Interbike Wrapup

October 4th, 2007 by admin · No Comments ·

Interbike, Product And Technology News

CyclingNews wraps up their coverage with 3 reports:

  • Race Face introduces a full carbon MTB crank
  • NoTubes offers an alternative to the Shimano/Hutchinson tubeless system. They have a retrofit that will allow most rims to run the Hutchinson tires without tubes.
  • Pearl Izumi adds to and refines their line of shoes. They also announced that they will be clothing the Slipstream/Chipotle team in 2008.
  • Easton revamps its entire wheel line and plans to market a new carbon crankset as well.

 Pez Cycling News notes that everyone and their sister are coming out with cranks this year:

  • A sub-400g crank from Ingenu. I assume that this does not include the BB.
  • Another view of the Easton crank mentioned above - it’s said to come in at 660g complete for under $600.
  • Zipp shows their 4 arm road crank. I believe I heard some talk around that there were some problems with their previous crankset. They worked with Cannondale on this one. 570 grams out the door.
  • Lightning Bikes introduces (surprise!) a carbon crankset that will be 570g with BB and rings.
  • FSA’s very cool and beefy looking Neo TT crank.

VeloNews also has a couple of reports:

  • Another “look” at the Look 586
  • Road and mountain helmets from Giro and Bell
  • New off road saddles from Fizik
  • The Ibis Mojo SL, and the jack-of-all-trades Tranny
  • Time’s new cyclocross bike
  • A little more on Stan’s NoTubes for road
  • Tubeless cyclocross tires from Hutchinson
  • Mavic’s superlight Cosmic Carbone Ultimate wheelset (1120g for the pair)
