In celebration of Fair Wheel Bikes' 50th Anniversary we have dusted off our stiffness testing apparatus to once again measure crank stiffness. This time we have a pile of modern road bike cranksets to see where each crank manufacturer stacks up.
Feedback releases a new repair stand
In the past year we've done deflection testing on cranks, stems and road handlebars. Now it's time to introduce the Mtb handlebar testing. For this first round of testing we've tested 50 different handlebars. While each model may not be unique each one does have unique characteristics. For example we may have tested the same bar in different lengths to see how length affects stiffness. We also looked at this with some rise and sweep options as well as different materials.
Enve's newest frameset aimed squarely at the exploding gravel racing and bike packing scene has finally been released upon the masses.
What is a MOG? According to Enve a MOG is a noun, verb, acronym, and unequivocally a state of mind for those
who push the boundaries of distance and rolling exploration.
We were lucky enough to receive Enve's new MOG frameset before launch and had the chance to go over it with a fine tooth comb.
To some people bicycles are just a form of transportation and the bike is just a tool, something to be locked up outside while at work or when running errands.
Other's want a machine built specifically for racing. Something low and long, with the stiffest and lightest components possible, where every gram counts and speed is everything.
Somewhere a few steps back from pure race machine, where expert craftmanship and art you can ride meets, is where this Enve Melee falls.
