Bontrager Pulls Aeolus 5.0 ACC
04/25/2008
As you know we have faced several challenges in getting the Aeolus ACC into full production. Each iteration has brought new hurdles we have tried to clear. At this time we have reached a point that we do not feel we can produce this product and attain our goal of Best in Class. We are therefore pulling this product from the line. We will continue to evaluate the best course of action to make a product that reaches our original parameters for this project. Until we have that course laid out, we feel it is best to withdraw the wheels from the line rather than continue to push orders off indefinitely.

PermÃtale Competir!
Can you say the defending CHAMP of the Tour de France deserves a provisional? You may need to click the "English" tab unless you got an A+ in Spanish II.

I don't work on bikes without quick-releases!
NBDA ADDS $7500 TO QUICK-RELEASE FIGHT
New donation to be matched by suppliers.
Following an initial contribution of $7500 last summer, the NBDA Board has voted to commit another $7500 to defend the ubiquitous quick-release axle. The latest contribution will be matched by the supplier side of the industry, said NBDA Executive Director Fred Clements.
The fight is against a ban on quick-release axles that has been proposed in the New Jersey legislature. While the law, if passed, would affect only New Jersey, it might set a national trend, making the fight a national issue. The bill exempts axles that also have a “secondary safety device,” but fork tips apparently do not qualify for the exemption and there is currently no other technology that would.
The proposed law was a response to injuries to children riding Wal-Mart bikes with quick-release wheels, Clements said. But with the exception of some high-end BMX bikes, the kids bikes sold by independent dealers do not have quick-release axles anyway. The New Jersey bill as written would ban quick-releases on all bikes, adult as well as juvenile. Funds contributed by the NBDA and the Bicycle Products Suppliers Association are to be used to hire a lobbyist to make the case against the bill.-John Francis, Editor, NBDA Outspokin'
