What caught your eye during day two of Eurobike 2024? 👀

[ConquerorDash]

Schwalbe's Clik Valve sounds like a nice idea. Especially since you don't need to buy everything new but can just upgrade existing valves and pumps for pretty cheap. Really hope it takes off and frees us from fiddly presta valves.

[shevsk]

Finally a foot-shaped shoe, we need more of those.

[FrenchSquareDancer]

Definitely Schwalbe's Clik Valve!

[turboplopp]

The way 3t handles carbon in Italy is quite different from standard layup designs. Pretty impressive engineering.

[leafan]

The Clik Valve is the first thing I have seen from any coverage of Eurobike that I immediately want to buy.

[mindsmartie]

All the Videos from EUROBIKE haven been outstandingly informative in a relaxed joyful way. Absolutely fantastic.

The most important customization for the shoe is the carbon sole, as the upper has a lot of adjustment. If you just trace your foot, already you'd have a very good representation of the width and length measurement for the sole. Even without custom manufacturing, shoe companies could make HUGE gains to improving cycling shoe fit, by simply allowing customers to choose shoes individually. Most people do have slightly different foot size, so it is valuable to be able to choose a wide right shoe in 43, and a medium width in 42.5, for example. Because they are made serially, there's a huge cost advantage, over single unit manufacturing. If you don't like the fit, just send it back and pay a shipping fee (at dealer or through post). With Boa closures, custom insoles and being able to choose two different shoe sizes, a lot of improvement can be made, without this expensive scanning and 3D printing approach. Most dealers already have several sizes and widths in stock, so they could me making a good sale easily, just by allowing the customer to try two different sizes and then have their pair matched for them.

11:22 I don’t use one for gravel, bc I don’t do that, but I have a camelbak MTB pack that I use for skiing! It has a back protector in it that protects against hits on your back, a 3L water system, and is a 20L pack. Holds everything I need! Lunch, liners, extras. 👏

[robbchastain]

Thanks for this tour of the exhibit floor, Alex! Your presentations are on par with Ollie's, except for, you know, his aero agenda. 🤣

[owenjohnson]

I’m buying the click valve as soon as it’s available.

[AeroComfyTri]

That Clik Valve would be oerfect for a TT disc wheel to avoid the faff of holding the adapter on etc etc

[mommamooney]

Those valves look really cool. I hate faffing with the valve

[fabianmolyneux]

Schwalbe Clik Valve seems a great innovation and then you mentioned having to use a pump adaptor

[Flyingredcactus]

Definitely more easy to use e-bike (automatique shifting) that will bring more people on bike everyday, and Pinion gear hub on e-road bike for older cyclist.

[dougpence]

Great show, thank you.
I hear the Schwalbe valve will not be released to the USA (UK and EU only). Waiting for the Aerothan tire...may just be for hooked rims, works for me.

[npdf]

Awesome info.. man great to see Haro produce a road bike.. I used to ride Haro Master and Sport back in the 80s and 90s 😊❤ brilliant to see 3T move production to Italy ❤ wow Schwalbes clik valve is cool I definitely want to purchase these .. Pete 🚴🏻😊🚴‍♀️

[ryshort]

3T try to build a frame without a hideous profile challenge: Impossible

[gavinhazard]

The value thing is a good idea, because I bend them little screw things and it doesn't allow me to pump the tyre properly, you get a pressure build up, but it doesn't go in the tyre, this looks a better way

[jespernohr]

Schwalbe Clik Valve! Nice to see a really thought through design.
