Animal coming out with new stuff, or discontinuing some parts?

Some of those parts have been around forever, I think they might be coming up with something new, hopefully.

MR stems probably replaced the remix. The Vinnie sprocket is probably due for an update or being scrapped.

Thats what I was thinking, but the Remix is such a popular stem. And the Vinnie for sure needed to be redone. Its time for the V2 on the Vinnie. I really hope they're not getting rid of the Remix's, even though I already have one. Its such an awesome stem.

I just saw a bike check. (sorry, can't remember! Damn drugs! Lol) but the guy had prototype cranks and hubs from animal. I can only imagine they're just cleaning house for new stock. I just hope there only slightly modifying the cranks. I have Akimbo's. Hope they aint garbo! Jk

Dude, PLEASE remember the check. I really want to see it. Why the fuck would they change they hubs? Mine's great.

I hope the rear Javelin goes on sale then, i'll get it. I'll probably wait for the new Akimbos.

K. I may have been wrong. It might be he is still riding the og prototype. It's just the date is from last oct. and I figured they must be new. But it doesn't say v2. Maybe the Akimbo's are better than I thought! FYI, they feel great, look great, I have zero complaints. I'd say get em.

Maybe they are 19mm Akimbos, does;t make sense to me but it's a possibility.
He said the front hub is 3 years old so it might be a prototype that never came out.

19mm Akimbos would be sweet, and yeah those Javelins are prototypes that never made it.

I know the V2 Vinnie is coming out. Thats been in the works for a long time.

Maybe the front guard are gonna drop out soon...
I feel like the Marmoset front guard is like the G-Coaster, it's desalinated to never come out, hopefully they're gonna make one for the Simian (or whatever it's called).
