Japanese brand Gokiso has unveiled a groundbreaking innovation in cycling technology with their new carbon fiber clincher road rims featuring integrated micro-suspension hubs. This unique design aims to significantly reduce inertia, leading to faster acceleration and less energy required for maintaining speed.
Japanese brand Gokiso has added to their remarkably smooth micro suspension hubs, creating their own carbon fiber clincher road rims built into complete wheels. The combination results in something they claim has extremely low inertia, requiring just 0.5g of force to start them rolling. That means they’ll spool up faster for quick acceleration and less effort to keep them rolling fast.
Part of their ongoing energy savings comes from a unique inner bead shape that brings the tire much closer to the edge of the rim and creates a wide, stable tire shape. Check it out, along with some new hubs and an absolutely gorgeous titanium bicycle from a partner brand… Notice the minuscule gap between the edge of the rim and the tire? That’s by design, helping smooth air flow. But that’s just one of the benefits: The rims’ unique bead socket shape is CNC’d in their own factory in Japan. On the inside, it’s shaped to completely trap the tire bead with no gaps. On the top, it’s curved to provide a smoother transition off the rim, which they say gives the tire a wider, more naturally round shape to improve stability. If true, we’d say it should also improve handling by making cornering more predictable. They also say it creates a shorter (but slightly wider) contact patch with the ground, which results in lower rolling resistance.The rims will come in 29mm (480g), 38mm (500g), and 50mm (530g) depths, sold as complete wheels. The braking surface has a basalt layer to improve friction.and with videos, but the short of it is that the ribs suspend the spoke flanges and allow for micro movements. Internally, a slotted sleeve acts like a leaf spring to add a tiny bit more movement, all while keeping the hub adequately stiff. Hit that link above to see it in action, it’s worth it. At the top of the line are these titanium-shelled Super Climber hubs. They’re not the lightest ones they make, but they use more and finer ridges on the front and, well, they’re titaniu

Ingram Micro Cuts Ties with Broadcom and VMware in Many TerritoriesIngram Micro, a major technology distributor, will stop doing business with Broadcom and its VMware range in many regions starting early January 2025. The decision stems from an inability to reach an agreement that would benefit customers and shareholders while providing an appropriate level of service. Ingram Micro asserts that this change is not material to its business and claims to have informed customers and other vendors. This move poses a challenge to Broadcom's strategy of emphasizing channel-delivered services for VMware.
