\n\n

In the words of David Lynch, \u201cIf you can believe it, it\u2019s a Friday once again\u201d.<\/p>\n

This week has seen a mix of truly unusual tech here at BikeRadar, starting with news of a Shimano patent application that suggests it may be about to ditch derailleur hangers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Specialized launched the Sirrus Carbon<\/a>, which is missing half a seatpost. Liam Cahill got his thinking hat on to ponder what the design means for the future of frame design<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jack Evans covered the Battle on the Beach, bringing us news of seven weird and wonderful bikes tailored to racing on sand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Warren Rossiter reviewed Black Inc\u2019s five-spoke carbon wheels<\/a> and Ashley Quinlan gave his verdict on the rather unusual-looking Ribble Ultra SL Enthusiast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Adding to the mix of strange tech, Team Jumbo-Visma trialled the KAPS adjustable tyre pressure system<\/a> at Dwars Door Vlaanderen \u2013 could we see this used at Paris\u2013Roubaix in a few weeks\u2019 time?<\/p>\n

Returning to the more familiar, Oscar Huckle explained everything you need to know about SRAM UDH<\/a> and Finlay Anderson provided an overview of the entire RockShox suspension fork range<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Below, you\u2019ll also see the latest video from MBUK.<\/em> It looks at how a tree disease has forced the beloved Revolution bike park in Wales to close and why the park (as we know it) will be destroyed.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Band of Climbers Empire jersey and shorts<\/h2>\n<ul class=\""monetizer-in-text-link-list"\"><li data-type=\""in-text"\" class=\""monetizer-in-text-link"\" data-config=\"'{"nameKeywords":\" of=\"\" climbers=\"\" empire=\"\" jersey=\"\" data-text=\""<b>Buy\" now=\"\" from=\"\" and=\"\"> <\/li>\n<\/ul><script><![CDATA[ (function () { var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text\/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = \"\/\/bikeradar.com\/pricecomparison\/widget\/intext\/app.bundle.js\"; s.onload = function () { new inText({ domain: \"bikeradar.com\/pricecomparison\", shopId: 608, geolocation: true, }); }; var x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x); \/\/trim whitespace from li to flag empty items (twig seems to strip out closing if you remove the space.....
