My friend Chuck in Italy just sent me this photo of a sweet, composite wheel. It’s composite because it will end up in pieces, even if it didn’t start that way.
BMC’s full-suspension 29er. Maybe Europe is waking up.
The survival of bike companies now depends largely on their access to carbon fiber. The new Intense Carbine is one example of a company adapting to a new manufacturing reality.
