We've done some machining/prototyping/r&d for a few big name mtb companies. I always love seeing mtb stuff go through the shop. http://www.peridotcorp.com

Seems like a more genuine answer to this issue could be had by asking athletic females (ya' know all those surfer/snowboarder/climber/'yakker women mentioned) who aren't yet into mtb, why they haven't checked it out...

Ugh. Gold looks like such tacky crap on bikes. And if you wanna save weight with Ti bols n jockey wheels n' stuff: torontocycles.com has all that sorta stuff for a lot less $

"I'm soooo stoked on these setscrews"

Man that looks badass!

Lovin my new/used 2011 FXR. But now I want the new 6.3-7" travel one...

I knew she was a centaur.

Been very happy w/ my 2011 Code R's equipped with twenty6 levers, thought the older jucy7's I had were pretty awesome until I got the codes. The newer shimano one finger brakes have a great feel at the lever, though I haven't ridden on a set yet. I don't know how I've been so lucky with my avid brakes while everyone else here is talkin' trash about 'em. Also don't know what people have against CPS, I think its awesome to be able to put compound angles on the pads/caliper in relation to the disc mounts, I've been able to get mine aligned parallel with the rotor, squeak free, and even-wearing every time.

Been rockin' the standard one for days now, Possibly the best return on a $30 investment I've ever gotten on a bike part.
