Syncros: Return of the cult brand of the 90s
Parts such as handlebars, seat posts or headsets are well known from Syncros, but the guys also offer interesting hubs. For example, the oversized quick-release axle of the Freeride rear hub runs on no less than six (!) industrial bearings. If you like it lighter, Syncros also offers a filigree hub with high flanges that can compete with even the lightest parts from DT Swiss.
Another highlight are the striking "Mental" platform pedals: the lattice-like cage is made of stainless steel, with lighter versions made of aluminum and magnesium to follow later. 14 replaceable pins per side and a slightly cambered shape promise plenty of grip, with extra-long pins also available if required. The excellent bearing promises a long service life: an industrial bearing on the outside, an extra-wide needle bearing in the middle and a plain bearing on the inside. The needle bearing can be lubricated from the outside. With so many fine details, the predicted price of around 300 francs is hardly surprising.
