Rotem and I scheduled a visit with one of
Team Jamis' generous sponsors.
SRAM provides our
XX1 drive trains,
brakes and
suspension (and my favorite bike part, my
dropper post). We got a tour of the entire facility and could only take pictures in some rooms to ensure protection of the prototypes! As an added bonus Keaton, one of THE SRAM mechanics dialed in my bike for Saturday's race!

One of the exciting things I learned today. These tools have 2 functions beyond protecting your brake pads when there isn't a wheel/rotor in there...you can measure if the pistons are pushed in when resetting them and it's a bottle opener |

Massive thanks to Keaton Ward for getting my race machine dialed in! You know your bike is in good hands when in you're in the SRAM headquarters! |
