Must we bow down to the electronic overlords? Bikes Sell // Trade Magazine Flight Attendant: More Batteries Means More Wins? Yesterday, RockShox and SRAM launched the latest version of Flight Attendant, a wireless electronic suspension system. They claim it will help XC racers go 1.8% faster and save precious brain watts so they can focus on victory. I'm a tech geek, so of course I want it. I want it bad.
