@@Pragmatist101and which “people” again may I ask? The ones that still ride their 1900s steel bike and don’t spend a single cent on new parts? Look, I share your enthusiasm for cheap electronic shifting alternatives. But let’s be realistic, because rim brakes sales don’t make up enough to actually make it viable for the post pandemic cycling audience.

I remember the days when you purchased Shimano's products safe in the knowledge that your new item was high quality, durable and functional, a genuine investment in your ride! Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore! Just remember how lovely Shimano's 9 speed XT drivetrain shifted, not to mention how long it lasted and then compare it to the crunching, grinding and horrifyingly noisy current XT 12 speed system. It really feels like the quality has gone, it's almost like Shimano has become SRAM 15 years ago.
Like the intense "gallon o' coffee" presentation style! Magene coming up with the goods, again. Take my money already.

I met you at the show on this day. I'm the guy with uneven q factor problem with the cranks. Thanks for the water bottle. TBH, your video is better than the Shanghai bike show itself. I'm pretty sure that most brands on display at the show don't really exist. They are there to sell their manufacturing capability rather than their own branded bikes. You don't see these bikes on the road ever. And you cannot buy these bikes from anywhere.

Was pretty set on the bross zenith a month ago (they've confirmed they're selling overseas and will have a webpage up soon), but with the new seka and a possible discount on the van rysel now that I'll be working at decathlon I'm getting really anxious with choices. The magene groupset is a very pleasant surprise, I trust them to sort things out. The ltwoo tt setup is something I was hoping for but didn't really expect. There's an annual 12hr tt organised by my local club so being able to just pop a set of tribars with satellite shifters on my bike is a really attractive possibility. I'd heard of neutron before but never really looked into them. Glad to hear they're actually a farsports brand! 360g for a 24mm spindle at 350$ and 8-bolt mount is getting me excited in all the right places. Much more commonplace than cinch mount and crucially for me, Magene compatible, personally trust them way more than sigey and xcadey (my p505 base has been the dog's bollocks, as a certain somebody would say). Will you be selling these as well?
oh cool. wasn't expecting tt groundset but if it's cheap enough i might buy it.

A suggestion for TT bikes in general: have a look at the disc brake area, that's one of the bug bears for aero. Looks like the Pardus front disc area has a cowl over the caliper, etc? It looks kinda awesome and would have been well worth a 5 second shot of that area of the bike. Front and back but esp front as the air comes in clean and then hits all kinds of turbulence. The only other suggestion is a shot from head on - pointing towards the bike as if you are air about to hit the bike. Always good to see the front profile for aero thoughts. I like the look of the Pardus, thanks for the video. ETA: I just did a search and Pardus tri bikes have been around for 6 years or more?
