ShockWiz is compatible with most air-sprung suspension forks and rear shocks, from many different manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe intersection of bicycles and technology is nearly infinite, but we really want to make bicycles better to ride,\u201d said Meyer. \u201cWe are looking for creations that take away the thinking and leave the thrill.
