Plus all the latest and greatest from this week at BikeRadar <\/p>
Another week flies by and winter is definitely on its way out \u2013 the clocks change this weekend folks!<\/p>\n
Yet more kit has made its way to BikeRadar HQ, ready for testing over the coming months. But first, of course, this means it gets popped into our weekly round-up, First Look Friday.<\/p>\n
Before you read on, though, take a moment to look back through the week and see what else is new in the world of tech.<\/p>\n
The biggest news was, of course, the launch of SRAM\u2019s<\/a> latest mountain bike groupsets<\/a>, prefixed with T-Type.<\/p>\n Do you remember SRAM launching its Universal Derailleur Hanger<\/a> back in 2019? Well, it looks as though it was a sneaky (or, rather obvious) plot to persuade the world\u2019s bike manufacturers to get their bikes ready for this new style of direct-mount derailleur.<\/p>\n Shimano has tried it in the past, but the smart money is on SRAM filling up spec lists on high-end mountain bikes with its derailleurs that no longer need a hanger.<\/p>\n Needless to say, our drivetrain expert, Alex Evans, has been lapping with the new gears for a few months, many miles and very many metres of up and down.<\/p>\n You can find all the details of SRAM\u2019s T-Type Eagle Transmission<\/a>, our review of SRAM T-Type<\/a> and a guide on how to install SRAM T-Type<\/a> to your bike on the site (and on our YouTube channel and podcast).<\/p>\n
