"B" is for "Bikes & sponsors: (4) Tripeak Bearings"

I am excited to announce that bottom brackets and carbon rear derailleur cages with oversize 15 tooth pulleys, equipped with super-smooth ceramic bearings, have been provided by Tripeak!

These are indeed so smooth, and a wonder to behold, that the mechanics at Mitchell's Cycles enjoyed playing with the bearings by giving the pulleys a tiny push, and wondering when they would stop spinning, so long did they keep going!

Tripeak design and manufacture the highest quality bearing components and tools.  Thanks to Pony Ma, the CEO, and Tripeak Bearings for their generous sponsorship - check out the Tripeak website to stay up-to-date with the latest additions!

Happy smooooth racing from Tripeak!
