Tech Tuesday - Fixing Rim Dents
@Protour: best advice, thanks! With the vice & flat wrenches, I just fixed my dent(s), which was beyond what sealant can seal on trail side). Pretty straight, without inadvertently damaging it further. But still didn't quite seal completely, so added a bit of duct tape pieces to take up extra space(s) on rim (a hint from another online searching), and now it's sealed up completely again. Thanks! :)

First Look: 4 New Bikes From Transition - Eurobike 2014
Whoa, finally Transition with Horst = drool! :) Can't wait to see a review on Suppressor!
Just curious (not criticizing)...
- Why vertical shock mount with those new Horst-link frames, instead of the same Transition-usual top-tube or down-tube mount? (eg. just for a different look, or is there geometry and/or suspension/leverage reasoning?)
- Why kids' Ripcord isn't with Horst link? (eg. additional costs even after patent expiration?)
If I had a magic wand...
- I'd conjure up a Horst-retrofit rear-triangle kit for my '11 Blindside & '07 Bottlerocket. ;)
Awesome job (as always), Transition!
