More about 2007 SRAM parts, from the Taipei International Cycle Show
With the Taipei International Cycle Show wrapping up on Saturday, the sneak peek season is officially in motion. While both SRAM and Shimano let ’slip’ a glimpse of some 2007 over the past couple of weeks, more and more details are starting to show up on the ‘web.
VeloNews is first on the board with more details on SRAM’s 2007 group. Of note is the claim that SRAM’s X9 line will be relabeled as X7, something that is great for all of you blue collar riders out there. Unofficially, there’s going to be three new freeride forks from Rock Shox, including a lower priced model (Domain), a ‘light freeride’ version (Lyric), and a top-end model (Totem). Each of the forks is set to have oversized stanchions and the two higher priced versions have a load of external adjustments and damping options.
Also, VeloNews has the scoop on new items by Crank Bros., a word from American Classic on last year’s recall, some notes on new product from the tire companies, and photos of it all.
