Thanks again really enjoying your taking us to the show! One thing a bit depressing though ....with the exception of the older Colnago in the hypoxic training room & the Bryton bike showing their varia version seems rim brakes are gone 😒 I am glad Winspace is still doing the rim frame but seeing this show really drives it home that there is precious little coming our way
So good this reporting! You just get better and better with your reporting on China Cycling.... Joe!! Thank you for being so completely on point with your coverage.
Very interesting that Chinese brands are promoting the Taiwan - Taipei bicycles trade event. Most Chinese brands are precluded from exhibiting and in some cases, participating in the show. I am even seeing promotions to attract international Taiwan attendees to visit Shenzhen following the show.
Maybe because in the past there were too many Taiwanese brands to accept smaller non-Taiwanese brands. But with the current sharp downturn in the bike industry, maybe many smaller brands have gone out of business or opted out of setting up a booth. I know even Giant is extending the payment terms to its suppliers so the smaller players are likely fared worse.
@@ChinaCycling It would be foolish to not recognize the potential challenge to manufacturing and supply chains if you think beyond 2024. Xi has made it very clear that the CCP will take control of the island of Taiwan by 2027. I understand your point about conducting business, but you must admit that should this action take place, conducting business during this time will be a real issue. Good business people need to have plans in place for alternative (temporary or permanent) resources.
Maybe the reason why there are few carbon composite bikes is that first its goddamn expensive and also the temperature in asian countries is so hot it ruins the materials of the carbon fiber. Metal and alloy is the material of choice for tropical countries
OMG! 😃👍 The woom children's bike with hydraulic fork, disk brakes and gear shifter made me jealous! 🤭 I mean... I grew up in communist Germany in the 1970's. 😂 Aerozine colorful bike parts and the plywood balance bike - very cool. 😃👍
Always interesting. Have I really just seen a bike with a transparent window insert in the head tube so we can see the internal cable routing………….whatever next ? …………oh yes those wheels 🫣
I think you should wear the 1st (extra) BB shirt or the 3rd shown (2nd on the rack) while you ride the Pinarello of the thumbnail! 😂 Disguised in neon-"camo". 🤭 Could you combine that with an Aerozine chainring, a pink bottle and a yellow bottlecage, please!? 😂🤭
I think what SRAM has done is brilliant. You are using logic from the days of QR technology. Now the axle is integral with the mech. The forces won’t just be hung on a lever through the frame. They will transmit directly to the axel which has a massively resisting moment. Same thing with the tollerancing. If the dropout wasn’t machined perpendicular to the wheel, the through axle wouldn’t be able to thread into the dropout. And even if it was out of tolerance the trough axel would bring it back in once you tighten the threads.
If the mech gets hit, the mech will try to "twist" the dropout, and the thru-axle will resist. That's gonna be putting some nasty forces through carbon dropouts tho...
@@ChinaCyclingit’s the same resisting force that is going through the axle….. The same thing that is supporting the wheel….. the wheel that gets hurled through the air with a 200lb rider on top. It’s genius if you ask me.
@@ChinaCycling The dropouts should be designed to resist the moment produced by the wheel. Not only is the moment arm of the wheel twice as long, the forces of roosting a berm should be 10x that you could ever produce by impacting the derailleur. That's the brilliance of what they've done here. No one has stopped to rethink this whole system since the death of quick release levers.
Awesome vid, just a Curious question. Where do Sagmit, Mountain Peak, etc... and other similar brands made? Since they from Taiwan, re they from known brand factories as well then rebranded? Same Ltwoo. Im from the Philippines and a lot of great frames like Sagmit, Weapon, Mountain Pek, Foxter, but cheaper
I think what people missed is that this move from SRAM deviates from universality. Most complaints people have towards hangers is the non-uniformity between brands and frames and the UDH solved that. With the integrated hanger, SRAM forces bike manufacturers to conform around the brand-specific RD design, which is a step backwards from UDH. Shimano tried this before but with an RD bracket that is replaceable in case of crash damage and people didn't vibe with it, how much more an RD that uses more material, has proprietary design, and puts itself first over the frame.
No, I think you've missed the fact that the new Sram derailleur uses the UDH mounting pattern on the frame, so it actually solidifies the UDH standard with a dedicated derailleur. Any frame that doesn't use the UDH standard is going to seem antiquated very quickly. But those frames can still use UDH so they're backward compatible with every old derailleur
@@galenkehler but you also missed the fact that SRAM's new schematics and specifications have gotten rid of the frame-integrated protruding stopper that limits the UDH's angular displacement to a finite range and replaces it with the knurled washer to "limit" rotation. Thus, the UDH fitted to the new dropout can rotate rearwards during impact without stopping (which introduces problems).
Even with a standard hanger, if they're out of line, you just straighten the hanger relative to the wheel. While less of a problem now, imperfect hangers out of the box was extremely common for rim brake bikes, even many expensive ones.
Lol Thermaltake isn't some little heatsink manufacturer that switched to bikes. They are still a massive name in the PC parts space. My case and half my water cooling gear is Thermaltake.
Any word on the Packgo ex and TT availability in the US? cant find anything online other than the original packgo x which appears to be out of stock everywhere
So I' was wondering.... Would that Topeak MTB bottle cage be compatible with my gravel bike? Because I'm having issues with my gravel helmet while riding my road bike....😁😂😜
Regarding this new SRAM direct mount derailleur, I was initially concerned like you. But then I realized that the axle would have to bend before the force could twist the drop out. And I’m guessing the through Axle is pretty strong. What do you think? Great video btw!
PT has emphasized that since the axle is a stiff material, it's still gonna transmit most of the forces into the dropouts. Plus, the knurled washer grinding the dropout (therefore reducing DS dropout width and losing thru axle preload) and the pressure towards cheaped-out factories in making better tolerances is still glaringly present.
I wouldn't worry about it. Seems like most mountain bike riders I know buy a new bike every season. A bad crash, the frame should maybe be replaced anyway. As far as maintenance of the derailleur and its fit on the frame. I would think if needed that a shim could easily made out of an aluminum soda can, about .003" to .005 " or a piece of plastic packaging anywhere from. 002" to .02" depending on the fit required.
Oh man that is a lot of speculation about the projected issues with srams new udh, universal derailleur hanger. I dont know much about it at all, so I watched a quick video about the installation, and I've heard the podcast worldwide cyclery did where they cover it. It seems like the axle slides through the dropouts and hanger, providing rigidity to the entire system, allowing for that shift under load. Wouldnt the axle take most of the forces in a crash? Idk im gonna guess this was tested for 4+ years before it was brought to market. Its episode 109 of MTB Podcast in case you think we're all retarded and wrong.
China Cycling has picked a side. He has chosen PeakTorque. SRAM are readying their assassin's as we speak. To he honest, all their publicity regarding the new groupo has been cringey. I'll stick with traditional derailleur hangars thanks. That miniVelo was pretty cool.
@@ChinaCycling Lol, they know the flak they'll get if the product fails, worse, they could end up having to do a recall. They should have thicker skin. You have every right to question it.
Maybe pick and choose what you want to show us? Because some stands you filmed, talked, and I'm still unsure what was interesting or even sold there. Thermaltake comes to mind...
Thermaltake are a bike shop... they sell mostly western bike brands. Wasn't much to show there that you can't see in the west anyway... but yeah, it gets overwhelming
14:55 Have a look at the new SRAM chain... 2 extra holes in each link. How much do they save? 15 grams? But how much grinding dirt will be stuck in there? 🤦♂️ Stupid!
Stijn Cycles is pronounced like a stain ... or Kurt Cobain ... it is a Flemish name and given the Flemish Lion in their logo, I am assuming that is where the name comes from, and why it shoud be pronounced as such.
@@ChinaCycling Yes, I saw that video a couple hours after my comment. Also got in contact with Stijn (he is indeed Flemish). THANK YOU Joe for all your work. I am SUPER exited about your ambition to make PP into a place where we can customize and get the bike we want. You are always welcome to ride bikes with me anywhere in the world I travel (60 countries and counting). I will take care of you.
Can I ask you for a favor could you do a show on kid/BMX bikes right now we’re having a debate companies that build BMX bikes in China would help thanks
Your SRAM transmission controversy(s) are way over exaggerated. If one takes a hit or hits that massive, one should worry about fractured bones and skull not the carbon frame. I have been using the SRAM transmission for more than 4 months and it is a true masterpiece, and for more than 17 years of hard MTB riding I never had a "massive" hit on my rear derailleur.
Your concerns with the excessive forces created by the SRam Transmission system i do not agree. Maybe another youtuber can lift this concerns for you soon.
SRAM will no doubt be requesting manufacturers who use their direct mounted derailleur to ensure the frame is designed for it....I think all the negativity about it is silly....the new mounting is much stronger and will give better shifts and reliability.
This show looks boring same old same old for example how come in 2023 we are still using derailleurs to change gears ? this was invented over 100 years ago and we still do not have a better system ? how come in this era of recycling materials we are usin carbon fiber very difficult to recycle and toxic in landfill very disappointing !!!

this looks very promising! nice one to check out in the future...👀
Great job, i would like to take some parts of your video to show to my followers, i will share the link to your video too!!!
Give the man a pat on the back for the thumbnail.
Quite the hairdresser indeed!
Maybe we will see you showcasing your BB's at these events soon! 😊
.. probably duped ..
How come you're not there? Don't they allow 5 year Olds?
Why?
Thank you for the kind feature! Our BB fans were really excited when they saw this video and shared it with us. Peace and love from Malaysia 🇲🇾 ❤
Incredibly beautiful jerseys. Will be placing an order before Summer comes to my part of the USA.
C'mon most impressive thing there is the dude on the step ladder!
I was just about to say that... 😄
As others have stated, the real highlight of this show was that man taking his ladder for a ride.
Yeah, but it doesn't qualify as a tall bike. But it sure was impressive. I don't know how it fits in with the show's health and safety regulations.
Meets all Taiwan safety standards....
The guy was a legend.

Very hard to find a rim brake bike on the show.
Rim brake bikes do work really well as indoor training bikes, you can set them up on a trainer and not worry much about the brakes at all
You mean no big brand race focused rim brake bikes. Go to smaller brands there is still plenty of it.
Excellent as always!
Thanks again!
Wow, just floors and floors of future landfill.
Trigon bike are going back to the scene.. Niceeee
Thanks for the nice feature!! (Sorry we're late to the party. 🤧
Missed opportunity not having that cleaning robot dressed up as WALL-E 😂
I'd have gone for R2-D2
thanks, very useful.
Lots of new cool bike stuff but that guy on the ladder was number one.
Wow! The new SRAM rear derailleur is causing more controversy than Boris and Partygate 😮
Ha ha. The Bike Tech Nerdsphere is a small universe. I don't think No. 10 Downing is preoccupied with other matters.
My cycplus arrived 2 days ago. I've not had to use it in anger yet but in a simple test it seems to work really well.
It sounds angry. Haha.
The greenish/golden Upload (Totem) road bike and the rather classical Trigon road bikes, especially the orange one, *very, very nice* ! 🙂
So good this reporting! You just get better and better with your reporting on China Cycling.... Joe!! Thank you for being so completely on point with your coverage.
Thanks again!
Thanks for showing the Trigon stand really dig this brand! 👌🏾👌🏾
Their AR01 looks stunning!
The bikes looked well thought out
Excellent! TY!
That little wooden strider bike was cool
Check out worker moving the ladder at about @3:10. OSHA in USA would have a conniption.
sram's engineers might have been spending too much time in that hypoxic chamber

I know, all those hours wasted by me coming down the ladder to move it...
The SRAM derailleur has the rear axle running through it. If the frame dropouts are off a bit, shifting WILL NOT be effected.
