Close, ambergris.My guess: whale blubber.
Graphene?
Y'all are wrong it will be new drop out spacing
29.5 with 113 front and 151 rear, it is called mid-super-will-be-better-boost.30" wheels.

This revolutionary “new” material makes me laugh. I had a graphite tennis racket in the late 80’s for Pete’s sake. And graphite fishing rods are older still. It’s just a different layup when you think about it. The advances are, to my minds eye, in the new resins. Hard to make “ try our new glue” sound sexy doe.
Graphene is simply one atomic layer of graphite - a layer of sp2 bonded carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal or honeycomb lattice. Graphite is a commonly found mineral and is composed of many layers of graphene.
If its change that it will cost 50% less then that would make the cycling world move, otherwise its just another way to make your human powered vehicle cost more then a motorized one
Yeah, I'm thinking this direction as wellyeah, but high temperature levitation and superconductivity. can't get that in the old CF....
i'm guessing a low cost electronic/automagic derailleur, and a bb with internal gearing, so 12 cogs in the back, 8 speed in the front for a 96 speed bike.
and wireless electronic brakes - may as well make them internal too. and autopilot.
