MET features two new children’s helmets. The updated Crackerjack is designed to be a no-fuss and good-looking kid’s helmet. There’s a removable visor on the front, plenty of ventilation, and an anti-inset mesh.On the back are adjustable ratchet-mounted LEDs, plus plenty of coverage. MET also featured a younger Hooray MIPS children’s helmet. The helmet is available in two sizes: XS 46-52 cm and S 52-55cm. Hurray also gets LEDs on the back. But its main feature is the inclusion of the MIPS-C2 rotation management system. The Hooray MIPS is available in four colors and is priced at £65 / €75.Want to crank up the Ultegra price with a chainring the size of a Dura Ace? TA specialists will soon have a solution with this 54:39 12 speed chainring. No details on pricing or availability yet. Fizik showcases its new Stability Vento with Dynamic Arch Support 2.0. The new shoes were launched on the eve of Eurobike. The flagship shoe of the Fizik name is said to be lighter, stiffer, and provides increased support. The Fizik Vento Stabilita is priced at £385 / US$410/€410 and is now available in EU36-48 sizes with half sizes from 37-47. The Dynamic Arch Support 2.0 system wraps the upper from the BOA cover to the outsole. The system wraps around the plantar arch for adjustable support when tightened.The arch supports are anchored to the full carbon unidirectional R1 outsole from Fizik. New stability gets a BOA Li2 B dial. The shoe is available in Black/Yellow, White/Black, Silver/Black and Team Edition with a claimed weight of 227 grams per shoe size EU42.Not exactly new, but the Giarra Sportful Vest caught my eye with its two mesh chest pockets and a windproof shell. The bags are like short pebble bags for your chest. The Gilet features the same 3D polyester fabric and Thermore insulation as seen on the Sportful Bodyfit Pro jacket – one of my winter jackets of choice.This vest also has two standard pockets on the back. Endura is getting into the 3D printing game with the upcoming EGM Pro SL 3D Matrix bibs featuring 3D printed inserts due for release in the new year. More details to follow. For now we only have a brief overview of the product and a few prototype samples. This is not an actual insert – fortunately the proposed insert has more shape and appears thinner.Other bib shorts look just as impressive with a premium quality look and feel. WheelTop is bringing the latest prototype of the EDS OS Series Wireless MTB Drivetrain to Eurobike 2022, and it sounds fantastic. EDS was first seen in 2019.At just $365, the EDS is a wireless MTB shifter and shifter. While currently only available on this flat bar shifter, WheelTop suggested developing a drop bar version.The EDS clutch rear derailleur is compatible with anything up to a 52-tooth sprocket and looks and feels premium. WheelTop also offers cranks and cassettes to complement the drivetrain, but the brand clearly has no intention of developing a front derailleur. Beast Components and Riesel Designs share an outdoor booth and have partnered to offer Beast components customers a visual touch to any component. The RX60 wheels from the Beast have 60mm-deep rims, with 21mm internal rims priced at €2,399.90 with the DT Swiss 240. But perhaps more interestingly, the wheels can be ordered with the Riesel treatment as seen here. Pure 95 g Beast saddle can get the same treatment. Riesel offers a number of non-permanent protection packages with equally striking designs. DT Switzerland builds all their wheels and demonstrates the process on site. They had planned to make 10 pairs per day but people like me stopping for a chat meant they only had four complete pairs to show after the first day. Along with the Atmoz tire pressure management system, Scope also introduced the new AEA-Disc and R9.T time trial wheels. Scope looks at the wheels, tires, bike and rider as a whole system alongside years of WorldTour time trial data in developing these new time trial wheels to create a wheelset that claims to be the fastest in real world conditions.
The AEA Disc is priced at €2,198, weighs 1,196 g and is equipped with 28mm external rims with 21mm internal. The R9.T has a depth of 88 mm, an external width of 26 mm and an internal width of 19 mm rims. The R9.T weighs 887 g and is priced at €998.
Scope partnered with Schwalbe tires to determine the 25mm front tubeless tires paired with 28mm disc wheels at the rear were the best combination for both aerodynamics – more importantly up front – and rolling resistance.
After Scope determined what it believed to be the optimal tire width, it began to analyze the rim profile using the Enhanced Aerodynamics Algorithm – AEA in the name of the wheelset. The Scope algorithm is said to calculate the optimal rim profile for a given tire width and real-world conditions.
A stalled QantasLink plane continues to cause headaches for crew at Rockhampton Airport five days after crashing during launch. Key points: The plane came to a standstill Monday night after passing through soft ground while gliding No one was injured and other airport services were not affected Qantas will bring special equipment to Rockhampton to pick up the plane A Qantas spokesman said flight QF1798, which was traveling to Rockhampton from Brisbane, landed normally on Monday evening. But while cruising at low speed into the parking lot, the pilot “accidentally steered the plane across soft ground and got stuck just before the terminal”, the spokesman said. Although the airline’s engineering team had made progress on what it described as a “smooth” operation, the plane remained stuck. The spokesman said the retrieval required special equipment that is not currently available at Rockhampton. “The wheels are on very soft ground and special equipment n...

There have been several footballers throughout history who have not only played in the World Cup at home, but won it there. Carla Overbeck is one of them. The FIFA legend was part of the famous US team of the 1990s that won the first official Women’s World Cup in 1991 before captaining the team that lifted the trophy as hosts in 1999. Carla Overbeck captained the United States when they made women’s soccer history at the Rose Bowl in 1999. ( Getty Images: Elsa ) It was the tournament — and the team — that changed everything for women’s football in the United States. Despite having an operating budget of only $30 million, the event attracted nearly 1.2 million people throughout the month, with an average of 37,000 fans per game. Television ratings soared, as did media coverage once the tournament took place. The final — held in Overbeck’s hometown of Pasadena, California — still holds the record for highest ever attendance at a Women’s World Cup final as 9...
