Looks like Trek is testing updated rear end for the session. Seatstay could be carbon or just painted? Maybe new pivot location or idler location? Machined rocker link

I hope this is on topic - But since it was news from this week. Just got the OneUp pedals delivered. Some pics and size comparison to Saints for anyone that has been contemplating them. They are very similar in size, I would say maybe 5% smaller overall platform. Tried to "dry" clip them in to my Fox Union shoes, but the pins are quite high, and the clip mechanism seems quite hard (From my experience shimano is the same, and it takes a bit for them to "break in) - So I could not clip them in by hand...

@Spomer, can we please deviate the toe-clip topic to another thread, and make it in a slightly bigger default font?

Here's a better picture. I downloaded this in September and I have no idea where I got it. I made a whole post about it yesterday but I deleted it because my speculation was based upon the rocker looking like the Wild. This is likely an aluminium mule.

No high pivot, no idler, no flip-chip, no bonded lugs, no belt, no cable tourism, only four bars and a single chain? Will they even be able to ride that thing?

I don't like bushings because they aren't as smooth in action as bearings. I ran bushings for my shocks because that's what they came with. On a whim I decided to try needle bearings from RWC. The movement is noticeably more fluid and free. I've moved the needle bearings between 3 shocks and three bikes and regrease at maintenance intervals...

I had Cane Creek's version of that, the Hellbender Neo, for bottom brackets on two bikes. Both completely seized after a ride or two. CC quickly abandoned those types of bearings. The SLT bearings look a lot like the Hellbender Neos in terms of the polymer structure so I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens to them. EDIT...

I've also read that ceramic bearings are pointless to the point of actually being worse. Something about how the hard ceramic bearings can eventually grind away the races and potentially lead to frame damage. I'm guessing very long term use with lots of grime ingested into them could potentially create that scenario.
