And they laser etch a middle finger into one of the large cog teeth.

I mainly predict a bunch of pre-written stroke jobs will be published by the various outlets, much like Canyon's bi-plane release, when everyone published the same articles with the same pictures at the same time.

I will say that factory is gorgeous and their off-site "meeting place" is amazing.

+1

It's all too obvious who in the bike media are completely under the thumb of the big manufacturers.

Adhering to embargoes is one thing, but a huge number of articles are pathetically lacking in any editorial content and basically just come across as informercials.

You called it. Presence of etched middle finger still unconfirmed at this point.

So we actually did get something pretty nifty out of the 1x12 Shimano: Hyperglide +

Quote:
For MY2019, XTR M91000 introduces Hyperglide+ to finally offer Hyperglide shifting in both directions. No more chunky drops under hard accelerations. What’s the benefit? Shock-free shifting that’s 1/3 faster.

I'm pretty excited about that. I really value a smooth and quiet drivetrain.
