So how much does it weigh? I'm suprised at some of the choices as well. 7K rims, Dx pedals, Fly tyres...Can i have a go?[edit] ah-ha, on the blog it says 23lbs. extremly light then. do you ride for Pijin?

the666ers Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I realise i can make it lighter but i dont want to really. Anything sub 23lbs feels very unstable, I know cos I've had it under 22lbs before.Plastic bar ends breakTi brake kit was sent to us accidentally instead of regular one, so it was dead cheap.Sevenka's cos I could. Wheels need to last so 'buy the best, buy it once'Tyres cos khe's make the bike feel as unstable as a shit, and the fly's have a good all round tread pattern.Not quite sure if you're trying to be funny or something?Edit: I'll ride for half a pijin if its a good'un Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) ermsince last time - in roughly this orderKHE legobrick shaped pedalsOBMs old forksanimal tyreshazard lite on a homer at the front - built by my own fair handspegless - due to giant homer bolts not fitting through the holes in my shadow pegs. This is highly gay and as soon as I get off my fat arse and purchase a file that fits in a 14mm hole I'll be rectifying the matter. its nice having a bike that weighs 2lbs less than it did this morning thoughThe big question is do I spray the wheel white or go for a black back one when I replace it in a few weeks ?

A!! Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Just got my MacNeil Silencer XLTs today, so i've put them on and had a little ride. First impressions of them were how light they where for their size, it's crazy. On the bike they feel amazing too, give some much more control and feel, and getting the front up feels a lot easy. So all in all well worth the money, top bars . I put my old Fit grips on as well, which are much comfier, as the Ruben's ripped and went all shitty.So here's some pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut them down? will i fook They feel amazing, much better than the 24" bars i was running before, so much more control. To be honest i'm pretty happy with it now, so the other stuff can wait a while. Stem wise i think i'm going to wait and see what the Fit DLD is like. And in the mean time i'm going to replace the front innertube, as it is stupidly heavy (one of those really thick raleigh ones), so i'll just repair an old thinner one i've got lying around, and whack that in.

poopipe Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Cut them down? will i fook yeah - look at the bike ffs. you can't go riding round pegless with a slammed seat and a freecoaster running anything other than a pair of giganto-bars these days. wide bars aren't my thing at all (i hold 24.5" bars on the bend) but they do look better in pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
