SOC17: Praxis Works debuts lightweight, hollow carbon LYFT mountain bike cranksets

Posted by Elite Custom on

The new Praxis Works LYFT is a very lightweight mountain bike crankset. If claimed weights hold up, they’re in the realm of Race Face Next SL G4, which are among the lightest cranks available. Check the video for details on that, plus the HD version for more aggressive (or heavier) riders, and catch a few more pics and specs below… Claimed weight for the LYFT Carbon cranks, with spindle, 175mm arms and 32-tooth chainring, is 460g.

Geek’s Guide to the New ELEMNT BOLT

Posted by Elite Custom on

Wahoo Fitness set out to design a bike computer that helped improve your performance, not just record it. “In recent years the sport of cycling has put a premium on the study of aerodynamics and gaining a mechanical advantage wherever possible. Knowing this, it was Wahoo’s primary goal to create a computer that improved results on the bike, not hinder them… The only way to do this was to think about the end result and work backward from there. This led us to design the computer and the mount as one; an integrated aerodynamic package. All gains needed to be...

Factory Tour: Celebrating 10 years with ENVE’s new facility in Ogden

Posted by Elite Custom on

In the past ten years, a lot has changed for ENVE Composites.

That poses a problem for a rapidly growing company as production begins to be limited by the space allowed by their building.

A clean sheet design built specifically around product design and manufacturing, ENVE has doubled their space...

Praxis C32 Carbon Wheels - Review

Posted by Elite Custom on

Praxis first made their mark in the mountain bike world with their line of bottom brackets, which were soon followed up by chainrings and cranksets. Wheels were the next logical step, and last spring Praxis debuted the carbon fiber C32 wheelset. Intended for trail and all-mountain use, the C32 wheels are built up using an asymmetric carbon rim that measures 38mm externally and 32mm internally. DT Swiss provides the hub, with the time-tested 350 model laced into a 32-spoke, two-cross pattern on the Boost version, while the non-Boost version uses Praxis' own hub shell design with DT Swiss internals.
