Feedback wanted - Classifieds category reshuffle


Matt

Recommended Posts

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 bikes

Frames & forks

Components

Wheels & tyres

Each 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

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!”

LOL. 

 

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.

You're really just bragging with the improved new concept before implementing it, aren't you :thumbup:

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
