Simpson Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I can't beleive you are saying that, you started an argument last time I rode london with you about the weight of someones inspired and started saying how you love your lighter parts as it makes it so much easier to ride.Yea but I'm never going to lose a fundamental part of the bike aka. a saddle, in my quest for a lighter bike.

Even without a front brake my bike still weigh's a heftty 10.8kg, a front brake would add what, 500g? big deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Gibbs Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 looks pretty swish. Nice to see a rear disc mount! another company joining the 24 scene does anyone think this may ruin it slightly? just a thought like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seats arent bad there great apart from when your feet slip of cheap pedals (that hurts the children) but all in all they are there for a reason. You wouldnt expect to see a downhill bike without a seat. But yeah for modern trials, seats are kinda pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
