Matt Posted October 11, 2018 Share 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.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 11, 2018 Share 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.

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.

Cyclewizz Posted October 11, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
