Going down the list...some of those are uh...not new for 2024.

UDH is my pick. Even if you don't want transmission...there being a semblance of an industry standard should be a welcome change. If 80% of companies feel the pressure from SRAM that's a win.

For sure .. many if these are not NEW .. But new for for someone who hasn't bought a bike in 5-10 years.

What trends might I otherwise add??

Let's seeeeee....

Raised reverse stems, saddle position switcher, inverted forks (not new, but coming back), hidden shocks inside frames, poly spokes, magnetic clipless pedals, droppers that go up and down by themselves, fork bleeder valves, mixed wheel bikes, flip switches on frames..

You forgot E automatic transmission and E pinion transmission and anti lock brakes

I have no idea what e-bike tech has come out, nor do I care to.

Best trend is tubeless sealant that actually works. Silca is supposed ti be a game changer and that will push the others to come put with something new.

Well at least we know where you stand 😂

I'm not anti e bikes, not by a long shot. I just don't care about them like I don't care about dirt bike suspension or pickle ball racquet reviews.

Anyone got any experience with magnetic clipless? I’m too big a p***y to try the real thing and yet every time I ride I lose count how many times I drop F bombs cuz I can’t get one of my feet properly planted.

 

[knobbyhead]

As a man of avg height, a 200 mm dropper would be amazing.

also, antilock brakes? Would that be awesome or lucky?

I have been eyeing these up myself. I have been riding spd since these first came out in 1990 and would love to test the Hustle pedals.

I had it on my fs for a couple years, really not new. But yes, it’s great.

Med or large frame?

 

[serviceguy]

Med or large frame?

Large. Also the specific design of the frame allows for a longer dropper post as the seat tube is straight all the way to the bottom bracket. Longer travel means more seat tube is needed, especially if you need to slam it. My transfer is all the way into the seat tube, right to it’s collar.

+1 on rouge and natural trails. Remember when this sport was rebellious, dangerous, and purposely made to be difficult? Now we go out of our way to make it easier and more "accessible".

And that Push inverted fork is money! And lots of money.

Add Berd spokes.

 

[ebarker9]

I'm not sure to what extent this will actually emerge as a trend, but it's interesting to consider. I can imagine that there could be value in increasing stack height and increasing chainstay length to maintain front/rear traction balance. Given how much focus there has been on reach in recent years, this seems like the next logical place for geometry experimentation, particularly on larger frame sizes where you can wind up with people riding fairly extreme saddle to bar drop numbers.

Henry dons his Canadian tuxedo to talk about why higher stack values and longer chainstay could be the future. Maybe.

These OG's probably have less than eight hours ride time on them (from 1989), and they're available 😂
