Mavic Acaba de presentar estas nuevas ruedas que se podrán ajustar según el tamaño del cuadro a las que queramos adaptarlas. Es el primer boceto del prototipo, After years of development, Mavic, today, introduced a revolutionary mountain bike wheel system. With one technological breakthrough, Mavics CrossMaxSizer fitment system allows a rider to buy just one wheelset that can be adapted to fit all the mountain bikes they might own, whether they use 26, 650b, or 29er wheels. The new wheelset is called Ctwentysix50bNINER. The new Ctwentysix50bNINER modular wheel system is built on a 26-inch Crossmax ST mountain bike wheel for the base structure. Testing revealed that this fundamental wheel system is strong and stiff enough to readily adapt to multiple sizes. Its remarkably clever, if I may say so myself, Mavic PR person Zack Vestal said via press release. We devised a system by which the rim outer diameter can actually be increased or decreased at the users discretion. On the one hand, we are getting a little sick of all these different size standards, Vestal said. I mean, cant we decide on just one size for all the mountain bike wheels? But on the other hand, we wanted to offer something really different and satisfy these guys who cant make up their bloody minds. With CrossMaxSizer technology, the Ctwentysix50bNINER converts from 26 inches to 650b, and from 650b to 29er.To increase the bead seat diameter for 650b usage, a snap-on expander ring fits into the UST tire bed and tightens into place with recessed setscrews. Just like the original tire bed, the CrossMaxSizer expander ring is fully UST compliant, with an airtight tire bed and 19mm inner width. The Ctwentysix50bNINER easily fits 29er bikes and tires with the addition of a second CrossMaxSizer expander ring, mounted on top of the first expander ring. We found a light, flexible composite for the expander rings, so they really dont add much weight, offered Mavic MTB product tester Joaquin D. Trayle. Plus, as you add CrossMaxSizer rings to achieve the 29er tire size, youre adding rim depth. So theres a nice aero benefit, too. April fools!!
No se si no has visto la última frase, April fools fue el domingo. PD: Por si alguien duda, sí, es una broma.
Exacto, para los que no estén puestos en las tradiciones anglosajonas, nuestro 28 de diciembre es su 1 de abril. Todos los años estoy pendiente para ver las noticias que salen ese día, sobre todo en ciclismo y aviación.
Estuve tentado de ponerlo el domingo, pero me pudo la vagancia... Pero en foros guiris coló de lo lindo...
