Summit Viper is getting retired after almost 15 years. I don't know how it happened, but one of the cable ends was crushed in. This is after prying it open to get the cable out.

I just ordered a Summit Titan that should be here before opener, so I can still position for the wind, scrapes rubs and trails.

I guess I got my money's worth out of it. I'm interested in how well the foam they put in the new aluminum tubing works to reduce noise.
