In an attempt to get you all the new product news as it happens, Chipps is going to be uploading pictures of all the new things he’s discovered, then heading back to the show to find more and then returning later on and captioning things. You can usually work things out anyway from the photos, but we’ve got all the trade brochure info in the room here too and we’ll be adding details as we get a moment.
Also liking that green Foes, whatever it is it’s supposed to be!
That Ortlieb rucksack with the zip on the other side is a small stroke of genius.
Roks look like my favourite Thornton’s choc covered toffe chocs. Hmmmmm…!
Like the ortlieb bag though probably more useful for wet commutes/tours when you don’t want to be digging in for items every now and again out on the trail (or road). Good bit of thinking though.
Ti Moulton – yes please!
[quote]Who wants to be teh first to say ‘Ooh, I wouldn’t like to try that in the mud’? Pivot’s suspension causes the front mech to pivot, following the wheel path.

it doesnt need extra springs and pivots and boingy bits to do that surely? you just mount the mech on the swingarm rather than on the front triangle?
That Vivo rear mech looks interesting, is that an indexed shifter or an old scholl friction shifter?
That new Speedplay spud thing looks quite interesting too, I assume that the grub screws set the amount of +/- float on the cleat.
Some questions answered:
The Moulton is stainless steel
The mech and shifter is by Vivo – you shift up in the usual way, then to shift down you move your thumb to the end of the lever and push the lever towards to pivot (think ballpoint pen) – it works very well, but the blokie wouldn’t let us video it so you can see…
The Pivot’s front mech rises up and down, rather then rotating around the BB, which it would do mounting it on chainstay.
