Having just announced their new Invert upside-down gravel fork before the show, Cane Creek’s Sea Otter booth news was mostly about new colors for their existing components.
Their best-selling limited edition eeBrakes was silver, so they’ve decided to make it a standard color option. Black bits like the return spring and some pivot hardware add a bit of contrast, but for folks seeking a classic silver brake caliper and enhanced performance, this is it.
Meanwhile, their eeWings titanium cranks will get a black automotive finish with matte clearcoat for a stealthier look. Offered in road/gravel and mountain bike options, they’ll better match black cranksets from compatible brands like Wolf Tooth Components who make 3-bolt SRAM interface chainrings.
On the brighter side of the spectrum, their Interlok headset spacers will now come in all the same Chroma Studio colors as their headsets and other bits for a fully matched bike. They have an interlocking grooved design that lets them nest together for a stronger, creak-free cockpit.
They’ve also added a new ZS56/ZS56 configuration to their Hellbender 70 headset line for bikes with oversized head tubes (like Transition’s long travel alloy bikes). The Hellbender lineup is basically the same as their 110 lineup but without the lifetime warranty. That means stainless steel bearings and robust sealing. It comes in black and the red, blue, gold, and silver Chroma Studio colors.
