Methow Valley Cycle Season is Just Around the Corner, What's New in Bike Technology?

Warmer Temperatures are coming and with them is the primo time to get out on that mountain or road bike for the 2011 Methow Valley Bike season.

So what is new in cycle technology. Looks like we do not have to worry about goats beard getting into the tires.  There is a new Hutchinson tubeless tire that has been rolled out on the Monterey California Cycle scene and it seems to be preforming well.  Check out the complete article at http://ppolnews.com/?id=84972 .

There is a lot of buzz around the new chain-less bicycles.  They are claiming to be smoother to ride, and have easier gear changing features.  No more grinding those gears!  It sure would be fun to check out the new design to see the improvements.  Here is a site that is designing and selling this style of bike. http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/chainless/ 

If you want to get really technical here is a Blog by Imw that goes into details about the various new components of bicycles that are available, and or being tested.
