Octto...a hundred things have to fall in place

Since we have the "net" I'm going to publish some posts that have been lingering...

Fist off we never really thanked Octto Dave for all his help this year.

I'm just going to copy paste an e-mail Dave sent me after he had Krys hand deliver the new wheels to me at Pearson International.

"... if we want to get Canadians on top of podiums in international competition, we need to stop thinking like we don't deserve to be there. There has to be a belief-system in place. And hand-delivering the wheels is just part of that system. A hundred things have to fall into place for a championship to happen, equipment is just one small part of that equation. The more parts of that equation that can be fulfilled, then the balance of the equation shifts towards a favorable result. Sometimes the fittest rider is undermined by equipment-failure and sometimes the best equipped-rider is simply outperformed by a competitor. But the key is to keep as many of those hundred plates spinning as possible. And belief is one of those plates.

So, at OCTTO, if we sponsor a rider, then we believe they are a champion. It's that simple. "

So when you need stems, bars, seat posts, cool stories http://www.octto.com/news.html check it out. There are some cool stories, did you know that as of the 1st UCI rankings Tasha and Wendy had Canada ranked 3rd in Nations and the Canuck boys had Canada ranked 6th?

So you may think that you're just buying bar tape, but your not, your putting your money into a Canadian company, helping Canadian athletes be the best in the World.
