You're taunting me aren' you Ben!

They bottles and cages are magnetic. The "cage" has a magnet on it, and the bottle has a "slot" with a magnet. It works extremely well (havent dropped a bottle yet), and looks super cool!! Keeps the lines nice and clean.

magnets?? first time I hear about that? where did you get it from? Brand?

How did you lost one?

 

I cracked it.

 

Me and Peach have been building a 9m gap jump on a downhill. A few days ago I was testing out some distance markers to see if 9m was feasible. We hadn't built the landing yet so I was just jumping to the down. Completely bottomed out the bike, and the poor old girl couldn't take the strain on the headtube so cracked. She was 6yrs old (in DH bike years that's like 80)

 

Here's a pic of the gap about an hour before the incident. That black pole on the left is at the 8m mark. That mark was reached on the 2nd run.

Damn, sorry to hear that man (it does mean you HAVE to buy a new one though :) )

 

hahaha! Yup! and I'm already having a tough time trying to decide what to get.

 

So far I've been looking at...

 

2011/2012 Morewood Izimu (would be the most straight forward replacement, but not my 1st choice)

2011/2012 Morewood Makulu (if I can wangle the upgrade at a good price)

2011 Commencal Supreme DH Atherton Edition (I know MtbBarbie will drool over this because of her Gee crush)

Yip, they use magnets! The brand is Vincero Design, as you can see on the bottle.
