US Open at Diablo

My pal Chris Costello from The Hive - e*thirteen - Formula Brake USA came to town for the US Open of Mountain Biking on the heels of the announcement that e*thirteen would merge into their group By The Hive which features Chub Hubs, Fifteen G, and REVL. Fifteen G cranks will be rebranded e*thirteen and a new DH crank is coming out. We watched the Giant Slalom race down near the bottom of the course and it was real cool to be 10 feet away from the riders ripping. And they were ripping. Saw Brian Lopes flying (and crashing) on his orange Ibis Mojo. I also got to see the new Formula prototype brakes with oval pistons, the new Chub rear hub prototype, and the new e*thirteen DH crank....and the new Santa Cruz Carbon V10. Some wicked gear.
