11 Innovative Products That Inspired Other Brands To Follow
@sngltrkmnd: stand em up and strap them that way. I kept my bike like that when I had a pickup. A single ratchet strap once around the stem (a different spot may work better for you) held it tight, even over rough dirt roads.

Mountain Cycle made disc brakes for their San Andreas frame and Suspender (?) USD fork. Hayes definitely had the first widely available, decent brake. They pioneered Post Mount, and their 22mm standard was basically Flat Mount but 20 years earlier.

@Glenngineer: Genesis was the original iteration. GF is a tall guy and finally got sick of boat tillers on his bikes. Stems used to get out to like 150mm and Genesis I think took about 40mm off of that. He just pushed the head tube forward, made a tight rear triangle, and sent it.

Throwback Thursday: The History of Shimano's Cleat Mounting Standard
I really wish we could see some of the first prototypes. Early production stuff is cool, but I wanna see the mess they made on the way.

Enter To Win a Shimano Saint Groupset - Pinkbike's Advent Calendar Giveaway
So what do we get here, exactly? Do we get a shifter and derailleur? Do we get to choose the specs? What if we don't have centerlock hubs - can we get 6-bolt rotors instead? There isn't one labeled for Saint.

Parking Lot Randoms - Eurobike 2022
I have a small stash of M95x derailleurs and parts. My cross bike has one on it now, I've used it for 1x11, 2x9, 3x9, I've thrown in some 7 and 8 speed wheels in a pinch, that derailleur does it all, and looks SO GOOD the whole time.
