Both are designed to accommodate a Shimano SPD cleat, with the Ultim8 MTB Double Clipless Pedal priced at $59.99 and the All-Mountain selling for $66.99. The new models are called the Ultim8 MTB Double Clipless Pedal, weighing in at a claimed 280g per pair, and the Ultim8 All-Mountain Double Clipless Pedal weighs in at a claimed 285g per pair despite adding a fairly large cage with an increased surface area.īoth pedals come with adjustable tension, with the All-Mountain offering the same six degrees of float, while the Ultim8 MTB Double Clipless Pedal tightens the range up at four degrees of float. New for this year is the Origin8 Ultim8 off-road pedal lineup, which expands on the already available Origin8 Double Clipless. Tires are Origin-8 Devit-8-ers on Origin-8 80mm AT-PRo rims. The venerable Avid BB7 Disc brakes provide stopping power.

The Crawler uses a hydroformed aluminum frame coupled to a NuVinci N360 continuously variable rear hub to give you a shift free 360 range of gearing. While the company doesn’t have an updated frame for 2016, it is still looking to add to the quill of their components in the realm of cyclocross. Now arriving at bike shops around the country is Origin-8 Crawler fat-bike. He lives in Cambridge where the lack of hills is more than made up for by the headwinds.The last time we checked in with Origin8, a value-minded brand that strives to compete in a wide array of cycling components, we saw them preparing to release a carbon fiber cyclocross disc frameset several years ago to add to the Origin8 steel cyclocross bike. Though not light by any other standard this is a very competitive weight for a fatbike tire more than 300g. They tip the scale at the respectable weight of 2 lbs, 14 ounces (1,304g) per tire. As you can see in the photo these rims are currently available in Satin Black and Gloss White.

John has also written for Cyclist magazine, edited the BikeMagic website and was founding editor of before handing over to someone far more representative of the site's main audience. Origin-8’s Devist8er 2 tires feature an aggressive tread for all-condition traction, a 120tpi casing for a supple ride and a kevlar bead to save weight. Our friendly J&B buddy and fellow fat-bike rider, Greg Earle, stopped by the shop the other day and dropped off a couple of their Origin 8, AT-Pro 80mm fat-bike rims. Along with founder Tony Farelly, John was on the launch team for and subsequently became editor in chief of Future Publishing’s group of cycling magazines and websites, including Cycling Plus, MBUK, What Mountain Bike and Procycling.

Since then he has worked on MTB Pro magazine and was editor of Maximum Mountain Bike and Australian Mountain Bike magazines, before switching to the web in 2000 to work for. Rather than telling him to get lost, MBUK editor Tym Manley called John’s bluff and the rest is history. He got the gig by phoning up the editor and telling him the magazine was rubbish and he could do better. Try: Trek Madone, Gravel Bikes, 2022 e-bikes.

He was heavily involved in the mountain bike boom of the late 1980s as a racer, team manager and race promoter, and that led to writing for Mountain Biking UK magazine shortly after its inception. Specs, geometry, reviews, and side-by-side bike comparison using the largest public bike (and e-bike) archive on the planet. John has been writing about bikes and cycling for over 30 years since discovering that people were mug enough to pay him for it rather than expecting him to do an honest day's work. Japanese firm Shimano is the predominant component choice at this end of the market, and the good news is that a lot of the technology seen higher up the ladder eventually trickles down to the entry level. Road bikes under £550 often feature light and stiff aluminium or steel frames with good quality gears and brakes. As Fatbike’s popularity have grown, one thing has remained mostly constant until recently: the tires. Find out why this is a bigger deal than you might think, after the break. A good place to start is always a well stocked bike shop where you can view the bikes in your budget and get a good idea of what is offered. Origin-8 was happy oblige, and soon we had some Devist8er 2’s to throw on Project Fatbike. It’s quite likely that if you’re reading this you’re looking at buying your first road bike.
