      They at least look interesting, hope the release some products and not just show of some prototypes

      I was riding out in Southern California in April and saw a few test riders and they confirmed that they were testing Stablead components. Obviously they did not have much to say about the components and everything was very blacked out but I did find out. Brian Lopes is one of the main testers and product advisors. My guess it’s going to be overpriced boutique components that aren’t going to work any better than than products like RockShox or Fox.

      I am confused about the pronunciation. Stable-ad? Sta-bleed? Stabled?
      Apart from that i’m not their target audience. I don’t like high pivots and i’m fine with middle class components.

      They’re obviously going to be stupid expensive, to me it’s seems like they’ve got eggs in a lot of baskets (cockpit parts, suspension, brakes, wheels???, frames????) a lot of stuff to be developing at the same time. For me, even if I had a lot of money to blow I probably wouldn’t blow it on them because the look for me is not that appealing.

      I’ll wait until they finish prototyping their forks and shocks and people are actually out riding them

      With these things , they are always cool to look at , and often to tide , what they often end up lacking is any kind of back up and support

      If you have a second bike , or you’re not committed to holidays or time away on your bike and can afford to be without it , take a punt. It could be amazing

      Just don’t run one as your only bike. Boutique bikes often have a boutique warranty.

      I would never consider buying bespoke bike hardware unless spending money was a hobby.

      Take a look at the Shapeshifter that Canyon put on the Strive. Made by Fox, for a massive bike company, nearly (if not actually) impossible to get serviced. This will have a fraction of that support, and only from a company that is likely to disappear at any moment.
