VIDEO: Canfield Lithium on Lithium Trail - Teton Pass
by Don Stefanovich
With the enduro MTB race season coming to an end, Anthony Sansalone headed to Teton Pass just outside Jackson, WY. While there, he rode many of the classic downhill mountain-bike trails off the pass, but one in particular was high on his list: Lithium. Even with a shuttle, a solid climb stands between riders and gravity-fed redemption on this epic descent.
Ride along in this POV video as he shreds his long-travel 29er down the very trail for which it was named.

What can I say? I grabbed this to spiff up a new build on a matte black frame. A few other small "oil slick" parts really made it look sharp. I think the seat collar really pulls it all together and it's very nicely machined.
How much can you rave about a seatpost clamp? I don’t know, but I’m going to try.
First and foremost, it flawlessly holds your seatpost in place! Winner!
But that’s not all! It has a beautiful anodized finish (mine is gold) that adds the beautiful bling to the bike you’re looking for! Eight colors to choose from folks! Can you believe it? Well, you better, because it’s true!
Many seatpost clamps might measure up but can never supersede the look and performance of this clamp!
I had to convert to flat pedals after a knee injury. I picked these because they’ve been around a while and have a great reputation. Let me tell you — they live up to that rep! Pins grip the bottom of your shoe and hold them in place. The low profile helps avoid rock strikes, and I’m saving a few grams versus my usual clipless pedals. No issues with durability, and paint finish endures the occasional dings you get on you pedals. Also, I really like the concave platform, which may or may not suit others.
This BB is what I’ve been using on all of my Canfield builds (for the past 9 years) and it’s a solid component that’s never let me down, and they install smoothly. It’s a piece that simply works.
