem to have added gimmick after gimmick until their wheels are starting to be nearly non usable.
Mountain Bike Cassettes- Shimano or Sram?
When you look in the pro ranks, even Sram sponsored teams/riders have used Shimano cassettes and chains. Why? Sram cassettes and chains didn’t shift as well, and their top road cassettes were noisy and didn’t clear dirt as well (which has been fixed for 2012). But the Sram RED and 1099 and 1090 cassettes are works of art and weigh a lot less.
Are Shimano Mountain Bike Wheels Worth Buying?
There was a day when nearly every Mountain bike had Shimano hubs and somebody else’s rims. Then prebuilt system wheels became popular and even Shimano had to enter the wheel business. But now days they just don’t have the market share they once had.
Electric integtration on a Mountain Bike
I've looking at the latest developments in Mountain Biking recently, and the biggest things of late have been 29ers, 10x2 drivetrains, and just more variety.
There hasn't been anything major from Shimano, Sram, Rockshok, Fox or frame innovations from the Major frame manufacturers for a while.
Is Sram a threat to Shimano's dominance?
Shimano has grown to a cycling market colossus since entering the market in the 1970s. In the 90s it was virtually the only option for a complete Mountain Bike group set, and did battle with Campagnolo for the road bike segment. So despite Sram so aggressively chasing Shimano's market share why is Shimano still so dominant?
29ers vs. 26" MTBs
There’s a new trend going in the mountain bike world, mountain bikes with larger 29? wheels instead of the standard 26? wheels. A lot of big brands are coming out with more and more 29? model in their range.
But what differences do they offer to 26? MTBs?
Hydraulic shifting- the future of shifting??
Will the recently released hydraulic shifting from Acros be the future of shifting? Well I sure think so. Probably the most innovative improvement in bike technology is some time.
