The Point 1 Podiums have that resistance because they have great seals.
Aaron Gwin capped a strong weekend of racing at the World Cup in Windham with the first American World Cup victory on home soil in over a decade when he won the Men's Downhill. Gwin finished over two seconds ahead of Steve Peat (Santa Cruz Syndicate), with Andrew Neethling (Giant) taking third. Gwin's fourth win of the season gives him an almost insurmountable lead in the overall standings.
Andrew Neethling (Giant) took the lead with ten riders to go, only to be immediately topped by Steve Peat (Santa Cruz Syndicate). This is where it stood, as the final rider, Gwin, was about to start. Expectations among the spectators were high, after Gwin qualified first, and the partisan nature of the crowd was clear, with American flags everywhere. The Trek rider was fastest through every part of the course, finishing 2.339 seconds ahead of Peat.
He was mobbed by adoring fans and patiently signed autographs and posed for photos. "It was awesome today, all week actually. It was so great to race in front of the home town crowd. They were all so cool to me. It's been a fun weekend. I'm very happy."
With his fourth win of the five races so far in the World Cup, Gwin has a total of 1110 points. Greg Minnaar (Santa Cruz Syndicate) sits in second with 776 points with a disappointing 12th place today. Gee Atherton (Commencal) sits in third with 657 points after finishing 11th today.
Those Point 1 Pedals look SIC!!
The 951 was the top rig last year. It is now the cheaper option, so good by adjustable drop out etc.
When ever the product remains the same and Sram just changes colors(silver); look out a new update is just around the corner. About Us
