    Apple uses the Lightning port. 10x better than usb micro-b although it is easy to snap a cable head. However, they were one of the first to roll out usb-c in their new macbook pro (I think).

    usb-c is the hot new thing to carry power, high speed data, video, etc. and is reversible like the lightning port. Developed to compliment the new usb3.1 gen2 specs. Intel has a Thunderbolt chipset that does amazing things (same cable, more throughput). There's some cool dock/boxes to consolidate all the video/data connections. Cable/port compatibility is a little crazy in the thunderbolt/displayport video realm, but for simple power and data, usb-c is a great improvement.

    I ride a lot these days. a LOT. (1k miles per month)

    I hate most bike riders.

    I hope you told the clerk how disappointed you were that they didn't have 89.5. And then told them you needed EXACTLY 6.5 gallons of 89 and EXACTLY 6.5 gallons of 90

    My stable currently includes two bikes:

    The Light Flight: Ridley Helium SL (I bought from Team Lotto Belisol) with Zipp 404s and SRAM Red 22 shifter/derailleurs, Oval Concepts R900 brakes, FSA SL-K Cranks (with Stages PM), Rotor Q-rings, with S-works finishing kit. It's great for going up steep things fast. under UCI minimum weight.

    The Speed Demon: Ridley Noah with Roval Rapide CLX60s and SRAM Force 22 groupset, Ciamillo Micro-GSL titanium brakes, Force Crankset (with Stages PM), S-works saddle and Oval Concepts bar. It's fun to keep up with traffic (at freeway speeds).

    Next to be built up is the Aluminum Hate Machine: No frame yet, Mercury C1 wheels, SRAM Rival take-off groupset, rando finishing kit. This is a bike that's meant for bombing down single track, fire roads, gravel, anything really. If I show up on this, you know what's about to happen (and it ain't Netflix-n-chill).



    If anyone here knows about bikes, you know all about what I just said. Coming back to Colorado is going to be awesome!

    All that fag talk is going to look pretty cool under my diesel when I catch you riding on MY roads. --The rest of the board.

    This part of the earth is extremely sensitive about the cycling culture, so there is no shortage of places to get the latest and greatest. Regardless of brand, if it's top end, you can find it here. I went into one shop and told him I wanted a Team Frame. Not a production model that's close. Not a replica. Not something close. I wanted the REAL thing. Boom. four days later I had the Ridley Helium. Before I paid for it, I called Ridley (in Belgium, because I do that) and verified that it was actually a team frame. THEN I paid for it. I purposely haven't put a name sticker on that side of the bike bc it still has the marks from where the pro rider's name sticker was on there.
