Hey BlackDiamond, Nice Stem!
Sweet looking parts. What made you decide on the Azonic pedals? Price, quality, looks??? Do tell.
I got some of these for Christmas and I LIKE!

I destroy pedals. Not sure why but whether cheap or expensive I wreck them. The longest lasting pedals I have had in 2 years is 2 months. So I have given up. These stick to my feet like glue and last about 1.5 months or so. Thats a good enough sell for me.
I got the stem, not blackdiamond

Actually this is an inside joke between a2psyklnut and I. Long story short. When I was going to get the Dorado, I was going to sell him my stem for cheap. But since I got the 888R I decided to keep my stem. So now he always says nice stem.
Little does he know as soon as I'm able to get a 50mm integrated stem from go-ride, I'll be selling him my stem for even cheaper than before

Hey Mael, where can you get the Biglink for $399US? I checked w/ my LBS and I got quoted $800 CAN. MAn it sucks living in Edmonton. Everything is soooooo expensive compared to Calgary. Example. In E-town, a fully built SC Bullit costs $4500, in Cowtown, it costs $3900. I don't get it.

Ummmm edmonton is WAY up north and more or less in the middle of nowhere. Calgary is further south and much closer to the states. Cost of living is more in edmonton so shops pay more rent.
399 us is RIGHT off the specialized website. I got told 800$ as well by my shop but I don't plan to buy from a shop. I am either going used or online

Yeah, but what about your stem? Did you cut it down too?
O.k., I'll stop!

Still kicking.
Nice, but I'd be a bit weary about the Azonic pedals though. They were the only pedals that made my Atom Labs Look good which I broke after 3 weeks.
