Scrub Components' new prototype brake rotor shaves even more weight off their industry leading rotors by going to a magnesium carrier with interference fit lock ring holding the metal matrix braking rotor in place.

FSA launched their new K-Force Light 386 2x10 crank with a three-bolt pattern allowing for smaller rings. Riders can now drop down to a 27-tooth small ring. It comes in traditional or BB 30 dimensions.
