Hi Mitch. Thanks for coming over to the dark side of online forums. Slowtwitch will prob end up being 1 persons full time job lol

Anyway as a Trek fanboy and 2x SC owner I would love to see all P1 bikes come with the draft box painted to match. It just ends up looking tacky IMO. Maybe even go so far as the base bar and extensions.

MY 2nd gripe is to make the P1 paint available to do touch ups. As a matter of fact all paint. It would be really nice to be able to fix chips.

Thanks for listening

This website is pretty bright though... Ha!

We used to paint the Draft Box in P1 - and I pushed for it on one I ordered recently too. But the fact is the paint doesn't adhere as well to the draft box so that option was removed.

Touch up paint is a tough one, that paint actually has a shelf life of 2 hours before being unusable. We hate wasting paint and want to protect the environment. Great question though! What I have done for myself and suggested for others, is try to hit up your local automotive body shop paint supplier to have a direct match made. You'd be surprised how close they can get it!

How far along is the Speed Concept disc?

No details to spill on if we will have that model coming or not. We just gotta wait and see what the future has in store! (literally)

In past years, our mid to low depth models were always the most sought after. But know that our product team is working diligently to push our wheel program further - stay tuned.
