Product: Odyssey Tomahawk Stem

January 24, 2012

There’s two stems that I’ve ever got really excited for that I can remember… The Terrible One Cyclops stem, and the Odyssey Tomahawk stem. Both have similarities, so it’s not that big of a surprise that I love the look of them and have been wanting one since the day I saw one…. Today, Odyssey finally released the Tomahawk!

Here’s a quick run down of the specs…
“Front-load design
Chase Hawk approved
Converging front bolt axes eliminate typical through-hole stresses and improve the stem’s look when flipped
Easily accessible internal clamping system
Forged 6061-T6 aluminum maximizes strength and minimizes waste
53mm reach
9.5mm rise or 22.5mm when flipped
9.4 oz (266g)”

Hit this link to check out more photos and words about the stem. I want… need this stem.

Sneak Peek: Cult Match Rims

January 24, 2012

Here’s a look at Cult‘s new Match rim that uses a different V design. Here’s a few words from them about the rim…

““Triangles rule.” This statement played over and over in our heads when we designed the Cult Match rim…By inserting “Truss” beams in the Match rim, we have been able to add the “super strong” strength of triangles to the internal structure of our rim…The rim is welded and made out of 6061-T6 Aluminum…They will be available in black, blue, chrome, orange & red…Dropping this spring…”

Macneil – Drove to Las Vegas, Got Dorito Tacos

January 24, 2012

Last September, Macneil‘s Dillon Lloyd, Greg Flag and Andrew Lazaruk drove from Vancouver down to Las Vegas for Interbike. While they were there, they got a bunch of riding time, and I’m assuming a bunch of Taco Bell… and the mess that comes with that.
