Well, the one in the photo bit the dust. I rode again a couple days after this photo and the seals or something just crapped out. Apparently, from what other friends have told me the older Joplins don't hold up well in the cold. I got an RA # from Crank Bros but haven't shipped it off yet. Honestly, it's been in my trunk and I forgot all about it.

Rocking the Reverb now, and it's bad ass. I wish the engagement button was a little easier to engage though. Since it's hydro, I figured it would take very little effort compared to cable actuation, but it's about the same in terms of required force.

 How is the seat post holding up?
