I shouldn't tempt you, but.....

That's just MEAN!

I really really want to get a set, but I can't justify them as the Fox are great for me!!!

I apologise! It's just with the little red decals it would look sooo good!

How about some Ti axle MG1s? I think they're about 60 quid a pair and weigh sub 300g!

How are those Race Kings BTW? As slippery as they look?

21lbs??? Jeez... How can my bike weigh 9 more pounds that yours

Time to plan the diet

The frame is exceptionally light, really really light.... theres a lot of carbon on there, and the wheels are pretty light too.

The saddle weighs next to nothing, so do the brakes......

All adds up

Very very fast and grippy on firm, dry terrain. Very low RR

S*** when wet and muddy, loose ground.

Very nice IFT. Some XTR SPDs would look good (IMO).
