East Coast Interbike!

The Trials Stunt Show was fun. Though no one knew how to make noise for it.

Tested... The Parlee CX bike with Edge carbon clinchers....
Great ride.... Stiff & efficient. Chattery-while-braking front fork though.

Parlee 's racks were made of carbon....

Tested ( and abused). Nicolai with SRAM Hammerschmidt. Heavy bike that likes to be thrown off things. Hammerschmidt feels like it was built by NASA.

D.Y taking the full carbon Scott Genius 20 off a little marble slab. Carbon is strong!

Just some Rhode Island wildlife seen while riding out on the road bike loop.

The baggy shorts bandits stealing a pair of outta-their-league Parlee Time Trial rigs. Very stiff bikes

A while ago we decreed:

"Here are 3 things that can ensure that the east coast event is as successful as the west coast daddy:"

Swag - In Reality what we found in Providence: Very little..... nea, none. Grade : F

Beer - Bud or Bud light at the end of the day by Pedro's : B minus ( clam chowder was good )

Stars - None. Well, Zellman the bigwig from SRAM was seen working the booth. The Keough brothers were selling raffle tix for a TV to raise money for another Championship winning trek. And Adam Sullivan was seen in his civies wandering aimlessly. Richard Fries was surrounded by Paparazzi & completely inaccessible all day long..... Grade - D plus

OVERALL - B minus. The single track was fun, albeit very brief. Bikes were always available to ride. And parking was a breeze. Plus no desert conditions ( choking hot dust, radioactive sunlight, razor sharp rocks ) to deal with. Lack of downhills was frustrating.

Tuft surprised many people with a second place in the WORLD ( not North American mind you, not the Canadian, the world ) Time Trialing Championships. Those of you that didn't notice the silver medal should right now. People respect him. He is known to be "clean" and will have a much deserved spot on the Chipotle team next year.

This guy has Rockstar written all over his mug. Read the story, throw away your razor, fill an extra water bottle with lead ball bearings, kill your next supper, go out and get stronger.

File under "nearly a good idea"...
a metal plate with a message to put into your carry on luggage... The x-ray screener reads it and has a chuckle... Haha.. You're so witty....

Seriously though, as I was returning from Vegas i put my Egg Beater pedals into my carry-on. First stop; McCarren International... the screener simply paused and looked my way toward as i waited for the bag and asked. "You got bike pedals in here?". Dude knew his stuff. I said yes and the bag emerged... We actually had to go thru security in Newark again to get on the connecting flight... 2nd time thru, the screener stopped, tilted his head, called someone else over... Discussed it among themselves, called a 3rd person over... Bag got pulled for inspection. I said nothing... Didn’t take too long to find them and the kind lady looked at them with those latex gloves on, seriously confused as to what they were... Lots of "ohhhhh, I get it now" when i ended up saying what they were... As i walked away, She advised me "pack those away next time, they got a lot of suspicion...."

Reflections on Interbike 1

The show was a little more low key this year and i would suspect that the economy kept perhaps 10- 15 less vendors from coming. Interbike will tell you that the numbers were the same from last year but i think that is creative counting to save face. There was a whole side wall empty and uninhabited. It actually became the testing grounds for strange "run to bike" bikes, skateboard variations, recubants and other oddities. There were less of the Stars and Signings. Only once or twice did we come across lines for autographs that stretched "around the block" as it were. In years past seeing that was a thrice daily thing.

On the plus side, There was no shortage of things to look at and be impressed by. 13 lb road bikes dont draw the oohs and ahs like they used to, but there were still many tech. advances that showed the bike industry is vibrant as ever. Although i will say that there are too many companies making shoes and carbon wheels. Only the top 10% of each catagory actually shows innovation and uniqueness.

Also on the great side were the races that were associated with the show. They were more popular than ever. Cross Vegas did not disappoint. It was probably the strongest field EVER at a cross race in the states. And show management did a good job of bussing everyone without a car out to the race locale. They just have to find a way to make the race more dirty and muddy. The crit at Mandalay Bay again was fantastic and a true spectacle to behold.

Next up is Interbike-East toward the end of the month in Providence. This will still be an industry only event, which means that companies will probably ease up a little with the “on-edge-ness”. If it were a public event, expect less reps and insiders and more bike shop people with less nice stuff to handle and show-off. The event will be mid-week, which may or may not be a good thing. And it will be outside in the October chill… I expect less people will be ready to tear it up out on the bikes.

Here are 3 things that can ensure that the east coast event is as successful as the west coast daddy:

1 Swag
2 Beer
3 Stars

In the next post, I will discuss the bikes ridden and the highlights of the dirt demo days while out in Vegas.

Some shots from inside the convention hall:

Scott's New Plasma.
Awesome....

The simple and to the point graphic
in the Da Kine bike travel bag.

A new system for inflating wheels utilizing the force of the
spinning hubs. The applications are many. Probably a great thing
for free-riders.

A\X Lightness ' s Road brakes. 96 grams for the pair. Unreal weight for
$1600... Performance is suspect of course. But Rockstars dont stop.

The Cervelo space is always a busy one.
Here is the new generation P4. Production models will differ a tad, but this is pretty much the bike.

An awesome paint job on a Chrome messenger bag. This is completely Rockstar in every wonderful sense of the word.
Look for a honest review of their Citizen bag soon.

Cinqo has been around for a couple of years. Their new Quarq power measurement system seems to hit the bull's eye.
It replaces your spider and only adds 150 grams or so. Works wirelessly with Garmin's and Powertaps too. Cost is considerably less than Powertap. Just under a grand is the "street price"

Showers Pass is a new clothing company from Oregon. These outer shells were very well recieved by attendees. They feature all the technical functions of top shelf shells, but sport tweed and houndstooth patterns that make them look like they are from Banana Republic. These will further erase excuses to not ride to work on a daily basis.

Yet another ex-Pro with a bike line named after him. At least this model has an interesting head-badge.

Rockstars need to listen to music 24\7 or their will to create and inspire slowly withers away. Enter this music system for your bike. Wireless transmitting from your ipod to speakers that sound pretty good. Hands-free calling too if you are using an iphone or other phone\music player.

Number 15. . . . . . . . Vegas day 3

Inside Interbike...

Fuji's new TT bike

Rear brake is hidden away. Safe from the wind.

A new saddle bag from Serfas that needs only one strap around the seatpost. ( great idea)

A witty putt putt game from SRP...

New carbon Cranks from Look. (very light)

The first time up the barriers during the crazy Pro\Elite Cross race. Fans 4 deep all around. Notice the guy riding ( he hopped em, and went on to grab many dollar bills from the fans everytime he hopped em )
