itl all start going around again
bikes will get more colourfull
the race stuff will get used on the street
oops its broken , better make it stronger ;D
trials bikes have a continuous freewheel because when they are hopping around on the rear wheel and about to release the brake/put all your weight on the pedal for a gap the last thing you want is to find you chain has come off . so the clicking lets you know your ready to go . it also keeps the weight in the centre of the bike so makes it easier to throw around
ive given it a lot of pondering but to keep a sensible gearing with the largest freewheel being an 18t the rear would be a 7 or even a 6 and its hard enough getting a chain to go around an 8 ;D
big bars will come back in i think . id love to try some 9" , i have my stem flipped and stacked and it feels great for it
im sure someone will twig there is a market for tubless tyres and rims ::)
atomlab makes a hydraulic gyro , but bmx doesnt need discs . although ive seen a few maguras on bmx
maybe someone will give a fixed chainstay and eccentric bottombracket a go
am i right in thinking animal has made a rim with no braking surface ? im sure ive seen that
the tech end might give thermoplastics a go in levers and seatclamps , maybe even barends
different optioned durometer rated tyres
someones bound to rip off greg melms seatclamp idea :(
ooh , fluted tubed forks and ive always had a press in alloy steerer tube in the back of my mind
http://www.carbondrivesystems.com/ although i dont think were ready for the idea of splitting our stays :-\
edit - i always used to use spokey dokes but my mates kept telling me they thought parts were falling off ;D but ive found they can be pressed onto the nipple well enough :)
