Sick bike, but is he really riding the Cousin Earl wheelset after what happened at Crankworx? Good luck Brandon, I hope they hold up better for you at Rampage!
They're Big Earl, not Cousin Earl. Not sure if there's actually a difference, in fact pretty much every wheel in the Bontrager lineup seems to be re-branded Duster rims on various hubs.
well if they produced a faulty chainstay... (what they did on the scratch) and if you break it .. you get it replaced. (with the same one) unless you are over warranty time.. then you can buy one of them.. you can buy the same damm model what will break again.. now thats the reason i want to kick the trek management in the ballz.. i found this out through an owner of one .. who i was supposed to be trading frames with .. untill we found out this little hickup of his frame,..
Still could be wrong on the Chromags but dont agree with HT. On all of their pedals you can see the axle on the outside edge (like the gold you can see on their site in your link). Zoom in, you cannot see that on his.

Chromags new pedal is low profile and only a select few in town are running them yet, like Brandon.
