Julius Czar Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hi, get rid of those onza forks, there really heavy, and you will notice the difference when your on the back wheel a lot.Kiwi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 The best thing would be the forks, they're 1400g, a set of Echo Lites are 840g.Depending on what tyres you have, you can save a lot of weight there.The stem and headset won't save a fat lot when you're running Onza wheels and forks.

A.Baxter Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Deffo the forks mate, wen i got some new forks and took my onza forks off i was very surprised at the weight of them Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Shields Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 up grade all them is the bars arnt carbon upgrade them tooYeh i agree with that. the forks mainly are stupidly heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza-ian Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) yep would have to agree there , i swapped my onza forks (1397g) for a set of echo sl forks for £80 (588g) noticable difference whatever your doing , and if your prepared to throw a bit o' money at it , i would recomend some monty 221 cranks (£80 and very light ) and some magnesium pedals which quite a few brands are selling for around 45 pounds.

max-t Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 pedals also, but getting magnesium you can save over 100 grams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vandart Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Maxxis creapy crawlyTyres are a good way to shed weight on a 24" or 26" but I am afraid I'm not much help with 20"Try buying some stuff made from unobtanium or have a really good dump.Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Maxxis creapy crawlyGet a Front Try-All and a rear Monty, that would save a fair bit over Creepy Crawlers.The forks and wheels will be where most of the weight can be lost though.

EllTG Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Get a drilling machine?Can anyone actually vouch for drilling things out?As far as i can see its more trouble than its worth.I have a mate some of you may know. Andy B and from what i see he went a bit mental with one of his old frames. In the end just drilling out random holes anywhere! Looked god awful, sooooo naff!
