...so lots of second hand performance bikes to be on the market soon?
Seems a bit of a waste.
I understand the minimum bar width (even though it sounds like the implementation is botched). But why enforce bits at the back be narrower?
I think it's more to do with standardising the frames, right? Avoids weird funky stuff like the lotus bikes providing an "unsporting" advantage - much like with O'Bree's bikes?
I’ve been hearing rumours of them considering over-regulating mountain bike racing; limiting suspension travel for XC and Enduro, etc.
Forcing the turned in brake hoods on a minimum width bar (40cm) seems quite silly here too. Straighter hoods on a 38 or 36 cm bar would be better all around.
