Matt Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Hi Hubbers, We're considering some changes to the Classifieds category layout to offer better flexibility in accommodating new & evolving disciplines and generally streamlining the experience. Currently the categories are siloed by the major disciplines, Road and Mountain Bike, and all related components and bits for each live in relevant categories below. e.g. MTB- Bikes-- Hard tail bikes-- Dual suspension bikes-- Gravel bikes- Frames - Suspension- Wheels- Groupsets- Components Road- Bikes-- Time trial bikes-- Road bikes-- Gravel bikes- Frames & Forks- Wheels- Groupsets- Components While this works for the most part, it doesn't support the evolving disciplines and increasingly blurred lines of component categorisation. E.g. Stems, Saddles, Gravel bikes & components And often a part, frame, wheelset could suit either category but the current system only allows strictly classifying under Road or MTB.We're proposing a change to the structure along these lines: Bikes- Mountain bike-- Hardtail -- Dual suspension- Road- Gravel / adventure- Time trial- Kids bikesFrames & forksComponentsWheels & tyresEach would be split out into subcategories with further discipline specific subcategories or filters where relevant.E.g. Components- Handlebars-- Road handlebars-- MTB handlebars We've already had a number of requests to better accomodate gravel bikes and components, ebikes, track bikes, etc. We feel that this approach would give far more flexibility into the future, but before we make any sweeping changes we're keen to hear feedback from the regular Bike Hub Classifieds users on what you'd like to see. Thanks,Matt NC_lurker, LeoKnight, OneLove and 11 others 14
Karl Beaton Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) agree and makes for a better flow Edited October 11, 2018 by Karl Beaton

DuncanCT Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Also maybe moving Kids Bikes from MTB to under BMX Bikes on the far right?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Also maybe moving Kids Bikes from MTB to under BMX Bikes on the far right?If you look at the new make-up, kids bikes will now have their own category as KIDS BIKES. DJR, the nerd, DuncanCT and 1 other 4
Craai Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 If you look at the new make-up, kids bikes will now have their own category as KIDS BIKES.My English teacher would told have told you through thinly pursed lips “CHILDREN’S BIKES”, not kids, we are not goats!” Jacomunkelt and SmokinJoe 2

I know that all too well. My mother is an ex-teacher, in both HS & Primary English. *She still asks me for help with her spelling, though. Edited October 11, 2018 by Cptmayhem Craai 1

Cyclewizz Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Maybe having only 1 saddle, stem section would be better as they are the same for road & MTB. Ok, ok, ok they also the same for eBikes, gravel bikes and track bikes (I think) JA-Q001 and Matt 2
Chingy182 Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 I agree.I think it looks good and will make browsing classifieds a bit easier.
Cav' Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 As long as you don't add a vehicle section, I'm happy.
fanievb Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Maybe having only 1 saddle, stem section would be better as they are the same for road & MTB. Ok, ok, ok they also the same for eBikes, gravel bikes and track bikes (I think)What you talking. 29" should have it's own category for components especially saddles Grebel 1
the nerd Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 I think being able to bump adds for free every week or two weeks should be brought back...
