Speedplay had a few updates, including these eye-catching new colors for the Syzr pedal bodies. The body is already replaceable, with different size parts to accommodate leg length discrepancies and other fit issues.
They had pink ones made for Alison Tetrick and her Dirty Kanza-winning bike, and now they’re considering making a few other options available for consumers. No timeline announced, hopefully they won’t take as long to hit the market as the pedals did.
The Brass Knuckles flat pedal is now shipping with taller pins.
WREN SPORTS
Wren Sports‘ new winter damping cartridge comes is running a nearly 1WT oil and has bigger orifices with wider open ports. With oil, a lower number means it’s thinner, so it flows more easily. The new cartridge is made for temps below 40°F, tested in the lab down to -30°F. They say it was ridden at the 2016 Iditarod bike race, where wind chill pushed it down in the -50s, and that it was the first time a suspension part was used in that event because other forks just lock up at those temps. It Drops in and out of the fork, letting you swap it in a few minutes with the tools shown here. About $75.
Wren also has a new stealth thru axle option allows up to 8nm of tightening force, far more than you can get with the QR cam.
CAFFE LATEX
Vitamina CL is a new Caffe Latex product that’s a polymeric powder that you add to their sealant to help it seal up to an 8mm puncture. And it helps seal faster, so there’s less pressure loss, important for race day. No change to lifespan of the sealant.
$30 for a tub that’ll match use rates of their largest bottle of sealant.
New phone pocket pouch that comes in a large size to fit larger phones.
