First Look: Cascade Components' Stumpjumper 15 High Pivot Conversion Kit
I had one and put it on a Turner Burner for my own entertainment. It was very squishy, and long.

Shimano Files Patent for a Direct-Mount Single-Sided 3-Piston Brake Caliper [Updated]
There's nothing about 6 pistons in this filing. Fig. 3 shows a 3-piston single-sided caliper and references a magnetic mechanism in the diagrams for the fixed side (#58, pg. 33, "it is possible to magnetically attract one of the first brake pad and second brake pad. Thus it is possible to synchronize the movement of the first brake pad and the piston, smoothening(sic) the operation of the disc brake caliper"). This is a strange caliper, but not for the reasons anyone above is talking about.

Dakine Announces The Universal Pickup Pad
Dark Jade Metallic and Wimbledon White. I had the same colors but inverse locations. Loved that truck, Supercab would have been even better.

A Sneak Peek at Galfer's Prototype Hydraulic Brakes
I don't understand how that pressure sensor is going to measure anything useful, being installed in the reservoir. It's not in the pressurized part of the hydraulic circuit when the lever is pulled unless I'm missing something here.
