There the Wolf says its not for crank testers.
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2007 2:06 pm
It was a message for the "testers" to send him your T-shirt size and address. Are there other "testers" on here for brakes or some of their other products?
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2007 2:27 pm
Not that I'm aware of, but it read to me like there are brake testers - possibly just media like Pez and Adrien though.
Ambiguity.

Just to clarify yesterday's solicitaion for T-shirt sizes and up-to-date addresses...
Ted is asking that "Crank Testers" respond by PM to the request.
Nothing further @ this time.
Thank you.

Finally some news from one of the Zero Gravity distributors (XX Light bikes).
The Boxer crankset is cancelled in it's current form (and developpedment has been stopped).
There is a chance that a new crank project will start sometime but there is nothing to be expected for 2008.
If this info. is true, it's a bit dissapointing end of the Boxer story and makes me wonder where things went wrong??
Short translation of the following text in German
"Im Lauf des Jahres kamen auch immer wieder Anfragen zur "Boxxer", der
integrierten Kurbelgarnitur,
die ja schon länger als Prototyp auf verschiedenen Messen auftauchte. Das
Konzept wird in der bisher
bekannten Form nicht weiterverfolgt, die "Boxxer" wird also so auf dem Markt
nie erhältlich sein.
Trotzdem wird im Hause ZeroGravity das Projekt "Integriertes Kurbelsystem"
in anderer Form weiterverfolgt werden.
Mit einer Markteinführung ist 2008 jedoch nicht zu rechnen"

Always look at the bright side of life...maybe some high-end T-shirt to be finalized soon ?

maybe they also got to test that one before release...

Does this mean that ZG won't be releasing the follow-on, carbon version of the Boxer crankset?
Posted: Tue Sep 04, 2007 8:23 pm
I think the problem was the intitial design to use solid aluminum and machine it into a crank. The torsional forces on a crank tend to dictate the best design is a hollow beam such as Dura-Ace and FSA K-Force Light depending if you like aluminum or carbon.

Last year, Campy released the UT (Ultra-Torque) crank. Zero Gravity decided to do them one better by releasing (or not releasing) the UV (Ultra-Vaporware) crank.

This thread needs to be locked. There are no cranks, and noone is getting them for free.
But I guess the thought of getting free lightweight parts will keeps Teds' enablers and excuse makers from letting this die.
It gets more and more pathetic everytime someone exumes this topic from its grave.

I don't think it's "enablers" that are keeping this alive.
Personally I hope they take another stab at cranks and offer a shot at cranks for a select group of testers.
But it's kinda pointless to keep complaining about not getting something for free that doesn't exist and didn't make it to market...
