Happy Monday - never thought I would see WiseCracker + SPAM in the same image. Gotta love SSUK and Charlie The-Bikemonger Hobbs!
Hand-delivered a brand new bike to Ming today at lunch - great way to start to the week! It's an urban single-speed with track spacing in the rear and clean buildup by Ryan Bontrager. Special thanks to Jason Grove for the fabrication effort as usual.
My newest bottle opener, the WiseCracker CX is in the works.
Cheaper than ENVE's $550 Speedvagen stem, this simple headset spacer weighs 25 grams, costs $25 AND it opens beers. By lengthening the original WiseCracker design and adding an M5 Barrel Adjuster, front canti-brake routing should be clean and tight. I may adjust the geometry for smaller frame sizes where stack height is more critical.
I need product testers - hit me up to get on the list!
Ahrens Cycles, which offered up the WiseCracker bottle opener in the form of a headset spacer, is now making it available in a sub-10 gram weight 6/4 titanium version.
They’re machined from a solid sheet of Ti, bead blasted, then etched with their logo... As Mike Ahrens says, they’re lighter than some alloy spacers that don’t have any special skills.
After machining, each part is bead-blasted, laser marked and ready to be shipped!
Wisecracker is a clever little bottle opener. It comes in versions to mount to your seatpost, workstand or downhill fork stanchion. Why?
I woke up today and realized the holiday season is rapidly approaching. To get into that special holiday spirit, I'm offering limited edition WiseCracker bottle openers with a special message. Drop me an email to pre-order one because they will go fast. Cheers!
