'It never gets easier, you just get crazier.'

Culprit will be showing their non rideable prototype of the new Culprit legend to media in Kona. But unfortunately we have no booth at the expo this year. . You will hopefully read about it on Thursday or Friday online and possibly see it being pushed around on Friday.

Really looking forward to it, and well done for keeping your promise. Will you be seeking crowd funding for turning the prototype into reality?

Yah, bike has been 2 years in redevelopment. About crowd funding, yes, but my lips are sealed on bike details til Thurs or Friday.

Thanks

Joshua

HELLO KATE,

Thanks for the nice words! Yeah we think our new Mobius Comfort Compression Fabric is the hottest thing we have coming out for 2016. You are among the first in the world to own it!

As for that tequila, we will be at the HP Bike Works store located at the Kona Inn Shopping Village tuesday thru friday in the early afternoon. I will post hours here once we know them, but I will also have a bottle of Dos Almas there! Come sip some with us!

Desoto's Mobius Comfort Compression Fabric is the hottest thing we have coming out for 2016----I received my pair a few days ago. Wore them today for a 2 hour trainer ride and 45 minute run. Hard to believe how comfortable the material is. The Desoto "hits" keep coming.

There are some pretty stylish and high quality products from the Danish brand Saysky


They have had some good success in Denmark and will be interesting to see how they do in the international scene

Can be found in front of Hugo's

Stryd will be at the Ironman expo (booth #85). Stop by to try our wearable power meter for runners. We have already started shipping to our Kickstarter supporters, and will start shipping in volume to other customers in a couple of months. Those who visit our booth will receive a discount.

On race day, Stryd will be doing live power data streaming with several athletes, including professionals Sarah Piampiano and Rafael Gonçalves, elite amateur Steven Mantell (second place overall finisher with the second fastest run split at Ironman Boulder 2015), and a dozen other competitors. Their Ironman World Championship power data will be shared live at http://www.stryd.com/kona, as well as published post-race.

We will post updates to Twitter (@strydrunning), Instagram (@strydrunning), and Facebook (www.facebook.com/teamstryd).

I saw Kiwami had a new Spider Long sleeve suit.

Vertical or horizontal dropouts? You can tell us that much :)

Dimond are showing their new fork with the fairing covering the brake. It looks beautiful. Nick Salazar was taking photos this morning, details should surface soon.

$1200 for the new fork http://www.tririg.com/...d_Unveils_Super_Fork

And the photos are up. Wide seems to be the new trend, and it makes sense as it allows the fork to flow through clean air. $1200 seems like a lot for a fork, but that's just me.

Meanwhile, Cervelo seem to be teasing that they'll have someone riding something interesting at Kona (for release in March??).

Legend will have vertical drop outs for rim brakes and the disc brake option will use shimano 12 mm e thru 142 mm rear and 100 mm front.

You have my attention :)

...any reason I'm missing one couldn't run through axles with rim brakes?

First picture I've seen of the new Roka cycling gear!

I was able to find most of the gear online earlier this week. If you Google Roka cycling, you'll come across the sites and links, even though they are not yet accessible from Rokasports.com last I checked this morning.

I like the gear but am a bit disappointed in the pricing as it seems to be at the high end... it is easier to justify higher prices for racing gear, but for training, it is a tougher pill to swallow.

$230 for a pair of shorts?! I love my Roka wetsuit, but yikes...

Different forks for rim or disc. So not possible to run thru axle on the front wheel with rim brakes. Rear will be no problem.
