Now you have an excuse to dig up those old V-brake levers.

A few more randoms from Taipei Cycle Online.

Here's the first batch of intriguing tech we've spotted so far from the Taipei Cycle Show.

Always wanted to go to a tradeshow? We explain how Interbike, Eurobike, Sea Otter, and the Taipei Cycle Show work and what it's like to attend them.

We didn't get to go to the Taipei Cycle Show in person this year, so let's take a look back at some finds worth remembering.

Covid regulations mean that the Taipei show will be online only for now.

Virtually all bike industry trade shows were cancelled or postponed, so we're putting on a virtual trade show through the magic of the internet and the postal service.

The effects of the coronavirus will likely be felt on the sales floor and financial forecasts for much longer than the virus is in the news.

As travel and logistical restrictions mount, the show is pushed back until summer.

The Asian show will go ahead but with certain provisions in place due to the Coronavirus.

Another round of randoms from the Nangang Exhibition centre.

Wireless drivetrains from China, computerized valve caps that measure your power, and other goodies from inside the Taipei Cycle Show.

Fibre spokes, new tools, wireless shifting conversion kits and more from the Taipei Show.

The Taipei Cycle Show attracts exhibitors from all corners of the bike industry and there's a fair helping of strange products in the mix. Here are five of the most out there bikes we've seen in the Nangang halls.

Nothing to see here, just coating the teeth of a carbon chainring with powdered metal.

Each half of the two-piece arms are glued together.

The Motion Engineering says their shock is able to tell the difference between impacts that need damping and those that need the shock to move as freely as possible.

Mercury says that it "absorbs like Kevlar on steroids" and can resist a double impact of 120 joules but they flat out won't tell us what it is, meet Fiber X.

New pedals from VP, Funn, Xpedo and Da Bomb.

Here's proof you can have too much of a good thing

Suntour's Aion fork gets a new PCS damper, Jagwire's Pro Dropper Cable Kit makes more sense than it sounds like, and an anti-lock gizmo for your brakes.

Desperate to ditch the cable but strapped for cash?

Superlight components from Austrian brand Now8

Can't make it to Taiwan? Follow Levy on a two-wheeled tour of the Taipei Cycle Show to see what's new and interesting.

Need all the cogs? S-Ride's drivetrain might be just the ticket.

Two brake options from Rever that won't break the bank.

Air Fōm's modular tire insert ditches air for a flat-free ride.

Never heard of TOR? Me neither, but the new company has some neat products that set them apart from the crowd.

Pinion has a new gearbox shifter, but I imagine you're more interested in leather hairnet helmets, right? Either way, it's all in this one.

In the market for a titanium full-suspension frame? Me neither, but I sure do want one of these beauties.

Remember inner tubes? Tannus Armour believes there's still a place for them.

With a tweak or two and some fresh branding...

They also had their higher-end MZ group and an interesting XD-driver sleeve option.

Carbon fiber, all the pistons, and spring-loaded floating rotors?

And now I wish I was 3ft tall.

Should this be used on all stems and steerer tubes?

Tioga's front-specific Edge 22 doubles the amount of cornering edges.

Bored with the normal options? Here are a few lesser-known gems that may or may not work well.

Ever been to an outdoor demo held in the middle of a city of 2.6 million people?

TRP is not the first company that comes to most peoples' minds when they think of mountain bike brakes. The company's collaboration with Aaron Gwin, however, might change that. The new "G-Spec" Quadiem and Slate models both received a heavy dose of input from Gwin and are soon to hit the market. Here's the story.

A carbon BMX rim, Shimano's E8000 motor, and a crankset from Miranda that can fit nearly every bike out there.

Equal parts scary and interesting from the last day at the Taipei Cycle Show.

Here's everything you need to see from this year's Taipei Cycle Show.

Manitou is entering the fat bike market with their new Mastodon.

Could this tire make Tioga a player in the tire game?

Now8's 12-speed cassette and shifter are here.

The long-travel 29er market is getting more love from the bike industry's engineers these days. Here's a new 29er fork for the "Give 'er!" set.

What's new with tires? Well, that trend where they keep getting fatter? Yeah, that's still a thing. We're also seeing burlier models aimed at the long-travel 29 market. Here are a few.

More carbon rims, but these ones look a bit different...

Which of these five bikes would you want in your stable?

$1,199 USD is still a lot of money, but it's a hell of a lot less than what some other wheelsets cost.

KS rolls out two new posts—a top-tier model that the company claims is the lightest 150-millimeter travel post on the market, as well as a wallet-friendly model that'll add some competition to the mix.

DVO has always targeted the high end of the riding world. Today, however, the company showed off two new models that bring price down without, the company contends, any loss in performance.

Battery controlled shifting for a fraction of the price of Di2? Maybe.

There's another carbon wheelset option on the market, and this one looks quite different...

Could Innova's integrated tubeless design be the future of tires?

Carbon shmarbon; take a look at Production Privée's beautifully simple first full-suspension bike.

We're at the 2017 Taipei Cycle Show to see what's new, what's exciting, and what's weird.

From DH to XC, there's a little bit of everything in this roundup from the Nangang Exhibition Hall.

An electronic enduro bike, giant valve stems, a Ford fat bike and more from Taipei.

Folding helmets, HammerSchmidt, and more in this unique round-up from the Taipei Cycle Show.

It doesn't get much more random than this - scooters, folding bikes, CNC machines and more.

There were some mighty familiar looking frames on display at the show. Looks like a...

Speed bikes, belt drives, and robots. Come along with us for a tour of the Taipei Cycle Show.

Pinkbike is in Taiwan this week for the Taipei Cycle Show. Take a sightseeing tour of the area before the product reports start rolling in.

The Taipei Cycle Show was a hit again this year. Here is my final wrap up from the event and our time in Taipei.

Our Taipei Cycle Show product round-up.

The show goes on.

Day one is in the books, we're just getting started. Check it out!

KS was showing off their prototype telescoping seatpost that is targeted to be the lightest dropping post on the market, not to mention it using a cable actuation point on the post's outer tube that will remain stationary when the saddle is dropped.

We're going into Day 3 of the Taipei Bike Show and we've seen some pretty interesting sights so far. Inside you can check out some of things that caught out eye:

• Amara helmet from Kali Protection with built-in GoPro mount
• Kore's new crankset and aluminum railed saddles
• A thin and nearly axle-less pedal that weighs 112 grams per set
• Limar's colorful new lids
• ComeBest energy drink and KLG Chicken
• A visit to one of the tallest buildings in the world, Taipei 101

Angle adjustable headsets have been one of the most talked about products in recent times, but how about one that allows you to make adjustments nearly on the fly? Inside you can check out the VP Components version that does just that, letting you make up to 1.5° of non-indexed adjustment.

Pinkbike takes a closer look at Maxxis' new prototype downhill tire. Is this the tire that replaces the much loved Highroller?

Post Four from the Taipei Cycle Show ...

There are going to be a lot of pictures in this post. And they uploaded in a strange order and it was a pain trying to get them organized. If you stay until the end there are some actual riding pictures from a jump jam held in Taichung the day after the show.

Lots of pics inside,

Post Two from the Taipei Cycle Show ...

This is going to be a long post, you might want to go get something to drink and maybe a snack to help you power through.

For all of you who have been to Interbike or Eurobike you know how much there is to look at. And it can be a little bit hard to decide what to spend time looking for. The Taipei show has a different flavor to it than Interbike. There are a lot of random things at the Taipei show, and I will get pictures of the random Taiwanese nonsense in a blog post this week or next. It is going to take some time to go through my pictures and post everything that I want to post. Pics and details inside,

Post One from the Taipei Cycle Show ...

I took over 550 pictures at the show today. After walking around all day I have to admit I am pretty tired. With so much to see it is hard to know where to start. I am just on my way to bed but I wanted to post up something before I go to sleep.

Pics inside,

Ever wonder where kickstands come from, or what company REALLY makes your favorite product? Most of the parts on your bike were most likely manufactured in Taiwan, and the root of the manufacturing and everything associated to it comes out of the Taipei Bike Show in Taiwan. Every year, thousands of companies, manufacturers and product managers flock to this show to see what new technology is coming out, and OE suppliers are busy organizing what bikes you're going to be riding next year.
