My employer decided it was best to keep the doors open during this virus thing. So I made some magnesium clamps. Saved 40 grams of weight over the aluminum ones I made last year!

Anodizing at home is easy:)

I remember years ago, we were burning the mag lowers on a broken Rock Shox SID fork while camping out at Big Bend park in TX for the Mas O Menos MTB race. That was also my introduction to a sweat lodge. Those bikemojo forum guys were quite the characters and a lot of fun... I also learned the legend of Night Train Express. I think I'm going to be sick.
