Moody Bluesday

For some reason on Tuesdays I think of the Moody Blues. I am sure that it is due to their song, Tuesday Afternoon... but I digress.

If you own a Cannondale Jekyll, and quite a number of you do, you know that there aren't a whole lot of options for the rear shock. Should yours blow up, you can send it back to Fox, send it to Push, hope to find a new one on eBay, or hope to find a Manitou Swinger 3-way that fits. Now, you can add X-Fusion Shox to the list. It looks like most of their air shocks have a trunion mount option. Very cool, if you ask me, though I know nothing about the company. Looks like I'll have to chat with them at InterBike.

As usual, the guys at Cyclingnews have some great tech stuff. Check out Jan's blunder at the Tour of Germany as well as carbon fiber wheels from Bontrager (shown below), new Zipp cranks and a new bike from Slingshot - yes, they are still in business.
