Made in USA: Inside Zipp's Carbon Wheel Testing and Production Facility
wonder how the rim edge are smoothed out - just polishing video or a clear coat added ?
my roval carbon wheels are getting rough and cutting into the tires sidewalls causing early leaks before the thread wears off... I wasn't sure if I should buff them back, or apply a very thin epoxy to make them smooth again and hide the fiber that cuts right trough tires... I used flexible epoxy for plastic bonding, but eventually comes off after dozen of rides...

BikeYoke Revive Max - World's First Dedicated 34.9mm Long-Travel Dropper
> Your specialized comes with a WU which is at least reliable and tilts your saddle. Neat feature.
well year later, and mine leaks and is NOT user serviceable (unlike prev command post I changed 2 broken collette and serviced) and neither can the shop get the seal kit. Have to send it in... for close to the price (and being ehtout a seat post for couple weeks) I can get a brand new other brand one... no way..
I do like the tilt, but it's not really 150mm drop (115mm+tilt). Wish it was more...

Walmart Launches High-End 'Viathon' Bike Brand
didn't know about DV9 either... dang $999 for carbon frame only!
don't know how Wallmart/Viathon can charge 2k for no-brand name mail order only frame (with questionable support unlike the excellent Ibis brand). Pointless to sell frame only as the article mentions when for $400 more you get a full build.

Ibis Announces New DV9 Carbon Hardtail
I don't get why there is internal cable for shifter, but the brake one is external (the one that actually needs protection). Dones't look like they support 2 port cable on the side ?
Yeah having to reblead the line if you install a new brake is a one time pain...

First Ride: Santa Cruz Megatower
@liv2mountainbike2: how come no-one mentions Spec Enduro 29 ? been around forever (started this category) and with current 2018+ model being 2deg slacker and full 165mm travel I'm really enjoying my one bike trail + park bike (N-star, whistler). Always loved ibis bikes (mojo, mojo hd), but had to switch when long travel 29 came out. They are available for so much less as well. I demoed the ripmo, but priced out on used market and didn't have to wait all those years...

Easton Mg60 120mm mountain road bike stem 1"1/8 x 25mm
$10 USDfound this from my part bin - never used it, but got scratches from sitting around.
Looks like a 120mm long stem, which I believe was for an old road bike (1"1/8 fork, but like 25mm handlebar ??)
made of magnesium (6.8 oz), but apparently missing a rubber part according to someone (see pic)
paypal/ship extra. if listed, I still have it - don't ask.
