A few years ago people starting referring to certain China wheelsets as not just "the best Chinese wheels" or "the best budget wheels" but simply "the best wheels". This year, Winspace released the T1600, a CDM (Chinese Domestic Market) product that costs more than a Madone or a Tarmac. It's UCI approved right out of the box (though you may need to tape some lead weights to it to get it to pass the weight restrictions). Western buyers need not apply, though they no doubt will try.

Western brands were folding right and left before the iron curtain 2.0 was raised, now the "tiro de gracia" has been fired and big companies like Trek are going to go bankrupt because their supply chains have been cut off by Import Substitution Industrialization, a popular third world development tactic pioneered by visionaries like Pinochet and Galtieri.

Is this the end of the western bike era? Will tomorrow's dentists settle for nothing less than Chinese bikes on 100% Chinese groupsets?

>>2071483
Rim brakes definitely don't work better, but I take issue with people pretending they don't work at all. I never understood the meme of saying they don't work in the rain. I was able to setup up cantilevers with cheap pads to stop me going down hill in the rain. That's not even with salmon kool stop pads, and it was on the first bike I ever did work on myself.
>>
>>2071484
Of course they work in the rain, just like non antilock brakes work in the snow, but strangely everyone seems to agree that "works better" is a compelling reason to buy something over something else.

Why did bikes take so long to het disk brakes? Cars have had them for a long time. Clamping onto the rim of the wheel to stop is the dumbest shit imaginable.
>>
>>2071488
The amount of clamping power you need to break effectively with good modulation on 140mm dicks is astronomical compared to the amount of clamping power you need on the outer rim of a 700c wheel. So hydraulic is really the only way to go, and the bike industry was coasting on cable break inertia. Hydraulic breaks came out for mountain bikes a long time ago, but that is a simpler system to switch over, because the breaks are their own separate thing. A road bike has a combined breaking/shifting assembly. So you have to switch essentially all of the most expensive and complex parts of the bike. And that costs money to finance that initial jump, which is why the first systems were exclusive pro-tier setups.

The other thing that accelerated the push was the expanded availability of carbon fiber parts. With carbon becoming more affordable it was possible to make wide, stable, gentle-riding, grippy, stiff, aerodynamically efficient wheels without a major weight or cost compromise. But this rendered most of the unc break designs incompatible with the build. Since a new set of breaks was going to be needed anyway, suddenly it made sense to put dicks on everything.

the french are making a fret airship, mostly for canada, to transport mostly lumbering in remote area, so there's a future for airship fret
it's also interesting because you barely need any infrastructure for transport itself so you don't have to buy a ton of separate properties to lay rail like train
also there's multiple prototypes of anchored airships with turbines that can be an alternative to wind turbines that need a gorillion tons of aluminium (pollute to make and recycle) and the other gorillion of tons on concrete necessary so your aluminium pillar stay in place (which destroy soils)
so unironically airships are the future but it's too inefficient sizewise to be used as a trailer car

It would be more accurate to call them the E-bike riders of the sky. Much like how the only reason people ride e-bikes is because they're too retarded to get a proper electric motorcycle license, paramotorists are simply too mentally retarded to get a proper drivers license, and neither of them respect the rules of their given forms of transportation

Great machine to fly on Oct 7!

Is riding on top end groupsets if you're not a top end cyclist stolen valor? Or is this sour grapes?

What groupset would you ride if you could get any groupset you wanted for free, but when/if you sold the bike you would have to price it as whatever groupset you ride now. That is, if your financial circumstances were no different and you were subject to the same "rules" as you currently as in terms of other people judging (because we all know unlimited wealth begets shamelessness), what do you choose?
