Aaron Gwin's Intense M29 at 2019 Worlds MSA 10
10 of 40
A master craftsman doing work. With redemption for a season missed due to injury on the line, and the small matter of pursuing those ever-elusive rainbow stripes to attend to, no stone will be left unturned in Aaron Gwin's quest for speed here at Worlds MSA. From prototype brake calipers to custom drilled levers, no detail will be overlooked by John Hall as he sets about building the ultimate race weapon. Cruise the gallery to see what we mean!

Remember that one time in 2012 @ the Leogang Worlds what happened when Gwin ran prototype brakes...This is probably another time NOT to use prototype brakes....just saying

So it looks like Gwin is running alloy cranks... no more Carbon EThirteen cranks after the mishap from the Pro GRT, if I am remembering correctly

i just added audio above and he explains a lot of rad details about the bike. FWIW w/ the levers, the dimples are already there, he's just drilling through them, not starting new holes from scratch.

It sure seems like he's just removing the coating, not drilling all the way through.

I am also very curious about this... with all the experience and tooling at his disposal, why did Juan chose to do this job on the bike? Why risk slipping and damaging the part; or far worse, his hand? No judgment, just ‘intense’ curiosity.

I always find it easier to drill things on a bench
