Got to love the random 'potential IP infringement' booths at trade shows - it's always worth turning up early on the first day to see which ones get raided by the trademark police (who are particularly fun in Germany!).
The thought of having to charge my mech, remote, dropper, remote and battery if it’s an emtb (and probably brake levers soon) just to go out a rip in the woods sounds like hell 😂
@@livefreeandshred9818 yeah that may be the case but you still need to charge it and it’s the beginning of a slippery slope where most of the components need charged & I’m not interested in that at all, it’s a mtb 😂 My mechanical drivetrain works flawlessly too but it doesn’t need to be charged and I can fix it myself.
Never was too interested in heated grips, but now I can see the advantages. Toes and hands are first body parts to really feel the effects of the cold. If I lived in a cold climate I’d buy a pair and use them with heated socks.
I could feel the advantage in regular grim cold and wet conditions - I mean they feel like they'd be great in cold and dry too - interesting tech! Cheers Owen
Holy cow a Trinx! I got one of their bikes years ago for my son when he was young and getting started and I wasn't sure he would stick with mountain biking.
#askgmbntech - I know Anna got to do it, (and so did Doddy back in the day), but seeing him geek out about Gary, I am looking forward to seeing Owen get to Marin and get some time in with Gary along with Charlie, Tom, Otis, Joe both on the trails and in the museum. I was fortunate enough to do the legends ride out a couple of times (last time was with Peaty when he got into the Hall of Fame) and just hearing about the early days of Mountain Biking whilst on the trails with those guys was awesome.
@@OwenBikeNerd Oh for sure, the wooden bike was just beautiful. Love the TRINX, that was my favourite for sure. The Mother Of Pearl rims!!! OMG i would LOVE them!
I see no advantage for the consumer of the new SRAM OEM T Type groupset, only for the Bike manufacturers. It will reduce the initial cost of the bike, allowing the manufacturuer to offer the bike at a lower price point, but when parts wear our out or break ,the replacement SRAM options are expensive. Sure you could remove it all and replace with a cheaper mecanical groupset, but that is still going to be outlay and may not even be possible if the manufacture has cut costs even more and made no allowance for cable routing on the frame so it is 'wireless only'.
SKS have done a click valve adaptor! People are now complaining you have to cut the previous one off your existing pumps in the online forms but just buy another pump there will be all in ones soon! Love the click valve sick of my presta bending!
We could have done hours of new stuff to be fair - theres so much new stuff - but I feel / fear even more Eurobike stuff might be too much for some! Cheers Owen
Of seeing the latest new tech but can we watch the product more and less of you. No offense but you only showed a very quick shot of a really cool bike called the slider and the rest of the time it was him talking about the bike. 3 seconds shot of the bike and 30 seconds of a shot of just him talking
