Thanks for the report- looks like there was a lot of cool stuff to think about from that show. I like Jim Cielencki's idea of varying the back-end length with the top-tube, and the idea of a normal headset that accepts integrated bearings. Kinda bummed about the new trail-kings though, they look far too thin, and IMO did not need to be changed at all.

Glad you guys liked it.

I had a lot of fun. I hope the article sounds that way. I tried to convey that it was fun, but tiring, and portray more of what Interbike is, rather than what people think it is.

My thanks to all the companies who put up with me. It was great meeting everyone. While I did not mention it in the report, I did miss someone, and I did look for him..

Kerry (syrbmx, Last Call), I did look for you. Not sure if you were there, but I did look.

Otherwise I think I met everyone who showed that I looked for.

I like how the design of the carnks has been compromised because everyone's gone for the mid bb. Imagine that bad boy with a 25mm axle and no wedge interface thingy. Or a spider type thing attached to the drive side arm and a new design of sprocket.

Also I'm not keen on the way the arm meets the axle boss, every crank I've seen with that so far has had a tendency to snap at that point.

Actually, George said he was surprised at how well they work with a 22mm.

He did not think it needed a 25 after all.

25mm presents some serious issues.

If this year showed anything, it is that companies are actually listening to you guys. Many are listening here.

The real pisser of the night though was how many times some jerkoff would go to grab his buddy and would end up with a handful of my hair, YANK! How can you grab a handful of hair and not know you are yanking somones head all over the place. It got so bad I had to stick it under my shirt. I do not meanit happened once or twice, it happened over a dozen times. Hey retards, watch what you are doing!

i would of delt out slaps mate. that's taking liberties innit?

Quote from: sheepdog

The Australians killed it.

they need to make up for thier pathetic attempts at playing cricket, bless em.

final edit bit - i'd love to go to interbike and geek it up. and i could out drink/drug consume most there too. it'd be hellacore to the max. i'd get munted, make a tit out of meself and get a free rim.

The article seemed depressing to me, but I'm glad you had a good time.

Good review Sheep, I think you pretty much showed everything that was worth showing. You missed a couple of parts, but someone will cover them soon. One thing that needs to be fixed in your review though is that the seat clamp on Robbies S3 is not a Fit. It is actually one of ours (ZodiacEng.). I think many people got confused with this because the pockets are similar to the S3 stem he is running. It was nice to meet you at the show and talk to you a little bit about everything.

I thought you seemed a bit weary at that point was all, and your scar was quite impressive. That thing covers a lot of distance!

yeah, i had taken a 6 am flight out of Austin that morning, which required me to wake up at 4 am, so i had been up for almost 24 hours (14 of them were spent with at least one drink in my hand)

next year, i'm taking a later flight...
