I wish the E6 came in a solid cover. I'm not into the cheese gradder/spider web aesthetic. Our bikes need all the help they can not to look like freaks.

Hello TF, Throwing it out there, the corporate driver whilst lovely is soulless and keep considering building a off grid - hardcore camper kind of thing, something to take gear, bikes, you can sleep etc. and can do some rough terrain. Reading countless threads and forums, seems a 4x4 van is a good starting place, or a van with off road tyres - but you have a lot of carcass to shift.. vs. smaller 4v4 without the the pod on the back for comfort. Curious if anyone has ever dabbled here? Brett

Good thing i have both of these.  These are the comparison shots between the two.  According to my scale, the Box one carbon seat weighs 150 grams with the seatpost cut (176 grams out of box) The new E6 Lightweight BMX seat comes in at 114 grams out of box, possibly under 100 grams with the seatpost cut.  I would have definitely bought the E6 option had it been available when I was building my first bike.  Both are good options. The Box One carbon seat is still a very good lightweight option at 150 grams seatpost cut, just not the lightest. 

Hi, I’m Evgenii, iOS developer and amateur trials rider from Ukraine. I ride irregularly for 10+ years with limited progress and want to finally break this trend. I have developed a tool that helped me to make a lot of progress this year simply by recording myself on video for real-time analysis. I believe it could be just as beneficial for you as it saves a lot of time on camera management and video editing. Let me introduce you AutoCapture SlowMo app made to automate video recording of my trial exercises and now available in AppStore for free. The idea is to set up an iPhone or iPad to cover the practice area with its camera. The app will detect when you are in view and record you in slow motion. As a result you have all your attempts recorded as a collection of short SlowMo videos ready to be analysed and shared. This eliminates the hassle of managing the camera and editing footage (each attempt to overcome an obstacle is so fast and the time distance in between attempts is usually so long that it takes unreasonably long time to even find another one on a single long video made by traditional camera). The app is free. I’m now working on subscription feature to disable watermarking on new recordings so they can be used by professionals, but this is optional. Basically I just want more people to use this convenient tool every day. I will be happy if you give it a try and recommend it to your friends.

Bought a new dirt frame. I asked the guy for the condition and I asked explicitly for dent, cracks or deformation. He said there was none. I received the frame today and the seat tube is cracked and deformed. I asked for a refund. The guy first gesture was 30 Euros... For a frame I paid 300 with cranks, seat post, headset and a disc rotor. He went up to 50euros. I think it is still unfair and he does not want to get the frame back (I even proposed to bear  the shipping cost). He said the damage was visible on the pics. I did not used PayPal unfortunately.   I am tempted to lodge a complaint (not too complicated here in Germany). What do you think?
