Bearings that can be easily removed and not pressed in is very cool, but that leaves open the possibility for a little more play in the assembly down the road. I don't think a 1 degree change would be noticeable.

If that seat already exist - then what is it attaching too, if this type of seat post attachment isn't already out there?

They must be left overs from previous years - there web site says they no longer sell in the US. True about the name/quality association - it happened to GT and unfortunately to Diamond back as well. I think as an effort to raise money for the companies in times of need , they opted for low end volume sales in the cheap stores and it unfortunately hurt them in the long run. Hopefully, Mongoose can return like GT.

I agree - I'm sure Mongoose takes care of him plenty well.

They no longer sell them in the US - Not really sure why, perhaps its a branding issue. They were being sold in low end cheap stores (ie Walmarts) and probably made them suffer sales in the higher end.

If Chris fell between two rocks and had to chop off his arm to free himself - he'd still ride out in style!

Mick is pure podium material this year. He's up there every race he enters. Can't wait for the WC's!

One word - WALMART

AND I just saw it last night at the Boston premiere! Oh well, it was a packed house, (Sport Bar and Grill actually) had $12 burger and saw some awesome riding. I'll watch it again (I might actually hear the commentary this time!)

That UK weather is nasty - Glencoe can make FW look like a day at the beach if it gets really crappy up there!
