Anyone heard anything about these? I assume there will be a delay due to the factory fire. They have a solid core for strength to prevent snapping and are hollow on the outside to make them light.

that's fake news. They havent been released yet. And any way Shimano have been testing them with gorillas with olympic 25kg plate arm bands doing 87ft road gaps.

They all melted in the fire, so Shimano are retesting with a fire proof alloy.

I heard for financial but mainly ironic reasons that they are going to be manufactured by Snap-On.

They are going to be manufactured using the Dunning Kruger method.

Shirley the entire universe will be contained with the hollow, core bit. It would be like when you put your sock on inside out and the whole of existence less your foot is trapped in your sock till you turn it the right way round.

....Dunning Kruger....

did each think up either side of the effect and combine or did they work together holistically?
